    Brad Delp was one of the greatest rock vocalists who ever lived. 🎤He was a tortured soul who unfortunately took his own life in 2007. He has been sorely missed ever since.

      Brad played in a cover band Beatle Juice
      They played Beatles songs all night
      at Mosley's on the Charles in Dedham Ma
      I went up to him and asked if he would play Across the Unverise
      he looked to the heavens and said I love Across the Unverise with a smile,
      next song was up and the world moved on

      @@31carrier So many talk about Brad's voice, but as you experienced, his smile and heart were even better. What a beautiful, gentle, humble, and caring soul. He was my college roommate's neighbor when he lived in Londonderry, I got to know him a little after 3rd Stage when RTZ was starting to pull together and would run into him around New England over the years. I last saw him about a year after his accident and not long before he left us. I do miss him.

    Boston is a great American rock band who had their biggest success in the 70's-80's. They had a lot of great songs such as "Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace Of Mind", "Rock & Roll Band", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be", "Feelin' Satisfied", Smokin'", "We're Ready", "Amanda", "Hitch A Ride", "Hollyann", "Cool The Engines" etc.

    • @Arkryal
      @Arkryal 7 місяців тому +15

      Yeah, of your suggestions I'd narrow it down to three for a follow-up.
      "Foreplay / Longtime" - Overall composition and musicianship
      "Amanda" - If she's diggin the harmonies here, "Amanda" takes it up notch.
      "Peace of Mind" - We know she loves a good groovy vibe, lol... nice bluesy guitar section, but up-beat.
      They're all great songs, but those are the three I think would hit her the hardest.

    You know, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about this song. No matter who you are, it just invites you in with a big friendly smile, and it's glorious. Brad Delp was the lead singer. Amazing voice. Sadly, he suffered from depression, and in 2007 he took his own life. Such a loss. Another thing: everyone who knew him said he was a great person: friendly, kind, gentle, down to earth, a regular guy and a great neighbor (for example, he helped people mow their lawns). When he died, the band's website said "We just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

    great reaction aileen... over 47 years ago (i.e. september 19, 1976) boston debut self titled album was released. the stunning title track "more than a feeling" took five years for the musical genius tom scholz to complete while working his day job as an engineer for polaroid. the arrangement and all the creative musical instruments were performed by scholz in his studio except for the drums which were developed by jim masdea and played by sib hashian. the lyrics are based on losing someone close and how music allows one to connect to memories from the past. all vocals (lead and backup) where provided by the late brad delp. the album became one of the biggest success stories of the 1970s and still considered one of the best rock albums ever... since the music was entirely created in studio, tom actually put a band together afterwards in order to go on tour. crazy what effect one person's dream can have so many others through music. enjoy and have a good week 😎

    Did you know Aileen that all the instruments were preformed by one guy in his basement studio in Cambridge MA (next to Boston), He mixed the entire thing in his basement studio, except for the vocals, he found Brad Delp the singer and was amazed at his voice and had him do the vocals. I am from Boston, and know the story, He was signed by the record company after they listened to the album and his production talents, But, But, he had no band... HaHa, He produced everything in his garage as an M.I. T. graduate (Wicked Smahht), So the record company said, he we signed you, but under the condition you have to get a full band so we can tour.... So the creator of all this, Tom Shultz, said, ok, I will get a base player, lead guitarists, and drummer... And the rest is History!! This is my favorite produced song of the 70's... And there is a video on You Tube that shows exactly how he made this Song More than a feeling in his basement while he was in College at famous M.I.T. Everyone that likes this song go check it out, it's amazing the genius Tom Shultz was...........

      Jim Masdea played the drums on the demo tapes created in Tom Scholz basement. Sib Hashian played drums on all but one song on the first album (and all songs on the 2nd). Masdea played drums on "Rock 'n Roll Band' on the first album. Hashian played on 3-4 songs on the 3rd album, and Masdea played the rest. Interesting note, neither of them played drums on the "showcase" performance the record company wanted prior to signing Scholz and Delp ot that first contract. David Currier played drums for that "tryout".

    • @neechee5150
      @neechee5150 3 місяці тому +2

      @Lookusa That is some fiction for sure. As the other poster pointed out as documented in the liner notes of every copy of this record that was ever made, Sib played drums on all songs except for one and Jim Masdea played drums on that tune. Barry plays on three songs. Fran plays on two songs, and Brad plays acoustic guitar on one song on the record. Tom was forced to tell the truth in sworn legal documents involved in the Goodreu vs Scholz lawsuit
      Tom most certainly did not mix this record in his home studio. Toms scully 12 track tape machine and console could not begin to handle the mixing of this record. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios. and this is all well documented as fact. All of Brads vocals were recorded in big name studios in LA by Boylan and this is a well documented fact.
      The band as pictured on the back of this record existed before this record was finished and before any tour was even planned. The band as pictured on the back of the record recorded three songs at The Record Plant LA with Boylan. Only one song made it to the record and that song which was written by Brad was Let Me Take You Home. The band started out being called Mothers Milk, but that name was changed mid recording process at the recommendation of Boylan and Dewey. and Tom had to use what was left of that Mothers milk to do a live show before the record company would sign Tom and Brad.
      Brad had been singing with Tom on live gigs and other demos years before this record was released. Barry introduced Tom to Brad back in 1969/1970 about the time when Tom auditioned to play keyboards in Barry's band.

