I'll tell ya man ... as a father I can't begin to tell you how much your Dad must be enjoying your experience with all this music. It brings ME joy and you're not even my kid.
And his grandad! I was a 16 when I first heard this in 1985 cruisin in a friend's 1977 camaro blasting it. I proceeded to wear out a couple of CDs - and the records when I got my hands on them. I'm 54, now!
And there ya go - ecstacy on vinyl! No computers, no autotune; just very talented musicians doing their thing. Brad Delp is one of the top vocalists of rock in my book. RIP Brad. You are indeed in for a treat with this whole album as well as the second.
And recorded this album in his basement, holy crap, nowadays "in my basement" is a term for a multi million dollar recording studio that you have downstairs
One of the greatest debut lps of all time. Tom Scholz, the guitarist, was an MIT guy who did all the recording, etc. Record company said they wouldn't take it unless it was redone in studio with "professional " engineers. He said "ok", waited a while, sent in his original takes and they loved it! I was in 10th grade. Blew us away. Lead singer was a factory worker who sang on the side...I forget without looking it up where he worked. Tom Scholz used AVID speakers in his studio and I had the model one step down! Before the lp came out...was my 16th bday present. Harmon-Carden 330c receiver and a BIC turntable. Good times. Les Paul guitar, btw Great in concert...just like the lp. Scholz's guitar shot sparks out of the bottom in one song! Great to test a stereo with... EDIT: do the whole lp!
@@scottzappa9314 oh.. I've seen those in publications. It saw his picture in 78? in his studio with the speakers on his shelves. He was wearing headphones and smiling. I proably still have that old Hit Pararder magazine . They were awesome hi-fidelity speakers...niche at the time
Yes yes! That debut album was phenomenal. You could play that album and not go wrong at all. I had it on 8-track when it first came out! Also, they were my first concert and when I was in 9th grade I saw them in a fairly small venue and it was so good live I mean I was blown away. The harmonies and the whole band just freaking rocked. I think the ticket price was $7.50.
Now that is the kind of reaction people use to have back when the world had never before heard the sounds that came forth from this album!! How Fantastc you got to hear this for the first time!! It's a memory you will carry your life through!
I am 66 years old. Maybe your grandparents age. This song was released in September 1976. I had just turned 20. Loved it then....still love it now. We were so lucky to have such great music back then. Listen to the rest of the album. It's awesome.
Delp's range was incredible and this song is definitely iconic. I mean, instrumentally, vocally and lyrically, this song is an example of what can only be called Great Music. I was a teenager in the 70s and remember my brother having this album, and there were a lot of strong bands that put out great music in that decade. Probably why my son prefers 70s music over some of the modern stuff
I was 15 when this album came out, my older brother bought it and played the heck out of it. It makes me smile to see a teenager from 2022 getting so excited to hear our old music from 46 years ago! Makes an old dude happy.😄
Silas is an instant Boston fan! I don't know anyone who hasn't been blown away by Boston. Their debut album has to be one of the greatest albums ever let alone debut's! Silas - you're feeling the music is the purest reason for watching. Pure joy and emotions! Great reaction. Onwards to the rest of the album and beyond! So good
Yes The Whole Album Is Like This..When It Was Released,, Record Stores Couldn't Keep It In Stock,, When They Got In Their Shipment,, It Would Be Sold Out In Under An Hour.
When I got my first car it had no working radio but I bought a cassette player and some good-sized speakers and wired it all up. I had, I think, 4 cassettes with music on them from 8 different albums. This included the first two Boston albums. I played those Boston cassettes more than I did all the other music combined. Trip to the store, I played Boston. Trip to my friend's house, I played Boston. Ten hour road trip to another state to see family, I played Boston. Wasn't just the sound, amazing as that was, but the lyrics too. I was young, figuring out who I wanted to be, and the lyrics from some of the Boston songs helped determine what some of those things were going to be.
The rest of the album is just like this... I recall when this album came out my best friends girl was named Maryanne... every time I hear this song it reminds me of them both (may they rest in peace). You will fall in love with Brad's voice... like so many of us did in the 70's. (may he also rest in peace)
Boston's debut album is one of the rarest of rare albums which has no clunkers on it. Every song is just a little bit better than the song just before it. Can't wait to see your reaction to "Foreplay/Long Time"......the guitar and vocals in that one will make your face melt from the awesomeness of it!
