We are trying to repair and mix the audio recording of BOSTON's performance at the Brad Delp Tribute show. For unknown reasons BOSTON's gear was moved and uncabled following our sound check. This, coupled with a minimal set change time, resulted in numerous technical problems during our performance, and even necessitated starting the set without Michael Sweet's guitar.

WOW, I don't know where to begin, this was the most incredible experience I've had with BOSTON ever.

The energy at the soundcheck that morning was amazing, as it had been for days, ever since people started arriving in Boston for our part of Brad's tribute.

If what matters, as Brad Delp once sang, is what you leave behind, then the former Boston singer's legacy is in good hands.

 

Last night at the Bank of America Pavilion, family, friends, and former bandmates paid tribute to not only the singer behind the microphone for classic rock songs including "More Than a Feeling," but the man they loved and are no doubt still grieving following his death by suicide in March.

There were tears shed in Boston when singer Brad Delp committed suicidein March, and a few more were likely shed at the Bank of America Pavilion Sunday night. Despite some somber moments, the five-hour, seven-band show amounted to a party in Delp’s honor.

 

“The best way we can honor Brad is to have a really good time tonight,” the band Boston’s leader Tom Scholz announced at the start of its closing set. And the band’s first show since losing Delp stressed the more upbeat side of its catalog, opening with “Rock ’n’ Roll Band” and closing with “Party.” Stryper singer Michael Sweet did most of the vocals, but leads were also done by past band members, current bassist Kimberley Dahme and even a Boston fan, Tommy DeCarlo, who was invited up from North Carolina.

Brad Delp, lead singer for the band Boston, sent an e-mail to longtime bandmate Tom Scholz in early January asking for a few days off from an upcoming summer tour so he could get married. That wedding was supposed to happen today, in a small backyard ceremony on the South Shore. Instead, Delp's friends, family, and fellow musicians will gather at the Bank of America Pavilion tomorrow night for a benefit concert in memory of the singer, who killed himself March 9.

A few changes have been announced for Sunday night's tribute to late Boston vocalist Brad Delp at the Bank of America Pavilion. Sammy Hagar, Orion the Hunter, and former Jefferson Starship singer Mickey Thomas are out and hometown rockers Extreme are in. (Hagar can't make it, according to the Boston website, for "personal business reasons.") Extreme joins the already-announced lineup of Michael Sweet of Stryper, Godsmack, RTZ, Farrenheit, auto magnate Ernie Boch Jr.'s Ernie and the Automatics, and Beatlejuice -- Delp's Beatles tribute act. Current and former members of Boston will also take the stage for the show, which will now start at 5:45 p.m. The gig is titled "Come Together" in honor of Delp's abiding love for the Fab Four.
