As a treat for Mark's birthday, the one and only Boon Gould joined the band on stage. By the end, it was like he'd never been away!

R.I.P Boon. A very sad day today 1st May 2019.

Boon looks so happy to be back on stage with his old pals Mark and Mike again one last time. You'd never guess that he suffered from depression for most of his life and would be diagnosed as bi-polar. It's such a shame what happened to him and the sudden and unespected news of his tragic early death was a huge shock to everyone. He is sorely missed. Rest in eternal peace, Boon.

Boon Gould - the only guy I've ever seen who could look like he'd never held a guitar before yet make playing one look so easy (if only). It takes a lot of talent to do that and Boon had it in spades; when the brothers left the band, something special left with them.
@darylchambers59454 жыл бұрын
Ha ha . Agreed. It does n`t help that he looks like my brother-in-law!!!
@seltaeb96917 ай бұрын
That's correct, when he solo'ed you'd hardly see his fingers move. He doesnt look great here, his suffering is on his sleeve. Great he could play one more time with L42. Tragic loss.

Look how ALIVE & Pumped both Mike & Mark look performing with Boon! (particularly Mike). They seem very happy to be reunited again it would seem. SUCH a great Band and SUCH great chemistry & talent.

First of all shame on all the thumbs down voters. You have no life or taste. I’m writing this as Boon has sadly died and I wanted to simply express how much of a talent he was. Plus if anybody wants to see how effortless it can be to play. Just watch Boon doing his thing. Amazing. I’m a lifer but sadly never had the pleasure of seeing boon playing live as I missed this one. Plus how happy and psyched up mark and mike are having boon back on stage they just look so damned happy. Living it up till the sun goes down. RIP Boon Gould. One of the best.

I want to add that Boon's one solo on Ships off Retroglide is pure class. I don't play guitar but how he builds up that solo is something that most guitarists can only dream about. Along with Alan Murphy and Jakko all those players have a real depth to their playing.

Boon's right hand [pluck hand!] is minimal wrist 'pluck staccato'. I've never seen anything like it. His forearm doesn't move when he plays and creates the ultimate 'tick tock' sound for the repetitive 'Heathrow' .... and then, he unleashes his solo, which makes you understand that he is a great player and not a 'pheasant plucker'.

Boon's solo.....bouncing from mixolydian to minor pentatonic. Nice. Because Boon was always an extrovert I always think 'go on, my son!' His solo structures aren't always following an arc or cadencing where perhaps they should but that's his style. He's unique, which therefore made him interesting. Especially as he was so tight, concise and disciplined for 98% of the time then his solos were often wild like an escaped boa constrictor, let loose at last. Bless 'im. What was next btw? Heathrow then what?
