Boston - Don't Look Back - SX Callisto Goldtop Custom LP

Well, here it is! The BOSTON TEST! And, yes, it passed! Wow! What a guitar! This Les Paul has quickly joined my TOP favorite Les Pauls in my collection (Firefly Elite, IYV ILS-300, Epiphone Modern, Firefly Goldtop). It's lighter than my other 2 Les Paul Customs. And this guitar really sings - with DIME-SIZED POTS even!! It's a pleasant surprise of a guitar and just a pleasure to play! MORE to come with it - MUCH more!!

"Don't Look Back" is the title song of Boston's 1978 album and is written by Tom Scholz. THIS recording I'm using is from my new Boston "Don't Look Back" REMASTERED CD that I got a few weeks ago! I got the 1st and 2nd remastered versions of those Boston albums on CD. They're awesome!!

LYRICS:

Don't look back (ooh, a new day is breakin')
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind (ooh, where I get taken)
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon (ooh, and I'm awakin' now)
Oh, I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin' (ooh, the clouds are breakin')
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

I can tell there's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong, oh, yes, I can

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Ooh, far away and left behind, left behind

Oh, the sun is shinin' and I'm on that road

Don't look back (ooh, a new day is breakin')
Oh, it's been so long since I felt this way
I don't mind (ooh, where I get taken)
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Oh, far away and left behind

Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back

I'm always amazing on how well you get these Boston tones. I've seen a ton of covers that don't even get close

Dayum...., Mate! It passed! That's for sure. Mate, your music makes my day better! Thanks for your perseverance in making music just because! Not for fame, not for money...just for the love of it!

👍👍 I regret that I only have two thumbs to give.

[ccjmusic]

That sounded great. I can see why you don’t want to change anything on it now.

[dalesmyth]

Yep, that guitar did pass, and your playing of course.
I really like that guitar, I looked up some last night, not bad prices at all.
You nail tones really good, I'm not that good at nailing the right tones.

I’m seeking to buy this guitar in left hand version
