And this comment is wonderfully touching😭 I missed those years. I was about 6...we had 2 vinyls of Boston Album. If only we can go back in those days ❤️🤟🤟🤟🤟
Check out the yt video by "The Charismatic Voice" She does an analysis of Brad that really extols his ability. Also "The Professor of Rock" has a video and he names Brad as THE BEST vocalist of the 70's.
I played in garage bands and wanted SO BAD to do these songs. Just didn't have the cheops that he did, and was unwilling to "tune down"! Amazing that he hits em live!
Ehhh. Might want to do a 20 second TH-cam search. There are TONS of cover bands that destroy Boston. Sorry to burst that bubble of delusion. They were a great studio band. But LIVE? As witnessed in this live show. The vocals were awful. Pitch and falsetto vocals were horrible.
+tjerwin1 Don't sound so apologetic. It was an awesome time to have been there, I wouldn't have missed it for the world! We were lucky to be subjected to this, this is real music :):)
+tjerwin1 I was born in 60 too. Back then they really played good music because they really worked hard to be able to play good, now it's just a bunch of noisy cords.
+apfelprincess45 awful lot of opinions floating around on here. Sure, this time produced some great music but it's not 'real music' just because you say it is. I hate the crap on the radio as much as the next person. There is still great music being produced now. Just need to look harder for it. It's not the mainstream anymore. :( Take care.
+tjerwin1 You and me both After losing David Bowie, I quite often find myself in a nostalgic mood. More often than not, I end up listening to the music that has given me the most pleasure and naturally has the most memories associated with it - stuff from this era
Man, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve just said “screw it,” took a drive and blasted my favorite Boston songs, hell, I even took one tonight. This band means so much to me; this band has helped me through college for the past 2 years. It might sound silly to some, however, these songs have truly helped me get through some of the darkest and depressing days. If there was one dead person I could ever meet, it would honestly be Brad. Yeah, he died when I was a kid, but honestly this dude, through his songs, has been like a “best friend” for me for the past few years. Love ya, man!
I couldn't agree more I have gone through depression 3 times in my life and this song along with so many others from this era just snapped me back into reality along with support from my 👪 family.
I was just a little boy in the 70s... then suffered 2 head injuries in the mid 80s... When I awoke from my coma, I didn't even know how old I was but there are still a few things that haven't faded from my mind: I'm walking through the room when the cable music station my mother was listening to played those couple distinctive notes on an acoustic guitar.... I stopped dead in my tracks! I looked to my mother and told her, "Cat's in the Cradle. Harry Chapin... N-n-n-nineteen-seventy-four!" There was a pause as my mother hit the info button on the remote control.... "Yeah! And you suffer memory problems!" she said. She and I both laughed. :-) More recently; father's flippin' channels and I hear a couple other distinctive notes on a guitar. I spoke up, "Pete Townsend /Roger Daltrey, The Who -- "Behind Blue Eyes"... N-n-n-nineteen, seventy-two!" My father was silent for a moment while he hit the info button to check me... "But Jeffrey! You weren't even born yet!" I chuckled before I reminded him that "Yeah, I was three-years-old..." My father replied from the next room, "But still!" I smiled and told him "Well, I might have been stoned all through the 80s... but that's not to say that I didn't PAY ATTENTION!" (He and I laughed and laughed after that one!) :-D
Back in the 90's I worked as an amp tech at a regional music store chain in New England and a Yamaha 12 string came into the guitar repair shop which was the next room over from where I was. No big deal until I heard one of the guitar tech playing the intro to this song on it. Curious (and because I loved Boston) I went into the shop to listen. I told him it sounded just like the original recording of More Than a Feeling. He laughed and he said, "It should...this is the guitar that was used for that recording!". Holy Crap! He let me play it and now I can say I have played the guitar that opened that song...Pretty cool stuff!
