I was 16 years old when this came out. I was a mess. I had alcoholic parents, my sister was married and moved away, I was alone and totally wanting to be loved and to love someone. This song is amazing. Tonight, I took my wife out to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. I found my Amanda.
The bottom line is, you're happy as we speak. I am always amazed how a great piece of music and a beautiful voice can remind us of any particular moment in life. Good luck the rest of the way and happy 34th !
@@leopresnell8653 me three! Saw them twice with the great Brad Delp and one of those shows he sung with Fran cosmo. They would take turns singing the really high notes. Orion the Hunter with Fran is a phenomenal album start to finish.
I was a professional rock drummer in the late 60's and early 70's'. I'll never forget the first time I heard them (it was 'Peace of Mind' - still my favorite) ... it was an Epic experience! Saw them live as soon as possible and was amazed at how much the concert sounded exactly like the album. To this day, they're the most 'melodically versatile and precise' band I've ever heard. ✌ ^v^
'A Man I'll Never Be" is even deeper than this song, "Foreplay/Long Time" is astounding in musicality and will rock you to the core. One man -Tom Scholz wrote and recorded the songs and guitar, keyboards etc. by himself before bringing in the singer and drummer. A true genius!
Yes he was you can go on UA-cam and watch the whole story of Boston the band they call it really interesting he takes you to his childhood home where he did all that in the basement call
Boston is an American rock band who had their biggest success in the 70's-80's. They had a lot of great songs such as "More Than A Feeling", "Peace Of Mind", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Rock & Roll Band", "Smokin'", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be", "Feelin' Satisfied", "We're Ready", "Amanda" etc.
You know that first album there wasn’t one song that did not get play time on the radio I had probably at least 20 to 25 friends and everyone of them had the album when that album came out word got out everybody went out and got that album
Went and bought this album The Third Stage right after basic training in 1986. Wore that cassette out many times over. Another song I would like to see you react to is A Man I’ll Never Be. ✌️
I've always loved Boston!! The late great Brad Delp had a voice like no other, and Tom Schultz had a guitar tone that was as sweet as honey. This band crafted their songs with such attention to detail. COOL THE ENGINES is another great tune from the Third Stage album...check it out. 😉
I was so happy yesterday when I saw your reaction video to More Than A Feeling but I couldn't comment right away because I was watching it on my TV. I then imagined what would be your reaction like to Amanda. Lo and behold, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this reaction video, only this time I'm watching from my laptop and I would be able to comment. This is my favorite Boston song and I first heard it in 1986, the year it was released. I was a teenager then and the song stuck in my memory forever because that was the best teenage year of my life. In 2009, when my youngest daughter was born, I named her after the song to remind myself of the beautiful memories of my favorite teenage year. Amanda will be thirteen next year and she's growing up to be a beautiful young girl. I wish you two a great and prosperous New Year 2022 and beyond. This is your friend from the Fiji Island.✌
Asia & BJ, their masterpiece is "Foreplay/Long Time". It is for them like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" or Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven". It's a long, complex really powerful song that will make your jaws drop, I guarantee it. It's really popular and still played constantly on rock stations today.
I remember when this song was released, a LONG time after "more than a feeling", and it kinda got panned by the critics for being too much of a throwback style because it didn't fit in with the current style of music going round. But if you listen to it ignoring all of that, it's just really a great song.
Good point. Looking back, a lot of us, (I know I did), mistook the band's unique sound for just the sound of that era. I guess you have to be pretty iconic for people to make that mistake. But yeah, I remember this album feeling out of sync with what was going on at that time, so it did feel 'old,' like they weren't growing or something. But had I listened to it more like a Rolling Stones album, (which I never minded when it sounded like a Rolling Stones album), then I suspect this would have seemed less like clinging to past success, and more like another album by a band with an iconic rock sound.
While Marianne in More Than a Feeling is based on a real person. Cousin of the writer/guitarist Tom Sholz whom he had a little crush on back in the day, AMANDA is not a real person, it was the first name that came to mind when they were needing one to fit the song lyrically and rhythmically. Other three-syllable female first names could work, but they found a winner first try and didn't even try others. Your first two Boston reactions are written ten years apart. There are seven other songs on their first album to react to, and a handful from their second.
Alright. I have a special request for you people that do reactions. Make us old timers, that grew up on this music, a video describing how you feel about our old music. We really like watching your reactions to things like the lyrics, solos, etc... It makes us smile when you are pleasantly surprised with an old classic. I graduated high school in 76 and all of this was on the radio every day. It's great to see young people discover what we had back in the day. Thanks in advance. Everyone give a thumbs up on this comment if you think this is a good idea.
I truly appreciate your words. I just heard this reaction from them today and was going to write something similar, except I graduated in '79. I am thoroughly blessed having grown up in the Era where I could listen to all the great music i.e. Pop, Rock, R&B etc, and never allowed anyone to label me, just because I was black. So much so, I raised my kids and now grandkids on this. Thanks again #Kindred Spirit
@@headedsomewhere Thanks for the reply. Do you remember back then our music wasn't separate. All of us liked all of the music. It was all on one radio station.
Asia LOVES Boston!!!! So she definitely will enjoy this!!!! This BJ's song to Asia!!!! And we or I have another song that BJ can play for Asia is "And You and I" by the Progressive legendary Rock group-YES!!!!!
