Is it me or am I the only one who still gets cold chills during the build up when one of the guitars plays on the high strings monotone like while the other guitar and bass play the build up riff on the deeper chords and the drums are driving it with solid pace and the words are so inspiring “and the sun is shining, and I’m on that road” so bad ass I get overwhelmed with goosebumps every time I hear that section even after all these years

Tom Scholz was gifted Tommy DeCarlo by God because of all the great and wonderful things he does for the disadvantaged. Time & money..Long live Boston & The Genius that is Tom Scholz.
Let's not gloss over being gifted Gary Pihl, former Sammy Hagar guitarist. If there were ever an underrated guitarist, he's it. I was fortunate to see Sammy and Eddie on stage together the first time at Farm Aid 1985 and Gary was there with Sammy. The dude rocks!
Boston sounds better today than they did in the 70’s. The lead vocalist they have now sounds great, even looks a bit like Brad. Just wish Brad was still here. I always loved their music. I praise Tom Sholtz for his genius and wanting to keep the band going! These guys will rock into and right through infamy!
@@mitchellsumpter4807 what are you talking about? it is hard to judge from a video shot with a cell phone! I have seen this version of Boston @ least half a dozen times as I have the original touring band between 77-79. Tommy DeCarlo is the real deal! not only does hit high notes but he hits the note in (more then a feeling) something our beloved Brad struggled to do from the late 80's on.
I know. I don't understand why you bothered to state the obvious, perhaps you should re-read my original comment which is clearly a compliment to them all.
IT'S LIKE ZEPPLIN WITHOUT PLANT OR QUEEN WITHOUT FREDDY, HE HIT ALL THE NOTES BUT THERE"S JUST SOMETHING MISSING; SHOLZ NEEDS TO INVENT A DELP PEDAL FOR HIS VOICE..... THE KIDS WOULD NEVER KNOW, BUT THOSE WHO SAW AND HEARD THE ORIGINAL BAND KNOW. FRAN SHEEHAN WAS THEIR BADDEST BASS PLAYER EVER...
It’s the damn tambourine!! We need more tambourine!! I got a fever…and the only prescription…is more tambourine. lol the background vocals aren’t as strong either.
Tom Scholz and beautiful blonde female guitarist/backing vocalist are kicking nalgas and telling us to not look back on our failures, but to look forward to correcting our mistakes!!!!!!
Live Boston but the stuff i find on you tube doesn't have that rich clear sound muddled i hope someone has some better sounding downloads in future i also love the band big country there stuff on you tube sounds fantastic
Just the way Tommy got his gig with these guys kinda tells me there was some kind of spiritual intervention involved, Brad from the other side maybe trying to save the band he loved and felt bad for leaving or something else idk? He didn't audition or even think he would even have a shot at such a wonderful experience fronting this band, Tom over heard his wife listening to Tommy doing karaoke of a Boston song and swore it was Brad until she showed him it wasn't. What are the chances of something like that happening? I'm certain without knowing that he had the utmost admiration and respect for who and what Brad Delp was and along with the rest of the Boston fans loves the music, he's not trying to be Brad Delp or replace him but he certainly does a fantastic job of honoring a great man and the music he left behind. I've seen many comments under different videos of these guys in reference to Tommy having "no stage presence" wtf does that even mean??? I personally would rather watch someone being sincere and trying to do a good job than having to be embarrassed watching some narcissistic ass hat convulsing on stage stroking his ego, as a long time Boston fan I personally am grateful they found Tommy and offered him the job and I'm sure there isn't a day he doesn't wake up feeling the same way✌🏼️
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. How many Rockmans do you need. I know how big one can sound, I guess if one is good... twelve must sound like 60 guitars.
+BurningtunaDC , original members? Tom Scholtz and Brad Delp were the only ones ones the CBS record contract, those other guys on the first two album covers were used for touring only! hehe everyone knows this but hey if it makes you feel better, Gary Pihl has been in Boston for the past 32 years
Exactly right. For mostly better and sometimes worse Boston is Tom's baby. I wish he used Brad and Barry more as song writers rather than trying to do everything himself. The stuff they did solo, with Orion the hunter and with RTZ was good. Boston should have made more albums but no one can complain about the first two. They were flawless.
Tom didnt want to pay the existing members what they wanted and deserved thats why tom is worth 100 million and everyone else is broke poor brad barely had anything in the bank when he passed😞😞😞😞
Why is Jeff behind a shield? Aren't they normally used because the drums are too loud, in the studio or a church or something? What's the point in a live show like this?
