One of my FAVORITE SONGS of ll-time...and one of the greatest solos ever!

[@showtime4243]

Boston is one of my favorites and I think this singer does a fantastic job of capturing what Brad was like 30 years ago....Boston concert is a must see for any music lover...they rock !!! Tom is out of this world talented and the rest of the bands is awesome...!

[@christianobrien4465]

Just too good!!!!!!!

[@trailrunner919]

Just found this gem and it made my day seeing Tom play my favorite Boston song and one of my all-time favorite leads in rock...thank you!!!

[@RG-ja34sep]

There WILL NEVER BE another Brad Delp. However the vocalist here deserves a lot of credit!

[@Alien300Blackout]

Brad was definitely unique but this guy is absolutely incredible give him the respect he deserves

[@Alex1552project]

Boston was my very first concert at Cobo Arena in Detroit….1979……the best days

[@markfenwick3085]

Tommy does an excellent job and Tom Scholz is a genius! Maybe the most brilliant mind in rock n roll!!!

[@whisky2roxy]

Yes, there's a thousand people that can play this guitar solo. But there's only one that came up with it.

[@damnyankeefl]

this is great. I like watching concerts I was at years later.. thanks ,

[@christophermotyka5384]

Brad was a musical genius R.I.P. Sir you're missed by millions not many can say that.

[@williamjueschke9960]

My favorite Boston song, nice job.

[@motoreynosa]

The best song, great guitar solo!

[@fil4648]

Goddammit he played the entire solo just like the record. How fucking talented is Tom Scholz, I wonder how much of this can be taught, and how much is just God given ability?

[@tonym50195]

Not a hard solo…

[@basher5107]

Music can be learned but natural ability is a gift that can’t be learned.

[@warrenrosenthal716]

@@tonym50195 Maybe not hard but oh so tasty!

[@ruthylopez]

@@tonym50195 LOL. Not a hard solo????? Then post a video of you hitting it note for note. I'll wait.......

[@robertaustin1945]

I sounds like he missed some notes

[@jeffreybretz8409]

This is only down 1/2 step from the original recording. They are not using a capo on the first fret, so the chord voicings are basically the same. Great job guys! This song is a lot tougher than it sounds.

[@Noneofyourbyisness]

You’re right about that !

[@TheScooter1963]

You guys amaze me. I wished I knew music other than to listen to it

[@OneTwo11Bravo]

Seen them in Philly at the Spectrum in 1977, I was in 8th grade.

[@trailrunner919]

Yeah I was there too and I think Foghat as well but it's a little foggy LOL!!!

[@kennyplay5982]

Look at all the electronic gear on stage!!!

[@pgestudio75]

And to think that nearly all of it was invented by the actual performer. That's insanely unheard of in the music business on that level.

[@pgestudio75]

🙌 Tom Scholz 🙌

[@comingbacktolife675]

Yes's King Tom Scholz Boston Sound Like Forever

[@fredsmith6324]

the two guitarists should stand next to each other during the final two-guitar solo.

[@johnh9507]

tom is a genius

[@jennijenni38]

great song !

[@christopherwood2290]

Scholz has bionic hair. 73 years old. Looks great.

[@newday2637]

Great classic

[@martel732]

so satisfying!

[@Rock7132]

Tom rules.

[@user-rg1tu8qz9s]

Mi novio Tom Scholz ya nada más falta que baile tap en el escenario 😂😂😂 hace tooodo! Lo amo!!!

[@KAFKUBA]

Tom is crazy good

[@bradwilcox3625]

I was fortunate to see Boston a couple of times a very long time ago. I appreciate the new singers effort but he is just not brad.

[@barryjames9404]

Brad did not sound as good as Tommy does in his 40's and 50's and it breaks my heart to say this.

[@budmiller807]

Musically I couldn't agree more but he's no Brad

[@TexansForChrist]

Is that the "discovered" Home Depot guy? Big shoes to fill but well done

[@JohnnyB728601]

Are they still around? My top two bands, Boston and the Doobie Brothers

[@petenas4404]

Not brads pipes,thats why its tuned down!

[@wolffhd]

How many original members to you see . . . one.

[@davidstewart4310]

There only was 2 original members.

[@BaronKimball]

Pretty good

[@kennyplay5982]

Check out the HEATER as well right by Tom

[@zepp-tr8go]

Theres only one Brad Delp

[@jmanuellleon2294]

The Home Depot guy ☝️

[@Mooseboy08]

I don't think he has enough Rockmans up on stage there.

[@chrisduncan199]

The lead almost looks like David Grohl from Foo Fighters

[@jimzeleny7213]

So what's with "Sea Shepard" and the pitchfork?

[@SuperEcwchampion]

Tom supports the organization.

[@thebestian]

Bless his soul but Tom seems out of practice or having some difficulty. The whole vibe too...seems like a tour on a budget with the type of sonic landscape Boston songs can provide. Where's the 12 string even?

[@mcdude0192]

Hitch a ride isn't twelve string. In fact that guild acoustic he is playing is the same one he recorded the song with

[@thebestian]

@@mcdude0192 There is a twelve string in the song as well in the recording we hear on the radio. He probably used both. Rick beato does a good analysis on it that's really worth a watch if you're a boston fan like me.

[@bcoldwell1]

@@mcdude0192 there's a live KZbin version with Brad Delp on 12 string, though Tom S plays that intro on his Les Paul.. I think you do the best you can with what you have at the time. A really great cover is by Lexington Lab Band. Check that one out, it's fantastic.

[@whisky2roxy]

@@bcoldwell1 I've seen that one. The guitarists are phenomenal

[@cb24203]

Your ears are definitely broken 😂. Tom is having no trouble at all and he's 70-something years old. This sounds pretty dam great for a Iive version. And the only 12 string guitar on the studio version is buried in the mix. It can really only be heard when listening closely. The main acoustic intro is always played on a 6 string. The 12 string is on Gary Pihl's side of the stage. He plays it on "More than a Feeling". The reason it's not used on Hitch a Ride is because it's not as important to the song as the harmony guitar parts that Gary Pihl plays. "Tour on a budget" LOL 😂😂

[@chriswick7987]

Barry plays that solo better

[@Journxy27]

No, he definitely doesn't. I've watched both of them play it recently and Tom plays it way more accurately than Barry, I'm learning the song myself so I know what it looks like when properly played. Plus Tom is the one who wrote it.

[@KSE828]

Solo sounded really sloppy.

[@songwriterscove4515]

Maybe the mix was nasty, but I didnt feel it

[@gill2675]

Barry g played those leads
