This album "Boston" is undoubtedly the greatest debut album in music history. You pick ANY song from this album & it's a hit. You don't need recommendations. Just google the album playlist & pick ANY song.
100%
Exactly.
Zep 1 and Are You Experienced aren't too shabby, but I hear you!
Without a doubt
This album was mostly recorded and produced in Tom's basement by himself. Helps to be a MIT grad.
One of the greatest songs ever in my opinion. RIP Brad Delp. So glad we have this music.
RIP Brad and Sib
The amazing thing is that Brad always made it look so effortless.
Terrible live? Lol
Having seen them live, he was every bit as good.
Seen them live 3 times. Ya he was awesome live. They all were. He's just VERY underrated. The whole band is actually. They were ahead of their time back in 76 and I'll keep saying it. Funny it's taking until now for people to finally appreciate how good they were. If not for their stupid lawsuits and 10 year hiatus I think things would have been different. Just my opinion.
Were you from Boston-What a time Aerosmith-played at intermediate studios with Chc Corea, Larry Bird, Bostons World series appearance in a long time lost 1k watching the ball go underneath Buckner’s legs. The coach wanted to take him out I was their on first base line in NY with the son of Milton Bradley VP Chris Getney we were musicians and salesman and he loved me because I was the best but Buckner told the coach to leave him in so he could celebrate. They wanted to put in another player, younger, defensive player. So it was not Buckners fault completely the coach should of been more aggressive. I shit my pants when that ball went under his legs. But back to the time a great time to live in Boston-they just got Bledsoe with a ridiculous contract. Someone working for us found Lawrence Taylor rookie weekly pay check stub 22k he ended up getting ten times that much but we also know a mechanic who was working. on a car and found paycheck stubs in his glove compartment but found one check for over a hundred grand old and not cashed, forgot all about it he was getting paid so much-we knew then he was a burnout! The girls were hotter than people say. Got two sister who lured me into me bedroom during a party -the younger one said my sister is sick can you check on her went up tapped her on in her shoulder and she turned around and grabbed me and the they just took me to the moon asking me what I wanted. A week earlier the second oldest one I was giving a ride home and she said you know my girlfriend and mother slept with her boyfriend and she asked what do you think about that-I said what a lucky guy! She was feeling me out At the party I had a half pound of gold columbia pot in a bowl People were helping them selves but they were respectful nobody grabbed a pocket full- after being upstairs I got my boss who was with the oldest sister and I grabbed him while the oldest sister was sleeping and said come on we went upstairs and about 5 minutes later the sister they were Italian knocked down my door and she started yelling you two did it again and was attacking us and a friend grabbed a chair and held her off. They were naked I still had my underwear The next day she locked herself in a van and it was like 90 % so we called the police who called the emt and took her to the psych hospital but in telling you that was just one instance the younger girl was a freak Beautiful she would bring her friends over and we would just go off-a incredible life I had working for that company making thousands and was only 20yrs old.Met Walter Payton-Bernie Kosar who was playing the Bears but was playing golf in front of him and his 300lbs line man. Excuse the biography but if your from Boston All I can say is it rocked-southie, not mafia dudes, got robbed with automatic weapons and the guy took my vehicle and equipment but gave me a bad off killer pot! Crazy times! Fenway, Yazd was still playing. But the music talent was incredible, Boston Aerosmith, Stanley Clark DiMeola. And making money 1-1509 week 1980 20 yrs old. Went back it was a complete awesome city. All the city streets were underground. 👍
@@89801wink I concur!
No Brad Delph you will never be Forgotten.😢
You can just imagine riding in your car with Foreplay at volume 11, and as it winds down you stop at the light, and back when this came out everyone around you at the intersection
either knew what was coming next, or was about to find out. The smiles I used to get when those drum hits popped, and that guitar lick screamed out, times I will never forget.
Wonderful writing skills dude. Matches music so image in head paints cool picture.
I don't always listen to Boston...but when I do so do the neighbors.
And the fools now just listen to boom, boom, boom, and talking 😀
@@marksfarmcraft1888 very annoying for sure, and the bass is just distorted, makes me sad that it's come to this.:(
This song is Boston's opus. It truly showcases the talent of the entire band
Some great Yes songs would include Roundabout and Owner of a Lonely Heart
Owner isn't a good song to start with Yes. Roundabout is fire though.
Hold on too
Completely agree. This is Boston's best. IMO it's also one of the best rock songs ever recorded.
Great Song!!
Cool reaction....sexy.