    1976! We were so spoiled for amazing music in the day! Driving down the road as a teen with music like this song playing for free on our radio... and we just thought this was normal ;-) This song peaked at #5 December 25, 1976 stayed at 5 for 2 weeks. This blows me away because looking back I think it tromps the top 5, but then again there are ones below it form Queen, the Eagles, Elton John, and more that all gave strong competition for air time. see The Real American Top 40 Wiki. As the song says ... I close my eyes and I slipped away!

Rest of the band was hired so they could tour. Sholtz has a Master's degree in Engineering from MIT. Built a hugely successful company with the Rockman and Powersoak. When he wanted a particular sound, he invented a device to produce the sound. He also was an excellent Hammond organ player.

    This first Boston album is widely regarded to be one of the best debut albums in rock music history. You will probably get a lot of suggestions to work your way through it in sequence. Because this is literally the first song on their first album and this whole album is fire. And you will hear so much variety in it, and you will come to recognize their specific sound, and there is so much good bass guitar playing on some of these songs, and everybody was wonderful. I got to see them as a youngster in 77 and 78, and they were absolutely fantastic shows both times.
    I have seen several reactors do this after playing this first song, and it is fascinating to watch them fall in love with Boston.

    Foreplay/Longtime, Peace of Mind and Amanda are great Boston songs. You know who I have been meaning to recommend. Since you love harmony’s the original Harmony Supergroup from the 60’s. Crosby, Stills and Nash and sometimes Young!! It was a group comprised of great singers from “The Hollies” (Graham Nash), “The Byrds” (David Crosby RIP) and “Buffalo Springfield” (Stephen Stills, Neil Young. See if you can find a version of “Suite Judy Blue Eyes” from Woodstock ‘69. They have tons of great songs and kept reuniting for tours throughout the last 6 decades. They are absolutely awesome. You should definitely give them a listen. “Teach Your Children”, “Love the One Your With”, “The Cost Of Freedom” and “Carry on” are my personal favorites. They have about 20 more great songs as well.

    When I was in high school I live and worked in a town North of Boston for a landscaper. On Fridays, we used to cut the lawn next to the drummer of Boston, Sib Hashian (R.I.P.)… We would plan so we were eating lunch on the curb on those sunny and warm Fridays. The band would rehearse at his home and we would just sit and listen… Thanks for the warm reminder of this very sentimental memory. Fun reaction and review 👊🏻 Oh, and how about four octave Brad Delp (R.I.P.)

    Boston had some great music. It always warms my heart to see a younger generation discover the music I grew up with. Boston had some real rockers, but my favorite song of theirs was a ballad: "Amanda." It's well worth a listen. Loved your reaction, young lady.

    I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
    Turned on some music to start my day
    I lost myself in a familiar song
    I closed my eyes and I slipped away
    It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
    When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
    I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
    Till I see Marianne walk away
    I see my Marianne walkin' away
    So many people have come and gone
    Their faces fade as the years go by
    Yet I still recall as I wander on
    As clear as the sun in the summer sky
    It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
    When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
    I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
    Till I see Marianne walk away
    I see my Marianne walkin' away
    When I'm tired and thinking cold
    I hide in my music, forget the day
    And dream of a girl I used to know
    I closed my eyes and she slipped away
    She slipped away
    It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
    When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
    I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
    Till I see Marianne walk away

    That is the radio version of the song. The album version has another verse before the solo. Every song on the first two albums are all great songs. I would recommend Foreplay/Long Time, Piece of mind, and feeling satisfied as the next songs to react to.

    More Than a Feeling is one of the most iconic massive hit singles of the 1970s. It was all over the radio in 1976. The entire Boston debut album is fantastic, one of the best debut albums ever. Every song is good. The guitarist playing that searing lead, Tom Scholz, was a creative tech genius who went to MIT and literally created his own guitar technology. Great to see younger generations feel the joy I did at 16 years old when this came out (I immediately bought the album). A soundtrack album to my HS years.
    Your next song from this album should be Foreplay/Long Time.
    Just a tip....always best to pick the album version of great songs like this. This was the SHORTER radio edit. The full album version is 4:45 long. Always check the sources!

    I love this album!
    Some Lore:
    The first Boston album was recorded primarily in Tom Scholz's basement studio in Watertown, Massachusetts:
    Scholz, the band's founder, guitarist, and primary songwriter, recorded most of the album himself in his basement studio in the early 1970s. He used devices he invented and played most of the instruments, with Jim Masdea playing drums on the track "Rock and Roll Band".
    Scholz preferred to record at home because he was used to working alone and didn't like being forced to use the same equipment on the demo. He took a leave of absence from Polaroid to record the album.
    The band later sent the rest of the members to Los Angeles to make the record label happy. The tapes were transferred to a 24 track deck using a snake run through the basement window of Scholz's home. The band then worked on the vocals in Los Angeles.
    The album cover was designed by Paula Scher, the Art Director at CBS Records in 1976. Scholz wanted the cover to be tech-like, reflecting his background as an MIT graduate and product engineer at Polaroid.

I’ve seen sabbath, ozzy, skynyrd and the eagles. zz top. srv in austin. so many others. Proposed to my bride on the way home from a Scorpions concert in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
    I think I love your reactions more than most other on UA-cam because you have this fresh zest and energy and it makes me feel like I did when I was hearing this stuff or seeing it on stage for the first time.
