That brother I tell you what hes wife who's sexy that's what I'll say yeah it's me Do needs to do with come on in there let's hear her talk more let's hear her I want to be about her she's sucking Oh mine she is so just so
I was born in '59, so, I remember when these albums first came out...as most of you do. It was a game changer for music back then, we knew these guys and many, many others would change music as we knew it...and largely for the better...Rock ON!!
Boston is another iconic band from the '70's and '80's. The group Boston has that unique sound from that time period. You just don't hear that awesome sound from today's music. I have always enjoyed Boston from the beginning to now. Boston's music just invokes so many feelings and memories from my youth. RIP Brad Delp. Rock On Boston! 🤘🤟✊🤙👊💥🔥
I saw these guys live in Oakland and it was Electric! After the show I was walking past the trailer gate behind the stadium where the crew was, walked in and saw the band members hanging out... little ole me with an album size concert program in hand that depicted that same cover art you have, I asked if they would autograph it. They all did and said "glad you enjoyed the show kid, thanks for coming", and off I went. I still have that signed album art to this day.
😢You're right, their transitions are phenomenal. All of their arrangements. Brad's voice, Tom's guitars and production. Nobody sounded like these guys.
Most of Boston is driving fast, sunroof open, headed for the beach. Lol "A Man I'll Never Be" though -- different vibe.. whole other type of feeling. Happy Anniversary to the cutest couple on UA-cam! Ps.. Glad to see Dee wearing headphones!!
I saw them in October 1978 in Knoxville, Tn. This was the tour for this album. I was a senior in high school and was in band. I laid out of a football game to go see them. They are one of my top 3 bands. This song should be also heard with the Journey and It's Easy because they all flow together on the album. The following song is the big epic song called A Man I'll Never Be. It is a must listen also. Great Band.
Run, don't walk, to listen to their first, self titled record, there isn't a bad song on it. It's the most amazing debut album of all time, every song off it has had a place on rotation of any classic rock station in the country over the years. It's a must listen!
There is so much to hear from them and the singer, if you like any songs from the Beatles Google Brad Delp singing golden slumbers or ticket to ride, and a half show called Beatle Juice 1996 just to name a few, he also sang backup vocals and a song called can't find the time 2010 version on the album Orpheus again, was recorded in 1987 but not released till 2010
You will love watching their bass player during the live performances. He really gets into the groove of the songs. And, you definitely won’t find a bad song in their catalog.
I saw them at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire, England in the 70's,the only time they have been in the U.K I believe, the best concert ever. If you watch Boston on stage make sure you watch Brad Delp singing, the best.
I'm not sure what other "Boston" songs you've already reacted to, but two other songs from this album, "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Feelin' Satisfied", are worth a listen.
Tom Sholz played Guitar, bass, keyboards & drums on this incredible album that he produced in his basement! Master Sound Engineer & Musical GENIUS for sure. The only thing equalled was Brad Delps insane lead vocals. Delp could hit notes only dogs could hear!! Great band and you are so correct how uplifting their songs are.
@@guidosarducci Actually Barry Goudreau was on several of the first demo's. Tom had answered an ad that Barry and Jim Masdea placed looking for a keyboard player for their band Freehold. After awhile Tom asked to also play guitar with band. They played gigs in the Boston area. Barry helped Tom with his guitar playing and even lived at Tom's house for six months. He and Jim helped Tom build his basement studio. They changed the band's name to Mother's Milk and the were already playing early versions of several of the songs that ended up on the first album. Barry introduced Tom to Brad. When the demo's weren't getting interest from any one Tom decided to stop gigging and concentrate full time on getting a demo accepted by a record company. Barry, Brad and Jim continued to help with the songs. The original bass player didn't expect them to be successful and quit the band. And when Epic told them that they needed a touring band and Epic wanted the drummer replaced is when Sib Hashian was suggested as a drummer by either Brad or Barry, I forget which. Sib suggested Franny Sheehan as the bass player. Actually, Brad, Barry, Sib and Franny all came from the same area north of Boston. They played gigs around the Lynn area in different bands and most of them played together in some bands. Brad was born in Peabody and Barry, Sib and Franny came from Swampscott, though they went to Lynn English High School. I used play solo gigs in the area and I also managed a band with 3 members who also played with most of them. One of them had been roommates with Sib and another was his best friend, so Sib would come to practices and gigs, even coming along for a weekend we had in Northern Vermont. So I had met them all and saw them all play in different bands before the Boston album came out, though they were just acquaintances except for Sib, who I became friends with. Even after they hit it big with the album, the four of them would come to see or band at gigs and sit in with them. All but Tom, who I never met. He didn't socialize with the rest of the band much.
