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.

Boston-Gründer Tom Scholz feilte jahrelang in seinem Kellerstudio an Songs und entwickelte den unverwechselbaren Sound, bevor er mit der zusammengestellten Band und viel Überzeugungsarbeit einen Plattenvertrag bei Epic Records ergattern konnte, der den Weg für das Debütalbum „Boston“ ebnete. In dieser Folge erfahrt Ihr, wie er dabei vorging und mit der ersten Single "More Than A Feeling" den Durchbruch schaffte.

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.

Talan er um rock and roll og harðrokk. Frammanundan hevði bólkaleiðarin, Tom Scholz, tikið tað mesta av tónleikinum upp í kjallaranum heima og spælt tey flestu ljóðførini sjálvur, tó ikki trummur og forsang. Hann byrjaði síðst í trýssunum at manna ein bólk, sum hann kundi trívast við, men alt riggaði ikki, sum hann ætlaði. Tí vóru tað næstin ongir aðrir tónleikarar enn hann sjálvur, sum spældu við á endaligu upptøkunum, ið gjørdar vóru til fyrstu Boston plátuna.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are with guest Tom Nichols. Tom is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author ofThe Death of Expertise: The Campaign against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters, with a new second edition out soon. Find him on X/Twitter at@RadioFreeTom. Tom's Music Pick: BostonThis could be our first episode that is longer simply by listening to the entirety of the band's actual discography. 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. Grab your Rockman amp and plug in to Political Beats.

When two podcasters commingle, sparks can fly.  Fuck humbleness, Rob Kassees and I hit it outta the park for our Boston episode. Think you're familiar with the Boston story? How about: The endless rejection which the band faced in its early days, not to mention the tireless perseverance that turns out to be a valuable trait when you end up releasing one of the ten-biggest selling debut albums of all time;  The first piece of music that Tom Scholz ever wrote, and which song on the debut it turned out to be;  And the full, shocking story behind singer Brad Delp's tragic suicide.

Mamy dla Was opowieść o debiutanckiej albumie zespołu, na którego czele stał pewien…inżynier z Polaroida. To historia grupy muzycznej, która nie miała prawa odnieść sukcesu, a jak już została zakontraktowana, złamała system na kilkadziesiąt lat, wydając najlepszy debiut płytowy w ówczesnej historii rocka. To przede wszystkim inspirująca historia o pogoni za marzeniami jednego człowieka - Toma Scholza, który po codziennej pracy w korporacji , przesiadywał godzinami w swojej piwnicy, realizując swoją muzyczną pasję.  Debiutancka płyta zespołu Boston, która nosiła taki sam tytuł, to przede wszystkim romantyczna historia zmagań z przeciwnościami losu jednego człowieka i o tym dlaczego warto walczyć o coś, co się kocha w życiu robić 

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.

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.

Boston, Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, and me.

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Jamie's next pick, Boston's Boston. Their self titled debut album, Boston marks the culmination of years of home recording by Tom Scholz, the lead guitarist and founder of the band. Recorded in both Scholz' basement, and in Los Angeles, the album was released in August 1976 and became an overnight hit. It was first picked up by a single radio station in Cleveland, and then the following week had made it to 392 stations throughout the US and Canada. By November 1976, the album had sold over a million copies and has since sold nearly 20 million copies to date, making it one of the fastest selling and most successful debut albums of all time. Will the record catch on with the boys? Come along and find out!

