As if they were crusaders for 1980s arena rock, Boston and Poison cranked out timeless hits on foggy Thursday night at Rock Fest in Cadott, as part of a lineup that gets progressively more modern as the weekend rolls on. Boston headlined the evening from what looked like the cockpit of the interstellar ship on the cover of their debut album, giving fans all the classics from an intriguing stage setup. |

Boston's musical mastermind Tom Scholz figures he might have some sort of artistic defect when it comes to his feelings about his music. "Some bands don't like playing their old, or their original songs," Scholz remarked in a recent phone interview. "I mean, some of these songs I wrote over 30 years ago. But I guess there's something wrong with me because I still like them." |

It was more than a feeling that kept the sweaty crowd anxiously waiting for two great 70s bands to rock the Zoo Amphitheater tonight. The fever rose as the roadies tested the instruments for Boston. The capacity crowd roared as Boston broke into the National Anthem on guitar. Boston’s founder, 6-foot 7-inch Tom Scholz, played an old style organ but he didn’t move around the stage much, apparently because of the black brace on his knee. He wore a black and white T-shirt that said, “It’s OK, I’m with the band.” |

If you're wondering how the classic rock act Boston could tour this summer without its original lead singer, fear not. The band has added two vocalists to replace Brad Delp, who took his life in March 2007. One is Michael Sweet, the vocalist for '80s metal act Stryper. The other is Tommy DeCarlo, a fan the band found on MySpace who is taking a break from his job at a Home Depot to tour. Both performed as part of a Delp tribute concert that persuaded the band to take the act on the road for the first time since 2004. |

If you closed your eyes and didn't notice the six musicians standing on the DreamMakers Theater stage Saturday night, you'd think that the Kewadin Casino staff was hosting a retro party spinning nothing but Boston records. A pretty amazing feat considering that multi-instrumentalist, technical wizard and founding member Tom Scholz is the only remaining original musician in the lineup. |

For Stryper frontman Michael Sweet, touring this summer with Boston as one of its singers is bittersweet. "As excited as I am, I'm also incredibly concerned and a bit bummed because I'm leaving my wife, who is very ill," Sweet said. |

Thirty-two years ago Tom Scholz and company sang about being "just another band out of Boston, on the road trying to make ends meet." Since then Boston has certainly done that, and then some. |

Mu ● stal’gic (made up adj, noun, verb) It means to reminisce, remember and be reflective through music. The beauty is though - you get to remember it how you want!
In a sentence: I get mustalgic when I listen to BOSTON.
That’s the word that came to my mind as I sat and listened to Lou Gramm of Foreigner belt out Juke Box Hero and BOSTON play their evocative songs like Amanda and More Than a Feeling in front of nearly 5,000 rocking fans.
