One of the greatest start to finish albums of all time
on my 3rd copy of the vinyl :)
@@jackassplus my pops used to play his copy all the time when I was younger.
A perfect rock n’ roll album !
RIP Bradley Delp The Voice Of An Angel!
dude , Tom Shultz did all instruments, engineering and recording of this album in his friggin BASEMENT.
Yup and Brad Delp, RIP, didn't realize there wasn't anyone else in the band after roughly 8 months. Only one song was recorded in LA off this album with the entire band. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you. There is a good documentary from Japan I believe with English subtitles. If you're a fan, it is worth checking out.
The three guitar solos on "Long Time" are played by Barry Goudreau en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreplay/Long_Time
strange that Barry Goudreau still sounds like Boston more than Tom does (Barry is the true sound of Boston, thats why Tom wont sue him)...Tom thought about it when Barry went solo and when he also did RTZ. Both sound like Boston. You cant sue for a sound you didnt invent. All Tom does is sue people and have hissy fits and not record until he gets his way
@@netrioter Sure you can. You can sue whoever for whatever whenever you want. CCR Sued John Fogerty for sounding too much like John Fogerty on his solo album...
Yes but he still had to put a band together after all.
Being 59 years old, I would have never imagined guys who weren't even born yet would appreciate the music I grew up listening to. You both are truly free thinkers and appreciate ALL good music.
i had an old man with great musical taste. i miss that old bastard
The quality and diversity of music up until 2000 is amazing, so I think people will always listen to it. Amazing amazing music, from more interesting times. Rock on!
Right...I'll be 60 this month!
I’m 59 and will never get tired of this album. Tom Scholz did all the musical instruments except for the drums. All in his basement.
Born in 99’, my dad is 63 and most of my musical taste comes from him. Love me some Boston, Zep, the Beatles, to name a few. So much love for the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s rock!
You need to listen to the album start to finish...it is simply a masterpiece! RIP Brad Delp
Been into Boston for 40years...never gets old..
Agreed brother! My heart hurt when Brad died, especially how he died.
It is a perfect album for sure. Every song is great.
It is Pink Floyd Dark Side good. Zeppelin 4 Not many reach that status with me.
They need to listen to Don't Look Back as well. The whole album.
The whole damn album is awesome. Not a bad song on it.
Todd Newton yeah, some albums need to be listened to from beginning to end.
@@justjudijjb3455 ....this one should be required listening in all music studies, for all genres!
The way it used to be. No cutting corners, nothing thrown together. Quality.
Damn straight!
True. AAA - Absolutely awesome album.
I always joke that you can’t listen to a Boston song without a smile on your face. But there’s definitely some truth to that. Something magical to their music
IMO, one of the greatest records to ever have a needle layed upon it. The album was certified gold two months after its release, and sold another 500,000 copies within 30 days. It was the highest selling debut album when it came out in 1976 (17 milion copies sold) and remained so until Guns & Roses, Appetite For Destruction was released in 1987 (18 million copies sold) and still is the number 2 all time selling debut album. I was in high school when this came out, it is and will be embedded in my mind forever.......
Guy's, you have just listened to what is considered the BEST produced album EVER!! The work Tom Scholtz did, with his master's degree from MIT, is flawless perfection. Congratulations on a GREAT pick.
Craig Miles thanks for pointing this out. The truth for sure!
Probably one of the greatest albums of all time, except the last song which is just average. Every other song is "5 stars" to me.
Craig Miles don’t forget his Rockman effects. When they came out, I rushed to buy those suckers.
Spelled "Scholz". Credit where credit is due. Great comment. I concur!
Definitely! Although this version sounds different to the original... Is it remastered?
More Than a Feeling... The very definition of classic rock
No question about it!!
Arguably the greatest debut rock album in the history of recorded music.
Can you say...marathon material...🙂😎
It is. Too bad every other album sucks
Yes 👍🏻 Inwould say its number one ☝️
I was born in 1969. Imagine being a kid becoming a teenager while Boston, Kansas, Styx, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Rush, Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and other anthem rock or arena rock bands were following up on the gems of The Who, The Doors, The Stones, Led Zeppelin and Hendrix. How can my generation not be moved by passionate and highly refined rock-n-roll! We had no choice because the music was that good. It is forever a part of what has influenced us as individuals.
