IBoston yiqembu leqembu laseMelika elakhiwe eBoston, Massachusetts (USA). Inani eliphakeme lokuthandwa kweqembu lalingama-1970 ekhulwini elidlule.
Phakathi nesikhathi sokuba khona, abaculi bakwazi ukukhipha ama-albhamu ayisithupha e-studio agcwele. I-debut disc, eyakhululwa ngamakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-17, idinga ukunakwa okukhulu.
Ukudalwa kanye nokwakheka kweqembu laseBoston
Emsuka weqembu nguTom Scholz. Njengomfundi e-MIT, wabhala izingoma ngenkathi ephupha ngomsebenzi womculo we-rocker. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi amathrekhi uTom abhala eminyakeni yakhe yomfundi aba yingxenye ye-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu elizayo.
Ngemva kokuphothula esikhungweni semfundo ephakeme, uTom wathola okukhethekile "Mechanical Engineer". Ngokushesha wathola umsebenzi wokuba uchwepheshe e-Polaroid. UTom akazange ashiye uthando lwakhe lwakudala - umculo. Usabhala izingoma futhi wasebenza njengomculi emaqenjini endawo.
UTom wasebenzisa imali ayizuzile emishinini yestudiyo sakhe sokuqopha. Iphupho lomsebenzi okhokhelwayo njengomculi alizange lishiye insizwa.
Esitudiyo sakhe sasekhaya, uTom waqhubeka nokuqamba izingoma. Ekuqaleni kwawo-1970, wahlangana nomculi uBrad Delp, isigingci uBarry Goudreau, kanye nomshayi wezigubhu uJim Maisdy. Abafana babehlanganiswe uthando lomculo onzima. Baba abasunguli bomsebenzi wabo.
Ngenxa yokuntula isipiliyoni, iqembu elisha lahlakazeka. Abafana abazange bakwazi ukufinyelela ukuphakama okuthile. UScholz akazange alilahle ithemba lokuwina umphakathi ngezingoma zakhe. Waqhubeka nokusebenza yedwa. Ukuze aqophe amanye amathrekhi, u-Tom wamema ababekade esebenza nabo eqenjini.
UTom Scholz wayazi kahle ukuthi "ukuhamba ngomkhumbi wedwa" ngeke kusebenze. Umculi "ubeseshweni elisebenzayo" lelebula. Lapho izinto zasestudiyo sezilungile, u-Tom wamema u-Brad ukuthi asethe izingoma zomculo. Abaculi bendawonye bebebheke izitudiyo lapho ochwepheshe bezolalela izingoma zabo.
Laba bafana bathumele amathrekhi kuma-studio amaningi okuqopha. UTom Scholz wayengakholelwa empumelelweni yecebo lakhe. Kodwa kungazelelwe wathola ucingo oluvela ezinkampanini ezintathu zokuqopha ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ekugcineni, unhlanhla wamoyizela umculi.
Isayina ne-Epic Records
UTom wakhetha ama-Epic Records. Ngokushesha uScholz wasayina inkontileka enemali eningi. Wayengahlosile “ukuhamba ngomkhumbi yedwa”. Abahleli balebula babe negalelo ekwandeni kweqembu. Ngakho, umugqa wokuqala weqembu wawuhlanganisa:
- UBrad Delp (umculi)
- Barry Goudreau (umshayi wesiginci);
- U-Fran Sheehan (ibhesi);
- U-Saib Hashian (i-percussion)
Futhi-ke, uTom Scholz ngokwakhe wayese "helm" yeqembu laseBoston. Ngemuva kokwakhiwa kokugcina kohlu, abaculi baqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yabo yokuqala.
Ngo-1976, i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa ngokuhlanganiswa nesihloko "esithobekile" kakhulu esithi Boston. Cishe ngokushesha ngemva kokwethulwa kwe-albhamu, i-albhamu yathatha isikhundla esihloniphekile sesi-3 e-US hit parade.
I-albhamu yokuqala yayithandwa kakhulu yintsha yaseMelika. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, intsha yayiwaqaphela ngokukhethekile amathrekhi e-punk rock. Ukuqoshwa komculo kwe-albhamu yaseBoston kwaba i-box office hit. Abaculi sebedayise amakhophi erekhodi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-17. Futhi lokho kuse-United States of America nje.
Isiqongo sokuthandwa kweqembu elithi "Boston"
Ngokukhishwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala kwafika inani eliphakeme lokuthandwa kwebhendi ye-rock yaseMelika. Ithimba laqala imisebenzi yokuvakasha esebenzayo. Nokho, ngokushesha abaculi balindelwe ukudumala kokuqala. Iqiniso liwukuthi izethameli azizange zikuthathele indlebe ukudlala kwabafana. Konke kungenxa yokuntuleka komphumela we-acoustic. Ukuvakasha kukaBoston e-US akuzange kube yimpumelelo enkulu.