This band was such such a different thing than the hard rock of the time. Amazing musicianship. Tom.....genius. Brad Delp.....one of the best singers ever. His range was just unbelievable. A great loss.
Between 1983-1987 I played basketball with tom every Tuesday night and Saturday morning in Boston...he's probably 6'4" and had springs in his legs! I had a party for about 30 friends at my condo in Charlestown and Tom was the first to arrive and the last to leave...as humble as they come...spent about 20 mins perusing my record collection....I was too embarrassed to have him sign any albums. But just a really down to earth nice guy.
This band embodied the hard rock of the late 70's. Progressive Rock was at it's creative peak and even straight ahead rock bands were borrowing ideas from some of the Prog Rock Giants like Boston and Yes. The 80's came and and Rock went into a down period though it rebounded in the 90's. Still Boston was a cut above most bands of the time.
64 years old, and still get chills too. My brother had an Craig Power Play 8 Track in his car and we would jam on Boston to and from high school every day!
@@kirkharry yeah man. I am 18 year old in 2021 and even I know that our generation plain sucks. I have rejected the stupid cringy modern culture and have fully adapted the old school culture.
These guys have real talent not like this shit today from c-Rap to this new pop trash . Boston kansas ,foghat etc. Were amazing bands with real know how.
I lived in Kentucky when this album came out had some neighbors that had this album and they played it 24 hours a day as loud as they could for Over a week but I still love it
When I first heard the song in 1976-77 I felt nostalgic. Today, I know what I am nostalgic for now when I hear it. The quality of the albums released by rock bands from 76-77 will never be surpassed. So fortunate to have been alive and young at that moment in time.
I have always felt that way. I got into rock and roll with Boston's first album and all the great albums from that time, skynard's one more from the road, Frampton comes alive, areosmith toys in the attic, Steve Miller's book of dreams, foreigner's debut album, I was 9, 10 years old and that music made me learn drums and played in bands from my early teens until my late 20s I totally agree with you, awesome time for rock n roll!!! 🤘🏻✌🏼 🎸
Boston's debut album was an all-killer-no-filler masterpiece. And this song, More Than A Feeling, was the crown jewel of the collecrion of magnificent songs. A feelgood song that never fails to lift my spirits up. 😊
It saddens me to listen to this. Knowing that something like this time in my life will never be duplicated, it is a distant memory that is bittersweet for me.
wildtill9 That's why I listen to so much of the 60's, thru to the 80's. It's because we're living in the end times. And I feel such melancholy and sadness too. I can't even list what's being done to us citizens.
For me as well. It brings me back to much better, less complicated days. I was 9 years old when my brother got this album. Boston, KISS, Rush, etc. I feel very fortunate growing up in the 70’s.
I feel ya when I'm listening to this beloved album it is bittersweet I find myself drifting away to those days when my mom my brothers and many of my friends were still with me ' my kids are grown but thankfully the girl I've always loved still loves me and that's what's up as 60 yrs old is coming on fast
This is called REAL music..... never will there be a 1970s again...the sounds that came out of that decade are unbelieveable. Todays music is complete trash against this gold. Brad Delp also has the voice of an angel, in male form, you can't even describe it's beauty. I have never heard another like it. RIP. He had a rough go of life.
1965-1985 there was some great music made. Then along came the 3 note bass, so called drums and some kind of shit called (c)rap music. I suppose on some Sirius station you can find some good music still, but mainstream totally sucks.
@@indy_go_blue6048 you need to go listen to some of the modern alternative and indie rock, it’s ignorant to say everything both of you just said when there is still amazing music being produced day in day out, i would argue with the introduction of new musical production tools musicianship has only improved and new sounds are being crafted that nobody from older generations ever thought they would hear
@@sanctus_dominus163 Some artists rely on those tools way too much (which I guess means you could ask whether they're actually artists), but people with talent are able to use the tools for superior art. Every era has its quality music and stuff that sucks. You're right, people who say any era's music is/was superior to another are just afraid of growing older
Brad Delp, one of the greatest voices of all time. Saw these guys in St Louis in 1977 I think it was. Absolutely awesome live. RIP Mr Delp, I know first hand of your plight.
