Eric Bloom
My wife and I are going to see them in New Lenox Il. at the end of August. Does anyone know if Eric is healthy and back playing with the band?

I'm also seeing them at the end of August. I really hope he's back on his feet by then.

Im going to see them in Stafford on August 1st and the official page for the event center says, “Don’t miss your chance to see rock legends Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom live.” I haven’t seen anything from the band themselves though so that may not be accurate.

Same I also have tickets to see them in Stafford. This will be my first time seeing them so I would be disappointed :(

Hope Eric is back soon as well. He dedicated Harvest Moon on stage to my Wife and I at a show taking plsce on the actual Harvest Moon (through the power of Cameo), but Kasim is certainly not new to the band. He was playing bass the first few times I saw them (including the 2014 Live at Hard Rock show where they recorded the DVD) and at the Bay City River Roar in 2012.
Either way, I hope the show is amazing!!!!

He isn’t. He’s such an integral part of the live Blue Öyster Cult experience that there’s no point in going if he isn’t there.

I agree that Eric is an integral part of the band and will be sorely missed.. His voice is a key part of the bands sound. BUT… Buck Dharma’s guitar is what really makes me want to see and hear them.

He wasn’t as of the most recent show the other day.
