[540allison]

you first asshole

[540allison]

brad did NOT have cancer.who ever the hell thought of that.PROVE IT!pretty stupid thing to say.he was just depressed.

[Hammerhead786]

@540allison Who cares!? Dead is dead. Get a life... before it's your turn to feed the maggots...

[jamzusa]

MUCH better video than that other one I saw of this someone else took at the same place.... Horrible video but this one is all shaky though....

[rocknrolljunkie2011]

Respects Brad. I saw this tour, 3rd row at this awesome amphitheater in west palm. the dude sitting behind me was a 9/11 first responder, i got stoned with him, hung out with him all night and, I swear, Boston played for something like 4 full hours. It was without question the best concert I ever saw. (Although you can't beat The Crue on the fun factor). Wonder how that dude is? I've forgotten his name.

[dezertfox4323]

is doug flutie really playing drums on this?

[cbarrett34]

@dezertfox4323 yes, he started playing as a kid

[Hammerhead786]

Hey was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Having seen many friends and some family go that way he made a good decision in my opinion. RIP Brad

[TheRiceowlex]

@Hammerhead786 Cancer isn't terminable, watch "Rick Simpson Running From the Cure" here on youtube. He made a paste of cannabis for friends with late stage cancers, MS, MD, chronic rheumatoid arthritis ..etc and all. No cancer can live / thrive in an oxygen rich molecular environment. There are other hydrogen peroxide treatments very effective. Dr Brezinski here in Houston Texas does enzyme treatments from urine that are highly effective in people who have late stage brain cancers.

[Hammerhead786]

@TheRiceowlex I think you meant terminal and you are wrong... it is terminal by definition. The basis of Chemo is to poison the cells and that the cancer cells can not take as much poison as the healthy cells can. This is hit and miss at best... For anyone who has or may have any cancer my best wishes and prayers are with them. Anything is possible and there is always hope.

[540allison]

@Hammerhead786 he did not have cancer.where the hell did u hear that?

[dcieplin2002]

Doug Flutie -- On Drums amazing at what he can do ,Doug Flutie would be an excellent choice on Drums at concerts and on albums period

[A1sausie]

GARBAGE!!

[guitarplayer4real]

Boston was a tight band - Sound of the 70's and 80's

[AlexaFlutie]

That was a fun night

[Moneyshotm]

Actually yeah I can. Go to little green men 9.15.09 at sylvester park on youtube if you want a reference.

[slant40]

Wowza - that was right on the nose! Kudos to Mr.Flutie - that's some mighty fine drumming there. But on the gtr side - I MISS BARRY! He was the glue that held it all together.

[blooberflat22]

pretty sure he was already retired...hes ok but hes not good....he looks way to tense in all the videos ive seen...like hes paying so much attention to not messing up...better drummers, well musicians in general, just kinda have a chillness, confidence, and flow to em that he seems to lack.....but he is a class act and he seems pretty cool and knowledgable

[imarkley]

@blooberflat22 well, I am a musician (guitar/keys) and can be pretty relaxed. But, I imagine if I put on a football uniform and lined up behind the ball and took a snap, I might look a little tense and worried about screwing up. Listening to this recording, I hear no flaws. He is a little crash cymbal heavy, but locked on time wise. Wish I could have seen this show. RIP Brad.

[Scooter730]

Doug is a class act! Incredible athlete and a very good drummer!

[goskinsgo]

Damn..I am really impressed! Could you imagine how incredible that would be.

[lynsuefa]

How many people can play drums with Boston saturday nite then play quterback on sunday with an N F L team.I can't think of to many

[Mutt1961]

good point - that's pretty bad ass!

[Moneyshotm]

Doug Flutie was a great quarterback. But sucks balls on the drums his meter is really shitty.

[HOMERDABULLDOG1]

can you do better????

[guitarplayer4real]

@HOMERDABULLDOG1 LOL - Did you see that video this guy referenced?? What a douche bag, everyones a 2 chord a singer strummer these days:-p

[HOMERDABULLDOG1]

@guitarplayer4real not yet but i will now.

[HOMERDABULLDOG1]

@guitarplayer4real is he kiddin me? that sucked wind,

[guitarplayer4real]

@HOMERDABULLDOG1 I saw your post and what he said - I had to look:-p I was a grown up and did not make throw up on his video lol... I actually thought, just maybe this guy was a good rocker as I have seen a lot on Youtube but I'd take that one down and not be braggin.

That said, I started this account so I could post vids and have never done it. I guess atleast he has a video, unlike me. I'll shut up if he'll shut up!

[Hunkola]

Flutie is a small little weird-looking guy.........avg. football player........but he can hold his own on the skins! Slams the cymbals a little too hard, though.....

[Gobglubby]

small weird looking guy? lol are you kidding me?

[richu52]

who's the dude playing in the background????

[boboneill12]

@richu52 The Drummer played guitar when Flutie played this song

[cfx5000]

Flutie can play.

[tornrbro]

keepin' on smokin guys no matter who says a damn thing

[tjfreak]

those cymbals sound shitty ?

[Rennpanzer]

Dude!

it's being recorded from the nose-bleed seats on a cell-freakin'-phone!

of course the sound quaility's going to be a bit off. Judging from the cheering, though, it probably sounded pretty okay, live.

[happenstance314]

@Rennpanzer

"Judging from the cheering, though, it probably sounded pretty okay, live. "

Agreed lol it would be hard for one person to ruin Boston's awesomeness if at least Brad and Tom are there.

[lepfanatic]

Michael Sweet rocks.... I don't know why Tom let Tommy DeCarlo sing when he has no stage presence to speak of.

Sweet has talent and can sing. DeCarlo needs to get back his job at Home Depot.

