This was my 1st concert,we walked to the stadium from carlstadt. I was 14 yrs. Old. This brings back so many memories. I didn't even know all of the bands at the time but i sure learned who they were quick. Still listening today. This brings back so many memories! My 1st but certainly not my last concert!! Been to close to 100 different shows. Space Ace lives in my town,small world. Remember "God gave rock n roll to us!!"
My God, we were so privileged to grow up in the 70’s, 80’s…. There was no better time to be young! The emotion and nostalgia this evokes is beyond measure. We had no idea this music would go away forever. Thank God for TH-cam.
Im 46 (2023) I heard all of this as a kid and on the radio. One of my fathers favorite bands. As an amateur guitar player with some understanding of music, Boston is fucking awesome! Just reminds me of my father. RIP
I'm probably close to your dad's age. I have kids not much younger than you. I guarantee one thing, if Boston was one of his favorite bands, I would have definitely been one of his buddies! Not gonna list them, but I bet I know what his 10 favorite bands were just based on him being a Boston fan! Sorry for your loss! Rock on! ✌️🤘
RIP to your dads. That's a tough pill to swallow. My husband and I loved this band. He played their music all the time. We never tired of them. My husband died suddenly of a blood clot. Listening to these guys is a whole different meaning.
Just as fresh today in 2024 as it was the day it was released. Brad's voice was strong ,pure, and unbelievable. Sib was solid. Fran Sheehan's bass was so fluid and lively, but I'll bet his neck was sore after each performance. LOL Shout outs to Tom and Barry whose guitar work combined with Barry and Brad's vocals defined the Boston sound. So many of the beautiful melodic lead guitar parts are Barry at his finest. RIP Brad Delp and Sib Hashian
Thank you for your eloquent statements about each band member and how they all meshed and complimented each other! Your wonderful words nailed it! It makes my neck hurt, though, to watch Fran’s headbanging…..😂❤
My all time favorite band! I remember driving around in my first car, blasting Boston all the time! Such amazing talent, from the writing, to the arrangements, to the performances. Boston has a truly unique sound. The guitars, keyboards, Sib’s unbelievable drumming, Brad’s OMG vocals and his multiple harmonies on the albums are insane. Got to see Brad’s last performance before he died, I literally could not stay in my seat - it was amazing. I met Sib at an autism fundraising event and got to chat with him a bit. He was so friendly and kind. My heart goes out to their families. Thank you, Boston, for being such a huge part of the soundtrack of my life! ❤
Me too-a real talent. He suffered from depression and was haunted by it for most of his life. RIP Brad Delp and sing with all of the angels in heaven now and forever.🙏🩷☮️
@@whataboutrob442 he had a similar reply to someone else on another video. He's a troll. And you're right, I have nothing to gain from lying about this. Especially since I wasn't trying to convince anyone. I don't care if anyone believes me or not. 😄
Me too! I would hope to think that I would have appreciated it much more than I did, experienced less anxiety, stress and depression and not so much teen angst over boys!

@@5150JAMBorn in '64 in a great neighborhood of Philadelphia. Big bands stopped in Philly quite often. That is a hell of a list of bands you saw. Floyd and Zeppelin. My God David Gilmour is my guitar hero. I'm not too old for that am I. ? Lol
@@le_th_I completely understand. It's almost ghostly for me. This cassette played on and on. Start to finish and back again until the tape got slower because of the batteries loosing power. My youth was fantastic.
Unbelievable... but today is the 45th anniversary of this awesome concert. I rewatched it with great pleasure. One of my favorite American bands! From Russia with love!!! ❤
Yes, he is loved and missed by so many of us diehard Boston fans and I’m sure by his close family and friends. Love you, Brad Delp, and hope you are still rocking it in heaven.
During the 90s, I was especially into 60s/70s rock music. The Doors, the Beatles, early Pink Floyd , Boston, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dire Straits, and my favourite band of all time: Blue Öyster Cult. My dad took me to see Boston in 1997; we had third row seats. Both Brad Delp and Fran Cosmo were on vocals. They each sung songs from their respective albums. Brad sang the classics, with Fran as backup, and Fran sang stuff from *Walk On*. It was a DEADLY show. One of the best. My dad and I went on to see loads more bands together. Jethro Tull, Van Halen, Billy Squier, Roger Waters… He’s only 20 years my senior, and with me being the musical antiquarian that I am, we never argued over what to listen to on the car cassette deck. I went through a period in my early teens during which I listened to heavier music than was to his taste, but we had no difficulty finding a compromise. I will always cherish those memories.
Lucky too, Oakland Coluseum, 1987. I was 6 months pregnant, when they stopped after each song, my son would kick it up and when they played again. Yep, both my kids r rockers.
I was at this show ! Giants Stadium 1979 ! The Outlaws and Poco were also on the bill ! But we never saw the opening bands due to our loyalty to Boston so we tailgated!! Lol Fresh out of school and Kicking Off Summer!! 😎❤️🔥Great Bands , Memories to last a lifetime!! Rock On 🤘🏼 😎❤️🔥
Not only did he have the best voice but, that smile, omg best smile in the world. He literally just enjoyed making music, he didn’t give a shit about fame. He loved what he did. Rest easy Brad, you are missed.
