I can’t believe they’re not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Astounding. Really.
Boston not being in the RRHOF truly is criminal! There HAS to be a law being broken somewhere....
They had a couple of good songs. Let's not get silly now.
@@princeofcupspoc9073, yeah the go go's had more than Boston right? They must have because they are in along with some rap acts, the remaining members might not even accept after being snubbed for so long, I still hear a Boston song on the radio every day but not the go go's so whatever, the rock and roll hall of fame is a joke
The RRHOF store should have toilet paper with their logo on it.
f the RRHOF. It's nonsense.
Their debut album plays like most bands' greatest hits, phenomenal !
I couldn’t have said it better! What a freaking way to say Hi to the world. Came out swinging!
@@A_Flying_PotatoGood ? One of the best debut albums EVER if not THE BEST !
I seen them play this a year earlier at Anaheim Stadium...10times better...they headlines and foreplay was played on a organ that had 30 foot 5" pipes....it was BADASS
Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school CA ✌️
Their second album too.
If you follow music, albums were big, Boston's production was a brand new sound, I don't know if it still ranks that high, but it was one of the best selling albums in history...if you listen to Foreigner's debut album, same thing: all great songs with insane production
28 years old and this is my favorite band… grew up in the wrong era! Parents raised me right!
Damn straight
Keep it going Buddy…. That time is long gone.
I discovered this band when I was 16 and they've been my favorite for quite some time.
28y too, and f- you in wrong era.

Why such Anger?
This song played so much during my childhood it’s like a tattoo on my soul! The 70s and 80s were Americas best years ❤
One of the best moments in the history of rock and roll. Blasting this in the car during a ride is therapy for me.
This song. A woman I loved dearly, moved many states away 3 years ago and left me behind. It was tough, it was rough. A few months later, I was driving down i95 (I moved a few states away too to cope), and was blasting this song with my windows down on a sunny Georgia afternoon. Was thinking about her. And then it hit me, this feeling of acceptance. Of letting go. Realizing and understanding that all things come to pass, and that I'll never hear from her again and thats just how it is. I finally felt in my mind and soul, that I was ready to move on. Later than night, she messaged me for the first time since she left, it had been months. Ill never forget that, and I'll never forget the feeling I had hearing this song. The universe is funny sometimes.
awesome comment man...thats real...
I listen to this album (spotify) every trip I make up to my family’s property bout 6 hrs away I start the first hr with their debut album, my children are now big fans. Love your comment!
This album came out when I was a freshman in high school. Yes I am old. The point is that it was revolutionary. No one had ever heard a sound like it. Still have the album and have never tired of it. Boston, Aerosmith, Kansas, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Deep Purple, The Who, Van Halen, Foreigner, Grand Funk Railroad, BTO, Montrose, and the list goes on. There will never be an era like that again. All Rock 'n Roll titans.
You, Sir, are OLD. And I kinda envy you. Me, I am just being semi-old. At least I got the 80s to live through my teens, haha.
@@shorerocks - I will bet that you are familiar with a lot of the bands that I mentioned, though. Rock on, brother.
Totally agree
VH FTW!
Boston Dont look back was my first album ever. My folks were slightly upset because, my aunt gave it to me on Christmas eve, but my parents had gotten me my first stereo, ... which they didnt give me till the following day, for Christmas, so basically it ruined the surprise, NOT! Anyway, that next day I got the stereo, and the 2nd album I ever had, Rush 2112! FYI, the stereo had AM/FM, turntable AND 8 TRACK! lololol
I got into VH, AC/DC, JETHRO TULL, TED NUGENT, ....and then i discovered METAL \M/ !!! It was straight up Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest from then on, for what seemed like an eternity! Then Quiet Riot hit, then Motley Crue, ...and then the whole world changed once again when metallica and megadeth came on the scene. At 16 we started a garage band, I was a singer. But then the next year I bought my first guitar. Started playing Priest and maiden tunes, then yngwie hit, and Joe Satchmo, and Steve Vai, so I pushed myself to play the most difficult stuff. Always a huge Queensryche fan too, and then the NEXT LEVEL of heavy came along when Pantera changed the world again. Then the grunge era started and Soundgarden and my favorite band of all time hit the scene, .....ALICE IN CHAINS!! Today, at 50 yrs young, I front an AIC tribute band in Buffalo Ny, ...I sing Layne while I play Jerry. Music is life! It all started with Boston!

