Alright there is some question about the Early & Late show thing actually happened. There is a listing for the Early & Late show set lists on Setlist.fm. I also found at concertarchives.org no listing for 2 shows on March 16 but 1 for the 16th and another on March 19. While others think that Disc 2 is just a better version of the March 16th show. I haven't listened to it that close (just in the background while cooking dinner to make sure it plays well). What I will say id that both discs sound great and it's classic Boston live so Enjoy!

So here we have another old friend with a new set of clothes. King Biscuit liked to revisit old shows, a money maker. No recording coasts, the shows already recorded. Just add some new commercials, distribute and there you go. So this is the 1990s Remastered Version of their classic Boston broadcast. I would say that the new master is what they call "Modern Loud" with compression to keep it from clipping. The show sounds real good at high volume and Boston did Rock the house so enjoy my friends

As we continue to pay Tribute To Rosebud's Favorite Singers, we have to mention Brad Delp of Boston. Boston would have sounded so different if Brad Delp never sang for them. His voice is just so perfect for the aural assault imagined by Tom Scholz. The "Boston Sound" was layer upon layer of multi-tracked guitars and vocals to give a full and polished studio sound. They sought to recreate this sound on stage. With Tom Scholz's custom built amps & effects they were pretty successful.

I can remember the first time I heard Boston. I came home from school, went to my room to do my home work. I turned on my stereo and hit FM while I looked through my albums for something to say yeah pick me. I grabbed my copy of The Doors 13, a great compilation, and started to put it on when I heard the start of "Foreplay/Long Time". I was blown away to say the least. After hearing the organ in that medley I put away The Doors and threw on Uriah Heep's Greatest Hits. I had to hear Ken Hensley make his organ growl, howl and scream after that. I went out and bought Boston's 1st album with my saved allowance money. I caught them live on the Don't Look Back Tour. They kicked ass live. I can't remember who opened for them either. They were that kind of live band though, so damn good you would forget who ever played with them that night. Rosebud never caught the band live unfortunately, with this show in her collection at least she can hear them!
