I'm bumming hard:( When I was a kid in the 70's, I joined my very first band because of that song. We even played it live in our 8th grade talent show, lol. I played their first 2 records over and over again, pretty much drove my family insane too, lol. Those guys and Kiss are pretty much the main reason I ever got into the music biz in the first place.
Boston was my very first rock concert I ever saw,,,March 24th, 1979 at the University of Dayton Arena...Sammy Hagar opened up for them, was amazing. It was on their "Don't Look Back" tour, and they were fantastic. Both Delp and Scholz were Beatles fans, and it showed in their music, they took the best of what the Beatles had, and made it their own. In fact, I daresay, Boston was "the Beatles" of my generation. And Tom Scholz was the Les Paul of the same generation. I can still close my eyes, and drift away, and I'm right there in my seat in the nosebleed section, lol.
IMO, Delp was one of the greatest singers in the biz...and I can't help but note that, those guys weren't a bu.ch of out control rocks tars,,,if they were, they had a good PR agent who kept that stuff out of the spotlight, haha. And their music was always positive, was always a message of hope, etc, as corny as it may sound. Several of their songs got me through many troubled teen-aged times, and a few adult times as well. Yeah, that band in Heaven just got more kick ass. here's to ya, Brad:) *raising my beer in salute*

As I stated in another post, I believe Brad's last concert was last Saturday in my hometown here in NH. He led a band called Beatlejuice that did Beatles covers about as good as anyone. In fact I believe they were actually endorsed by Paul and Ringo.
