A very sad loss. I remember hearing Boston's first album on the Alan "Fluff" Freeman Saturday Rock Show. He played "More than a feeling" and "Long time" and I was knocked out. The vocal was astonishing.

I saw Boston at the Rainbow a little later and thought they were amazing live too.

That band "upstairs" just keeps getting larger.

saw boston in '78..bingley hall, stafford..tour for the second album, they were as good live as on record. Brad had a super voice, i agree with KW, 'long time' was a vocal triumph for Brad.A real shame.

Yes another sad loss and you're right KW about upstairs.

I found the news pretty quick after it broke but Boston is not on the moon so I felt it would be out of place.

I didn't get to see them on their debut tour but I did see them when the second album tour (Don't Look Back) came around. They were good live. His passing is sad news.

I'd read that Boston was secretly working together on a new album (not that much of a secret if that fact was publicized somewhere). Looks like the death of that effort too. Too bad.

I saw them back in '02 on their Corporate America tour. Great show. Great singer. Sad loss.

Sad news indeed. I was lucky enough to see them on their debut tour and other times too. As others have stated they were an incredible live band. Brad will be missed dearly.

Music can define a time. That first album came out my senior year of High School. It was playing everywhere. So for me hearing it always calls back that time. That's a gift music sometimes gives. He will be missed I'm sure. Paw

Sad loss, he brought Scholz's songs to life. True 70s pop/rock magic.

I too saw the Stafford Bigley Hall gig.