This entire album is KILLER!!! This will be in your head for a week!! Enjoy this rabbit hole!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎸🎙🎹🤘🤘🤘💜 (It should be a crime to not listen with headphones!!)
I was 13 and this was my first unchaperoned concert - 4 junior high kids rocking our faces off. It was the tour supporting this album, so yeah…I saw this performed live.
I'm so jealous !
Me too jealous!
The Boston debut album was my 13 year old summer soundtrack, with my older brother driving, blasting this, to and from Zuma Beach on Las Virgenes Road in dad's old hand me down family station wagon with retread tires! Good times forever dude!!
Amen
My graduating year, "Don't Look Back" was our class song.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE GROWING UP WITH THESE CLASSIC 70'S TUNES? I LOVE WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS...THEY MIRROR MINE WAY BACK IN THE DAY :)
I was 12 when this hit. Boston, Dire Straits and Van Halen all had their debut albums within about a year of each other. What a time to be in junior high....
I'm with you brother. These are the songs we got dressed to for school every morning on our local Album Oriented Rock station and you literally went to bed wondering what you were going to hear the next morning when the alarm went off. Every week a new album dropped by another incredible band
I can't, but I can remember growing up with these hits, I am 65. My generation was the best generation for music in history, and it is not close! FACT!
Next "Boston" songs need to be: "Smokin'", "Hitch a Ride", "Peace of Mind", and "Rock and Roll Band" (all from their debut album!). The band "Yes" is a very deep rabbit hole, but "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", and "Changes" are a good start.
You are correct in everything you texted so I didn’t have too (but did anyway😁)
Starship Trooper
On the debut album, Tom wrote the music, played All the instruments, and recorded the album IN HIS' BASEMENT. Brad sang all the vocals. After the album charted, Tom had to hire musicians so they could learn the songs and go on Tour! RIP Brad..
I knew about him making the album in his basement. I knew he was a wiz with electronics. I thought he already had the band putting this album together. Interesting.
@@justme2 While Tom did everything in his basement, he realized he needed a drummer. I forget the guy's name at the moment, but fortunately Boston got a great drummer! And Tom was also going to do all the vocals himself, but then realized that Delp was the man. Tom and Delp worked together, creating those complex vocal tracks. It's worth hearing Delp's vocals on an "isolated track" video on UA-cam. Tom created so much complex music, overlapping multiple music tracks, and he also innovated the recording technology in a big way. And Tom is a great bass player by the way.
Tom is like the American Jeff Lynne, in multiple ways, from the absolute flooding of the audible spectrum with music to the heavy keyboard/organ stylings to the love of harmony to production wizardry. He blows Jeff away as a guitarist tho. :)
Yes!!!! Thank you for telling the genius behind Boston!! Saved me some typing Lol!! I saw them in Atlanta in the mid 80's and they sound exactly like this LIVE!! Phenomenal!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@jraben1065Sib Hashian was Boston's drummer, he passed away in 2017. In 2019 his daughter married her long-time boyfriend Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
"Hitch a Ride" has a few things going for it"
The 70's just produced so many good bands - Boston , Aerosmith , Styx , Foreigner , Van Halen , The Doobie Brothers , Fleetwood Mac , The Cars , Cheap Trick , Meatloaf , Kansas the list goes on.
And Journey! I went to all of their concerts in the 70s and early 80s in the DFW area! They do not make music like this anymore!
@@angelajames7917 Oh there's a bunch of bands i didn't mention like Queen - how did i forget them. Journey being another. You are so right , bands nowadays just aren't writing music thats as good as the 70's.
great list!
Cannot forget Chicago...
@@johnboehmer6683 Theres a ton more they were just the ones off the top of my head.
Brad is one of the greatest lead singers of all time, NO QUESTION.
"I've got to keep on chasing that dream, though I may never find it. I'm always just behind it......." BTW, every song on Boston's debut album is at least as good as "More Than a Feeling" and "Foreplay/Long Time". One of the rare albums which has no clunkers on it. On a different note, there is another band from Boston who had a legendary debut album called "The Cars". Boston's debut was released in 1976. The Cars debut was released in 1979.
At 1 point in Boston there was a band named "The Boston Police Cars".
Cars debut was in June of 78👍
My favorite Boston song and in the top 10 greatest rock song ever!!
The 3rd song from Boston. " rock and roll band"
Brad is a killer vocals in this song
Boston "Cool The Engines" is a MUST listen 🤘
There are those who know singers and put Brad among Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury etc. Many critics are snobs and generally leave Brad out. Probably because Brad was known as the nicest guy in Rock and Roll.
