Whether it's on the first two BOSTON albums or on releases by his latest group, BARRY GOUDREAU'S ENGINE ROOM, guitarist BARRY GOUDREAU brings the world a soaring, blues-inflected sound that has been part of our collective musical psyche ever since he threw down the monster lead on Boston's 1977 rock radio smash, “Foreplay / Long Time.” I was thrilled to have Barry not only visit us backstage at a recent JEFFERSON STARSHIP gig I played in Beverly, Massachusetts — where Barry plugged in his beloved '60s Gibson SG Junior and did this interview (during which, as you'll hear, he discusses everything from working with Boston's brilliant mastermind/chief composer and multi-instrumentalist/producer TOM SCHOLZ to collaborating with the late, great Boston singer BRAD DELP to creating music with his other bands, including RTZ, ORION THE HUNTER, and, of course, the Engine Room) — but also have Barry sit in with us on stage! That's right: During our encore later that night, Barry joins us for an extended jam where he starts off with a big solo, and then we trade licks back and forth, and you'll hear it all go down at the end of the episode.

We've been doing this show for almost 7 years and we're finally doing series of episodes on that much maligned and much beloved genre… ‘70s rock! This week, we have classic interviews with the likes of Brad Delp, the phenomenal lead singer of Boston, who we lost far too soon.  Delp talks about his humble beginnings as well as the obsessive leader of the group, Tom Scholz. We also have some great clips from the Doobie Brothers.  One is from their mid-‘70s heyday, one is with Michael McDonald – and then we have Tom's 2018 conversation with guitarist Patrick Simmons.  And there's a very good reason you haven't heard this interview sooner… but it's an embarrassing one (for Tom)! Also, Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull talks about the very funny origin of the band's name and the story behind their first hit And we take care of business with one of the most popular bands in Canadian history - BTO! And Christopher talks about one of the greatest musical experiences of his life – and it happened just a few weeks ago!  Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville.  It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

We've covered a lot of great bands and artists in our podcasts, but it is a rare occasion when we get to explore a group that has defined an entire rock genre.  The Cure are considered to be the defining band within the goth rock movement.  Formed in 1978 out of the post-punk era, this West Sussex band would grow into an international cult favorite, complete with black wardrobe, smeared lipstick, and wild hair.The Cure is considered to have hit the height of their commercial appeal with Wish, their ninth stuio album.  Personnel for this album were Boris Williams on percussion (his last album appearance with the group), Perry Bamonte on guitars and keyboards (his first appearance as a member of the group), Pori Thompson on guitar (his last appearance with the group for 16 years), Simon Gallop on bass, and Robert Smith on vocals, keyboards, guitar, and bass.  The Cure would see a lot of personnel changes through the years, with Robert Smith being the only consistent member throughout, and the driving force behind the band.Wish was written with a lighter alternative rock sound than their previous albums, making many songs more accessible both to the less devoted fan and to commercial radio.  It went to number 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the US, and number 1 on the UK albums chart.Bruce presents this monster of goth rock in today's podcast. A Letter to EliseThe third single from the album had its first release prior to the album on a 1991 episode of MTV Unplugged.  It is a song about resignation, of realizing that things are just not going to work out.  It went to number 2 on the US Alternate Airplay charts.HighOne of the more upbeat songs, this is the lead single from the album.  It went to number 1 on the US Modern Tracks, and 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It chronicles the feelings of love and infatuation.  Despite their reputation, many Cure songs are not dark and melancholy.  To Wish Impossible ThingsThis is a deeper track, and a darker one.  It is about relationships generally, and more specifically looking back on a relationship that is no more.  The title comes from the idea that selfish wishes do not turn out well when they are granted.Friday I'm In LoveThis was the band's second single and the big hit from the album.  It peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the last top 40 hit for the Cure to date), and at number 1 on the Billboard Modern Tracks chart.  This surprisingly happy song about looking foward to Friday has become one of the signature songs from the group. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Yo Cousin Vinny by Joe PesciThe starring actor from "My Cousin Vinny" takes a comedic turn with this song inspired by the movie "My Cousin Vinny." STAFF PICKS:To Be With You by Mr. BigLynch starts off the staff picks with an acoustic rock ballad.  Front man and co-writer Eric Martin provides lead vocals to this song which topped the Billboard Hot 100.  It was a single off the album "Lean Into It," and is considerdd the groups most successful song to date. Black Flag by Kings XRob's staff pick is the lead single off Kings X's self-titled album, their fourth studio album, and the first on Atlantic Records.  Kings X has often been labeled as a Contemporary Christian album, but they have inspired a number of prog rock groups through the years.  Unlike many bands, the core lineup of the band has remained the same for over forty years.The End of Everything by The Charlatans UKWayne brings us a deeper cut from a group from the midlands in England.  This song's lyrics are inspired by a friend feigning an illness so he could leave the army.  The band appended the "UK" at the end of their name to avoid confusion with a 60's American band also called "the Charlatans."Until Your Love Comes Back Around by RTZBruce wraps up the staff picks with a ballad from a short-lived band out of Boston.  Former members of the band Boston, including guitarist Barry Goudreau and vocalist Brad Delp formed RTZ with keyboardist Mrian Maes, percussionist Dave Stefanelli, and bassist Tim Archibald.  This song went to number 26 on the US charts. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Elmira St. Boogie by Danny GattonThis instrumental gets us moving as we close out this week's podcast.

