I know the original singer, Brad Delp, will always be remembered for his awesome voice, but Tommy sure does about as good a job as is humanly possible to front this band in Brad's absence. Excellent job!
RevJRJJr all these bands that have a new singer journey,Boston,foreigner but yet no new music with the new singer that I have heard that is worthwhile.
@@johantrenier1685 as an ex pro musician....he's getting paid, and I was a keyboard player professionally, it's about the whole act on stage. without a singer you have an instrumental band, without the instruments, you have just vocals. Both together form your band.
Boston was one of the very 1st bands I was introduced to rock . I listened to the Beatles & all but Boston was different. Tom is a GENIUS! Thank you for keeping the BOSTON flame burning .
@@markmcmillan9255 WE started buy & building Rock & Roll Tour Coaches back in the 80's !! Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Ozzy, shit almost all the top tear Rock Bands !!!!
Just think of all the GREAT bands & music that came out in that era. Boston,ELO,Kansas,just to mention the few STYX ,all great & talented musicians & visionaries ! We will never hear music like that again !
My wife and I saw Boson at the LA Forum in 1986 or 1987 I cannot remember, but I can tell you that my ears are still ringing to date lol. They are hands down the most incredible band, and the crystal clear loudest I have ever seen.
I saw them in Virginia 79-80ish? Yes, my tinnitus today is probably attributable to Boston and, around the same time, Molly Hatchet. They were the loudest I'd ever heard. My ears literally rang for 3-4 days after MH. As a teen, that was bound to do some damage. Most of the blame probably lies with me though for the countless hours listening to Boston, MH and all the greats from that era turned up to 11.
It would of been 1987 Mark, they had a three night stand at the Forum starting on Saturday July 18th and then Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, so if you can remember the day of the week you've got it figured out. This was during their 3rd Stage tour which a year and a half later landed in Calgary, December of '88 and I was fortunate enough to see them as well and it was outstanding!
I really did not into Boston back in the day when they were around together originally but they sure a lot of great songs I got into.I really enjoy listening to Boston.I am 51yrs old now and when I was a kid back in the late 70's and early 80's I was listening to Q95 Indianapolis Indiana radio station they played a lot of great rock back in those days now it's all classic rock music which is fine with me.Just beings back memories of the rock'n'roll I used to listen to.I still listen to classic rock but get into much heavier music now.
Okay, grew up in the 70's. Wore the album out playing so much. They sound better now then they did back then..I'm still getting on with this song, holy shit!!?
Tom Scholtz is not only a great musician but above all he's a magnificent composer. His compositions always sound completely balanced from the first note until the last.
I can remember this album coming out while I just about to graduate the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate A school. I'd just bought a new Kenwood stereo system with a laser guided and balanced record player and quadrapnonic amplifier and 4 speakers plus this album abd Chicago's Chicago 1970 album, Robin Trower and Yellow Brick Road by Elton John at the base commissary store cheap no taxes took it up to my room in the round stilt building barracks and got it hooked up then immediately played this one first full crank volume on a Saturday afternoon. 6 songs in my room was packed with fellow students beer and booze being passed around. Most if us hadn't heard it yet it other than the 45 song they'd started playing on the radio. The OOD came down abd just asked who it was. Of course we'd hidden the beer and booze so after I told him who it was he just told us to turn it down a bit then left. That night we all took off to a club outside of Elizabeth City Nirth Carolina called the Dolphin Club and sure enough the house band was cranking out this album. It was the only Coastie friendly club in that podunk red neck town in '76. The entire interior and fittings including the bar and stoold were made outta pallet wood they got broke up so much during fights on country music nights. Us rockers were to stoned to get fights going. Ever since then it's been one of my personal top favorite albums. Ya just gotta max the volume when it comes on the radio or any other source. Ooh, up until that time it was the only album that every song on it went top 10 on billboard the album's first month of release.
My family and I were sitting dead center on the tier, 6th row, seats 511-514, just above the orchestra seating. This was a Kick A** concert! Everyone sounded absolutely great! Tommy couldn't have been any better, and the drummer is a beast! I think that we were all hoarse after this one, especially our two boys, their first real concert.
Even bands with the original singers don’t sound exactly like the did when I listened on my turntable over FOURTY YEARS AGO! Geez, Boston sounds just as fabulous as they did when I heard them live in the late 70s. No need to compare this to that. Time moves on. Great music lives forever. I didn’t know the name of the lead singer, but I see now that his name is Tommy. And the young woman on keyboards along with the rest of the band sound did a great show there, it seems everyone was having a great time! Good on y’all!!
I grew up in the 70s - 80s just outside of Boston, MA. I'm truly blessed to have been a rock - n - roll fan during the WBCN, WAAF era with so many incredible rock bands.
Best concert I ever went to. And I went to Elton John world tour and led zeppelin world tour. And journey. Boston rocked just like those albums unbelievable
I never understood why this world class music was never given the importance that it deserves. I am referring as having their concerts properly video taped professionally. This is my first time hearing Boston live. It sounds awesome. Thanks for the upload and kudos for video tapping it. :)
Back in about 1980, I had an awesome music teacher in the 7th grade. She was an older lady but loved modern music. She taught us about Bohemian Rhapsody! Anyways, I remember her saying that Tom Scholz never wanted the concerts recorded because there was no way to capture the true sound of what they were playing.