My band was doing a demo with Brad's engineer and Brad stopped by the session. Long story short he invited us back to his New Hampshire house for Chinese. He was the nicest person... gentle and generous. A genius with extraordinary talents. A memory for the ages. Glad you appreciated this song.
Your reaction was priceless. I played the album so many times in my youth that I wore it out. The fact the guy put alot of this album together in his basement is a testament to his talent and ingenuity. Would put modern day studios to shame. Your gonna luv the rest of the album.
Out of all the reactors on UA-cam, you,by far,are the most contagious!! This is the music I grew up with, I'm proud to say! I'm 55 and react the same enthusiastic way as you! I also cant stay in my seat., the music moves you to a whole different level than you were on when it started!! Mind blowing!! You will not be able to choose one song as a favorite when its over!!
I saw Boston in concert in the late 70's on a beautiful spring/summer day at a football stadium in Raleigh, NC. It was soon after the album was released. We sat on the football field on a blanket, smoked a little pot, and listened to them jam. It was awesome! Nice to see young people today show respect for the music we loved when we were young.
One of the best debut albums in history. My cousin Tom introduced me to this kind of music when i was 11. Such great memories of listening to this album on Sundays when we'd visit his family. My cousin Tom passed away last year so every time I listen to Boston, Kansas,and Peter Frampton i think of him. RIP Tom,youll be loved and missed always 😢❤
Yep, the whole album is a masterpiece, not a bad song on it. It's a rare thing for an album to have every song on it an actual hit but, this is one of them. I was in high school when this album came out. My brother heard just one song and knew he had to get the 8-track tape. I listened to that tape over and over.This is absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time.
You know what I notice about younger guys and gals that listen to classic music in general for the first time, and when it’s a song like this or other songs that are timeless and unforgettable, the kids of today recognize the greatness of the song IMMEDIATELY! A great song is a great song, and they almost ALWAYS have reactions like this young man! Loved it!!!!!
This is THE best reaction ever to Boston's More Than A Feeling. Your enthusiasm is so heartfelt and genuine. Really enjoyed watching you enjoy Boston as much as we all do. Subscribed.
Kid... You've slapped a huge smile on my face, taking me back to when I was in high school and first hearing this masterpiece. It had the same kind of effect on so many of us then as it has had on you today... and frankly, when I still hear it all these decades later, it still stops me in my tracks. We thought then that it was pure magic, but nearly 50 years later, you help to confirm that it essentially comes to us from another realm.
*Dude! The rest of the album IS like that!! Just discovered your channel. YEP, Boston's production values were the GOAT! We were all blown away by them back in the '70s! Keep up the good work! I think you'd love the bands Heart and Journey, too!*
Hey man! I love the feeling you put into these Boston tracks. Tom Sholz was the brain behind Boston. No disrespect to any of the other band members. Tom recorded and mixed this in his basement studio at home. No Protools or Autotune way back then! Harmonies were on tape and couldn't be copied and pasted. They got it perfect every single time. Awesome! The late Brad Delp on vocals...what an incredible voice he was blessed with!! RIP man. Such a loss to music :( Tom Sholz (guitar)...just pure genius and once in a lifetime. Read his bio. You will be amazed. BTW...your dad rocks! I am an old man today but I will never forget the awesome music we listened to :) Thank you for the music!
@andreoosthuizen2634 It is a well documented fact and also well known that this record was not mixed at Toms home studio. It is well known and documented that this record was mixed at Westlake Studios in LA. It is also a well known and well documented fact that ALL of Brads vocals were recorded by Boylan in big name studios in LA. It is also well known and well documented that the entire song Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was recorded by the band as pictured on the back of the record at The Record Plant LA studio
So proud to see you checking out Boston! I absolutely love this band they are iconic and I know you'll enjoy it! Dude the whole album is like this there's not one bad song on this album!!
One of my favorite songs of all time. I can still remember when I first heard it, as a 20-year old in the Fall of 1976. I immediately went to a local record store to buy the album. Seeing your first-time reaction was worth waiting 46 years to see....
