I think what made his death especially tragic was the fact that after hearing this video, his voice didn't really change all that much since 1976 and now that it's silenced and Brad's no longer with us, it's really tragic. He's probably one of the most underrated vocalists in rock history. RIP Brad.
Brad was a very close friend of mine. A chance meeting in 1988, led to an unlikely friendship of almost 20 years. I adored this man. I was wrecked to the center of my soul when I got the news. I haven't been the same since, but I wouldn't trade one second of that friendship. I'm a better person for having known him. I love you "BEDhead". I'll see you on the other side. ❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔
Such a sad ending to a terrific career. I was born in 60 and I grew up listening to this amazing group with an awesome lead singer but never could afford to see them in person. Rock on in heaven Brad.
WOW, he still sounded absolutely amazing. I know this gets tossed around a lot, that today's music can't touch the older music but it's so TRUE. Back when bands actually played their instruments and had talent and singers actually sang. Makes you appreciate this amazing band even more.
rolling stone said that if Boston could do on stage that they did in the studio then fans are in for a great concert. cobo hall 1976 this band is icon we will always have your voice from the angels brad. never forgotten !
It gets tossed around a lot for no good reason. You’re lying to say that today’s bands and singers don’t actually play and sing, just BS spat by people who want to stick to their nostalgic music and mock the newer generations.
Thank you for this. What a sweet piece of rock history you have shared. This band has been the sound track of my life and the song More Than a Feeling my anthem. Brads voice is timeless, clear, hypnotic, and his kindness was in every note he sang. Again my sincere thanks for posting this. Tears and goosebumps.
"But when we got up on stage, and got ready to play, people came A-LIVE !!" If these lyrics don't embody the spirit of live rock n' roll, I don't know any that do !!! RIP Brad, and LONG LIVE Boston !!!!
Possibly the greatest voice in rock and roll history!!! RIP sir. "More than a feeling" in my opinion is the most iconic rock and roll song ever! Man they sure dont make them like they used to.
Yes, I agree. In my opinion, one of the best the best rock songs ever written. The lyrics are about the power of music, and how a song can help you recall a memory. Music , at it's best, is transcendent. "I closed my eyes and I slipped away" I know that feeling. This tune brings back great memories of girls from my distant past, and that's a good thing.
Thank you so much for posting this video, the quality was better than I expected it to be. I'm only 18, but I have been listening to Boston literally since age 5, even though I never had the chance to see them live. I heard about the tragic news of Brad's passing almost immediately and I was devastated, since he had been sort of an idol for me since my early childhood. Brad, you will be missed, and I hope I see you on the other side one of these days. God bless!
Words cannot convey just how much I miss Brad one of the worlds most remarkable vocalists ever we've never witnessed his like since and never will ................... R.I.P Rock n roll man.
this iconic concert would have been awesome recorded on high quality equipment in its entirety. no one knew what was to come very shortly. thankyou for this sample.
tj you really did a great thing taping this. and to think at the time you had no idea it would be his last performance. thank you so very much for sharing this piece of history with us who love the band boston and brad delp. they'll never be another like him.
Brad Delp was the best...I was blessed to be able to see him sing with Boston on July 8, 1987 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. I will never forget how powerful it was. Hearing Third Stage played in same order as album...priceless.
Such a sad loss. His voice during this performance was incredible. People may complain about the recording quality of this video, but it's sure as hell better than nothing. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for capturing and share this amazing video of Boston. They are also my Favorite Band of ALL TIME! I cried when I heard of Brad's passing. I still listen to their music often and try to see them whenever they are in the NY area. RIP Brad you are missed more than you could ever know. Rock on Boston!
When Brad stepped up to the mic @3:48 my jaw hit the floor. Incredible that after all those years and all those gigs he still nails it. Sounding as great as ever.
