Boston was so up-beat and full of positive messages. ‘70’s were music’s best decade, all around. Pick a genre, and the ‘70’s encapsulated the very best of it. ✌️
We knew it was a masterpiece when it came out ❤. So glad you both enjoyed it that much! Yes, it showed on your face ❤. Listen to the rest of the album 🔥🚒🔥
The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were full of amazing music brought to us by an incredible variety of artists and groups ......Boston definitely among them. We could hardly change the channel without finding a GREAT song We were spoiled.
I was 15 in 1976 when this album came out. It is one of the best rock albums of all time! The sound this band created was just incredible for that time. Every song is a gem! This was mixed and put together in Tom Sholtz's basement. He is an MIT graduate in sound engineering. A lot of the special effects you hear he created using guitars and old speakers etc. It's an iconic band and album from Boston. RIP Brad Delp. One of the greatest singers ever! And yes, they were awesome live!
I was also 15 in 1976 stood in line for this cassette, I could only drive my car with my older brother in my car, I had a set of amplified Mind Blower speakers and got pulled over several times for disturbing the peace but never got a ticket. Boston was my favorite group and still is.
@Retromolarman this record, the Boston debut record was mixed at Westlake Studios in LA by producer John Boylan, engineer Warren Dewey and Tom. Toms bachelors and masters degrees from MIT are in mechanical engineering.
There's no such thing as a "bad" song on this album. It pretty much set the standard for "#1 with a bullet" and remains one of the best selling albums of all time
One of the Greatest bands ever Boston awesome reaction guys.✌❤ I grew up with these bands as a teenager so much fun. Awesome rock 'n' roll in the 70s and early 80s. ✌🤘👋😎
When this first came out there would be at least a dozen cars in the High School parking lot cranking this. As we didn't have today's technology, we had to figure out how to make our cars the loudest, best sounding stereos out there. This is the album that you listened to while cruisin', and boozin'.
This takes me straight back to my junior year in higher school when this came out. All of these years later and it still holds up as a righteous banger! Excellent song choice today y’all!
I failed a book report I was supposed to do with a kid named Bill. I went over to his house to work on it, he had just purchased this album, the report didn’t get done. Neither of us read the book anyway.
Boston had such a novel sound when they first hit in 1976. I remember them blowing the crappy Sharp 6x9 speakers out of my 71 Camaro SS. I had to upgrade to a set of Cerwin Vega's to get the full Boston effect. Then to top it off I saw them live in January of 1977 at the Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida with Sammy Hagar the red rocker as their opening act. Good times!
Leaving this cuz you gotta know, 'More Than A Feeling' is just about my all-time favorite song ever. As good as Boston is (was), it doesn't get much better than that. Born in '65, rock on, Kids!
A very great song, and I must say, you two are the most beautiful couple on youtube, sparkling personalities, compassionate, you are lovers of love and as a man, I must say Mel is such a beautiful woman. You are a blessed man Shawn!
Shawn & Mel this song is from their debut album. Every song on this album got played on the radio. It is one of if not the best selling debut album in history. And believe it or not they have NOT been inducted in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame yet. The lead guitarist Tom Scholz recorded most of the album in his basement studio , playing all instruments except drums & vocals. Brad Delps vocals were recorded in L. A.. You guys should react to this entire album.
Tom didn't play all the instruments on the album except drums. He did on about two thirds of the album. On this song Fran Sheehan plays bass on the "Foreplay" section and Barry Goudreau plays on the three guitar solos in the "Longtime" part. All the recording and mixing was done with the supervision of John Boylan, who did give Tom pretty much free range to do what he wanted (and co-producing credit) but jumped in when necessary, even flying out a recording engineer in from LA to Tom's basement when he wasn't recording the acoustic guitar properly. "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" was recorded in a Los Angeles studio, as well as Brad Delp's vocals and the Drums were also re-recorded in L.A.. The final mixing was also done in a studio in L.A..
@@vickiconley3638 As of Sept 2 , 2022 they are not. Just read the article that was published on that date stating their exclusion. Foreigner hasn't been inducted either yet modern day hip hop acts are being inducted. Makes no sense.
@@ptournas Producer John Boylan hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to go to Toms studio to teach him how to record acoustic instruments properly and proper mic technique. Boylan is on record in Mix Magazine saying that Toms drum tracks on the demo sounded "amateurish" and this was the reason why Boylan sent Grupp to tutor Tom. Boylan did as you allude to have Tom re-record all acoustic instrument tracks which included acoustic guitars and drums. There is no record of Sibs drum tracks being recorded anywhere but in Toms home studio. The same would hold true for the one track that Jim Masdea played drums on as well.
Our baby boomer generation had the best music Ever! Growing up in the 60's and 70's was awesome, great music, bell bottoms, make love not war generation. Thank you for bringing back some great memories with your reaction video's. Peace out✌️
Saw Boston 7 times starting in 1976 my sophomore year at Ohio State when I was 19 years old. This debut album is the best ever for an American Band. Best wishes
Yep, used to go to my room when my mom and sis tried to get me to the sorority route. Turned it up to 10 and sang at the top of my lungs. Immature? Yes but oh so satisfying
Experiencing Boston for the first time transported us to a place we hadn't been before. A debut album like no other. Thanks for the wonderful reaction and for taking us back. I hope at some point you can react to "Peace Of Mind."
RIP BRAD DELP! This album is an absolute *masterpiece* from start to finish. It's one of the rarest kind of records; every song is a BANGER, and you can press play and listen front to back and be in *MUSICAL HEAVEN!!* LOVE to you both ❤❤
Hey, have you all noticed the Boston spaceship on the album cover is actually a guitar? Check out" Smokin " from BOSTON for some really good fast rock. You can't go wrong with this band !
No he didn't. He wrote them. He recorded them in his basement studio under the supervision of producer John Boylan, who did give him most control and co- producing credits, but did fly in a recording engineer to help with recording the acoustic guitar. All Brad's vocals were done in Los Angeles, the drums were re-recorded there, and the full song "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" was recorded there. The final mix was also done in Los Angeles.
Outstanding! Love the song... love the reaction (and appreciation of the music). I humbly request you check out Boston - Smokin. These are the songs I grew up with and I love that you are so enjoying them.
Yesss mercy yesss my all time favorite album and favorite rock band. I was 9 yrs old when this came out but jammed to it with older siblings and still jamming with it.
U guys have great reactions. I herd mel tell the world about her back groung and how she pretty much was a product of her environment . I think its fantastic u guys are open now to great bands makecu feel good bands R. I. p Bradly Delp. Killer voice. Not in rock n roll hall of fame. But yet madonna us. U kiddin me.
Love shines from the two of you. Not just for each other but agape as well. I enjoy watching your reactions to the classic rock I listened to as a teenager. Please consider the song Funk 49 by the James Gang or We’re An American Band by Grand Funk. ✌️❤️
I can't remember just how many concerts I / we went to in the late 60.s and 70's - sometimes 3 a week. Good job. Money to spend. Friends to hang around with. Pretty girls everywhere and SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSIC FROM SOME OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS EVER! You missed out on a wonderful era, but enjoy the replays.
Ahhhh, the vocal stylings of Mr. Bradley Delp and the musical genius of Tom Schultz. Add in some pretty good musicians and you get one of the greatest debut albums in the history of music, more than 17 million copies sold! That intro guitar warming you up was the "Foreplay"! There is not a bad track on this entire album. I highly recommend "More Than A Feelin'" and "Peace Of Mind" if you haven't heard them.
Had this album on 8 track ......decades ago ....and as others have posted .....this is album where every tune is a keeper ...Had albums / 8 tracks ......Chicago , great group ....but their albums generally contained perhaps 2-3 good songs [ just my opinion ] .
Its been such a long time since I first heard this in 1976 as a Sophomore in HS. It hasn't lost any groove in all them years. Bought the CD to play in my 75 Corvette with the T-tops off. Crank it Up!

