I love her reaction to our greatest hits that I grew up with. Cause to me, it's like , I don't know, but it the best you can't get this in this time. I love it.
This whole album was written and recorded by Tom Scholz (The guy in the silver jump suit with the gold guitar) in the basement of his Boston apartment building in 1974/75 which was unheard of back then. He also built a lot of his own recording equipment (He was an engineer at Polaroid) and helped to make home recording what it is today with some of the gear he designed. The fact that he got these kinds of sounds in a basement with home-made gear in the mid 70s is incredible. And he wrote great songs on top of it (He played all the guitar and bass parts along with the organ, the guy is crazy talented). Your reaction to Brad's high notes was awesome, great job as always!
I’ll go ahead and blow some very deserved smoke up Tom Scholz a bit more, by pointing out that he wasn’t just any engineer for Polaroid (which is already impressive enough); by age 27, he was one of the senior design engineers there.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Yes, to those who prefer a mindless monotonous dance beat to complex musical craftsmanship and lyrics that are actually RELEVANT to real life and intellectual thinking, rather than a desire to get down and boogie. So deep, isn't it?
@@jeanclaude7018 Why what you like is terrific, a classic - while what someone else likes "sucks"... Is an old old OLD argument - as old as when Cain complained that Abel was gettin' favored treatment from Adam.
Brad Delp's voice is just so easy to listen to. Some people can hit high notes but it may not sound the greatest. Yet, Brad Delp can hit those high notes and it is so pleasing to hear. RIP Brad. You are missed.
In many ways Boston was the Tom Scholz show but he was extremely fortunate to have Brad Delp as a vocalist. I couldn't imagine anyone else singing those songs. He hit those high notes with effortless ease. That is truly talent.
The band Boston was one MIT student.who had an idea of what a rock band should sound like, set up a studio in his home, and began recording all the parts, then one day he stumbles on a man with this voice, and the rest is history. What amazes me about his upper register, is when he taps into it, the electric guitar comes in for the pre-chorus, and I genuinely have a difficult time telling his voice apart from the guitar.
The look on your face when Brad Delp started hitting the high notes - I started to cry. A child of the '80s, I've been a lifelong Boston fan, and I've always appreciated his vocal talents. I was saddened when that voice was silenced so young in the 2000s... To see how you react to Brad Delp's gift makes me so happy, thank you!
I think you had a totally fitting reaction to Brad Delp’s singing- you clearly grasped the significance of his astonishing high notes. It’s been said he had a genuine four octave vocal range. I wouldn’t quite know myself, but I do know one thing. These still have to be some of the greatest high notes ever hit in rock.
Oh wow I didn't know he had passed, so young? Such a big part of the Boston sound, and visuals. 'Only' the drummer for one of the greatest rock acts in history!
If you haven't already, check out Pat Benatar. She was a classically trained singer who was accepted into the Juilliard School of Music but chose a different path and married her high school sweetheart. Her mother was an opera singer who gave it up to raise her kids. Fortunately, Pat found her way back to music. Fun fact: Pat & her guitarist Neil Giraldo have been working together since 1979 and married since 1982. Pretty remarkable.
Not underrated, everyone knows the was great. There was a music change in the 80's (MTV would not play rock), lots of new wave, new bands. Very few rock bands from the 70's were able to keep up and stay relevant.Just listen to David Bowie sound from the 70's and then the 80's.
@Spo-Dee-O-Dee True enough. I like what I like and dislike what I dislike. I trust my ears and mind to provide me with my enjoyment response to music. I don't need music journalists telling me that. That's all I meant. There are hugely popular acts that I despise and obscure bands that I love.
@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Music is so unreal to me. I like some bands many hate and despise others with unreal popularity. My musical tastes are best described as bizarre. That is pretty much why I only focus on what pleases me and not others. The Boston debut came out when I was 12 years old. It's a keeper. I couldn't listen to Lamb of God at first, but I love it now. I grew up on Judas Priest, very early Iron Maiden, Rush, and Triumph. I can go from Amon Amarth to Kenny G.
Congratulations young lady, youre the only reactionist ive seen for this song that picked up that super high note that matched the guitar towards the end👏
LMAO!!! She was talking about his range in the beginning. I was thinking "Boy I hope she put all wine glasses in the other room" this is about to get interesting.
Boston was your quintessential in your face, American rock band. Such memorable tunes that will never grow old. Brad was definitely one of the greatest rock vocalists that has ever been. " Don't be sad that he's gone. Be happy that he was here." 😊
Look up Brad's isolated vocals on YT for this song... Beautiful ! The 1st 3 Boston albums will change your life . Every song ! Always love your classic rock reactions Aaliyah, Enjoying your discovery ... ; )
There's something ethereal about the song... especially the last super extended note with the harmony... if you close ur eyes and listen , it has an angelic choral sound ❤
Every song on that album is pure gold, perfection personified! It is probably the greatest debut album by any band, of all time. I would love to see you react to other songs from this album!
So happy that the young generations get in touch with the incredible 70's, so many talented musicians and groups... It was joy, real freedom and music...
Thank you for taking the time to review this iconic song. Delp's vocal abilities literally shocked the music world and is one of the many reasons why Boston has stood the test of time. Once you hear them, you can never forget them. They were that good. I look forward to seeing more of your reactions to this group. Cheers from Texas!!
