Age means nothing when it comes to an rock album like this. It's just plain fantastic, whatever age you are, what decade of rock you might usually listen or whatever genre too. makes no difference. It shows that you have great taste in rock and music in general.
Dude, I'm proud of you. Keep finding the older classics, listen to those, and then find the classics that THOSE musicians revered. You'll find your way.
Pretty weird that this is 45 years old. Seems like yesterday. Or maybe last week... Best music of any age. Any one else been listening to and loving this for 45 years?
Sure am. I saw them on the Don't Look Back tour, sprang for third row seats. This is the only album I can think of where the worst song on it is still really good and most of them are truly great. All this is just opinion of course and some would disagree, but IMO this is not only the best album in the history of rock and roll, but the best there will ever be. It will never be surpassed.
In middle school 7th grade 1974 our early morning Language Arts teacher brought in an album. We broke down the meaning of the Lyrics. Played it in class many many times I think CSN song about a couple's children "The one they picks" lyric RockNroll
I was born in 77, I grew up on classic rock, I've heard every one of these songs before and I love em all. However, it wasn't until today that I realized that so many of the songs I love from Boston were on the same original, self titled debut album. They sure don't write music like they used to! So many great tracks on this album, front to back!
If a band could release only one album, you would want it to be this. After almost 50 years, Boston's debut is an iconic masterpiece. Almost every song is a staple of classic rock.
Highly underrated was Sweet, Desolation Boulevard, it had their 2 hit songs and the rest was like this, great track after track, heavy and ahead of its time.
Yes we did...What happened? We were going to change the world and they shot us down at Kent State a few years before. We should have never given up the fight. Maybe the world would be a better place had the fight continued but no one wanted to be shot down on campus for opposing and marching against ROTC. WHY???
I was 4 when this album came out. My brother, who is 7 years older than me, had got this on 8 track and I am so glad he did. Boston is absolutely amazing.
I was 20 when this came out. My experience was probably different than yours. I seem to recall parties, with lots of strange smoke and beverages, and good times. However, I am not certain, it's kinda fuzzy! LOL. But, either way, we both appreciated the music.
I was 6 years old and I would go to my neighbors after school until parents came home from work. One of the older neighbors Steve played his music, and this music caught my interest and have listened and played it since.
This is such an amazing album in that he did it all by himself in his home studio. Such an engineering and music feat of pure genius. Easy to listen to and yet rocks hard. How many car stereos have blasted this album in the last four decades? Millions.
Including MINE today!!! I use this as my reference album to see how my sound system (in car) stacks up against other friends cars. Crystal clear super highs that you are not hearing in todays productions!
You are so right! It's hard to pick one favorite cuz back then there were so many good bands. But this boston album is embedded in my heart. And we/i know all the words to every song on the album! Yeah I think it's pretty much my favorite. I'm listening to it right now. Rock on y'all. I just got finished listening to inagaddadavita! Very cool!
Wow!!! Brings back so many great memories . Every song is a hit! I was 13 when this album came out I’m 58 now & it sounds just as good now as it did back then👌🏽♥️🙅🏻♀️

I Actually a remember a lot of Band´s i see in the early day´s a long time ago 80´s 90´s well.... Kansas, 38 Special, ohhh the first Tour of Bon Jovi in special guest whith Reo Speedwagon concert.
I graduated high school in 1976, got my first car, blasted this LP on cassette till it was shreds! Bought another tape, still is one of the top albums f my long lived rock life!!!
This was the first vinyl album I played on my brand new quadraphonic stereo my wonderful mom bought me in 1976. I went on to be a guitar playing fool that raised two sons that went on tour at 15 and 16, funny how music can change our lives and we can remember where we were when we hear this songs. Thank you mom I miss you everyday☦️❤️
It happened when FM radio came along. 1967? They'd play what they wanted to, nobody told them what to play. AM car radio was for the 3 minute singles. FM radio was 4-5 minute songs, more relaxed. Records became "the Concept Album" instead of unrelated random songs. For example, The Eagles - Hotel California. I think FM radio coincided with Stereo being new, 1968? btw Jimi Hendrix was right there, right then! 🎶 all - nighters at the 💿📼💿 MIXXING CONSOLE, blending feedback overtones, using backwards even. 😎 🚬🔥 rockNroll.🎶 I got all Hendrixed-out. HEY listen to The Carpenters, and Bread and April Wine
Boston is one of the best rock n roll bands of all time. I purchased all three of their albums back in the day. I never get tired of listening to them. I recently bought a new turntable and get to enjoy listening again!