@Rick H Brad Delp was her “best friend,” someone she could turn to after a bad date, a breakup, or just a tough day. And for nearly 2½ years, Meg Sullivan also lived with the famed singer for the band Boston, staying in a spare bedroom at his house on Academy Avenue in Atkinson, N.H. By all accounts, the arrangement was platonic; Pamela Sullivan, Meg’s older sister, was Delp’s fiancee. But the relationship between Delp and the Sullivan sisters took a dark turn on the morning of Feb. 28, 2007. That’s when Meg Sullivan discovered a hidden camera that Delp had placed in her bedroom. She confronted Delp and fled to her boyfriend’s place, marking the start of a personal crisis that appears to have dominated the last nine days of Delp’s life. On March 9, Pamela Sullivan found Delp, 55, dead in his bathroom. The deeply depressed singer had killed himself by lighting two charcoal grills and letting the carbon monoxide overtake him. These previously unreported revelations regarding Delp’s relationship with Meg Sullivan have become a central piece of the now two-year-old defamation lawsuit filed by Boston founder Tom Scholz against the Boston Herald. Following Delp’s death, Herald stories, quoting an interview with Delp’s former wife, Micki Delp, and material from unnamed sources, seemed to suggest that Scholz was to blame for Delp’s suicide. A week after his 2007 suicide, the Herald’s Inside Track writers Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa quoted Micki Delp in a piece with the headline, “Pal’s snub made Delp do it: Boston rocker’s ex-wife speaks.’’ They wrote about the conflicts between Scholz and past band members and stated that Micki Delp said her former husband was “upset over the lingering bad feelings from the ugly breakup of the band Boston over 20 years ago’’ and “driven to despair’’ by recent changes in the group. It was, the Herald reported, “the last straw in a dysfunctional professional life that ultimately led to the frontman’s suicide, Delp’s ex-wife said.’’ For the lawsuit, Herald attorneys point to voluminous testimony from former Boston members, other local musicians, Delp’s doctor, and Delp’s friends, including Meg Sullivan, many of whom say the singer didn’t like Scholz, desperately wanted to quit the band, and felt tormented by his role as middle man in an ugly conflict between Boston’s founder and former band members. All of this was summarized in a 140-page statement filed by the Herald in April. Scholz’s attorneys argue that the guitarist didn’t cause Delp’s depression and that the singer’s personal problems - deepened by his fiancee’s affair in the summer of 2006 and the discovery of the hidden camera in her younger sister’s bedroom - led to his suicide. Meg Sullivan, who now lives in California, did not respond to requests for an interview, but her taped depositions in the lawsuit, along with e-mails to and from Delp filed as evidence, shed new light on the tragic story of Delp and the complicated history of Boston, a band that soared to fame in the 1970s before becoming consumed by decades of conflict.
just, wow. What a band. And back then, you could afford to see live rock, no auto tune, no click, just 100% the real deal. The live sound is out of this world.
Barry is a phenomenal guitar player as well. He plays with Tom well and it is hard to tell who is playing what without looking very close. Very underrated
@@billmurphy9921 Barry had his SG bridge pickup swapped with a Dimarzio Super distortion which pretty much was exactly like Tom’s. He actually hits Tom’s tone pretty close all things considered. And I’m sure Tom helped him out and lent him some gear to make it so. He’s always one to replicate the sound of the albums live. Listen the Barry’s solo song Dreams with Brad Delp singing and playing rhythm guitar, literally has that full on Boston sound.
Agreed. He still looked like that 17 years later. I remember how blown away I was that they set up a full pipe organ onstage with them when I saw them in ‘97. It was enormous and explosive.
Walked away deaf! Best concert ever! You just had be there to understand how massive, great and incredibly loud it was. Don't Look Back? I can't help it, it was one of the best days of my life...
Danny Last - I envy you for that.... you are right... amazing concert, amazing band, pure rock & roll... school for the other bands about to come in the 80's
Danny Last - I envy you for that.... you are right... amazing concert, amazing band, pure rock & roll... school for the other bands about to come in the 80's
Boston, hands down, had some of the best riffs ever!! And Brad's voice, MY GOD, NO ONE will ever have a voice like that again! We miss you, Brad!! RIP!
There will never be another band like this that brings summertime Rock n Roll to our anticipation of long winter to an end, good time original rock and roll BOSTON!
On this tour at least in Fort Worth TX in May in front of 18,000 folks they sounded HORRIBLE and nothing like the records. Sammy Hagar opened and BLEW them away......Interesting note is that their current guitarist (Gary Pihl) played that night...........in Sammy's band. Met them both a day earlier at Sound Town Records in Ridgmar Mall where I worked. Both cool easy going guys.....
I remember this when I was in high school I bought your first two albums Tom, you're a genius to invent that Rockman I can't believe how cool that is it was what it was time stand still!
@@robertfrederick4714Indeed. A modern day miracle. Who knew this even existed? With all it's fault's, I got to see these heros of Rock. Rulers of FM radio for several years.
I love the imperfections! The vocal strain on some of the highs. Harmonies that are slightly off at times. There's color to the music. It's not stale with tracks and effects. It's real fking rock n roll! 🤘
Back in the he seventies Vancouver was still a bit of a ba CC kwater,but most of the tours startéd here andall the big acts played here at one time or another.$10 got you in the he Door. If you were broke you just waited for the right moment when the crowd rushed the door and run for it. Festival seating meant that you could be hugging the stage if you out were fast enough and forceful enough.pI saw everybody that was anybody as far as rock n roll back then. I think tickets were about $10. Those were the days
The way it used to be. Live and sometimes not perfect but rock and roll. RIP Brad and Sib, thanks for the memories. Music was awesome in the late 70s. Glad I was along for the ride.
