Boston: 2014-06-18 Allen, X (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

Here's an excellent capture of the Boston show in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by "whotapes" about a week ago.  Boston has always been a band I have loved a lot.  And even though I've collected as many shows as I could find of them (past and present), there just aren't as many shows available from their earlier years due to the history of the band.  And the earlier years (1976 - 1979) are my favorite years for their live concerts too.

After Brad Delp's 2008 death, I wasn't expecting to hear much more of Boston other than through live recordings of past shows.  But they did come back and sound and play great even today.  The YouTube found singer, Tommy DeCarlo, does a great job of pulling off the songs with the Brad Delp style and sound.  While no band still around today that made it through the 1970's can ever sound as good as they did in their heyday, Boston comes as close to doing it as the best of them do.

Boston put on a spectacular sounding show this night.  They seem to be able to maintain their "old sound" better than a lot of bands can nowadays.  I've yet to see Boston, not by choice, and they are one of the top bands I want to see in my life too.  I've never been able to get anyone to go, and being legally blind and unable to drive, it really sucks that I can't get any friends to be interested enough to go see them.  When did everyone get so old?  Anyhow, I have more than a feeling that I will see them and the next time they're in my area too.  So enough about that!

I'm making no changes to this upload in an effort to still save time and be able to upload a show before my day begins.  So other than the "Bootradr's TLH CDDA Test" text file showing no lossiness (and I checked for SBE's too), this upload is another "as is" upload.

I hope you enjoy "whotapes" trip to Boston in Dallas/Fort Worth.  I did...