You're right. They were one of the few bands who sounded just as good live as they did in their recordings. I saw them in concert in Amarillo, TX. It was a great experience. They had a silkscreen backdrop behind the stage of a pipe organ that would light up when the organ played. I'll never forget their performance.
Take time to listen to It's Easy. You'll probably never find a better bass line, anywhere. I can't overemphasize how good it really is to all of my fellow Boston lovers.
Great band! If you want a interesting cover of Boston with participation of some Dirty Loops, Dream Theater, Whitesnake... you could check out a version of "Foreplay / Long Time" where Henrik Linder plays together with some great dude's of those bands... Interesting one fore sure... Regards from Sweden (waiting for the next Dirty Loops reaction... why not "Follow the Light"?)
This is my favourite song by Boston. It always takes me back to 1978, aged 16. My boyfriend at the time said, "Hey listen to this". Well the boyfriend didn't last but my love for this song is still with me😁
Tom Shultz wrote. Produced. Recorded the complete 1st. Album. Hired Brad delp to sing his lyrics. Then he got a record deal, then hired the rest of the band.
Not quite accurate. Tom did write all the songs except "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" which was mostly written by Brad Delp. Tom co-produced the album. Epic records sent John Boylan to Tom's basement studio in Watertown to produce the album, but he gave Tom almost full control over production, only stepping in when it was necessary, like when Tom didn't know how to record the acoustic guitar properly so he flew in a sound engineer from LA to teach him how to correctly set up the microphones to record the acoustic, and when they were in LA recording the drums Tom also needed to be taught the proper microphone technique for recording the drums and in the final mix he had the guitars so loud that they were drowning out the vocals, so John also stepped in to make him lower the volume on the guitar tracks. John said that was the only big confrontation between him and Tom. Still though, according to John, Tom did do most of the production. The recording done in Tom's studio was most of the music and a preliminary mix. Sib Hashian's drums, and Brad Delp's vocals were recorded in an LA studio. And the final mix was done in LA. Tom had answered an ad for a keyboard player that Barry Goudreau and Jim Masdea had placed for their band, "Freehold". They did gigs around Boston and Tom began writing songs and asked Barry if he could also play guitar in the band. Barry helped him with the guitar playing and lived at his house for six months. Barry and Jim helped Tom to build his home studio and helped with the songs he was writing and the demos he started sending out. By that time they were already playing early versions of many of the songs that ended up on the first album. Barry introduced Brad to Tom and they hired him to play in "Mother's Milk", which they had changed the name "Freehold" to. Of course Brad also got involved with the demos, and started doing all the vocals. Finally Tom decided to stop playing gigs and give one last big push to concentrate on the demos and get a contract. At that point the Mother's Milk bass player quit the band. When Epic records offered the contract two points they made were that they had to have a touring band and they didn't want Jim Masdea to be the drummer. So they let Jim go. They already had Tom, Brad and Barry, so they only needed a bass player and a drummer to complete the band. I don't remember if it was Brad or Barry who suggested Sib for the drummer, and then Sib suggested Franny Sheehan for the bass. Brad, Barry, Sib and Franny all knew each other and came from the same area north of Boston, Lynn and the bordering towns. Barry, Sib and Franny came from Swampscott and Brad from Peabody.
Vern- You're the very first person I have seen on youtube reactions that has mentioned an 8 track of any band. I had favorites like Chicago Transit Authority & Santana.
