Boston Vocalist

[47Hammer]

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

I saw Boston for the 1st time in 1977 in Houston when I was 9 years old with my brother. My 1st concert and I was hooked. I have seen Boston over twenty times since then and the shows only got better. My ex, from when I lived in south Florida grew up in Danvers, Mass. (Tom's home town) and her older brother went to school with Tom. Every time we went to Boston to see her family we would drive by the house he grew up in and walk around the old high school. Her brother later made a few calls, and I got to meet Brad, Tom and the rest of the guy's in Vegas about 5 years ago. What a bunch of guys. My most memoriable show was in Biloxi 3 years ago. At Beau Rivage they have a 1000 seat area that is like sitting in a toilet bowl. No band can bring in all of their sound system and the sound was 1977 all over again. I was looking forward to this years show. Thanks for the memories BOSTON.

Also, If anyone would like, I have a copy of their original DEMO tape that has been put on CD. I would not mind ripping a few if a few of you guys would like one. Just PM me.
