I tend to agree. Music of that era was awesome in my opinion. There have been some amazing artists since then, but I keep going back to the originals of the 60s and 70s.
"More Than A Feeling" is one of the most perfectly written songs, ever recorded. It is beautiful, complex, uplifting, and unique. This will lead to another rabbit hole!
Foreigner has to be done as well. It feels like the first time & Jukebox hero, too! Throw in some Loverboy and April Wine! Oh yeah! Old school baby!😍〽️
Yes it was one of best album in rock. I still think it's funny that when they exploded onto the scene and they were all over the radio and we were all rocking to it, There still wasn't really a band put together yet. This album was mostly Tom and Brad goofing around in Toms basement on Homemade equipment Tom built himself.. But again. A fantastic album where every single song was a home run.
Brad Delp is like the most underrated singer of like ever. The whole record is a rabbit hole in itself. Written in produced by the guitarist Tom Scholz and recorded in his bloody basement. Getting this quality out of someone's basement in the 70. Pure masterpiece
Buddy, the ENTIRE ALBUM is AWESOME, there is not a bad song on the album. This is the perfect summer cruising song. Has one of the best voices of all time. You need to get the whole album or do a whole show on this one LP.
The most diverse music in history was in the 1970’s. The talent was mind boggling. You are listening to the best male vocalist in rock Brad Delp. RIP Brad
This album is a masterpiece from beginning to end, it really deserves a full listen! Don't worry, the views will be there since it's beloved by so many people ;)
There are NO bad songs from Boston. His voice was incredible. God I am so glad I lived during this era. It will never be beat! The whole album deserves a play dude... you wont regret it!
MollyBoy, as a 61-year-old man who grew up with this music, it thrills me to see younger generations react it. I'm glad you liked it. The 70's had the best music ever. Pure talent and pure voice. No auto-tune. No A.I. Great reaction video. 👍👍
62 here🎶🎵🎼 I wonder if this young man understands that his audience for reaction to music videos is our generation because we want to keep this music alive
As every new generation comes along, they think "their" music is the shit. Until they are introduced to the MUSIC from the '70s & '80s. Everyone from GenX is grateful for being alive during that time. I still have my 40ish year old Boston CD, right alongside Back In Black and Moving Pictures.
Gen Jones grew up on this stuff. I can remember my brother playing guitar to all these songs on the radio. He still plays and I still listen to this music
A “classic rock” song but Brad Delp was honestly a guy who could sing any genre and sound great. He’s one of very, very few higher pitched/clean voices that I truly enjoy
I was 14 when this album came out. My hot older neighbor woke me up on my birthday and handed me the record. I did not leave my room that day...too bad she did. Forever grateful to her.
Not in the same League I agree but we also did Sully today and I absolutely LOVE Godsmack. Different era and different sound I know but they are still fucking fabulous too 💕
I enjoy your reactions to the music of my generation. I'm 70 and still only listen to what we call classic Rock. I'm seeing the younger generations are really starting to react and enjoy the older music and appreciate that it was authentic and raw talent unlike today's music.❤
Yes, if you could not actually _sing_ back in the day you did not get a recording contract. Today is a joke in comparison with auto-tune and pitch correction. 🙄🤷
This was actually recorded by 2 people . Tom Stoltz recorded all instreuments and Brad Delp did all vocals . The other 3 were brought in so they would have a touring band
This was the first song on their first album. It exploded onto the scene overnight, and was on the radio constantly. We were like, "Who ARE these people??" One of the top selling debut albums of all time.
Backstory is incredible. Tom Scholtz was a MIT trained engineer at Polaroid, a camera company. He moonlit playing in rock bands around Boston. He had trouble getting the sounds he wanted out of existing performance and recording equipment. He used his engineering skills to design, build and invent his own. He built a studio in his basement and played and recorded most of what you heard here himself. He brought in Brad Delp to do that incredible stratospheric vocal and Sib Hashian to play drums. Next from Boston, react to “Foreplay/Long Time.”
Boston is an amazing band. The singer is Brad Delp and yes he had an incredible voice. It was amazing to grow up in the 70s and hear this music on the radio every day. ❤❤❤
Many critics and fellow pro musicians all agree this album is one of Rocks all time greatest debut albums ever! The ENTIRE ALBUM is INSANELY LIT!!!! Enjoy this one bro, your in for a helluva ride.
Considered by an unbelievable majority of listeners to be the best debut album ever done. There are 8 songs on this album. All will catch your likes and respect. Thank you for another great job. 🤟😁
For many of us who grew up with this music, listening to it now is extra special because it comes attached with the memories of a special time in our lives.