@@sandys1445 you must have missed my comments elsewhere. There are a number of them for groups of the seventies. ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Zeppelin, Queen, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd to name a few.
This album is just 4 years shy of celebrating it’s 50th birthday. For a long time it was the best selling debut album in history, now number 2. More than 20 million albums sold worldwide. All music created in Tom Scholz basement. Just a real milestone in the history of music, not just of rock music.
Boston's 2nd album was delayed in release because the single reel to reel tape of the album was accidentally exposed to heat and the tape was fused on the reel. Tom Scholz (MIT Graduate/genius)spent weeks peeling the tape off slowly, one inch at a time using liquid silicone lubricant, to recover the album!!! He continues to invent music related devices to this day!
there is live footage of Boston in japan for the don't look back tour. Don't look back is an excellent album. "A man i'll never be" of the album is a must hear.
Awww Happy Anniversary. You have beaten the 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Keep listening to old school, the messages will keep you together another 9 years. Nice reaction.
one of my all time favourite songs, brings back great memories, but you've still got to watch the best music video of 2022 with some great drumming for you from CLAY AESCHLIMAN...... one of the greatest instrumental collaborations of all time, POLYPHIA-EGO DEATH feat STEVE VAI official music video. an UNBELIEVABLE Masterpiece, well over 5 Million views in only 3 weeks on UA-cam. best wishes from the north east coast of England.
Their second album is great but falls a bit short of their debut album. Still a fantastic album. They were exceptional in concert. Thanks for the reaction video!
Boston has always been one of my favorite bands, and though the styles are very different, the talent and genius in the music I compare to Rush. Though, while Rush spent decades releasing twice as many albums as most bands, unfortunately, Boston spent most of their time fighting the record company instead of creating great music. Because they didn't want to keep to the deadlines the record compamy was imposing on them. So Boston as far as I know, only ever released three albums over a span of four decades. We received far too little music from Boston due to this. Whereas Rush released 19 albums over the course of four decades. Rush fought with the record company too, but for retaining their own individuality in the way they wanted to make music, not over deadlines, and they were successful in doing that with one rebellious album (2112) that was a platinum success story they wrote their own ticket after that. But they never stopped creating albums at least one per year if not two until the '90s when they slowed down and ended up releasing this three albums per decade, over the last couple of decades. Boston, unfortunately spent the majority of their career doing anything but creating more great music.
Tom Sholtz, the one who wrote and did this whole thing worked at Polaroid camera before he did this and basically told them what to do with this album. Another song, Piece of Mind describes his distaste for that kind of cubicle life
Fyi Tom sholtz the lead guitar player and founder in an engineer he went to MIT and yes there first album was created in his basement, he played most of the instruments.
Actually, Sib Hashian played drums on every song except "Rock and Roll Band", which Jim Masdea played drums on, and everyone in the band played on "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" (which is about 12 minutes altogether, or about one third of the 37 minute album). Brad Delp also played the acoustic guitar on "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" Though Tom did most of the recording and mixing in his home studio. The producer, John Boylan, who was flown there by Epic Records, agreed to give Tom control and co-producer credit, but he did step at times. When he realized Scholz didn't know how to properly record acoustic guitars he had an engineer, Paul Grupp, come in from the West Coast to teach Tom the microphone technique for recording acoustic guitars. The recording of the Sib Hashian's drums and Brad Delp's vocals were done in an LA Studio, as was the final mixing of the album. Boylan let Tom continue to have control, but Tom also didn't know how to mic the drums for recording, so Boylan called in sound technicians to help him. He also had an arguement with Tom when he had the electric guitars in the mix so loud that they were drowning out the vocals. There's a lot of people that went into the making of this album who have some credit due. None of this takes away from the fact that Tom was excellent at mixing, but not without faults at the time this album was mixed. I think Tom's greatest genius lies in writing great songs and knowing exactly what he wants to hear in them. And if he couldn't get the sound he wanted out of the existing equipment, he would either modify the equipment or engineer new equipment to get the sound he wanted.