The full album is an absolute cracker from start to finish.
One of the best albums of all time!
Every song on this album is a classic and one hell of an album for their very first
I believe Tom Scholz played/recorded all of the instrumental tracks on that album in his basement.

Boston was so up-beat and full of positive messages. ‘70’s were music’s best decade, all around. Pick a genre, and the ‘70’s encapsulated the very best of it. ✌️
Agree 100%!
And then the lead singer killed himself😢... Tears of a clown
Absolutely. I have a soft spot for the 80s, when I was a teen, but the 70s had it all, and it was soooooo good.
Totally agree!
I was teen in the 80s but we use to listen to all the bands from the 70s along with our hair bands.
Out of all of Boston's great songs, this is their best. This is the greatest debut album of all time. It rocks from start to finish!
Yes! Every song is a banger!
I completely agree!
It’s all the very first song!
Ooooo, More Than a Feeling, is right there.
Without question!
One of the best debut albums of all time. I suggest listening to the whole album start to finish.
We knew it was a masterpiece when it came out ❤. So glad you both enjoyed it that much! Yes, it showed on your face ❤. Listen to the rest of the album 🔥🚒🔥
i remember you saying that you were way ahead of your time,
Yes we did
Yes, we knew indeed exactly what were dealing with!
The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were full of amazing music brought to us by an incredible variety of artists and groups ......Boston definitely among them.
We could hardly change the channel without finding a GREAT song