I saw them in 1994, I must've been about 8 years old. They were on tour following their Walk On album. I remember it being amazing. I remember Tom's guitar solo, and the ship setpiece descending from the ceiling. And how Tom would switch from the piano to the organ while his guitar was still strapped to him. Brad Delp was an amazing vocalist. I'm almost 30 so not quite as old as you guys who grew up with them, but let me tell you, I deeply respect the band. They have a very unique sound and rich vocal harmonies, memorable songs despite how few albums they made. I'm proud to know of them and love them, and am making sure my kids grow up listening to them and other great bands with originality and talent, rather than just Miley Cyrus and whatever crap they play now. It will never be the same. Thanks for uploading.
3:50 my heart is cracking in half. . I grew up in Danvers 4 years behind Brad and my heart sinks every time I think he's gone. . thanks guys for going to this and posting the video
I am so lucky I was able to see them quite a few times as a teenager, some of the best times of my life! Saw them a couple years ago I was impressed by the by the lead singer he did pretty good ! Thanks again for the memories l
The soundtrack to my life! Thank you Bradley! Saw Boston in Tacoma in ‘87 on the Third Stage tour and 9 days later DROVE to Los Angeles to see them there! Oh yeah…I was living in Yoncalla OR at the time. So 5 hours North then 13 hrs South. I’m a fan! Have a signed Don’t Look Back LP with Bradley’s auto. Man I miss him.
Great performance by Brad, couldn’t help but notice, the music was dragging a little. That makes it a lot harder for a vocalist to sing, when it’s not played the correct speed. He still nailed it, one of the best that’s ever got behind a microphone.
All I can say is growing up in the 70's, the first time you heard Boston it was like you were steamrolled by the future of rock n' roll - an awesome wall of sound! Unlike anything heard before (or since, truthfully). RIP Brad Delp.
boston .A few of their songs are among my all-time favorites.Clean tone,good vocals and a hard driving rithm still make the joy of all those who in our mid 50´s are still hooked on good old rock´n roll.Good music has always been here to stay.
I live in Nashua NH and when BOSTON got back together I was there in Manchester Verison Arena. Great show. Brought back a ton memories as a kid. RIP Brad we still love you man!!
thanks for posting this. lucky to see this show. permanant hero brad ~ and the boston vinyl my parents gave me at age 9 that became integrally incorporated into who i am as a musician : )
hey, we were lucky to get "live" boston, yet alone mr. delps' last gig...i was born in '72...could we ALL ask for this last moment to be our own...as if these tunes are not really IMPOSSIBLE to perfect...his singing was fine. YOU try that! thanks for the footage, i dig the live stuff...and thanks Boston, and Brad Delp...
What shit head would give this a thumbs down? Maybe not the best video quality but it's what it represents. Brad had a beautiful voice and was a true gentle soul and deeply missed. This video deserves only thumbs up out of respect for a great guy and a kind caring man with a contagious smile. The world was a better place with Brad in it! Thanks for this great video!
I did BC it's butchered up highlight reel and does not pay homage to Brad , so F' off . I saw the 1976 show in St.Louis 2nd row Kiel Auditorium as a 14 year old kid . . . . KMA , fucktards just like the author of this highlight reel that Brad couldn't tolerate for the 30 odd years till he took his life over unfaitfllness to his GF
@@joejohnston6306 Where does it say that they are paying homage to Brad?? This is just some footage of their friend's last show, uploaded for us to see, that's all! What the Hell is wrong with you!? You are just a freak'in hater! You must be a real joy to be around!!
Thank you very for sharing this video, it is really generous on your part. The last record my father gave me twenty years ago before passing away was the one that contains "Amanda"... every time that I hear that song I cry remembering my father, but now, I will cry twice missing Brad... Thanks again, and greetings from Chihuahua, Mexico.
Brad you have moved more people than most other bands do. I was introduced to Boston in 1994 only when i was a year old. i loved and always love Boston and i am sad to see you go Brad. RIP brother.
Thank you for filming Boston while at the Concert ,I'm sure it must have been hard to be still during those times of still imaging, lol .You are a gift, THANK YOU !!!
Great tribute TJ! Boston was pretty much my favorite group when they came out. Shoot, they are all I listened to for about two weeks the debut album was so awesome and like nothig else! Wore out about 10 copies of it!
.... from a time when it was all about the Song, and about the craftsmanship of putting that song forward on a live stage. A time when all of that mattered, because it really meant something to people. A time when concerts were cheap but you had to actually buy every single or LP to play it... and the act of just putting vinyl on a turntable was a kind of sacred ritual - you really respected the miracle of music, and what it took to get that bit of electronic magic to your speakers and 'phones.
WHAT!! Brad Delp passed away?! Sad. Very sad. I didn't know that! I saw Boston back during their "Don't Look Back" tour. I was truly privileged to see them at this sell-out show in Las Cruces, New Mexico. WOW!!
