BCN WBCN The Rock of Boston Final 15 minutes! Part 3 8/11/09

This is the last 15 mins of WBCN in Boston, Ma
A legend in the world of rock and roll! The death of a great station. This is the last 15 mins ever of the greatest station that graced the Boston airwaves!

The last 2 songs ever played on WBCN at the 104.1 FM dial were:

"I Feel Free" by Cream (which also was the 1st song ever played on BCN on March 15th, 1968 when it changed from classical music to the underground sounds we grew to love)

then very song last was

"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd

Daryl Martnie saying his tag line, "Over and Out!" were the final words of BCN!

Sorry for my reflection in the window. I was totally unaware of this until editing the video! :(

Thanks for posting this.  I remember a year ago busting out a radio and hooking it up to my PC speakers just to hear the last minutes.

Everything great has to come to an end. Even this video that you made to honor WBCN will live on the net longer than us. I just thought that this was the one station that would grow old with me, I was wrong.

Thanks for this superb memory,

Paneeks

I just checked to see if this still gives me chills, it still does. I cried the day WBCN went off the air, a piece of my childhood died that day. R.I.P. WBCN

More proof that corporate financial interests control what you hear, they have done this in markets all over the United States and they will continue to do it until your voice is heard. BOYCOTT the Mix 104.1 and the new sports station too...........

I'm going thru my tape collection and listening to WBCN recordings from summer 1988, what great station it was. RIP!

[robbinshood79]

wow, i had no idea this just happened. I just drove through Boston on August 6th and tuned into BCN as I always do, unfortunately I guess that was the last time, which sucks.