RIP Brad, your undeniable contribution to Rock n Roll will never ever be forgotten! 🙏🤘
One of the best bands of the 70’s, hands down.
Yes! 2023
Brad Delp being dead makes me sad... I am not sure that anyone would argue that Boston was one of the greatest American rock bands ever.
Agreed and the Rock and Roll Hall of Idiots sucks donkey cock.
@@VitalityMassage You got that right!
Love Boston. They created an absolutely perfect first record. Very sad what happened to Brad. They were certainly one of THE bands in the U.S. for a year after the release of that fist record though. 1976 was an incredible year for great american rock bands BOC, Aerosmith, KIss, Alice, Frampton comes alive, Hotel Califorina, Jail Break, A trick of the tail. all had great albums that year. 76 was an incredible year for great music period.
Andrew Erwin Andrew, Boston was one of the greatest rock bands anywhere 😁
@@1irishanml Rush 2112, Heart Dreamboat Annie, AC/DC Dirty Deeds, Steve Miller Fly Like an Eagle (although I didn't really care for Steve Miller)....et al.
this will never get old. The album is a masterpiece
It has been suggested that this album is the ultimate house warming gift
drdotislovinlife 100 percent agree!!
This album taught me how to play rock guitar.
@@ericbergmueller2981 Great album!
@Anders Eriksson I believe it was One of the greatest debut albums but cannot say The Best. I can the songs never get old nor does my love for each song!
Brad Delp has one of the most angelic voices I've ever heard...yest he rocked... his range is crazy. His voice is so unique.
Sara Nash, were you lucky enough to have heard him sing all kinds of awesome Beatles songs and no dig at the Beatles but to me those songs sounded better with Brad singing them, oh darling, penny Lane, that song written about Paul McCartneys English sheepdog Martha my dear, one of my favorites, I believe that was on the Beatle juice 1996 featuring Brad Delp video on UA-cam
I was born in 1970 and this is one of the first songs I remember ever listening to. I can recall my mother telling my dad to turn the radio up because I loved this song so much! Thank you Boston for that happy memory!!
As everyone knows, this was from their debut album. Without question the best debut album in rock music history.
all Tom, all day.
Its debatable....THE CARS debut was really good too....FOREIGNERS first too...TED NUGENTs first was really good....there's others, but yeah BOSTONs first was at least ONE of the Greatest for sure!
Dont forget Led Zeppeling debut album
Yes it was and to think this was Produced, mixed ect... in Tom Scholz basement no computers back then Totally Genius. By far the best debut album ever.
@@andywilliams6224
Best EVER is a stretch because there are so many Great bands out there! Don't get me wrong, LOVE me some Boston but "Best Ever debut album" is like saying Chocolate cake is the Best dessert ever!
Barry Goudreau’s performance was just AWESOME!!! BOSTON was/is too good for the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame! Barry is my absolute favorite guitarist and he is also way too good for the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame too! 🤩👍
These guys don’t compare to anything today, this is when music was real.
I believe you mean to say “Nothing today compares to these guys.” But I agree with you
Yes, I agree with both of your sentiments. So love this band.
You're right. Today what they call music is utter garbage !
@@cluggyahoo I used to think that, but I disagree. There's a lot of great young, classic style rock n roll acts out there, they're just not getting any exposure. For example; I know people complain about Greeta Van Fleet being a carbon copy of Led Zeppelin, but they're still a solid jam and there are others keeping rock n roll alive. Music is like fashion, it goes in circles, this type of music will probably make a genuine comeback that's not solely relying on nostalgia.
You could've also just said "I know literally nothing about music today because I never looked beyond what was on the radio"
Being a newly crowned teenager back then was when life was GREAT. The world was alive. And EVERYONE got along. Please God make this a great place once again. Cause right now the world is falling apart!
100!
Socialism has creeped in to take away our freedom. Self expression will be cancelled as offensive to some other even with out true cause. Either side of politics is cool : we are USA!
Socialism is abject failure and we will lose the true foundation of independence from tyranny , personal freedom and self expression free of oppression. No room for LOVE in the new culture only hate.
I totally agree with you, what I'd give to be able to go back to those days and be able to do it all over again but this time with the wisdom I've learned since then
@Szolnoki diliházLet it burn !
The inner cities were burning with decay, crime, and race riots in the ghettos. It was way worse than today.
