@@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv He's absolutely right. Tom Scholz was an MIT grad and Polaroid engineer; all the effects on this album were done with equipment he designed and built from scratch.
I seriously can't be friends with anyone that doesn't like Boston. If I find out someone doesn't like them - I'm out cause something is fundamentally wrong with them. 🤣🤣🤣
@Barstool Prophet Hey, just saw this. Ugh, this is hard. I’m a Gen Xer who had bunch of older cousins influencing my musical tastes, so, let’s see... Eagles, Greatest Hits...Thriller, MJ...Purple Rain, Prince...Rumors, Fleetwood Mac...Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morisette...oh, and I also love country. Bluegrass and southern gospel....so, Alison Krause + Union Station, Live (2002)... Best of the Gaither Vocal Band...Lynyrd Skynrd, Pronounced “Leh- nerd Skin-Erd”, and also Adele, Live at Royal Albert Hall...I guess that makes ten! If I had to live with those ten for the rest of my life, I’d say I’d do alright. How about you, my friend?!?
@Barstool ProphetOh, I’m with ya on lots of those. I love Yes, Kansas, Styx, and of course Led Zeppelin. It really is crazy hard to choose just 10. Funny how neither of us picked the Beatles. I like some of their songs, but for whatever reason, I just never got into the whole full on devotion thing. Maybe because they broke up before I was born, idk. If I could add one more it would be Journey, Escape. Don’t stop believing! Lol.
This album came out when I was in high school, the sound was different from anything else out there. Pretty much every song on the album got air play on the radio. Still one of my all time favorite albums. The sound layers that went into this is just phenomenal.
When this album came out in 1976 I was 17, I'm now 61 and this album is as good now as it was back then. Not 1 bad song on it. Thanks for the reaction fellas!
I was in college at Oklahoma State in 76 when this first album came out. Their music changed everything as far as classic rock. I've been listening to their music for 48 years. Trust me, it never gets old.
'What kind of song is this?' The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were a veritable cornucopia of musical styles and genres and a lot of bands that refused to be pigeonholed. I feel BLESSED to have grown up in that decade! In my humble opinion, corporations have taken mainstream music to a mundane, trite graveyard.
I was in 8th grade when this was released. My friend’s older sister called us in the house, she turned the radio up, said you guys have to hear this! What a time tk ve young.
I was 13 in 1975. I bought this album and took it to a school dance and blew kids away…and teachers! They allowed me to play this song, and everyone just freaked out. Nobody had every heard anything like this. And yet, 48 years later, here you guys are in shock.
Tom Schulz was an top MIT graduate, and aside from the master musicianship, he actually built much of the equipment that provided the unique sound qualities used in recording!
The guy in white ball cap is 🔥 fire! Loved your air guitar & drum renditions; shows you're a loyal fan with a fun personality 👍 What a phenomenal Album this is. Many of these songs are considered anthems.
Yeah, he's cool and all, but he did say Heart's Crazy On You sounded like disco! He has to redeem himself over that comment! Go #BigBlueNation! #UKAllTheWay! Peace! ✌
You guys have a LOT to look forward to with Boston. Every song you hear will be your new favorite classic rock song. Not kidding. This album is Da Bomb! Their 2nd album was great, too. But you only get to make a huge first impression splash out of nowhere once - and no one could get enough Boston in the late 70’s. I still play them - they’re so good they’re timeless. Those were happier times back then - my high school days!
I remember virtually everyone recommending this from acquaintances to guys running Record Shops. It didn't matter if you weren't familiar, they ALL said to buy it! 😎😌
Yes!!! Boston is the greatest band in history!!! My ALL time favorite!! I saw them in concert 3 times, and OMG!!......WAS absolutely on fire and AMAZING!!!! ❤🤘🏼👏🏼❤🤘🏼👏🏼
I feel so blessed that i saw BOSTON several times in my life!! You young guys..I so appreciate you keeping this music....of the best era ALIVE!! I so wish you could have lived through the era that I now hold dear to my heart..my memories so intact that give me the strength every day that I was apart of this!! Thank you guys! Keep exploring !!!
just picture this opening the show, building lights are off, sound starts rising slowly, bam, the music, the stage lights, the lasers, the strobes....the bic lighters held in the air....the fans screaming....ahhhh....miss those days
There are electro acoustics and these are plugged in. ;) But I haven't seen your reaction to this song. And never have I heard these two tracks (one is a preludium/intro), so it's awesome.
No no no stop repeating this myth. Here are the performing credits: Tom Scholz - electric guitars, lead guitar, acoustic guitars, clavinet, organ, bass guitar Brad Delp - lead and harmony vocals; acoustic guitar on "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" Sib Hashian - drums all tracks except "Rock & Roll Band" Jim Masdea - drums on "Rock & Roll Band" Barry Goudreau - rhythm guitars, lead guitars on "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" Fran Sheehan - bass guitar on "Foreplay" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight"
@@motodork It's on the liner notes of the remaster, which is repeated verbatim on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_(album) Scholz did play all instruments on the demo; he directed the other musicians to play what he played note-for-note on the release version.
Boston's' "Hitch A Ride" is just as filthy. One of the finest listens you will have in your lifetime. Yeah, thats' saying a lot, but Boston backs it up, indeed.
By the times there were not synthesizers and Pc studio samplers , real hand claps, laser sounds created with the guitar . Rockman creator . Bradley Delp legendary voice and harmonies . Boston forever!!
Late 70's, high school english lit class, me and the boys spontaneously formed our air band and this was our first hit. Teacher was rolling on the floor our performance was so good.
Boston was my 1st concert at WSU in 1978. They had just finished overseas tour and were so happy being home that they put on one of the greatest concerts Ive ever seen. Ive seen many bands living in Seattle. In high school Boston WAS the band to get people ready to party!!!!