VUOLA is a psychedelic rock project of a Finnish drummer, producer and studio manager Jussi Vuola. In his music there's a shimmer in darkness, a touch in space, beauty in distortion and aspiration in despair. A history of growing with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the like is being shaped with low tunings, vibration and chanting on his concept album, based both on geometrics and syntax. The anticipated, esoteric, heavy hitting album ”Alouv” is coming out in spring 2022. "These are the fruits of the beautiful summer I spent under the sun and stars, in peace and harmony, surrounded by the people I love” — Jussi Vuola On March 17th, 2022, the first single, "Under Above Orion Venus Loves" was released. Like the rest of the forthcoming album, Jussi handles all instruments in the studio. He will take a cue from rock legend, Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) and pick up the guitar and sing during live performances. "I was privileged to spend the entire summer of 2021 to write music premised on a vision that appeared to me in a dream, some time ago," said Jussi. "In August 2021, I booked my own commercial music studio for 2 weeks, to record and produce my own album, the first I've done in 10 years. I had produced, engineered, mixed, mastered, released and played on a lot of albums, and thus, given my part to the music community. This time I had the opportunity to do something completely different - for me, myself and I, only. These are the fruits of the beautiful summer I spent under the sun and stars, in peace and harmony, surrounded by the people I love. Recorded with a little help from my friends. Processed by the best professionals in the world." The second single “Laugh Vivid Often Adore Unity” was released on 20th of April 2022. It paints a picture of an unearthly reunion beyond life and gives hope to this one. It is dedicated to Vuola's sister losing her husband to cancer recently, way too early. Musically the single is an inter textual salute to the giants of the past. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page as well as Tom Scholz of Boston are credited, too. Watch the 1st video: https://youtu.be/FD_sjrKDh-MWatch the 2nd video: https://youtu.be/M5Wo8cvQ7eY All proceeds of the album will be donated to the victims of the Ukraine war during year 2022 via Unicef.

ABOUT JUSSI VUOLA: Jussi Vuola has played drums since his teenage years in a variety of acts, including the Finnish bands The Grammers, Mystons, Willie & The Goodsouls and Achiote, to name a few. In 2010 he put together an analog recording studio in Turku, Finland that has become a home for a lot of acts. Hundreds of gigs around the globe, tens of albums he has played on, and hundreds of releases he has taken part of production on, have shaped him to the person he is today. Over the years, it became clear it was time for him to make a move downstage. In 2022, he is leading a talented five-piece under his own name to venues, with himself on vocals & guitar.

My best known credit, so far, is co-writing the MCA multi-platinum hit single “I Need Your Love" with Tom Scholz of the band Boston. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and grew up there and in Brazil and Colombia. All that traveling exposed me to many ethnic and popular music styles at a very early age. Music was everywhere!  My musical journey has taken me from teenage garage band madness (I signed my first record contract at age 14), to busking country blues on the streets of Europe and the US, to performing with Chuck Berry, The Coasters, The Drifters, The Shirelles, Brian Highland, Cheech Marin and Little Anthony. I was also a member of Berkeleys' pop reggae band The Shakers, 50's/60's show band Johnny Baron and the Bel Aires, and a founding partner with the international touring production show Abbacadabra. My latest project is a tribute to one of my all-time heroes, the legendary blues icon Howlin' Wolf.

In episode 72 of Behind The Song, Janda unpacked the history of “Foreplay/Longtime” by Boston, and the incredible story of how Boston founder Tom Scholz persevered against all odds to create the sound of Boston on his own terms. Scholz, an MIT graduate with an engineering degree, went on to form his own technology company, and created The Rockman, a portable amp that impacted the sound of rock music in the 80's and early 90's. Dive deeper into the story of Scholz and his invention in this bonus episode of Behind The Song.

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. Host Janda Lane digs into the incredible story of Boston in this episode of the Behind The Song podcast.