Song like this were made in an era that the ENTIRE album was great. Just start it and let it play, no fillers or out of place single just for the radio!!
it was a great album.....Chicago Transit Authority would give it a run though......first album of Chicago. Beginnings, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, I'm a Man, Questions 67 and 68,
Every single song on this debut album is a banger. You can't go wrong. You have to listen to every one of them and then go on to the second album which is just as good. You're going to be blown away
I can tell you exactly what I was doing when I first heard this song. It was 1976, I was 17 years old, smoking a lot of pot, in a 68 Camero spinning donuts in a dirt field with my friends standing on the side around a bonfire at 11 pm. I don't know how we survived with all the crazy things we did in our youth. I'm so grateful for the songs and memories.
I've heard this song thousands of times and it still gives me goosebumps. That high note, then higher, then higher, and then peaks out!! Nothing Like It!!!
I caught Boston from my older brother who had a 69 Road Runner convertible. Fast forward to the mid-80s & I was the one crusin the strip on the weekends, just jammin to this entire album…in my 72 Challenger! 😎
Yeah. Boston was never a band I paid attention to or cared about, but playing pool in bars the vast majority of my life, it's hard not to come to the eventual realization that they're one of the most talented bands ever.
Most of the studio stuff, except vocals, was done by one guy... Tom Scholz. I believe he did hire a drummer to re-cut the drum tracks for the album, but he has played those as well originally. Guitars and organ on the album are all Tom.
I am from Boston Brad Delp ( vocals) peformed regularly with his Beatles tribute band " Beatlejuice" right down the street from me. I saw his last performance before tragically tsking his own life. He was the nicest most down to earth cat you could meet.
This album was written and recorded by Tom Scholz (The guitarist in the silver jump suit) in his apartment building BASEMENT in 1974/75. That was unheard of back then, he built all of his own recording equipment (He was an engineer at Polaroid) and was an electronics genius as well as an amazing songwriter. Imagine getting these kinds of sounds on home-made analog recording equipment in a basement in the mid 70s, absolutely amazing.
This might be the most classic of classic rock songs. Amazing band with an actual genius at the helm, Tom went to M.I.T (I believe). He's one of those guitarists that has his own unique sound. This first album of theirs is arguably the greatest debut in rock history (although there are others I would consider). Other great songs to check out are "Peace of Mind", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Don't Look Back", and "Feelin Satisfied".
"Boston" the whole first album was KILLER !! It was the biggest selling "Debut" album EVER !! Most of the instruments were played by one man. Tom Scholtz, the lead guitar player and it was all recorded and mixed in his basement in Weymouth, Mass. He even shopped the demo to all the record companies. He was an electrical Engineer and made the guitar effects too. The man is a G-E-N-I-U-S !! He has a few YT interviews you must hear.
There are certain albums that should probably be in any vinyl collection. Boston's first album is one of them. Both a musical and engineering masterpiece.
MollyBoy, It's so fun to see you discover this great music many of us grew up with. It makes me feel super lucky that this is where the "bar" was set for my generation. I also think you were wearing bell bottoms and bangin with us in the '70s and were reincarnated in 2000 to rediscover it all again.
I my humble opinion the 70's had the best music, perhaps it's because it was the music of my youth but there was such a variety of music from bands like Aerosmith, Boston, ELO, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Rush, Foghat and on and on and on. Keep it up, you'll discover a world of great music.
Not only do i love this music, always have always will but, I also love watching you react to it simply because it seems to put You in a good mood and a good place. Which is exactly what this music should do to a person.
This was one of the biggest debut albums of the 70’s. Just burst on the scene and pretty much every song on the album became single hits. HUGE on rock radio.
Boston is one of my favorite groups and many of their songs have a GOOD feeling vib. A band ahead of their time and a unique standout in the mid 70's. This song and "Foreplay / Long Time" are favorites from Boston.
When I first heard this song in the 70's when I grew up, I was blown away and still am today! Unbee-lieevable vocals!! No one matches this except Steve Perry! And Perry is incredible!
If you haven't listened to the isolated vocals for this song, do yourself a favor. And remember there was no autotune. If it doesn't make you cry, nothing will.
This song is on Boston’s debut album. When it came out it was the biggest selling debut album of all time. And like, say, Fleetwood Mac “Rumors” every track is gold
I was a teen in the 80’s which was pretty cool …but it would be awesome to somehow magically be a teen in the 50’s …the 60’s …and the 70’s …just to experience the music/culture of those three decades as a young person
Boston were a hit machine back in the day. Classic rock songs with classic iconic guitar riffs. Irresistible. Check out "Peace of Mind" by them next. Tasty!!
