I do! Just go tickets for a show in February at the Roseland. That is one of the worst venues in town, but will do it for BOC. Never seen them before and hope they still rock.
Not sure what they are like these days but back in the day they rocked little venues in Rochester like The Penny Arcade. It was so much fun to be a hooligan back then :-)
So who's left? Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma? The two brothers on bass and drums formed a different version of the band. Allen Lanier, the keyboardist, died.
I liked the album Secret Treaties when it came out in 1974. The local band would play these songs at the school dances in San Diego, and we thought it was rocking, surf music.
I remember a night they played the Mabuhay Gardens on Broadway, San Francisco, billed as Soft White Underbelly. I was with the other crowd across the street waiting to get in to The Stone to see the Jerry Garcia Band.
The rule for me originated from some Cal Expo show in the early 90s when the tape we were listening to in the microbus while stuck in traffic going into the lot was way better than the band's actual performance that night.
Got Marshall Tucker on right now to cleanse the pallet.
Show was good. For a band that pioneered the use of lasers in concert, it was surprisingly unpretentious. They looked and dressed like your uncle's garage band and had only simple lights with no lasers. Music was well played and well mixed, although I thought it could be a notch louder.

Crowd was about 33% older dudes, 33% younger dudes, and 34% women of all ages who were the type of chicks you would like to party with, but wouldn't want to ever cross.
Saw them on the Black and Blue tour im 80. They played a free concert in a park thrown by a local radio station in maybe 98 with Govt. Mule opening when Woody was still alive. Left after Mule. Most people left really after Mule. Probably only a few hundred stuck around.

Amazing - best I've ever seen them.
ETI blew the roof off the place. They pretty much played everything I wanted to hear.
You're right- the place was a bit of a dump- but a lot of history in there.