Tom Sholz is an amazing songwriter, musician and producer, the whole project is his vision, he fought with his record company on every release because he would take years to perfect each song and album, bunch of lawsuits ensued, it was ridiculous, but at the end of the day his sound & vision was 100% perfect.
BJ hit the jackpot and he knows it. Speaking of BJ.....he just exudes common sense and intelligence. A very perceptive, aware man. I like his vibe....a lot. He reminds me of my best friend. They say that you choose your friends based upon attributes that you admire and wish to emulate. BJ has got them.
It always took about 3 years between albums but when one came out it was fantastic beginning to end. Not a weak song on any of their albums. Just remember that behind every good man is a great woman.
I'm 51 and I've seen them 4 times in concert. It's the only concert I've been to where middle aged men stand on their chairs in suits and play air guitar unashamedly.
Oh, so y'all jumped straight into Third Stage. Good Choice on this reaction. Amanda is a great song. As it happens Boston Third Stage was the first CD I ever bought. Still have it. It went into my new Sony portable CD player I got for Christmas 1986. Good Memories. !986 was a good year. From Journey's Raised on Radio "The Girl Can't Help It", and Van Halen's 5150 Album "Why Can't This Be Love" and Boston's Holly Ann from this same album. Thanks and God Bless.
"Foreplay/Long Time" and "Peace of Mind" are both must listens. But Boston in general you cant go wrong, especially their debut album. Loving these reactions!
Try Dave Loggins ( Please Come to Boston, ) (CSN southern Cross,) ( Bob Seger Like a ROCK , ) ( Cool Change Little river band ) ( Thunder Island J Ferguson) ( Sylvia's mother Dr. Hook )
"Amanda" is off their 3rd album (on which I also love "I Think I Like It") and helped define what a "Power Ballad" is. Their 2nd album has "Don't Look Back" and "Feelin' Satisfied" I also like "Foreplay/Long Time"
ASIA- BJ CAN YALL PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO '' Moses Sumney - Quarrel [Official Audio]'' PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING ON THIS BROTHA. HE IS THE FUTURE 2DAY GIVE HIM SOME LOVE , AND FEEL HIS VIBE
"soft rock" "Dad rock" "Corporate rock". They could fall into any or all of these. The truth is - it's great fkn music and timeless! Easy on the ears, powerful on your soul.
You have just listened to 2 of their slower, softer songs . . . . Try Smokin' or Party, or anything on the first 3 albums at first. One guy did it all. Tom Scholz an MIT graduate in electrical engineering, working at Polaroid. Wrote it, played everything, recorded/produced it, invented technology, used no computers or synthesizers. All in his basement. Brad Delp the singer laid down the vocals after.
Guys....You will Love either Foreplay/Longtime or Peace of Mind....The 2 best Boiston songs....I assure you will Love em!!...Keep doin what you do..You guys rock!
"Boston" is not a soft-Rock band. They're a hard-Rock band that had the versatility to record a few very good slower ballads. Songs that are more characteristic of their style are: "Foreplay/Long Time", "Smokin'", "Don't Look Back", and "Cool the Engines".
Boy, I do love this song. This song was their one and only #1 hit song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the fall of 1986. I do love their follow-up to this song. We're Ready was also a Top 10 hit from the same album, Third Stage. Two awesome songs, indeed!!!
It seems like Amanda is his good friend, with whom he falls in love. He's afraid of losing her friendship if he crosses that line into love. If she doesn't love him back, he will feel uncomfortable, and perhaps the friendship will end.
Boston was my 1st concert at WSU in 1978. We were blown away after almost 3 hours of power and we danced and drank on campus till sunrise. I've seen many bands and Boston with Brad singing and Tom Schultz MIT genius mastering their great music. In 1977 you couldn't drive without hearing a Boston song. We had 8 track tapes and thought we were so freaking cool. lol. Before someone says you're old, I'm a young 62 yr old rocker chick. 😉❤
You should go if you have time go look up the making of Boston the making of the band it will blow your mind how they were brought about to even become a band Tom Scholz the lead guitarist you hear he put all this together in his basement he’s a genius at MIT he graduated from he had each one of them come in play their part on his machines that he made just look at it it’ll blow your mind how good they are they weren’t even a band when this album was released
Boston is a band that can pull off the "Soft-Rock" love ballads with class and style. If you want to check out a different band that can pull that off too, try Marillion doing "Dry Land" live in Holland 2011. They're more prog, but the two songs could go on a romantic playlist really well. I enjoy the chemistry between you two!
Boston, is one of my favorites! Brad Delp is the lead vocalist, but unfortunately and sadly he is no longer with us because he committed suicide! I can relate to Brad because I have struggled with suicide myself! Thank you for reacting to them!
Tom Scholz is like Neal Peart in that they are the ultimate technicians. Echoing some of the other comments, if you like the emotion of this song, listen to Don't Look Back with the lyrics. You won't be disappointed.
Boston is one of 4 bands that became the music I loved growing up... I can listen to the ehole third stage album on repeat and never get bored with it.
I was 16 years old when this came out. I was a mess. I had alcoholic parents, my sister was married and moved away, I was alone and totally wanting to be loved and to love someone. This song is amazing. Tonight, I took my wife out to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. I found my Amanda.
Happy for you my man. Looking forward to meeting mine
Happy life, stay strong bro and know you're on the right path. Many more happy anniversaries.
Thanks for sharing your story. I needed to hear at this very moment. Blessing to you and your Amanda.
The bottom line is, you're happy as we speak. I am always amazed how a great piece of music and a beautiful voice can remind us of any particular moment in life. Good luck the rest of the way and happy 34th !
You better keep her my man. 34 years is a long time.
Bradley Delp's voice is truly timeless 💖 Miss him so much 🙏🏻😢
Yes
Phenomenal vocalist. I got the privilege of seeing them perform live.
Me too!! The goat
@@leopresnell8653 me three! Saw them twice with the great Brad Delp and one of those shows he sung with Fran cosmo. They would take turns singing the really high notes. Orion the Hunter with Fran is a phenomenal album start to finish.
Good quality headphones are a must when listening to Boston.