Those high studio vocals sound real difficult to replicate on. I'm impressed with how they are doing it live.... Truly a debut album that came out swinging
It's a brilliant time to be alive when you can see a concert online that you were too young to attend as a child. Sitting here...tears streaming down my face...so very grateful to be alive during this time in history...and thinking how very lucky we all are to be able to see this today. Thank you @Boston on MV for posting this
I saw Boston at the old Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida either 77 or 78. I did not think they were playing live because they sounded like their studio albums. It was the purest concert I ever attended. How they achieved their studio sound live was in incredible. Note for note. I will never forget it.
@dk237 Were you one of the persons after a concert helping to push my 69 GTO to jump start it because I left my lights on? I'm not saying weed was involved. Lol
My God are they tight. And let's be honest - Boston's material is not easy to recreate live. I'd forgotten how good these guys were together. I sure do miss it.
If you do a YT search, you see just how many people have tried to copy the drumming. I tried as a teen and could only get close, but not exact. Then again, I only had a 5 piece set.
Right on there...their stuff is hard to do. If you can work out the music nobody can sing it in record key. In 30+ years of playing live music I remember covering one Boston song: Amanda...that’s it
No backing tracks. Live vocals and instruments. For 1979 this was incredible. How Tom Scholz and his genius was able to create the electronics to create the guitar sound he heard in his head was amazing. Def Leppard went on to use his Rockman to record the Hysteria album.
Tom Scholz is an artist who has the unique ability to create something that is so groundbreaking and iconic and at the same time he is a fan of music who can’t contain the joy from within when he gets to play.
RIP Brad and Sib. They will never be forgotten. Every single member of this band was the backbone of the band. They were solid; you can't remove a single one of them and still have Boston.
@@liquidbraino It's funny some will make the 'legal' argument that Boston is Tom. The rest were hired guns and therefore irrelevant. I find that thinking so odd. You can't force chemistry in music between players. The chemistry between this line up and their own unique strengths DEFINED the Boston sound. To call them hired guns, is just offensive. It neuters just how important each member was to that sound. Tom's been chasing it ever since never to be replicated.
Sitting at home on a Sat night watching this time capsule. So glad it’s enshrined here. It’s imperfectly perfect. The audio isn’t great, the mix isn’t great, but the band still comes through and the energy is through the roof. Tom was the studio genius, but you see the weight that the band was carrying live. Fran was absolutely nuts on bass, and Barry on gtr 2/backing vox, quietly carrying an enormous workload with ease. Recreating these songs with 1979 technology required some real killers on stage. There weren’t any clicks or pro tools tracks behind these guys in this. There’s nowhere for Brad Delp to hide…no auto tune, no computer generated backing tracks, no in ear monitors. He’s deep in a tour singing an impossible catalog of songs night after night. and judging by the gear on stage he probably can’t hear himself very well. Still he kills it, jazz notes and all. What a monster he was on the mic. There’s no soul or humanity in technical perfection, so critics be silenced. This is a snapshot of true rock and roll as it was, of a band working hard to recreate the impossible.
Bravo for your lucid and true diagnostic of the technical difficulties to play live such a monstrous répertoire especially Brad's inhuman challenge....
That was pure joy for me watching that! My favorite album "Boston" and this took me back to 1976 when I was 17. 45+ years later, 2022, I still play their music regularly. (Daily during the nearly 2year lock down in Melbourne Australia!!! Saved me from myself!) Brilliant. ❤️
I was somewhere in that audience! Great show even with rain most of the day! Boston, the Outlaws, Todd Rundgren and Utopia, and Poco! Rainy all day, rain stopped during the Outlaws, the sun came out when Brad sang, as clear as the sun in the summer sky! What perfect timing as if Boston planed it!
I was there too in the upper deck somewhere. 15 at the time. Was a strange mix of bands. The southern rock fans left after the Outlaws, who were excellent in their own right. Maybe they all ran out of weed. Boston was truly awesome. Their sound was tight on point. They rocked the arena. Great memories. Thanks for posting.
I crashed that show and got chased by security down the stairs and jumped down onto the field rite after it stopped raining and slid accross the tarp that was covering the field
From a Much Simpler Time … WOW 🤩 Real - Raw - Refreshing. No big effects No big stage show with all the bells and whistles. Just a group of guys playing their hearts out and it all looks and sounds incredible. There is a special place in my heart for these Boys from Boston ♥️ R.I.P. Brad Truly missed 🙏
We will never see a combination like this again...Tom Scholz talent on guitar, Brad Delp vocals, I saw them in February 1979 here in Houston Texas at the summit. I saw them several times in the next few years, but the 1979 tour was one I will never forget. 😊
I was 18. the 70s and early 80s were the best times for rock N roll. You had to be there. I would give anything just to go back to the 70s for a one night rock concert. I'll never forget the smell inside the coliseum either
Tommy Shaw! Underrated to be sure. Vocal talent. Guitar talent. Brad Delp! Incredible vocal range. Steve Perry. Great range. Freddie! Fantastic vocal range. Stage presence all of them. Can’t pick the best of them but imagine they all collaborated. Such a chorus, would destroy my mind.
