Barry Goudreau Dreams

While Boston was "on hiatus" (conspiracy theories abound), guitarist Barry Goudreau released his solo album with a band comprised of several other Boston members.

The most notable differences between this and the original Boston lieup were the absence of Tom Scholtz and the addition of another bassist: Fran 'Cosmo'. One funny thing is that Fran, in addition to having the same name as Boston bassist Fran Sheehan, just happens to look just like Mr. Sheehan (on the album sleeve photo, at least)! Add to that the fact that he was using an obviously fake surname, and many did not even question whether these two guys were one guy. They were indeed two different guys, though.

Here's a video of "Dreams" from YouTube. There are some video quality problems in the beginning, but obscurities like this are hard to come by even on the internet, so what we get we must settle for.

Here is one of Barry's later bands, RTZ (Return To Zero) in a live performance of the same song:
