Boston: Walk on - Flawless Cut (no sudden audio cuts)

I listen to this song all the time. It's one of my favorites. But the one thing that gets to me is the little sections of silence in between the individuals songs (in case you weren't aware, this whole medley is four songs combined into one). So I decided to edit out the silence and mash it all together into one, flawless, seamless, listening experience.
(This video is basically just for me, but if you like it, more power to you!)

If you're lucky, tears of gratitude will fill your eyes. This is a powerful piece and Boston is likely the only ones who could've made it.

[@TRich-yc4ou]

He actually was still around for the creation of this album, as well as the greatest hits in 1997 and Corporate America in 2002. He has writing credits on this song, and his voice can be heard singing harmony with Fran Cosmo, as well as backup vocals in different spots during the song. He was busy with his RTZ side project when this album was recorded, thus he didn't have much input on it.

[@scissors656]

he did sing lead on the following 2 albums.

[@bradsmith1362]

Brad was still very alive. He wss just on outs with Tom.

[@AnthonyT50]

Tom was trained in classical music at a young age which is why his music always reminded me of the classical masters like Bach and Beethoven. The same song structure that mystified audiences in the 1700's is in play here when Boston burst on the scene in 1976.

[@cuttingthechord1419]

This medley was actually a variation on the theme of the extended live version of Smokin back in the 70s. The absence of Brad Delp may have led some to believe this was the end of Boston, but a year after Delp left to join Barry Goudreau and RTZ, Scholz started work on the Walk On album.

[@machineryman7197]

I can definitely hear the similarities. About the time when Tom was playing that huge pipe organ.

[@GmenAgain]

can you source that? because that's not what Tom says as far as i know.

[@jfisch]

That makes sense because I swear parts of this song sound like Smokin, and the first time I heard it, I was kind of confused.

[@sheatiller2465]

@@GmenAgain Look up Smokin' live in Long Beach, or Smokin' live at Giant's Stadium 1979, and both have some of the same themes here.

[@scootterpootter]

Brad Delp helped to write the two sections of the medley with lyrics (Walk On, and Walk On (Some More). The album was started when Brad was still in the band. The Barry Goudreau album was long before Walk On was started (1980 or 81). RTZ was done when Brad left Boston, after Third Stage and the tour were finished. I've got several of the live recordings, Long Beach (the full show), Jones Beach, Giant Stadium, etc... and none if them have anything like Walk On during Smokin'. The is an extended, incredible solo during Smokin, but nothing like this. They did do a long improv sorta song called She's a Looker, but that was a blues song that was awesome. They did a very long improv part in the middle of More Than A Feeling. I can hear little parts that could be in the WO Medley, but not much.
