Boston: 1977-03-19 Long Beach, CA (FLAC_SB/Pre-FM_1 CD)

Here is another superb quality Boston show that comes from a pre-FM source (it wasn't recorded off-air by someone at home).  This is reportedly the full show and it was broadcast later (1977-10-16 most likely) in the year by the radio program King Biscuit Flower Hour.  A lot of artwork has the wrong date on it.  Many versions show October 16, 1977.  But the chances are better that this was the date it was broadcast because it definitely wasn't the concert date.

This show and the 1976-09-27 Cleveland, Ohio show I just uploaded are two of (if not the two) best sounding unreleased shows in circulation.  They are superb in quality.

On a side note, as I was searching for artwork for this specific upload, I came across an exciting fact.  Boston is releasing a new album on 2013-12-03 (in the USA anyhow).  It is not a "greatest hits" type reissue either and has all new, unreleased tracks.  According to the official Boston website, it has tracks with Brad Delp, Tommy DeCarlo, Kimberley Dahme, David Victor, and Tom Scholz on vocals.  And according to Boston's Tom Scholz, "...They have all been meticulously recorded to analogue tape on the same machines and equipment used for Boston's hits for the past 35 years."  The album was reportedly made over 10 years ago and is now officially being released.  If you are a Boston fan, buy it!  I always believe in supporting the artists we like by buying their officially released music.  I'll be buying it for sure!

I hope you enjoy this superb Long Beach 1977 show too...