You guys are Hilarious... Love watching this. As one of you mentioned, most of the instruments were played and recorded by Tom Scholz in his basement studio. Brad Delp was brought in to do the vocals. Not just lead but all vocals were performed by Delp, including harmony. This song changed rock for ever when it came out. Enjoyed this guys...
this song has become special for Boston fans as well as many others world wide.. the lead singer Brad Delp committed suicide and one of the notes he left had some of the lyrics from this song in it “you’ll forget about me after i’ve been gone”.. he also left seal notes for his 2 kids, ex-wife and fiancee... sorry Brad but you will never be forgotten, RIP
Who got to see Boston perform with Brad? I did 3rd row with Tom right in front of me. A near religious experience. I also saw them post Brad, great but not soul stirring. #RIPBrad
You're talking about the keyboard being so fantastic, and the guitar being so fantastic. I wonder if you realize that Tom Scholz that did BOTH of them (and drums and bass) and wrote the song?
Brad Delp, the singer, supposedly committed suicide in 2007 and Sib Hashian, the drummer, passed away in 2017. RIP to two really good musicians but you will live forever in the music.
Another FYI. Tom Scholz invented that spacey sound effect, spaceship taking off sound and invented a lot of what guitarist use to this day. I was and still is a master craftsman!!!
I loved ya'lls reaction. I saw this band in , of all places, Amarillo, TX. They had a silkscreen of a giant pipe organ that would light up when their organ played. They sounded as good live, as they do on their recordings. It was a great time to be a teenager.
The thing I love most about you guys is your appreciation to the best music from my time, 70-80's is still the best genre of music. Love seeing guys your age and even college age like my boys enjoying this music. Keep up the great work.
You guys are soooo much fun to watch. I'm so glad you have found my favorite genre. I grew up in 70' and 80's. Classic rock was just rock to us. Thank you for your genuine yet fun reaction. Subscribing now.....
My 1st concert at Washington State University in 1978. Sounded freaking fantastic. They had just finished world tour and were so happy being back home, they played hard for almost 3 hours. We couldn't sleep that night from being hyped up. ❤
My all time fave song duo by Boston!! They were well known to take FOREVER when producing an album before release. And RIP Brad. What a great set of pipes. And what a sound. No other band has ever sounded like this.
It's a blend of prog, pop, classic, metal, orchestral -but each element is in synergy with the others to amplify the final experience into one that leaves listeners spellbound. I know I was when I first heard this when it first came out when I was 15. It's as fresh today as it was then. Music will NEVER let you down, NEVER fail you, NEVER betray you.
Great reaction. Love seeing the new generations appreciate amazing music. Brad delp had such an incredible voice. Check out peace of mind next. Love that song!
To me this is an encore song: the concert is over, the band leaves the stage, lights go out; a few seconds later lights go on again and Longplay begins to sound... And the crowd goes nuts!
For what it's worth, it occurred in the middle of the album but I saw them in 1977 in junior high after this album dropped and oh my God was it a good show. A small to medium-sized Arena and it just sounded so good and everything about it was incredible. Something that cracks me up is that your friend there, just superficially and from a distance, just somehow reminds me at a glance of Sib Hashian, who was the drummer. Take a look at one of the album photos and squint your eyes a little bit and see what you think. 😅
The blending of the two songs are just phenomenal. The two songs are just iconic to the 70's and 80's. The music now, " just doesn't have the same soul" to barrow a line from another iconic song from Billy Joel. Rock On 🤟🤘👊✊. It is amazing how the younger generation are just know listening to Classic Rock Music, and learning to appreciate the music of this era. They really enjoying and experiencing the sounds and meanings behind each and every song. We need more young people listening to more Classic Rock Bands from the 70's and 80's. Just listen and let the music flow flawlessly throughout your body and sense's.
I absolutely love the the way that Ty is just freaking out over this song. I was 16 when it came out and I bought the album for home and the cassette for the car about 2 or 3 days after it came out. I wore the cassette out about 2 times.
I was in high school when this album released and I remember being stopped in my tracks when it came on the radio. It was like my brain immediately knew something was different. I waited all day to hear that song again and bought the album the next day. It blows me away that I still to this day get goosebumps every time I hear it. Thanks guys
What kind of music is this - Boys, this is Stoner Music from Back in the Day. Imagine your buddy has a cool party van with a raised bed in it and shag carpet everywhere including the walls and 4 home speakers connected to the under dash tape player and you are hangin with the boys in the park where the cops will leave you alone. The doors are closed with the top skylight open for a vent and everyone is hittin the bong and this song from Boston begins to play. Listening to this album in that condition would take your mind for a ride and you just smile during the entire time and all the stresses of the day fade away. Thats what type of music this is !!!
Funny, what's amazing was this album was recorded in a basement studio, the effects synths made by Scholz who is an MIT-trained engineer who designed a recording studio in an apartment building basement
Boston wasn't just a band, they were an experience. :)
They were Tom Sholz
Boston were....drum,voice,bass,Godreu......Great Unique style
Of
If someone asks you what rock and roll is just hand them this album.
Actually i would hand them AC DC Powerage
ACDC is closer to R&R, Chuck Berry music is Rock & Roll, and ACDC copies Chuck, this is synth/prog Rock.
@@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv Hard to call it synth/prog when (surprisingly) no synthesizers were used on this album..
@@visarr BULL.
@@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv He's absolutely right. Tom Scholz was an MIT grad and Polaroid engineer; all the effects on this album were done with equipment he designed and built from scratch.

