Boston Vocalist

[mmcporter]

I like what the band's website said--they took the whole website down and replaced it with:

"We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

Class act.

I was afraid to get the "geezer" tag but I guess it's Ok to admit I had that first Boston release on 8track. I think I went through two of them before I switched to cassette. "Smokin'" was the theme of my 65 Impala SS vert. It was Smokin', we were Smokin'... well, you get the picure thirty years ago.

I had a chance to see Boston at the Long Beach arena back in '76 when they opened for the Outlaws. After that I had the 8 track in my car forever, their music will tag a time in my life that when I hear it I get goose bumps and the hair stands up on the back of my neck. I was 19 living in Southern California, with a job a nasty street car and the love of my life. ... oh, and of course I was Mr. indestructible. My how things do change. Bruce , can you find that tune Hitchhiker or is it Hitch'n a ride?

Hey, I was at that concert at the Long Beach Arena that night! I was 18. If I remember correctly, one of the guys had bright gold tennis shoes on stage. Hard to remember, you know.

The only thing that really sticks out in my head is one of the girls sitting next to us had way too much to drink and barfed all over the guy in front of her. Also the Outlaws had what seemed like 6 or 7 guys on guitar, but I loved the way the voices of Boston matched the high pitch of the guitar. The sound was incredible and I'll never forget it.

Don!

I remember hearing Boston's first albumn introduced on WIOQ
late one evening too! I think that "what's new" show used
to air around midnight. This was pretty much the one and
only time I stayed up to listen to new music. Cool
