The fact anyone who does this song has to use a lady to emulate Brad is in itself the best tribute to Brad ever. RIP BD!

[mabrams]

I still can't get over how Ann Marie can scream. She has pipes of which angels are jealous.

[ericroll]

I loved watching the keyboard player. Seeing all those up-and-down swipes makes the music seem more dynamic. "OH, that's what I'm hearing!"

[ladyapp-titude]

Ann Marie is SMOKIN' on this! You guys are all fantastic, but I just love her voice!

[ScotchTape]

I thought the organ was top dog until Ann Marie freaking DESTROYED that last verse. Wow. Amazing job Geeks.

[dalezjc]

That was killer! Ann Marie's vocals and Rob's keys were magic! More Boston please!!

[DanZiemecki]

I strongly suspect the keyboardist had played this a couple times before this project was brought to him. That was just *too* spot on.

[SunlightPrismMusic]

The Genius of Tom Scholz and Boston performed perfectly by the Band Geeks..AWESOME

[skruloos]

Absolutely one of the best covers of that song I've ever heard..that keyboard player is awesome..

[vorovee]

In this topsy turvy mixed upside down world of crappy politics, covid, hurricanes out the wazoo, murder hornets, destructive protests, joblessness, no new movies or concerts, and the stinkin Giants beating my Eagles ...It's good to know we have Thee BAND Geeks (especially with Ann Marie) to sooth our musical soul!! Thank you Richie, Ann Marie, Andy & the whole crew! You too dad C...

[davidsparks]

Ann Marie just gives me the chills... that high note towards the end is awesome. The tone of the song is also spot on... Richie's guitar tone...magic.

[anthonybrock]

Anne Marie . . . Spectacularly stunning ! Ye made a dreich day much better in Bonnie ole Alba, U.K.
Love Ye lots. Good job lads.
🥀🎸🎸🥀

[merguetroidrittzlesnat]

Holy golly!
I wanna be these folks when I grow up. Hmmmm, I'm 68 now, so it better start soon 😄

[GonzoAmerican]

Ann Marie channeling Brad perfectly. Magnifico!

[pbraun]

Yep. That was just what I needed on a Monday morning. The day will now suck less. Great job, Geeks!

[bunkyboy]

Ann Marie. She's the attraction here. Sorry Richie. I could watch her sing all day. She's an awesome talent, as you all are. Love these keep them coming.

[thew]

ALL of you awesome as always but your keyboard player just NAILED IT!! Perfect technique and mastery-

[RobertPierson-ensp]

If I could, I would give this a thousand thumbs up. Best cover of Smokin' Ann Maria hits every high note perfectly and the band kills it too.
