It was a night of overcoming handicaps.
The big question about Boston’s summer tour is how the FM favorites would get by without late vocalist Brad Delp. And while there’s certainly no replacing him, it seems the current lineup is doing just fine.
It's been a difficult couple of years for Boston. Since the death of lead singer Brad Delp the band has suffered through band turmoil about who would officially carry on the band's name and songs, and now Tom Scholz is bringing the current formation to the Comcast Center for a homecoming show this Saturday night in hopes that the classic songs themselves can be agents of healing.
Stryper frontman and accomplished solo artist Michael Sweet is touring with the legendary band BOSTON this summer on a headlining tour of North America. Sweet is sharing lead vocals and playing guitar, performing the band's classic hits like "More than a Feeling," Peace of Mind, Amanda and Don't Look Back. Boston has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, including the band's 1976 self-titled debut which has sold more than 17 million copies to date, and was the highest selling debut of all time.
Tommy DeCarlo has traded in his orange Home Depot apron for the flashy duds of a rock star. Sunday night the former credit manager for a North Carolina outlet of the home-improvement chain will take the stage at the Comcast Center for his first local appearance as the official co-lead vocalist of the classic-rock band Boston. (He and former Stryper singer Michael Sweet appeared in the Hub with the band last year at a tribute to the late Brad Delp, former Boston frontman.)
In the wake of last year s ebony porn suicide of Brad Delp, beloved singer and co-founder of the band Boston, things looked bleak for the storied group, whose 1976 self-titled album remains rock s best-selling debut ever with more than 17 million copies sold.
