I think I may have booked the Blue Öyster Cult, as Soft White Underbelly, the first paying gig of their careers. One of my closest friends, Sandy Pearlman, was writing songs and managing them and they were almost the house band at my school after a while. Even back then, the late 60s, Sandy had a dream of creating a rock opera which finally was released in 1988-- butchered up by CBS Records-- as Imaginos. My favorite song on the album is an updated-- to put it mildly-- version of "Astronomy," which was orginally released in 1974 on Secret Treaties.