Like (almost) everyone else, this hits home with me, and I completely agree that he had one of the greatest voices in rock 'n roll -- I'm constantly amazed that he doesn't rate in the "top" (whatever) lists. When I moved from Florida to Illinois (December '94), I soon had the chance to see them in concert (May '95), so bought two tickets and went on my way, only to GET LOST. Some years later, they were back in IL again, and the same thing happened. By the time I finally saw them, Brad had passed; I loved the concert, the songs, and the energy, but we all know it wasn't quite the same, and why.
I got into classic rock when I was 11 when my parents played Sweet Child O' Mine on the radio. That also got me into guitar! Anyway, I've discovered and loved plenty of classic rock bands throughout my very limited years of listening. Well, I had stumbled upon Boston, and something about them spoke to me like no other band had. I LOVE Boston, and Brad Delp had an amazing voice, and Tom Scholz is great at what he does! I am a bit newer to the world of Boston (only about a year now, as I am 15), and I wasn't a fan while Brad was alive. I got to see them in concert this summer, and I can already tell it's just not the same as it was. Now don't get me wrong! Tommy DeCarlo was amazing, but it would have been so much cooler to see Brad with Delp. I love you man, and you will be greatly missed! RIP to the nicest guy in Rock N' Roll!
Thanks for posting. Boston's a great start. Your musical pallet will develop and grow from here for sure. There's a saying about music, if you find yourself enjoying it too much, there's probably something more going on. In the case of Boston, the term is overdubbing, where a part is recorded and re-recorded and both parts are included on the recording. The music is not recorded in real time, and not in one take. It doesn't mean the music is fake, it means it makes it harder to replicate in a live setting. Boston has gotten better and better at it over the years, but it takes more musicians to pull it off than just your typical four or five-piece band. Brad was a one of a kind for sure, I was fortunate enough to see the band live with him and won't even bother seeing the band without him.
But Tom, Brad and Sib were all doing this, but Tom did all guitars, organs, clavinets, and bass. he said the instrument he couldn't do was drums. I may be mistaken.
+Peep Massacre no you're not, but Tom had a different approach to drums than Sib. He thought the drums should be played slightly out of time so they come through on the recording. That's why he went to drum triggers he could do without a live drummer. Sib actually did earn a drumming credit on Third Stage for 'Cool the Engines'.
I have heard from several people that Brad was a awesome guy he was a great singer he had no ego he was not not into booze and drugs boston was as big as any other band they belong in the rocking roll hall of fame.i idolized Brad since i was a kid and still do at 52 i wish i new he lived not to far from me on the east coast i would have loved to try to meet him.
How could that be possible after this concert and in 4 months he had to leave us,.. I imagine he kept his problem away from us until the last minute because he cares for us. I miss you Brad Delp, I would have shoulder some of those pains you carry so heavy and I can sacrifice too but destiny and fate dictates otherwise and no control over it. Rest In Peace and I will include you in my prayers. Your songs lives forever.
I saw the Corporate America tour here in Orem, Utah as well and got to meet Brad and get his autograph at the McKay Events Center. Brad stuck around and signed anyone who wanted an autograph stuff. Such a nice guy, I'd have never for a second thought he was going to take his own life. He seemed so happy and I know he was preparing to be married and another tour with Boston when he did. Shocking and heartbreaking was the news. He was everyones friend and down to earth. Only other siger I've met like that was Ronnie James Dio. Rock In Peace Brad and Ronnie...
I saw Boston in Park City Utah with Delp a few years back FANTASTIC show. I also notice they are using Brian Wilson's "Smile" for warm up. VERY impressive.
There is no way Boston could have sounded as good without Bard Delp's amazing voice. Tom should give him more credit and thank his lucky star that he was part of it. R.I.P. BRAD
Thanks for posting this, TJ. I recently uploaded a live audio performance and photo of the band "Bagshot Row" I was in with Brad and Fran in 1971. It's here on TH-cam.You can do a search with Delp and Bagshot to find it if you want to check it out. Hope you're still playing. Take care, Your old piano teacher in Saugus, Bill Hynes
really sad that they didn't get to the UK, loved this band for most of my life. Very Sad about Brad, it wasn't reported here only found out today when I went to Wiki to see what they are up to cos I am restoring my record collection with ITunes and got some of their trax. An amazing voice, and such a brilliant mimic of Paul McCartney wow.