Suggestion: "Feels Like the First Time" by Foreigner. It's on point throughout.
I was born in 62. What you said times ten.
Daniel Evans me too!
@@amandahowell9847 We were spoiled. Huh?
'67 here... I miss them days... music was pure and not canned
61 here, we were extremely fortunate to experience the best of RnR.
The best music ever recorded in someones basement on equipment the guy invented and built. I love Boston's story. Record company says "We like your band and want to give you a record deal." Tom Schulz says "Great." RC - We'll fly you out to L.A. , get you a good producer and start the process." TS - "Yeeaahh no. I need to write and record in my cellar." RC "That's f'n crazy and not how it's done." TS "Well that's the only way it's gonna happen." And the rest is glorious rock and roll history. Boston's unique sound is because Tom with his MIT degree designed and built the effects because he couldn't find them anywhere else. That's New England ingenuity for ya. And yeah guys this is definitely progressive. Mother flippin' cutting edge!
Geez. I didn’t know that! That makes the album even MORE impressive!!
Drew Earthling thanks for great info on this. I saw them in 70’s n 80’s. But was youngster then n never knew this interesting backstory. Thanks for sharing
@@jackijean8805 My pleasure. I was a musician in the Boston area for twenty years or so and was lucky enough to get to fill in on drums for them new years eve gig in 98'. I'll never forget it. You'll never meet guys less full of themselves. Another great story is how their current lead singer Tommy DeCarlo was working at Home depot and had a couple covers of theirs on TH-cam and Tom heard one and called him. Look it up. It's truly the American rock and roll dream.
Really is an awesome story yeah. Tom Scholz is a mastermind. One of the things he built was what he called the "hyperspace pedal" in which he engineered a pedal by fusing components of a Dunlop Wah pedal (i think it was dunlop) and a certain delay pedal. That's that "warbly", "spaceship" sound that you often hear before/after certain guitar phrases. One of the most unique sounds I've ever heard and I've always loved his overall approach to music too.
He used his own pedal he invented called a "Rocket Man" I believe
Boston is actually the vision of one guy, Tom Scholz and that first album was DIY produced in his basement. It's worth a Google.
First song on their first album, This is how they introduced themselves to the world. EPIC!
Seriously!
Third song on their first album. First was More than a Feeling, followed by Peace of Mind.
One of the greatest rock and roll records ever recorded. Still to this day stands the test of time. Boston should be in the R&R Hall of Fame no doubt.
Ryan & George - I don't think many Progressive Rock fans would consider this Progressive Rock, however, it isn't far off. I'd describe it as sophisticated feel good Hard Rock with strong Pop sensibilities in the vocal melodies. And, yeah, you can't help but feel good when you listen to Foreplay/Long Time. I've been listening to this song for 42 years and I STILL smile when I hear it. It never gets old, it never gets tired, and it never gets worn out. It is the highlight of one of the greatest Rock albums of all time.
Brad Delp (Vocals), and Sib Hashian (Drums) have left this world, but this song, and their music will carry rock music's legacy far into the future, for generations to come.
I envy George & Ryan in that they're hearing a lot of these songs for the first time. There's something special about discovering a song or band that can't be adequately put into words. I love this channel and you guys make me feel young again!
That’s what is so great about art. You create something and it will always be there for new ears or eyes
“I’ve got to keep on chasing that dream, though I may never find it, I’m always just behind it.” Life, in one sentence...
You look familiar.
matt smith do I? So does your M. I remember you from kindergarten 🤣😂👏
❣❣❣
matt smith you know what, your name IS actually familiar to me. Did you go to Milford or Lake Forest schools? Or are you related to Val Smith?? Cause she has a couple cousins named Matt. Are you one of them?? 🤔
A lot of people say that this is the most legendary debut album ever, I already listened to the whole album and I think they are correct. This album is pure fire 🔥
It's up there with Led Zeppelin and Are You Experienced.
It's amazing... i completely agree
Best EVER debut album!!!
Again, this was basically made in Scholz “garage” and was so complete that when he shopped it to the label, they released it AS IS.
1976,if I'm not mistaken!the only thing is about this group, is after the second album, they pretty much faded away after that,but I'm pretty sure they come out with one more,i believe!they were hot when they first come out though!!!
