Before music became so prepackaged and set times slimmed down to accommodate casual listeners, rock bands would play just like Boston. Hours of songs you knew, songs you didn’t know and songs you wanted to know. There was no worry of how long the opener had to sell their new album, since they were on the same label as the headliner, it was just about the music, and for one night that was true again.

As you should expect from a seasoned rock band, there were plenty of great moments, whether it be guitarist/vocalist Tom Scholz using echo effects to ride out his guitar riffs while wiping his brow or vocalists Brad Delp and Fran Cosmo blending their vocals together perfectly.

Classic tunes like I Had a Good Time, Let Me Take You Home Tonight and More Than a Feeling set the night off, while newer tracks like Corporate America, which saw Scholz take lead vocals, gave people a chance to experience the band in all its forms.

If only more bands played concerts like this, concerts where the band lays it all out and progressively gets better through the night. With the current trend of the 75-minute set and the 2 song encore, bands only get warmed up for the last few songs, in this format, the band gets tighter and the kinks are all worked out right as everyone gets captivated, which is what a rock concert should do. Take notes kids.