This is my other favorite Boston song. "Foreplay/Longtime" is more focused on Tom's awesome guitar and keyboards, while "More Than a Feeling" is mostly about Delp"s impossible vocals. Drums are great on both songs. For me, "Feeling" is more nostalgic and enjoyable, while "Foreplay" transports me in a sonic experience. Boston has a lot of other great songs too. Were all going to enjoy this musical journey! Still waiting for more reactions to The Who, and Cream. But I'll enjoy these regular dips into Boston.
Listen Don't look back e Party.
@jraben1065 The electric rhythm guitars on Foreplay and Long Time are played by Barry not Tom. Bary also plays the lead solo on Long Time. This is documented in the liner notes of the post litigation 2006 Scholz remaster of the Boston debut record. You will never find a video of playing the solo to Long Time because that was Barry's work. Tom now has Gary Phil play the solo
DREW, AFTER LISTENING TO OUR "OLD FOLKS" MUSIC, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY "WE" DON'T GET EXCITED ABOUT THE "NEW" MUSIC OUT THERE....LOL
True. Soooo true
Don't Look Back literally saved my life when i was in a low spot.
Brad Delp is one of the very top rock vocalists. Right up there with Freddie Mercury. Who the hell knew an organ and electric guitar would sound so good together? These guys figured it out, for sure. Peace of Mind is another great song I’d recommend. Cheers!
It was a great time to be a teenager when Boston was on Fire! We had the greatest music!
So so happy to see you and other younger generations listening to the best vocals and bands of all time this album is one of the best debut albums to this day RIP Brad Delp
Great reaction, Boston doesn't get enough recognition in the industry, Brad and Tom combo only once in a generation, rip Brad
"Hitch a Ride" has always been a favorite from this album.
Just make a list of the songs on this album and throw a dart and listen, nothing but pure listening pleasure ,I promise.
Rip Brad. ❤😢 Drove 6hrs to see them. Had 13th row seats. Phenomenal light show with the organ coming out of the floor. Kickazz show.
Delp’s last interview is on youtube, only two days before his death, I have to wonder if he had already made the decision. Was such a nice guy, incredibly sad.
I was at a Howard Johnsons outside of Boston eating breakfast with a friend, he says to me something about the "hippie " who just walked in
..I pointed out that hippie had on a Rolex.. I called Brad over and introduced him to my friend, Brad sat down ate and talked with us... days later I see his obituary in the Globe.. I was in shock...but at least I got to see this awesome guy one last time before he died....
Brad was insanely incredible live. Take the album and turn it to the max and that's Brad live.
Keyboards you say ? then give Smokin , by them , a listen . or They call me the Breeze by Lynyrd Skynyrd , or Riders on the Storm by the Doors . all have keyboards that will get you off
Or Roundabout by Yes for some keyboard magic
I would vote on "Walk On Medley" by BOSTON, which is 12 minutes long.
RIP Brad!! One of the greatest rock singers ever no doubt!!!
No words!!! It was wonderful growing up; a teenager listening to such great music. You had to be living in those years to really appreciate the depth of music during this fascinating era in music. In my Delp voice “whooohhhh!!” ❤❤❤❤
When somebody wants to know what rock ‘n’ roll is you play this song.
You Rock brother. You have the ear of an excellent producer. Imagine how Astonishing this was in the late 70's early 80's. We had little to compare it with. It stood alone and was Different. We had no internet, radio was limited, buying records was not always easy for a young person. 2023 It's still Brilliant! I appreciate your love for this, there is not a weak song on the first record. The whole band is excellent. More Boston recommendations: "Peace Of Mind", "Smokin". Thank you
Fun Fact: Most Record companies turned them down at the time. Even though their demo sounded like this. Let THAT sink in... Mind is blown. This was recorded and polished for over a year or more in Guitarist "Tom Scholz's" basement studio.
This honestly still stands the test of time, I always use this album to test new speakers when I'm buying em. The production is absurdly clean for the wall of sound they create on tracks like Foreplay/Long Time, and you can hear insane details with a proper speaker/headphone setup. Just a one of a kind album, really
Man!! Boston has always been my favorite band! I'm 59 yrs old and remember as a young buck, I used to go to sleep with Boston playing on my cassette player next to my bed!!
You really ought to consider doing every single song off of that debut album. It is regarded as one of the most iconic debut albums in rock history.