Great Reaction Silas! I don't believe I've seen you get more excited from a song, not even with Zeppelin, it is one helluva an album, so we're in for a treat :)
The portion of the song from approximately the last verse through the last chorus and ending is probably one of the greatest achievements in recording production and engineering...
Tom Scholtz is the founder. He was engineer at Poloroid and crated his own line of effects/amps (Rockman). He made demo of this album in his basement that sounds almost identical. It was bootlegged and called “ Honest, I Found it in the Trash”
Iconic song!!! Tom Scholz is the brilliant MIT graduate that came up with that "Boston sound" him and barry goudreau playing in harmony together on their guitars!
@@squaaaaak3178 yes, at first then when he found Barry Goudreau, he taught him the songs and then barry played the rythm parts and some lead parts.. as far as I know.
@@richardbarton6146 FALSE Barry introduced Brad to Tom back in 1969/1970 when Tom auditioned to join Barry's band as a keyboard player. Barry played some of Toms songs live in clubs in the area for years before this record was ever made Barry even played on some of Toms early demos. Barry plays guitar on three songs on this record. Sans a few segments of effects guitar all of the guitar parts on Foreplay and Long Time are Barry.
There are just a very small handful of bands that can lay claim to the fact that they have a truly iconic sound that labels everybody else's music, Boston is ONE of them... There are, at minimum, a dozen + "must listen" to songs by Boston. I always like to push for those hidden gems that tend to slip everyone's mind. For Boston, that song is "Hollyann" off their Third Stage album...
I remember hearing this song for the first time…and it blew me away and never got bored to hear it over and over again. It is great to see how younger people like you, discover, enjoying and appreciate this music so much. The past few days I watched you enjoying your journey listening to Pink Floyd which I consider on of the, or maybe the best Prog Rock Band ever. To see how you completely absorbed in it…with goosebumps included made me smile and brought back memories how I experienced those albums myself. Never thought it would happen again until I found out about Porcupine Tree. May I suggest you listen to Time Flies (the 11 min + version) from the album The Incident. I always get a lump in my throat when the instrumental part starts. Please give it a try…Love to watch your reaction on this as a Pink Floyd fan.
Watching you react to this reminded me of the first time I heard this song back in 1976. There was nothing like it at the time. Evolutionary musical experience. Reading your face, it's cool to see that it can still blow away new listeners. You know who would have loved to see your face as you reacted? Brad Delp. RIP. He had an amazing voice. This whole album is timeless. I still get goosebumps.
This album came out 45 years ago when I was a Cadet at the US Air Force Academy. My friend and high school classmate (it's very rare to have high school classmates at a service academy) would rock out to this song most evenings in very much the same way you did in this video. It's heartwarming to know the magic of this music transcends generations.
This has got to be the best reaction to Boston I've seen. It's great that young teens can appreciate the great classic bands. I loved watching you enjoy this. This was and is one of my favorite bands of all time.
This is one of those songs that you remember exactly when and where you were the first time you heard it. Back in 1976 I was 19 and driving my car on a road that was next to a lake and I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. 😊
Yep, it’s a short list for me… Beatles “Hey Jude”, Hendrix “Purple Haze” Neil Young “After the Goldrush” Nirvana “Teen Spirit” Steely Dan “Reeling Through the Years” Doobie Brothers “Black Water” Michael Jackson “Billie Jean”. A fun list to contemplate, thanks!
The best and most sophisticated band with the most harmonious vocals ever, and I would especially like to point out about the extravagant, most melodious and phenomenal sound..... Those who have never listened to Boston do not know what they are missing in their life.... Listening to their songs, my emotions touch me so much that every time I shed a tear.... And again, and again....Their songs are fairy tales that last forever....
Saw them in concert at the Sun Dome in Tampa, FL. in 1995. What a crowd! While waiting for the concert to start, we saw a man with greying hair in his' 50's walk in, wearing a Tux. His date was a stunning blonde in a light blue floor length evening gown with a tiara, diamond earrings/necklace and white elbow length gloves. 10 feet behind them, in walked a woman in her 30's wearing a black bustier, leather short shorts, fishnet stockings, thigh-high boots and black leather gloves. In her hand was a silver chained dog leash. This leash was attach to the collar of the man she was leading in. He was wearing black combat boots, black leather pants, a black leather vest (no shirt), spiked leather dog collar and a full head black leather mask with only breathing holes! I told my friends "This Concert just went to the next level"!! The concert was awesome!
