32 years strong

Boston's first album was released in August 1976
Must be lousy as it's only sold close to 20 million copies

Rock on................................................ ..................

Happy Bday Boston and RIP Brad Delp. Third Stage made a big impression on me back in 87.

Shame Delph had to go and murder himself or I would have finally had a chance to see them this year.

Those first three albums are monsters IMO.

I have their vinyl on about 90% of the time these days. Stuck on their sound right now.

Definitely a shame about Brad Delp. What a voice. Yet another casualty that might’ve been avoided with the right help.

Though Don’t Look Back and Third Stage are good albums, IMHO Boston never came close to surpassing, or even matching, their debut. It was that good—almost like if the Stones had come out of the gate with Exile on Main Street. Tough to top that act. :D

Happy Birthday Boston! I remember buying the lp as it was on sale for $3.35 at the Navy Exchange instead of their regular $4.25. Shame about Brad Delp, but have you heard the new guy? Kinda sounds like him but looks like Bobby Kimball from Toto.
