Performances with Joan Jett will begin on Wednesday, June 14 in Mountain View, CA at Shoreline Amphitheatre, and continue eastward across North America. More information can be found at livenation.com. Itinerary for the Live Nation portion of BOSTON’s Hyper Space Tour with Joan Jett below.

About BOSTON:

Always a huge crowd pleaser with their high-energy stage show, other-worldly sound, and exceptional musicianship, BOSTON prides itself on performing a totally live show, delivering an extraordinary experience that is faithful to their studio recordings.

Unlike most bands at the time, all of BOSTON’s albums were conceived in a basement, written, produced and recorded by Tom Scholz, an MIT graduate who designed specialized equipment to capture the songs that he heard in his head.

Scholz created his music with the intention of playing it live, in real time with real musicians, making it one of the few bands in history to reproduce seemingly-impossible-to-perform productions on stage, without the use of prerecorded music or technical enhancements.

The timeless songs appeal to young and old alike, so it’s not surprising to see concert audiences that span generations. Fans can expect to hear the classic songs they have grown to love, and will be treated to wild Hammond organ work, soaring guitars, and exceptional vocal harmonies, and be treated to BOSTON’s unique visual stage presentation, from mind-blowing lightning bolts and spectacular lights to an interstellar “journey” from the cockpit of the BOSTON spaceship, along with plenty of extra-terrestrial sounds heard nowhere else on earth.

It’s been over 40 years since BOSTON’s self-titled debut album first hit the airwaves and turned the world on to a new kind of sonic experience. With over 17 million copies sold, Boston generated hits such as “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,” “Foreplay/Long Time,” and “Smokin’,” rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today. Their second album, Don’t Look Back was another chart-topper that confirmed their place in rock history, followed by Third Stage, which hit #1 on the charts, with the top single of 1986, “Amanda.” Walk On, Corporate America, and Life, Love & Hope complete the band’s discography. With over 31 million albums sold to date, BOSTON has stood the test of time.

Scholz says, “I am thrilled to have Joan and her band on tour with us this summer.  Not only is she an amazing rock and roll performing artist, but even more exciting to me is that she is a fellow vegetarian and shares compassion for animal welfare.”  Both Scholz and 30-year BOSTON veteran Gary Pihl have been longtime vegetarians.  Scholz has worked to promote that lifestyle as well as the prevention of cruelty and suffering to all living creatures.

Continuing their effort to promote humane treatment for animals, one dollar from each ticket purchased this summer will be donated to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who are committed to ending the slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans, as well as Mercy for Animals, who utilize a broad range of strategic approaches that seek to expose cruelty, prosecute abusers, and inspire consumers to make compassionate food choices.

About Joan Jett & The Blackhearts:

Joan Jett is a true originator, an innovator, and a visionary. As the leader of the hard-rocking Blackhearts, with whom she has become a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she’s had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics “Bad Reputation,” “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” and “Crimson and Clover.” She sits at the head of her own independent label, Blackheart Records. Jett has acted in movies and television, including 1987’s Light Of Day, and in a Tony-nominated Broadway musical, The Rocky Horror Show. She has appeared on such acclaimed television shows as Oprah (the last season) and Law and Order. As a producer, she has overseen albums by Bikini Kill, Circus Lupus, as well as the Germs’ LA punk masterpiece, GI.

Since co-founding The Runaways, the pioneering all-girl punk quintet at age 15, Jett’s determination and drive have kept her in the public eye. Jett was able to see her story told in The Runaways, the film based on (lead singer of The Runaways) Cherie Currie’s book Neon Angel starring Kristen Stewart as Jett, and Dakota Fanning as Currie. Jett was close to the project: She served as an executive producer. Jett & the Blackhearts released their last studio album, Unvarnished in 2013 and continue touring the globe to throngs of adoring fans.

Choisir un casino crypto depuis la France : une méthode concrète en 7 étapes

Jouer sur un casino crypto accessible depuis la France peut sembler simple : on dépose, on profite d’un bonus, on retire. Dans la pratique, c’est tout sauf trivial. Entre le cadre légal français, des conditions de bonus parfois piégeuses et des retraits en crypto qui demandent de la méthode, mieux vaut s’équiper d’un plan clair. Voici une démarche en 7 étapes, pragmatique, pour évaluer un site et éviter les écueils les plus courants.

1) Comprendre le cadre légal français

En France, l’Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ) encadre l’offre légale : paris sportifs, hippiques et poker en ligne. Les jeux de casino en ligne (machines à sous, roulette, blackjack, etc.) ne sont pas autorisés sur des sites agréés en France. Concrètement, beaucoup de joueurs se tournent vers des opérateurs offshore. C’est votre choix et votre responsabilité : redoublez de vigilance et protégez-vous avec des règles strictes de bankroll et de sécurité.

