BOSTON Something About You 2004 LiVE @ Gilford 

Agreed. Try Myles Kennedy…. Angelic Voice !!

Yep gorgeous voice❤

I tried to mimic his voice and hurt myself lol

Yes and gorgeous overall 🩵

@@fa6106 Myles Kennedy's solo work is great.

Everyone still listens to Boston

@@monsterzero1965 I know I do. I remember when they came out. I'm turning 61 soon and will forever listen to Boston.

He was very Troubled! I wish he had run to Jesus.....instead!

@@jthoen61 I just turned 65. We played THE SHIT out of this album back in the day. Still have it.

@@rusty383 Yeah, after he found out his fiance cheated on him and then he still stayed with her, it still affected him very much. Plus he had depression issues to begin with already, caused him to do what he did with putting that hidden camera in her sister's room in his house. There was no way he could face anyone again after he was found out, especially the GF so he unfortunately decided to end his life. He was very troubled, yes indeed. A talented musician indeed that just made a bad mistake.

true but they sure didn't last very long.

totally agree my friend. i cant count the hours that i jumped into my junky old car back in the 70s and 80s and shoved the first boston cassette into the tape deck and drove around for hours and hours and loved every minute of it!

Their debut plays like a greatest Hits Recording ...

One of the greatest complete albums ever made.

Do you mean Brad Delp and Tom Sholz, Tom Sholz, and Tom Sholz? Or Tom Sholz on something else, as well? Boston’s original lineup was only in the studio, after all.

My friend I wish you'd seen them live also I saw them live right after they release their second album I've seen probably 200 concerts in my life in Boston was one of the very best I ever saw

I’m 59 and I wish I’d seen them too! No group, no singer, no musician, will ever come close to being anything like them. I think so many times about how many songs on their first album were hits that have never gotten old, and what else they would have created if it didn’t end so quickly 😢

Lexington Lab band comes close.

Close like horse shoes and hand grenades. Only ONE original!🤘✌️

Muy de acuerdo con Ud. Mr. Hooper. Tiene toda la razón. Un cordial saludo desde Cuba 🇨🇺

LOL when was he ever underrated? Fans of the music of that period as well as singers/musicians then and now almost unanimously view him as one of the demigods.

lyzyrdgyzyrd Brad was ALWAYS underrated. Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Steve Perry, etc. got all the praise and accolades back in the day, and are highly regarded as the "greatest" of all time today, despite the fact that Brad Delp could hit higher notes and harmonize better than any of those guys. Meanwhile, many people today have never even HEARD of Brad Delp. He never had the "star power" OR the name recognition. You need to think things through before "LOL'ing" at people.

Thats incorrect. The world of music is fully aware...

@@markcheetah4960 - you must've lived under a rock...

Nah, dude... that was you. Under a rock for sure

Soooo true dude. 🤘✌️!

the loss of his vocals as they once were was his whole life, ones that are hard to replace left him that way, iconic voice

@@anthonymilano7916 I've not heard that before. Was Brad losing his voice ? That would certainly have been devastating......

@@carolduplessis2645 I assume you know why he took his life. It was because he did something that he was extremely embarrassed about. And his fiance was about to find out about it. His fiance's sister lived at his house. They were extremely close friends. I guess he had a secret crush on the sister and he hid a secret camera in her bedroom. She found it and confronted him. He apologized profusely and begged her not to tell her sister. She told him that her sister would find out one way or another and if he didn't want her to tell her sister, then the only option was for him to tell her himself. She gave him one week to do it. Rather than admit to his fiance what he had done, he took his own life. Brad was such a nice guy and I think the incident was an aberration. We have all done stupid things in our life. Unfortunately Brad was so ashamed of what he had done, he just couldn't bear to have to tell his fiance about it. ultimateclassicrock.com/brad-delp-suicide-lawsuit/

Well, all those millions didn’t really know him, I guess that’s the catch. What really matters in the end is a person’s close orbit.

I agree. It's killer...

The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke anymore. It's not about rock anymore.

I'm with you on that. It's a joke. A bad one at that.

If you recall when they put nwa in, they passed over YES. Then put them in a year later after Chris Squire died. Absolutely pathetic. And don't get me started about Foghat!!!

NWA isn't even close to Hard Rock. Whoever oversees the nominees should've known better. What the hell was he thinking!

Total bullshit.

