I haven't heard him sing since the last time I watched a Welcome Back Kotter re-run! He seems to have quite a few shows booked. That's too bad about his voice.

I guess the man has bills to pay, but it's painful to hear him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a reunion of all reunions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Delp might have sang the hits, but he didn't write them - Tom Scholz did. He WAS Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point is that Scholtz is the only remaining original member touring today. To Row's point, I grew up on Boston. Loved their stuff since I was 5 years old. But they were a studio band and, to your point, LOTS of overdubs with guitars and vocals. This is why they were not (at that time) a great LIVE band. I remember buying the Third Stage album. So excited they'd finally released new stuff. It was the last Boston album I ever bought. And Brad Delp's death was shocking and sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom has survived and now gets quality time in lawsuits good and bad, there were worse fates i guess I was 10 when the first LP came out, a perfect birthday gift and still one of my top listens.... the rest of the discography... mehhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Only performers from the original still around are Crosby Stills Nash & Young (Crosby said they haven't discussed doing it but would if Young said they will do it) and Santana I believe. http://thewvsr.com/the-woodstock-death-count/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also taken into account every single.person part of a group or band that are alive or dead. Of course not every single person who stepped foot on the stage are dead, but many of the bands are not together or performing most because many band members are gone/dead.

The point was that they could have more than two of the originals. Yes many bands have broke up or not together due to death, but that's to be expected after 50 years. CCR for example they could get john fogerty or CC revisited and that could fill the CCR spot if they wanted to have as close to original line up as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 My shoes are under 2 ft of mud in front of the stage at Yasgur's farm. Was there in 94 for the 25th anniversary, Joe Walsh was tossing me Iron City beers from the stage. He played for hours in the pouring rain and kept saying "this is just like it was". I stood there, feet sunk in the cowshit laughing my ass off and calling out for more beer which he gladly gave. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