Boston should be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020
The fact that theyre not already is absolutely misunderstood 💯
Amen. One of the best ever.
I've never agreed with a comment more
Dam they are not in yet?? Wow that's a travesty
Found out the other day that are eligible for 2020. So when it comes to vote. Let's vote to get them in.
You guys are by far my favorite song interpretation team. Even when you dislike a song that I find solid, you guys always make genuine, thoughtful and valid interpretations. Love you guys.
You guys, I lost my dad this month, his favorite band was Boston. I had sent a link of this to him. I had the courage to scroll through his Facebook page only to see had shared this. Thank you so much. Knowing that you guys helped me share something with my dad. Just, thank you.
When this album dropped, everyone had it. Not two or three of your friends, everyone you knew bought this album..
Kemper Watson 💯
I think i have bought this at least three times! 1st on cassette! Twice on CD- me ex-wife kept the first CD, had to get it again! Well worth! And when i saw them live, it was such a transcending and spiritual thing for me! IT WAS PERFECT!
My dad still has a cd of Boston in his car. This song is awesome
Just like Frampton Comes Alive!
YUP!!
"Peace of Mind", "More Than a Feeling", "Smokin'" are good choices to do next!
'Don't look back' and Don't be afraid' is two of my favs!
Yes more than a feelin and peace of mind especially I feel like y’all would like
Edit: just went back and listened to that whole first album and it is fire
@@timriley6496 I would add Feelin Satisfied and Party!
Hitch a ride ....
Andy - More Than a Feeling next! Most iconic ballast of all time and my favorite song. Cry everytime I hear it!
Tom Scholz: The most underrated guitarist of all time.
Not just guitarist, producer, songwriter, sound engineer
@@gurnblanstein9816 amazing artist
Underrated in my categories
@SpeedRacer 650 I never said the greatest. I said the most underrated. People always seem to forget to mention Tom when talking about guitar heroes. They always mention Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Townshend, Beck, etc. I just think Tom deserves to be mentioned in that same category. He's not the greatest. No one is, actually. But he is in the same tier as those whom I referenced.
@@coolguitarchannel Glenn Tipton is also one of the most underrated
When I was a kid there were 3 albums almost everyone seemed to have. This, Led Zeppelin 4, and Frampton comes alive.
Play the song smokin from boston..same album as more than a feeling
One of the best-engineered albums of its time.
If not THE best.
And it was made(most of it) in Scholz' basement.
armadillotoe: if you didn't live it, you'll never get it. Boston is what you get if Meatloaf dropped 3 "Bat Out Of Hell" albums. I'm not sure if we could ever explain it but don't go to your grave worrying about it. Other generations will figure it out as they go.
Epic!!!
yes, the production must be given credit on this album, it cant be praised enough
Every song on their first album was played on the air. Every single track. How many bands can say that? :)
I'd suspect, literally 0. Certainly not of their debut record, I mean cmon. The closest I could think of is maybe Appetite for Destruction? I've heard a LOT of the songs off of that record on the radio. I just love Boston so much though I can't even hardly articulate it into words lol. They're insanely good.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 Counting Crows, maybe not all but a lot
And every instrument played by Tom Scholz in his basement. Sib initially recorded the drums but Tom replaced the tracks with his own drumming.
Oasis.
Largest selling debut album in history until Men at Work. Yuk.
I saw Boston perform this song live in concert, it was one of the best single performances I’ve ever seen and I been to probably 30 different concerts.
I saw Boston at the Gorge at George, Washington about 95-96. No opening band. They played for over two hours. Somewhere during that, Tom Sholtz comes out in this long green and black cape and starts playing Phantom of the freaking Opera on this huge pipe organ of a thing while the dry ice fog is covering the stage and the sun is setting behind the stage over the Columbia River Gorge. Doesn't get any better than that. Absolutely best concert ever for me.
Imagine hearing that shit in 1976 we thought the world was about to end. It was awesome 😎
Right On. , , For Real Music ! ! , I'm glad I was one of those " 70's Kid's " . 🎶 " The Best of Time's "🎶 "STYX". 🇺🇸😎💜😊😀" "😂Alway's" , ,. " C🎷icag😎
Yup. Kiss was hot and along came Boston. It was such a great time for music.
