Brad Delp, In Memoriam

Love that wall of sound and those seventies afros. And what’s with that cave-man vest on the drummer?

Here’s more “More Than A Feeling,” Scrubs style.

I heard the news at 7:45 PST tonight. It came as a shock to me. Boston was the first rock band that I really became fanatical about at the impressionable, young age of just 8! My next door neighbor’s older sister was a big fan and had the first Boston LP from 1976 and me and my neighbor from next door would sneak up into her room and play the record when she was away. I was absolutely mesmerized by the sound; a very distinct and unique sound that was created by Tom Scholz and Barry Giedrieaux and lyricized by the incredible voice of Bradley Delp. My mom and dad had a garage sale one Saturday and gave me the money from any and all junk that I was willing to part with. I took the money and purchased the 1st Boston LP, just 3 months before the 2nd LP, “Don’t Look Back” was released in the Spring of 1978. Needless to say, I had to beg my mom and dad to buy me that album if I promised to never ever fight with my brother again. Lucky for me, I was able to close them on something so implausable. Where most kids in my formative years found their rock geekistry in Kiss, mine was with Boston. It wasn’t until 1995 that I was able to witness Boston perform live at Irvine Meadows Ampitheater in Laguna Hills, CA; the one and only time I ever saw them perform. The only original members in the band were Brad Delp and Tom Scholz, but it didn’t matter to me; the music was timeless. Tonight, I remember fondly the great voice of Bradley Delp, and celebrate his contribution to rock music.

Annika…thanks.

Was saddened earlier today to see this. I lamented to a friend that I guess I am getting to the age where more of my rock icons are dying off.

More Than a Feeling is one of my favorite songs of all time. It defined my summer between 7th and 8th grade. And it is still one of my 5 favorite songs to listen to on headphones (with the sound cranked up to 11).

And Annika…that is my FAVORITE Scrubs clip. I haven’t watched your Tube yet, but I love that line…

“Sometimes it’s good to listen to those who know you best. Because if you do, you might just get to ROCK.”

RIP Brad…

I saw the Eagles at Irvine Meadows. Wonderful venue.