Leftoverture is the fourth and most commercially successful studio album by Kansas.  Formed out of a complex merger between a band called Saratoga and a prog rock outfit called White Clover, Kansas takes its name from the band's state of origin, as their start was in Topeka.  The band consisted of Steve Walsh (keyboards, vibraphone, vocals), Kerry Livgren (electric guitar and keyboards), Robby Steinhardt (violin, viola, vocals), Rich Williams (electric and acoustic guitars), Dave Hope (bass), and Phil Ehart (drums).Kansas had achieved some success with their first three albums, but had failed to have a hit single.  As the record company began applying pressure to the band to secure a hit, Steve Walsh began to experience writers block.  Much of the songwriting for Leftoverture fell to guitarist Kerry Livgren, who wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the album.  On the last rehearsal day, he contributed one more song, "Carry On Wayward Son," which would become the groups first hit.The album itself continues a progressive streak established by prior albums through pieces like the multi-part, 8+ minute closing track, "Magnum Opus," but brings a more accessible commercial appeal through songs like "The Wall" and "Carry On Wayward Son."  This album and the follow-up "Point of Know Return" would push Kansas into national prominence for arena tours and on the Album-Oriented Rock scene.Creative differences would eventually drive several members to split from the group in the 80's, but the band would reform by 1985 and continues to tour as of 2021.  Carry On Wayward SonThe  hook-laden opening track features Kerry Livgren on lead vocals.  Livgren wrote the track and considered this song a continuation of the song "The Pinnacle" from their previous album.  The WallNot released as a single, this introspective track is a deep cut both from a commercial and spiritual standpoint.  Livgren was in the process of becoming a Christian at the time, and while not written with an overtly Christian message you sense the searching nature regardless.What's On My MindThis jam features violinist Robby Steinhardt on vocals, and has a theme of a break-up.  The singer is recounting the path of the relationship.  "Pardon me, my feelings are showing.  I'm only saying what's on my mind."Miracles Out of NowhereThis song has Steinhardt and Livgren swapping off on lyrics.  There is a mystical, fantasy feel that hearkens to their prog-rock roots.  "Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign.  All my life, I knew that it was mine.  It's always here, it's always there, it's just love and miracles out of nowhere."  And you can't go wrong ending the song with a gong! ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television series “Charlie's Angels""Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy."  And Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors would grace posters around the US for some time. STAFF PICKS:Smokin' by BostonBruce launches the staff picks with a rocking number never released as a single.  Nevertheless, it is well known from Boston's debut album, as is virtually every track on that masterpiece.  Brad Delp and Tom Scholz co-wrote this song as part of the "Mothers' Milk" demos from 1973.  Rock 'n' Rollers  by AngelWayne's tune is off the eponymously named first album by Angel.  It is a straightforward rock song about attending a rock concert.  Gene Simmons of Kiss discovered the band who dressed all in white.  The Angel logo was made as an ambigram, so it looked the same either right side up or upside down. Roxy Roller by Nick Guilder and Time MachineRob's glam rock staff pick is from Nick Guilder, better known for "Hot Child in the City."  Four versions of this song came out in 1976, this one and three from three different lead singers of the band Sweeny Todd, one of which was a teenager named Bryan Adams.Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster CultBrian's pick is famous as the song with more cowbell!  Buck Dharma received a lot of criticism for this song from people who believed it encouraged suicide.  In reality it was about not fearing death - not living because of being anxious about the end of life.  The spirit carries on.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Magnum Opus by KansasThis double dipping instrumental is the first movement of an 8-minute epic off Leftoverture.  It's subtitle is "Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat."  We'll just leave it there.

Join Eric Hemion & Lloyd Moss as they discuss the song "Peace of Mind" from the Legendary Tom Scholz and his band Boston.   We'll talk about the unique sound that Tom was able to get out of all his contraptions in his home studio as well as the significance of the Album and what it meant to both of us.Next two Upcoming episodes in July....AC/DC Back In Black, Peter Gabriel's Mercy Street!

El primer álbum de la banda Boston fue creado en su mayoría en el estudio casero de Tom Scholz, un graduado en ingeniería que trabajaba en Polaroid. Scholz envió sus demos a todas las grandes discográficas estadounidenses, y solo recibió respuesta de Epic Records. Cuando descubrieron que Boston no era una banda, si no el trabajo de una persona en su sótano, los directivos de Epic exigieron que se volviese a grabar el álbum con una banda al uso en un estudio profesional. Mientras la banda mataba el tiempo en el estudio de Los Angeles, Scholz se quedó en casa, grabando el mismo álbum de nuevo. El tema ʽMore Than A Feelingʼ ayudó a que el álbum ʽBostonʼ vendiese medio millón de copias pocas semanas después de su publicación, en agosto de 1976. En 1977, había vendido 2 millones de copias, y ya era Disco de Platino.

They had one of the top-selling debuts of all time, but that couldn't spare them from legions of critics who considered them corporate rock, emotionless radio fodder, and not even a real band. Our co-host Joe explains why, to the contrary, Boston may be one of the greatest American rock bands ever.

(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).

Episode 9 takes a look back at the career and music of Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, and their band: Boston. We discuss how Tom Scholz built Boston's first album in his homemade studio, the monster success of their first three albums, and how the band carried on after losing one of it's most important members. The discussion around Brad Delp's tragic death is pretty heavy, so just be warned about that. Otherwise, this is a celebration of a phenomenal band led by a truly innovative guitarist: Tom Scholz.