@@l8tapex FDR really ruined things with the New Deal’s socialist programs to bring us out of the Great Depression.
From the Social Security Administration & how it gives people money even beyond what they put in (if grandma only worked to get money to 80, so be it), the Revenue Act raising taxes on the wealthy, Farm Security Administration (socialism for farmers with bad money skills), and the National Industrial Recovery Act regulating “fair wages”.
FDR created generations of seniors dependent on Social Security who, due to their own poor saving abilities, should have been thrown out on the street. We all know they don’t get cut off based running out of what they put in. And Medicare, come on. More socialism.
Everyone knows America was founded on the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and that you should ask for nothing from your tax money. Ideally, we wouldn’t be paying any taxes and getting zero city / county / state / federal services. No military, no national power grid, no water treatment, no city sewer system, no road maintenance or safety systems, no public schools, no public parks, no national parks, no police, no fire department, no snow removal, no national oil reserves, no FAA, etc. Just rugged individualism baby!
Boston's bassist was headbanging before the trend ever started. They were SUCH an incredible band with such great songs.
snarlingrabiddog5150 actually kid. It was angus young to start the trend.
Actually Kiss were doing it first.
@@elvis616 Actually, you're right! I was thinking Angus like Plymouth, before you said this....good call!
Geezer butler headbanged 1969
Mozart and Chopin were headbanging way before
For those of you that never saw Boston Live, you missed it. They were the real deal. Real music, Real talent Really missed.
I was 20 years old In 2005, my brother went to South Lake Tahoe to see Boston, unfortunately all I cared about was extreme metal then. I didn’t go. Classic rock was my roots. I loved Boston but I thought I was into ‘cooler underground’ stuff. Cool the jets tour it was. It was a quite small outside venue. He said it was mind blowing. The Hammond B5 organ was huge, it was loud, but perfectly mixed and just epic he said. A couple years later Brad died. I have matured and always kicked my self in the ass for not going to see them an hour away from where I lived. I was an idiot. One of the best rock bands in history, and Brad was an incredible singer. I still regret it 17 years later, what a missed opportunity
I saw them in the mid 80s , I'm so thankful that I was able to see legendary bands live
Yess! Partytime...
I saw them the summer of '77. Never left the bass after that concert.
What a simple show. Didn’t need fancy lights or half naked dancers to distract the crowd because the member could play and the singer could sing. Rock on Boston!
4:03 is like one of the best guitar tones in rock history. That chalky midrange just cuts perfectly.
Barry not Tom playing guitar here
OMG that bass tone is insane..
7:45 ...that cat is feelin' it!!!
If you're talking about the bit in Foreplay, that's a Clavinet
Fender jazz basses and P basses have a way of pleasantly finding a slot in the mix. Ask any high end producer or engineer. It's a Fender thing. He's playing a jazz bass.
@@highcurrent1125 he's freaking stoned out of his head!
@@TransistorBased Clavinet is also touched a bit in Longtime. It cuts! I have one (since 1985ish) that I was going to sell but I might just keep it. It needs work but since it's mostly a mechanical instrument, I think I can do it.
The bassist was in his own little world.
Fran Sheehan one of the best great bass players...
Looks on drugs!
@@shuttle461 Who wasn't?
Yeah...because he's ROCKING unlike many of the bands of that day that just stood there! Good for him...not to mention he is slaying that bass!!
@@sebhac0123 lol your comment is so highly underrated 😄
Saw them in the fall of 1977 in Detroit. Sammie Hagar opened, Eddie Money followed, Boston was the headliner. One of the best shows I have ever seen.
That's the tits shits!!!
What a line up!!!
sounds awesome bro!!
Wow 🤩
Gawd I woulda loved to have experienced that concert!
This was my first concert ever !! In Boston at the Boston Garden !! Not many people can say that !! EXCELLENT CONCERT !! Been a concert buff ever since !!
Boston's original lineup - still the best.
Barry Goodreau doesn't get anywhere near the recognition he should as a guitar player. Great chops and nice flow with the solos.
MY HERO !!!!!!!!!!! 2017
He gets recognition with me, love his guitar.
jeepdude67 All this time I thought Tom did most of the lead guitar
Great Guitarist no doubt! Nice shredding, and tone for the time too..
I'm pretty sure on the album Tom played all of the guitar parts.