2) Vérifier l’opérateur, pas seulement le site

• Licence et société : identifiez l’entité juridique, l’adresse, la licence (souvent Curaçao) et la date de délivrance. Recherchez la présence de numéros de licence vérifiables, pas seulement un logo.
• Conditions d’utilisation : lisez les sections « KYC/AML », « Restrictions territoriales », « Bonus Terms ». Cherchez des clauses floues ou des motifs de confiscation trop larges.
• Empreinte publique : historique du domaine (Whois), activité sur les réseaux, annonces d’audits, communications en cas d’incident. Un opérateur transparent communique.

Astuce : tapez « nom du site + complaints » en anglais et en français, et ne vous contentez pas des premiers résultats. Ce balayage rapide évite 80 % des galères.

3) Sécurité technique et preuve d’équité

• Compte : activez le 2FA (TOTP), ajoutez une liste blanche d’adresses de retrait, coupez les sessions sur appareils inactifs. Si ces options n’existent pas, c’est un signal faible.
• Dépôts/retraits : vérifiez la confirmation par e‑mail, la possibilité de verrouiller les retraits pendant 24 h et la présence d’alertes de connexion.
• Provably Fair : sur les jeux « maison », la preuve d’équité (server seed, client seed, nonce) doit être vérifiable après chaque coup. Testez : changez votre seed, rejouez, puis validez le hash sur l’outil fourni. Si c’est opaque, méfiance.

La vidéo ci-dessus explique les bases de la vérification d’équité. Prenez 5 minutes pour expérimenter avant de miser gros.

4) Bonus : lire les chiffres comme un gestionnaire de risque

Un bonus peut être intéressant, mais seulement si vous connaissez son coût réel. Trois points font la différence :

• Exigences de mise (wagering) : 30x, 40x sur le bonus ou sur bonus+dépt ? Ce n’est pas la même chose.
• Plafond de gain, contribution des jeux (machines 100 %, tables 10 % ou 0 %), mise max par tour pendant le bonus.
• Durée et segments cachés (par exemple, « wagering par paliers » ou « mise minimum »).

Exemple rapide : bonus 100 % jusqu’à 200 € avec 40x le bonus, machines à sous 100 %. Vous déposez 200 €, recevez 200 €. Volume à miser = 200 € × 40 = 8 000 €. Avec un RTP moyen de 96 % (soit une marge de 4 %), le « coût statistique » attendu est 8 000 € × 4 % = 320 €. Vous comprenez vite que sans variance positive et plafond de mise adapté, le bonus n’est pas « gratuit ». Choisissez plutôt des offres avec wagering modéré, sans cap de gains, et privilégiez les récompenses de fidélité transparentes.

5) Dépôts et retraits en crypto : rapidité, frais et KYC

La plupart des casinos crypto proposent plusieurs réseaux. Les frais et délais varient fortement :

Actif/Réseau	Vitesse typique	Frais usuels	Quand l’utiliser
BTC (on‑chain)	10–60 min	Variables (mempool)	Montants élevés, mais lent et plus cher
ETH (ERC‑20)	1–5 min	Frais parfois élevés	Jetons ERC‑20, liquidité large
USDT (TRC‑20)	1–5 min	Faibles	Transferts rapides, coûts réduits
LTC / XRP	Rapide	Faibles	Alternative économique au BTC

• Testez toujours un petit retrait avant un gros. C’est le meilleur indicateur réel des délais.
• Évitez de retirer directement vers un exchange qui n’accepte pas le réseau utilisé ; retirez plutôt d’abord vers votre wallet de self‑custody.
• Attendez-vous à une demande KYC si le cumul dépasse un certain seuil ou si un risque AML est détecté. Préparez pièce d’identité, justificatif de domicile et, parfois, preuve d’origine des fonds.

6) Bankroll : règles simples qui évitent 90 % des catastrophes

• Budget fixe mensuel : un montant que vous pouvez perdre sans endetter vos autres postes (loyer, factures, épargne).
• Unités de mise : 1–2 % de la bankroll par pari sur des jeux à variance élevée (slots), 2–5 % pour des jeux à variance plus faible lorsque cela s’applique.
• Stop‑loss et stop‑win : arrêtez la session après −3 à −5 unités ou +5 à +10 unités. Pas de « dernier coup pour se refaire ».
• Volatilité : sur des slots « high variance », attendez des swings profonds. Ajustez la taille de mise en conséquence.

Rappelez-vous qu’à long terme, l’avantage maison gagne. La gestion de bankroll n’élimine pas l’avantage, elle rend l’expérience soutenable et contrôlée.

7) Support, réputation et résolution des litiges

• Support 24/7 réactif, historique des tickets accessible, agents qui répondent à vos questions techniques (ex. preuve d’équité) : c’est un vrai plus.
• Communauté publique (forum, Discord, X) : regardez comment l’opérateur gère les critiques.
• Procédure d’escalade : est-elle décrite ? Vers quel médiateur/autorité le site renvoie-t-il ?

