One of the best voices in rock history met his untimely death today. Brad Delp of Boston found dead today at the age of 55.
Boston was a staple of my high school life, particulary as it realted to my days playing hockey. Boston was always fixture in the locker room before games and on bus rides to long away games. Being local, I'll always have a fond spot in my heart for them.
What's coincidental is I loaded Phish's 7/12/99 show on my iPod this morning; the show where the band returned to Great Woods after four years, and opened with Boston's Foreplay/Longtime. I haven't listened to it in years prior to today. Weird timing. You can download it here.
The offical Boston web site, has a simple statement on his death: "We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."
Don't look back.