Saw them in 1976 Springfield Mass, part of the very first tour , 5 people in a VW Beetle , hit black Ice totaled the car we all got out thumbed the rest of the way to show , was a killer show !
We were there too. Multiple times seeing them over the next decade. We moved to Southern California in 1986 and saw them out there too,at the Forum. Those stairs at the civic center were hazardous when you were stoned.Which we always were.
Such a talented band! Played the first 2 records so much back in the day surprised they didn't ruin. Never gets old. Great songs by great musicians. Thanks for posting this gem!
"Peace of Mind" has such an awesome bass line through it. Just look at Fran Sheehan having a blast during the song... He knows that he is carrying that rhythm of that tune on his back...
Most of their songs still give me the "feels" after more than 40 years - that's the epitome of a great band and great song writing. The chorus of "feeling satisfied" nuff said...
foreplay.... omg.. this band is unbelieveable for that small part, alone... never hear anything in 40 years that even touches this talent. It's just brilliant stuff. Brad's voice is incredible.
I don't know. It sounded like Barry Goudreau's backing vocal was going through some kind of electronic harmonizer. They used a lot of sound enhancing electronics that Tom Scholz designed.
Joe Louis Arena. 1st row, center stage. Third Stage tour. I was 17. Snuck out of my parents house to see that show with a girl down the street. Shortly after, I was in the military. Great memory of my youth!
one of rocks wonders ! just fkn incredible band, so modest, so powerful, so natural !! too bad nothing lasts forever, one of the BIGGEST ALBUMS this WORLD will ever fkn SEE AND HEAR!! every song, a big fkn hit!! RIP Brad, we lov u!!

This was about 200 concerts into this tour...its amazing he could hit any notes....his voice here still gives me the chills. Amazing voice and an even better man.
one of the greatest bands of all time no one will ever come close to having a voice like brads rest in peace brad I hope your making music and singing to all of the angels in heaven. however it seems that brad was always happy while singing with his band. its sad he is no longer with us on this earth. I guess depression can be hidden.
Yes, he really suffered with depression back then. It makes me sad since they now have so much to use in order to treat it. I believe that he might possibly have had difficulties with drugs and alcohol which can make depression much worse. Rest in peace Brad Delp.🙏☮️❤️
Boston, One of the best American bands ever. The guitars,rockin'. Sib on drums, awesome. And Brad Delp,, The golden voice of Rock & Roll. He sounded as good live and he did in the studio. RIP Brad, there will never ever be a band like Boston again!
I was 11 years old when Third Stage came out in 86, and I spent that entire summer riding my BMX and listening to that tape on my Walkman over and over. I know every word, every note to this day and I'm 46 now. I remember discovering Boston's earlier albums when I was around 13. By the time I turned 16 I was wearing out those tapes riding around in my little 72 Dodge Dart with my high school sweetheart. So many great memories from this band in my lifetime.
I have heard these songs for all these many years and had never seen them played live. Tom is a machine........ Boston is a machine....... As I think back at this time in my life and listen to this music I get tears in my eyes. I never knew it meant this much to me. When you realize it has been 36 years and these songs bring back that much emotion. This was music at its finest.

Lucky too, Oakland Coluseum, 1987. I was 6 months pregnant, when they stopped after each song, my son would kick it up and when they played again. Yep, both my kids r rockers.
Fran is an absolute MONSTER on the bass
Fran blew my mind watching him in this concert! He is a beast! Head banging the entire show! Stunning bass player.
Man, what a performance this concert from him
@@windberpa1220 hell ya! But his neck makes mine hurt must have a hell of a chiropractic bill😘
He seems to come from the John Entwistle school of "why play one note when I can play 3?", but with a fatter, mellower tone. I really dig his playing.
100% agreed!
I was at this show ! Giants Stadium 1979 ! The Outlaws and Poco were also on the bill ! But we never saw the opening bands due to our loyalty to Boston so we tailgated!! Lol Fresh out of school and Kicking Off Summer!! 😎❤️🔥Great Bands , Memories to last a lifetime!! Rock On 🤘🏼 😎❤️🔥
Man, hats off to whoever posted this gem. One of the best bands ever.
Thanks a lot!
Not only did he have the best voice but, that smile, omg best smile in the world. He literally just enjoyed making music, he didn’t give a shit about fame. He loved what he did. Rest easy Brad, you are missed.
Yep...
Amazing voice
AMEN!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏
do you know why he killed himself ? what a trip !!!
@Rick H
Brad Delp was her “best friend,” someone she could turn to after a bad date, a breakup, or just a tough day. And for nearly 2½ years, Meg Sullivan also lived with the famed singer for the band Boston, staying in a spare bedroom at his house on Academy Avenue in Atkinson, N.H. By all accounts, the arrangement was platonic; Pamela Sullivan, Meg’s older sister, was Delp’s fiancee.
But the relationship between Delp and the Sullivan sisters took a dark turn on the morning of Feb. 28, 2007. That’s when Meg Sullivan discovered a hidden camera that Delp had placed in her bedroom. She confronted Delp and fled to her boyfriend’s place, marking the start of a personal crisis that appears to have dominated the last nine days of Delp’s life.
On March 9, Pamela Sullivan found Delp, 55, dead in his bathroom. The deeply depressed singer had killed himself by lighting two charcoal grills and letting the carbon monoxide overtake him.