"This is their debut album... and they create THIS??" Yep. And what's even crazier is that for all but one song on the album, "they" is just one guy who set up a recording studio in his basement. He recorded all the instrumental parts himself, and got someone else to do the singing. The other must-listen from this album is "Foreplay/Long Time" -- it has some truly EPIC guitar sections. I'm also fond of "Peace of Mind", "Smokin", and "Hitch a Ride".
You look like I did the first time I heard this way back in the olden days. I heard this song on the radio one day, went straight to the store and bought this album. I absolutely was NOT disappointed...the entire album is just outstanding. Thanks for your reaction, young man............
That my dear friend is Classic Rock from the one of the Greatest Bands from the 70's and 80's! Yes my friend, Classic Rock will make you get up and out of your chair and Jam!!!! The Fading of the vocal and music is Totally Awesome!!! Rock On Boston 🤘🤟🤙✊👊 Other great Classic Rock Bands, Journey, Asia, Triumph, just Google greatest Classic Rock Bands and listen to them all!!! RIP Brad Delp. 🙁
That’s exactly the way we felt in ‘76 hearing this album for the first time. They came out of nowhere! How could they be that good! The rest of the album only gets better. :-)
Seeing your reaction is pretty contagious. It's amazing seeing someone freaking out like you seem genuinely do. We were freaking out pretty much like this all the frig time losing our minds lol. Just soo much amazing music in the 70's and 80's.
More than a Feeling is one of the best songs of all time. It rips through the soul and breaks your heart in the best way. It gets better every year as you get older. It came out when I was in third grade and am 55 now. So many people have come and gone - And this song reminds me of 1976. Intense bitter sweet feelings of nostalgia.
Debut album all done by a couple guys in a basement. Got the record deal without actually having "a band". Best debut album of all time according to many. Hence the tag "the album in search of a band".
I just now stumbled on your channel. I have watched hundreds of reactors react to hundreds of different songs including this one. But I have NEVER had so much fun watching any person react to a song as I did seeing you react to this one. If you are hugging a chair then you know that yo' a$$ is being set right on 🔥 fire. And yes... the entire album is stellar. Not one single song is any less as well written and fun as this one. One of my top five fav debut albums in history, as well as one of my faves of all time period. Subscribed.
Such an AWESOME video! Love seeing these reaction videos from those that have never experienced what REAL MUSIC is and what it does to you. Like many others…I remember this album coming out and everybody in my high school had it. This song is one of the greatest rock songs ever! I’m happy you are getting to hear this wonderful music and your reaction is priceless. Now you can pass it on to your peers and one day you’ll be able to sit down with your son or little girl and introduce them to it and see the joy on their faces just like what you had!! Keep on with your journey through all the music you’ve never got to experience yet. You are in for great times!!
YES - the guitar SINGS, it is totally it's own voice in this song. I also LOVE IT when a song is created in such as way that it lets a guitar cut loose in this kinda way... its just awesome! And then when you got vocalists who voices soar like a guitar as well - its gold!
I was at a Boston concert (Toronto 1977) and it was amazing. Brad Delp's voice sounded exactly like this studio version...incredible! The band had the whole place rocking!
Me encante que tu tan joven disfrutes de verdadera música real de la epoca dorada, que sento las bases y verdadero legado de la musica que nunca morirá. Voces reales, músicos reales, y composiciónes reales y puro talento, sin arreglos sintéticos y computadoras. Y lo mejor ,en todas las corrientes musicales y. Naci en 1958 ,tengo 65 y comencé a disfrutar desde muy pequeño cuando mama me llevara a ver las películas de los Beatles y posteriormente a Woodstock . Lamentablemente esta epoca no se repetira ,pero puedes disfrutar con su legado. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile Un abrazo.
