Sir Paul McCartney wrote this song when he was 16! Actually Paul said he did not fell like it was for the Beatles. Paul was dating Peter's sister for most of the 60's. That's how he got access to the great one.
Hey Tom Schulz look at Barry still rocking his ass off. Barry was an integral part of Boston for the first two albums then self centered Tom fired him. Without Brad Delp Tom has nothing, only a Home Depot parrot trying to keep Tom Schulz relevant when he isn't anymore.
Great post! At first, I was looking for Danny Johnson (guitar), Michael Wilk (Keyboards), & Ron Hurst (drums). I have no idea who the band members are, here...LOL
Gordon was drop dead GORGEOUS when he was young and had the young girls' hearts aflutter! His sudden, without warning death came as a total shock to me.😢
This is tremendous…I have seen each of these great voices live, and what an incredible tribute to George Harrison! Super band backing them up. Thank you
Love any and all redoes of the original recordings with at least some of the original players ie Steve Hackett, Martin Barre. Roger McGuinn is missed but this keeps him alive Thanks for posting... P.S. It's even cooler that they are wearing Roger McGuinn glasses and the chic in the back digging the grooves with the strings and the bow...
Song author was Paul McCartney. Lennon would make fun of the song. He thought the first line 'please lock me away' was hilarious. The singer in the video is his supposed to be future brother-in-law.
Listen to Barry Goudreau and the Engine Room. Not fair to compare anyone to Brad Delp. Brian Maes is a good singer with the Engine Room songs. Just very different.
One of my favorite memories of working with these guys is when we did a track for "Boston does the Stones" where I convinced my dear friend [Mr.] Jimmy Miller to produce the track. They did "Live With Me"... this was shortly after "Suicide At the Wishing Well", before their national release. Jimmy let them try to figure out how to play it best [while I was rolling a 2 track reel in case some great idea might have been overlooked that Jimmy may have identified]. When Jimmy heard the band hit the "right" arrangement / version of the song he had me call them into the control room. He commenced to telling a Rolling Stones recording story that was totally unrelated to the track at hand. Everyone was having fun - the story made everyone loose and laughing. The band then went back in to "rehearse it a couple more times" -- as instructed, I "hit red" [recorded it], and it was a magnificent take... honored the song, but was UNIQUELY the "Swinging Steaks". This being some of my drug years and time when I was a bit pissed off at them for kinda throwing me under the bus [business wise, I digress -- and am no longer bitter!!] the master got lost [meaning I'm pretty sure I sold the reel of tape to cop dope], the "after session rough mix" was what ended up on the album. Wish I had the opportunity to have mixed it properly... but some things just ain't meant to be.
Thank you for this wonderful video! Peter Asher is such a remarkable part of our musical history. His contributions will be cherished for always. Lyle Lovett is a one of a kind talent we are fortunate to know.