These previously unreported revelations regarding Delp’s relationship with Meg Sullivan have become a central piece of the now two-year-old defamation lawsuit filed by Boston founder Tom Scholz against the Boston Herald.
Following Delp’s death, Herald stories, quoting an interview with Delp’s former wife, Micki Delp, and material from unnamed sources, seemed to suggest that Scholz was to blame for Delp’s suicide. A week after his 2007 suicide, the Herald’s Inside Track writers Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa quoted Micki Delp in a piece with the headline, “Pal’s snub made Delp do it: Boston rocker’s ex-wife speaks.’’ They wrote about the conflicts between Scholz and past band members and stated that Micki Delp said her former husband was “upset over the lingering bad feelings from the ugly breakup of the band Boston over 20 years ago’’ and “driven to despair’’ by recent changes in the group. It was, the Herald reported, “the last straw in a dysfunctional professional life that ultimately led to the frontman’s suicide, Delp’s ex-wife said.’’
For the lawsuit, Herald attorneys point to voluminous testimony from former Boston members, other local musicians, Delp’s doctor, and Delp’s friends, including Meg Sullivan, many of whom say the singer didn’t like Scholz, desperately wanted to quit the band, and felt tormented by his role as middle man in an ugly conflict between Boston’s founder and former band members. All of this was summarized in a 140-page statement filed by the Herald in April.
Scholz’s attorneys argue that the guitarist didn’t cause Delp’s depression and that the singer’s personal problems - deepened by his fiancee’s affair in the summer of 2006 and the discovery of the hidden camera in her younger sister’s bedroom - led to his suicide.
Meg Sullivan, who now lives in California, did not respond to requests for an interview, but her taped depositions in the lawsuit, along with e-mails to and from Delp filed as evidence, shed new light on the tragic story of Delp and the complicated history of Boston, a band that soared to fame in the 1970s before becoming consumed by decades of conflict.
No autotune. No tricks. The beauty of the human voice.
I bought this and a RUsh album one day and It was my introduction into Rock.
Great introduction.
Both bands kick ass.
Brad Delp.... simply one of THE greatest ever. Fran Sheehan? Ever seen a bassist so consumed by 1/8th notes? Genius.
No idea what 8th notes are, but the man is clearly possessed by the spirit of rock and roll.
Sheehan/Hashian….an unbelievable rhythm section
just, wow. What a band. And back then, you could afford to see live rock, no auto tune, no click, just 100% the real deal. The live sound is out of this world.
Barry is a phenomenal guitar player as well. He plays with Tom well and it is hard to tell who is playing what without looking very close. Very underrated
Except that a GibsonSG and Tom’s Les Paul are different tones. 😉
@@billmurphy9921 Barry had his SG bridge pickup swapped with a Dimarzio Super distortion which pretty much was exactly like Tom’s. He actually hits Tom’s tone pretty close all things considered. And I’m sure Tom helped him out and lent him some gear to make it so. He’s always one to replicate the sound of the albums live. Listen the Barry’s solo song Dreams with Brad Delp singing and playing rhythm guitar, literally has that full on Boston sound.
Barry is more accomplished.
The original Boston band line up was the best! Amazing vocals and guitar harmonies. RIP Brad and Sib. ❤
Tom just always looks like he’s having such a good time!
He can’t stop smiling!! It’s infectious!!!! He is having the time of his life hearing and playing his favorite type of music!!!
Agreed. He still looked like that 17 years later. I remember how blown away I was that they set up a full pipe organ onstage with them when I saw them in ‘97. It was enormous and explosive.
Simply put, one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Rest in peace Brad.
Walked away deaf! Best concert ever! You just had be there to understand how massive, great and incredibly loud it was. Don't Look Back? I can't help it, it was one of the best days of my life...
You are so lucky friend
Danny Last hahahaha awesome brother....
Danny Last - I envy you for that.... you are right... amazing concert, amazing band, pure rock & roll... school for the other bands about to come in the 80's
Danny Last - I envy you for that.... you are right... amazing concert, amazing band, pure rock & roll... school for the other bands about to come in the 80's
What other bands where there
Boston, hands down, had some of the best riffs ever!! And Brad's voice, MY GOD, NO ONE will ever have a voice like that again! We miss you, Brad!! RIP!
There will never be another band like this that brings summertime Rock n Roll to our anticipation of long winter to an end, good time original rock and roll BOSTON!
For Boston to get this close live to their studio sound is mind boggling. This bands’ chops were out of this world.
On this tour at least in Fort Worth TX in May in front of 18,000 folks they sounded HORRIBLE and nothing like the records. Sammy Hagar opened and BLEW them away......Interesting note is that their current guitarist (Gary Pihl) played that night...........in Sammy's band. Met them both a day earlier at Sound Town Records in Ridgmar Mall where I worked. Both cool easy going guys.....
Everytime i watch this video, i think the same thing.
I'd say even better! The small changes and embellishments Brad make sounds even more natural and better
Saw them live in San Diego they were perfect.
See this is a negative in my ears. Just put the album on, then.
I remember this when I was in high school I bought your first two albums Tom, you're a genius to invent that Rockman I can't believe how cool that is it was what it was time stand still!
Boston's debut is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
💯
52 years and I finally get to see the original Boston play live. Thank you for posting!
Agreed
@@robertfrederick4714Indeed. A modern day miracle. Who knew this even existed? With all it's fault's, I got to see these heros of Rock. Rulers of FM radio for several years.