Hearing them back then, just as a teenager, you could tell that this was a whole new concept in rock sound, with the multiple harmonizing guitars and multiple harmonizing voices, it was a completely new sound, and yes, it was way ahead of its time. I went through at least 3 of the first LP lol. Still have it, its in great shape.

Me 2 especial the 🎸

Literally could not find a favorite on their first album... if they could blend into the next song, it would be 1 long hit song!!

@@tomgrams2333 Bravo,and i've got the tape from EPIC/CBS.

Dodger Dogz If someone could've just told him and made him understand how much he was loved.

@@levinmoser4001 He might have known somewhere in his mind, but it's possibly harder to face up to the kind of thing he did than it is to just leave.

Boston didn't get the recognition they deserved. The most underrated band ever. They need to be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame. It isn't too late.

Dodger Dogz , it’s called depression and the only cure is you have to let God in to change the way you fell about yourself! You truly must love yourself in order for you to love others so they can love to back!

@@sheatiller2465 he screwed up. he could have made it right. he chose the pussy way out.

cant say i agree with you saying "under appreciated", i remember the late 70s and early 80s, myself and many of my friends had cassettes of the first 2 boston albums and they litterally never left the tape decks in our cars/bedrooms. both albums were mind blowing! I know Shultz produced and recorded the first album in his home studio and that very version is the one that was released... he was the musical genius to Brad's breathtaking and cloudy voice and style.

Really?

Wow l think hes great but he did have help, give credit...🤘✌️

+Duane Berke, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMYpxL4AKKM.html

Also my Band in the Youth.

they were awesome in the 70's too in my youth and their still awesome

Yes my youth band discovered them living in Australia in the 70s still have their original vinal records also the cds

Class of 79 Boston rocked

I believe it was '79 when I was fortunate enough to catch them in San Antonio, Texas at the now defunct Hemisfair Arena.

wuts with you ? don't get paid to post TWICE sure he sounded pretty - bu Ive always said - they needed a girl singer to sound much better

@@minnowviewbait Who knows?

Seen the same show in Portland Oregon. My first concert and the best one ever.

Caught the tour in Spokane, WA. Great concert!

classrockin yes saw same tour in Vegas, what a show

Saw that tour in Tulsa, OK!

Those were some times.

+Tigerguy 101, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMYpxL4AKKM.html

Amen brother !! this man was Boston !!!!

No he wasn't. Tom Scholz is Boston. Without Tom Scholz, there is no Boston. I just saw them in concert last week and they were fantastic!

I think it would be more appropriate to say that Delp was " THE voice" of Boston...And he was, it would be like the Rolling Stones without Jagger or Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant.

Actually Scholz mostly and Delp, the others were hired hands and I think Barry Goudreau is great but that is what he was.

Maybe his last BOSTON concert, but far from his last live performance.

Best Debut Album of All time!!

Mine too, memories....

Robert gregory Peace and strength to you brother!!! By the way, if you were and are a fan of this band, you were and will always be cool.

Don’t say you’re’in the way’. If you truly think so please get professional help

You’re not in the way. You’re awesome brotha!

Yes good times ...

He was just pure amazing

Beautiful . Boston is truly special ...how i was in love with the drummer ..back in the day

❤❤❤

They were truly addictive and infectious, what a blessing. 🤘✌️

@@murfkuhls3494 better than the first? Impossible

Yes

He was the man with the golden voice

And it takes 3 people to try and fill his shoes. Maynard from Tool is the same on people trying to cover them.

Covid is takin the greats

@@intense5335 got Janice and Jimi too, dang. Shes a killer.

Awesome post

He died because he was found out watching with a camera his fiance's younger sister's bedroom. And got busted.

@@mattchoman9737 long battle .

Mick Donnell I don’t think he did.

HOW WOULD HE, HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A $ MILLION DOLLARS WHEN HE TOOK HIS LIFE.

nice name dude

@@WellStudied that's because Tom made all the money. The rest of the guys were just hired employees. Tom wrote and played every Boston song ever released. He needed a vocalist. Brad Delp was the man. But, still a paid employee.

@@WellStudied Maybe if Tom woodn't have been so Got dam greedy and shared sum of the money, Brad woodn't have got depressed and kilt himself. It wood suck ta be in one of the most popular bands in tha world, while having to go ta food pantries to beg for food.

They headlined a Texxas Jam in late 70s. We were all so hot and rocking for over 14 hours but when BOSTON came on .....oh yeah....