Even if true, we still think you should choose Political Beats!Boston is an unusual band, sui generis in many ways. To begin with, Boston is really one guy: Tom Scholz. Okay, Okay, he probably couldn't pull this off without the voice of Brad Delp. And our guest is quick to point out Sib Hashian has some nice moments on drums on the Boston debut album. But Scholz wrote nearly all the songs, he developed the guitar sound, he spent years in his basement perfecting that debut album. And what a debut it was. You know every song here and all but one remain in heavy rotation on classic rock radio stations across the country. It was the biggest-selling debut in history for about a decade after its release. “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,” “Foreplay/Long Time,” and “Hitch a Ride” continue to soundtrack summers annually.But what do you do for an encore? And how do you evolve that sound, if at all? These are some of the questions we kick around throughout the show. It's always a blast to be joined by a guest who actually lived through the release of some of the music we are discussing. Tom gives a needed and appreciated perspective on Boston and the impact the music had on the rock world.We'll talk until you're feelin' satisfied and are prepared to walk on to another episode.

Rockshow Episode 185 Boston Boston is an American rock band formed in 1976 in Boston, Massachusetts. The band was founded by Tom Scholz, an MIT-educated engineer and musician, along with vocalist Brad Delp and other members. Boston is known for its distinctive sound, characterized by soaring harmonies, intricate guitar work, and a blend of rock and progressive elements. Their self-titled debut album, "Boston," released in 1976, became a massive success and is one of the best-selling debut albums in history. It included hits like "More Than a Feeling" and "Peace of Mind." The band's sound featured Scholz's innovative use of technology, particularly the Rockman amplifier, which contributed to their signature guitar sound. Boston released several more albums over the years, including "Don't Look Back" (1978), "Third Stage" (1986), and others. While they didn't match the extraordinary success of their debut, they maintained a dedicated fan base. Tragically, Brad Delp, the band's iconic vocalist, passed away in 2007. Despite lineup changes and long gaps between albums, Boston continued to tour and record new music. Their music remains a significant part of classic rock history, known for its melodic hooks and technical craftsmanship in the rock genre. https://www.facebook.com/LukeBuysVintage?mibextid=LQQJ4d Luke Buys Vintage I buy vintage band shirts.

Metallica  was a big deal well before the release of this album.  Singer and guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich had formed the band a decade prior to this fifth studio release, technically called Metallica but most commonly referenced as The Black Album due to its all-black cover.  Hetfield and Ulrich, together with lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted were successful commercially and critically on the strength of previous albums, particularly their third (Master of Puppets) and fourth (...And Justice for All) studio releases.  However The Black Album would be their most successful album release, and the second longest-charting traditional title release in history, behind only Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." Metallica is one of the founding bands of thrash metal, and had a reputation for musicianship that was both fast and complex.  The Black Album saw the band developing a slower, more refined sound with singles that were shorter and tighter, making them more accessible to a general audience.  Hetfield also sought to create songs with a less "scream-heavy" vocalization.  The result of their efforts was both their first number one album on the charts, and an album filled with some of their most well-known singles.  The album is more heavy metal than their previous releases, but still retains a thrash metal edge.Metallica would go on from success to success, never really seeing their international fame fade.  This album marks the point where the band had learned to master both their musical craft and their stage craft.  John Lynch brings us this landmark heavy metal album. Enter SandmanThis track was the first single, the first song written for the album, and the last to receive lyrics.  Hammett wrote the primary guitar riff after being inspired by Soundgarden's Louder than Love album.  The original lyrics were much darker, referencing sudden infant death syndrome, and Lars Ulrich and producer Bob Rock encouraged Hetfield to rework them .Sad But TrueThe fifth and final single from the album was originally written in the key of E.  When the producer pointed out that every song on the album was written in E, the band tuned down to D for this track.  The idea for the lyrics about blind faith were inspired by the 1978 film "Magic" in which a ventriloquist is controlled by his puppet. The UnforgivenThe second single is a heavy power ballad about the struggles of the individual against an all-powerful machine-like force holding him captive.  It has a softer style than most Metallica songs, and allows Hetfield's vocal musicianship to shine through.  Two sequel songs would be released on future albums.Nothing Else MattersHetfield did not intend to release this song, but wrote it for himself when feeling homesick on tour.  Ulrich encouraged him to include it in the album, and it is one of their biggest hits.  While originally written about a girlfriend, the song has become a reference to Metallica's fans on tour. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Lets Work Together by The Kentucky Headhunters (from the motion picture “Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man”) This movie was a biker film with Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke in a Western style. STAFF PICKS:She's So High by BlurWayne is well known for his affinity to the Manchester psychedelic sound.  However, this group with the Manchester sound is actually from London.  While the song would appear to be about drugs, it is actually a reference to a girl who is out of the singer's league.  Blur hit number 48 on the UK single's chart with this release.Straight to Your Heart by Bad EnglishRob's staff pick was written by Jonathan Cain for this supergroup formed from members of Journey and The Babys.  John Waite's distinctive voice is clear on this hit from their second and final album, but it also maintains the rock sound. Face the Music by RTZ Bruce shares his take on this group formed by Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau, originally founding members of the group Boston, along with Brian Maes on keyboards, Tim Archibald on bass, and David Stefanelli on drums.  This single is off RTZ's debut album "Return to Zero."  While this song only went to number 49 on the US pop charts, the success of RTZ would convince Delp to leave Boston, only to return to the group a couple of years later.Crazy by SealLynch's staff pick is about the days when the Soviet Union was collapsing and the Berlin wall came down.  English singer songwriter Seal brings a haunting, smooth sound.  “In a sky full of people only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?”   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Sunshine by Timbuk 3The group best known for “The Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades” penned this steel drum-laden instrumental.