I had the privledge of seeing these guys in concert when I was in the 9th grade in 1979. I was in the 3rd row from center stage. Watching them play this song was incredible. Tom Sholz played a huge pipe organ off to the side; Sid threw his drumsticks at me. Who would ever guess they would play a concert in Rapid City, South Dakota, but the place was packed and it was a night I'll never forget.
I saw them right around that time here in Providence, Brad singing "man I'll never be", blew me away
I saw the same show in Pittsburgh. Was Eddie Money the opening act when you saw them?
Mr Delp, you have been gone awhile and NO ONE has forgotten you!
As he sings"you'll forget about me after I am gone" Brad we will not forget about you! You are missed! R.I.P. Brad!!!
Myles Siglin we will NEVER FORGET. This song came on the radio when I TOTALLY needed to hear it. TWICE. FIRST when I quit a job to move to Iowa. And the last time I had a drink of alcohol. Taking my time..I'm just moving on.
Myles Siglin I agree 100%
Brad was a good friend of mine . Hands down the nicest human being I've ever met in my life. I'd give anything to have 20 more years of his friendship... 💔💔💔💔
Justyce02 i don’t doubt that for a second. I met him here in puerto rico and he signed a bunch of stuff and took pics and talked and took time out for me.
@@justyce0223 nice bullshit
One of the best rock albums EVER!!!!!! Not to mention one of the best rock songs EVER!!!
I agree!
ALL I NEED IS BRAD AND BARRY !!!!!!!
I'll get Barry too, where do you want us?
groovygirl
the only rock song i've ever heard that successfully channels JS Bach. Soooo good.
One of the absolute greatest rock songs of all time, Boston sure lit a fire in the world of rock and roll with this one. A timeless gem!
Thee most incredible band in the world. Boston was my coming of age and I am eternally grateful for their music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Boston.
Virtuosos. So cool seeing Tom Scholz holding a keyboard chord down while a nother person comes in to take it mid-note so he can get the guitar intro started. Wow.
@90whatever
That other person being lead singer Brad Delp.
@@toddvandell85 You're right! That was the Delp-ster. And I think they did another switcheroo when Brad started singing.
Barry Goudreau gets no love as a great guitarist - his style is timeless!
Finally someone thinks that lol he is a great guitarist
@@alexvanover4444 he is amazing Tom was very fussy
those changes at the beginning are so fluid.
He's a damn MONSTER on this song!! I just saw this song live for the first time today, I had no idea he was playing the solo!!!! Dude is a beast!
Love the bass player thumping his head awesome
Obviously Tom is the mastermind of the band but Barry deserves a lot of credit. He's an excellent guitarist and he's spot on here. Just listen to him tear it up.
I always thought Tom played all those solos. Damn
@DB-kl9bp Barry played electric rhythm guitar on both Foreplay and Long Time as well as the lead guitar solo on Long Time on the record so this is all natural to him. He is not copying anyone else's licks. He is just being Barry playing Boston songs
I have great memories of this song, living with my grandparents a couple of years ago over summer and listening to the first half of the first Boston album on my way to work and the second half on the walk back, even though they don't know it and have likely never listened to it, this album will always remind me of the precious time spent with them. I am very lucky to still have them in my life. In my 20 short years I have learned to appreciate two things: Family and Rock n Roll!
You certainly have your priorities in order!Bravo young man!!👍👏
My favourite Boston song, and I love this performance. Brad looks like he’s doing exactly what he wants to be doing in that moment. The energy is so positive and uplifting. Instant good mood for me. Thanks Brad for all the gifts you gave to the world. Rest in peace, good man.
Without a doubt, Boston is one of the best rock bands of all time. Brad Delp had an amazing voice. It was sad how he had to leave this world with so much talent. I hope your soul is at peace Brad. Rock the heavens with your amazing voice❤️
This song is so overplayed on the radio that you forget how great it is.
The more years that pass, the more historic and amazing this footage becomes.
One of the very best records ever made.
Shit the 70's were great!!!!! I was in my first year of college when this rang through the dorms on Pioneer receivers pushing HPM series speakers. Girls dancing with skin tight jeans, halter tops and no bras!!!
Girls in Daisy Dukes and Tube Tops!
