Watched them preform back in 1995. Arrived early to beat the crowd , saw this guy sitting on the edge of the stage with a few people around in front of him. Thought to myself "Any band members autograph would be great" ! Got down there and found it was Brad just sitting and chatting with the fans ! what an experience ! Cool guy . Signed my ticket stub most graciously. I've been a Boston fan since high school 1979 , So I hated to hear when he passed ! Miss him being here ! Peace be with you Brad
Brad, you had a voice made in heaven, and the gift never left you. What a tragic loss the music world took when we lost you...RIP. NO ONE WILL EVER SING AS HIGH AND MIGHTY AS YOU.
Brad Delp, RIP, was the soul of Boston, Tom Schulz, the heart. Their genius and passion for incredibly fabulous rock and roll that channeled life and livingness and having fun in it is what made them rock heroes of the 70's. They along with Jethro Tull, the Moody Blues, Grand Funk, and Paul Rogers of Free and Bad Company, defined the 70's rock era. Music tells a story and these guys were the best.
It’s really a shame there really isn’t a good quality sound/mix of Boston for one of their live performances with Brad. Really amazing considering what a tech giant Tom is. Such a great band, one of the greatest rock albums of all time
There once was a genre in music that dominated FM radio called "good-time rock n' roll" and this band was THE legendary favorite of everyone I knew. Excellent musicianship, the absolute best guitar riffs, wholesome lyrics and rich, multi-layered harmonies that are almost impossible to achieve in a live performance. I ask you... what the hell more can you ask for?!
I was going to ask who the lovely young woman was, but I think you just answered it. Wow! She is young, but has wonderful taste in music and is a fine musician! :))
I bought this album in the 70s, and never played it. Why? Because all the songs were in heavy rotation on the AOR radio station--the music was on the air all the flippin' time! This is very well filmed, poster, if you're the one who filmed it.
I don't give a rats ass about Def Leppard's Hysteria album as far as I'm concerned it couldn't hold a candle to Boston's first album & that is a fact... I don't give a crap about how many units it sold...
Tom Scholz created the perfect band, and continued to create...even as far as building their own amps! This man has more talent in his little finger than most have in their entire families! Just saying, give him the credit he so richly deserves. He IS Boston.....always.
It is not my opinion, it is facts: that album sold 20 millions of copies and had 7 singles out of it.It is not just me remembering it, check out the article on wikipedia.
Santana's debut was the "Evil Ways' album 1968, Abraxas came years later, but another debut band that comes to mind is Steely Dan's first album with all winning tracks also 1972. just fyi. saskatchawan
This is amazing... Absolutely amazing. And, by the way, The answer is... A female bassist. The question is... What's the sexiest freakin' thing in the world!?...
tom scholz is awesome he grouped together a kick ass group in the 70s and as skynyrds anthem is freebird bostons is more than a feeling that song always gives me chills oh yeah the lady on bass nice bass nice ass.
Damn. As much as I love them & I absolutely adore Brad...his body language is off. He seems uncomfortable...like he wants to be having fun & he's trying to..but it's just not happening. Now that voice NEVER falters..EVER! But maybe his heart wasn't in it anymore(?) I'm talking outta school of course..but something was already different (in moi opinion)💔😪 ...& I recall hearing him say this was his fave song to perform
How about a debut album with all hits and was recorded by one guy playing almost all of the instruments and recording it in his own studio instead of the record company's?
A nice live solid f5 slide and then actually hitting that f5 scream with absolutely no bullshit, like starting at a lower note and going up, not using some foreign head voice
Keyboardist allowed himself plenty of impro time on this one, you can tell the band wasn't always picking up on cue, gotta love that... when you're in keyboard dominated band. Ask David Gilmour about Rick Wright's 'surprises' lol
Not improv, just the song "Foreplay". Typically, the keyboardist (Tom Scholz, who plays the guitar parts on the studio version and on most songs live) was too much of a perfectionist to offer any surprises live; it was, in fact, the surprises which threw him off a lot in live performances.
Kimberely Dahme is a fine Guiter player and has a fabulous voice, If you can't say anything nice about the musicianship posted here then don't post on my channel. ...your negative comments will self destruct in 24 hours after everyone has seen your dark side. so long.
Some that immediately come to mind: The Doors Van Halen Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix Experience & Band Of Gypsys Bruce Springsteen The Band Tom Petty I'm sure theres a lot more...
I really love this song, but the crowd shots make me sad. These guys don't really seem all that enthusiastic about being at this concert. Majority of the people there just seem to be standing around or half-heartedly shaking a fist. You think they'd be more excited with a high energy song like this.
as far as i knew, the boston are all males. why in this video i saw a woman on a guitar? is she a member of the boson? may i knew please??? caused im an avid fun of boston. i'll have all their songs i always playing in my internet cafe.