We were so lucky....:)
👉 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This channel is what it's all about. Thousands of people of different ages, lifestyles, backgrounds and politics, all "coming together" and enjoying good music. Goes to show, forget what any and all of the politicians and TV News say. We're all friends on this channel. Most of us watching with smiles as we get into the tunes. Mad respect to Lost in Vegas, and each of you reading this and listening.
Absolutely.
This song, especially when combined with the intro is possibly the most iconic rock song of the 70's.
You guys made me smile like 10 times during this reaction.
I freaking love Boston!! Great choice!! Classic!! Love it!!
RIP Brad Delp 1951-2007.
Depression and loneliness suck.
Listen to the rest of this album and definitely check out their second
This was a great time in life, Boston, foreigner, cheap trick, ac-dc, bto, zz top, Elo...
Totally agree👍👍👍
Concur! Mid to Late 70s was Epic!
Honestly need to do a review of this album. It’s beautiful. My grandpa loved them, passed it down to my dad, and on to me. GENERATIONAL
Brad Delp's voice was amazing. RIP.
Underrated lead singer, More Than A Feeling is a ridiculously hard song.
My uncle turned me on to Boston when they first came out! He passed away three days ago and I wasn't there , so I had my mother play their music for him to let him know I was there with him in spirit. Great band, GREAT Uncle !! I a tribute my love of music to both.
So very sorry about your loss. And how wonderful that his journey home was so special with the help of Boston
This music is timeless. This 70-year-old grandma has this album. A favorite.
I remember buying this album like it was yesterday. Hadn’t heard a song, bought it for the album cover. Best purchase ever circa 1976. Love your channel guys! 👍🏼
This whole album is one of the best recordings of produced sounds ever. Big props to Tom Schultz.
Recorded in his basement! Who needs Abbey road, eh?
And EVERY SONG on this album still receives airplay. You can't say that about many albums. Incredible stuff.
Didn't one of Boston's albums win awards for the "sound"? The way it was produced?
Recorded in his basement
Boston PEACE OF MIND. The vocals when he actually runs his way up to the high "People livin' in competition" gives me goosebumps every time
All I want is to have my piece of mind😁
HELL YEAH. Best Boston song imo
"He" is guitarist/ singer Tom Shulz. (sp?)
Yes, this is one of their most iconic of their hits. It's a super dope song. Badass guitar layering, the engineering was sick, and the songwriting (as usual) was top notch.
The entire song gives me goosebumps. This album is one of the all time greats
My favorite band of all time. Partied lots to this group back in the day. Every song on this album is fantastic. LOVE Boston!!! They were a unique sound.
Do yourselves a favor and listen to every song on that whole album in order. It is a wonderful experience.
Brad Delp had one of the best voices ever...RIP
Did he take his own life a few years ago? One of my favorite bands.....ever.
Boston has one of the most unlikely origin stories. This is off of their debut album. For this album, the band seemingly appeared out of nowhere and dropped an incredible set of classic singles. Pretty much every song off the debut is worth listening to. I think "More than a Feeling" is one of the greatest singles of all time. Boston's debut held the record as the best selling debut album for years. Gn'R finally broke the record with Appetite. Boston was founded by Tom Scholz, an MIT graduate who was passionate about music but was working for Polaroid as an engineer. Scholz's friend Brad Delp, the vocalist in Boston, convinced him to pull together some demos. The result was this album. I think Scholz plays every instrument on the album with the exception of the drums. The album has some of the best production ever, Scholz invented a lot of the guitar effects and recording techniques used. Every part is perfectly played and fitted together like a Swiss watch.
I didn't know they pieced the instrumental together from one guy's playing. Give me a new found appreciation.
Oh yeah, Tom Scholz is an electronics wizard. No other effects, amps, distortion pedals, delays etc would give him the sound he had in his head so he just made all his own stuff, Rockman. Brilliant musician. Brilliant engineer. There’s some videos of him in his studio on TH-cam recreating several Boston songs on the fly. Interesting to watch his process and candidly discuss how he developed all the Rockman gear he used for the albums.
Yes, just Brad doing the vocals, and Tom played all the instruments because it was recorded as demos. Eddie Kramer said it was presented to him as demos to for production, but Eddie told him it was perfect and to release it as is. :)
@@johncogburn2590 This is false. Tom did not play all of the instrument tracks on this record. Barry plays all electric rhythm guitars on Foreplay and Long Time. Barry also plays the lead guitar solo on Long Time. Fran plays bass on Foreplay. The band as pictured on the back of the record played every track on Let Me Take You Home and that song was entirely recorded in an LA studio. Brad even plays acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home.
