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

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...

Smokin' will kill ya.

I just hope he had a good time. There's nothing like living in a rock and roll band. I'm going to learn from this by taking my time.

RIP Brad.
I had the opportunity to spend two days at his house in his studio back in 1987. Not only was he an incredible vocalist, he was also a really nice guy. A complete Beatles fanatic.

Well said. I was lucky enough to get to see the band in concert twice........what a show both times. RIP

Here is another story about it:

ATKINSON, N.H. (AP) - Brad Delp, the lead singer for Boston, a huge rock sensation in the 1970s, was found dead Friday in his home, police said.

He was 55. Atkinson police responded to a call for help at 1:20 p.m. EST and found Delp dead. Police Lt. William Baldwin said in a statement the death was "untimely" and there was no indication of foul play.

Delp apparently was alone at the time of his death, Baldwin said.
The cause of his death remained under investigation by the Atkinson police and the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office. Police said an incident report would not be available until Monday.

Delp sang vocals on Boston's 1976 hits "More than a Feeling" and "Longtime." He also sang on Boston's most recent album, "Corporate America," released in 2002.

He joined the band in the early 1970s after meeting Tom Scholz, an MIT student interested in experimental methods of recording music, the group's official website said. The band enjoyed its greatest success and influence during its first decade.

The band's last appearance was in November 2006 at Boston's Symphony Hall.

On Friday night, the website was taken down and replaced with the statement: "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

A call to the Swampscott, Mass., home of Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau was not immediately returned Friday night.

Haven't listened to Boston in a long time, but they are timeless. A mainstay, one band that I never get sick of hearing.

Boston always reminds me of my best friends older brother that passed away, he was had them cranked in his car.

You know, there was some talk a week or two back on another thread about what it was like to see "Star Wars" when it first came out in 1977 -- how groundbreaking it was, the impact it had on all us kids.

I'd say that the same thing happened when Boston's first album came out in 1976. Didn't everyone have it? I know I did -- it was part of my first shipment from the Columbia House Record and Tape Club. It had to be one of the most popular 8-track tapes of all time (I'd love to see sales figures on those). It was one of those rare albums where EVERY SONG was played heavily and well-known.

That album and that artwork was just everywhere. It was a true sensation.

RIP Brad. Truly one of the great rock vocalists of all time.

I can't listen to "Long Time" or any of the other songs on the first album without being flooded with memories from high school.

I thought Boston was the perfect synthesis of 70s music -- Led Zeppelin's crunching guitars with Yes' vocal harmonies and touches of prog (such as Scholz's organ solo on "Foreplay"). That's one reason they were so big when they hit -- they took the best elements of early-70s rock and made it sound fresh.

It's too bad they essentially pissed it all away. Scholz was a perfectionist, and he wrangled with the label, management and the other members. I was excited when "Third Stage" finally came out, and bought it the first day it was released, but again the band failed to capitalize on its second chance success. I pretty much gave up on them.

The original lineup, though, was really great. Delp was a terrific vocalist, and I always liked Goudreau's guitar work.

Through the years, I've owned that first album on 8-track, LP and CD.
