Lineage: Original, silver CD bootleg on the SuperSonic Lable (99003 SS) ---> EAC ---> WAV ---> FLAC (Level 8)

Tech NoteThis show was seeded on DIME some months back, but mine is ripped from the original silver CD pressing. The SuperSonic bootleg label put out a gem of a product with this show. Not only is the sound quality out of this world, but the artwork is stunning as well. There were not many made, but if you ever come across it...snatch it up! I paid a nice amount of money for mine and I frankly can't believe I'm sharing it here on DIME, but that's what I'm doing. This show was allegedly taken from the WMMS radio station vaults by a disgruntled employee and sold to the bootleg label. To that criminal, I have this to say - THANK YOU! That is the alleged story, whether it's true or not I don't know, but it made it's way out of WMMS somehow. The performance itself is truly remarkable. It was recorded only a few weeks into the tour for the debut album and shows a band giving their absolute all. Brad Delp sounds great! Sholtz and Goudreau trade leads frequently and the fireworks they create are spectacular. Bass player Sheehan and drummer Hashian, hold down the grooves well throughout and contribute serviceable background vocals as well. Considering Sholtz played almost everything on the studio record himself and Delp did lead and background vocals, the parts are covered very well by the live band. Though, the background vocals can't match 4 or 5 overdubbed Delps. Highlights include a very early version of "A Man I'll Never Be", (which would later appear on the Don't Look Back album) and a blistering version of "Foreplay/Long Time" as well as a few gems that never made it on their studio albums. All in all, a hell of a show and one that no Boston fan should be without! - Ryan "Lil King" b80316480be40a1a0e16f96d6d4aad24 *01-Rock & Roll Band.flac 4d288c333988edb1871ba32f96539272 *02-Help Me.flac 107379afbf02d3634dda64932333fb3c *03-Peace Of Mind.flac 44dac2d890f81d5cbcf8226324872cde *04-Something About You.flac 390b3cd35b5f712d8e9aa8c3249fc1f0 *05-A Man I'll Never Be.flac a91edbc45e9fba879de46bbb538faa92 *06-Smokin'.flac 80231481a0837cd569d275ea19962412 *07-Foreplay.flac ece719c634e54df486988ca850ea8af7 *08-Long Time.flac c24436ab33cc71a1e0ee5dcf275483c4 *09-Don't Be Afraid.flac c6506d85800d5b981601f421d0e5152a *10-More Than A Feeling.flac 991bcf309723d3f9b96e728c34ea63b5 *11-Television Politician.flac No errors occured. 01-Rock & Roll Band.flac:a60e9b34b3fd0a36949aeb653a626d08 02-Help Me.flac:02c120cbb88ca35f01f13f478fcffd07 03-Peace Of Mind.flac:1217cea9260e0f9d139011040fa27f28 04-Something About You.flac:48eaf2606f8761615a3e678ded1a2004 05-A Man I'll Never Be.flac:53d4e332b0fd310d18a85da92540c211 06-Smokin'.flac:b438d6bcfa586e409a492ee32497cc52 07-Foreplay.flac:463db6b085b2f1cb7b2321110c26b9e6 08-Long Time.flac:9e8f45889b79b1096d283df515c9b09e 09-Don't Be Afraid.flac:74218ead8f644d21ae9872ac62ff3c1b 10-More Than A Feeling.flac:b9bbc62fec23337f070a4851b07c12eb 11-Television Politician.flac:df7e4f74e4bc645f59df987014101404 No errors occured.