Was there back when Boston arrived on the scene back in the day. Like you, it was love at first sound. Not a bad song from this group
I saw Boston live 3 times in 4 weeks back in the 1970s. (And 3 more times in the last 10 years) They are a studio band but they really lose nothing live. In fact during the transition from Foreplay to Longtime, they had a huge and I MEAN HUGE organ, RISE from the back of the stage. I'm sure it was just a prop, but man what an effect it had on the experience. To watch it slowly rise as the organ played by Tom was just amazing. I consider it the greatest moment of my concert life and I've been to over 100 concerts. (Styx, Foreigner, ELO, The Moody Blues, Pat Benetar, Cindy Lauper, Cars, Blondie, Rod Stewart, Scandal, Stryper, Billy Idol, ZZ Top, and so many more.) More Than A Feeling is my favorite because of the Lyrics, but Smokin and Foreplay/Longtime, The Man I'll Never Be, Rock And Roll Band, Don't Look Back... really you can pick any song from the first 2 albums... you will not be disappointed. As for Yes, Owner of a Lonely Heart and Leave It I think are their best, but they do have a lot to choose from.
This was a record setting Album when it came out.
I can’t say how gratifying it is to watch a reaction of a favorite band, and they instantly just get it. You make great observations! I was 14 in 1976 and this album was an instant favorite. I knew every word, note, and drumbeat still, after nearly 50 years.
👍👍
Brad had an amazing voice. So sad that such a talented young man could take his own life. Boston blew my mind in the 70's and they're still one of the best bands of all time. The story behind their debut album is a legend maker on its own.
Bostons first 2 albums are fire 🔥
Bro this whole album is 🔥 in 1976 this album was playing everywhere you went
Next? Man I'll Never Be... Boston's Ballad, but Brad shows out!❤
Dude, you are right: Boston is great, period.
My eyes get leaky when I remember how optimistic I was when we wore this album out! Not any more
So much good music came out that year, man it was a good time to be alive
I saw them in 78 great show and the album only lost out for record of the year in 77 to none other than the Eagles Hotel California!
We would just crank the album first to last song and repeat. It was an absolute party. Arguably the best debut rock album ever released.
Rip Brad...thanks for the memories
Every single song on the Boston Debut album is a banger....every single song!
Not an exaggeration - there is not a bad song on this entire album; every song was a hit. Pretty much unheard of - and this was their out of the gate debut album! Go listen to the whole album. You can throw it in there cover to cover and rock out the whole time, and then play it again.
I wore out 3 cassette tapes of this album having listened to it that many times. This was the type of music that would blare from the garage when my dad was working on cars. I grew up on this stuff!
More Boston: Peace of Mind, Smokin, Don't Look Back, Rock and Roll Band, Satisfied, Party
This is a damn masterpiece
Interesting seeing someone hearing this for the first time, old guys like me have been listening to this for 40 years........lol
Your reaction is priceless. Boston: one HELL OF A BAND!Yes?
My very first concert. I was 14. Nothing ever compared. My favorite band of all time.❤❤❤
Been listening to this for 47yrs. Still kicks ass. Smokin is my favorite.
I am fortunate to have had this album at age 15 and loved every note, lyric and song on the album. I’ve also been fortunate to see them live. They are better LIVE. Still tops my list of many concerts I’ve been to. Their shows, in addition to the incredible music, had pyrotechnics, lasers, Tom on a Tarzan rope out over our heads, power confetti and that SPACESHIP.
Yes… I am fortunate to have seen the original line up with Brad and Sib.
I am thankful.
Your reaction and appreciation for Brad's voice is priceless.
One of the great classic rock bands ever.
Boston released their greatest hits on their debut album!
Here is song 3 you should hear from BOSTON, ITS CALLED" ROCKING ROLL BAND"
Spent my 17yr. old kid, paper-route money to experience Boston on their summer '78 stadium headlining tour with opening bands Black Sabbath & VanHalen, ...now spending my retirement money to listen to Ozzy & friends this fall in the desert, ...time flies by!! (Long Distance Runaround/Going For The One - by YES).
Listen to the Seattle 1977 live show on UA-cam, dude could sing live incredible too, I was so lucky to have gotten to see him sing live and meet him after the show, he was the nicest guy in rock and roll
“Foreplay” was written many years before “Long Time!”
This album is arguably the greatest debut album of all time.
Tom Scholtz had an electronic engineering degree from MIT. He invented all the effects pedals used on the album.
Toms bachelors and basters degrees from MIT are in mechanical engineering not electrical engineering
There's so much structure in Boston's records that it doesn't matter how many times you play them, you will never get tired of listening to them.
Been listening to this song since the 70's and never gets old.
THE GREATEST SONG of ALL TIME!!!! Period.......PERIOD.