Great music, like this, brings you up, smashes you down, brings you up, smashes you down, and so on. You are left WRUNG OUT like a rag doll and FULL OF JOY. This song STILL does that to me 47 years later.. just like the first time.. maybe more!
I love your reaction at the guitar solo..I even showed it to my boyfriend who was smiling ear to ear! We were young teens when this came out so it's so cool to see the young generation of today discovering those famous bands from the 70's..this is my all time favorite song!
I was 13 when this song came out ....... and it is still one of the greatest songs ever written and performed ..... Boston is a very hard band to duplicate .... they were one of a kind and the lead singer is the same .........
The fastest selling debut album of all time. All the music was created in Tom Schult’s basement, by himself. He had to put together a band in order to record the album and go on tour.
The WHOLE ALBUM is like this!!!
Buckle UP!!!
Their 2nd and 3rd albums,are also very good.
@@snave59 Their other albums were completely phoned in redos! They don't compare on any level whatsoever to the first album!
@@Tricknologyincokay now you're being stupid yes they do compare otherwise you're a terrible boston fan
I'll tell ya man ... as a father I can't begin to tell you how much your Dad must be enjoying your experience with all this music. It brings ME joy and you're not even my kid.
LOL, I know what you mean. Sheer, unbridled exuberance!
Yup!!!!!!
@bobtedeman I can totally relate... This young man is awesome and exciting to watch as he listens to music from our era!!! 👍🏻😂😎

I was 15 when this album was released. Imagine this unprecedented sound blasting out of radios everywhere. Boston simply dominated for months.
I was in grade 8
1976 I was 10. First Album I ever bought.
@@hm3jenks224 Mine was ABBA - Arrival
@@boris2342 another great album Bro. IDK just so blessed to have been kid from the 70's and teen of the 80's!!
And made people start doing things to their car and home stereos that no one was doing at that time.
Restores my faith in humanity to know that the youth can recognize a pop masterpiece when they here it.
And there ya go - ecstacy on vinyl! No computers, no autotune; just very talented musicians doing their thing. Brad Delp is one of the top vocalists of rock in my book. RIP Brad. You are indeed in for a treat with this whole album as well as the second.

Correction, musician!. Tom Scholz played every instrument including drums, and only Brad did the vocals. Tom was and still is true genius.
And recorded this album in his basement, holy crap, nowadays "in my basement" is a term for a multi million dollar recording studio that you have downstairs
This is one of the greatest debut albums ever. I am now in my early 70s, and I still rock out to Boston on a regular basis.

Same to me and I'm Hungarian. At the time I could sing it out.
In the 70's We kids chipped in bought a nice Sony Stereo for my parents Ha ha ...and one of my Big brother bought this album
And recorded in the guys basement, no kidding, he sent it in and they didn’t even rerecord it, they put out his demo, fucking legend

*Dude! The rest of the album IS like that!! Just discovered your channel. YEP, Boston's production values were the GOAT! We were all blown away by them back in the '70s! Keep up the good work! I think you'd love the bands Heart and Journey, too!*
You are going to love this album! Keep going! Do the whole thing!
Hey man! I love the feeling you put into these Boston tracks. Tom Sholz was the brain behind Boston. No disrespect to any of the other band members. Tom recorded and mixed this in his basement studio at home. No Protools or Autotune way back then! Harmonies were on tape and couldn't be copied and pasted. They got it perfect every single time. Awesome! The late Brad Delp on vocals...what an incredible voice he was blessed with!! RIP man. Such a loss to music :(
Tom Sholz (guitar)...just pure genius and once in a lifetime. Read his bio. You will be amazed. BTW...your dad rocks! I am an old man today but I will never forget the awesome music we listened to :) Thank you for the music!
@andreoosthuizen2634 It is a well documented fact and also well known that this record was not mixed at Toms home studio. It is well known and documented that this record was mixed at Westlake Studios in LA. It is also a well known and well documented fact that ALL of Brads vocals were recorded by Boylan in big name studios in LA. It is also well known and well documented that the entire song Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was recorded by the band as pictured on the back of the record at The Record Plant LA studio
You bring deep joy to my old heart, young man....
So proud to see you checking out Boston! I absolutely love this band they are iconic and I know you'll enjoy it! Dude the whole album is like this there's not one bad song on this album!!
