IMO, Brad Delp was a very under-rated singer. I was always impressed by his command of the upper register without sounding like he's singing falsetto. |

Wow! 55, too young. That was such a good band, Scholz was awesome, Delp was awesome, Goudreu was awesome, Fran Shehan was awesome.
Last time I checked that was still the biggest selling debut album in rock history!
STILL!
RIP Brad.

I had the privilege of meeting Brad Delp on several occasions and he was a genuinely nice guy and one HELL of a singer. Sad day for music.  |

My favorite album was the first. I use to stare at the cover and try and imagine the people on the "spaceship". But I digress. The band will never be the same. I would not be surprised if the band never records or performs again.

I've never seen that video for Don't Look Back. That was awesome. Thanks for the link.  |