I saw them many times in the 80s. Excellent shows. The first was just to see one of my favorite bands live. After that first show, I was hooked. They played Giants stadium 4 nights. My first show was the first night. After seeing that show I bought tickets from a scalper for 2 more nights. ( they were sold out). It was worth every extra penny I paid for the other tickets. Fantastic band live back then. Brad was unbelievable. On the 4th night he needed a lil help from backing vocals but still unbelievable. I think they had 1 night off between all 4 shows. That tour was 1986 or early 87.

Erik Valdur, that probably was the Third Stage tour, I have a friend that asked his brother and sister to go with him, when I asked why I wasn't invited .... He gave the classic answer.... Family before friends..... True story.

I hear ya bro....LOVED BOSTON...

huh - do you RILLY think they will ? down ther ?? - hint; they're NOT in the graves - only bodies or bones are !

@@minnowviewbait Don't believe in the anima, eh?

John Rush I didn’t know that sib passed

+JB Skully, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMYpxL4AKKM.html

JB Skully Godspeed Brad.

What shows they must have been!

+LudwigSC93, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sMYpxL4AKKM.html

Boston is timeless brad now u are singing with angels man buddy u made us cry when u sang here and more when left us why did u leave? We all loved u!!

It took a band together to create that sound called Boston. 🤘✌️

He was no where near as good as Freddie.

David Porter thats your opinion, and like me you're entitled to it, but that's where it ends.

David Porter I'll take Brad over Freddy any day

David Porter in his prime, delp was better than freddie as far as range. Freddie was a better frontman and writer

+hottom3rd I would beg to differ that Brad was a better vocalist than Freddie (who is great) but we all have a valuable opinion :)

But never forgotten.

You're kidding right? Seriously you don't hear any bad notes or strain here?

Andrew Dieb Well compared to “poor bob plant” there isn’t much strain 😂

Unfair shot

Thanks for the kind words, Fortunately we put new batteries in the camera mic that day, and thank you for watching my videos!

You mean cassettes and 8 tracks lol

Or LPs.

+james parker Even in the 70's live he didn't try to duplicate the studio and Barry Gordy was his main harmonizer. He knew even way back then he couldn't sing all night every night if he sand just the high parts. I think what is hear is the other vocals are not as loud as they were with the original band when they played live and you have to remember that in the 70's Brad wasn't as well known and not the focal point the whole band was. Schulz latter took a lot of credit for everything, but it is well known now that Barry Gordy wrote many of the musical harmonies of the guitars and vocals.

+Ill Barry Who is "Barry Gordy"? And who is "Schulz"?

+james parker Barry and Tom Schulze wrote much of the Boston songs. They were the two guitarists of the original Boston. Schulze produced Boston and mixed the recordings. I my spelling is off so be it if you just want to be narcissistic and adolescent.

+Ill Barry Listen pal, the fact that you can't even get their names right (Although I do congratulate you: you can spell "TOM"!) calls into question your pompous pontifications re "who wrote/played what" on the Boston albums...anyone who knows anything about the whole "Boston" phenomenon (as I do, having read much; plus I am a guitarist/musician/composer myself) knows that details re who did what are hopelessly mired in "he said/he said" argumentation from the persons involved (SCHOLZ, GOUDREAU and the others)...the undisputed fact is that, re the material, Tom Scholz IS Boston; add to that, the fact that Brad Delp is THE VOICE of Boston; re the contributions of the others, there is no compelling evidence of overly great contribution...FACT: the "Third Stage" album was classic Boston, yet had no Goudreau, Sheehan, or Hashian...FACT also, that on these live vids, Scholz handles the lead guitar work as good as anyone else would (this against the empty assertion that "Tom Scholz is a keyboardist, more than a guitar player")...

+james parker It is you who is being pompous, and an ass, and very juvenile adolescent. I didn't spell the names correctly, but corrected you on some facts that you do not wish to hear and you were the one who replied as you did. I am not your pal and would never want to be simply because I have little time to be anywhere around adolescents parading as adults.

Wish he was still with us, but the new guy is very good too.

Are you listening to the same song I'm listening to? Brad should have retired before this. Just really bad.

@@skipwin9895 Well, luckily for you he killed himself not too long after this.

@@The_Kirk_Lazarus That's just really ignorant.

​@@skipwin9895 I don't know that he should have retired if some people still enjoyed them, but yes his voice was certainly just a shadow of former glory.