I also call bull on your claim that producer Eddie Kramer said what you claim. The reason being is when producer John Boylan heard the demo tape tracks, Boylan found that the drum tracks and acoustic instrument tracks were not useable for the record because as Boylan stated, they sounded "amateurish". Tom then hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to teach Tom proper mic technique and how to record acoustic instruments. Tom gives a directive that all drum tracks and all acoustic instrument tracks have to be re-recorded before the record moves forward. All drum tracks except for Rock and Roll Band were played by Sib. Jim Masdea played the drums on Rock and Roll Band.
A good portion of the production work had to be done at Westlake Studios where the record was mixed on an API console by three people-Tom, Boylan and Warren Dewey. Tom did not have the outboard gear (noise gates, parametric eqs, compressors and expanders) necessary to really get the individual tracks where they needed to be and Tom's Dan Flickinger console did not have the capability to handle mixing or producing the tracks.
If you want to do some additional research in to the real story behind this record please read the liner notes to the 2006 Scholz remaster of this record and the interview that producer John Boylan gave in Mix Magazine. Tom has not been the most honest and transparent person when he tells his story and his ego and narcissism have distorted and changed the real story aka the truth dramatically.
You two have quickly become my favorite YT channel. I grew up mostly listening to classic rock, 90s rock, and hip hop. My recommendations are coming soon.
I love how you compared Foreplay to Rush, for the simple reason of the overall sound progressions and talent of the musicianship.
Without a doubt, they are very different groups... Boston appealed to the masses where Rush had more of a following.
Back in the day we'd get really freaking high and blast this; in the car, eyes closed, chill bumps running down the arms. Best intro piece ever in rock music.
Wasn't alive on its release, but I get goose bumps every time I blast this intro!
Smoke a bunch of weed. Boston, Zeppelin and Floyd and you got a great summer afternoon cruising in an old 1970 Buick Skylark convertible
Ditto!!!!!
Ain't that the truth. Always tryn to pump up the car audio to epic levels
Not just for reviews/reactions but for yourselves, I would hardcore recommend you all get this entire first Boston album. It is perfection. The entire thing.
I came to comment that the whole album is just so good. So easy to put it on and just listen through.
One of the greatest debut albums of all time. Every single song was great. Shame they are not in the hall of fame.
You gentlemen made my day, I have been a huge fan of BOSTON (My very 1st Album I ever bought) and I have seen 5 different "youtubers REACT to Foreplay/LONG TIME" and you guys had the best reaction, best commentary, you two looked like you were really having a blast. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (I don't think I've hit "like" & "SUBSCRIBED" faster!)
I've said it before, I'll say it again: You guys have a way of giving me a new appreciation of songs I've heard hundreds of times before and just take for granted. And it even goes for songs you haven't reacted to. I find myself listening to songs as if I'm hearing them through a new set of ears. You're much more than a react channel. You're a GD game changer.
Hero of War by Rise Against.
The album was made with 1 person playing every instrument and 1 singer...they did not even really have a band then it was made in Tom Scholtz basement with Brad Delp coming in later to do the vocals. Tom Scoltz had a master degree from MIT and invented the rockman amplifier to get this distinct sound. Tom Scholtz is a genius.
I thought tom at least got sib for the drums
@@StNick-xd8tx he did!!!
@@jws2 thanks
I never knew that. Wow.
As sarge 1231 stated Tom Shultz did the entire album in his basement as an electrical engineer for I believe Polaroid. He added the vocals with Brad Delp afterwards. He is truly an amazing songwriter and musician. This album was the most inspiring hard rock album of all time.
This is one of my favorite reactions. As a Detroiter who grew up in the 70s and 80s, this type of quality music was our default. I’m glad to see two young guys who can appreciate the level of musicianship that us old folks thought was just the norm.
George I love your reaction…
Takes me back when oldest son had me watch y’all in his living room when y’all first started.
Side note, every song on this album is great.
Also, my son is patreon member. Listening to y’all for a few hours now with drinks.
I am now a subscriber.
