I'm not going to slag Boston (too much) as I still remember what a big deal it was to get their second LP when I was in junior high. (Anyone who tells you that they grew up listening to Joy Division from 10 year old on is lying). Brad Delp, who was the voice of Boston, committed suicide last year so now the band is touring with Michael Sweet from Stryper on vocals along with Tommy DeCarlo who was 'found' after he posted some cover versions of Boston tunes to his MySpace page.

People make fun of the two LA Guns lineups that are touring under the same name but it doesn't get much lower than this...Boston, featuring one original member along with the vocalist from Stryper plus some random fan who sort of sings like Brad Delp.

I'm surprised that Boston is still playing some decent sized venues. Here are the area tour dates:
Aug. 01 - Big Flats, NY - Summer Stage
Aug. 10 - Holmdel, NJ - PNC Bank Center
Aug. 15 - Atlantic City, NJ - Tropicana Casino and Resort