Same here! 15 in ‘76!! Darn, we were some lucky kids but I think we knew it too!!
Very cool@@caesar1295
47 years later and this song still ROCKS like no other!!! Probably heard this a thousand times and don't mind hearing it another thousand....
The power of this album has never been matched
There's no such thing as a "bad" song on this album. It pretty much set the standard for "#1 with a bullet" and remains one of the best selling albums of all time
One of the Greatest bands ever Boston awesome reaction guys.✌❤ I grew up with these bands as a teenager so much fun. Awesome rock 'n' roll in the 70s and early 80s. ✌🤘👋😎
Rock on!
Sad part is, no bands are making music like this anymore...............
They are, they just don't make charts because music labels aren't pushing it anymore.
Do next from them these : "Don't look back", "Amanda", "I need your love", "Livin' for you", "Smokin", "Peace of mind" & "A man I'll never be"
Boston....."Rock and Roll Band"
Great song!!!
You can't go wrong with Boston. One of the best bands EVER!!! IMO🥰

Impossible, this came out my freshman year in high school....🤔😉
This entire album is pure gold baby, pure gold!
music of my teenage years. wow how lucky was i

Boston is one of the best bands of all time,, hope you can listen to more of the many many great Boston songs!!
Peace of Mind is a great one too
Leaving this cuz you gotta know, 'More Than A Feeling' is just about my all-time favorite song ever. As good as Boston is (was), it doesn't get much better than that. Born in '65, rock on, Kids!
From your fan in Boston (the city), I love to see you folks enjoying Boston (the band). Rock on, you beautiful people!

I believe they are in the RnR Hall of Fame. Love this album since High School.