He's behind the baffles to keep sound out. His kit is totally mic'd and having those baffles allows the sound guy to mix the drums without guitars bleeding into the drum mics. There's other advantages like the drummer not having to compete volume-wise with the rest of the band....he can play without having to beat the drums hard and letting the sound guy do the work.
@@guitarbrian46 Lol . Thanks for clearing that up , i always thought it was so people couldn't throw things at the drummer where he was in a hard place to get out of quickly . ... Now i know the rest of the story ! .... and by the way , i think Tommy DeCarlo is doing a great job as the front guy , sounds much like Brad .
I will sing a Boston song live to anyone that wants to hear it anytime. Just reach out to me and i can connect with you via facebook or setup a live link here. Feel free to bring your friends. I won't charge a dime. I sing in a high register
The magic of the original recording is Bradley Delp doing his own three part harmonies & then being doubled. This is good but not great. It does take four singers to come close. If I was auditioning Bostons new singer? wouldn't be this guy. but this is 8 years ago.
Tommy’s ability to hit the notes is there a good 90% of the time. His stage presence is off about 90% of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’d be better but if he was coached by the right person he could own that crowd. Tom is awesome as always. He is Boston.
I'll give it a like but definitely not as good as the original band, the video of Brad Delp singing don't look back where he's wearing an orange shirt is hands down the best live recording of this song
@@davidstewart4310 oh my god it's annie lennox's ex! Other than Tom Brady being a closet scientologist and Tom Scholz doing one of the biggest end runs of all time on a major label - and Sib Hashian being the Oscar Gamble of classic rock - no, I don't know anything about Boston. Sorry!
@@eshiveley Obviously not. Cause Boston was technically only Tom Scholz and Brad Delp...the other members (even today) are just touring members. Check the credits on the 6 Boston albums dude :-)
You'd think they could dress Tom in something a bit cooler looking than the muscle shirt, goofy shorts, dorky white socks and tennis shoes. Good grief...
…then, go watch like some Keith Urban concert. Tommy reeeeally needs some stage presence PERFORMANCE TRAINING!!! He just aimlessly stumbles around like he’s in a daze or dream, doing really weird and inappropriate things with his hands like seriously WTF??? Just fucking stand one area sing right people!!! Make and hold eye contact smiling and fucking act like you’re reeeally into what you’re singing, passionate about singing TO THE PEOPLE IN RIGHT FRONT OF YOU!!! STOP AIMLESSLY WALKING AROUND!!! Do what Keith Urban does when he’s singing!!! GET SOME TOP PROFESSIONAL LEVEL PERFORMANCE COACHING!!!!!
I love Boston, but being a drummer of 40 years, I know what its like to play behind one of those stupid plexiglass partitions...It sucks! The drummer may as well be in another room! Ugg! Just sayin....I do love this band though!! LOL!
So every time I see one of these comments about "no stage presence" I have to wonder..........what exactly is it you'd like him to or think he should do ??
I just also wanted to add here, I personally would rather see a talented singer being sincere and trying to actually sing as opposed to some narcissistic ass hat convulsing around the stage like a clown stroking his ego, it's about the music, "he gets it" and he's got all the stage presence he needs!
Exactly! No question Brad was great. But just because he decided life wasn;t worth living, doesnt mean he gets to take Boston down with him. The golden rule in show biz is "the show must go on". The sound that Tom Scholz created more than 40 years ago sounds as good as it ever did.
He is soooo annoying to have to watch; I’ve never seen a professional singer behave the way he does while he’s singing. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then, watch
Brad Delp said he never had vocal lessons. What a gift with those crazy high notes. R.I.P. Brad
One of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time hands down
My absolute favorite band. They "were" and still "are" legendary!! Thanks Tom Scholz!
Is it me or am I the only one who still gets cold chills during the build up when one of the guitars plays on the high strings monotone like while the other guitar and bass play the build up riff on the deeper chords and the drums are driving it with solid pace and the words are so inspiring “and the sun is shining, and I’m on that road” so bad ass I get overwhelmed with goosebumps every time I hear that section even after all these years
Dude it’s that moment I share with you-we had the greatest music!
Me too back when it was about all boy band with Brad.
One of the best rock songs ever written!!!
Wow; the harmony vocals are perfect! And the whole band is awesome as usual. Thank you Tom Scholz!
Brad Delp was the best Voice ever, and tom shultz was the best Led guitarist ever, RIP Brad Delp!
My favourite song by BOSTON.
@@gieffeerre5176 it's become equal to " More than a feeling" and tied for favorite with me..
Geez the memories that les paul must give Tom!❤ and me!!!!😊
Love watching this and wishing all those Rockman Stacks were mine!!
This is probably my favorite performance by DeCarlo. Man alive I love this song.