I can tell he was a good man. I never met him but I sure as hell do miss him.
Such a sad ending to a terrific career. I was born in 60 and I grew up listening to this amazing group with an awesome lead singer but never could afford to see them in person. Rock on in heaven Brad.
You missed the best! Keep on Weberockin!

It doesn't matter why Brad chose to leave us. He's gone, and there'll never be another truer, more pure voice than his. Brad-------->Miss you!
I lost my band's drummer August. I pray that he is heaven. I hope to see him there, and play again with him.
What voice... We miss you Brad...
Boston forever !

Oh yeah, for sure. Most of the recordings only required about 3 people, so when they're live they have about 6 people on stage playing.
But Tom, Brad and Sib were all doing this, but Tom did all guitars, organs, clavinets, and bass. he said the instrument he couldn't do was drums. I may be mistaken.

Oh, okay. I see what you mean. Tom Really is a good songwriter, but I really don't dig their two most recent albums.
Lost for words...this is MY FAVORITE BAND ever......RIP Brad
While I am not a fan of Boston, but do like a few of their songs, this video is great. Thanks for this
I have heard from several people that Brad was a awesome guy he was a great singer he had no ego he was not not into booze and drugs boston was as big as any other band they belong in the rocking roll hall of fame.i idolized Brad since i was a kid and still do at 52 i wish i new he lived not to far from me on the east coast i would have loved to try to meet him.
How could that be possible after this concert and in 4 months he had to leave us,.. I imagine he kept his problem away from us until the last minute because he cares for us. I miss you Brad Delp, I would have shoulder some of those pains you carry so heavy and I can sacrifice too but destiny and fate dictates otherwise and no control over it. Rest In Peace and I will include you in my prayers. Your songs lives forever.
I saw the Corporate America tour here in Orem, Utah as well and got to meet Brad and get his autograph at the McKay Events Center. Brad stuck around and signed anyone who wanted an autograph stuff. Such a nice guy, I'd have never for a second thought he was going to take his own life. He seemed so happy and I know he was preparing to be married and another tour with Boston when he did. Shocking and heartbreaking was the news. He was everyones friend and down to earth. Only other siger I've met like that was Ronnie James Dio. Rock In Peace Brad and Ronnie...
That...was...
AWESOME !!!!
Thanks, dude :)
Wow what an intimate setting bro! Glad for you that you got to meet him- also feel your sorrow on him dying. Such a great voice.
RIP man...Gosh i cant believe it. He was an Icon man!
I saw Boston in Park City Utah with Delp a few years back FANTASTIC show. I also notice they are using Brian Wilson's "Smile" for warm up. VERY impressive.
Great video thanks for sharing

Unsung Hero ! ... Tragic indeed ! ... One of the best voices of Rock !!!

There is no way Boston could have sounded as good without Bard Delp's amazing voice. Tom should give him more credit and thank his lucky star that he was part of it. R.I.P. BRAD

Thanks for posting this, TJ.
I recently uploaded a live audio performance and photo of the band "Bagshot Row" I was in with Brad and Fran in 1971.
It's here on TH-cam.You can do a search with Delp and Bagshot to find it if you want to check it out.
Hope you're still playing.
Take care,

I still haven't gotten over it...
really sad that they didn't get to the UK, loved this band for most of my life. Very Sad about Brad, it wasn't reported here only found out today when I went to Wiki to see what they are up to cos I am restoring my record collection with ITunes and got some of their trax. An amazing voice, and such a brilliant mimic of Paul McCartney wow.
Awesome footage.
No other band EVER had the unique sound and harmony of this unique incredibly talented banc....BOSTON ... the Beethoven and Motzart of rock!!!
