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?

WOW, I saw it on the news last night...They were and alwys will be my all time favorite band. I saw them well over a dozen times. I flew to Texas in 87 for the Texas Jam it was thier first show in almost 10 years. I have been to thousands of concerts and thiers is the only one I was kicked out of for throwing a bannor I made on stage (Hey give me a brake I was only 18 at the time).I thought I was the only one to have all the "spin-offs" Orion the hunter, RTZ and the Barry G stuff. He always appeared to be a very humble guy for the talent that he had.
I think it's time to pop in "Walk-ON"
He will be missed.

Bart...no problem.

Listening to Boston just puts me "in that place". I can listen to their songs over and over...It's timeless music.

As a side note...when we went to see them here in PHX 2 years ago...there was an equal amount of all age groups...people in their late 50's all the way down to 8 and 9 year olds...and they ALL knew ALL of the songs...it was cool as a parent to watch it. Holly would have had a great time...we were planning on taking her the next time

When I first heard them I couldn't believe their vocal range and the mind blowing energy in their playing........It's a shame they took SOOOOoo long to come out with the 2nd album--They lost the momentum of the first.........I still have the 8track also---Great Band....

WOW - watching that video of the guitar work was awesome.

You know - all the years as a kid I played air guitar, I
always moved my hands way to far on the neck of my
broom - err. guitar

Man, how I can relate to that. Every time I hear Boston, it takes me back to a very special time in my life...brings back some very bittersweet memories.

I've been purposely avoiding listening to any Boston since Brad passed away, just couldn't bring myself to do it. Clicked on the "Hitch A Ride" link, got through maybe 10 seconds...not a good idea just yet. Still trying to swallow that lump in my throat.

Thank God for news talk radio lol.