I had the opportunity to follow Tom and Boston for 3 stops on this tour in the southern states specifically Arkansas and Oklahoma. It was awesome to listen and watch Tom work. What perfection! A live performance by Boston is so close to the albums. There is almost no difference. I would watch Tom's expressions, it is very easy to see every note, every lick, every beat is so personal like a proud father watching his child playing at the park. His music puts me where I want to be at the beginning of a day and always has. Thanks Tom for your music and memories of the performances such as in the 90s. Your rendition of Phantom of the Opera, BLEW ME AWAY! Wow! BOSTON will always be the sound, feeling, and emotion that takes me away on a ride albeit the memories or the new adventurers.
I sat on a priming machine outside Tillsonburg, plucking leaves all summer the year this album came out. We couldn't change the station on the machine's radio once we were started for the day. This song, and pretty much the whole record, was on heavy rotation on the local AM station and thank God for that! it blew us away and also spared us a lot of ABBA.
Uhhhhh.... I live an hour away from the BJCC. How did I miss this? I saw Boston at the Gorge at George, Washington back in the mid 90's. No opening band, they played for two hours. Tom Scholz was playing Phantom of the Opera on this big pipe organ of a thing with this long green and black cape on and the sun setting over the Columbia River Gorge behind him. Absolutely the best concert ever!
@@scottsdale4899 Tom said it himself, he never made music to please others, he made what he thought sounded good. If you don’t like it you can fuck off, because millions of others think you’re completely wrong.
I was scrolling Boston tribute bands and ran across this video. Tommy De Carlo is amazing! when you close your eyes you swear you're hearing Brad Delp!
@@geraldillo works for me! Tommy’s vocal is eerie in its similarity to Brad’s and has saved Boston from not sounding at least similar to what it did with Brad singing!!
@@SirManfly absobloodylutely, Tommy struggled at first but I am sorry but for me he has resurrected Boston, long live Tommy DeCarlos, awesome work mate :)
In the beginning we would sit in my dads customized van on the great highway beach in San Francisco smoking Hawaiian bud drinking Schlitz malt liquor ( The Bull) and rocking the eight track Bostons first Album.
I heard Brad in Puerto Rico the first time they went to the island and he could not sing the high notes. There was another singer singing those parts. So lets cheer this amazing guy who is paying tribute to Brad wonderfully.
Yeah Man, ...I had a restored '73 RS/Z-28 to drive, I had money, I had the Prettiest Girl in town by my side, and I had a Boston tape in the radio playing this song and life was good. I was happy. She was happy. I was 20 years old. ...It was a long time ago...
I had a chance to see them in concert at SUU (Southern Utah University in 2004. The day of the concert, Tom injured his back and they had to cancel the show. This video reminds me of how amazing Boston truly is! Best debut album ever!
How cool is this...? I feel out of touch not knowing about this story with their new singer ..and his story. Happy for Tommy and the band..and always loved Boston ♡
Props to the commenters here for all the well-deserved praise for Tommy Decarlo. I get so tired of reading and hearing people bad-mouth him for not being Brad. We loved Brad, but face the facts. He was aging and couldn't hang with the highs. No disrespect. Age creeps up on all of us. Sad for what he did and I'm glad I got to see Boston in 2015. 39 year old dream. The show must go on...
Definately, early days he was a bit lacking, but wow, man, he is the real deal right now, kudos to Tommy, he's picked it up and run with it. Brad Delp was always going to be a tough act to follow but then so was Bon Scott! The past can never be the past again, lets make the most and respect what these guys can do for us, this is real and rocking!!
I saw the Original members of Boston in 1987. Great show. But as a Vocalist (Tenor) like Brad. I noticed they tuned to drop D. I understand the lead Vocalist has the hardest job in the band. But after practicing Brads voice in Standard E. I was let down with them playing in drop D. But Brad & Tom still lifted my spirits. So sad he took his life. But as we get older. We can’t do what we did when we were younger.
Wow just came across this... August 20, 1978 Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium...my first concert, Sammy Hagar was the opening act! Boy time really do fly by...
I know the original singer, Brad Delp, will always be remembered for his awesome voice, but Tommy sure does about as good a job as is humanly possible to front this band in Brad's absence. Excellent job!
First time i heard Tommy sing this I was blown away. He deserves credit because he is that good.
I agree!
@@JWCFB Amazing vocalist !!! :O
RevJRJJr all these bands that have a new singer journey,Boston,foreigner but yet no new music with the new singer that I have heard that is worthwhile.
I have good memories knowing Brad and Barry Goudreau, which was his x brother in law. Many of good time spent at his house in Atkinson,NH🛸
Thank you Tom Scholz for keeping Boston alive & well :)
Fuck Tom, he sued Barry & Sib for playing Boston in Barry's band ,what a dick
Tom is such a bad ass. Influenced my b3 organ playing very heavily.
I hope he is paying the lead singer. Sholz lead-ins are fine. But it's about the singer.
Pioneer of Rock !!
@@johantrenier1685 as an ex pro musician....he's getting paid, and I was a keyboard player professionally, it's about the whole act on stage. without a singer you have an instrumental band, without the instruments, you have just vocals. Both together form your band.
The best rock and roll band this universe has ever known. There is no other!
LOL.
There was a band called the Beatles, they were pretty good!
The Beatles were squat. Three maybe four cuts were decent. I’m Rock. My opinion.
Awesome that Tom has managed to re create the Boston sound in a live situation considering how produced the first album was. Bravo!
I remember seeing Boston live in concert
1976 .......... Wene rock roll was at its highest levels .... 70s were the best too live in ...
Rock on 🎼🎸🎸🎸
You got that right. Saw them in '79 I think. The fact we're still listening to this music almost 50 years later tells you how good it is.
Absolutely , Was Born in 57 , Growing up in 60’s and 70’s Greatest Music in History!
Rick Derringer opening ?? Amazing shoe !!!
@@Cranedude666 really big shoe!!
As far as replacements go this guy is top notch!
Eeerie how close Tommie’s voice is to the great Brad Delp. Great job Tommie! Long live Brad! Long live Boston!
Tommy DeCarlo is living the American dream. From Home Depot to rock star. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Damn right!
Boston was one of the very 1st bands I was introduced to rock . I listened to the Beatles & all but Boston was different. Tom is a GENIUS! Thank you for keeping the BOSTON flame burning .