They made more than 3 albums. 6 Studio Albums Boston, Don't Look Back, Third Stage, Walk On, Corporate America and Life, Love and Hope. First 3 are great and after they tail off a bit. But it was great back in the 70's. In 76 we had this album and the next year we had Bat out of Hell. Arguably the 2 best debut rock albums ever. btw virtually all the playing on the album is Tom Scholz, with only Jim Masdea drums (who the record company got fired before the record deal) and Brad Delp's vocals added later. It was a clever deception.
When this album first came out, they sold out almost 27 millions copies released in 1976 and I my copy is one of them. It is my treasure forever to pass down as part of my priceless jewel to my kids and grandkids.
I was only 10 when this came out but I still to this day remember first hearing the fade-in intro of More Than a Feeling coming from a neighbor's hi-fi. For my 12th birthday I bought the first of many copies. Wore out three copies on vinyl before I finally could afford a decent turntable. Several cassettes and a couple of CD's later...Just recently exposed my 10yr old grandson to this masterpiece. Like his granddad, the outro to Hitch A Ride made his hair stand up. I told him "that's the body's natural response to really great music!"
@@stephenjokela you're my hero....i thought i was the only who prolly dropped 250 bucks on replacement lp's and cassette (sorry....my boson eight track was still going strong when i had to upgrade to cassette), i still have another 250 bucks to go !
I bought this Album back in 1977 will serving in the USAF in So. Cal on world wide flying status. Every song as other have said is so well performed that this is the real meaning when you hear the the statement "It Rocks!" The only other album that is close to this is ,,, And some will disagree because I have not heard everything and were talking R & R here,,, Is, is , is SUPERTRAMP "Breakfast in America" album!! I use to run with that music using headphones and a Sony Walkman. I had to make 3 cassette tape because I would literally wear them out. The good old days using turntables and 500 + watt amplifiers and huge speakers!!! I learned how to play every song on this Boston Album.. What good memories!!!! Rock on and Praise the LORD!!!!!
Was walking down the street, just vibbin, in my bag and i the Melody from this song came to me out of nowhere I knew I heard the song before so I searched and watch the video and was not disappointed.
I was fortunate enough to have seen Boston live at the Springfield Civic Center in the 80’s! I was awestruck! What’s more, I remember the goosebumps... Fran cracked me up with his headbanger style of bass playing, but man could they all play rock and roll or what? Brad Delp’s voice was heaven sent, Tom and Barry’s guitar playing was magical and Sid’s drumming was perfectly created to support the sound! Goosebumps man... Goosebumps!
I saw them at the Spectrum in Philly in 76! It has been my most favorite concert of all! I have to turn it up whenever Boston comes on! That will always be a given✌️😉❤️
FRAN IS AWAESOME TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could find more videos with him and his style while playing the Bass guitar. It's SEP 2022 right now NYC.. I'm 47..I've been in a BOSTON mood for the past three weeks straight. Switching between the album and the 1979 Concert !! I can't stop watching and listening. See Sib gasping for air as he bangs on those symbols almost reaching muscle exhaustion during the intro to Foreplay !!!!! AMAZING!! All of them on this album ARE AMAZING!!!! iT'S REALLY DEPRESSING TO KNOW the negatives of certain events that came about in time from then to now. This album will NEVER get old! It's SUPERNATURAL...GIVES ME A NATURAL HIGH!
I saw them in 1978 in concert. You are right. They sounded like the album. But waiting at the gate to get in, And they finally opened it, I almost felled got stampeded on. My boyfriend grabbed me. I was a actually being carried at first. It was scary. But worth it. Best concert I ever saw. And I have seen most all including The Stones.
One of THE essential "wall of sound" bands. So unique and ethereal. I can never get enough Boston. Brad Delp.....wow. There will NEVER BE ANOTHER BAND THAT SOUNDS AS GOOD!
I was 16 years old when this album came out. Now im 62 and i still love it.iv still got the original album i bought when i was 16 in 1976 Boston Rocks xx
OMG those high notes!!! Brad, how the HELL DID YOU HIT THOSE? We will never know, you left us far too early. Love you and miss you, buddy! Cheers! Thanks for the legacy you left behind.
