Third Stage is the third studio album by the American rock band Boston, released on September 24, 1986, on MCA Records. It is the band's first album on the MCA label, and was recorded at Boston co-founder Tom Scholz's Hideaway Studio over a long, strained, six-year period "between floods and power failures". Considered a comeback album for the band, Scholz, and lead singer Brad Delp, the lyrics invoke themes of maturity, aging, and working through stages in life. Third Stage topped the Billboard 200 albums chart upon release, and its lead single, "Amanda", became a number-one hit on various Top 40 charts and the Billboard Hot 100. The album is certified 4× Platinum in the United States and 3× Platinum in Canada by the RIAA.
