Dang. They were a lot more than just another band out of Boston.

R.I.P

really like Boston back in the day .... great road trip music.

There's a thread on this in the geek subforum, but IMO it rates one on the main page. This has deeply bummed me out. Boston is my second favorite band, second only to the Eagles, barely, and this guy and his fantastic vocals have provided a good chunk of the soundtrack of my life.

Again, RIP, Brad.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Definitely. One of the greatest voices rock and roll has ever or will ever enjoy.

Completely agree with that....we are probably around the same age

I saw Boston in Kemper arena in 1979.

The one thing that sticks out from that concert was the band's ability to sound very close to their albums. Awesome show...

Brad was one of the best.....RIP

Sadly, I never saw them in concert. I had tickets to see them with Cheap Trick in '96 (God that would have ROCKED) but Scholtz broke either his arm or hand, and the remainder of the tour was cancelled.

It's not where you can be.
It's what you can see
That takes you there -- your destination

Rest in peace Brad.

I was at that concert as well. I still have the ticket stub, March 12, 1979. Somewhere around here I have some pictures from that concert. If I had a scanner I'd post them here, but alas...

I saw them one other time in Vegas. I had won a trip to compete in a dart tournament out there. A friend of mine was also competing and neither of us advanced to the second round. So we looked to see if there were any shows that night and found that Boston was appearing at the Aladdin for one night. We were able to get tickets and go. I believe that was in 1996.

Awesome show, awesome band...