Today I sit down with one of my favorite guitar players from the Bay Area Mr Gary Pihl. Gary has been playing professionally for almost his entire life. I first saw Gary back around late 1979 when he was playing guitar in Sammy Hagar's band. Gary immediately became one of my favorite players back then with his Gibson SG Special. I must have seen Gary play in Sammy's band 10 times in and around the Bay Area. I never missed Hagar live all the way up until he joined Van Halen. After Sammy joined Van Halen Gary was asked by Tom Scholz to join Boston and he's been in the band since 1986. Gary's story is fantastic and I think you guys are really gonna dig this episode. So much great Bay Area love on this one. This episode is brought to you by Avocado Green Mattress company. Use the link https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com   

Episode 15, Introduction: "SPAMP!, Rockman, and Tom Scholz' Proper World View" by Spoken Word with Electronics

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.”

ROCK TALK WITH MITCH LAFON presents Boston singer, Tommy DeCarlo. Tommy discusses his journey to becoming Boston's lead singer, his new DeCarlo 'Lightning Strikes Twice' album, working with his son on music, working at Home Depot, being a part of Boson's Life Love & Hope album, Boston's decision to record their version of the Canadian National Anthem, Tom Scholz, The song he wrote in the memory of Brad Delp, what's next for Boston, and more.  Quote: Boston: "It's really about the music. The main focus is THE music and performing it the best that we can." Tom Scholz: "People have invented amazing things, but to invent a SOUND. Tom created a sound that when you hear it, you know what it is. Nobody has to tell you it's Boston, you just know it is."

Henry and Mark talk about Bostons debut self-titled album Boston. A wonderful record that can be discussed for hours. Deeply listen to the record and you will see why it is their favorite classic rock record of all time. It's time to give Tom Scholz and Brad Delp the credit they deserve!

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 !!!

This epic episode is comprised of two music icons… Boston and Elton John! Joe & Toby explore the sounds of “More Than A Feeling” and the original sample taken from Elton’s 1973 hit song.  What we geek out over in this episode: Everything Elton John (a.k.a. Reg), bandmates Elton Dean and Long John Baldry (1966 Bluesology), Dr. Robotnik, lyricist Bernie Taupin, Tom Scholz & iconic band Boston, Polaroids & Hey Ya!, Mixolydian mode, and Samantha vs. Amanda. 

Gary Pihl is the lead guitarist for rock trio Alliance consisting of former guest Robert Berry on lead vocals, keyboards and bass, and drummer David Lauser.Raised in the suburbs of Chicago for the first 12 years of his life, Gary Pihl relocated to the San Francisco Bay area.  At 19, Gary had his recording debut with Day Blindness in 1969. He says, “After my time in Day Blindness, I was in a band called Fox with Roy Garcia and Johnny V (Vernazza), who went on to play in Elvin Bishop’s band.  We were on shows with Free (with Paul Rogers), Janis Joplin, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Eric Burdon and War and Mose Allison.” Pihl’s first big break in came in 1977, when he joined Sammy Hagar’s band, where he toured and recorded for 8 years. Gary met Tom Scholz when Hagar was opening for BOSTON between ’77 and ’79. In 1985, Sammy joined Van Halen, however, Pihl didn’t miss a beat. He explains, “Tom called me up when he was working on the Third Stage album, he had one more song left to be recorded and asked me if I’d come out to work with him on it. As it turned out, I flew directly from Farm Aid (my last gig with Hagar) to Boston, so I wasn’t out of work for a day. I thought, how lucky could a guy get?” Gary's Website Facebook

The band Boston might be the most overplayed on radio.

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.

