That time I asked Brad Delp what his fave Boston tune was and he didn’t say “More Than a Feeling”

By Steve Newton

I was still a guitar-rock-crazed teenager when the debut Boston album came out in 1976, so it’s not surprising that the first single “More Than a Feeling” blew me right the funk away.

Even today the killer guitar sound of Tom Scholz and the incredible vocals of Brad Delp still make me crank that baby up on the car radio.

Sadly, Delp took his own life in 2007, at the age of 55, but I was fortunate enough to have interviewed him back in December of 1988, when Boston was in the midst of a winter Canadian tour.

At one point in the conversation I asked him which Boston tune was his personal fave, totally thinking that he might agree with me that “More Than a Feeling” is tops.

Wrong-O, Steve-O.
