editI have been looking for more information to add to this article about how RTZ actually got started. Most sources just state that it was a collaboration between Delp and Goudreau in the late 80s, but it's usually very vague. I wanted to expand the section here and also add more to the Boston article. But searching for RTZ info online is difficult, most results are for some European techno band.
About the bands formation; does it seem odd to anyone else that coming off a hugely successful tour and album, the lead singer would walk away from the band? Did Brad have a falling out with Tom during the Third Stage tour? Did he feel that he could replicate Boston's success in RTZ without the time restrictions Tom usually had when recording? Can anyone lead me to a good source of information about it? Eatabullet 14:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Delp spent the years after RTZ in a Beatles cover band named Beatlejuice, who worked steadily and who were very good, but which was still a rather low-profile gig. This is one fact which indicates that stardom per se didn't mean that much to Delp. As for Boston, judging from the stories I have read, it sounds like Delp was caught in the middle between Scholz (who was faction of one) and the Goudreau-Sheehan-Hashian faction.

RTZ show, Feb-8, 2008
editFeb-8, 2008, Tequilas Bar & Grille (Danvers, MA). RTZ fans were treated to an impressive show featuring RTZ veterans Brian Maes (keyboard), Barry Goudreau (guitar), Dave Stefanelli currently of Mama Kicks (drums, guitar), and Tim Archibald (bass). Joining the RTZ original members were Sib Hashian of Boston fame (drums), Lisa Guyer currently of the band Mama Kicks(vocals, guitar), Brian's wife Marybeth of Peter, Paul, & Marybeth (vocals), and {name needed} (vocals).
The crowd was rocked with favorites from RTZ's 2 albums and some hit song covers people have waited a longtime to hear.
Multiple tributes were spoken of Brad Delp (lead singer, Boston and RTZ) who took his own life almost 11 months ago one year ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bazo15a (talk • contribs) 15:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