More BOSTON: "Foreplay / Long Time", "Smokin'", and "Hitch a Ride". FYI - this video is not a live performance; the audio is a radio edit of the studio recording. The lead singer, Brad Delp (R.I.P.), sings all of the harmonies (the rest of the band is lip-syncing for the video to appear to be live). This song is the first track on their 1976 debut album, which remained the best selling debut album in history for the next 8 years.
The studio version is over a minute longer (i think it has an extra verse). That was common practice at the time, they would have a shorter AM radio version so they could cram more songs into each hour.
This is actually the studio version of the song, the entire band (even Brad) is lip-syncing to this, it was to make a promotional video - because they were an unknown band at the time. There's not even an audience in the video. They're playing to an empty room.
Boston always brings a good feeling. It's like being enraptured in the most incredible sound. Their music lifts my spirit every single time I listen, all these years later.
Oh yeah, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands ever! Boston is a pillar of classic rock, & this album is one of best ever. I wore this cassette out cruisin the strip on the weekends back in the 80s!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤘
@@harolddorsey9179 Harold I cant get anything by you.. Im afraid of today's good stuff. Can u imagine dropping it off in the 70s to the guys picking outt seeds and stems... Dripping like it was rolled by Rick Springfield. Looking and smelling like a 16yr old beagles front leg.. Todays good stuff is Gubmint approved catatonia.. seriously a lot of thought wemt into my decade ratings...I will say this .the 80s have improved over time...not because of conventional 80s sound but because youtube gives us a chance to hunt down the stuff that was not promoted at all
Molly, "I like singers with higher pitched voices"
Brad Delp, "Hold my beer"
Delp one of the best fo sho
Boy that guy sucked all the wind out of his own sails didn't he?
Great pipes on Brad. Think you would like also lead singer for Kansas, Steve Walsh. Might start with "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas.
@@gregcable3250 I'm not sure which song, but he did indeed do a Kansas song today.
Lol, yes!
Welcome to the 70's where the music was better than any other era in history.
Pity everything else was way worse than any era ;)
The best times ❤❤❤
Think 80's compete very well.
@@susanmontgomery7121nah
I tend to agree. Music of that era was awesome in my opinion. There have been some amazing artists since then, but I keep going back to the originals of the 60s and 70s.
We may not have had cell phones or internet in the 70s but we had the best music ever.
Absolutely mate!
Love all of Boston's Song's ❤❤❤❤❤
Truth
Coolest chicks an cars too mate
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT PISS ON THE 80s
In my opinion, Brad Delp was one of the best vocalists in rock music of all time. Rest in peace sweet angel.❤
His suicide was very sad indeed.
@devanandalovefoundation47
I mourn for him still even after all these years.
"Something about 70s music, there's more of a vibe to it."
Its called talent.
Amen
KILLER STUFF
YES
"More Than A Feeling" is one of the most perfectly written songs, ever recorded. It is beautiful, complex, uplifting, and unique. This will lead to another rabbit hole!
Foreigner has to be done as well. It feels like the first time & Jukebox hero, too! Throw in some Loverboy and April Wine! Oh yeah! Old school baby!😍〽️
Boston not a terrible rabbit hole but their lead singer on the other hand.... Maybe not the best rabbit hole to go down lol
ELO is a must dive!! Hell yeah! Experience it Molls!
And a perfectly written album!
It's one of the most perfectly recorded songs ever recorded or produced .
48 years later and IT NEVER GETS OLD
You just listened to one of the greatest songs of all time.
YES
1976 - one of the best years in music. Boston's self-titled debut. Every single song on this record is classic genius. Every. Single. One.
Yes, indeed
Yes it was one of best album in rock. I still think it's funny that when they exploded onto the scene and they were all over the radio and we were all rocking to it, There still wasn't really a band put together yet. This album was mostly Tom and Brad goofing around in Toms basement on Homemade equipment Tom built himself.. But again. A fantastic album where every single song was a home run.
You are correct.
And the year I was born. Brought up on this bliss ❤
KANSAS.. CARY ON WAY WORD SON DUST IN THE WIND PETER FRAMPTON. COMES ALIVE. STEVE MILLER.S GREATEST HITS 1976
Dimebag Darrell once said that it doesn't matter how metal you are if you can't headbang to this song you're a poser (paraphrasing slightly lol)
In Dime We Trust 🤘
Never knew that. Cool!
RIP Dime Bag!
Brad Delp is like the most underrated singer of like ever. The whole record is a rabbit hole in itself. Written in produced by the guitarist Tom Scholz and recorded in his bloody basement. Getting this quality out of someone's basement in the 70. Pure masterpiece
I just love how the lead vocals go high, then higher, then somehow merge into the instrumentals so you can't tell where one ends and the next starts.
