Walk On released

For the second album in a row, and for the second time in a decade, Scholz’s work was delayed by renovations to his studio. In the end, eight years passed between Third Stage and Walk On , which was released in June 1994. Walk On was certified platinum by the RIAA , and reached number seven on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Unlike Boston’s previous albums, it failed to chart in the top five. It produced one hit single, ” I Need Your Love “, which was widely played on some rock radio stations. Wanting to tour the album, but finding that no one could sing the classic songs other than Delp, Scholz asked Delp to rejoin Boston at the end of 1994. Their first appearance was for two benefit shows at the House of Blues on December 12–13, 1994, in Cambridge . The band also handed a check for $5,000 to Globe Santa and another check for $5,000 to Operation Christmas in Fall River .
