He's better than Delp was live (Delp was a monster on the albums, but listen to Boston bootlegs... he was always hit or miss live). It seems less is more with Boston. When I saw them in the early 2000s, they had as many as five guitar players, and the sound was very spotty. Last night, it was back to just Tom Scholz and Gary Pihl (for the most part... they have a woman who plays keys/guitar and sings backup), and the mix was so much better. And Tom and Gary tore it up - great guitar playing with the signature Boston tone. I'd recommend this show to anybody.

Isn't the lady Kimberly Dahme? I thought she was bass guitar and sang lead on at least some songs on the "Corporate America" album a while back.

Figured you'd chime in here Ed. You act as if Brad Delp was some legendary irreplaceable live performer. I saw Boston three times with Delp. He was inconsistent AT BEST live. Tommy didn't look anything like Brad the other night (I agree that's weird if and when they were going for that), and he was more consistent than any of the three times I saw Brad. The vocals, harmonies, and signature guitar sound were there, as played and created by the guy who played on and wrote everything -- Scholz. Over the last few years, I've seen more and more bad shows by washed up old acts I once admired. This was one of the better shows I've seen in a couple years. Your loss if you like Boston (i.e., Tom Scholz's) music. Scholz may be a litigious jerk, but this was a quality live show.

For the record best Boston show I ever heard was Delp with Fran Cosmo covering the double tracked vocals. Totally agree about Boston not sounding great live before that but Delp was an incredible singer who was asked to do too much early on live.

I've seen/heard several boots of Boston shows from the first tour through the last tour they did with Delp and he sounded pretty good on most of them. Granted back on their first couple of tours, they did a horrible job of reproducing that studio sound as a live band but Delp was OK for the most part.

My favorite greatest band of all time styx has
3/5ths of their classic line up.

Very true. They are charging $300 this tour for a meet and greet which includes a photo and Q&A session. Was thinking to myself if I got that pic no one would question who those guys are.