Saw them last year in Reno .....

Would have been a better gig w/o DeCarlo...

[dvideto]

Darin and Doug had a band in Calgary Alberta.When they were with the Stampeders years ago.they did a limited club circuit, both kicked ass.Darin Flutie on Gutiar and Doug on Drumms Iam not sure who else they had with them on stage?

[sylvyrsteel]

Id this Brad's last show? looks like it.

[Goldni8372]

Well I am a Christian and I "embrace" Michael Sweet. He's still a Christian and I still love Stryper!

[mrv1967]

I wonder if the Christian community embraced Michael Sweet doing this gig?

[Rocker095150]

cunt

[CHRISTSmusiciansSEA]

Rest in Peace, Light, Love, Joy, Waves, Rhythm, Brad.

Psalms 33 - Play Play Play Music... 33 RPM

BRAD may be with them on stage, NOW.

Waves,Freqs,Planes,Dimensions- Quarks,Fields,Energy HAPPEN

[ChanteLLLikewoaH]

Is Doug Flutie standing up?

[rockfan2k9]

That Is Excellent Drumming. Great Band. It Was A Shame When Brad Delp Died. Great Vocalist.

[JackassAlex]

This was a retirement party for Flutie put on by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This was one of Delp's last performances as he died in March 2007.

[robsavage21]

i love this song so much, my favorite part is the mad bass line, but RIP Brad

[snohomish425]

Such a shame brad killed himself, WHY? rich, rockstar depressed, he should've gotten some help. Sounds like he planned it too, what a shame.

[1danrobbins]

@snohomish425 I do believe it was because he was dying of cancer.

[jimmydcap]

@snohomish425 Brad was very depressed. He really did not show it. Nobody really knew the Demon inside of his mind.For some one who was Loved by so many he felt all alone. Truly sad. He lived in a very modest house in Adkinson NH. He did not have mansions nor did he act like a "rock star" He was just a very down to eath New Englander. I miss Brad too. If you saw his house you would have never thought some one like Brad lived there.

[The1TrueWhisper]

@snohomish425 It would take me a lifetime to describe the things musicians can feel inside.. At least you cared enough to ask why.

[jamzusa]

@snohomish425 You don't understand till you are in the same shoes...

[bronxbombers2551]

amazing song, great lighting and stae effects, where was this?? and flutie rocked the sh** out of those drums he's great. the drop kick was one of the most memorable sports moments i have seen in person. DOUG FLUTIE IS OFFICIALLY THE MAN!

[jcane28eatsfatpuss]

I remember that game. Gus Frerotte torched the Patriots' secondary.

[Sweetpea50488266]

Flutie played for my Argos. I always wondered why nobody in the NFL picked him up until so late in his career. The guy was awesome, got the job done constantly. Good drummer too.

[samero86]

CFL is better n e way fuck nfl small little kids ball

[Rusfi7]

Spinal Tap need no longer look for a drummer.

[jcr575]

Doug flutie is a solid guy, a great football player, and it looks like he can rip on the drums...sweet

[Biggprint]

Wow, this is really Doug Flutie the footballer on drums? I'm impressed!

[ultrakool]

Flutie nailed it.

[hiro4jp]

この曲はこのときのアンコール2曲目でしたよね。

ブラッドデルプの本当の最後の曲になってしまったとは...

本当に残念ですがこうして観るとすばらしいの一言！

[J1mmyP4ge]

[Cruc1fiction]

[fawkthescene666]

[therudster1]

Thats the sickest song man thanks a heap for posting that. It was great!

[bcalbick]

Thanks for posting this historic video! According to wikipedia this was the final live performance by Boston with Brad Delp.

[CJDavidson]

As a 6-month newbie drummer, I heard nothing bad. It was all good to me. Boston. With drums. And fans.

[rfa3232]

doug is a gay wad that's fact

[ROBB1185]

rfa3232,YOU DOUCHBAG! DOUG FLUTIE SET MORE RECORDS IN FOOTBALL,THAN YOU SET SUCKIN' IN GAY BARS! YOU HOMO! I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON A PUBIC! ASSBANDIT!!!!!

THANKS IRONSEAN7, IT'S NICE TO SEE SOME FLUTIE FANS OUT THERE! I'M A BILLS FAN AND ENJOYED HIS TIME THERE,I ALSO WATCHED THE ARGONAUTS. rfa3232,REALLY IS A DOUCHBAG!

[MLBfreek35]

Such a shame to lose such a great artist. Brad was a huge loss, but he will live on for years to come. RIP

[joshheisel]

Brad Delp was sooooo good...55 years old hitting all the notes with ease...I'll see you on the other side Brad.

[docweasel]

the sound's not bad, its an interesting angle with flutie on drums, what the fuck do you want for nothing blarg. everything can't be in quadraphonic digitally pristine sound, consider the circumstances. You're lucky we have anything at all, and the sound is very listenable and well balanced for what it is. I've heard so much unlistenable stuff on YT

[blarginar]

video sucks

[Brennero13]

my granderfather taught Doug Flutie and his brother Darren at Nadtick High for grade 9 english

[NeutronDance]

who's got the drop kick video?

[dunskie]

Good question.

[xxxtro]

The NFL won't let it be posted, they take it down right away. But regardless, the drop kick ruled, the drumming was awesome, and Doug Flutie is the man.

[4everyes]

Wow, my brother and I were there too. Looks like we were behind you. We met Brad and Flutie afterwards. Great show, and thanks for the post.

[guitarshred56]

is that brad delp?! :O

[jackholk]

LONG LIVE THE FLUTE!

[GodslaveRocks]

Wow. Flutie does more than just throw famous Hail Mary passes to beat the U! Outstanding performance on the skins.
