#RIPBradDelp ✨🙏🤘
Yes I totally agree with you Rip Brad Delp you left us way too soon 🙏
One of a kind!
I used to work for Boston back from 1976 to 1979. Great bunch of guys.
Awesome....it's been a few years since I heard this...too darn long!.......and oh, how I wish I could be transported back to those days..they were the best!!!!....😃🥲🙂..💥👌🤙✌👍
What was your job?
@@andresmorales7228 We used to carry their equipment into the Music Complex in Cambridge. Set it up and watch them play. It was great!
My mom’s don’t you dare touch that radio station while this is on in the car song.
The album actually portrays scenes from different "stages" in life, starting with Amanda's youthful infatuation and ending with the wistful reminiscence of youth in "Hollyann", which is another song I'm sure you would both love.
I love Boston, but I never realized this. Now I'm going to have to listen to the album again with new ears. Thank you!
@@davewalker8519 Definitely puts "The Launch" and "Cool the Engines" in a more interesting context!
@@HeavyTopspin Yes and also We're Ready and Can'tcha Say
Cool The Engines, bro. I'm not sure We're Ready to Countdown to the Ignition of The Launch to My Destination. 😁
Bands like this don't exist anymore. Blessed to have been exposed to them at a young age. I had some music lovers in my family.
The thing is even the bands trying to pay respect to bands like boston today went too digital and modern. The trouble is things are too clear and noticable. I know it sounds strange but the old days had more mystery and creation vs now everything is predictable and noticable
So true….. nothing real anymore.
Despite being known as a 1970s rock band, Boston didn't have their biggest hit until 1986, when "Amanda" spent two weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning November 8, 1986. It was the only #1 hit of their careers, but ironically, though the song is well-remembered today, it's not their signature song. Their signature song is their very first hit, "More Than A Feeling," which peaked at #5 on the Hot 100 on December 25, 1976.
In all, Boston had eight Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 from 1976-1987. Here's the list in chronological order:
"More Than A Feeling" (#5 in 1976)
"Long Time" (#22 in 1977) (often segued with the instrumental prelude "Foreplay" on Classic Rock radio stations)
"Peace Of Mind" (#38 in 1977)
"Don't Look Back" (#4 in 1978)
"A Man I'll Never Be" (#31 in 1979)
"Amanda" (#1 in 1986)
"We're Ready" (#9 in 1987)
"Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me)/Still In Love" (#20 in 1987)
TRIVIA: "Amanda" is the last #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 not to have a music video made for it. Also, "Long Time" is often played on Classic Rock radio stations in conjunction with "Foreplay," which is an instrumental prelude that segues into "Long Time" on their self-titled debut album.
Boston have only released six studio albums since breaking out in 1976, but their first four albums were all huge sellers. Here's the list of their first four albums, including their years of release and RIAA sales certifications:
Boston (1976)
RIAA certification: Diamond (17X Platinum)
Don't Look Back (1978)
RIAA certification: 7X Platinum
Third Stage (1986)
RIAA certification: 4X Platinum
Walk On (1994)
RIAA certification: Platinum
The entire Boston discography is always amazing to me. Every single time I hear any of it. They were so far ahead of their time. And then in the 80's, when this album was released, the music scene was so different. Their sound remained unchanged overall, yet stood right up along side the more current artists. They are in a class by themselves. Their music is timeless. I will always love Boston.
When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it. It is such a great ballad and my favorite Boston song.
One of the my favorite songs and partially the reason we named our daughter Amanda ❤️
This came out when I turned 13, and I am a lifelong Boston fan. And the album this came off of, "Third Stage", took seven years to make, and it capped off a trio of three of the best albums I've ever heard. Boston continues to inspire people to this day.
this was my high school days, my AMANDA was named Stefanie Whitmore in Ft. Wayne, Indiana
Was going to name my daughter Amanda after this song but I had 2 boys. Beautiful song.
Maybe “Aman” instead? 😂
Chris Thrasher .....try Armand
Armando? lol
Well, make a girl already, 😂
@@jimmythetout109 or Amando
I LOVE this album. I know some fans didn’t like it, but the melodies on this album are out of this world! Brad’s vocals and Tom’s guitar harmonies ❤️❤️❤️ (Only thing I’m not crazy about are the drum sounds)
I agree. I haven't listened to it in a long time, but I used to play it all the time.