The late, great Brad Delp, one of rock music's best voices.
Brad was on another level!
Absolutely ❤
Just pure talent. No autotune there.
This is a “stuck on a deserted island” album. Every song is fire, and they never seem to get old.

@Barstool Prophet Hey, just saw this. Ugh, this is hard. I’m a Gen Xer who had bunch of older cousins influencing my musical tastes, so, let’s see...

I am with you there. Absolutely!
God damn am I glad to have been young when music like this was being made!
I'm 62, and I'm with you.
I’m jealous of you guys!
SAME!!! I was fortunate to see the original lineup 4 times!! Fantastic shows!!!
We had the best music, the best parties, the best cars, the best weed...........................the best of times
I was 21 when Boston hit the charts in 76 never heard a sound like it tbh the memories it brings back to me and that time was fantastic
Best reaction to Foreplay/Long Time on UA-cam. You dudes reacted the way we did almost 48 years ago, Blown away.
This album came out when I was in high school, the sound was different from anything else out there. Pretty much every song on the album got air play on the radio. Still one of my all time favorite albums. The sound layers that went into this is just phenomenal.
Same, it was a revolution
@@bruceday4036 It certainly was. I remember like yesterday and it was soooo long ago! We had good music and did not know how good things were.
I love it when the young generation likes the old great hits.🎉
When this album came out in 1976 I was 17, I'm now 61 and this album is as good now as it was back then. Not 1 bad song on it. Thanks for the reaction fellas!
Amen bro. I was 16. This album blew my mind over and over. Sucked waiting for the second then nothing for a decade.
Record companies suck.
@@scottcolman9757 i was 10 now im 55 . the bands today cant hold a candle to many of the classics
I was 17 also, graduated in 1977 and Boston was fire!
Same...except I am still 60