Procédure express de 30 minutes avant de miser

1. Lire les T&C et la page KYC. Noter les plafonds, frais, délais de retrait.
2. Ouvrir le compte, activer 2FA, configurer la liste blanche d’adresses.
3. Tester la preuve d’équité sur un jeu gratuit ou en micro‑mise.
4. Déposer un petit montant via un réseau peu coûteux (ex. TRC‑20), jouer quelques tours, puis demander un retrait test.
5. Contacter le support pour une question pointue (ex. contribution des jeux aux bonus). Évaluer la qualité de la réponse.

Pour se repérer dans l’offre et vérifier rapidement les fonctions clés, un guide comme Stake France peut servir de point d’appui, notamment pour comprendre les particularités locales et les options crypto disponibles.

Ce qu’il faut retenir

Ne cherchez pas l’offre « parfaite » : elle n’existe pas. Cherchez la cohérence : un opérateur clair sur ses règles, une sécurité technique maitrisée, des retraits testés, et une bankroll gérée au millimètre. Le reste – bonus, promos, gamification – n’est qu’accessoire si les fondamentaux ne sont pas solides.

Dernier mot : si vous sentez que le jeu prend trop de place, mettez des limites dès maintenant (limites de dépôt, pauses temporaires) et n’hésitez pas à contacter Joueurs Info Service au 09 74 75 13 13. Jouer doit rester un loisir, pas un stress.

A Wild Success

BOSTON’s 40th ANNIVERSARY TOUR – A WILD SUCCESS!

I want to thank everyone for making our 40th Anniversary Tour the best BOSTON tour ever! Our enthusiastic fans who filled so many sold-out venues to cheer us on, the band members for their dedicated efforts to perform at their peak for every show, and our amazing crew who worked tirelessly every day to bring our production to such a wide variety of venues, often under extreme conditions. In 40 years of playing BOSTON music for our fans, this was the most amazing live experience I’ve ever had with the BOSTON family and our fans.

August 15, 2016

August 15, 2016

Tonight is the final show of our 2016 40th Anniversary Tour back in Boston where it all started. All of us in the band feel these live performances have been our best yet and this final show is the culmination of a fantastic tour we should be celebrating wildly. Except for one extremely sad fact; one our closest associates for over 30 years, and a dear friend of mine, will not be there to see it. Five days ago William F. Clack, an integral part of BOSTON’s technical team, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.

40th Anniversary Tour Has Begun!

The 40th Anniversary Tour has officially begun! 

What a way to start the tour, three sold out shows for terrific fans, friends and family!

We’ll be doing about 50 shows in 100 days, so we’ll be moving fast and furious. (sorry, it’s such a good line I had to use it)

As a musician, when you get the chance to make an album, you’re just hoping it will be liked enough to get  “15 minutes of fame”. The fact that so many people still want to hear us play those songs 40 years later really proves what a great job Tom did writing, playing, engineering and producing that first record. All of us in the band are proud to be able to play the songs that mean so much to so many fans, young and old. Looking out into the audience and seeing everyone smiling and singing along is the best feeling (more than a feeling, really) that any musician can have! Rock on!
~ Gary Pihl

Second Show Added in Boston

Boston, MA (April 2, 2016) – Citi Performing Arts Center and MSG Entertainment announced today that due to overwhelming demand, legendary American rock band, BOSTON, has added a second show at the Wang Theatre on Monday, August 15. The previously announced show on Sunday, August 14 is sold out. These will be the first BOSTON concerts in decades in their namesake city. Tickets for the newly added August 15 show are on sale now.The 40th anniversary BOSTON tour promises to be a celebration honoring the group’s loyal fans, where they can expect to hear all the classic songs they have grown to love. Many of them have supported BOSTON since 1976 when their debut album, Boston, first hit the airwaves and took rock radio by storm, so it’s not surprising to see concert audiences that span generations. Always a huge crowd pleaser with their high-energy stage shows, out-of-this-world sound, and remarkable musicianship and singing, BOSTON prides itself on performing a totally live show without the use of pre-recorded music or technical enhancements, delivering the extraordinary sound that is faithful to their studio recordings.  Tom Scholz also promises some amazing new electrifying visuals that will surprise and delight BOSTON’s fans.

“I’m very excited to bring BOSTON back to Boston,” said founder, chief songwriter and producer Tom Scholz. “Music broadcast from Boston got me interested in rock when I was in high school living in Toledo, Ohio. Later, studying and working in this city taught me everything I needed to know to create BOSTON’s sound in my studio. Our home town fans have always been great, and I could think of no better way to end our 40th Anniversary Tour than back here in Boston where it all started.”