Timeless Classic! I remember when I heard this song for the first time. I was in high school. I will be 62 soon. Thanks for making me young again! Thanks, Brad! You left too soon but wow, what a legacy you left behind. Cheers, buddy!
I need a serious time machine to where the music was this again and the times were so much better...who knows maybe back to future but stay in the past
One of those albums where, it is a crystal clear memory where you were and what were you doing the first time you ever heard it. One of my all time favourite albums for sure!!
I will never get tired listening to Boston and Brad Delp for the rest of my life and thankful my life is still strong just listening to him almost everyday. He represent my youth and old memories that will never died as he looks just like someone I deeply love and like Brad he was taken from me too soon and he was the same age as Brad Delp but both lives continues on thru Brad music.
Full respects to he, and yee , but it's probably b/c Tom Schultz invented THE ROCKMAN for guitar. Specifically, the CHORUS EFFECT it's his invention. Literally sounds like a Chorus (chior) of guitarists. SONY WALKMAN belt clip cassette player scenario. But, guitar input, effects, PROFESSIONAL RECORDING MIX BOARD OUTPUT JACK and practice headphones. Guy's a GENIUS. His nickname in the Documentary is 🎶 " THE SOUNDMAN " 🎶
@@Michael-ss1wf 63 years and I agree with you on the music being the best ....that is until I heard this all female Japanese band called "Band-Maid" (2013-to today) that I include now. These young ladies have brought Rock back. You cant tie them down with any genre because they are unlike any band out there. Check them out starting with THRILL (their first video) then Live performances Domination and Freedom. After that you will be hooked.
00:00 "More Than a Feeling" 04:42 "Peace of Mind" 09:45 "Foreplay/Long Time" 17:35 "Rock & Roll Band" 20:36 "Smokin'" 24:57 "Hitch a Ride" 29:10 "Something About You" 32:58 "Let Me Take You Home Tonight"
Right at 27:30, when this beautiful combination of chords takes off, my mind travels. It's like an eagle on the highest peak spreading is wings and takes off to infinity! I just replayed again and again. One of the best I've ever heard. It's just unique. What a way to start this Friday!!!👍
Oh I was right at the point of take off you mentioned! Freaky! I had to scroll up to make sure it was what you too were referring to. Sure was...great minds and all that! so beautiful brought tears to my eyes. It's been too long since I listened to some of this music.
I can remember being like a Jr in high school going to a couple of keggers was the only music we wanted to listen to all night.. I'm sure happy i grew up in the 70s great times great music 🎉❤😊
Daughter wife and I went to see them when Brad was still alive at the muckleshoot venue most amazing consert I have ever been to just waves of music going over you best concert ever rip Bradley!!!!
I was 5 or 6 when this came out. My brother had the 8-track. I latched onto it and I loved it so much my parents bought me the album. The first rock album I ever owned and to this day one of my most favourite and most cherished albums of all-time. Never sounds dated, always knocks my on my ass and stands up stronger than ever 46 years later. Its really sad that Brad Delp never found his Peace Of Mind. And after years together w/Boston, he and Scholz didnt get along. Brad seemed like such a nice guy in interview, very down to earth, very un-rockstar. He claimed to have battled depression since adolescence. Who would've known? I've been enjoying this album again a lot lately, its been awhile. So sad about Brad. I guess its because this album has been so important to me since my childhood in the 70s, it sort of feels like losing an old friend. But thank God for the music, long live rock!
Very lucky to have music like this,... when I was in high school,.... 617 hp. small-block "67" Camaro,.... Michelob in my right hand,... and Boston,.. on the cassette player,... OH YEAH.......
I've seen Boston 3 or 4 times , unfortunately without Brad Delp but nonetheless best concert experience. Tom Sholtz is just an incredible American treasure, the first album is to me as any album the Beatles put out, as a time less piece of work. Every time I hear More than a feeling, I love singing the first few lines and then I'm like, I wish I could hit those high notes and that's gotta be one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you Tom. Soundtrack of our lives. So much positivity in almost everything and how can you not feel good when you hear piece of mind. It is rare that I don't have a Boston song going on in my mind every Day. I love it, thanks so much Tom Scholtz.