The only draw back you could possibly have is when you're cruising down the highway with them blaring and you fail to see the Statie clocking you by the side of the road
I AM 65 AND BACK IN THE DAY THESE GUYS WERE POURING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS AND I STILL GROOVE ON THEM..A TRULY BRILLIANT BAND FOR THE AGES....
It wasn't a party without Boston blaring on the stereo! Happy Anniversary!
That brother I tell you what hes wife who's sexy that's what I'll say yeah it's me Do needs to do with come on in there let's hear her talk more let's hear her I want to be about her she's sucking Oh mine she is so just so
I'm thinking that she could be the next leg if she learns how to talk and jiggle and talk tough sexy talking a little bit more jiggle
She's got everything she needs she just needs to be bill donor but she's got the foundation oh yeah
One of my favorite bands. I was born in 1962 and that was perfect for my upbringing of the music I absolutely love and it never gets old!!
Same here. I remember when this came out. It was a game changer. Every single song on this album is amazing.
And the debut album was solid gold
I was born in '59, so, I remember when these albums first came out...as most of you do. It was a game changer for music back then, we knew these guys and many, many others would change music as we knew it...and largely for the better...Rock ON!!
Born in 1964 we had some of the best music ever made .
My dad was born in 62 as well. So jealous cuz y’all had the best music
Boston is another iconic band from the '70's and '80's. The group Boston has that unique sound from that time period. You just don't hear that awesome sound from today's music.

It is so sad that no one makes music like this anymore, this is when music was music!!!

"A Man I'll Never Be" though -- different vibe.. whole other type of feeling.
Happy Anniversary to the cutest couple on UA-cam!
Ps.. Glad to see Dee wearing headphones!!
I've seen Boston in concert 4 times. Middle aged men in suits get up on their chairs and play air guitar. Reliving our glory days~!
I saw them in October 1978 in Knoxville, Tn. This was the tour for this album. I was a senior in high school and was in band. I laid out of a football game to go see them.

The following song is the big epic song called A Man I'll Never Be. It is a must listen also. Great Band.
Brad Delp: one of the finest vocalists to ever live. 🌩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🤘🤘
OMG I've never heard this song or band before. What did I just hear that sounded so Crystal clear and yet distorted and amazing bravo to a great band.
Run, don't walk, to listen to their first, self titled record, there isn't a bad song on it. It's the most amazing debut album of all time, every song off it has had a place on rotation of any classic rock station in the country over the years. It's a must listen!
If you want to hear some clean guitar picking, listen to their song Hitch a ride. Crank it to 11!
There is so much to hear from them and the singer, if you like any songs from the Beatles Google Brad Delp singing golden slumbers or ticket to ride, and a half show called Beatle Juice 1996 just to name a few, he also sang backup vocals and a song called can't find the time 2010 version on the album Orpheus again, was recorded in 1987 but not released till 2010
Backup vocals on a song called can't find the time not and a song called that
You will love watching their bass player during the live performances. He really gets into the groove of the songs. And, you definitely won’t find a bad song in their catalog.
I would suggest the song "Something about You". Fire Fire Fire.
Thank you Both with Love, Love this group so much !!
Great,great song such a classic Boston song. Wonderful.
That so distinctive Boston pickslide gets you everytime.
Happy Anniversary, Don't look back but look ahead for the next 40 years.
Happy Anniversary Chod and Dee!! Love your reactions ✌️ ☮️ ❤️🇱🇷🎸🎵🎼🎶
They are the kings of straight ahead rock and roll!
Congratulations couple don t Lucky back
I saw them at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire, England in the 70's,the only time they have been in the U.K I believe, the best concert ever. If you watch Boston on stage make sure you watch Brad Delp singing, the best.
Watching you two bob your heads back & forth is priceless. That's what Boston does to everyone
My most favorite Boston song is "Man I'll Never Be." I would love to see you guys react to that.
'A Man I'll Never Be' should be high on your list for next Boston song. A power ballad with incredible guitar work.