ABOUT GARY PIHL Gary does it all: guitars, work in the recording studio, live shows on the road and the architect of the band BOSTON website. He'll provide backup vocals on the 2016 40th Anniversary BOSTON tour. He has been a member of BOSTON since 1985 and is the longest recurring member of Tom Scholz' recording and touring band. GARY PIHL (pronounced "Peel") Raised in the suburbs of Chicago for the first 12 years of his life, Gary Pihl relocated to the San Francisco Bay area and has led a musical life ever since. He explains, “I was in several bands in high school. One of our guitar players told me about a guy who was really good and giving guitar lessons at the local music store. He was in a band named The Warlocks. We went to see them play at a local pizza parlor. A couple months later they changed their name to the Grateful Dead. The guitarist giving us lessons was Jerry Garcia.” At 19, Gary had his recording debut with Day Blindness in 1969. He says, “After my time in Day Blindness, I was in a band called Fox with Roy Garcia and Johnny V (Vernazza), who went on to play in Elvin Bishop’s band. We were really fortunate to get to be on some shows with bands we looked up to including opening at the Fillmore for Free (with Paul Rogers). We were on shows with Janis Joplin, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Eric Burdon and War and Mose Allison.” Gary spent four years in a band called Crossfire. He recalls, “Mitchell Froom was our organist. He’s gone on to be a great producer (Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Los Lobos, Crowded House, Suzanne Vega, Sheryl Crow, etc.). We were opening some shows for Norman Greenbaum (Spirit in the Sky) when he was performing as a singer/songwriter on acoustic guitar. We had done our set and left the stage to Norman. He was halfway through his set when we noticed the audience was getting restless and wanted him to rock out. In the middle of one of Norman’s songs, our drummer, Steve Jones, got back on stage and started playing! Norman turned around in shock. Then he looked at the rest of us on the side of the stage and waved us up. We’d seen him about a half dozen times so we sort of knew his songs. Mitchell and his brother David (our pianist) have perfect pitch and were telling me and our bassist what the chords were as we went along. The crowd seemed to dig it and we ended the show with a rocked out version of Spirit in the Sky.” Pihl’s first big break in came in 1977, when he joined Sammy Hagar’s band, where he toured and recorded for 8 years. Gary met Tom Scholz when Hagar was opening for BOSTON between ’77 and ’79. In 1985, Sammy joined Van Halen, however, Pihl didn’t miss a beat. He explains, “Tom called me up when he was working on the Third Stage album, he had one more song left to be recorded and asked me if I’d come out to work with him on it. I was thrilled! It was a dream come true for me to work with one of the greatest bands of all time! I would have crawled on my hands and knees from California to get to work with BOSTON. As it turned out, I flew directly from Farm Aid (my last gig with Hagar) to Boston, so I wasn’t out of work for a day. I thought, how lucky could a guy get? He told me that there would probably be some touring involved if the album did well, which it did and basically I’m still here.” Tom and Gary traded studio leads on “I Think I Like It,” a high-energypower tune that showcases how well these two virtuosos complement one another. The two of them, who could pass for brothers, are a natural pair on stage. In addition to lead guitar, Gary also plays electric and acoustic 12-string guitar, keyboards, as well as lends backing and harmony vocals. photo credit Kamal Asar Gary quickly became indispensable to Tom’s BOSTON efforts. This quintessential multi-tasker has been Scholz’s right-hand man for over 20 years, serving as Vice President of Scholz Research and Development, assisting in building Tom’s Hideaway Studio II, and is a crucial part of the massive technical undertaking of managing the stage equipment on a BOSTON tour, including all of the back line and audio equipment. He also manages tech people, teaches band performers their parts, organizes rehearsals, integrates the “front of house” sound company system and personnel. Scholz wouldn’t tour without Pihl, saying, “I’d be lost without him. Gary’s the only other person on tour that has a thorough understanding of the complex audio productions systems that turn the efforts of 7 musicians and singers into the perfectly mixed stereo sound coming out the the sound system. That includes everyone, the road crew and the sound reinforcement technicians.” As Kimberley Dahme puts it, “In my opinion, he is the glue that holds BOSTON together. He works with us individually for hours on end, and assists Tom solving all of the problems that come up. He cares. I am so thankful to him, he is amazing. I don’t have enough good things to say about Gary.” Pihl is an expert professional photo editor, and did all of the editing for the graphics that were required for Corporate America as well as the remastered Boston and Don’t Look Back CD’s. He’s one of those rare people that has a gift for music and highly technical talents,” states Tom. Drummer Jeff Neal adds, ” Gary is the most consistent player out there, night after night, you can count on Gary to bring his ‘A’ game. His style is really an excellent blend of great technical ability but also wonderful feel. It ‘ s a standard that young players today should aspire to reach.” Although the majority of his talent is innate, some was acquired. Gary explains, “My dad always told me to do whatever you want, be the best you can and go to school to learn how. I reminded him that they don’t teach Rock and Roll in college but he said, ‘If you love music, then find out all you can about it.’ He took me to the local college and made me sign up. Of course once I got started, I loved it. No, they didn’t teach Rock and Roll, but it gave me a great foundation and a better understanding of music. In one of my choral classes I was sitting next to another kid out of high school just trying to learn about music. It was Johnny Colla, who went on to play sax with Huey Lewis and the News. You never know who you’ll end up sitting next to in school.” In addition to his BOSTON ventures, he still finds time to let his creative energy fly. He says, “I’ve enjoyed working with some friends on a “project band” called Alliance. It’s Dave Lauser from Sammy Hagar’s band, Alan Fitzgerald from Night Ranger, and Robert Berry from 3. It’s a mix of all our favorite styles from Blues to Prog rock.” Alliance has released three albums to date. “Robert Berry and I are also in a band called December People. We do traditional holiday songs but in the style of different rock bands. We do Joy to the World as if the Who were playing it, Santa Claus is Coming to Town like ZZ Top might play it. You get the idea. It’s a lot of fun and every show we do is a benefit for a local charity, usually a food bank.” A long-time vegetarian like the late Brad and Tom Scholz, Gary resides in a suburb of Boston with his wife and two sons. Five Things You May Not Know About Gary Pihl: 1.Award winning photographer. Someone told me that the Sonoma County Fair had an arts competition and photography was one division. I entered three of my photos and one took First Place (black and white landscape) and another placed third (kids and cows). 2. Took guitar lessons from Jerry Garcia I was a teenager when the other guitarist in my band recommended a guitar teacher in the next town who was in a band called the Warlocks. We took some lessons from him and saw his band play at Magoo's Pizza Parlor. They soon changed their name to the Grateful Dead and Jerry stopped giving lessons. 3. Mother worked in same office as Bruce Springsteen's mother. Father worked in same office as J. Geils' father. I had forgotten that my mother had worked with another mom with a teenage son who was a guitar player in the 1960s. She mentioned it years later, "Well, didn't Adele's son, Bruce, do well?". 4. Climbed to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite park at age 60. I've been to Yosemite National Park many times but never considered something as difficult as climbing the iconic peak of Half Dome until I read that there was a trail to the top. I figured I'd better do it while I still can. It was the longest and highest trek I've ever done. 5. Plays guitar with December People where we do Christmas songs in the styles of classic rock bands for food bank charities. I get together with other guys from famous bands and play songs like "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" as if ZZ Top had written it, "White Christmas" like Billy Idol's "White Wedding", etc. Lots of fun for a good cause. www.bandboston.com