Widely considered one of the best debut albums of all time.
The feeling you’re showing, we still feel 47 years later. To this day, I fall back in love with my high school girlfriend every time I hear this song.
Brad Delp. one of the most amazing male singers ever. EVER!!!!!! Rest in peace Brad!!!!!
Another masterpiece from my generation! High school! Boston! 1984!❤️ Your reaction brings me joy!
One of my favorite songs of all time. I can still remember when I first heard it, as a 20-year old in the Fall of 1976. I immediately went to a local record store to buy the album.
Seeing your first-time reaction was worth waiting 46 years to see....
Great Reaction Silas! I don't believe I've seen you get more excited from a song, not even with Zeppelin, it is one helluva an album, so we're in for a treat :)
I think all us teenagers at the time loved this album and had to buy it pretty quickly.
Can't wait to see you react to Fore play / Long time Silas. It's my favorite of that Boston album. Epic song
We always called it Foreskin/Long play lol
(Sorry...it's a medical term!!)
The portion of the song from approximately the last verse through the last chorus and ending is probably one of the greatest achievements in recording production and engineering...
Tom Scholtz is the founder. He was engineer at Poloroid and crated his own line of effects/amps (Rockman). He made demo of this album in his basement that sounds almost identical. It was bootlegged and called “ Honest, I Found it in the Trash”
Best pure 70s rock band IMHO. Yes the rest of this album and the next are just as good!
Silas I love your reactions,you can't sit still,because the music gets inside you.Peace out!!!
Iconic song!!! Tom Scholz is the brilliant MIT graduate that came up with that "Boston sound" him and barry goudreau playing in harmony together on their guitars!
in concert yes but didn't Tom play all of the guitars in the studio writing this album?
@@squaaaaak3178 yes, at first then when he found Barry Goudreau, he taught him the songs and then barry played the rythm parts and some lead parts.. as far as I know.
@@richardbarton6146 FALSE Barry introduced Brad to Tom back in 1969/1970 when Tom auditioned to join Barry's band as a keyboard player. Barry played some of Toms songs live in clubs in the area for years before this record was ever made Barry even played on some of Toms early demos. Barry plays guitar on three songs on this record. Sans a few segments of effects guitar all of the guitar parts on Foreplay and Long Time are Barry.
YAAAS! Great choice my friend! ❤
There are just a very small handful of bands that can lay claim to the fact that they have a truly iconic sound that labels everybody else's music, Boston is ONE of them... There are, at minimum, a dozen + "must listen" to songs by Boston. I always like to push for those hidden gems that tend to slip everyone's mind. For Boston, that song is "Hollyann" off their Third Stage album...
Hollyann was an awesome song!
Can't ya say you believe in me / Still in Love is a heck'uva song too.......
I remember hearing this song for the first time…and it blew me away and never got bored to hear it over and over again. It is great to see how younger people like you, discover, enjoying and appreciate this music so much. The past few days I watched you enjoying your journey listening to Pink Floyd which I consider on of the, or maybe the best Prog Rock Band ever. To see how you completely absorbed in it…with goosebumps included made me smile and brought back memories how I experienced those albums myself. Never thought it would happen again until I found out about Porcupine Tree. May I suggest you listen to Time Flies (the 11 min + version) from the album The Incident. I always get a lump in my throat when the instrumental part starts. Please give it a try…Love to watch your reaction on this as a Pink Floyd fan.
you're going to freak out when you hear the lead guitar solos on Hitch a Ride. My favorite Boston song, followed by Foreplay/Long Time.
I'm 56 and it makes my day to see a kid as yourself really enjoying music from back in my day. Great reaction 👍
It;s hard to overstate how HUGE this song was. That guitar sound was so new and earcatching!
Watching you react to this reminded me of the first time I heard this song back in 1976. There was nothing like it at the time. Evolutionary musical experience. Reading your face, it's cool to see that it can still blow away new listeners. You know who would have loved to see your face as you reacted? Brad Delp. RIP. He had an amazing voice. This whole album is timeless. I still get goosebumps.
