Boston Vocalist

[Steve Shauger]

In the 70's this band really had an influence on me musically. Unfortunately Brad Delp passed away today. He was the signature voice of Boston, who was known for his soaring vocal capability. I had met him once and found him a very humble guy, who was a true gentleman.

[JChlupsa]

Strange, my co-worker was playing one of their tapes today at work and it was good to hear the old music again.

[Eddie M.]

sure did like their music even got to see them in concert it was great from what I can remember anyway.
I still do listen to their music today.

Lynn called and told me http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

We saw Boston in Phx 2 years ago...5th row. Awesome show.

He will be missed...and oh my, what a vocal range! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Hardly a day goes by that I don't hear something by 'Boston'. One of the all-time Great Bands. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Xplantdad]

I saw Boston when they first came out...Lynn and I saw the Third Stage tour...the Corporate America tour and then the last time they were here in PHX.

From Foreplay/Longtime..."You'll forget about me after I've been gone"

Hmmm...I don't think so http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

[PeteLeathersac]

That really sucks!.
Their music is still in a lot of us from that era...sure reminds me of high school, girls, booze and more...the van craze?!.
I saw them live once too...man that was over thirty years ago!!!.

Thanks Brad!

[Dave Rifkin]

I never saw Boston in concert but, I did get to see the other band that some of the members created after Boston. That band, RTZ, had a similar sound and had some decont songs.
I still enjoy listening to Boston and RTZ; that music just brings back some great memories and, in my opinion, sounds as good today as it did way back when.
Brad Delp never seemed to get the recognition he deserved as one of the greatest rock and roll singers of our time; he will be missed. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[Steve Shauger]

Brad worked on a few other projects such as, Barry Goudreau first solo album, Orien Hunter, RTZ and his last was titled Delp and Goudreau.

In my opinion he was not the most famous, but his vocal capability is unmatched. He could be both a hard edged rocker or an amazingly sensitive ballad singer. We lost one of the really great rockers...

[Xplantdad]

I agree Steve...I had forgot about RTZ (Return to Zero). I even have one of their CD's. Time to pop it into the CD player on the way to work. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[mmcporter]

I like what the band's website said--they took the whole website down and replaced it with:

"We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

Class act.

[x Baldwin Motion]

I was afraid to get the "geezer" tag but I guess it's Ok to admit I had that first Boston release on 8track. I think I went through two of them before I switched to cassette. "Smokin'" was the theme of my 65 Impala SS vert. It was Smokin', we were Smokin'... well, you get the picure thirty years ago.

[47Hammer]

I had a chance to see Boston at the Long Beach arena back in '76 when they opened for the Outlaws. After that I had the 8 track in my car forever, their music will tag a time in my life that when I hear it I get goose bumps and the hair stands up on the back of my neck. I was 19 living in Southern California, with a job a nasty street car and the love of my life. ... oh, and of course I was Mr. indestructible. My how things do change. Bruce , can you find that tune Hitchhiker or is it Hitch'n a ride?

Bart, Ive got all the Boston songs on digital, send me your email address.

Hey, I was at that concert at the Long Beach Arena that night! I was 18. If I remember correctly, one of the guys had bright gold tennis shoes on stage. Hard to remember, you know.

[47Hammer]

The only thing that really sticks out in my head is one of the girls sitting next to us had way too much to drink and barfed all over the guy in front of her. Also the Outlaws had what seemed like 6 or 7 guys on guitar, but I loved the way the voices of Boston matched the high pitch of the guitar. The sound was incredible and I'll never forget it.

[GTO_DON]

Steve , Im definetly getting old now!! I remember listening to the album when it was first played on WIOQ in philly. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif

[Enoch]

WOW, I saw it on the news last night...They were and alwys will be my all time favorite band. I saw them well over a dozen times. I flew to Texas in 87 for the Texas Jam it was thier first show in almost 10 years. I have been to thousands of concerts and thiers is the only one I was kicked out of for throwing a bannor I made on stage (Hey give me a brake I was only 18 at the time).I thought I was the only one to have all the "spin-offs" Orion the hunter, RTZ and the Barry G stuff. He always appeared to be a very humble guy for the talent that he had.
I think it's time to pop in "Walk-ON"
He will be missed.

[Xplantdad]

Bart...no problem.

Listening to Boston just puts me "in that place". I can listen to their songs over and over...It's timeless music.

As a side note...when we went to see them here in PHX 2 years ago...there was an equal amount of all age groups...people in their late 50's all the way down to 8 and 9 year olds...and they ALL knew ALL of the songs...it was cool as a parent to watch it. Holly would have had a great time...we were planning on taking her the next time http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Man, how I can relate to that. Every time I hear Boston, it takes me back to a very special time in my life...brings back some very bittersweet memories.

I've been purposely avoiding listening to any Boston since Brad passed away, just couldn't bring myself to do it. Clicked on the "Hitch A Ride" link, got through maybe 10 seconds...not a good idea just yet. Still trying to swallow that lump in my throat.

Thank God for news talk radio lol.

[YenkoYS-199Stinger]

I saw Boston for the 1st time in 1977 in Houston when I was 9 years old with my brother. My 1st concert and I was hooked. I have seen Boston over twenty times since then and the shows only got better. My ex, from when I lived in south Florida grew up in Danvers, Mass. (Tom's home town) and her older brother went to school with Tom. Every time we went to Boston to see her family we would drive by the house he grew up in and walk around the old high school. Her brother later made a few calls, and I got to meet Brad, Tom and the rest of the guy's in Vegas about 5 years ago. What a bunch of guys. My most memoriable show was in Biloxi 3 years ago. At Beau Rivage they have a 1000 seat area that is like sitting in a toilet bowl. No band can bring in all of their sound system and the sound was 1977 all over again. I was looking forward to this years show. Thanks for the memories BOSTON.

Also, If anyone would like, I have a copy of their original DEMO tape that has been put on CD. I would not mind ripping a few if a few of you guys would like one. Just PM me.

I have a copy of a demo with 11 tracks. Smokin, Rock and Roll Band, Peace of Mind, etc. Several titles were changed between the demo and pressing the 1st album. It is pretty cool.

I just heard this morning that one of the band members gave the real meaning of the band's name. Contrary to popular belief it's an acronym for something his Grandmother once told him; "Remember Every Moment".

Pretty good advice.

Sad news indeed. The debut Boston album was the first I ever bought - I was in 5th grade.

If you're a huge Boston fan and you have not yet heard Barry Goodreau's solo debut with Brad Delp on vocals, you HAVE to listen to the song "Dreams." Its like discovering the lost track from Boston's first album http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

Turns out it was suicide... unreal that anyone would ever want to take their own life .

Creative minds usually operate on different frequencies than those we consider 'normal'. We'll probably never know what he was dealing with. Sad, if it's true. Hope he's found peace.

Here is a link to the Boston Herald today discussing the details of Brad's untimely death.Very sad. Yes, we did just loose the nicest guy in rock and roll.

I have a copy of a demo with 11 tracks. Smokin, Rock and Roll Band, Peace of Mind, etc. Several titles were changed between the demo and pressing the 1st album. It is pretty cool.