Buddy, the ENTIRE ALBUM is AWESOME, there is not a bad song on the album. This is the perfect summer cruising song. Has one of the best voices
of all time. You need to get the whole album or do a whole show on this one LP.
Omg yes I Love this whole album!!!
I always listen to this and their follow up "Don't Look Back", back to back. Both exceptional LP's.
Yeppers. One of the few cases where a band's debut album is also their greatest hits album.
This was the first album I ever bought. It never gets old.
Agreed. This album has NO wasted space. Every song is worthwhile.
The most diverse music in history was in the 1970’s. The talent was mind boggling. You are listening to the best male vocalist in rock Brad Delp. RIP Brad
AMEN!!!
Tied with Steve Perry
This album is a masterpiece from beginning to end, it really deserves a full listen! Don't worry, the views will be there since it's beloved by so many people ;)
You know your listening to GREAT music when 30-40-50 yrs later people are still blown away by the talent, and sound
Foreplay/Longtime is even better
Listen to foreplay/ longtime
It's good but it ain't better lol
The build up and payoff on it is just crazy good!.
My favourite 😎
Came here to say the same thing... Foreplay/ long time is the BEST
There are NO bad songs from Boston. His voice was incredible. God I am so glad I lived during this era. It will never be beat! The whole album deserves a play dude... you wont regret it!
I’m a 65 year old lady who absolutely loves the stank face that Boston gave you!! Please listen to this entire album ! Treat yourself! 🎶💕
MollyBoy, as a 61-year-old man who grew up with this music, it thrills me to see younger generations react it. I'm glad you liked it. The 70's had the best music ever. Pure talent and pure voice. No auto-tune. No A.I. Great reaction video. 👍👍
63 here. We played Boston at our junior senior prom. Their sound has never been bettered.
60 here. Boston in concert was epic!
62 here🎶🎵🎼 I wonder if this young man understands that his audience for reaction to music videos is our generation because we want to keep this music alive
56 here and loving the jams I grew up with!!
Holy crap. I was in the 8th grade when this came out. Was great then and still kicks ass
The debut albums by Boston and the cars are the best albums ever written.
Maybe Supertramp too?
Boston's debut album was the highest selling debut in history at the time.
I have both those albums. So good.
Yes! Love The Cars!!
Van Halen also had a great debut album.
As every new generation comes along, they think "their" music is the shit. Until they are introduced to the MUSIC from the '70s & '80s. Everyone from GenX is grateful for being alive during that time. I still have my 40ish year old Boston CD, right alongside Back In Black and Moving Pictures.
Gen Jones grew up on this stuff. I can remember my brother playing guitar to all these songs on the radio. He still plays and I still listen to this music
My grandkids listen to a lot of the 70s and 80s music thanks to nana and pop!
The greatest debut album ever. Literally every song you hear on rock radio stations today.
I'd rank Queensrÿche's debut album up there as well.
An argument can be made for Toto's debut album.
Let me correct you. Greatest rock album of all time!!!!!
@dagwood00049 sorry Georgy porgy doesn't hold a candle to this. I like Toto but come on!!!lol
@@aquadime333 I actually owned both albums and listened to them all the time.
I'm 70, and this is my favourite song of all time. You'll still be listening to this when you're my age. Good review.
A “classic rock” song but Brad Delp was honestly a guy who could sing any genre and sound great. He’s one of very, very few higher pitched/clean voices that I truly enjoy
Him and Steve Perry
I was 14 when this album came out. My hot older neighbor woke me up on my birthday and handed me the record. I did not leave my room that day...too bad she did. Forever grateful to her.
One of the best things about 70s and 80s music... NO AUTO-TUNE! It's nothing but pure talent!!!
Not only a legendary song.... But it changed how records are produced
Can never get tired of Boston. Their whole first album deserves a reaction.
One of the best rock songs ever written
And one of the best rock songs ever SUNG!
Wow ...Yo, you're gonna be reacting to two EXCELLENT singing voices in history today. BOSTON and KANSAS! What a great day for you! 😮😁
Sully has incredible vocals too!! ❤
Not in the same League I agree but we also did Sully today and I absolutely LOVE Godsmack. Different era and different sound I know but they are still fucking fabulous too 💕
Are we only doing place name bands today? Is Chicago next?
I enjoy your reactions to the music of my generation. I'm 70 and still only listen to what we call classic Rock. I'm seeing the younger generations are really starting to react and enjoy the older music and appreciate that it was authentic and raw talent unlike today's music.❤
BOSTON WAS AND WILL ALWAY'S BE LEGEND
🎉🎸🎼🎵🎶🔥🎤🎹🤘 THE 70'S
Probably the greatest debut album ever!!!! The whole album is a genuine banger.