This album came out 45 years ago when I was a Cadet at the US Air Force Academy. My friend and high school classmate (it's very rare to have high school classmates at a service academy) would rock out to this song most evenings in very much the same way you did in this video. It's heartwarming to know the magic of this music transcends generations.
This has got to be the best reaction to Boston I've seen. It's great that young teens can appreciate the great classic bands. I loved watching you enjoy this. This was and is one of my favorite bands of all time.
This album is a masterpiece. Every cut is excellent. The singer is Brad Delp (RIP), one of the greatest vocalists in rock history.
Its weird, the weakest track on the album (Smokin') was the one track that the studio produced LOL
@christophertaylor9100 there is no such thing as a weak track on this album don't be stupid
Boston² is fire. Nothing is skippable. One of the top 5 debut albums ever, easily.
This is one of those songs that you remember exactly when and where you were the first time you heard it. Back in 1976 I was 19 and driving my car on a road that was next to a lake and I couldn’t believe what I was listening to. 😊
Yep, it’s a short list for me… Beatles “Hey Jude”, Hendrix “Purple Haze” Neil Young “After the Goldrush” Nirvana “Teen Spirit” Steely Dan “Reeling Through the Years” Doobie Brothers “Black Water” Michael Jackson “Billie Jean”. A fun list to contemplate, thanks!
The best and most sophisticated band with the most harmonious vocals ever, and I would especially like to point out about the extravagant, most melodious and phenomenal sound..... Those who have never listened to Boston do not know what they are missing in their life....
Listening to their songs, my emotions touch me so much that every time I shed a tear.... And again, and again....Their songs are fairy tales that last forever....
Dude, this whole album is solid.
Being born and growing up thru my teen years in Boston...I can't help to be a fan!! They were soooo good!!
I’m from Rhode Island and enjoyed Boston songs on the radio back then! They definitely had their own unique sound!
Saw them in concert at the Sun Dome in Tampa, FL. in 1995. What a crowd! While waiting for the concert to start, we saw a man with greying hair in his' 50's walk in, wearing a Tux. His date was a stunning blonde in a light blue floor length evening gown with a tiara, diamond earrings/necklace and white elbow length gloves. 10 feet behind them, in walked a woman in her 30's wearing a black bustier, leather short shorts, fishnet stockings, thigh-high boots and black leather gloves. In her hand was a silver chained dog leash. This leash was attach to the collar of the man she was leading in. He was wearing black combat boots, black leather pants, a black leather vest (no shirt), spiked leather dog collar and a full head black leather mask with only breathing holes! I told my friends "This Concert just went to the next level"!! The concert was awesome!
"This is their debut album... and they create THIS??" Yep. And what's even crazier is that for all but one song on the album, "they" is just one guy who set up a recording studio in his basement. He recorded all the instrumental parts himself, and got someone else to do the singing.
The other must-listen from this album is "Foreplay/Long Time" -- it has some truly EPIC guitar sections. I'm also fond of "Peace of Mind", "Smokin", and "Hitch a Ride".
Even the album art work is outstanding, giant guitar shaped spaceships leaving a doomed planet. It all just fits together.
This album should be in a Hall of fame!
First album I ever owned. Loved it as a 13 year old in 1977. 45 years later, I still turn my car stereo up to max when it's on.
SAME age same reaction.
You look like I did the first time I heard this way back in the olden days. I heard this song on the radio one day, went straight to the store and bought this album. I absolutely was NOT disappointed...the entire album is just outstanding. Thanks for your reaction, young man............
That my dear friend is Classic Rock from the one of the Greatest Bands from the 70's and 80's! Yes my friend, Classic Rock will make you get up and out of your chair and Jam!!!! The Fading of the vocal and music is Totally Awesome!!! Rock On Boston 🤘🤟🤙✊👊 Other great Classic Rock Bands, Journey, Asia, Triumph, just Google greatest Classic Rock Bands and listen to them all!!! RIP Brad Delp. 🙁
That's what you call a banger my friend! 😜
Man, I remember when this album was released. My reaction to it the first time was similar. Loved your reaction.
Think about this, kids. This was My era, when creativity was far beyond a digital format
Another super awesome album you have picked from an awesome time in the late 1970s. The radio played all this fantastic music every day.
