Yeah that whole story is pretty dark

Delp was singing at the very top of his range in many of these songs. Notes he hit with full voice in the studio he had to break into falsetto to hit in a live performance. Knowing when to do that and doing it as smoothly as Delp did show how in touch with his vocal capabilities he really was. A true professional and a great vocal artist.

I saw Boston in May 1977. I was astonished how they reproduced their sound live. Especially Delp's vocals. He was spot on that night. He seems a bit tired on this video. But still a great job. Singing is hard to be perfect at because its a physical and emotional exercise. And somedays are better than others. To hit those notes like the record you need your A game. When you're touring that's hard to pull off. Yet the show must go on. Anyway Brad's range and tone were not of this world. Wish he was still singing on this planet.

Scholz was not only a musical genius, he was an engineering genius who earned two degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, in Cambridge, Mass. Scholz later became famous for inventing The Rockman. The Rockman was the original battery powered and portable personal guitar amplifier. You simply plugged the tiny Rockman into your electric guitar output jack and then plugged your headphones into The Rockman. This was the first device that let you walk around your apartment while playing your guitar as loud as you want to - without disturbing your next door neighbors. Well done Mr. Scholz and RIP Mr. Delp.

Was working in a record store when this came out. Remember opening the store copy and putting it on. The store owner said : This is the first album I have ever heard where every song is a guaranteed top radio single. And it was. It charted forever and you could not keep it in stock. Just came out of nowhere. Never heard of them before that Tuesday, by the end of the week they were the biggest thing around. Just a perfectly produced album from top to bottom. Made in a guys basement. Before I ever saw them I thought: How in the hell are they going to reproduce those vocals on stage? That range is impossible!

The problem with anyone, even Brad trying to sing this song live, is that he originally sang it in a very relaxed and somewhat soft manner, with multiple overdubbed vocal tracks. Brad definitely had a one of a kind voice, but it was hard to reproduce live because it was very complex and relied on involved multiple backing vocals needed to create the sound the album produced.

One of the regrets of my youth was never getting to see Boston live-saw Journey twice (and Steve Perry was every bit incredible live as he was on a studio album)-and thankfully also saw Van Halen on the 1984 tour.

Saw this band live just a few months prior to this show - Iowa City, IA March 18, 1979. At 12 yrs old it positively changed my course of my life.

Brad Delp. One of the greatest voices in rock. A tragic loss. R.I.P.

There is a magic on this track, hardly achieved by many bands before or since. Not only was Boston an exceptional compilation of excellent musicians, but to reproduce that on stage was just STUNNING... Especially when the band goes on the jam afterwards, just magical. My personal favorite part is Fran Sheehan going off on the bass during that jam; a true artist who really loves to jam with his band. And the vocals - its true - are very difficult to reproduce, especially night after night. Never to be seen again.

Finishing my beer!Damn

Love your enthusiasm and the thoroughness of your analysis.

They used to play this at the roller rink and it was one of my favorites. I feel so fortunate to have grown up when I did.

There will never be another voice like Brad Delp.

Sad, but probably true.

I was from New Hampshire and we all loved our great Boston bands. A lot of the members as well as Aerosmith had weekend homes in NH. You would frequently run into all these guys. I

Cherry Snow same here. Brad was living in Atkinson when he died if memory serves me correctly. Godsmack is another band with NH roots.

Thks ! Another great commentary ! Iam glad i was blessed to see so many of the Bands and artists you review 😍 It was all new and mind blowing and fresh at the time- HS Class of 1975 So.Cal

Takes me back to high school. There really was a lot of good music in the 70’s!

R.I.P. Brad Delp and Sib Hashian. Two great musicians who helped shape the Boston sound.

He was SO careful with his music. My lil bro, whom I lost 2 yrs ago, turned me on to Boston years ago. He/I LOVED music. There’s not a day he doesn’t cross my mind. He’s in the wind that blows across my face, he’s in a great song I listen to, he’s in my most happy memories of my dad/identical twin I’ve lost. He’s with them for me and I love him for that. ☺️ Lodie

One of my all time favourite tracks and bands just wonderful

I bought this album. I was a huge fan, I LOVE THEIR music still.

If Tom Schultz name were in the dictionary the description beside his name would most likely read "Musical Genious" From engineering the sounds to playing all the instrument parts and recording, to finding one of the greatest voices ever recorded in Brad Delp who, it could be said, put the perfect voice over "More Than A Feeling". Brad was living in Atkinson, New Hampshire when he passed away. I drove past his house when I heard of his passing and felt such sorrow. Not only did he have a great voice, but he was such a personable person that spoke to everyone wearing that warm smile. I often think if I had known he was so lonely, I may have stopped by and friended him. He lived only a short way from me. RIP Brad. And now Sib is gone also. Hopefully they are playing music up there. Thanks for this video. Amazing

Boston a beloved Band from the 70s ❤🌟👌

Still wending my way through your back catalog of videos and enjoying every single one. Just showed this one to my husband, who actually attended this concert when he was a kid! Thanks for the memories, Fil!

I am impressed by your knowledge of the classic rock bands and members I'm 53 and your intelligence is very refreshing keep going my man.

I love to see your smile when GREAT artists make you want to cry with their art :o) You Rock!!!!!! This was one of the first albums I ever owned.

Loved the guys. RIP Brad Delp 😢

guysmalley I know from my own experiences lately. It just blows me away how these people with such remarkable and notable talents as with Brad Delp, Chris Cornell, even with the 27 club and their giving their lives to something they know can and will kill someone. I know addictions but speak only to the talented intelligent parts of these people as well. I’m able to keep my head with my wilder thoughts 💭 but some with larger talents cannot. It’s abysmal.

Amen.

I saw Boston in NOLA at the Sanger theater. I bought my ticket on the first row over to the left of the band on purpose. It put me only a few feet away from Kimberley Dahme. A concert to remember for sure.

I saw Boston live at Solomon Island, MD. about 5 years ago. The BEST rock concert I have ever been to, since the 1970’s! Sounded just like their recordings.