Happy Anniversary you two! You're a great couple. Just remember to keep the humour in your life! Music too!
Boston definitely puts a spring in your step when you hear it...
Happy Anniversary man.⚘⚘👍. Yeah Boston .
This whole album is awesome!
Happy anniversary guys
Happy anniversary and many more years
Happy Anniversary 🎉🎉🎉 Great song!
Brad Delp on vocals & the Rockman guitar effect from Tom Scholz. 70's baby!
Happy Anniversary!!! Another Boston song is "Cool the Engines" from 3rd album.
Third Stage is so underrated
The power they put in to harmony is staggering. The proper reply is "crank it up!"
I saw them once. Took a week to get my voice back. And my legs were soar for days. It was a blast!
One of my favorite concerts ever Third Stage 1988 Cincinnati. I knew every song , every word and sung along with every one.
I saw this tour in 1979 they were amazing live!
lengendary era of creativity
I'm not sure what other "Boston" songs you've already reacted to, but two other songs from this album, "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Feelin' Satisfied", are worth a listen.
My favorite Boston track!
Happy anniversary!! 👩❤️👨
Happy anniversary 🎉❤
Happy Anniversary!..
but ..uh..
Boston? ...on Anniversary?.
Lol..ok..if it floats the boat!
Tom Sholz played Guitar, bass, keyboards & drums on this incredible album that he produced in his basement! Master Sound Engineer & Musical GENIUS for sure. The only thing equalled was Brad Delps insane lead vocals. Delp could hit notes only dogs could hear!! Great band and you are so correct how uplifting their songs are.
This song also includes Barry Goudreau on lead guitar, Franny Sheehan on bass and Sib Hashian on drums.
@@ptournas Thank you for this comment! They made up the rest of the band AFTER he and Brad produced the demo tape in his basement.

Happy Anniversay!
Your channel is THEEEE channel. Love it.
Congratulations!
I add this song when I congratulate my younger relatives when they graduate.
1977 ? Springfield MA If you can believe, the were even Better Live !! Tried listening to the newer Boston, not quite there.........
Such nostalgia listening to Boston - missing those simple, mostly carefree days. Love seeing young people reacting to these classic songs!
IM 59 AND I LOVE BOSTON LOL!!!!!
Happy Anniversary Chod and Dee. Congratulations!💞🎉💞
Take time to listen to It's Easy. You'll probably never find a better bass line, anywhere. I can't overemphasize how good it really is to all of my fellow Boston lovers.
The Drums on this Song are next level.
He really knows music, this is a REAL reaction site.
If you haven't reacted to Boston More Than a Feeling, please do that one next...prob one of their best songs of all time!
Great band!
If you want a interesting cover of Boston with participation of some Dirty Loops, Dream Theater, Whitesnake... you could check out a version of "Foreplay / Long Time" where Henrik Linder plays together with some great dude's of those bands...
Interesting one fore sure...
Regards from Sweden (waiting for the next Dirty Loops reaction... why not "Follow the Light"?)
This is my favourite song by Boston. It always takes me back to 1978, aged 16. My boyfriend at the time said, "Hey listen to this". Well the boyfriend didn't last but my love for this song is still with me😁

Tom Sholtz invented a special effects guitar. he also triple tracked the guitar to give it a dynamic quality.
Happy anniversary 🎉🎉
Boston's music overall just has such great layers.
Happy Anniversary to you both! You are a great couple and I enjoy the reaction more with the two of you.
Great debut album. Had my copy on 8-track back when it came out.
Vern- You're the very first person I have seen on youtube reactions that has mentioned an 8 track of any band. I had favorites like Chicago Transit Authority & Santana.
@Vern Hoke, I had to buy a second 8 track of this album because I wore out the first.
@@sandys1445 you must have missed my comments elsewhere.
There are a number of them for groups of the seventies.
ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Zeppelin, Queen, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd to name a few.
@@vernhoke7730 I didn't see any of your comments.😞
Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary!