My whole life listening to this song I'll never understand how he hits those high notes. It just seems so natural for him. By the way, the Les Paul electric guitar has a distinctive sound and I just love the way it sounds on this song. Flawless.🎸 Good reaction! 🙏😎😎😎😎😎
He has one of those voices that makes me say, "I wish I could sing like that. Him and Klaus from Scorpions. Hope to listen to them soon. Always enjoy listening to this song and, as always, great reaction. 😊❤
5:24 your comment on the transition from the solo to the verse, I love how the solo takes us on a melodic journey thru the notes being played continuing the euphoria of Maryann, and coming down in an almost hard rock type of sound, and brings us back to the stark reality that she is gone… Love this song.
Fun fact Tom Shultz the founder of the band and plays lead guitar he wrote this song about when he was a little kid and he had a crush on his older cousin (Marieanne)
I was 14 when this song came out loved it straight away Seeing young people today enjoying it for the first time brings back memories Love your reaction
REST WELL BRAD!!!! One of the greatest voices in rock history who ended his life WAY too early! This album is one of the greatest ever(and this is the first album) and this song IMO is top 3 all time!!!!!! Oh, and it brings a tear to my eyes when i see you enjoy this like I have for way too long!!!
I'm so glad his voice gives you so much joy! It will forever! I've seen him sing this song live over a dozen times (yep, that old, LOL)! The amazing thing, that I actually timed in 1997, he held that last "awayyyyyyy" for 45 seconds LIVE. Because I saw them 2 days before at Jones Beach, NY. and had to know. He was just amazing. And the Best!
I'm 60ish but I can't wait to see how you sing when you're in your late 20s. You have such a good grass on it. But I can tell man there's a whole lot more to go man you're going to love it if you stick with it. I appreciate your analysis of all the singing in that so much. Brad Dill died far too soon and I was lucky enough to see them in junior high meeting I was probably around 9th grade when I saw them in a fairly small arena in like 1977 on this album tour. The band at that point had become incredibly tight and it just sounded so good and it felt so good. Brad was in his prime and just going nuts. Everybody in that band was really good. It started off as like the studio recordings and stuff but ended up with a really good band. Thank you for your reaction.
What you surely hasn’t noted is that , before the first guitar preparation to the chorus , when he sings “ I close my eyes and I slipped away” he sings the same notes that the guitar plays” . Rick Beato channel puts the voice track only and it’s incredible how Brad sings . This part it’s not notice by many , like me that has been listen to Boston since 1976.
An iconic cornerstone of classic rock. My favorite band since introduced by my brothers in the late 70s. Hope you do the entire album, every song is fantastic.
RIP Bradley Delp. Word has it God was putting together Heaven's house band and they needed a lead singer, so he was called home. This entire debut album was amazing, for my money Hitch a Ride is a mesmerizing can't miss song You have to check out
Everything you said during your reaction is the reason why Boston is my all time favorite group. Check out there song "Foreplay/Longtime" You will be impressed all over again.
Boston was a great part of my rock and roll era, and Boston and Bruce Springsteen were incredible bands. First time was 1976, and Bruce in 1977. Ended seeing both 7 times. Great review
All the harmonies and vocals on this and all the songs on this album were Brad Delp. This album was essentially the genius Tom Scholtz writing, producing, engineering, and playing every instrument except the drums, and Brad singing. Amazing.
Yes, even though they are showing the band “playing” in the video, it is the studio version for the music. So it is Tom playing all the instruments, except drums,and Brad harmonizing with himself.
Brad was not aware there was no band. He did not know for 10 years that all the instruments, except the drums, were played by Tom. ua-cam.com/video/da7IyPKUOwg/v-deo.html
I love seeing how music from my teen years is looked at by people today. I took My daughter to see Boston when she was 8 a year before the singers passing. Brad was amazing but Tom Sholz recorded a lot of the songs using new recording techniques of the time that they use now, no autotune. They did a lot of doubling and other vocal recording magic. Watch live performances.
Love your reaction and appreciation of this incredible band! Brad Delp had the magic voice. No doubt. The band history is a story that is almost unbelievable, but true. The spaceships on the album cover are actually upside down guitars. Look.
Im so happy to see the younger generation appreciate classic rock!
Thanks for watching too
One of the greatest rock singers of all time R.I.P. Brad.
I saw him in Las Vegas in 1997.
Correction sir, the greatest rock singer of all time.
I love her reaction to our greatest hits that I grew up with. Cause to me, it's like , I don't know, but it the best you can't get this in this time. I love it.
It’s so great to see younger generations enjoying classics like this.
Classics? I remember this song. Didn't think much of it then.
Odd response! Not classic? Let me guess, you don't like Journey, Kansas or REO Speedwagon, Rush either@ThomasFromTN
@@ThomasFromTN I don’t care what you think
It's like when this song was on Guitar Hero and Rock Band in the mid 2000's and tons of young people were introduced to this song.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I like John Denver and bread! What's wrong with you?
Delp could sing like a bird, the first Boston album is as close to a perfect record as you’re ever gonna get. Rest easy Brad, wish you were here
😮💨😔
The worst part about trying to cover a Boston song is this . . . how the heck to you copy that voice?!?!?!
And those high notes, good luck
@@rogersmallman8960 You could try and get Plavalaguna and if she's not available maybe Dimash.