Totally Agree.
I thought the whole album sounded a little thin. Had no bottom end. Just from a production view point. The songs themselves are still great.
For sure. No bottom end. But it was supposed to be some big landmark in production for Tom Scholz. So I don't get it. Landmark in what? Compression? Guitar tones sound great of course. It needs a new mix. But the songs are some of their best.
@@ilikepingpong i remember reading in the cd booklet about how it was all about doing it with no synths or computers which were all the rage at the time, and that all the sounds were achieved with just recording equipment and instruments. Or something like that. But they definitely compressed the bass and drums too much.
Awe. Love it. I've been singing the wrong lyrics for like 40 years but your right Lex, the songs pure, innocent romance.
I remember reading that Brad Delp sang all the background vocals too; such a perfectionist.
He has such a great voice and this is a great song.
yep.. His voice was everything.. RIP Brad
I just wish the song "To Be A Man" from this album had been more known ... I think it's the best on the album of great songs.
Couldn't go wrong with this. Great love song coupled with Boston's unique guitars. No one else sounds like them.
Brad & Lex, you'll love their 'Rock And Roll Band" and "Hitch a Ride"!!!
You can play any song from their first 3 albums and not be disappointed!!!! LOVE Boston!!!!!
Mmmmm Boston....
At 1:35 ,that chord that rings out after "I Love you", I find it hauntingly beautiful.I listened to this song,on UA-cam,after returning home from a trip to NYC.NYC gets me emotional because it's so big and so beautiful at night.When I heard that chord ring out it took my mind back to the lit up skyline of NYC.It moved me so much I texted my friend and told them to listen to it and hear that chord.My friend probably thought I was a little bit wacko🤣👍
Brad Delp’s voice was truly remarkable.
My Goddaughter is named Amanda because her dad loved this song so much.
Boston was such a great band. The first 2 albums were great.
brings back great nostalgic memories of the 80's for Mr. GOOD OLE DAYS
Me and my first serious boyfriend loved this song and wanted to name our daughter Amanda, which never happened 😊
Boston = Top 5 for me, all time! Thanks! Consider "Man I'll Never Be."
Yes! Similar vibe, but a more mature overall song!
A song that clearly fits into the definition of a power ballad sung by the late Brad Delp, one of the most powerful voices ever.
The release of this song has quite a backstory as well. Recorded six years prior to appearing on an album with a leaked version released two years ahead of it being formally released on Boston's Third Stage album as a single. If the record company had not pushed for the release of the second Boston album it may have filled the hole in the Don't Look Back album.
I met a beautiful girl named Amanda when this album came out. Haven’t met another Amanda since.
Really? We're everywhere! When I was a kid, there were 5 of us on the school bus, lol. Every girl was named Amanda, it seems.
Hi, I'm Amanda.
This album really needs to be listened to all the way through in order.
In the 1970s, I was a cub scout from the suburbs of the Springfield, MA, area, and my pack went to a Boston Bruins game. We got there safely and sat in our seats, but the stadium was empty except for the two teams and a few other sports fans. I cannot remember who won, as that was close to 50 years ago, but I suspect it was the Bruins as everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. On the way home, we drove through Boston, everything was open, and all the lights were on, but there were no people anywhere. I mentioned out loud that something was wrong, and the den's mother, who was driving, agreed. We got home safely, and on Monday, when I went back to school, I discovered that nobody was in town was a riot in the Combat Zone because somebody bought all of the tickets to the concert by the band Boston and nobody was allowed to see it. I was there for history. While I don't like any other team from Boston, I am a Boston Bruins fan because of this incident. I like the band Boston. BTW the city of Boston banned the band Boston from ever playing in the town again, but that didn't hold.
Still one of my favorite songs after all these years.
Boston has so many great songs, if y'all Google a little about Brad delp and Boston you'll see how they started and stuff. I can't remember the guitar player but he still to this day makes guitar pedals and all sorts of processors for music stuff. Super neat
Tom Scholz was the magical guitar player for Boston,highly underrated in my opinion...
@@jeffhammersley5866 yes lol I can't believe I couldn't remember Tom, thanks
this is my favorite name song 🥰🤣
Great song from an awesome band. This song hit #1 in Oct 1986 for their only top charter. Puts you in a good mood every time especially if you’re in love like this which I was at this time. Good times
Just a simple, great song. Helps when you have one of the best voices ever.