Now, it's the guys in skin tight jeans too 🤮
I was 15 years old and fishing in Florida with a friend from there, when Boston burst out on the air and you won’t believe this..serious shit!, a bale of marijuana floated off shore probably dumped by smugglers. We picked it up it was 56lbs. My friend was 20 years old, he sold it and got me drunk and we feasted on Crystals hamburgers. I wish I knew what I know now I would have asked for half! Lol. Best years of my life the 70’s I never missed a day of fun.
I was there
DAMN YOU,,,was born in 74,,,I missed that,,,but as a young kid growing up loved hearing my big brother jammin out with all the females you described,,,,MICHAEL....classic rock RULES FOREVERMORE
Damn. Bassist is KILLING IT!! Guy is ON IT!!
He's amazing.
On it, as is on cocaine
Cocaine is a hell of a drug LMFAO.
But who is he?
@@vanpiekeren Fran Sheehan
In 7th grade, Christmas 1976 I got a stereo system. My first album right after was this album. Still have it. One of my favorites...
My brother and I seen Boston in 1978 at the Pontiac Silverdome, he was 14yo and I was 12yo. We hitchhiked from Oxford with six 32oz beers...awesome time!
Who didn't!
Crazy story
The Fran Sheehan caption thread. I’ll start.
“Someone hold my beer while I beat a confession out of this bass!”
That's really funny.
This is when music was real and not about image. This is what we who watched this grew up on .... it feels like a century ago.
Dude I feel the same way much more feel behind the music of Boston then there is any other artist its why I love boston. Also as a bassist how can I not like boston
Yup. First time hearing this song. In a basement, sitting in a beanbag chair, drinking a PBR.
Boston should definitely be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their 70s music was some of the best Rock and Roll of all time. Quality is, and always will be the number one factor, not quantity. Would you rather win the Super Bowl one time or lose it 10 times?
Man, Brad Delp's voice is golden! It sounds just as good if not better than in the studio.
Boston is right up their with the Doors man. Timeless and their music will never get old. The lyrics, music and riffs are second to none. Truly one of the best rock bands of all time!
If there was ever a PERFECT album recorded it was Boston's first album . Words cant describe what a masterpiece that was .
They were a really great band@! Tom, Barry, Brad, Fran and Sib , all freaking amazing!!! Thx for the memories!!!!!
This music came in like a spaceship 1979 I went to this same tour at Oakland Coliseum and I was 11 years old and my brother and sister snuck the pot in sewn into my bell bottoms. I walked up to the guard and told him to look out for them, they're trouble makers! He laughed and let the cute little kid into the Boston concert and the rest is history. :) Love Boston, my default band growing up in Northern California
that was an awesome concert! Living in the SF bay area we got to see ALL the greatest Rock Bands LIVE in their PRIME!
who can forget "Day On The Green"
The spaceship was Parliment/ Funkadelic
Love it🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@rickcoona8368 Do you remember Sammy Hagar coming out swinging on a rope? Eddy Money and Jimmy Lyons were great too that day. But the best song Boston did that day was Goin to Hitch a Ride. Also another highlight was those grand organs Brad was blasting. I remember it like yesterday and I was 11. :) Whoohoooo!
God I love this song. The build up to it is incredible
I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin I was 11 years old when this album broke out I was riding my bicycle and some older kids were washing a car and had this song cranking on an 8-track I kind of pedal slowly around in circles and listen to the song what a jam Boston's first album I believe is the best debut album ever by a band I'm 52 years old now but I still have my long hair rest in peace Brad and sib
It’s your duty to introduce this music to the younger population. My dad once grounded me but gave me access to his CDs and records. That’s how I first heard Let it Bleed by The Rolling Stones.
He always a shit-eating grin whenever I mention it. He claims that it was by design but I think it was a happy accident.
'Long hair' - plenty bands wore that: but Boston created something special...
Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. Rock fan for life. Flew in to Bostin many years ago.
This is the first video i have ever seen of BOSTON PLAYING ANY SONG. AND IT IS THEIR BEST IN MY OPINION.
Best rock group ever and they challanged all the ithers to step up their game.
Barry SHREDS on this one! Brad was SMOKIN'! Wow. Rock -n- Roll will never be like this again. We all lost when Brad lost his battle with depression.
Tom Scholz is still around. He created it all. Brad was just the vocalist. Tom wrote everything from the drums, bass, guitar, lyrics, etc... But Brad could sing, for sure. Everything you hear on the album except for Brad was written and played by Tom. There is one song, though, that the band actually played for the album. But it's all about Tom.