I love the imperfections! The vocal strain on some of the highs. Harmonies that are slightly off at times. There's color to the music. It's not stale with tracks and effects. It's real fking rock n roll! 🤘
Back in the he seventies Vancouver was still a bit of a ba CC kwater,but most of the tours startéd here andall the big acts played here at one time or another.$10 got you in the he Door. If you were broke you just waited for the right moment when the crowd rushed the door and run for it. Festival seating meant that you could be hugging the stage if you out were fast enough and forceful enough.pI saw everybody that was anybody as far as rock n roll back then. I think tickets were about $10. Those were the days
The way it used to be. Live and sometimes not perfect but rock and roll. RIP Brad and Sib, thanks for the memories. Music was awesome in the late 70s. Glad I was along for the ride.
Those high studio vocals sound real difficult to replicate on. I'm impressed with how they are doing it live.... Truly a debut album that came out swinging
Very pure rock and roll...
Autotune is a disaster for music. Musical paint by number. Give me a great natural human voice flaws and all.
God bless the one that put this out or send it to me 🎸🎼👍🌏Aman to that beautiful days of the power of music 🌏🌕🌚
It's a brilliant time to be alive when you can see a concert online that you were too young to attend as a child.
Sitting here...tears streaming down my face...so very grateful to be alive during this time in history...and thinking how very lucky we all are to be able to see this today.
Thank you @Boston on MV for posting this
Exactly!!!
So agree with your statement!!
I was 17 in 79. Best thing about Boston was they were a band both guys and girls liked. Made for a great couples concert experience.
People throwing frisbees onto the stage...how fucking 70's is THAT?????loveit
What a tight band; Fran Sheehan’s bass lines always amazed me! Love how Tom Scholz is always smiling from ear to ear while performing.
And those harmonies! ...
Yeah Fran's way underrated..
Fran always brought the energy
Brad Delp is underrated. He had an incredible voice with amazing range.
Such a tragic ending for some one so talented RIP Brad.
M
Man Sheehan is such an incredible bass player...
@@JW-iy5yb well said Jack
Oh, I do believe enough people had their pulse quickened at Boston concerts that his estimation has been properly gagued.
I saw Boston at the old Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida either 77 or 78. I did not think they were playing live because they sounded like their studio albums. It was the purest concert I ever attended. How they achieved their studio sound live was in incredible. Note for note. I will never forget it.
Boston at the Hollywood Sportatorium < Possibly the best titled gig I ever heard of.
What an amazing memory! One of the moments that make life worth living.
As opposed to the NEW Sportatorium?
I went to many concerts at the sportatorium in the 80s. Good times!
@dk237 Were you one of the persons after a concert helping to push my 69 GTO to jump start it because I left my lights on? I'm not saying weed was involved. Lol
I saw this band six times, and got more than my moneys worth every time.....great great band.
My God are they tight. And let's be honest - Boston's material is not easy to recreate live. I'd forgotten how good these guys were together. I sure do miss it.
If you do a YT search, you see just how many people have tried to copy the drumming. I tried as a teen and could only get close, but not exact. Then again, I only had a 5 piece set.
Right on there...their stuff is hard to do. If you can work out the music nobody can sing it in record key. In 30+ years of playing live music I remember covering one Boston song: Amanda...that’s it
darrelict1 you got that right. No prerecorded backing tracks or sequencers to boost the sound, just talent and loud amplifiers!
Rick R they could have had an Eventide Harmonizer, if so this would have been a very earlier use of it live
@@rickr2029 look again and you might see that Sib the drummer sang the high harmony. After sib left Tom invented a harmonizer to use on Brads vocals
No backing tracks. Live vocals and instruments. For 1979 this was incredible. How Tom Scholz and his genius was able to create the electronics to create the guitar sound he heard in his head was amazing. Def Leppard went on to use his Rockman to record the Hysteria album.
I had a rock man in the 80’s, I wish I kept it.
Tom Scholz is an artist who has the unique ability to create something that is so groundbreaking and iconic and at the same time he is a fan of music who can’t contain the joy from within when he gets to play.
Si!!!! Amo su sonrisa y el movimiento de su cabello me mata!!!
We definatley had the best Rock bands in the 70's/early 80's
There were some good ones. The corporate monster hadn't completely taken over yet.
Damn straight!
Who is "we"?
"Definitely"
@@martintaper7997 "We" would be the generation that came of age during those times. Not that hard to figure that one out.
I was glued to the screen on this one. The BOSTON OF OLD days of golden yore. ....feeling satisfied with that awesome guitar tone. Lord God Jesus!!
Tom Scholz is a genius and Brad Delp had a phenomenal voice. Love this band.
This is how live music should be done! So awesome
From one engineer (61) to another...thank you Tom for the magic!!!!!
This is Boston: Tom, Brad, Barry, Fran, and Sib. Period.
RIP Brad and Sib. They will never be forgotten. Every single member of this band was the backbone of the band. They were solid; you can't remove a single one of them and still have Boston.
The one and only legendary line up......
@@liquidbraino It's funny some will make the 'legal' argument that Boston is Tom. The rest were hired guns and therefore irrelevant. I find that thinking so odd. You can't force chemistry in music between players. The chemistry between this line up and their own unique strengths DEFINED the Boston sound. To call them hired guns, is just offensive. It neuters just how important each member was to that sound. Tom's been chasing it ever since never to be replicated.