This album is just 4 years shy of celebrating it’s 50th birthday. For a long time it was the best selling debut album in history, now number 2. More than 20 million albums sold worldwide. All music created in Tom Scholz basement. Just a real milestone in the history of music, not just of rock music.
This is their 2nd album, not their debut album!😉
That sound on the guitar is called a "pick drag".
Boston's 2nd album was delayed in release because the single reel to reel tape of the album was accidentally exposed to heat and the tape was fused on the reel. Tom Scholz (MIT Graduate/genius)spent weeks peeling the tape off slowly, one inch at a time using liquid silicone lubricant, to recover the album!!! He continues to invent music related devices to this day!
I love this bar Toby Keith
there is live footage of Boston in japan for the don't look back tour. Don't look back is an excellent album. "A man i'll never be" of the album is a must hear.
Happy Anniversary
The UFO Guitar also has a city on it!
Awww Happy Anniversary. You have beaten the 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Keep listening to old school, the messages will keep you together another 9 years. Nice reaction.
one of my all time favourite songs, brings back great memories, but you've still got to watch the best music video of 2022 with some great drumming for you from CLAY AESCHLIMAN...... one of the greatest instrumental collaborations of all time, POLYPHIA-EGO DEATH feat STEVE VAI official music video. an UNBELIEVABLE Masterpiece, well over 5 Million views in only 3 weeks on UA-cam. best wishes from the north east coast of England.
Toby Keith his song is called I love this bar and I do I love this bar
My Destination…perfect tribute to your wife.
This is the title song and name of their second album…which is fire just like 1st one. Try “ A Man I ‘ll Never Be”.
This is my high school class of 78 song. Read the lyrics and you'll see why we lobbied for it.
R.I.P Brad and Sibby.....
You're Robbie's got me thinking about ZZ Top pearl necklace pearl necklace
Me and Toby Keith we both love the spar
Watch fore/play longtime live and watch the genius Tom Schultz on the organ guitar and acoustic guitar awesome.
Their second album is great but falls a bit short of their debut album. Still a fantastic album. They were exceptional in concert. Thanks for the reaction video!

Tom Sholtz, the one who wrote and did this whole thing worked at Polaroid camera before he did this and basically told them what to do with this album. Another song, Piece of Mind describes his distaste for that kind of cubicle life
You need to be treating that girl right especially on the anniversary Diana barcy you do it or somebody else will Hey all day Jimmy J
Fyi Tom sholtz the lead guitar player and founder in an engineer he went to MIT and yes there first album was created in his basement, he played most of the instruments.
Actually, Sib Hashian played drums on every song except "Rock and Roll Band", which Jim Masdea played drums on, and everyone in the band played on "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" (which is about 12 minutes altogether, or about one third of the 37 minute album). Brad Delp also played the acoustic guitar on "Let Me Take You Home Tonight"
Though Tom did most of the recording and mixing in his home studio. The producer, John Boylan, who was flown there by Epic Records, agreed to give Tom control and co-producer credit, but he did step at times. When he realized Scholz didn't know how to properly record acoustic guitars he had an engineer, Paul Grupp, come in from the West Coast to teach Tom the microphone technique for recording acoustic guitars.
The recording of the Sib Hashian's drums and Brad Delp's vocals were done in an LA Studio, as was the final mixing of the album. Boylan let Tom continue to have control, but Tom also didn't know how to mic the drums for recording, so Boylan called in sound technicians to help him. He also had an arguement with Tom when he had the electric guitars in the mix so loud that they were drowning out the vocals.
There's a lot of people that went into the making of this album who have some credit due.
None of this takes away from the fact that Tom was excellent at mixing, but not without faults at the time this album was mixed. I think Tom's greatest genius lies in writing great songs and knowing exactly what he wants to hear in them. And if he couldn't get the sound he wanted out of the existing equipment, he would either modify the equipment or engineer new equipment to get the sound he wanted.
Notice the album cover is an upside down guitar.
The only draw back you could possibly have is when you're cruising down the highway with them blaring and you fail to see the Statie clocking you by the side of the road
In his basement all analog drove his wife nuts. But yes a whole studio.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