Aside from having a terrific title, the seventh studio album by REO Speedwagon would be the one which would bring them mainstream success.  You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish was the first album to be co-produced by guitarist Gary Richrath and lead singer Kevin Cronin, and was the first to break into the top 40 on the Billboard 200 album charts in the US, peaking at number 29.  It also was the first on which Bruce Hall was a part of the group, replacing Gregg Philbin on bass.  The rest of the group was Nel Doughty on keyboards and Alan Gratzer on drums.   Doughty and Gratzer were college students when the band was founded, and Doughty was inspired to create the name of the group when he saw it written on the board of his “History of Transportation” class.This album trends toward melodic rock and power ballads, which perhaps explains the broader appeal they received.  Richrath's guitar hooks blended well with Cronin's strong vocals, and the result was a polished sound that worked well for both rock anthems and more pensive ballads.  The energy of the studio album also seemed to finally catch the essence and energy of their live performances.The band would go on to become one of the stars of the arena rock world in the 80's, and this album is where that really started for them.Rob brings us this group at the start of their ascent to stardom. Roll with the ChangesThis infectious rock anthem leads off the album, and is a timeless staple of the band's concerts.  Kevin Cronin was inspired to write this song when he returned to the band in 1976 and relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles.  Changes in his life caused the song to hit him instantly.  He started writing the lyrics on a paper bag in his Ford Pinto while driving to L.A.Runnin' BlindThis deeper cut is the third track on the album.  It has a solid guitar riff and we believe a “Cheap Trick” sound.  The lyrics discuss a lover who is always on the road playing the guitar and leaving someone behind.  “Change is comin' no more runnin'”Time for Me to FlyAnother song written by Kevin Cronin, this ballad was inspired by Cronin's breakup with his high school girlfriend.  Unlike “Roll with the Changes,” this song took Cronin 10 years to write, and had been rejected for previous albums.  While it would peak at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100, it would become one of their best known songs and a timeless ballad.Say You Love Me or Say GoodnightAnother deeper cut that rocks, this one closes out the album.  The lyrics are a call to either make up or split up.  It is a great jam to end the concert or album.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion picture The Magic of LassieJimmy Stewart makes his last appearance in this installment of the film franchise starring the famous collie. STAFF PICKS:Party by Boston Bruce kicks off the staff picks with the sixth track from Boston's second studio album, “Don't Look Back”  This straight-up party song was co-written by Brad Delp and Tom Scholz, one of only two songs on the album not solely written by Scholz.  While it wasn't released as a single, it received significant airplay on rock stations and appears on Boston's Greatest Hits album.Raise a Little Hell by TrooperWayne keeps the energy up with a rocker off Canadian band Trooper's fourth studio album.  Randy Bachman produced this album entitled “Thick as Thieves.”  It appears in the first season of the NETFLIX show “Stranger Things.”  While not having a big hit in the US (this one went to number 59) Trooper was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2023.Hot Blooded by Foreigner Lynch brings us a monster hit written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones.  While most people with a fever of 103 would need some rest, the song describes the cure as an after-show rendezvous with the girl he's been checking out.  The song did more than dance up the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 3.Runaway by Jefferson StarshipRob takes the tempo down to close out the staff picks with the second single from the album “Earth.”  This song made it to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Marty Balin takes vocal duties on this song, alternating between a smooth sound in the verses and a grittier, funky sound in the bridge. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot by REO Speedwagon This instrumental off “You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish” gives us the opportunity to double dip on the episode's featured album by REO Speedwagon.

In 1976, Tom Scholz engineered one of the greatest capers in music history when he devised a plan to record Boston's debut album his own way, contrary to how the record label executives thought it should be done. The result was one of the best-selling albums in rock and roll history, and it all started with an instrumental track that Scholz wrote while studying at MIT years before. That track grew into “Foreplay/Longtime,” one of many hits on Boston's triumphant first album.

Meilensteine der Rockgeschichte – REGENBOGEN 2

Dieses unangefochtene Überraschungs-Meisterwerk hat ein ganzes Genre aus dem Boden gestampft! Es gilt als die erste AOR-Platte der Rockgeschichte: BOSTON und ihr gleichnamiges Debütalbum von 1976. Dank des kreativen Bandchefs, dem hartnäckigen Freigeist und Soundtüftler TOM SCHOLZ, wurde die Platte auf eine Art und Weise produziert, wie zuvor keine andere. Alles „Marke Eigenbau"! Der waghalsige Plan ging voll auf - mit dem Mix aus Hard-Rock, Blues, Pop und Klassik, sowie dem talentierten Sänger BRAD DELP konnte man sich sogar gegen den damaligen Disco-Boom behaupten. Dieser Sound war neu, einzigartig und aufregend. Mit Evergreens wie „More Than A Feeling" oder „Peace of Mind" bleibt es eines der erfolgreichsten und meistverkauften Debütalben aller Zeiten…ein Juwel der 70er, auf dem es noch mehr zu entdecken gibt! Hört die ganze Scheibe, Song für Song, in voller Länge, mit vielen spannenden Hintergrundinfos vom Lange aus dem Feierabend, hier im Regenbogen 2 Meilensteine der Rockgeschichte Podcast!

