We had the pleasure of touring with BOSTONin the late 1970s, and they were one of the few guest acts that I usedto watch every night, before SABBATH took to the stage. A nicer bunchof people would be impossible to find, and a fantastic band and debutalbum, which still sounds as good today as it did then. What anincredible singer Brad was — one of the all-time greatest voices. Hewill be greatly missed."