And when I think of a rock and roll band Boston to me is the definition of that . I don't understand what is going on in today's music but I hope Tom comes out with some new music
In 1979 on spring break a friend and I drove to Florida from Ottawa Ontario....about 24 hours of straight driving. We played this album without a break non stop the whole way there till we stopped in Daytona. On the way back we played the Don't Look Back album non stop all the way home. Still makes me smile thinking about it.
I started listening to boston when I was 13 years old. And those who knows me knows how long that's been. Boston is in my opinion is THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER. Thanks Boston!!!
I grew up listening to Boston. I remember riding to my aunt's house in Chicago and WLS playing More Than A Feeling. The radio station I later started working for in 1991 played this album. I absolutely loved it.
I remember this album being in high school when my best friend brought it to school one day he is no longer with us but I still remember him every time I listen to this album
Absolutely stunnin`kick ass from first to last tune. The 70`s best of any band in debut album. Sib Hassian job is a master class how to playu drums to support the song. Sholz`s guitars from out of the planet and of course Brad`s voice. Nothin left to say.

I got all Hendrixed-out. HEY listen to The Carpenters, and Bread and April Wine
Every song on this album kicks ass. That is all. Carry on.
Hey, whadda ya take me for? Your wayward son? Oops, WRONG BAND
@Praxedis Lindsey 1
I agree. Carry on.
Brad Delp's voice blends in perfect rhythm & harmony with every song! Takes you back to great memories!
Yup! Real Rock and Roll!
Rumor is that he is Steve Perry's father.
@@dwainsellers6453 Wow! I never heard that.
Brad had issues that Tommy exploited.
Yes, and that IS NOT AUTOTUNE!!! Those were the days. REAL musician.
Boston is one of the best rock n roll bands of all time. I purchased all three of their albums back in the day. I never get tired of listening to them. I recently bought a new turntable and get to enjoy listening again!
By far amigo!!! Super Banda Boston.....
They made more than 3 albums. 6 Studio Albums Boston, Don't Look Back, Third Stage, Walk On, Corporate America and Life, Love and Hope. First 3 are great and after they tail off a bit. But it was great back in the 70's. In 76 we had this album and the next year we had Bat out of Hell. Arguably the 2 best debut rock albums ever. btw virtually all the playing on the album is Tom Scholz, with only Jim Masdea drums (who the record company got fired before the record deal) and Brad Delp's vocals added later. It was a clever deception.
Best music brings back memories especially the lost loved ones we use to rock n roll together❤
I sure miss this good old music!!!!
When this album first came out, they sold out almost 27 millions copies released in 1976 and I my copy is one of them. It is my treasure forever to pass down as part of my priceless jewel to my kids and grandkids.
But grandpa, the only CD's we broke were the black ones when they wouldn't fit in the CD player!
I was only 10 when this came out but I still to this day remember first hearing the fade-in intro of More Than a Feeling coming from a neighbor's hi-fi. For my 12th birthday I bought the first of many copies. Wore out three copies on vinyl before I finally could afford a decent turntable. Several cassettes and a couple of CD's later...Just recently exposed my 10yr old grandson to this masterpiece. Like his granddad, the outro to Hitch A Ride made his hair stand up. I told him "that's the body's natural response to really great music!"
@@stephenjokela you're my hero....i thought i was the only who prolly dropped 250 bucks on replacement lp's and cassette (sorry....my boson eight track was still going strong when i had to upgrade to cassette), i still have another 250 bucks to go !
Beautiful music the seventies of gold.
Truly a one of a kind sound! 🎶🎸
I bought this Album back in 1977 will serving in the USAF in So. Cal on world wide flying status. Every song as other have said is so well performed that this is the real meaning when you hear the the statement "It Rocks!" The only other album that is close to this is ,,, And some will disagree because I have not heard everything and were talking R & R here,,, Is, is , is SUPERTRAMP "Breakfast in America" album!! I use to run with that music using headphones and a Sony Walkman. I had to make 3 cassette tape because I would literally wear them out. The good old days using turntables and 500 + watt amplifiers and huge speakers!!! I learned how to play every song on this Boston Album.. What good memories!!!! Rock on and Praise the LORD!!!!!
Thank you for your service!
This is still magic!!!
First Albums are hard to beat when you make one like this!
Best debut album in rock history...