Yea, that's my point. Tom's still out there with his various incarnations of "Boston" yet over all these years none have sounded as good or had even close to the amount of success as this lineup. Barry and Fran played the heck out of it, Brad sang the heck out of it, Sib drummed the heck out of it. There will never again be rock-n- roll like THIS, in my opinion.
I agree Axelle. Those were some great times back then.Some of the Best Rock&Roll from the 70s. I was 20 in 79, and Boston blew the roof off of all back in 76. Then came Van Halen, and that was that.
I agree but this is one song where the guitar solos were recorded by Barry Goudreau; he obviously does an awesome job live with it here as well>
I'm still here!!!!!
Fran Sheehan....the original head banger!!!
He was years before his time!!
I was 15 this was my first concert ever! Boston at giants stadium! Can't believe this video I'll never forget my first concert. Yes, there was hardly anyone there. Unbelievable!!! 😄👍
im sure you got some goosebumps.
Such an under-rated band, extraordinary musicians! one of my fav bands growing up in the 80's and still are to this day!
One of Rocks most underrated bands. The brilliant music of Boston lives on over 40 years later.
They would've been like the Stones if it weren't for T.S.' ego.
So much talent, easily one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Back when music was music! This band is part of my soul. I grew up skateboarding to Boston . Sometimes from the time I got up until after dark. I regret never seeing them live.
1 of the all time greatest songs..im.getting goosebumps watching . RIP BRAD.
Truly live, no backing tracks. back in the day when bands played live.
I mean bands still played live today buddy
@Anders Eriksson sir, this is Boston we are talking about, not Devourment.
Despite the marginal sound quality of this recording, you can tell they sound great live.
The stage feeds leaves out the sonic nature of their live shows, but, yeah, they were a formidable live unit. Not a note-for-note band, and were all the better for that.
despite a sound engineer as perfectionist in the studio as Tom Schloz
I saw them in 87. The only band I ever thought sounded exactly like the album. Thats not what you always want live, but in this case I did, and loved it!
Everything is very clear, regardless of the crap recording the quality. Mixing was on par...
@@mikegibbons2889 I saw them too then. Third Stage tour. Amazing...
Missing my friends along the highway of life. My bike riding around our neighborhood street and playing stick ball too. I take my memories and it gets lonely when I remember you. My NY. We fought for fun and we won with fun. Great times 👍❤️
Man, I was just transported back to Feb 14,1979 at the Myriad in OKC, OK. My favorite band live in concert. I have tears in my eyes....☺️.
boy I miss the 70's
You car hear the bass. You can see the bass. You can live the bass. All just by watching this video.
Icebrand Music I’m watching through my phone speakers and the bass has me worried about my downstairs neighbors 😂
Sholz the Savant plays a classical piece on keyboards then switches back to guitar.
Where the hell did he learn to play classical music? Where did that come from? Unbelievable!
This is one of the masterpieces from Boston!
You can find an interview on You Tube where he says he was into classical music long before rock and roll, and he played the piano long before he played the guitar.
I wasn't around yet when Boston made there best album Boston in 1976 . Hearing it today just shows how great that album really was even after 39 years . Its truly a master piece , every song is perfect . The album is great from start to finish with not a dull moment . This is in my opinion the greatest 1970's album of all time . I loved it even way more then Pink Floyd's "The Dark side of the moon" .
+Tyrannosaurus Rex i was thirteen when it came out---it was the first album i bought with my babysitting money
+margaret marquez I was 13 too- bought with paper route money. Had to buy two more- wore them out.
+winterman63 i did that with my cousin's kansas leftoverture tape, lol
+winterman63 how much did it cost back then?
+Tyrannosaurus Rex truly cutting edge stuff
Amazing!!! Fran Sheehan was a monster bassist! Thank you for uploading this!!
Love Boston! Listened to them for 30 years now. Had them on in my car yesterday. Never gets old
40 years later and this album still sounds great. Such awesome songs. Not a single bad song on that first album
THIS is Boston.
Timeless masterpiece. At first i was stunned by the crowd shots that this show looked nowhere near sold out. But thats a testament to how good music was in the era. EVERY weekend had a band of this caliber performing....you cant see them all!
geezus i cannot believe how well this live gig mirrors the studio. all of those sonic components in Foreplay were played live....and Delp’s harmonies are unreal.
we had it so good with 60s, 70s & 80s music.
