One of my favorite early *rocknroll memories. The album was a smash when it was released in 1976, and all the little white kids in Catholic school thought this was the shit. Of course we also thought Kiss was the shit, so go figure.

Here's the original track for comparison:



Pretty impressive, IMHO.

That guy makes me suck so bad.

Wow, really excellent job. I thought that it would fall apart once the vocals started, but the lead singer was perfect. I can't recall ever seeing such a spot on cover band (and it's only 2 guys + backup vocals!).

Holy frakin' shit! That was beyond awesome! Being a musician myself, and a HUGE fan of Boston, these guys really did them some justice. I am extremely impressed! I'd upvote this 3 times if I could. Bravo guys, bravo!

This was tremendous! I would promote if I had the points. Best Boston cover that I've ever heard - I think they are notoriously hard to cover. Most impressed with vocals.

^ Agreed Dag. Hell I have the points *promote

*triplepromote

*doublepromote that was so polished, and he is a good Brad Delp cover!! I noticed he skipped out on the octave jump at the end but I cant fault him for sure.

My six year old son thought it was awesome, and that the backup vocals in the upper right was coolest, and the "drunk" guy in the lower left looked the worst.

Bravo on this! I would go see a a Boston cover show with these guys, provided they could adequately clone the musician.

boston was... pretty much one dude's effort anyway... he (scholz) himself a multinstrumentalist... only recruited others at the behest of the record company when things started to take off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_(band)

"Despite having problems with manager Paul Ahern, being caught in the middle of a fight between Ahern and McKenzie, and having to wear many different hats with Boston and do most of the recording work alone, Scholz completed the second Boston album two years after the debut album's release. etc etc

In late 1979, Scholz began writing new material, but Boston's former co-manager, Paul Ahern, argued that, according to an agreement Scholz had signed years earlier with Ahern, Ahern owned a percentage of all songs Scholz wrote from that point on. Delayed further by the dispute, Scholz suggested, in the meantime, the individual members should work on whatever other projects they might be considering."

im not going to look, but has this guy made any ORIGINAL material of any caliber? yea, im an asshole about music too.. surprise.

You could always buy some, ya cheap bastard.

If you would like to hear two originals by Jon and his band, called Subject Zero, have a listen at their myspace site.

They've written twenty originals, including these two:
"Lost Inside the Universe" and "Entropy is the Enemy".

^good stuff. Thanks for dropping by.

SZ sounds like they have a wide variety of influences. That's always good. My opinion is biased in that i think music achieved perfection before and by 1979. I forgot to mention that.

Came back for another listen. Still awesome.

Probably worth another *promote.

Corey Haim is fucking awesome in this !

Are we sure that this really isn't Boston?!

Consider myself blown away by the quality of this!

Huh is this some kind of Rock Band Expansion Pack? Why doesn't the guitar have any buttons? That is one neat modded Drum kit though!

It's not exactly *livemusic since it's been recorded and edited together.

Touchy issue... as Lord Of The LiveMusic channel, I have decreed that non-live music can be submitted if it predominantly shows the artists playing and singing. If the rules were too strictly carried out, it would be impossible to post any live Milli Vanilli.

me love your long time!