Love that part too. Awesome sound.
I saw them in concert two weeks later on July 22, 2014 in Albuquerque, totally loved the show!!

great performance of one of my favorite bands !
Brilliant Quality!!! Thanks for sharing fella ;-)
Perfect work, brillant live
He'll never be Brad Delp but the guy is doing a great job.
Spot on Kenny.
Can't reach as high as Brad did. You can really hear it when they all sing.
Home Depot answering the Bell !! Probably as close to Brad as we will ever hear, but Tommy Decarlo sings a great job. God Bless him for trying
Big big shoes

I believe that some day I will meet this band in person❤❤❤🤘#Rockistheanswer #Rock4ever
Wet eyes all the time. Remembering my youth in the 70th
Excellent !!
Saw them in Houston about the same. Tom Scholz was wearing the same t-shirt. 😊
Yeah, He sure spends a lot of money on his wardrobe !
state of the art !!!! Tom the Man !!!!
great bass job!!!! he enhance the song!
Wow what a voice.
Scholtz still has it going on!
Fantastic, even with only one original member this band still sounds great. Wish they'd come to Toowoomba, Australia!
FYI...Tom WAS and is the orginal member. Others were added as he could not play all the instruments that he recorded on the albums while in concert.
I know. I don't understand why you bothered to state the obvious, perhaps you should re-read my original comment which is clearly a compliment to them all.
Tommy DeCarlo what a find out of Home Depot! Sounds just like Brad and great pitch even when he hits the high notes.
Foreigner live
Always, ALWAYS check the clearance isle at Home Depot. You never know what you'll find hidden away
I grew up listening to brad, your right it's pretty close. Remember digital and vinyl are different
It's CRAZY how much this Guy sounds like Brad Delp !! Man you gotta be kiddin me !
espectacular brad
40年前の曲。
私はこの曲と、eaglesのホテルカルフォルニアで、ギター🎸に目覚めた❗️😊
extremely good live guitar sounds, and amazing singer.
IT'S LIKE ZEPPLIN WITHOUT PLANT OR QUEEN WITHOUT FREDDY, HE HIT ALL THE NOTES BUT THERE"S JUST SOMETHING MISSING; SHOLZ NEEDS TO INVENT A DELP PEDAL FOR HIS VOICE..... THE KIDS WOULD NEVER KNOW, BUT THOSE WHO SAW AND HEARD THE ORIGINAL BAND KNOW. FRAN SHEEHAN WAS THEIR BADDEST BASS PLAYER EVER...
It’s the damn tambourine!! We need more tambourine!! I got a fever…and the only prescription…is more tambourine. lol the background vocals aren’t as strong either.
I love these ducking guys still the best music

Tommy does a good job for Boston but, he will never "replace" Brad!
Tommy DeCarlo wanted very much to do it and here he is!!!!!
El nuevo vocalista esta bien pero siempre se va a extranar a Brad que descanse en paz.
Tom Scholz the man

Quite true. A lot of singers are all style and no substance. Tommy gives great vocal performance and who cares if he doesn't strut and pout and pose?
How many Rockman's do you need Tom!?
Love the rockman gear but goes very expensive this days
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. How many Rockmans do you need. I know how big one can sound, I guess if one is good... twelve must sound like 60 guitars.
All of them.
What kind of witchcraft is in those cabinets? F**kin love this band✌️❤️🎵🎶
The singer has the range. I wonder why he didn't stick to the original during the break.
Colonel Mustard Because he doesn't have the lung capacity.
The sound quality is outstanding on this. I'm surprised that Tommy's a great replacement vocalist for Brad, too.
An awesome band....
........
Tommy can't sing for shit...
Brad hace tiempo que murio amigo.
What's wrong with Tom's left leg?
Is this really Boston or a cover band playing Boston's material? Tom Scholz is the only original member.

Oh lots of money and even the roadies have roadies! He he
Its free. Tom Sholz owns Rockman electronics.
Yup Tom made all of that stuff behind them. All that blue Rockman gear. Pretty crazy

Dmitrii Kilishek Tom suffered a severe knee injury several years ago. He used to play basketball. Now he wears the brace to keep his knee in line.

Twin Towers of guitar players?! Tom Scholz is 6'5" and Gary Pihl is 6'4"!