Color Three are Gary Pihl (pronounced peel), Kimberley Dahme (pronounced dom) and Jeff Neal. They met as members of the rock band BOSTON and have toured together since 2003. Gary's been with BOSTON since 1985 when his former gig in the Sammy Hagar Band ended when Sammy went on to sing in Van Halen. Gary and Tom Scholz (founder and chief songwriter/producer of BOSTON) found Kimberley as a singer/songwriter and recruited her as a bass player for the band. Her poignant song, "With You", with her singing lead vocal, is a featured track on the BOSTON CD, Corporate America. Tom spotted Jeff Neal performing in a local band and was a terrific find. He's a singing drummer/songwriter in the vein of Phil Collins and Don Henley. Color Three came to be a band as a result of the three musicians' desire to perform some charity concerts and to compose, record and perform live together outside of the scope of their other bands. Their combined songwriting talents have created a uniquely original sound that blends all their former experience, from Gospel to Pop to Metal, into a melodic pastiche with three part harmony. The debut Color Three album will be released this summer. Besides the songs they've written themselves, they've collaborated with some other platinum selling songwriters like Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Mark Slaughter, and alt country artist, Anthony Smith. The recordings were made just the way the band performs the songs live - three instruments, three voices. Featuring a surprisingly textured sound, some listeners have described Color Three as Fleetwood Mac meets U2. WWW.COLORTHREE.COM
