This song was requested by Showmaster162. It's a downloadable content song from Rock Band 1, but I'm playing it in Rock Band 2. Despite overdrive working differently between the games, the optimal path happens to be the same in both.
Many thanks to IcemageJT for his video of the same song which helped me out a lot!

Oh, and I loooove Boston. :) Brad Delp is insane for making those high notes sound so effortless.
Song: Rock And Roll Band
Artist: Boston
Game: Rock Band DLC, played in Rock Band 2
Mode: Expert Vocals
Platform: XBox 360
I saw once a More Than a Feeling vid, and got a basic notion of how high are most of the notes on Boston songs. :)
You did great(again). ^.^ By the way, I wanted to ask a question, as I don't go to the RB leaderboards too much: the RB2 vocals scores are lower than the RB1 ones with this Overdrive system? :P

Thank you! You're correct: in the RB2 system, the maximum possible score for any song will either be the same or lower than in the RB1 system.

Wow! Much better than I expected. You did great as always. And thanks for doing this song for me. Also, how is overdrive in rock band 2 different?

In RB1, when you activate overdrive it only drains during phrases where you have to sing/speak/do tambourines. If there's a gap between phrases, the overdrive pauses and doesn't start draining again until the next phrase.
In RB2, overdrive drains *constantly* once you activate it, similar to the other instruments. So if you're not careful, you could activate it right before a long guitar solo and watch all your overdrive go down the drain. :(
