While a great singer in his own right, it just not the same and in my eyes still very karokeesqu.

Brad Delp wasn't very good live for the most part. I have a boot of Boston playing Worcester MA from 87, and it's HORRIBLE, especially vocally. By the second half of Boston's career, they had Fran Cosmo singing all the high notes live. I saw them three times. Each show was enjoyable for the most part, but Delp couldn't come close to producing what he did on record. And it wasn't just a function of age, either, because he wasn't great in his prime either.
To be sure, Delp put some legendary notes on tape and should have his place in rock history for that. But let's not revise history and make him (or Boston itself) out to be some live tour de force. They could never come close to producing live what they produced on studio with all of Scholz's studio wizardry.

I saw them on the "Corporate America" tour and the sound they had going on that tour was as good, if not better, than any I've heard so far. Yeah, so Delp couldn't replicate his studio vocals in a live setting.

Its coming from T.S. or management. its cheap and disrespectful. they pulled AR'S pics which showed how stupid
it is, then locked the topic. T.S. must have bought the fan site as well.

Good that we can be honest here.

They sounded great and were a TON better than Journey the last time I seen them. The only thing I missed a little seeing Boston were the guitar leads. Barry Goudreau's lead parts were some of the best leads I've heard. Scholz and Pihl can hit the notes on Barry's parts but they sound like me trying to play them. Goudreau's work was a step above and it was missed when I seen them. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing sound wise. I'd love to see the 76-79 line up with Tommy and David V singing but it's not likely to happen.