Ah the 70s...the decade of music anthems! Epic time for music. There's a ton of incredible and powerful songs to be had! Go listen...enjoy!! 😀
The high notes he hits is insane
That’s exactly the way we felt in ‘76 hearing this album for the first time. They came out of nowhere! How could they be that good! The rest of the album only gets better. :-)
Seeing your reaction is pretty contagious. It's amazing seeing someone freaking out like you seem genuinely do. We were freaking out pretty much like this all the frig time losing our minds lol. Just soo much amazing music in the 70's and 80's.
Back in the day,we all had this album! It's fire!🔥Not a bad song on the entire album!
More than a Feeling is one of the best songs of all time. It rips through the soul and breaks your heart in the best way. It gets better every year as you get older. It came out when I was in third grade and am 55 now. So many people have come and gone - And this song reminds me of 1976. Intense bitter sweet feelings of nostalgia.
One of the best debut albums of all time👍👍👍👍🤟
Debut album all done by a couple guys in a basement. Got the record deal without actually having "a band". Best debut album of all time according to many. Hence the tag "the album in search of a band".
I just now stumbled on your channel. I have watched hundreds of reactors react to hundreds of different songs including this one. But I have NEVER had so much fun watching any person react to a song as I did seeing you react to this one.
If you are hugging a chair then you know that yo' a$$ is being set right on 🔥 fire. And yes... the entire album is stellar. Not one single song is any less as well written and fun as this one. One of my top five fav debut albums in history, as well as one of my faves of all time period.
Subscribed.
Such an AWESOME video! Love seeing these reaction videos from those that have never experienced what REAL MUSIC is and what it does to you.
Like many others…I remember this album coming out and everybody in my high school had it. This song is one of the greatest rock songs ever!
I’m happy you are getting to hear this wonderful music and your reaction is priceless. Now you can pass it on to your peers and one day you’ll be able to sit down with your son or little girl and introduce them to it and see the joy on their faces just like what you had!!
Keep on with your journey through all the music you’ve never got to experience yet. You are in for great times!!
Back in the day I had this album on cassette tape.......wore it out. 😀
YES - the guitar SINGS, it is totally it's own voice in this song. I also LOVE IT when a song is created in such as way that it lets a guitar cut loose in this kinda way... its just awesome! And then when you got vocalists who voices soar like a guitar as well - its gold!
They are the absolute kings of straight ahead rock and roll! In my mind still the greatest debut album of all time.
I was at a Boston concert (Toronto 1977) and it was amazing. Brad Delp's voice sounded exactly like this studio version...incredible! The band had the whole place rocking!
Bought this album in 1976 and my reaction was about like yours. Music changed for me that day!
Me encante que tu tan joven disfrutes de verdadera música real de la epoca dorada, que sento las bases y verdadero legado de la musica que nunca morirá.
Voces reales, músicos reales, y composiciónes reales y puro talento, sin arreglos sintéticos y computadoras.
Y lo mejor ,en todas las corrientes musicales y.
Naci en 1958 ,tengo 65 y comencé a disfrutar desde muy pequeño cuando mama me llevara a ver las películas de los Beatles y posteriormente a Woodstock .
Lamentablemente esta epoca no se repetira ,pero puedes disfrutar con su legado.
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile
Un abrazo.
Great music, like this, brings you up, smashes you down, brings you up, smashes you down, and so on. You are left WRUNG OUT like a rag doll and FULL OF JOY. This song STILL does that to me 47 years later.. just like the first time.. maybe more!
I love your reaction at the guitar solo..I even showed it to my boyfriend who was smiling ear to ear! We were young teens when this came out so it's so cool to see the young generation of today discovering those famous bands from the 70's..this is my all time favorite song!
I was 13 when this song came out ....... and it is still one of the greatest songs ever written and performed ..... Boston is a very hard band to duplicate .... they were one of a kind and the lead singer is the same .........
Tom Sholtz the king of the pick scrape. Nice choice Silas. Great video. Thanks
The fastest selling debut album of all time. All the music was created in Tom Schult’s basement, by himself. He had to put together a band in order to record the album and go on tour.
One of the best debut albums of all time. Great guitar driven pop/rock.