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 El grupo Boston se crea a mediados de 1969 por el ingeniero del MIT Tom Scholz como guitarrista y principal compositor, además del vocalista Brad Delp, el guitarrista Barry Goudreau y el batería Jim Masdea. Tras unos inicios algo inciertos, en el cual grabaron varias demos, realizadas en el estudio de Tom Scholz ubicado en el sótano doméstico de éste; luego el batería Jim Masdea deja el grupo y es reemplazado por Sib Hashian, mientras que el bajista Fran Sheehan se incorpora a las filas del grupo, que hasta el momento funcionaba como una banda a medio camino entre el circuito de aficionados y el profesionalismo de tiempo completo en los bares y pubs del circuito costero de bandas de rock de la ciudad de Boston. De hecho tanto Bradley Delp como Tom Scholz, tenían trabajos estables de tiempo completo fuera de la escena musical, durante esta primera etapa de la banda los miembros de la primera formación del grupo se habían conocido indistintamente interactuando y compartiendo papeles musicales en otras bandas locales. En los años previos a la edición de su primer LP, las demos realizadas fueron enviadas a varias compañías discográficas, como muestra para una eventual grabación y edición, y frecuentemente se recibía la respuesta (a confesión del propio Tom Scholz) "...esta banda no tiene nada que ofrecer...". Fue así como, en 1976, y gracias a las composiciones ingeniosas de Scholz, el grupo publica ese mismo año su primer álbum titulado simplemente "Boston", tomando como base las demos realizadas en el estudio particular de Tom Scholz, que fueron remasterizadas y remezcladas en los afamados estudios "The Record Plant" en California, saltando de inmediato a los primeros puestos de las listas de éxitos con el clásico "More Than a Feeling" y con "Peace of Mind". El trabajo de Scholz se puede ver, asimismo, en la enigmática "Hitch a Ride", una de las piezas más completas del disco. La voz de Delp es, además, un total acierto y se nota cierta innovación en el sonido del grupo en comparación de otras bandas de la época. Para 1978, el grupo lanza su segundo álbum titulado "Don't Look Back", el cual es de notable menor calidad que su antecesor y no deja muy satisfecho a Scholz, que acusa a la compañía discográfica de haberlo presionado para publicar este material; a pesar de esto, el disco alcanza ventas que le llevan al disco de platino y la canción que da título al disco se convierte en un éxito comercial. Tras ello, comienza un litigio legal entre la compañía y el grupo, que durará años, y que retrasará el siguiente álbum de Boston durante ocho años. En el intertanto Tom Scholz líder de la banda expresó a los miembros del grupo que si deseaban realizar un proyecto musical alternativo ese era el momento pues el próximo proyecto de la banda tomaría un tiempo mayor. El guitarrista Barry Goudreau lanzó su proyecto solista titulado "Goudreau" en conjunto con otros músicos como banda de apoyo; entonces debido a un malentendido pues el sello discográfico de Barry Goudreau publicitó el disco con la consigna "music throught science" (música a través de la ciencia), Tom Scholz expulsa a Barry Goudreau de la banda acusándolo de suplantar y plagiar en su proyecto musical personal la propuesta grupal de la banda cuestión que no era intención de Goudreau. El guitarrista Gary Phil sustituye a Goudreau y Fran Sheehan deja también al grupo. Scholz financia sus grabaciones vendiendo equipo, debido al asunto entre CBS y Boston. En 1982 el baterista Sib Hashian deja al grupo. En 1986 se lanza, por fin, Third Stage y la canción "Amanda" llega inmediatamente a las listas de popularidad; esta canción es de un sonido muy distinto a las anteriores, una balada muy de los años ochenta, acertada por Scholz y la gran voz de Delp. El álbum alcanza disco de platino. Delp deja Boston en 1990 y es sustituido por Fran Cosmo. El siguiente álbum de Boston no aparece hasta 1994; titulado Walk On, retoma ciertos sonidos de hard rock de los inicios del grupo. Los arreglos de la canción que titula al disco (dividida en tres segmentos) son considerados excesivos por algunos, pero la canción es una de las mejores piezas compuestas y arregladas por el ingenioso Scholz. Delp regresa al grupo ese mismo año. El siguiente trabajo del grupo es Corporate America lanzado en 2002, ya con algunas tendencias pop y otras buenas canciones. Es de resaltar la participación de Fran Cosmo y su hijo Anthony, además de que entra Kimberley Dahme en el bajo y en algunos arreglos vocales. Jeff Neal (batería) completa una la extensa alineación de este álbum. Fran Cosmo y su hijo dejaron al grupo a principios de 2006 para formar su propia banda, dejando en ese momento a Brad Delp como única voz del grupo. Se especuló sobre una posible reunión con Barry Goudreau durante este periodo. Uno de los aportes de Tom Scholz es la tecnología "Rockman", que fue utilizada por Def Leppard en su álbum Hysteria. El 9 de marzo de 2007, una de las mejores voces en la historia del rock, Brad Delp, se suicidó inhalando monóxido de carbono. Fue hallado en su casa muerto en el baño con su cabeza encima de una almohada con una nota pegada en el cuello de su camisa con un clip que decía: "soy un alma solitaria". Pruebas de toxicología mostraron que se envenenó respirando monóxido de carbono y también hallaron otra nota en la puerta de su casa diciendo: "Cuando encuentren esta nota, ya estaré muerto, o si no, mi plan B es asfixiarme en mi coche". El sustituto de Brad Delp fue nada menos que el cantante del grupo de rock cristiano Stryper, Michael Sweet, quien participó en el último tour de Boston. Después de que Brad Delp nos dejara el pasado 9 de marzo de 2007, la banda tiene nuevo cantante, Tommy DeCarlo. El nuevo cantante, fue descubierto por casualidad por la mujer de Scholz cantando karaoke con una canción de Boston por Myspace. Boston anunció que la banda lleva grabado el 85% de su nuevo disco y piensan editarlo para el 2013. Según algunas fuentes, en este próximo álbum se podrá escuchar la voz de todos los cantantes incluyendo varias canciones con la voz de Brad Delp.Boston es considerado como un grupo de hard rock, combinando elementos del rock progresivo y heavy metal en su música. El ex-cantante Brad Delp era bien conocido por su gran tesitura vocal y un timbre afinado y "cristalino" que se muestra en éxitos como "More Than a Feeling". El guitarrista y compositor principal Tom Scholz abarca diversos estilos musicales, que van desde la música clásica hasta el pop inglés de 1960, que ha dado como resultado a un sonido único, se dio cuenta de forma más consistente en los dos primeros discos (Boston y Don't Look Back). Este sonido se caracteriza por provocar múltiples armonías combinadas con la guitarra, a menudo alternando sonidos y luego mezclando "capas" de guitarras eléctricas y acústicas. Scholz y Brian May son buenos ejemplos en 'perfectas' armonías de guitarra. Otro factor que contribuye es el uso de equipos de alta tecnología, en cuanto a efectos, amplificación electroacústica, etc. como los Rockman (creado por Tom Scholz), usado por guitarristas como de Journey Neal Schon, la banda ZZ Top, y Ted Nugent; pero por otra parte evitando usar "samplers", sintetizadores, computadores, midis, secuenciadores, y otros tipos de instrumentos en la creación de sonidos pues en palabras de Scholz tales elementos desnaturalizan la verdadera creación musical. El álbum Hysteria de Def Leppard fue creado usando tan sólo la tecnología de Rockman. "Combinando un sonido de guitarra profundo, agresivo, acortado en riffs y casi etéreo. Tiempo después pasó a un enfoque global más pesado, más bajo y oscuro (en los próximos dos álbumes) Third Stage y Walk On. El cantante Brad Delp, que fue fuertemente influenciado por los Beatles, también era conocido por crear el sonido de Boston con su voz característica, que se vincula rápidamente con el grupo como a Freddie Mercury con Queen, Mick Jagger con los Rolling Stones, Steve Perry de Journey, Lou Gramm de Foreigner, Paul Rodgers de Bad Company, Roger Daltrey de The Who, Richard Sinclair con Hatfield & The North, Elliot Lurie con Looking Glass, Dennis DeYoung con Styx, Andy Fairweather-Low con Amen Corner, y Steve Walsh de Kansas.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de Biblioteca Del Metal (Recopilation).