This whole ALBUM is essentially "Boston - Greatest Hits". Just about every song on their debut album was amazing!
3rd stage had some good ones
I think this the only rock album where every song was played on the radio
Don't look back is really good.
Believe it or not 3rd Stage got me into Boston. Then I started listening to their earlier stuff. Amanda was a massive hit around ‘85.
Their 2nd & 3rd albums weren't as epic but both had great music. Third Stage, Cool the Engines is hardly known and very much underrated.
Considering this album came out in what, 1976? This album was way ahead of its time. Every track was a hit, the band was just ahead of the game, and I say that knowing such masterpieces by other bands came before it. Delp's vocals, Scholz's guitar and keyboards, the rhythm section, everything was so on point and razor sharp, its insane. You just don't hear music on this level anymore except possibly by the classic rock bands that can still pull it off, and there are not many of those bands left.
I remember liking this as a kid growing up in the 70s, but I did not truly appreciate it until my adult years.
I think it was a rule back then that every rock band had to have an album with a spaceship on the cover.
Feel good Album... Way a head of it's time!!!
This album is a timeless classic. TIMELESS!
Enjoy your reaction videos. Thank you so much!!! I was a sunny, nearly Black girl (still a Black girl) that loved rock. This music is the blues! Love ❤️ this song! Amazing group! Amazing arrangement! I never tire of Boston. But this song is amazing!!
You. Will love Traffic since you enjoy Boston. Traffic hit; “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” Steve Winwood was once with the Spencer Davis Group. Famous 60s song “Give me Some Lov’n”
I LOVE you guys... hearing this stuff for the first time. It's like you came to visit to hear my whole record collection of my youth! Fun fact: Tom Scholz recorded that whole album in his basement with his own equipment! This was the same era that the Cars came out with their groundbreaking album too! My mom helped the Cars repair one of their amps while she was working as an electronics technician for DEC or Digital Equipment Corporation right before they came out with their first album in Boston.
ROUNDABOUT!!
THAT'S GOT TO BE YOUR NEXT CLASSIC ROCK 😙😙🎶🎵🎵
Yes ?
I’ve been on a Yes kick also .. I like Southside of the Sky
I've Seen All Good People
@@JasonYoast starship trooper for me, actually it gets my baby to sleep. Check out this for a cover th-cam.com/video/LhCHQPricjo/w-d-xo.html
One of these days they have to!! I know they have to have seen our comments several times by now.
This here is what I love about this channel. I grew up with this song. Heard it 1000 times.. I've played it in cover bands. But to watch two guys who've never really listened to it before being blown away by it gives me a new found appreciation for it.
I could not have said it better myself!!!!
Couldn't have said it better! I love watching someone get off on stuff I have for years! Great channel!
Ya know its kind of like a confirmation of what you already knew and it feels good to know that you were right!!! ;-)
Agreed!
Thank you for expressing what I could not.
What I am liking about your videos that I have seen is watching free-thinking younger folks not only reacting to the music in the same way I reacted to it when I was a teenager, but also analyzing the musicianship & lyricism of the pieces. I think I will find some of your videos for songs I haven't listened to so I can open my mind to something different! Thanks for what you do! Peace, love & happiness!
Coming of age (16) in 1976 I won't forget driving around in my 1972 Skylark with my Clarion stereo and Craig speakers cranking this song up everytime it came on the radio!!!!
The whole album is a masterpiece.
Album cover great too!
Tom Scholz was a fuckin production genius. The music and songwriting is incredible, but the most incredible thing about Boston, especially this album is the production. NOBODY heard anything so well produced and the quality of the recordings hold up as much today as when they first came out, unbelievable. Not to mention he built all the production equipment himself and it wasn't even done in some super high end recording studio. I had to give him props, just for anyone who doesn't know.
I'm a musician, a bass player and I've done a decent amount of session work, recording on people's tracks and what not, and anyone I know who is into production/engineering sees Tom Schulz as a legend, and he is. He is and will always be HIGHLY respected in the music industry.
He's just the best. The fact that literally EVERY guitarist in the 80s at least tried some of his Rockman gear is a testament to how much respect he got. Nothing shows respect like the voting with your dollars lol.
He is a genius
The Rockman, any guitarist from that era knows that name. True genius ahead of his time. No other could ever replicate that 80's sound.