Ngemuva kohambo, abaculi beqembu laseBoston baqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yabo yesibili yesitudiyo. Ngo-1978, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu ethi Ungabheki Bask. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, abaculi bathola abalandeli hhayi kuphela eMelika yakubo. Amalungu eqembu athole abalandeli bomsebenzi wabo eYurophu.
Ukweseka i-albhamu yabo yesibili yesitudiyo, uBoston uhambele amazwe ase-Europe. Kodwa abaculi abazange bacabangele amaphutha esikhathi esidlule, ngakho ukusebenza kwabo kungase kuthiwe ohlwini "lwehlulekile".
Kwehliswe ukuduma kwe-Boston
Kancane kancane, ukuthandwa kweqembu kwaqala ukwehla. Iqembu seliyekile ukufunwa emibuthanweni yomculo. Ngo-1980, iqembu laseBoston lamemezela ukuhlakazwa kwalo. Laba bafana abakaze bakhiphe i-albhamu yesithathu ethenjisiwe ye-Third Stage. Isitudiyo sokuqopha, lapho abaculi basayine khona inkontileka, babheka le phrojekthi njengengathembisi.
Ngemva kweminyaka eminingana, lapho uTom Scholz ememezela ukubuyiselwa kweqembu, benza ukubuyekezwa okuncane kwe-albhamu yesithathu. Ngo-1986, wabonakala emashalofini ezitolo zomculo.
Ngokumangalisayo, iqoqo libe yimpumelelo futhi lazuza imiklomelo emine ye-platinum. Ingoma erekhodiwe ye-albhamu yesithathu ka-Amanda yathandwa kakhulu abathandi bomculo, behola emashadini.
Ngokushesha abaculi bathola isipho sokucula emcimbini we-Texas Jam. Amalungu ebhendi ajabulise abalandeli ngokudlala okumangalisayo kwamaculo amadala nayintandokazi. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi iqembu lamukelwa ngokufudumele "abalandeli", lokhu akuzange kusindise iqembu laseBoston ekuhlukaneni. Naphezu kokuhlakazwa kweqembu, abaculi basahlangene. Kodwa sekuphele iminyaka engu-8 kusukela lapho.
Ukuhlangana kweqembu laseBoston
Ngo-1994, abaculi bahlangana baphinde bavela esiteji. U-Tom umemezele ukuthi iqembu "livusiwe" futhi lizojabulisa abalandeli bomculo osindayo nge-repertoire ebuyekeziwe.
Ngokushesha ibhendi yaseBoston yaqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yayo yesine yesitudiyo. Iqoqo elisha belibizwa ngokuthi Hamba Phambili. Naphezu kokulindela okukhulu kwamalungu eqembu, irekhodi lamukelwa kahle abalandeli nabagxeki bomculo.
I-Corporate America iyi-albhamu yesihlanu yeqembu, ekhishwe ngo-2002. Ngeshwa, leli rekhodi nalo aliphumelelanga. Naphezu "kokwehluleka", abaculi baqhubeka nokuvakasha e-United States of America.
Ngo-2013, i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yesitudiyo yesithupha ethi Life, Love & Hope. Okurekhodiwe kufaka phakathi izwi lika-Brad Delp ongasekho. Ube ngumculi ophambili weBoston selokhu yasungulwa.
Ngokombono wezohwebo, i-albhamu yesithupha ye-studio ayikwazi ukubizwa ngokuthi impumelelo. Kodwa abalandeli bawabingelele ngemfudumalo amathrekhi amasha. Lokhu kubangelwa ikakhulukazi ukuthi lena yi-albhamu yokugcina lapho uBrad Delp ebambe khona iqhaza.
Ukufa kukaBrad Delp
UBrad Delp wazibulala ngoMashi 9, 2007. Iphoyisa nengoduso yalo uPamela Sullivan bathole isidumbu endlini yokugezela emzini kaBrad e-Atkinson. Iminonjana yokufa ngobudlova ayizange itholakale.
Ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe, uBrad wabhala amaphuzu amabili. Enye iqukethe isixwayiso sokuthi igesi ivuliwe endlini, okungaholela ekuqhumeni ekamelweni. Inothi lesibili labhalwa ngezilimi ezimbili - isiNgisi nesiFulentshi.
Ithi: “Ngiwumphefumulo onesizungu… ngizibophezela ngokugcwele ngesimo sami samanje. Angisenasithakazelo empilweni." Ngemva kokuba uBrad ebhale amanothi, wangena endlini yokugezela wavala umnyango wavula igesi.
Umlingani wakhe u-Pamela Sullivan, owayenezingane ezimbili noBrad Delp, wakhuluma ngokucindezeleka okude komculi: "Ukucindezeleka kuyethusa, ngicela ukuba uthethelele futhi ungamlahli uBrad ...".
Ngemuva komcimbi wokuvalelisa, isidumbu somculi waseBoston sashiswa. Ngonyaka ka-2007, ngo-August, ikhonsathi yanikezwa ukuhlonipha inkumbulo kaBrad Delp.
