Midi file playing is More Than a Feeling From the Album Boston by Boston

Boston was the enormously successful debut album created by MIT graduate and guitarist Tom Scholz. Boston is by definition heavy rock & roll, but it evidenced a greater concern for melodic and harmonic flow than much of the other heavy music created in the mid-70's.

If you're looking for something to tell you that the band, in question is composed of nearly notable former members of various bands, or how many jam sessions the drummer sat in on with rock superstars who are now dead or disabled or retired, forget it!

Unless the names Mother's Milk, Middle Earth, or the Revolting Tones Revue ring any particular bells where the people who make up this band called Boston came from is irrelevant to who and where they are now.

If you still need more information, try this. Boston is masterminded by a guitarist named Tom Scholz. An MIT graduate with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Tom was living a split existence at the time of his concept for Boston began to fall together. By day, he was a highly-touted member of the Product Design wing of a major Massachusetts-based corporation, helping to develop all sorts of media machinery that he's not supposed to talk about. By night, he was a member of any one of a handful of constantly shifting bands on the North Shore club circuit in Boston.

Considering the day gig, when he bought 12-track recording equipment and began experimenting with basement tapes, mastering the machinery at his disposal posed no great problem. With these extraordinary homemade demo tapes, the band was soon better known to record company executives in LA and New York than it was to taste-mongers in it's own home town.
