I haven't heard him sing since the last time I watched a Welcome Back Kotter re-run! He seems to have quite a few shows booked. That's too bad about his voice.

I guess the man has bills to pay, but it's painful to hear him.

Sounds like a reunion of all reunions. 1 1

Scholz practically played all the instruments on the debut album in case one never bothered to identify him, he’s the tall and thin and non-facial haired guitar player in early photos Edited January 11, 2019 by row_33 1

I think the point is that Scholtz is the only remaining original member touring today. To Row's point, I grew up on Boston. Loved their stuff since I was 5 years old. But they were a studio band and, to your point, LOTS of overdubs with guitars and vocals. This is why they were not (at that time) a great LIVE band. I remember buying the Third Stage album. So excited they'd finally released new stuff. It was the last Boston album I ever bought. And Brad Delp's death was shocking and sad. 1

Tom has survived and now gets quality time in lawsuits good and bad, there were worse fates i guess I was 10 when the first LP came out, a perfect birthday gift and still one of my top listens.... the rest of the discography... mehhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
row_33 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------- It's a total insult to pretend to carry on with the band name after Blind Owl died just before Jimi and Janis, and the Bear died later on....

Gugny Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 A local radio station just posted a promotional poster for this event on Facebook. Friday's headliner is Greg Allman. I think they got duped, LOL.

Only performers from the original still around are Crosby Stills Nash & Young (Crosby said they haven't discussed doing it but would if Young said they will do it) and Santana I believe. http://thewvsr.com/the-woodstock-death-count/
row_33 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Michael Schrieve is almost 70, of course there are a lot of deaths in between Edited January 12, 2019 by row_33
Fr. Jerk Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I hope they get Insane Clown Posse on the lineup again. 1