In my humble opinion, corporations have taken mainstream music to a mundane, trite graveyard.
Amen and amen.
I got to see *ALL* the greatest rock bands *Live in their PRIME!*
No Regrets!
When your guitars sound like the space ships on the album cover, you're BADASS 😎
Did you notice that the space ships on the album cover are actually guitars?
This kind of stuff is what we should send on a spacecraft trying to discover other life. They'd rock out and think that we're friendly.
Your spaceship is an upside down guitar 😊
Brad Delp, the most beautiful voice on the planet!
I was in 8th grade when this was released. My friend’s older sister called us in the house, she turned the radio up, said you guys have to hear this! What a time tk ve young.

The albums Boston, Don't look back and Third stage are my favorite albums
It's nice to see the younger generation get into these old classics... keep these songs alive! nice job fellas
Just think of what WE thought when it was released ?? Glad to see it still has the SAME effect today !!!!
I remember virtually everyone recommending this from acquaintances to guys running Record Shops. It didn't matter if you weren't familiar, they ALL said to buy it! 😎😌
This is probably my favorite song to watch people react to! Bcz it's so fun to know what's coming & know they're going be BLOWN AWAY every time.
Yes!!! Boston is the greatest band in history!!! My ALL time favorite!! I saw them in concert 3 times, and OMG!!......WAS absolutely on fire and AMAZING!!!! ❤🤘🏼👏🏼❤🤘🏼👏🏼
I actually have the original vinyl record .... a prized possession.
Me too! And you saw it EVERYWHERE in 1976-77. What a time it was.
Me too!
Yep still have it
Same.
I have a picture discuss with the album cover art on it.
I feel so blessed that i saw BOSTON several times in my life!! You young guys..I so appreciate you keeping this music....of the best era ALIVE!!

Foreplay is one of the best intros of all time! And it was actually considered a stand alone song by Scholz.
Everytime I hear something great I’m just in awe of what humans can do
I can't think about high school without thinking about Boston. The best of times and the very best music.
I saw them Sep 23, 1978 . Anaheim Stadium, Boston / Black Sabbath / Van Halen / Sammy Hagar
Nice reaction. More Than A Feeling and Don’t Look Back are required Boston listening. They are their two other 5 ⭐️ songs.
‘Two other 5 star songs! Two! You are kidding right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are electro acoustics and these are plugged in. ;) But I haven't seen your reaction to this song. And never have I heard these two tracks (one is a preludium/intro), so it's awesome.
this song is fire!
Dude in the white hat......I love watching your reactions! You make my 65 year old heart smile! Oh.....and Go Colts!
Fun fact: Tom Scholz recorded the entire album himself, and played all instruments (except the drums).
I miss Sib.
Almost. Barry plays all the guitar solos on this song and both he and Brad played guitar on Let Me Take You Home Tonight.

Best Boston reaction I have seen so far.
We appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Love Boston the band and the city ! Will never forget Brad Delp as his voice rings true for generations to come. RIP
By the times there were not synthesizers and Pc studio samplers , real hand claps, laser sounds created with the guitar . Rockman creator . Bradley Delp legendary voice and harmonies . Boston forever!!
So cool to hear young kids loving GREAT music and great bands...
My kids were raised on Boston and the classics.... they still love it....
Late 70's, high school english lit class, me and the boys spontaneously formed our air band and this was our first hit. Teacher was rolling on the floor our performance was so good.
So many memories. I do miss those good times from my teenage years. I bought this album when it was new when I was 16.

Hahaha, my guy in the white cap plays a glorious air guitar! Great reaction fellas!
The guy with the white cap has got rhythm. He'd be a great drummer. I would know after 45 years.
He has played drums in the past 🥁
This song is Boston saying: "Hey guys, we're Boston. Here's what we're about. Prepare yourselves."
Roundabout by yes that's a good one

Is that right? My understanding is he wrote words along the lines of ‘I am such a lonely soul’
@@martinkulkarni3569 he did write that as well.. he was a lonely soul for sure, even with family in his life
I was about your age when Boston became one of my favorite bands .... All their songs on this album was fire.
You should also check out Rainbow w/ Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Another 70s band that is great. The song Stargazer is epic.
🦋 The BuildUps in this song! 🎶🙌🎶 Party Music!