@@mikepatrick5909 Agree! Probably somebody out there will disagree, but, this was their masterpiece!
@@delshoemaker7616 true but Dont look back was damn amazing too.
There's still many days where I just want to drive around in my car and listen to this kind of music, it's no doubt the best music ever made.
1969 Camaro Z/28......
Make it a point to do just that! Life's too short.
With the volume up so loud that the next city can hear it!!
Was walking down the street, just vibbin, in my bag and i the Melody from this song came to me out of nowhere I knew I heard the song before so I searched and watch the video and was not disappointed.
MOST EXCELLENT! 💋🌷💜
Saw em in concert! Excellent I might add 😉
I was fortunate enough to have seen Boston live at the Springfield Civic Center in the 80’s! I was awestruck! What’s more, I remember the goosebumps... Fran cracked me up with his headbanger style of bass playing, but man could they all play rock and roll or what? Brad Delp’s voice was heaven sent, Tom and Barry’s guitar playing was magical and Sid’s drumming was perfectly created to support the sound! Goosebumps man... Goosebumps!
What up Neighbor =) I saw J Geils there wayyyyy back =p
I saw them at the Spectrum in Philly in 76! It has been my most favorite concert of all! I have to turn it up whenever Boston comes on! That will always be a given✌️😉❤️
FRAN IS AWAESOME TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could find more videos with him and his style while playing the Bass guitar. It's SEP 2022 right now NYC.. I'm 47..I've been in a BOSTON mood for the past three weeks straight. Switching between the album and the 1979 Concert !! I can't stop watching and listening. See Sib gasping for air as he bangs on those symbols almost reaching muscle exhaustion during the intro to Foreplay !!!!! AMAZING!! All of them on this album ARE AMAZING!!!! iT'S REALLY DEPRESSING TO KNOW the negatives of certain events that came about in time from then to now. This album will NEVER get old! It's SUPERNATURAL...GIVES ME A NATURAL HIGH!
Gtew up listening to these guys.. One of the best albums ever recorded.. Seen them in concert. They sounded just like the album..
I saw them in 1978 in concert. You are right. They sounded like the album. But waiting at the gate to get in, And they finally opened it, I almost felled got stampeded on. My boyfriend grabbed me. I was a actually being carried at first. It was scary. But worth it. Best concert I ever saw. And I have seen most all including The Stones.
I grew up listening to them to, finally got to see them in concert when I was 59 when they came to my hometown, still sounded🎶 Awesome 👍😎💓🥰
One of THE essential "wall of sound" bands. So unique and ethereal. I can never get enough Boston. Brad Delp.....wow. There will NEVER BE ANOTHER BAND THAT SOUNDS AS GOOD!
Few albums have ever been better!
I was 16 years old when this album came out. Now im 62 and i still love it.iv still got the original album i bought when i was 16 in 1976 Boston Rocks xx
OMG those high notes!!! Brad, how the HELL DID YOU HIT THOSE? We will never know, you left us far too early. Love you and miss you, buddy! Cheers! Thanks for the legacy you left behind.
R I P,, Get chills still listening to the best band ever!!!
Timeless Classic! I remember when I heard this song for the first time. I was in high school. I will be 62 soon. Thanks for making me young again! Thanks, Brad! You left too soon but wow, what a legacy you left behind. Cheers, buddy!
Sorprendente calidad musical, de muy alto nivel. Lo mejor!!!
Love it 4ever.i was 15 in 1976 and i still get this song in my head.love it..so many great 70 's memories
I need a serious time machine to where the music was this again and the times were so much better...who knows maybe back to future but stay in the past
Best album EVER....still is
One of those albums where, it is a crystal clear memory where you were and what were you doing the first time you ever heard it. One of my all time favourite albums for sure!!
Spot on Gerry
You got that right!
I remember driving around Danville listening to it on Cassette, probably with my GF Kathy next to me.
Raise Hell, Lord, Heaven, we're the Class of "77"!!!
Billings Montana Xmas 1977, my brother made me spend my allowance so I could buy it for him
I will never get tired listening to Boston and Brad Delp for the rest of my life and thankful my life is still strong just listening to him almost everyday. He represent my youth and old memories that will never died as he looks just like someone I deeply love and like Brad he was taken from me too soon and he was the same age as Brad Delp but both lives continues on thru Brad music.
this is as good as it gets. It still brings tears to my eyes after 45 years.
my friend, I am with you 100%

Sounds good to hear these songs in order!