Absolutey right one of the greatest
He literally is a genius. Went to M.I.T.
"Oooo that bass!" (at about 2:30) that was a clavinet. Awesome sounding keyboard instrument.
When i hear musicians like this, i feel the best has passed us by. Amazing
Classic rock from the sixties,seventies and 80s will never happen again.Those were the decades of great rock music!
When I saw Boston on the Patreon site, I had two simultaneous thoughts. "Wow, how have they not done Boston yet" and "George is going to love this". You could pick literally any other song on this album and it's just as good. Even though they aren't my favorite band or anything, this album is undeniable!
There's something crazy awesome about watching you guys experience this song for the first time! I couldn't stop smiling through the whole playthrough! Thank you!!
I feel the same way. It's like they are from another planet or something. Like maybe the first time someone sees the ocean or something.
Yeah, brings a smile to my heart. Channels like this open everyone up to different cultures. It's like having a mate across the world and showing them something for the first time. So good
I've watched a good % of Lost in Vegas videos and have become a fan. It's upbeat with humor, yet keeping it classy by refraining from negativity. Ryan & George give great perspective with attitude that are worthy of respect. This song has to be my favorite George reaction so far. And my favorite Ryan reaction is to Metallica's song "one". To witness the genuine reaction of pure musical joy as it sweeps over someone when experiencing a song for the first time is truly special. Very entertaining to us viewers and keeps us coming back for more.
This is one of my favourite songs from a great band! This is definitely a form of progressive rock. Some may call it Art Rock.
this channel is the shit... i have so much fun watching you guys... i watch one a day like i'm taking my vitamins
I've got to keep on chasing that dream..........though I may never find it....
RIP Brad Delp, the amazing vocalist for the best band from Boston ever!!!
No one should cover Brad Delp songs. Ever. Just let them be.
Amen to that.
a man I'll never be.
Boston is a great band but the best band from Boston ever is Aerosmith.
The best singer of Rock RIP Brad Delp.
Hell yea
I just love his voice. Rest in peace Brad 🙏🙏🙏
One of my favorites.
Im a 50 year old mom watching you guys enjoy the music i loved in high school .... thanks for bringing me back in time!!
You guys got me thinking about why no one had mentioned this before and I think I know why at least for me. The classic rock stations at the time played the exact same 25 songs in a row 24/7 of which this song was a part of. When you hear the same thing over and over it looses it's TRUE worth until you are sick and tired of it which is what happened unfortunately. I called it killing a song. You guys should do "Smoking' by them. Now it's been so long it is fresh to me again so thank you for that!
Brad delp vocally was amazing on this track. RIP Brad Delp. Thanks guys for the introduction going to look into more Boston.
This is pretty much the highlight. Their debut is one of the best debuts ever but beyond that not so much!
I recon they have quite a few more golden nuggets other than whats on the debut album. Even then.. one of the best debut albums ever is a record everyone must have!
@@jgribhamnz Oh absolutely, it's a must for any record collection.
Third stage was an awesome record
@@essten94 Amanda was cool but I just didn't get that same instant amazing feeling that the debut gives you.
Sweet reaction! Y'all should check out some more old school proggish bands. Styx - Renegade.. Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son... YES- Roundabout
Definitely styx-Renegade
Definitely! I miss old school prog rock.
I second all 3 of those suggestions.
Matt Strand YES! Renegade and Carry on Wayward Son would be epic for them to hear!! Anything by Styx!
They would get too hyped over Roundabout
I remember hearing this for the first time at a friends house. I was in like 7th grade. It made my body tingle. Its so cool to see others share music.
You guys are so accurate with your description of the harmonies and musicianship. I know a lot about their story, I wish you did, tremendous story. But, thank you!
This is one of those GOAT albums every song is a hit
Brad Delp had one of the best voices in history!
"I'm a lonely soul" RIP Brad Delp
Glad you like Boston. I'm 43 Boston has always my favorite band.
I love seeing you guys react to the soundtrack of my high school life!! You love our favorite music like we did!! So many amazing bands in the 70s and I love Boston ❤. Thank you for what ya'll do ❤❤
Boston is an outstanding band! RIP to Brad Delp one of the best vocalist
So sad about Brad, and also the loss of Sib Hashian, the drummer in 2017.
