During the late summer and early fall of 1976, Boston attracted publicity due to the record sales. However, according to Cameron Crowe in Rolling Stone , there was “a conscious effort to de-emphasize Scholz as the total mastermind behind Boston”. After opening for Black Sabbath , Blue Öyster Cult , Foghat , and others in the fall, the band embarked on a headlining tour in the winter and spring of 1976–1977 to support the album. This helped establish Boston as one of rock’s top acts within a short time, and they were nominated for a Grammy Award as Best New Artist. Boston was the first band in history to make their New York City debut at Madison Square Garden .
