BOSTON: Rehearsal Recording Featuring MICHAEL SWEET Available

September 15, 2007

BOSTON guitarist/leader Tom Scholz has issued the following update:

"We are trying to repair and mix the audio recording of BOSTON's performance at the Brad Delp tribute show [which was held on August 19 at the Bank Of America Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts]. For unknown reasons, BOSTON's gear was moved and uncabled following our soundcheck. This, coupled with a minimal set change time, resulted in numerous technical problems during our performance, and even necessitated starting the set without Michael Sweet's [STRYPER singer; one of the guest musicians appearing at the event] guitar. Because there are missing or damaged tracks that will be troublesome in a stereo mixdown, this may require considerable effort in our studio, which is set up exclusively for BOSTON recording, editing and mixing. Two recordings were made — one into our normal live taping system and one into a professional A/V company computer. We have been unable to get the computer files converted to a form that can be used in our system. The recording on our own tape was reduced to an unacceptable level due to the interconnection with all the additional show and A/V gear. There was insufficient time to check and reset these levels, or to perform a full line check before BOSTON took the stage. In the meantime, while we try to sort this out, we thought that we would share this version of 'More than a Feeling', from a rehearsal session. This is from the first time that Michael Sweet rehearsed with Tom, Gary [Pihl, guitar], Kimberley [Dahme, bass] and Jeff [Neal, drums] together. For your information, this was an informal stereo recording, and the mix levels and quality are not up to professional standards."

Check out the recording at this location (Quicktime required).