70's flashback, for realz.
Cierto..... nunca mejor dicho!!!
Tom Scholtz's style is so distinctive, you can always tell that's his guitar playiing with just 1 or 2 notes. Unmistakable and unforgettable.
Full respects to he, and yee
, but it's probably b/c
Tom Schultz invented
THE ROCKMAN for guitar. Specifically, the CHORUS EFFECT it's his invention. Literally sounds like a Chorus (chior) of guitarists. SONY WALKMAN belt clip cassette player scenario.
But, guitar input, effects, PROFESSIONAL RECORDING MIX BOARD OUTPUT JACK and practice headphones. Guy's a GENIUS. His nickname in the Documentary is
🎶 " THE SOUNDMAN " 🎶

Mid 70's I was 19. They were HOT!!! Still are.
This was a great song to listen to while all of my friends and I were getting stoned.👍🚀🐾🍾🗼
Beating the dash, air guitar and all, while blowing a shotgun!!!
Still doin it..
Brad Delp best singer ever!!
He really had a compelling voice.
I was 15 when this album came out. I'm now 60, and it still sounds as great as it did then. Good things do get better with age!!
Me to the big 60 are music was the best thru the 60s and 70s it's still that strong
I am a 70's hippie too cat 😎😎😎😶
Me too 60 in Miami 70s
Ditto :-)
@@Michael-ss1wf 63 years and I agree with you on the music being the best ....that is until I heard this all female Japanese band called "Band-Maid" (2013-to today) that I include now. These young ladies have brought Rock back. You cant tie them down with any genre because they are unlike any band out there. Check them out starting with THRILL (their first video) then Live performances Domination and Freedom. After that you will be hooked.
One of the greatest albums ever
This is real music Live it love it.
Boston, zeppelin,rush, journey,.........,. still love the music after all these years ,now I'm ,60 still listening........
00:00 "More Than a Feeling"
04:42 "Peace of Mind"
09:45 "Foreplay/Long Time"
17:35 "Rock & Roll Band"
20:36 "Smokin'"
24:57 "Hitch a Ride"
29:10 "Something About You"
32:58 "Let Me Take You Home Tonight"
Every song was in the top ten.
The old rock bands never die out 🎸🎸🤟
Like a greatest hits album
Hey there Mr. Dan Price how old are u my good sir?
@@michaelethangross3395 53 you?
Right at 27:30, when this beautiful combination of chords takes off, my mind travels. It's like an eagle on the highest peak spreading is wings and takes off to infinity! I just replayed again and again. One of the best I've ever heard. It's just unique. What a way to start this Friday!!!👍
That's the guitar solo. It's like magic, thru the songs' end. I like it, too
Oh I was right at the point of take off you mentioned! Freaky! I had to scroll up to make sure it was what you too were referring to. Sure was...great minds and all that! so beautiful brought tears to my eyes. It's been too long since I listened to some of this music.
yes with lucy in the sky with diamonds....pure mind riding!
You sick.
@@tammyrains6152 why?
I can remember being like a Jr in high school going to a couple of keggers was the only music we wanted to listen to all night.. I'm sure happy i grew up in the 70s great times great music 🎉❤😊
I was in highschool when they came out , it was great then and now !
It's been a long time this is good memories
This is my ultimate feel good album just put this on and you are set, perfect album for what it is trying to do 10/10
What is it trying to do?
Another great band from the 70's...
Been Rockin Boston since 6th grade am now 58
Daughter wife and I went to see them when Brad was still alive at the muckleshoot venue most amazing consert I have ever been to just waves of music going over you best concert ever rip Bradley!!!!
Can only be truly appreciated with good headphones .
And loud, very loud lol Rock on brother!!!!
This brings back memories of love. He passed 2 days ago, will never forget 😢
All I can say! it never ever gets old!!!!!!!!!!!
Boston como la mayoría de grupos de esa época, de los mejores vivan por siempre,saludo cordial desde Acapulco Guerrero México.