Listening to Boston feels like you're flying a spaceship right into the sun
In a good way :p ha!
Yes. I love a lot of bands and songs but BOSTON lifted me to insane emotional joy.
I rarely leave comments on TH-cam, though I spend a great deal of time here. I've been watching your classic rock review videos, and I'm really having a blast watching and hearing your takes on some of these songs I grew up with. You two are really open to anything and great content creators. Keep up the great work!
Watching you guys bug out and love my favorite rock songs really make me happy!
Keep it up...thank you!
Boston are epic. Definitely ahead of their time. This album specifically is legendary, back to back.
Boston was pretty much Tom Scholz recording all of the music with Brad Delp singing. He recorded it in his basement and needed to put a band together to be able to sell it and get the band signed. Just shows the genius of Tom who went to MIT and developed the Rockman.
Did Tom play the keyboards too.
I was pretty much starting out playing guitst when this album came out.
The production and arrangememt is amazing, especially considering how homemade it all is. Sholz's guitar sound and signal chain is all his own creation too. ALL PRE-DIGITAL!!!
Its just mind boggling.
Seeing these guys encounter it this way, fully for their first time, really takes me back.
My favorite musical experiences are this kind, where you get blown over. Its a wonderful naive feeling.
You cant really be ready for it.
That's an awesome thing.
Great video, guys!
Tom played everything on this album and recorded and put it all together in his home studio.But in order to sell it to the record companies he had to put an actual band together.Tom is a genius,two degrees from MIT and inventor of the rockman amplifier
@@williamknell864 yes...anytime you heard organ on any song it was him. He made a killing on the Rockman Amp that was basically a small box the size of a "walkman" where you could get the gain of a full amp without the size of one. They later made Rockamn units so bands could play live with the same effect. He ended up selling it at one point...
The sheer joy of watching you both react to one of my favorite songs of all time has easily earned you a subscription! Keep on rockin', boys! And keep on with Boston by checking out "Don't Look Back!" EPIC!
It's so great watching you kids discovering and enjoying the best of songs from my teen years. People my age are so lucky when it come to music.
One of the greatest albums ever in rock history.
“More Than A Feeling” by Boston should be next.
All recordings were made in Tom Scholz home and all instruments were played by Tom Scholz and he had Brad Delp come in for the vocals. The album was submitted to the record company and then he had to create a band to go on tour.
That blew my mind when I found out !
That's not entirely true. He played most of them, but give credit where it's due. Sib Hashian & Jim Masdea played ALL the album drum tracks. Barry Goudreau (gtr) played on it & laid down his own solos. Fran Sheehan played some of the bass tracks. And Brad Delp co-wrote Smokin' & all of "Let Me Take U Home Tonight". Tom is no doubt a genius & a great songwriter/musician, but Boston NEVER would've had their "sound" without ALL those guys TOGETHER. Speaking as a musician myself, it's never a one man show...
w1ll3rd All of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan in a big name LA studio. All of the tracks for Let Me Take You Home were recorded by the band as pictured on back of the record in a major big name studio in LA. The record was mixed in a big name studio in LA. Tom knew and played in bands with Barry Goodreau for years before the 1976 Boston debut album was recorded. Barry introduced Brad to Tom years before this record was ever made. At that time Brad was Barry's brother in law. Barry plays guitar on multiple cuts on the record and the amazing solo on Long Time is definitely Barry. You will not find a performance of Tom playing the solo on long time. All of the drum tracks on the record were played by Sib Hashian except for Rock and Roll Band and that track was played by long time friend of Tom's Jim Masdea. Fran Sheehan plays bass on Foreplay. Brad plays acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home. Tom has a long demonstrated pattern of either omitting the contributions of others or greatly diminishing them.
HonestYou pulling our legs??
I love your reactions, it's how I feel when I hear them too. Rest in peace, Brad Delp.
Boston is my all time favorite band (as well as Earth, Wind & Fire) Thank you for bringing back memories of my high school years! Class of 1980
The entire debut album rocks from start to finish, not a bad song on the entire album.
I came down here to post this
I approve this message
"Let Me Take You Home Tonight" was always the one song that was kind of a drag IMO. EVERY other song is great though.
And that's where you black light bong hit and kick back with this entire album an... feel it!!
Listen to "hitch a ride" just as good. My favorite album of all time