Let’s not forget Jim Masdea was also the mastermind behind the drums
Jim Masdea
Sitting at home on a Sat night watching this time capsule. So glad it’s enshrined here.
It’s imperfectly perfect. The audio isn’t great, the mix isn’t great, but the band still comes through and the energy is through the roof. Tom was the studio genius, but you see the weight that the band was carrying live. Fran was absolutely nuts on bass, and Barry on gtr 2/backing vox, quietly carrying an enormous workload with ease. Recreating these songs with 1979 technology required some real killers on stage. There weren’t any clicks or pro tools tracks behind these guys in this.
There’s nowhere for Brad Delp to hide…no auto tune, no computer generated backing tracks, no in ear monitors. He’s deep in a tour singing an impossible catalog of songs night after night. and judging by the gear on stage he probably can’t hear himself very well. Still he kills it, jazz notes and all. What a monster he was on the mic.
There’s no soul or humanity in technical perfection, so critics be silenced. This is a snapshot of true rock and roll as it was, of a band working hard to recreate the impossible.
Awesome
Great take.
Poetry
Bravo for your lucid and true diagnostic of the technical difficulties to play live such a monstrous répertoire especially Brad's inhuman challenge....
Perfectly said, modern day musicians have no idea of the raw god given talent here on display and in no way could ever compare
That was pure joy for me watching that! My favorite album "Boston" and this took me back to 1976 when I was 17. 45+ years later, 2022, I still play their music regularly. (Daily during the nearly 2year lock down in Melbourne Australia!!! Saved me from myself!) Brilliant. ❤️
I was somewhere in that audience! Great show even with rain most of the day! Boston, the Outlaws, Todd Rundgren and Utopia, and Poco! Rainy all day, rain stopped during the Outlaws, the sun came out when Brad sang, as clear as the sun in the summer sky! What perfect timing as if Boston planed it!
I was there too in the upper deck somewhere. 15 at the time. Was a strange mix of bands. The southern rock fans left after the Outlaws, who were excellent in their own right. Maybe they all ran out of weed. Boston was truly awesome. Their sound was tight on point. They rocked the arena.
Great memories. Thanks for posting.
I crashed that show and got chased by security down the stairs and jumped down onto the field rite after it stopped raining and slid accross the tarp that was covering the field
Got in for free
I'd stay in rain all day for a show like this....
Todd Rundgren/Utopia were amazing live. Great concert.
From a Much Simpler Time …
WOW 🤩
Real - Raw - Refreshing.
No big effects
No big stage show with all the bells and whistles.
Just a group of guys playing their hearts out and it all looks and sounds incredible.
There is a special place in my heart for these Boys from Boston ♥️
R.I.P. Brad
Truly missed 🙏
We will never see a combination like this again...Tom Scholz talent on guitar, Brad Delp vocals, I saw them in February 1979 here in Houston Texas at the summit. I saw them several times in the next few years, but the 1979 tour was one I will never forget. 😊
I was 18. the 70s and early 80s were the best times for rock N roll. You had to be there. I would give anything just to go back to the 70s for a one night rock concert. I'll never forget the smell inside the coliseum either
I hear you brother
I was just telling a young person what a crazy smell came from a 70-80' rock concert. Especially the Grateful Dead...
Good times!!
yes they were!
Sweat, pot and sex
JawTooth the Train Guy? I'm with you. Back to the 70's for a night with friends and the drums telling your heart what to do.
Brad Delp .... what a voice... sadly missed...
RIP
Delp sounds really good at this concert. The instrumentation was excellent as expected.
What a great band. That first album was a monster.
Such a under rated band. Timeless rock and roll here
Brad, Tommy Shaw, and Steve Perry really defined most of my childhood. Thanks for posting this. Really brings back memories.
No Freddie?
Tommy Shaw! Underrated to be sure. Vocal talent. Guitar talent. Brad Delp! Incredible vocal range. Steve Perry. Great range. Freddie! Fantastic vocal range. Stage presence all of them. Can’t pick the best of them but imagine they all collaborated. Such a chorus, would destroy my mind.
Saw them in 1976 Springfield Mass, part of the very first tour , 5 people in a VW Beetle , hit black Ice totaled the car we all got out thumbed the rest of the way to show , was a killer show !
NHguitar57 at the Civic Center ? My first show there was NRBQ
Love that story!!!! So nostalgic!!!!
You had your priority's straight i would have done the same........ I saw them in '77 '78 '79 '87 FANTASTIC !!!
Cool stories. Good times - Good times.
We were there too. Multiple times seeing them over the next decade. We moved to Southern California in 1986 and saw them out there too,at the Forum. Those stairs at the civic center were hazardous when you were stoned.Which we always were.
That bass player is amazing!!!!
That's passion. You can't fake that type of energy - it's not drugs, money or anything else. He's just into it.
Proto head banging!
Yeah, amazing, he's a giant metronome!!
Ya but when he joined Van Halen he showcased his backup vocals too
@@SaintsCheat That is NOT Michael Anthony who played bass in van halen!
Such a talented band! Played the first 2 records so much back in the day surprised they didn't ruin. Never gets old. Great songs by great musicians. Thanks for posting this gem!
I’m totally good with being older, seeing as how I was actually able to experience bands like Boston performing live! :)
Amen to that. And don't forget arthritis and the other one... er.... Alzheimers! that's it!!
I am jealous.