Ditto to "A Man I'll Never Be". Phenomenal song.
If you do a man I’ll never be please do the studio version
Brad’s voice…, he was always magical.
This band went through a lot of challenges, but imo they never released one single bad song. Tom Scholtz is a genius, and may Brad Delp rest well.
Boston is an American rock band who had their biggest success in the 70's-80's.

"Hitch a Ride", "Hollyann", "Cool the Engines" ... just to add a few more.
Smokin is a banger

Gawd that riff in Man I’ll Never Be!
Brad's voice is at his best, my favorite Boston song
Bingo...I was 16 and played the cassette SO much it broke....Great voice and band !!!
My God daughter was named Amanda because of this song.
Check out Hitch a Ride, Smokin' or Foreplay Longtime 🔥
When one of my little cousins were 5 or 6 years old, he would randomly bust out singing this to me. ❤
Great great band I was lucky enough to see them live and they sounded great. Any Boston song is great.
Great reaction. Cool The Engines from this next. Awesome band. R.I.P. Brad.
I've always loved Boston!! The late great Brad Delp had a voice like no other, and Tom Schultz had a guitar tone that was as sweet as honey. This band crafted their songs with such attention to detail. COOL THE ENGINES is another great tune from the Third Stage album...check it out. 😉
Cool the Engines is fire 🔥🔥 add The Launch to the beginning … stoopid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@lisaheathcock7924 wow ashamed that I forgot cool the engines!!!! Preeeesh!!!
And JR
For me Third Stage has kind of a theme. The whole thing is like a rocket ride to Amanda.
The late great Brad Delp had a voice like no other... could not have said it better... R.I.P.
RIP Brad Delp. Look up Brad isolated with just his vocals and you will be amazed at his range !
Always beautiful reaction from two beautiful people, pls do carry on
You need to react to Boston's "Rock and Roll Band" if you haven't already.
The title gives it away..............
I was so happy yesterday when I saw your reaction video to More Than A Feeling but I couldn't comment right away because I was watching it on my TV.