Beautiful!
I personally think this is one of the better ballad type songs that's ever been made.
I agree with Lex. That's the first thing I thought of when I first heard the song when it first came on the radio. High Scool Love. God I'm old.😳😁
I'm looking at both your facial expressions....
Brad is thinking about it with a stone cold face...but Lex is definitely feeling it, she's smiling & occasionally blushing like being serenaded to....
I've seen a few of these reactions on YT, & this song definitely hits differently woth the females....
Definitely one of the greatest songs ever made
Brad and Lex, just found your channel today. Great reactions so far!
Dad is a huge Boston fan, and besides his repetitive habit of blasting the albums on Sunday mornings, I remember at the peak of his career, how excited he was to have a six-disc changer in his Buick, and cruise to/from work playing a mix of Enya, Boston, and Sade.
Please tell me you’re going to give the full “Walk On” album its due. That is Scholz at his technical and creative best.
First heard this song in 1986 during basic training at Ft Jackson. As soon as I graduated I went to the PX and bout this cassette along with a Walkman. At this time it was only their third album they had put out in a ten year period. Like someone said before not everyone liked it but I sure did. Some of the songs are still on my playlist 😊
Loved his album. Had yo wait eight years for it but, it was worth it. Freaks me out as I was 27 by then. Miss your voice Brad Delph.
I still play this on my 12-string.
This was their comeback hit in 1986, and their only #1 hit. Supposedly it was written & recorded around 1980-81.
The song definitely churns up memories of young lust and love.
I went to many Boston concerts in the late 70’s. They were so good.
Great song
such a great song...simple yet really moving
This album came out in 86-87 when I graduated high school . Each individual piece of music in this album relates to a human emotion or experience. Great album !
1st...Aloha guys, good morning...beautiful song, excellent reaction... very much about young love...70s...a hui hou
THANK YOU!!! I have always enjoyed this song!
One of the most raw romantic rock ballads EVER. I do this one karaoke for my wife but change the name to hers Regina. I love watching how Lex's eyes lit up and the sheer enjoyment she seemed to be experiencing throughout the entire reaction. You guys are some of my faves on UA-cam. Been married to my high-school sweetheart since 1998. I can tell yall have such a great chemistry and are also a marriage rooted in love, respect and faith. It's nice to see kindred spirits in this crazy era we live in. Keep up the positive content and God bless you and your family. Love in Christ and much respect. Thanks.
I'm going to recommend two more songs off this album which are actually two of my favorite Boston songs. They are "Can'tcha Say (You Believe In Me)/Still In Love" and "I'm Ready".
We're ready.
It's We're ready. I agree with your picks.
Top of the charts early 80s
Another from my teen years-loved it then and still do-🙂
One of the best bands live.
In the mid-80s, many were excited for it, but some were expecting this album to pratfall, because music had changed so much since 1978 when we had last heard this band. It was a strong success because the pessimists forgot that Boston had changed pop music so much that everyone else had caught up with their innovations by 1986. (Journey is a band that immediately comes to mind.)
One of the great love songs ever. Very few people have done reactions to it. Thanks for doing it. :)
Some of the liner notes on this album give you both a sense of the time it took to make the album, and of Tom Scholz's sense of humor.
“This was an unusual recording project. How many studios could you walk into and find the guitarist punching the tape deck controls with his right foot while blasting power chords out of an amplifier the size of a peanut butter sandwich? How many projects could you listen to in 1980, ’81, ’83, ’84, ’85 and find someone still working on the same song?" Then he talks about measuring time by the number of light bulbs changed and the number of times he pressed record.
……
"Do you know that when some recording tape sits for a long time it gets sticky? Neither did I. How would you feel if you took out your four-year-old, one-of-a-kind mix of “Cool the Engines,” (with no safety copy) and halfway through the song, the reels stop dead with a bang because your tape has become glued to the guides and must be peeled off the playback head like adhesive tape. The fix: spread a suspicious looking silicon concoction onto the tape as it runs by, and try not to let the enormous beads of sweat dripping from your forehead get your capstan rusty.”
This song was so anticipated - 8 years since the last album.
1978 until 1986.
I had given up hope of ever hearing a new Boston song.
I heard it on KMET 94.7 MHz in Los Angeles.
