original seeder's notes:

This is one of my favorite Boston boots from years past.
It's Boston in their prime and in their home town!
The crowd was rowdy and the band fed off of that.
Tom Scholz even instructed the crowd to ignore the rules
and stand on their seats if they wanted to.
This recording was widely traded for years on cassette,
and eventually released on a bootleg CD called "Party to Boston".
But finding a good audio source proved difficult.
I finally obtained a 2nd gen cassette tape which sounds
way better than any tape of this show I had heard previously...
and sounds *much* better than "Party to Boston"
(which is even missing a song).
No work has been done to the audio other than transfer
and normalization. Personally, I think it sounds great
just as it is. But this is a good reference copy to work
from if anybody feels bold enough to try their hand at it.
I reworked the artwork from "Party to Boston" to fit this boot.
Everything is exactly as it was except for the back.
It now reflects two CDs and lists the missing song
"Television Politician". I also added a slight drop shadow
on the text for readability. The artwork is 200dpi.
