Regarding Martin Popoff's rating system in his '70s book on Heavy Metal, he had two different ratings. The first number indicated how "heavy" the album was by '70s standards, the second number indicated the overall merit of the record. "Some Enchanted Evening" he gave the rating 7/6. In the rating box Wikipedia should show the merit rating rather than the "heaviness" rating, or as the case was with this album, the average of these two. Therefore I changed the rating from 6.5 to 6.

Two tracks recorded in Columbus Georgia.
On the 1978 live album, tracks 2 and 3 recorded April 11th 1978, Municipal Auditorium, Columbus, Georgia Citation: http://www.discogs.com/Blue-%C3%96yster-Cult-Some-Enchanted-Evening/release/1237892

There's a strong connection between Blue Öyster Cult (& "Don't Fear The Reaper" in a creepy, ironic way) and the area I'm posting from, Columbus, GA-Phenix City, AL, that I don't know is so well known elsewhere as it is here, since it happened just down the block it is not surprising we locals know about it, and sometimes discuss it.

==========================================

Tuesday 11th April Postponed Gig: Municipal Auditorium, Columbus, Georgia [Rescheduled for 14 April 1978]

The Columbus gig was shuffled forward three days to the 14th due to a terrible accident involving a BOC equipment truck crashing into a car and going over a bridge, resulting in two deaths. The accident occurred at approximately 9:40 AM on the morning of Tuesday, April 11th. Killed were Joel Barry Fields, age 32, of Cedar, Michigan, and Cora Lee Perry (age 39) of Columbus, Georgia. Fields was the owner of a small trucking firm that hauled BOC's lighting equipment; he was only a few blocks from his destination (the Columbus Municipal Auditorium) when the wreck occurred, he heading eastbound into Columbus from Alabama across the Oglethorpe Bridge, which spans the Chattahoochee River, encountered a car that just stopped in front of him. In an effort to avoid hitting this vehicle, Barry swerved and lost control of his semi, which crossed the median into the other (westbound) lane, and crushed the car driven by Ms. Perry. The tractor-trailer continued over the railing and plunged into the river; it seems both victims died pretty quickly. While crossing the Chattahoochee River Bridge on 10 April 1978, he ran up on stopped rush hour traffic. The truck jumped through the guard rail and plunged 300 feet down destroying him and all of the lighting equipment in the river below. The gig was just on the other side of the bridge. Complicated even further by state line issues... this accident technically happened in Phenix City Alabama, as the state line was at the center of the bridge and he never made it that far. So he killed the woman and left the road in Alabama and landed in Georgia.

And so it goes.