I never knew double bass existed in these times. Jaw has dropped. Boston (in my opinion) was the true first metal band. Head banging, double bass, and insane guitar solos.
This song helped me along pacing me during my races. Kept singing to myself, I'm taking my time, I'm just movin' on....I won the tie and won the championship for the swim team. Came out of the blocks in first place and ended in first place. Exhausted and beyond spent. Boston was that voice behind me. They kept me going. :)
I was just a high schooler when these boys burst on the scene. They were monsters. They kicked ass between 1976-1978 with 10 hits. One my favorite band even today. They just knew how to write good music and they had the voice to go with great guitarist.
All the songs were written by the dude playing organ Tom Schulz. Every part.
@@darienhigh Tom Schulz was Boston. The others were just along for the ride.
@Ronald Pitts yeah they all just had to Hitch a Ride👍
@@Keepgoing42 Yeah I really felt these guys were special. Played their music full tilt on Jensen coaxial speakers. Only got to 1 concert tho. 13 rows from stage...
Hey Bieber this is what talent sounds like.
yawn
I was there. High School graduation present from a friend. Great American Rock band.
Gotta LOVE that no one have "critisized" the Sound quality.....
Cuz it is EXATELY how it should be :)
What a beatyfull song :)
I still have my Vinyl record of the first album that I've had since I was a kid in the late 70's. My older sister and I would get into fights over sharing it, so my mom went out and got us both a copy. It's not often you come across an album in which every song is a radio worthy hit......and these guys handily pulled that off with the first album.
One of the greatest debut albums ever
This music just doesn't age. Still as relevant today.
I was born in 1976 best year of all.
Love Boston.!!!!! That bass player is a bad ass!!!
Amazing that so many people have only ever heard "More Than A Feeling" and never realised Boston could rock with the best of them!!
Bradley Delp was one of those rock singers that comes along once in a while that blows your socks off!! Boston was just a powerhouse of rock!
When Boston played in Little Rock, I remember that they were described as, “A screaming armada of a thousand guitars.” Nobody ever got close to their unique sound. I think the transition from Foreplay to Long Time is the smoothest and best I have ever heard. They are certainly one of the best bands of all time in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this video!
It sucks gettin old
John s shhh! quiet, don't ruin it for the kids. just think what a horrible world it would be if they listened to advice from old people. save your money, dont take risks, plan for the future, etc...
David Menard yup i am 55 in a few months everything is startin to hurt nothing seems to heal.. got scoliosis, sciatica... but got a half dozen friends who didnt make it this far and i am sure would love to be alive like me. best advice... dont smoke. it will kill you.
I got a buddy i knew all my life.. now he's in hospital dying from smoking..i'm 53 he's 51
batvette I don't smoke brother but I FEEL YOU. I too am getting older myself and I am only 47 years old & I got arthritis in my left knee that hurts every time it goes to rain or when it gets cold out or when it snows. At least with this music I can feel young again. We REALLY, REALLY need a time machine BADLY to go back & stay there forever. Live life between the 70's and 80's . I would LOVE that. Peace out man & KEEP CALM & ROCK ON!!!
I fucking hate being old
and they are still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame... wtf??????
The R&RHOF IS ALL POLITICS!
Talent is not a prerequisite for admission.
@Vinnie Provolone
And Eric Clapton? That's right: three times! (first in 1992 for his career with the Yardbirds from 1963-65; then he got inducted again a year later for his career with Cream; and finally the third in 2000 as a solo artist)
well, basically they had one album. a GREAT album, but one album YMMV
@@gordongo7919 3rd stage was great
Most underrated Band of all times, they should be in the rock n roll hall of fame
i think Boston is one of the more underrated classic rock bands in history. They are one of my all-time favorites. I dont think they ever got the proper respect like the other giants of their day
We'll never forget about you Brad. R.I.P
My all time favorite Brad is dearly missed
Timeless. Such a joyous, upbeat song. You can't help but smile.
Oh my Lord! If your my age, how can any of us ever forget when this album was released. It was simply mind blowing wasn't it! And it still blows my mind more than 4 decades later.
Fran Sheehan is the greatest bass player to this day. I wish I had been alive To see them play in the 70s. To this day nobody can touch his talent. He was head-banging before anyone knew what head-banging was. I could watch him all day. Amazing.