1976. Municipal Auditorium, Nashville Tn., Boston and Fog-Hat, barley could see the stage for the smoke. Absolutely FANTASTIC! Great time to be alive.
YES IT WAS BROTHER!
thanks dear tom, you run ererything, and tanks for good music, i have ollw since 1977, youre very good, classsic music and rock and roll, in one
So funny to see all these old guys rocking out to classic rock like this. Oh wait.... I'm one of them!
Me TOO! ;)
This is one of the greatest songs ever! The heart in every single note. Every single lyric! I never want the song to end when I listen to it
goes for all Boston material! Tom Scholz genius.

Chapel Hill NC at the Dean Dome Sept 1987. One of the best sounding concert I've ever attended.
Just ran up on this. I was at this show. I saw Boston in what, 1977 in Birmingham and this one in 2017. Awesome.

Always amazing Tom thank you for creating Boston and finding guys that could do everything you did in your basement on your own
Saw them in Frankfurt Germany back in the late 70's while I was in the military over there... unreal...
I saw Boston back in 1978, best concert ever. Got to take my high school crush with me on our first date. Great memories..
Tom Scholtz is not only a great musician but above all he's a magnificent composer. His compositions always sound completely balanced from the first note until the last.
Scholz not Scholtz please get it correct
@@alanlatimer1024 Why do you react so offended? Is your last name Scholz?
Keep ROCK"in, BOSTON !! Tom Scholtz is a G-E-N-I-U-S !!
First time I heard Boston I was blown away! I was like 15 years old. Awesome! Still sound great!
Same, it's one of those things you don't forget.
How can he have SO much musical talent and I have absolutely none?
I saw Boston at Bingley Hall, Stafford, England, in 1978, during their heyday.
One of my all time favourites, as good as ever here !
Like a fine wine, Boston has aged to perfection! LOVE you!!! OOOx
This singer does an amazing job on this
And Tom's wife found him at "Lowes" !!

Best concert I ever went to. And I went to Elton John world tour and led zeppelin world tour. And journey. Boston rocked just like those albums unbelievable
I wish I could have seen this show at this venue. I saw Al Stewart there in 1977 on The Year of the Cat tour. It's a great venue with good acoustics.

mid to late 70"s ,Sammy Hagar, and Boston played freedom hall, Louisville Ky. Huge pipe organ rose up from stage

I noticed they tuned to drop D.
I understand the lead Vocalist has the hardest job in the band. But after practicing Brads voice in Standard E. I was let down with them playing in drop D. But Brad & Tom still lifted my spirits. So sad he took his life. But as we get older. We can’t do what we did when we were younger.
Wow just came across this... August 20, 1978 Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium...my first concert, Sammy Hagar was the opening act! Boy time really do fly by...
As I recall, Gary Phil was Sammy Hagar's guitarist. Gary is the current guitarist for Boston.