1978 — September: Boston “Don't Look Back”

What the Riff?!?

Back in 1976 Boston took the rock world by storm with their debut, and largely self-produced, album.  This highly anticipated second album made its appearance two years later, a span of time which would in retrospect be considered quite fast - no other Boston album would appear for eight years.  Don't Look Back was originally entitled "Arrival," until the band discovered that ABBA had already released an album with that name.  Guitarist and producer Tom Scholz considered the album to be rushed out by the record label, and believed it was too short and needed another song.  This would begin a multi-year legal battle with Epic Records that would eventually be settled in Boston's favor, but it would also be “a long time” until their third album was released, by which time only Scholz and front man Brad Delp were the only original band members in the lineup.The album was released in August and sold over four million copies in its first month, eventually being certified 7x platinum by the RIAA.  As with their first album, virtually every song will be familiar, as all received significant airplay on rock stations everywhere beyond the three singles released from the album.Join us as we explore this iconic album and the events of September 1978. Don't Look BackThis lead song is an iconic staple from the rock era.  It has a positive, future oriented feel to it.  It is the first song on the album and the first single released.  It was one of the most successful songs they released.  "I finally see the dawn arriving.  I see beyond the road I'm driving."  "The sun is shining, and I'm on that road."The JourneyIf it sounds like Don't Look Back is cut off on the radio before the song concludes, that's because there is no break on the album between it and The Journey.  This ethereal instrumental track transitions between the lead song and "It's Easy." Scholz considers this his favorite song, and wanted it to be longer on the album.It's EasyThis is a deeper cut from the album, and was not released as a single at the time.  "It's easy taking it day by day."A Man I'll Never BeThere's a big difference between Don't Look Back, the first single from the album, and A Man I'll Never Be, the second single.  This song is more pensive and less self-assured than the opening track, and presents a nice bookend to the first side of the album.  "If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you think I am.  And its getting harder every day for me to hide behind this dream you see a man I'll never be."  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from “WKRP In Cincinnati”Hugh Wilson created this comedy based upon his experience working at pop radio station WQXI in Atlanta. STAFF PICKS:She's Always A Woman  by Billy JoelBruce features the fourth single from Billy Joel's biggest hit album - The Stranger.  It was written for his wife Elizabeth Weber.  She had taken over management of Joel's career, and took a lot of grief from her adversaries in negotiation for being "unfeminine."  But Joel says here, "she's always a woman." She apparently got Joel's finances back on track.Song on the Radio by Al StewartWayne brings us a surprisingly chill staff pick.  This is from Al Stewart's eighth studio album, “Time Passages,” produced by Alan Parsons.  Wayne mentions that this is a cruising song on a hot summer night.  Stewart refers to his style as creating songs as cinema.Life's Been Good   by Joe WalshRob's staff pick is an autobiographical piece from Eagles alumnus Joe Walsh off his album “But Seriously, Folks.”  Like many of his songs, Walsh doesn't take himself too seriously in this song.  He had a house in Beverly Hills, but he was never there.  The line about “tearing out the walls,” references a real life incident in a hotel with Keith Moon.Miss You  by The Rolling StonesBrian finishes off our staff picks with a Rolling Stones piece from their disco days, though they referred to it as "R&B."  But Charlie Watts (drummer) embraced the disco setting.  Billy Preston was riffing on the bass guitar one evening after Bill Wyman had left for the day, and Mick Jagger encouraged Wyman to play in Preston's style. LAUGH TRACK:The Thanksgiving Episode from "WKRP in Cincinnati"WKRP in Cincinnati came to an end in September, 1978, so for our Laugh Track we feature one of the most well-known episodes...  “As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”