"A Man I'll Never Be" is also awesome.
A man I'll Never be is one of their best songs!! I was so in love with Brad Delp! Such a beautiful voice!
100% the Live version
Gotta follow this up with,A Man I'll Never Be.It's deep.Then follow up with my favorite Boston song,Let Me Take You Home Tonight!💋
Great song! Love this band, thanks for reacting to it
There is a lot more gold to be mined from them off their first album - imho. Go back to that one and listen to ….well- all of it quite frankly.
Do Journeys “Faithfully” album version , If you like a guy professing his love for his woman !
YES!!!!....CHECK OUT HITCH A RIDE...ROCKIN ROLL BAND AND FOREPLAY/LONG TIME.
The self titled album Boston is one of the best ever recorded!!!!!
Power Ballad. Another great Power Ballad is 'When I see you smile' by Bad English
Asia & BJ, their masterpiece is "Foreplay/Long Time". It is for them like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" or Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven". It's a long, complex really powerful song that will make your jaws drop, I guarantee it. It's really popular and still played constantly on rock stations today.
Absolutely correct. But I'm still partial to "Smokin'" because back in the day, I was lighting up to this band often.
@@proudliberal605 Smokin blows away Foreplay/Long Time, for it is purist Boston. The others are just a small notch below yet formidable, for me.
"Sirius/Eye in the Sky" ~ Alan Parsons Project
@@douglasstrother6584you're in the wrong string skippy.

Great reaction! Thank you, guys.
Thank you for sharing...love it!
Great band, a class of it's own. RIP Brad Delp, 1951-2007...
Foreplay / longtime by Boston is another great !
I named my dog after one of their songs, HOLLYANN. They were excellent in concert.

Check out Boston Longtime/Foreplay. Best song!
I was lucky enough to see Boston in an arena concert w/Sammy Hagar opening for them on 6/18/1979.
I sooooo Love the smile Asia has when she listens to Boston…..
Right?
Boston's "Don''t look back" is the my all time favorire song! Thier singer Brad Delp has most beautiful voice, RiIP Brd Delp!
Boston, soft rock? Now that's funny. Seriously they have some really rocking songs.
Major respect to you B.J. for letting Asia know she's it for you. It's a great song, and you're a great couple.
Well said !
BJ hit the jackpot and he knows it. Speaking of BJ.....he just exudes common sense and intelligence. A very perceptive, aware man. I like his vibe....a lot. He reminds me of my best friend.

What a lovely song! 🎸👏🏾😄
"Gonna hitch a ride" hands down one of the best guitar solo's you will ever hear, also a cool little keyboard solo.
TOTALLY agree!! By far my fav song by Boston!
Epic guitar solo outro
One of my top favorite ballads. Another one is We're All Alone by Boz Scaggs. Would love to hear a reaction to that.
YAY!!! 🥰🥰🔥🔥🤘🤘 so stinkin’ Beautiful!!!!!!
Thanks for reacting to that song-I haven’t belted that one out in a long time, ha! Great band!
I'm 51 and I've seen them 4 times in concert. It's the only concert I've been to where middle aged men stand on their chairs in suits and play air guitar unashamedly.
I saw them without Brad Delp😪 in Michigan with the Home Depot guy. Boston fans know......
Foreplay/Longtime is epic, y'all!!
Oh, so y'all jumped straight into Third Stage. Good Choice on this reaction. Amanda is a great song. As it happens Boston Third Stage was the first CD I ever bought. Still have it. It went into my new Sony portable CD player I got for Christmas 1986. Good Memories. !986 was a good year. From Journey's Raised on Radio "The Girl Can't Help It", and Van Halen's 5150 Album "Why Can't This Be Love" and Boston's Holly Ann from this same album. Thanks and God Bless.
I went to a Boston concert in 1977 and blew me away. An upbeat song is “Smokin” a great song.
Power ballads were big from the 70's up. This young man's voice was as good or better than most at this time. Great choice of great love song.
"Foreplay/Long Time" and "Peace of Mind" are both must listens. But Boston in general you cant go wrong, especially their debut album. Loving these reactions!
Ain't that just beautiful?
I cry every time and time 61 now, I rushed to the record store and bought it for my wife the first day I heard it in 1986!
Try Dave Loggins ( Please Come to Boston, ) (CSN southern Cross,) ( Bob Seger Like a ROCK , ) ( Cool Change Little river band ) ( Thunder Island J Ferguson) ( Sylvia's mother Dr. Hook )
You can pick any song by Boston you'll love like smokin, rock n roll band and hitch a ride
"Amanda" is off their 3rd album (on which I also love "I Think I Like It") and helped define what a "Power Ballad" is.
Their 2nd album has "Don't Look Back" and "Feelin' Satisfied"
I also like "Foreplay/Long Time"
Try “hands to heaven”- Breathe
“Broken Wings”- Mr Mister
“I believe”- Brooks and Dunn
“I want to know what love is”- Foreigner
Boston
Rock and Roll Band
Smokin
A Man I’ll never be. Worth a listen. Thank you peace ✌️
ASIA- BJ CAN YALL PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO '' Moses Sumney - Quarrel [Official Audio]'' PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING ON THIS BROTHA. HE IS THE FUTURE 2DAY
GIVE HIM SOME LOVE , AND FEEL HIS VIBE
"soft rock" "Dad rock" "Corporate rock".
They could fall into any or all of these. The truth is - it's great fkn music and timeless! Easy on the ears, powerful on your soul.
i love it when the younger generations react to the music i grew up on and loves it
This song is so relaxing
What Asia is trying to say is their perfect total perfection!
Boston’s debut album sold almost as many as Michael Jackson’s thriller albums did.
When America discovered Boston they exploded. The power chords, harmonies, and amazing energy blew us all away!
And now a new generation is discovering just how talented they were
React Lou rawls - you'll never find another love like mine .
Is a classic , one of the most unique voices of all the 70's ♡.
You have just listened to 2 of their slower, softer songs . . . . Try Smokin' or Party, or anything on the first 3 albums at first. One guy did it all.