More from Boston: Hitch a Ride, Smokin', Peace of Mind, and Don't Look Back.
YES songs: Roundabout and 24 Or 6 to 4...
Boston in general, and this song in particular, just overwhelms with harmony, virtuoso performances and tight arrangements. The saddest part is when it starts to fade out at the end.
Peace of Mind would be next if going in somewhat order.
Side One:
1. More Than A Feeling
2. Peace Of Mind
3. Foreplay/Long Time
Side Two:
1. Rock & Roll Band
2. Smokin'
3. Hitch A Ride
4. Something About You
5. Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Dude! You NAILED that high note!! TWICE!🔥🔥
BETTER LIVE !
Can you imagine having belting out these songs night after night w/only a few days rest and then doing it all over again ! ✌️🙂
“Brad…don’t do this again. DO NOT do this again. Omg 😂.
The album, the song, Brad’s voice…ladies and gents…this IS perfection!!
Yes, is another favorite of mine back in the day. Yes, Roundabout, Close to the
Edge, Long Distance Runaround. Boston songs, Don't Look Back, Amanda, Peace of Mind
Tom Scholz was a 20 year old engineer at Polaroid. He built a lot of the sound devices in his basement. Genius Guy!
Tom Sholtz ( the bass player ) is an electric genius . He designed and built all the bands guitar amps and effects systems , then patented them. Their sound is pretty much impossable with any other amp brand or effects system to sound like Boston . The album this song is off of is one of the best if not the best debut album ever, I remember well when it came out and everyone went wild when the first song made it to radio. Even after almost 50 years to me it is still a REQUIRED album for my music collection
Tom is the keyboard player, guitar player and bass player for most of the songs on this record. Tom did not design and build the Marshall and Ampeg amps used to record this record. There is no Rockman or Rockman prototype on this record. This was all old school tube amps and in the case of guitars Marshalls driven until the power tubes started distorting and compressing.
this whole album is fire hit after hit
Always so good to see young people hearing the stuff that we were listening to when we were young - and enjoying it as much as we did - thank you young man for letting us see ourselves as young people again 😊
Brad is awesome live, too. Greatly underrated.
He's going to do it.
Brad is vocals.. Tom is EVERYTHING else.
No he wasn't.
Yeah and Tom created this song in the FREAKING basement of the house he was living in. The man is a genius!!
Saw them Feb 14th, 1979 in Oklahoma City. My 1st concert. I was 15. I'll never forget it.
Tom Scholz wrote, recorded, engineered and produced this album in his home studio in his basement. He played every instrument except drums and lead vocals. And he invented the electronic devices that allowed him to get the effects he wanted. He has a PhD in engineering from MIT. Music is his side gig. How cool is that?!??!! He spent almost 6 years getting Foreplay just right.
Bruh life begins on a summer day in a car with this song on the radio.
This is my class song. It didn't get voted in, but a kid named Robbie Mccarthy made the wise choice and said that it did.
One of my favorite bands growing up in the 70's. They were great to see live! Thanks for this.
Boston is wonderful and Delp is one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. Easily in the top 5.
For Yes, try “Roundabout” or “Long Distance Runaround” or “Starship Trooper.” Vocals are great, not in the same league as Boston or Led Zeppelin, but as far as bass guitar goes, Yes is legendary
This was the last song played at my wedding reception ( preformed by a live band ). GREATNESS!
I saw him and Boston in 1987 Texas Jam he was great live 😂also. God rest his soul. He should be one of the top singers
Yes he's doing it
This is one of the greatest rock bands in history. I grew up in the Boston area and lived just a few blocks from where they recorded this album. Brads vocals are like no other... Toms guitar playing is phenominal. This group is the reason why I love 70s rock and roll. Tommy does a great job.... But he will never replace Brad.
There whole album are number one hits
What I love about music out of the 70's & early 80's is that it gives us that 'Hey! Look Ma! No hands!' feel! 😄 All before vocals that used 'Auto-Tune' like a crutch... in fact... before 'Auto-Tune' was invented. You know... back when you had to have talent, artistic vision and mastery of your instrument, whether that instrument was their voice, guitar, drums or keys! Yeah... I spent my teens into my twenties during that era.😏 Give you some songs? Dire Straits, their entire 1st album and drown in the guitar mastery of Mark Knopfler. Pick a cut, or better yet, react to them all.
Saw Boston in 1977 the year I graduated, they were fire in the 70's and 80's.
When I was about fifteen my mom bought this album for me as a Valentines Day present. Still have it thanks mom !💗
This song was masterly crafted!
Yes he gonna do it sgain
