If we only knew the story there. I was a Boston fan from the get go. And I was so anti-70s commercialism at the time. But I was at the record store and happened to just pick up this new record and read the bi on the back cover. This MIT grad invented some boxes and made a record in his basement? WOW. GOOD record! I mean, some of the songs were too commercial for me, but some were very well crafted. I went and saw them a few times. Their second tour for the Boston II album was quite amazing. The sound quality was excellent. Have not heard arena rock sound so good since. You would think in this modern age sound would improve. But no, it actually is worse. Oh, the live version of 'More Than a Feeling' really showed that the band had some chops. It was as if Santana went into a space jam. Sholtz's cut of Rockman sales must be something. How many producers and musicians have used such in their sound? Most everyone. best, DM 712536@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:51:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/29/105739.php#comment-712535 First of all, RIP Brad Delp.

I have not heard a band like this in 30 years.Yes,getting rid of Barry Goudreau was a mistake.He actually worked with Brad Delp many times after leaving the band.However,Tom Scholz is really the lifeblood of BOSTON.30,000,000 albums sold is pretty good when you don't rely on MTV for promotion, like virually every other rock band of the era did. 712473@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:45:07 EDT
