Album Notes
Boston: Brad Delp (vocals); Tom Scholz (acoustic & electric guitars, piano, organ, bass, drums).Additional personnel: Gary Pihl (guitar); Jim Masdea (drums, percussion).Boston: Brad Delp (vocals), Tom Scholz (acoustic & electric guitars, piano, bass, organs, drums).Additional personnel: Jim Masdea (drums, percussion), Gary Pihl (guitar).All songs written or co-written by Tom Scholz except "A New World" (Jim Masdea).Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24 karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.During the eight-year hiatus between DON'T LOOK BACK, Boston's sophomore release, and 1986's THIRD STAGE, every member left the band, save guitarist/leader Tom Scholz and singer Brad Delp. And while many other '70s rock monsters struggled to stay afloat in the '80s, Boston had no problem making the transition. THIRD STAGE was another big hit, powered by the Top-10 power ballad "Amanda."Boston doesn't stray from its classic sound here. THIRD STAGE standouts such as "We're Ready," "Cool the Engines," and "Hollyann" pick up right where DON'T LOOK BACK left off. Fans hoping that they wouldn't have to wait as long for their next Boston fix were let down again. It would be another eight years before 1994's WALK ON hit the racks.

Boston-Third Stage

Created: 26/03/07
An epic journey of music about love and decency. I can't describe how touching this record(cd)is. It's not all the original members. Which is a shame, but we know how that goes. The track My Destination is possibly the saddest three minutes of music ever recorded. Props to Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, Gary Pihl, and Jim Masdea for this treasure. Brad, we love you and we will miss you, until we meet again.

Third Stage by Boston

8 Years. It took Boston 8 years to put out their third studio album, a follow up to their wildly successful self-titled debut album Boston, released in 1976, and their sophomore effort Don't Look Back released 2 years later in '78.

But now the year was 1986 and Boston had spent the last 6 of those 8 years off in preparation for this release. Third Stage, the last Boston album to feature Brad Delp as lead singer, is unquestionably the band's strongest, most concise, and far to often overlooked masterpiece.

A decade after they hit the scene with Boston, this band, who lost half of their original members by this point, had evolved and matured to a point where, despite taking 6 years to produce, they released an album that was so polished, so perfect in every note that it can truly be considered a timeless classic.

Where Boston was a hard(er) rocking, guitar-driven, power-happy monument to the talents of this group, and where Don't Look Back showed that the band could experiment yet still deliver that classic Boston sound, Third Stage takes a combination of both, but adds far more dramatically styled music behind beautifully orchestrated lyrics to deliver an album that easily appealed to the masses of existing Boston fans while certainly offering something new to those first-time listeners who were unfamiliar with their work (if there were any at the time).

finally the 3rd album!

Created: 16/04/08
Its a very good cd. Typical Boston songs. some new hooks and of course the incredible Brad Delp on vocals. other than Amanda I don't remember any other songs on the radio back in the day. There are at least 3 or 4 others that could have been singles!
