Boston: Don't Look Back

Brad Delp, 1951-2007: What a voice.

...And what an indelible, tremendous voice it was. Listen to the sweet clarity and mellow crispness (on the first album) with which he nails those inhuman high notes and carries those melodies on Boston: It's unquestionable that the number of people capable of replicating that can probably be counted on a hand, two at most. Keep in mind: Yeah, Tom Scholz, the brainiac behind the band, was a master DIY production whiz. But this was 1976. The Age of Analog, not pitch-perfection computer sorcery.

Thanks for the save, histnerd, Delp's legacy certainly deserves it.

Wow that was so good! - excellent post - and a great save HistNerd. What an amazing concert that must have been.

Brad Delp had kind of a Gallagher thing going on.

More cowbell!

BTW... it sounds too perfect to be live, but I still loved it.

This isn't a live version of the song. it's the studio version with a live audience dubbed in. I have listened to the studio version of this song at least 500 times or more and this is that version. You can't get it this perfect live, even if you are Boston.

*blocked

This video has been flagged as having an embed that is Region Blocked to not function in certain geographical locations - declared blocked by cricket.