You must also remember that this was recorded before AUTO TUNE was invented.
Yes, if you could not actually _sing_ back in the day you did not get a recording contract. Today is a joke in comparison with auto-tune and pitch correction. 🙄🤷
You must remember, get off my lawn.
it was recorded in a "home studio" Tom Schultz built in a basement and engineered it all himself.

No autotune bro. Straight up talent.🤘
Song like this were made in an era that the ENTIRE album was great. Just start it and let it play, no fillers or out of place single just for the radio!!
1976 this song introduces Boston to the world...blew everyone's minds.
If not the best, then it’s one of the best first albums ever released by a rock band.
Front to back, it is 100% the best debut album of all time.

You gotta do Foreplay/longtime by Boston. Amazing stuff, prog feel in the intro, great playing and singing all around.

Yup.
Agree.. Long time and more... Most awesome!
I love it when someone discovers the greatness of songs that I discovered 45 years ago.
Boston had a sound like no other
This album was written and recorded by Tom Scholz (The guitarist in the silver jump suit) in his apartment building BASEMENT in 1974/75. That was unheard of back then, he built all of his own recording equipment (He was an engineer at Polaroid) and was an electronics genius as well as an amazing songwriter. Imagine getting these kinds of sounds on home-made analog recording equipment in a basement in the mid 70s, absolutely amazing.
Check out “Smokin’”, “Peace of Mind” and “Foreplay/Long Time”
Boston always has been and always will be one of my favorites. The epitome of rock ‘n’ roll and Arena rock!
This might be the most classic of classic rock songs. Amazing band with an actual genius at the helm, Tom went to M.I.T (I believe). He's one of those guitarists that has his own unique sound.

I wish more of the younger generation would listen to classic rock.
There are certain albums that should probably be in any vinyl collection. Boston's first album is one of them. Both a musical and engineering masterpiece.
There wasn't a single household that didn't have this album. It was ubiquitous. It belongs in a time capsule in space.

This song has always felt like Summer to me! Cruising in the car, windows down, sunny day, just chillin and jammin out!
More BOSTON: "Foreplay / Long Time", "Smokin'", and "Hitch a Ride". FYI - this video is not a live performance; the audio is a radio edit of the studio recording. The lead singer, Brad Delp (R.I.P.), sings all of the harmonies (the rest of the band is lip-syncing for the video to appear to be live). This song is the first track on their 1976 debut album, which remained the best selling debut album in history for the next 8 years.
The studio version is over a minute longer (i think it has an extra verse). That was common practice at the time, they would have a shorter AM radio version so they could cram more songs into each hour.
This is actually the studio version of the song, the entire band (even Brad) is lip-syncing to this, it was to make a promotional video - because they were an unknown band at the time. There's not even an audience in the video. They're playing to an empty room.
@@Dixey3Very common practice at the time.
@@whome1299 yes, I know, pointing it out for those who think any of this was live.
There are songs where you just kind of think they fell from heaven. They're just elevated, and never fail to soar.
Boston always brings a good feeling. It's like being enraptured in the most incredible sound. Their music lifts my spirit every single time I listen, all these years later.
The entire first Boston album is pure gold. No record collection is complete without it!
One of the greatest debut albums ever! This whole album is A THING!
Oh yeah, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands ever! Boston is a pillar of classic rock, & this album is one of best ever. I wore this cassette out cruisin the strip on the weekends back in the 80s!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤘
This entire album is perfection.
Boston's first album is amazing from beginning to end. One of thr best albums EVER recorded.
60s,70s,80s, we had the best music.
70s,90s,60s ..only about 6-7yrs are viable),10s,80s.00s there fixed it for you
@chrisross-fd3fo smoking the good stuff today I see....hahaha
@@harolddorsey9179 Harold I cant get anything by you.. Im afraid of today's good stuff. Can u imagine dropping it off in the 70s to the guys picking outt seeds and stems... Dripping like it was rolled by Rick Springfield. Looking and smelling like a 16yr old beagles front leg.. Todays good stuff is Gubmint approved catatonia.. seriously a lot of thought wemt into my decade ratings...I will say this
.the 80s have improved over time...not because of conventional 80s sound but because youtube gives us a chance to hunt down the stuff that was not promoted at all
@chrisross-fd3fo hahaha nothing like a adjustable bowl made out of brass pipe fitting.
Ok that put a smile on my face. Love watching people listen to these great songs for the first time.
