Boston - Party Recorded Live: 6/17/1979 - Giants Stadium - East Rutherford, NJ More Boston at Music Vault: Subscribe to Music Vault on UA-cam: goo.gl/DUzpUF
I'm totally convinced that had this lineup had stay together, and made an additional 3, or 4 more albums, Boston would have become a super group and be a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No doubt about it!
Saw them twice in Chicago in 78 and 80. First time was unbelievable, played just like the album. Live was even better. They kicked both times but the first was mind blowing. Brad Delp never missed a note. One of my all time favorite concerts.
Got to see this show when I was 17, went with 2 friends had the shitty seats way up top, The line up was Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Poco, and the Outlaws. It was called the Festival at the Meadowlands. So this is how it went down the day started out cloudy with rain coming down by the end of Pocos set then full on downpour during the Outlaws. Took a break while setting up Boston by the time they hit the stage and opened with R&R Band and the Sun came out, best part was lots of people left which aloud us to move to Great seats. I have been to hundreds of shows in my life and this one I will remember forever. I thank whoever has this footage of one of the most Iconic Rock bands ever ( still not in R&R hall.. Bullshit), you all should show your children what musical talent is right here.
I was at that show! As someone else posted, it was Boston, Poco, Todd Rundgren and the Outlaws. Can't believe it was almost 45 years ago! Wish there was footage of the other acts and a sweep view of the whole stadium. As I recall there were huge video monitors at each end of the stadium projecting the show. Pretty techie for 1979!
MachineryMan71 Yep, that's the "Mighty Mouse" guitar. He also has a goldtop with two dimarzio super distortions (cream) that he ocassionally plays. That one's from the Don't Look Back tour.

Delp- one of the best!
WOW!!!!!!!! THAT'S ALL....
Brad CUSSES!? Never thought I'd hear that! Also, I've never seen Tom with that white LP before. I wonder if he still has it.
Ash 517. Yeah, plus that guitar has a whammy bar too. Didn't know Les Pauls had them
MachineryMan71 Some do, though they're very uncommon. Either way, still cool to see!
Ash 517 Yeah, the only guitar I have seen tom play recently was that one 1968 les paul with that cartoon character on it
MachineryMan71 Yep, that's the "Mighty Mouse" guitar. He also has a goldtop with two dimarzio super distortions (cream) that he ocassionally plays. That one's from the Don't Look Back tour.
Ash 517 Yeah that's the guitar! The Tom Scholz gibson collectors choice guitar is like 5000 dollars I think
In a place where they can never play the music to loud!
If you got something for me,
I've got something for you!
Why did Brad struggle so much on the live performances? He sounds amazing but he struggles so much in the live shows
This was a bad live performance