Absolutely, we had the greatest talent to rock out to, no auto tune no voice overs
Riding around in our 60’s and 70’s suped up hot rods jamming this out was heaven
Amen to that...the greatest era of Rock N Roll...👍
I was so lucky to see them live back in 1978....Brad Delp was off the charts!
I saw them that same year too. I was in 8th grade, my first concert ever. It was magical.
That incredible voice! Wow! Thank God I grew up with this music!
'Something About You' is one of the greatest songs ever written... everyone can find meaning in it.
While I would have only been 4 yo at this show, I really needed to be there. Boston is eternal!
The guitar effects that Tom created are wayyyyyyyyy ahead of their time. Would have loved to to have seen Tom and EVH get together 🎸🎸
Yeah what is it, a pitch shifter?
@@georgelanders4271 it's a custom effect that Tom made. He only made two of them, and that particular effect was never offered to the public.
@@curtiseverett1671 awesome, thanks bro
OMG!!! That would have been the band of the 30th century!!!😆😆😆
Can't blame him for not selling that effect but if he ever decides to he's quad rich I'll tell you 😂😂😂😂
THIS IS SO DOPE. SORRY, CAPS ARE REQUIRED. Whoever put this up, I salute you. Ppl deserve to hear this
"Peace of Mind" has such an awesome bass line through it. Just look at Fran Sheehan having a blast during the song... He knows that he is carrying that rhythm of that tune on his back...
I remember rocking out on my 8 track Pioneer Super Tuner to Boston….LOUD. Great memories!
What an era for some great rock n roll. Thank you Lord for letting me be brought up in the 70's.
Me too
Me too got the album for Christmas as a kid wore it out on my mickey mouse record player
Yes;. Thank You God!!!!
Most of their songs still give me the "feels" after more than 40 years - that's the epitome of a great band and great song writing. The chorus of "feeling satisfied" nuff said...
Proof here that Boston had a Degree in Boogie and perform it live- that is talent.
Plus their production values were unreal...
foreplay.... omg.. this band is unbelieveable for that small part, alone... never hear anything in 40 years that even touches this talent. It's just brilliant stuff. Brad's voice is incredible.
Look kids, no dancers, no fancy strobe lights, no harmonizers...just talent
I don't know. It sounded like Barry Goudreau's backing vocal was going through some kind of electronic harmonizer. They used a lot of sound enhancing electronics that Tom Scholz designed.
Possibly an Eventide Harmonizer? I hear it too.
Yup. Brilliant if you ask me.
No Shultz electonics
Steven Salsbury whith that coment u pretty much just took a shit on queen
This band is so underrated, loved them from the get go.!!! So classic and soul !
Not in music circles......
Underrated? By who? lol
Fran Sheehan is the founding father of the HEADBANGERS Hall of Fame! He banged harder before ANY of the 80's shredders!

one of the greatest bands of all time no one will ever come close to having a voice like brads rest in peace brad I hope your making music and singing to all of the angels in heaven. however it seems that brad was always happy while singing with his band. its sad he is no longer with us on this earth. I guess depression can be hidden.
Yes, he really suffered with depression back then. It makes me sad since they now have so much to use in order to treat it. I believe that he might possibly have had difficulties with drugs and alcohol which can make depression much worse. Rest in peace Brad Delp.🙏☮️❤️
Boston, One of the best American bands ever. The guitars,rockin'. Sib on drums, awesome. And Brad Delp,, The golden voice of Rock & Roll. He sounded as good live and he did in the studio. RIP Brad, there will never ever be a band like Boston again!
I was lucky enough to see him in a small venue in Atlanta just a couple years before he passed, never understand why he did it
Can they PLAY ?!!.More than a feelin' to be on hand for musics' Second Renaissance, spanning TWO centuries. YA-HOO !!

I was 11 years old when Third Stage came out in 86, and I spent that entire summer riding my BMX and listening to that tape on my Walkman over and over. I know every word, every note to this day and I'm 46 now. I remember discovering Boston's earlier albums when I was around 13. By the time I turned 16 I was wearing out those tapes riding around in my little 72 Dodge Dart with my high school sweetheart. So many great memories from this band in my lifetime.
I have heard these songs for all these many years and had never seen them played live. Tom is a machine........ Boston is a machine....... As I think back at this time in my life and listen to this music I get tears in my eyes. I never knew it meant this much to me. When you realize it has been 36 years and these songs bring back that much emotion. This was music at its finest.
Johnny - we're kindred spirits. I so feel you on this one.
MarkKiddGuitar - Happy Birthday man. Great way to start the day, for sure.
MarkKiddGuitar 40 years my friend! More Than A Feeling was a big hit in 76!
All studio - they did not do live gigs cause of Tom, this is rare so enjoy.
Johnny Holland greatt
Glad my mom introduced me to them at a young age. I’m 21 years old and I still love these guys. Best sounding in studio and live alike
Tom Scholz.Founder& main song writer, lead guitarist. See that smile. BOSTON still hasn't been inducted into R&R H. of F.
Man, I'm 19. The same thing. Iconic, but very underrated band in our times. More Than A Feeling is one of my favorite rock songs
I absolutely love that. Good on ya mum! Sadly they don't make music like that anymore.
I literally would pass out if I could have been there. All time favorite band. My dad introduced me to them when I was young, im 30 now.
Boston was a all time favorite.
My God were they ever great!!
