"More than a Feeling"

[Anonymous]

Just so you are aware, here is the bands current line up per the official web site. Kimberly Dahme is lead singer, not the line up you are thinking of.

Current Line-up

Tom Scholz
Gary Pihl
Kimberley Dahme
Jeff Neal
Michael Sweet
Tommy DeCarlo

I'm afraid they need to update that "current" lineup on the website, as that is not it...

They have announced the 2014 tour but have NOT finalized the touring members for the act as of yet, so nobody knows who will take the stage.

As of the last performance in 2012, lead singer was actually Tommy DeCarlo. Kimberley Dahme was the bass player and backup vocalist on the 2012 Tour. Although she sings lead on a song she wrote that is on the second to the last album, DeCarlo (who looks a lot like Delp) sings lead and plays some of the organ parts. Michael Sweet (Stryper) was the lead singer following the Death of Brad Delp but hasn't been in the band since 2011.

For the record: All there has ever been is two, under-contract, members of the band Boston. Tom Scholz and Brad Delp. ALL the other musicians used for touring since the beginning of time have been borrowed from other bands. Saying only one original member is touring now is correct, as Delp committed suicide in 2007, but they have always just had two "original" members. Scholz hired a drummer to record the first and second albums but played every other instrument himself and Delp just did the singing. Weird, huh? The longest-standing "borrowed" band member is Gary Pihl the lead guitarist.

If I were a betting man, I'd say we are going to see Scholz, Pihl, and DeCarlo, for sure, but the rest are up in the air.

As for missing the Seattle Seahawks game to attend the concert? No way dude.

Go to the game.

Dear everyone that hasn't been around long enough to know Hawkstorian's sense of humor; He's trolling you. Most seem to understand that he's asking this facetiously as we know he wouldn't miss the game for anything short of the rapture (and even that would make him think about it) so for everyone gasping at the audacity that this would be a decision, he got you. Welcome to the club.

But seriously 'Storian, you should absolutely go to Boston. I hear they might have 38 Special come on for the encore, so you can't miss that!

Boston will be at a casino near you for the next decade.

Go to the season kickoff. #CmonMan

Should have locked the thread while you were at it.

I have another thread open at the Boston fan website, so I'll compare notes and make a decision.

Well .38 Special added in makes the decision a little tougher.

Throw in Molly Hatchet and it becomes a toss up

Meh, none of those bands could hold Geddy's Bass guitar strap.

Boston is outstanding, has always been one of my top 5 bands, and they put on a great show.

But there has never been any pretending that Boston was anything other than Tom Scholz's band.

Yes, Brad was the voice for the longest time, but he decided to 'opt out' so he gets no consideration from me (Yeah, it used to be Scholtz/Delp, but I'm still pissed at Delp, who in one selfish move turned the band's story into a caricature of everybody else's band...). Decarlo is a good voice for Boston.

I've seen them twice - both with Brad, and would again, but would not miss the opener for it.

But then, I don't have tickets to either, so maybe I'll watch the game from home and crank up to Boston at the same time.

I've never heard dying referred to as "opting out" before.

Must be the new "PC" terminology?

I have seen where Pat B has been at the casino there. Almost went to it in Spokane in combo with a visit with some friends.
Geddy???? :sarcasm_off:

It will be with Grace Under Pressure that we will be able to see Moving Pictures in 2112.

Only if we open our Power Windows, get out of the Subdivisions, put on our Kid Gloves and climb up to Zanadu using Jacob's Ladder, and avoid all the Snakes and Arrows spread throughout both Hemisheres.

"opt out" was the euphemism used in Walking Dead for those who chose suicide rather than go on. Delp killed himself by sealing himself into a bathroom with a charcoal grill.

He didn't just die - he left his corpse for his fiance to find. Dick move.

Storian whats there to think???You get to see the Super Bowl Champs banner raised for the 1st time and who knows if there will be another..It's not like your missing something you can't see again later(Boston)