I've always just thought of them as classic rock
You two are just great people,I can tell. Very respectful to great music….
Boy, I do love this song. This song was their one and only #1 hit song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the fall of 1986. I do love their follow-up to this song. We're Ready was also a Top 10 hit from the same album, Third Stage. Two awesome songs, indeed!!!
I saw Boston at WSU in 1978. They blew us away! We were awed by their sound. Brad's voice is killer. ❤
Go Cougs!
This song went number 1 without a video which was the first to happen during this get time.
Boston was awesome. Very melodic. Too bad they only had 3 albums. They were perfectionists when it came to their albums and also rarely toured.
Lucky to see them in St Louis on this tour in 1987
It seems like Amanda is his good friend, with whom he falls in love. He's afraid of losing her friendship if he crosses that line into love. If she doesn't love him back, he will feel uncomfortable, and perhaps the friendship will end.
Hey you guys check out the song, Till your love comes back around Video by the group RTZ, the same guy that sang for Boston...
Boston was my 1st concert at WSU in 1978. We were blown away after almost 3 hours of power and we danced and drank on campus till sunrise. I've seen many bands and Boston with Brad singing and Tom Schultz MIT genius mastering their great music. In 1977 you couldn't drive without hearing a Boston song. We had 8 track tapes and thought we were so freaking cool. lol. Before someone says you're old, I'm a young 62 yr old rocker chick. 😉❤
You should go if you have time go look up the making of Boston the making of the band it will blow your mind how they were brought about to even become a band Tom Scholz the lead guitarist you hear he put all this together in his basement he’s a genius at MIT he graduated from he had each one of them come in play their part on his machines that he made just look at it it’ll blow your mind how good they are they weren’t even a band when this album was released
do a live stream of their first album best debut album in history every song a hit. also check out a man Ill never be
Can't go wrong with Boston. check out "ROCK & ROLL BAND" great song about struggling to make it, then being discovered.
Boston is a band that can pull off the "Soft-Rock" love ballads with class and style. If you want to check out a different band that can pull that off too, try Marillion doing "Dry Land" live in Holland 2011. They're more prog, but the two songs could go on a romantic playlist really well. I enjoy the chemistry between you two!
Kayleigh. And the song Lavender
A lot of girls born later the year this song came out were named "Amanda". Great ballad from a great band.
Boston, is one of my favorites! Brad Delp is the lead vocalist, but unfortunately and sadly he is no longer with us because he committed suicide! I can relate to Brad because I have struggled with suicide myself! Thank you for reacting to them!
I love this song. Thanks for having me over to hang out.
Boston is what you said Asia!
❤️🙏🤘🏼
Another great song from Boston is Smokin
Shout out from Australia, love the channel. Dire straits brothers in arms or INXS never tear us apart.

Tom Scholz is like Neal Peart in that they are the ultimate technicians. Echoing some of the other comments, if you like the emotion of this song, listen to Don't Look Back with the lyrics. You won't be disappointed.