Our baby boomer generation had the best music Ever! Growing up in the 60's and 70's was awesome, great music, bell bottoms, make love not war generation. Thank you for bringing back some great memories with your reaction video's. Peace out✌️
Boomer? This is Gen X.
I was a junior in High School when this song played for the first time on the radio and it blew my mind!!
THANK GOD for the 70's!! Blessed to have had this music and much more to grow up on!!❤
I had the pleasure of seeing them live and perform this! Yes absolutely jaw dropping awesome!
i remember seeing you at that show what a night,
This piece of music is HIGHLY regarded by we classic rock fans!
Saw Boston 7 times starting in 1976 my sophomore year at Ohio State when I was 19 years old. This debut album is the best ever for an American Band. Best wishes
That’s why it’s called “Foreplay”.😊
You two are FANTASTIC!
Keep up the great channel!
Kudos!
Can't believe ya'll ain't heard this yet. Well I can.. Yea I'm Southern. Glad to be a 70 girl. Love Ya'll.
This song is definitely Boston's masterpiece ✌️
That entire album is a masterpiece!
I feel so blessed that I grew up during the 70s.
Thanks guys for keeping it going!
This song has been in my top 10 best rock songs ever. It will never leave
"I've got to keep on chasing that dream, though I may never find it. I'm always just behind it". Brilliant!
Masterpiece is CORRECT my friend. And this was from almost FIFTY years ago!!!! GREATNESS stands the test of time. 👍😊👍😊
Wow, thanks
I was a Sophomore in HS when this album came out, everybody had it.
Arguably the best debut album ever.
Always Love you guys…so much heart and unity together
Piece Of Mind is another song on their first famous debut album!!
Yep, used to go to my room when my mom and sis tried to get me to the sorority route. Turned it up to 10 and sang at the top of my lungs. Immature? Yes but oh so satisfying
I got to see them live 3 times and it was something to behold! They sounded just as good live!
I agree. You should see it live!!!!
RIP Brad Delp- the best rock singer of all time and it ain’t even close
Amen to that. He was the best
just watched all your Boston reactions. Priceless!!! Love watching people enjoy their music for the first time.
When I clean my house. I put on Boston. They are feel good music.
Experiencing Boston for the first time transported us to a place we hadn't been before. A debut album like no other. Thanks for the wonderful reaction and for taking us back. I hope at some point you can react to "Peace Of Mind."
Did you notice the space ships are upside down guitars? Great album art
RIP BRAD DELP! This album is an absolute *masterpiece* from start to finish. It's one of the rarest kind of records; every song is a BANGER, and you can press play and listen front to back and be in *MUSICAL HEAVEN!!* LOVE to you both ❤❤
They're outrageous, yes!
This is an AMAZING track. What a great, feelin' good song.
Hey, have you all noticed the Boston spaceship on the album cover is actually a guitar?
Check out" Smokin " from BOSTON for some really good fast rock. You can't go wrong with this band !
the dude wrote, produced, mixed and played all the instruments in his basement for the whole album....before he put a band together and went out live.
No he didn't. He wrote them. He recorded them in his basement studio under the supervision of producer John Boylan, who did give him most control and co- producing credits, but did fly in a recording engineer to help with recording the acoustic guitar. All Brad's vocals were done in Los Angeles, the drums were re-recorded there, and the full song "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" was recorded there. The final mix was also done in Los Angeles.
@@ptournas I was close. It’s been a minute and the 70s were a little foggy lol.
That was a fun reaction. I was jamming along with you.
Outstanding! Love the song... love the reaction (and appreciation of the music). I humbly request you check out Boston - Smokin. These are the songs I grew up with and I love that you are so enjoying them.
Me too! Nothin’ beats 70s classic rock!
This one takes me to church every time with that awesome Hammond Organ! Whoo!
Y’all are the cutest thing! I love that y’all so very much get into the music. Your joy is infectious!
Brings Back great memories!
Absolute jam! Summertime party jam. Way to go!
Great song!
Thankyou, so glad to see the joy and appreciation.!!
Your reaction is what I feel every time I hear this! It is a masterpiece!
Saw these guys in my younger days and yes.... this sounded awesome live!!!! Fun Fact: The Rock is married to the drummer's daughter.
Yesss mercy yesss my all time favorite album and favorite rock band. I was 9 yrs old when this came out but jammed to it with older siblings and still jamming with it.
This song live really was powerful
Shawn and Mel enjoying the Foreplay 😂
So glad new generation appreciating this music for the first time. It's nice to see. Good music is good music.
Man!!! Boston was/is something special!!! Love them!!!
I was lucky enough to have seen them live in the mid 70s. they were fantastic.
R.I.P. Brad , Angelic voice.
Sometimes I rock out to this song and feeling happy. But other times, I get very emotional and cry. I don't know why.
I used to try and time the effect of my last hit in this intro. If I got it right...I'm traveling into space with them!
I just love watching you guys! Your so awesome!! Like everyone said whole album is amazing!
U guys have great reactions. I herd mel tell the world about her back groung and how she pretty much was a product of her environment . I think its fantastic u guys are open now to great bands makecu feel good bands R. I. p Bradly Delp. Killer voice. Not in rock n roll hall of fame. But yet madonna us. U kiddin me.
This song was played at my high school graduation in 1983! ❤️ Love your reactions.
It's easy to understand why once you have the best music given to you as a child, you need no more. 60s and 70s FOREVER!!
One of the best rock songs ever!!
Just want to say I love you guys. Keep diggin' in the classic rock! Yesssss. Thank you.
Love shines from the two of you. Not just for each other but agape as well. I enjoy watching your reactions to the classic rock I listened to as a teenager. Please consider the song Funk 49 by the James Gang or We’re An American Band by Grand Funk. ✌️❤️
You guys are great! I love how you are open to all kinds of music! ✌
Love em so powerful great
Yaaaassss! Thank y'all for loving great timeless music!! Love to watch y'all!!!
This song takes me back to the 70's with my brother,sister,and mom,when we lived in Chicago 1975-1979❤🎉🙌😎🙏♥️🎉
Maybe the greatest anthemic rock n roll song ever but shout outs to Double Vision by Foreigner
I’m always amazed to find out that there are grown adults who don’t know a lot of this music, but of course it was before their time
This was a fun throwback to 9th grade for me. It was great to see that you enjoyed it so much. I really admire this open minded trip you are on!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw them in concert and it was the best! Tom Scholz is a genius (literally-MIT engineer) and Brad Delp's (RIP) voice is flawless.
I can't remember just how many concerts I / we went to in the late 60.s and 70's - sometimes 3 a week. Good job. Money to spend. Friends to hang around with. Pretty girls everywhere and SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSIC FROM SOME OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS EVER! You missed out on a wonderful era, but enjoy the replays.
Love you guys. Keep reacting. I'm an old dude, born in '60. This music is the soundtrack of my youth (graduated '78) Love what you do.
Ahhhh, the vocal stylings of Mr. Bradley Delp and the musical genius of Tom Schultz. Add in some pretty good musicians and you get one of the greatest debut albums in the history of music, more than 17 million copies sold!
That intro guitar warming you up was the "Foreplay"!
There is not a bad track on this entire album. I highly recommend "More Than A Feelin'" and "Peace Of Mind" if you haven't heard them.
Had this album on 8 track ......decades ago ....and as others have posted .....this is album where every tune is a keeper ...Had albums / 8 tracks ......Chicago , great group ....but their albums generally contained perhaps 2-3 good songs [ just my opinion ] .
One of the greatest air guitar anthems of all time. Boston was beyond special.
Its been such a long time since I first heard this in 1976 as a Sophomore in HS. It hasn't lost any groove in all them years. Bought the CD to play in my 75 Corvette with the T-tops off. Crank it Up!
I did see this live!!!! So damn amazing! I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face!!!!! 🙂
At parties when this song came on, it got cranked up.
Saw this live! One of THE BEST concerts I have ever been to. These guys were awesome
I've seen Boston 13 times every show I'll never forget