One of the greatest debut’s album ever
I wore this album out, bought another, then another then the CD. Saw them play this live, incredible.
The thing I love most about you guys is your appreciation to the best music from my time, 70-80's is still the best genre of music. Love seeing guys your age and even college age like my boys enjoying this music. Keep up the great work.
I ALWAYS LOVED THEM BUT IN THE SONG ABOUT MARYANN WALKING AWAY THAT HAPPENED TO ME AT THE BEACH 1960.I AM A MAN BUT I CRIED WHEN I HEARD THAT SONG
Look at the "UFO" again.....
It's a Guitar Shaped UFO ✌😎
Brad Delp the voice of an angel ( rock angel )
This is obviously one of the best first albums produced by any band ever I can name some equivalents but most people wouldn't have heard of them
I was ten when this came out. Great band...imagine this the soundtrack to your summer.
You guys are soooo much fun to watch. I'm so glad you have found my favorite genre. I grew up in 70' and 80's. Classic rock was just rock to us.
Thank you for your genuine yet fun reaction. Subscribing now.....
You put a smile on my face just seeing how much y'all are enjoying yourself. The spaceships are guitars, see the frets and neck.
You guys are so cute. I was laughing at your enthusiasm. Can't sit still with Boston.
I was 16 years old and I was over a friend's house and he put on this album. Truly a classic!
My 1st concert at Washington State University in 1978. Sounded freaking fantastic. They had just finished world tour and were so happy being back home, they played hard for almost 3 hours. We couldn't sleep that night from being hyped up. ❤
My all time fave song duo by Boston!! They were well known to take FOREVER when producing an album before release. And RIP Brad. What a great set of pipes. And what a sound. No other band has ever sounded like this.
It's a blend of prog, pop, classic, metal, orchestral -but each element is in synergy with the others to amplify the final experience into one that leaves listeners spellbound. I know I was when I first heard this when it first came out when I was 15. It's as fresh today as it was then. Music will NEVER let you down, NEVER fail you, NEVER betray you.
"Are you serious...?" Hahahaha!! :)
On the album cover, the ships are guitars. Each one represents the cities leaving Earth as it explodes.
The "space ships" are actually guitars flying upside down!!!😉😉🎵🎼🎶🎧🎸🥁🎹🎙
so many layers to this song about a simple thing!!😁😉🤟🤘👍❤
Great reaction. Love seeing the new generations appreciate amazing music. Brad delp had such an incredible voice.
Check out peace of mind next. Love that song!
To me this is an encore song: the concert is over, the band leaves the stage, lights go out; a few seconds later lights go on again and Longplay begins to sound... And the crowd goes nuts!
Songs that make you wanna LIVE!!!!!
For what it's worth, it occurred in the middle of the album but I saw them in 1977 in junior high after this album dropped and oh my God was it a good show. A small to medium-sized Arena and it just sounded so good and everything about it was incredible.

I can't imagine going through life never having heard Boston. 💖🏵️♥️🍁🥀🌷💓🌹💜
Definitely one of the best songs ever!!
know this album front and back...saw them in concert in 1978 wow!!!!
RIP Brad Delp
The blending of the two songs are just phenomenal. The two songs are just iconic to the 70's and 80's. The music now, " just doesn't have the same soul" to barrow a line from another iconic song from Billy Joel. Rock On 🤟🤘👊✊. It is amazing how the younger generation are just know listening to Classic Rock Music, and learning to appreciate the music of this era. They really enjoying and experiencing the sounds and meanings behind each and every song. We need more young people listening to more Classic Rock Bands from the 70's and 80's. Just listen and let the music flow flawlessly throughout your body and sense's.
You can easily be impressed with at least a dozen of Boston’s songs, even their latest stuff.
The drummer for Boston, Sib Hashian (R.I.P) was The Rocks father in law
One of the greatest rock albums ever recorded! May the best!
I absolutely love the the way that Ty is just freaking out over this song. I was 16 when it came out and I bought the album for home and the cassette for the car about 2 or 3 days after it came out. I wore the cassette out about 2 times.
The first album where every song received radio play.

Funny, what's amazing was this album was recorded in a basement studio, the effects synths made by Scholz who is an MIT-trained engineer who designed a recording studio in an apartment building basement
This album just TOOK OVER when it came out. It was so different, and yet so pure in its sound. Constant play - the whole album