NADA MÁS QUE MÚSICA

Continuando con nuestra pequeña historia del rock, nos habíamos quedado en el final de la crisis energética y admirando la eclosión de un buen número de grandes grupos. Como una pincelada, escuchamos la excelente canción de Kansas, “Dust in the wind”. Pero hubo muchos más, por ejemplo, Styx, con su éxito “Lady”. Los orígenes de Styx se remontan a 1963, cuando, en Chicago, los hermanos Chuck y John Panozzo (bajista y batería, respectivamente) empezaron a tocar, por diversión, con el teclista y cantante Dennis De Young. Durante los primeros cinco años, la música fue un hobby para ellos. Luego, en 1968, entraron en escena los guitarristas James Young y John Curulewski, y el grupo, bajo el nombre de Tradewinds, comenzó a actuar por el área de Chicago. No eran tan potentes y originales como Chicago, que en aquel periodo dominaba la escena jazz-rock americana, pero tenían un gran espíritu de superación, que se lo curraban, vamos. En 1970, tras haber cambiado su nombre por el de Styx, publicaron su primer álbum, 'Styx', prometedor y lleno de ideas, aunque realizado con muy bajo presupuesto. Su segundo disco, 'Styx II' (1973), contiene su primer gran éxito, la canción 'Lady', que acabamos de escuchar, y que, en 1975, escaló las listas de singles; fue un caso aislado, ya que tanto este disco como los siguientes, pasaron casi inadvertidos. Otro grupo de esta misma época, Boston, también tuvo su momento de gloria con una canción: “More tan a feeling” Boston se crea a mediados de 1969 por el ingeniero de sonido Tom Scholz como guitarrista y principal compositor, además del vocalista Brad Delp, el guitarrista Barry Goudreau y el batería Jim Masdea. Tras un inicio algo incierto, el batería deja el grupo y es reemplazado por Sib Hashian, y además el bajista Fran Sheehan se incorpora a las filas del grupo. Es así, como en 1976 y gracias a las composiciones ingeniosas del Scholz, el grupo lanza en 1976 su primer álbum titulado simplemente "Boston" y colocando inmediatamente éxitos en las listas de popularidad, como la clásica "More than a feeling", que acabamos de oír. Para 1978, el grupo lanza su segundo álbum titulado "Don´t look back", el cual, a pesar de ser bastante más flojo que su antecesor, el disco alcanza ventas que le llevan al disco de platino y la canción que da título al álbum se convierte en un éxito comercial. Nos despedimos de Boston con esta canción: "Don´t look back" Otro de estos grupos fue Journey, una banda de rock creada en 1973 en San Francisco, por el teclista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon, por cierto, integrantes originales de Santana. Esta banda, de estilo rock progresivo en sus inicios, fue cambiando a un estilo más melódico con la incorporación del vocalista Steve Perry en 1978. Este tipo, con la aportación de voz, convirtió a la banda en una de las más destacadas de los años 1980, con ventas de más de 80 millones de discos en todo el mundo. Journey alcanzó la cima del éxito en 1981 con el álbum Escape, que contenía canciones como "Open Arms", "Who's Crying Now" y "Don't Stop Believin'". Escucharemos esta última. Robert Clark "Bob" Seger, nacido en Lincoln Park, Míchigan, el 6 de mayo de 1945, es cantante, compositor, guitarrista y pianista, lo tiene todo. Al principio de su carrera se dedicó a actuar y grabar de forma local, llegándole el éxito en la misma medida. Pero, en 1973, reunió The Silver Bullet Band, un grupo de músicos del área de Detroit, con el que alcanzó ya el éxito a nivel nacional con el álbum Live Bullet, grabado en vivo en 1975 en el Cobo Hall de Detroit, Míchigan. En 1976, consigue un nuevo éxito nacional con el álbum de estudio Night Moves. Bob Seger es un roquero de raíces, con una clásica voz raspada. Ha escrito y grabado canciones que tratan del amor, las mujeres y temas sobre la clase trabajadora, y se ha preocupado siempre por escribir sobre el estilo de vida del trabajador estadounidense. Seger ha tenido numerosos éxitos, pero creo que le recordaremos por su icónico tema "Old Time Rock and Roll" Rainbow es una banda británica de hard rock y heavy metal liderada por el guitarrista Ritchie Blackmore, cuyo período de actividad tuvo lugar entre 1975 y 1984 aunque volvieron a escena entre 1994 y 1997. Originalmente fue fundada por Blackmore y los componentes del grupo Elf, pero con el tiempo la banda sufrió varios cambios en su formación y, desgraciadamente, ninguna de ellas grabó más de un disco. Originalmente su música mezclaba letras épicas con el sonido del metal neoclásico, pero con el paso del tiempo y, supongo, por las exigencias del mercado, el grupo adoptó posturas más comerciales. En 1978, el grupo se reunió en París, en los estudios Le Chateau, para preparar un nuevo LP. Tras dos meses de sesiones intermitentes, Blackmore, disgustado con los resultados, despide a varios de sus músicos por “incompatibilidad de caracteres”, supongo… La grabación queda detenida y Blackmore regresa a Inglaterra para probar músicos. Al no quedar conforme con ninguno, vuelve a París y graba él mismo todas las partes de bajo. Otras pistas son regrabadas en diciembre por un músico de sesión llamado David Stone. Tras todos estos avatares, el grupo dio a luz “Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, trabajo lanzado en el Reino Unido el 14 de abril de 1978. Y es éste: “Long Live Rock and Roll” The Alan Parsons Project fue un grupo inglés de rock progresivo formado en 1975 en Londres y activo hasta 1990.1 La banda estuvo liderada por el productor, ingeniero y compositor Alan Parsons y el productor ejecutivo, compositor y vocalista Eric Woolfson. En él participaron varios músicos de estudio y un grupo amplio de cantantes. En conjunto grabaron un total de once discos, acreditándose la mayoría de las canciones como Parsons/Woolfson, quienes lograron vender más de cincuenta millones de copias. Cuando mejor rodaban las cosas, y como siempre ocurre en casi todos los grupos, las relaciones entre Woolfson y Parsons no eran las mejores y, consecuentemente, llegó la separación. Mientras Parsons siguió su propia carrera en solitario y llevó a muchos miembros del proyecto de gira por primera vez con gran éxito, Woolfson produjo obras musicales influenciadas por la música de The Alan Parsons Project. Obras como Freudiana, Gaudi y Gambler fueron tres musicales que incluyeron canciones como "Eye in the Sky". Billy Joel ha grabado muchos éxitos populares y logrado más de 40 éxitos desde 1973 (empezando con el sencillo "Piano Man" que ya hemos oído en este programa) hasta su retirada en 1993, aunque, bueno, el hombre sigue haciendo tours. Es uno de los pocos artistas de rock y pop que consiguieron éxitos en el "Top Ten" de los 70, 80, y 90. Ganador del Premio Grammy en seis ocasiones, ha vendido más de 100 millones de discos en el mundo y es el sexto artista con más ventas en Estados Unidos. Ha realizado exitosas giras artísticas algunas veces con Elton John además de escribir y grabar música clásica. En 1983 lanzó el álbum "An Innocent Man" que incluía la pegadiza "Uptown Girl". En este álbum Billy Joel hace un tributo a la música de su infancia y siempre ha considerado este trabajo como “un álbum de cantantes”. Concretamente, "Uptown Girl" es un homenaje a Frankie Valli y The Four Seasons y su estilo doo-wop, hecho popular a mediados de los años 50. Escuchamos Uptown Girl. En esta época, destacaron varios guitarristas que no podemos pasar por alto. Cada uno con un estilo diferente, aportaron a la creatividad del momento páginas inolvidables. El primero de ellos Pat Metheny. Pat Metheny es un guitarrista estadounidense de jazz, reconocido como uno de los más grandes músicos de este género. Ha ganado innumerables premios y reconocimientos, entre ellos 20 Grammy. A lo largo de su dilatada carrera, ha tocado con artistas tan diversos como Antonio Carlos Jobim, Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Michael Brecker, Milton Nascimento, Enrique Morente, David Bowie o Carlos Santana. Nosotros vamos a escucharle, con su Pat Metheny Grup, en Better Days Ahead. Patrick Henry Travers , nacido el 12 de abril de 1954 en Toronto, Canadá, es un guitarrista de Hard Rock que inició su carrera musical a mediados de los setenta. Por su banda han pasado gente tan reconocida como Nicko McBrain o Jerry Riggs, entre otros. De su producción destacan los discos de sus inicios, como Heat in the Street de 1978, álbum en el que contó con el reconocido batería Tommy Aldridge; Crash and Burn de 1980 y Radio Active de 1981. A partir de allí, la carrera de Travers no ha logrado el éxito comercial obtenido en su primera época, sin embargo, conserva una leal base de fanáticos seguidores desde entonces. En retrospectiva, Pat Travers es considerado uno de los guitarristas más influyentes que emergió de la escena hard rock de los setentas. Algunos guitarristas, incluyendo a Kirk Hammett de Metallica, han citado a Travers como una de sus mayores influencias. Esto que suena es Snortin Whiskey Y bueno, no tenemos tiempo para más. Se nos han quedado en la recámara unos cuantos artistas que hubieran merecido nuestra atención. Se la prestaremos más adelante. En cualquier caso, ha sido un placer para mi, y espero que para vosotros, recordar a toda la gente que ha desfilado hoy por el programa. Así que, queridos amigos, me despido de todos vosotros amenazando con volver la próxima semana como siempre con… más historias, más músicos y más música. Hasta entonces… ¡¡¡BUENAS VIBRACIONES !!!