Great song guys, Try Can’tcha Say by Boston of the Third Stage album
Ah, Boston. Love this song!❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍
It took EIGHT YEARS for the group to get the album out, and all of the original band had left, except for guitarist/writer Tom Scholz and singer Brad Delp. But Tom can still play and Brad can still sing, and so (even though the album didn't sell like the first two), they made another classic.
Genius of Tom Schultz delivered by the eloquent Brad Delp. Boston would not be Boston without them both.
Great song and reaction
I will tell you exactly what this song is... it is my history, I lost a girl back in the late 70s and lost the opportunity to have a family. I could have had it with others, but she was the Gift From God. no one else mattered after that day. Today 46 years later I found her, never been more happy. Just lost life with her. But i would rather spend my last few years now with her than never at all...
This was our song, my wife and I, when we were in high school. We just celebrated 30 years of marriage
lex is so genuine
If you want to play a song with beautiful love lyrics and epic guitar Boston The Man I'll Never Be.
Lex will absolutely love it.
I've always liked this song. I suggested it in a comment on an earlier Boston reaction, I'm glad to see you chose to do it.
My favorite concert ever!
Thank you for sharing this with me 😊
Love at the beginning is always so hopeful. So true Lex .
Great song for sure 👍
Brad you are a lucky man, you have a gem of a lady. Lex I love your reactions, and congratulations. Lex you have a beautiful soul. Blessed you❤🇨🇦
Such a good song.
"Love at the begin is hopeful." Most of us are looking for hope and love.........
So sweet
Brad Delps voice is so up there! You two should listen to “A Man I’ll Never Be”
Great song! Good album too!
Boston’s 1st album was the best to me. Some songs too long to play I know. Love 💕 Boston!!!😊
This was the first time I had heard Boston & knew it was Boston. I'm sure I had heard their other songs, but just didn't know it. This album was their third & came so long after their second album.
Such a good song
Love is fickle.
Amanda gets the flick when Hollyanne reacharges hers & his batteries.
I remember wearing this album out on cassette in my Walkman...While in high school.
I remember how excited my college roommate and I were when this album came out (going to guess 1986?). We definitely played it non-stop for a number of days after we got it.
Seen in concert when I was about 17
Perfect karaoke song!
Never noticed it before, but the verses have an echo of Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight"
This album, "Third Stage," came out when so-called hair "metal" bands were releasing tired rock ballads and pop songs written around a catch phrase (with the requisite distorted guitar). Boston's weakest effort still schooled most of them. No studio-driven rock formula can ever measure up to talent, creative spark, and genuine inspiration. Boston on an off day is still better than most can hope to be. Tom Scholtz is a true genius, both as a musician/composer and as a craftsman. Brad Delp had one of the best voices in the annals of rock (he would be certainly be on the lead vocalist Mt. Rushmore with Freddie Mercury, Steve Perry, Robert Plant, and Bono).
Sorry I haven't been on on a while guys been over seas but great album great song.rock on peace✌️
Do you wanna be free? Are you ready for me? Lyrics that go to the bone
You are a wonderful couple
Dude… guitar solo 🎸 no touchie stop button!! 😂😂
One of my faves but, Holly Ann is a masterpiece.
Singer, BRAD DELP's side project from BOSTON was, RTZ (RETURN TO ZERO):
"Face The Music"
"Until Your Love Comes Back Around" "There's Another Side" "All You've Got"
"Until Your Love Comes Back Around" was played a lot and it tore me up because I was trying to get back with a girlfriend that I took for granted.
She took me back MANY times but finally had enough and my "charm" no longer worked.
That was over 30 years ago and I still wonder, "what if?"
Also, EDDIE MONEY had two songs out around that time that killed me too, "I'll Get By" and "Fall In Love Again."
Ok now I'm depressed. Ha!
Their first 2 albums get most of the accolades, for good reason, but Third Stage is really good. I was too young to see them in the 70's but caught them on this tour and they were incredible!!
Had a friend who was a huge Boston fan, the first two albums were his favorites. He waited years for this one. I've never seen anyone so disappointed as he was when this album came out. And I have to say, while there is a lot of Boston I like, "Amanda" is almost "We Built this City" bad in my books.
But if you loved it, don't mind me, enjoy it. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff I like that you wouldn't. :)