Let Me Take you Home Tonight was written by Brad, and Smokin' was also co-written by Brad
If one didn’t already know this was the 70s, the phrase “silver jumpsuit with the gold guitar” would give it away.
@@gavinsheridan4680 🤣
Hmm, obviously Tom is awesome, but I wonder what would of transpired without Brad? 🤔
He was definitely a one in a million voice. That range was 💥🎶
Even one in a million seems way too common of an estimate, but I catch your drift.
One in seven billion!
This absolute timeless classic album was released in 1976. It's sounds just as good to me now as it did when I was a kid in 1976!
Thankfully, disco didn't last, but the good music did.

@spo
That was bulsh*t. Sure Donna Summer was good and she got a lot of fans because she was hot, but Brad Delp is more relevant than her today.
For all the back & forth they were all born in Boston. Lots of talent and drive for perfection
Brad Delp's voice is just so easy to listen to. Some people can hit high notes but it may not sound the greatest. Yet, Brad Delp can hit those high notes and it is so pleasing to hear.
RIP Brad. You are missed.
Brad could actually SING those highs, not just scream them like others.
The melody, the guitar, the drums and that exceptional voice, this is the perfect song ! One of the best songs of all time !
Absolutely! Fantastic

They’re all perfectly seamless. To pick the end of one and beginning of the other is beyond the ken of us mere mortals. 🤷🏼♂️
Fortunately, the proof is in the pudding of the isolated voice track. It’s quite amazing!
The look on your face when Brad Delp started hitting the high notes - I started to cry.
A child of the '80s, I've been a lifelong Boston fan, and I've always appreciated his vocal talents. I was saddened when that voice was silenced so young in the 2000s...

Brad Delp sang ALL vocals on the Boston albums that he performed on. That’s all lead, all backing, and all harmonies. 💯% Brad Delp!

Yes, you will find that in the 1970's there was something in the water. The talent of the singers back then were quite extraordinary.
The magic of Brad Delp!

BOSTON'S FIRST - GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME.
RIP Brad.... you were one of the greatest!
From Boston's debut album, which is a masterpiece.
Brad had such an incredibly powerful voice. Rest in Peace.
Shockingly, Rolling Stone magazine did not include Boston's album in their 2022 list of "100 Best Debut Albums of All Time".

Thank you too🥰

Thanks for the great reaction! Brad Delp really has a wonderful voice!
remember when Bostons first album came out. It was the being played everywhere it seemed. Every song was fantastic. The second album was fire too!

I'm speechless! Their first two albums were masterpieces. INCREDIBLE BAND!!!!!
A truly iconic and legendary band with a great voice that gave us some classic, amazing and timeless songs.

The song takes me back because I picture Mary Anne from " Gillagan's Island " waving goodbye to me. I want to see if she can hit that high note.
I love seeing how music from my teen years is looked at by people today. I took My daughter to see Boston when she was 8 a year before the singers passing. Brad was amazing but Tom Sholz recorded a lot of the songs using new recording techniques of the time that they use now, no autotune. They did a lot of doubling and other vocal recording magic.