NADA MÁS QUE MÚSICA
Nada más que música - 1975 La eclosión

NADA MÁS QUE MÚSICA

Continuando con nuestra pequeña historia del rock, nos habíamos quedado en el final de la crisis energética y admirando la eclosión de un buen número de grandes grupos. Como una pincelada, escuchamos la excelente canción de Kansas, “Dust in the wind”. Pero hubo muchos más, por ejemplo, Styx, con su éxito “Lady”. Los orígenes de Styx se remontan a 1963, cuando, en Chicago, los hermanos Chuck y John Panozzo (bajista y batería, respectivamente) empezaron a tocar, por diversión, con el teclista y cantante Dennis De Young. Durante los primeros cinco años, la música fue un hobby para ellos. Luego, en 1968, entraron en escena los guitarristas James Young y John Curulewski, y el grupo, bajo el nombre de Tradewinds, comenzó a actuar por el área de Chicago. No eran tan potentes y originales como Chicago, que en aquel periodo dominaba la escena jazz-rock americana, pero tenían un gran espíritu de superación, que se lo curraban, vamos. En 1970, tras haber cambiado su nombre por el de Styx, publicaron su primer álbum, 'Styx', prometedor y lleno de ideas, aunque realizado con muy bajo presupuesto. Su segundo disco, 'Styx II' (1973), contiene su primer gran éxito, la canción 'Lady', que acabamos de escuchar, y que, en 1975, escaló las listas de singles; fue un caso aislado, ya que tanto este disco como los siguientes, pasaron casi inadvertidos. Otro grupo de esta misma época, Boston, también tuvo su momento de gloria con una canción: “More tan a feeling” Boston se crea a mediados de 1969 por el ingeniero de sonido Tom Scholz como guitarrista y principal compositor, además del vocalista Brad Delp, el guitarrista Barry Goudreau y el batería Jim Masdea. Tras un inicio algo incierto, el batería deja el grupo y es reemplazado por Sib Hashian, y además el bajista Fran Sheehan se incorpora a las filas del grupo. Es así, como en 1976 y gracias a las composiciones ingeniosas del Scholz, el grupo lanza en 1976 su primer álbum titulado simplemente "Boston" y colocando inmediatamente éxitos en las listas de popularidad, como la clásica "More than a feeling", que acabamos de oír. Para 1978, el grupo lanza su segundo álbum titulado "Don´t look back", el cual, a pesar de ser bastante más flojo que su antecesor, el disco alcanza ventas que le llevan al disco de platino y la canción que da título al álbum se convierte en un éxito comercial. Nos despedimos de Boston con esta canción: "Don´t look back" Otro de estos grupos fue Journey, una banda de rock creada en 1973 en San Francisco, por el teclista Gregg Rolie y el guitarrista Neal Schon, por cierto, integrantes originales de Santana. Esta banda, de estilo rock progresivo en sus inicios, fue cambiando a un estilo más melódico con la incorporación del vocalista Steve Perry en 1978. Este tipo, con la aportación de voz, convirtió a la banda en una de las más destacadas de los años 1980, con ventas de más de 80 millones de discos en todo el mundo.