I was 5 or 6 when this came out. My brother had the 8-track. I latched onto it and I loved it so much my parents bought me the album. The first rock album I ever owned and to this day one of my most favourite and most cherished albums of all-time. Never sounds dated, always knocks my on my ass and stands up stronger than ever 46 years later. Its really sad that Brad Delp never found his Peace Of Mind. And after years together w/Boston, he and Scholz didnt get along. Brad seemed like such a nice guy in interview, very down to earth, very un-rockstar. He claimed to have battled depression since adolescence. Who would've known? I've been enjoying this album again a lot lately, its been awhile. So sad about Brad. I guess its because this album has been so important to me since my childhood in the 70s, it sort of feels like losing an old friend. But thank God for the music, long live rock!
Very lucky to have music like this,... when I was in high school,.... 617 hp. small-block "67" Camaro,.... Michelob in my right hand,... and Boston,.. on the cassette player,... OH YEAH.......
The best music . The best decade
I've seen Boston 3 or 4 times , unfortunately without Brad Delp but nonetheless best concert experience. Tom Sholtz is just an incredible American treasure, the first album is to me as any album the Beatles put out, as a time less piece of work. Every time I hear More than a feeling, I love singing the first few lines and then I'm like, I wish I could hit those high notes and that's gotta be one of my favorite songs ever. Thank you Tom. Soundtrack of our lives. So much positivity in almost everything and how can you not feel good when you hear piece of mind. It is rare that I don't have a Boston song going on in my mind every Day. I love it, thanks so much Tom Scholtz.
And when I think of a rock and roll band Boston to me is the definition of that . I don't understand what is going on in today's music but I hope Tom comes out with some new music
Great comment! We used this soundtrack for our class of 77 reunion riding on a hayrack in the local 4th of July parade a few years ago.
Tom Sholtz.....'The Creator/Engineer/Artist Superb'
In 1979 on spring break a friend and I drove to Florida from Ottawa Ontario....about 24 hours of straight driving. We played this album without a break non stop the whole way there till we stopped in Daytona. On the way back we played the Don't Look Back album non stop all the way home. Still makes me smile thinking about it.
Very similar story, smiles galore!!!
Sounds like an awesome, hypnotic Ride. Rock On!!
Boston is one of the best bands ever! They are legendary to me.
No, Boston is the best band ever!
I started listening to boston when I was 13 years old. And those who knows me knows how long that's been. Boston is in my opinion is THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER. Thanks Boston!!!
Incredible music along with the magnificent voice of the late Brad Delp. This was the music of a generation.
Indeed and Absolutely
This is my dads fav harmony band ever she says and he listen to them since i was lit so grew on me an now i listen to them all the time as well lol
Hey another ole timer I'm 60 and still listening
61, andsitting here sobbing at 8 in the morning.....
@@patrickbiswell9140 64 and blubbing my eyes out for those days.
Belissimo som. Saudades dessa banda estadunidense. Volta. Volta.
Never dug the name...never got it. This group could have gone nameless....that's how great they are!
I'm just listening to this album fir the first time right now and I think my feelings force me to agree.
With music this good a name doesn't matter..they could have called it Scholz...
@@mikepatrick5909 True
@@mikepatrick5909 just sad that they called it quits ...🤬
Do you also not get the name Chicago for a band?
One of My All-Time Favorite Top of the Mountain Records ... Can I say I've heard it a Million Times? ... Yea!!!
the drumming on this album is excellent
Bad day. Get in the car for a ride. Open the sunroof turn this on and escape for awhile. Great memories.
I grew up listening to Boston. I remember riding to my aunt's house in Chicago and WLS playing More Than A Feeling. The radio station I later started working for in 1991 played this album. I absolutely loved it.
Scuse me, of you were driving to Chicago why were you listening Boston and hot Chicago than are even better?
Went through 2 copies of this album......the scratches, the pops are reminders of what albums are supposed to sound like, lmao!!
Hands down, one of the greatest rock albums of ALL time
This album rocks! Brings back so many memories!
I remember this album being in high school when my best friend brought it to school one day he is no longer with us but I still remember him every time I listen to this album
Absolutely stunnin`kick ass from first to last tune. The 70`s best of any band in debut album. Sib Hassian job is a master class how to playu drums to support the song. Sholz`s guitars from out of the planet and of course Brad`s voice. Nothin left to say.
I was 17 or18 when this was released. I'm 63, still love it!
Went to a high school party one weekend and heard Boston for the first time....been listening ever since