On Sunday, September 15th 2019, Ric Ocasek of The Cars passed away at his townhouse where he was recovering from surgery. This group was a staple of radio and video throughout the later 70's and 80's, and their album Heartbeat City propelled them to super-stardom both with the number of singles off the album and heavy video airplay on MTV.We covered The Cars' debut album on What the Riff?!? Ep. 28, but it seemed appropriate to make this group the first one we feature twice as a tribute to Ocasek and his work as front man of the group. We hope you enjoy this “Drive” down memory lane and keep Ocasek's family in your prayers.“Magic”This is one of the five single hits produced by this album. The video featured Ocasek "walking on water" in a pool at the Hilton estate. During the production, the Plexiglas used to facilitate the stunt cracked, dumping Ocasek in the water. “Looking for Love ”This deeper cut has a more New Wave feel. Ric Ocasek was the songwriter for The Cars.  “You Might Think”The funny and strange video for this cut is iconic, and beat out Michael Jackson's ultra-successful “Thriller” for MTV Video of the Year. “Heartbeat City”The title track received radio airplay as the B-side of “You Might Think” in the U.S., but was not actually released as a single. Who is Jackie, and what took her so long? ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:“The Theme from Friday the 13th” by Harry ManfrediniThis month saw the release of the fourth iteration of the Friday the 13th movies was called “The Final Chapter”... but obviously wasn't the end. STAFF PICKS:“99 Red Balloons” by NenaThis song had two versions, and English language version and a German version. The German version was surprisingly popular in America. The song itself tells the story of worldwide destruction from war initiated after mistaking 99 helium balloons for an aerial attack. “Balls to the Wall” by AcceptThe title of Wayne's heavy staff pick references the throttles on a jet fighter. Full throttle is pushing the ball at the top of the throttle all the way forward. It means going full out. Like Nena, Accept is also from Germany.“Rebel Yell” by Billy IdolThis title track from Idol's second studio album. Though the song is about a one-night stand, the title was inspired by a late night session Idol had with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ron Wood taking swigs from a bottle of Rebel Yell bourbon whiskey.“So You Ran” by Orion the HunterThis group was made up of two artists from the group Boston, and the lead vocalist would actually join Boston to handle lead vocal duties on Boston's fourth album “Walk On” in Brad Delp's absence. This album is kind of hard to find these days — and the song is not on iTunes. INSTRUMENTAL:“Drive” by the CarsWe finish off this week with an instrumental version of the biggest hit off “Heartbeat City.” This one was originally sung by Benjamin Orr (who died of pancreatic cancer in October of 2000) rather than Ocasek, but the voiceless version seemed appropriate. Rest in peace gentlemen, and thank you for the music!

With their self-titled debut album, Boston burst onto the stage with a sound that would come to define classic rock - "the Boston sound." Although an instant hit (it was the second best selling debut album in US history), it took several years for the demo tape to be accepted by a record label, and then would require some evasion of the label's wishes for MIT graduate Tom Scholz to be able to create the full album in his basement studio instead of taking it to Los Angeles. Driven by Brad Delp's soaring tenor vocals and Tom Scholz' work on virtually everything else, this album is a must-have in any rock lover's catalog - and that's more than a feeling! Foreplay/Long Time The instrumental prelude "Foreplay" with its distinctive triplet pattern is one of the first songs written, dating back to 1969. "Long Time" features the switch between acoustic and electric guitar that would be one of several signature features of the Boston sound. Peace of Mind This is the third single from the album. Scholz was working at Polaroid as a design engineer when he was shopping this album, and this song reflects Scholz thoughts on corporate life. Hitch a Ride This mellow track has a little bit of a hippie feel, but maintains a positive vibe that you see in the tracks on this album. The production on this track is amazing. Rock and Roll Band While this track might sound autobiographical, it is actually the opposite - it took a long time and a lot of work for Boston to get accepted. The band had never played live when the song was written. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: **Theme from "What's Happening" ** This TV show featured Dwayne, Raj, Dee, and Rerun. Hard to believe that Rerun was considered overweight by 1970s standards... **STAFF PICKS: ** “Last Child” by Aerosmith Rob's staff pick features another band from Boston, Aerosmith. Steven Tyler and Brad Whitford wrote this track for the album "Rocks", and if you listen, it has a similar sound to David Bowie's "Fame." “Devil Woman” by Cliff Richard It may have come out in August, but this is definitely a Halloween song. Cliff Richard is considered the "English Elvis," selling over 250 million records in his career. **“Afternoon Delight” by Starlight Vocal Band ** Brian's staff pick takes the tone down with this number 1 hit from the time. Starlight Vocal Band featured tight harmonies, and would parlay the song into a variety show, for which David Letterman would be a writer. “Still the One” by Orleans Bruce's staff pick also features close harmonies and a very positive take on long-term relationships. Joanna and John Hall wrote the song. Band co-founder John Hall would go on to be a congressman from New York. ***INSTRUMENTAL: * ** “Nadia's Theme” by Henry Mancini This instrumental hit was inspired by Romanian gymnast Nadia Comanici's scoring the first "perfect 10" in the 1976 Summer Olympic games.

Michael writes, "I wanted to share with you a recording I recently completed as a tribute to Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston who passed away recently. When I heard the circumstances surrounding his death, a suicide, it broke my heart. That someone who brought millions of people so much joy could feel so sad and alone—there’s no thought more tragic to a fellow musician and fan. "One of my favorite Boston songs has always been A Man I’ll Never Be from Don’t Look Back. That song hits home for me even more now. It expresses a feeling of inadequacy that I think we all can relate to at some point, and I expect that song gave Brad some comfort, too. "Here’s my humble rendition—it’s sort of an acoustic arrangement. I could never do Brad's voice justice, but I wanted to record it to mark his passing. I performed all the vocals and music, and recorded and mixed it in my home project studio. The chain was a Neumann TLM49 into a Pacifica pre amp then through my RME Fireface 800 into Cubase 4."