I'm sorry you know that first hand....He was a good friend of mine, and I loved him even when he wasn't easy to love. I know you'll understand that statement... God, I miss him! 💔💔
I remember riding with my best friends in college and one owned a bronco and we had the windows rolled down and no one was talking. We were just singing out loud. Omg. What a memory!
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
Damn, this debut album was an absolute MONSTER. Those not around at the time may not fully appreciate it... it was so so good ... exploding on the scene. This opening track, then each and every track, bam bam bam, great stuff.
Any time. I'd go back in the blink of an eye. They can shove the last 40 years, especially the last 25 of them, right up where the sun don't shine. Gimme the time machine, I'm gone, baby !
Boomers where whores more concerned with feelings and personal journeys than the state of our society. Now everyone seems to be a collectivists deprived of individualism or responsibility to be better said Lol... Those were the days.
The sound that this band generated was like no other. I’m a life long Who fan; always will be. But when Boston come on the radio, my radio gets turned up and I enjoy the drive I’m on so much. It’s great to be in motion when listening to Boston.
At 61 years old , I never get tired of this band. More than a feeling is a masterpiece that sounds as fresh today as it did in 1975. And yes, I had such a bad crush on Marianne S. In high school that just added to my love of this song!
You can make an argument that Boston should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame of their first album alone. Maybe the best debut album to come out ever.
This is my wedding song for a reason.... but queen out did Boston for me specifically just because of the level of presentation and performance and creativity. Just my opinion
All eight songs from Boston’s debut album get regular airplay on the radio. Is there any other album whose EVERY song gets airplay? And this was their FIRST album. Incredible.
Very True (I was there). Every song on that album was 1st class and was the soundtrack to my high school years. But then their 2nd album, several years later, was half as good. And then they were gone. "One Hit Wonders", albeit one hit with an entire album.
IKR, totally agree! Their debut album Boston - Boston is incredible. Wore out two cassette tapes in my buddys mustang back in high school. We rocked out to that album hard! lol
I'm from Mexico, I listened to this this song since I was a kid and I still rock with it, incredible performance! Great band, this and peace of mind are great songs both.
Ah my high school years at their best. SO grateful that I got to experience such art in my lifetime. The human race, 100 years from now, will not know what greatness they missed out on.....
When I was in HS in the early 70's, there was NO dominate solidifying band or music!!! So I missed out on what you experienced... But how how could there be dominance 1969-1973??? These were some of the Greatest releases by some of the Greatest bands-- EVER. With that kind of competition... no one could stand out like Boston did. I'm talking in my HS years EPIC releases by The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, ELP, Alice Cooper, Chicago, and Grand Funk Railroad to name a few...
"I looked out this morning and the sun was gone Turned on some music to start my day I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away. " Magic and sadness as I hear this song. RIP Brad.
More Than A Feeling is the first rock song I ever remember hearing in my life at 7 years old in my oldest sister's car on the way to the Beach and Boardwalk in Santa Cruz California.
I never got to go to concerts. My first was Alabama with an older cousin. My parents were so over protective of me. Then they died. I was all alone to fend for myself, knowing nothing, naive. Now I'm living, seeing all the bands that I could only listen to on the radio. I feel like a kid. Thank God for video's. They are timeless treasures.
Sorry about your parents. You've had a tough life, but I'd bet anything you are a strong person who enjoys every minute of life as a result. I know it may be easy for me to say, but hang in there. You certainly have the right attitude. These videos/songs sure are a Godsend. Brings back some wonderful memories of what seemed to be a simpler time gone by. Sounds as though they bring you a lot of happiness as well. I wish you the very best!!!! Stay strong and keep on rocking!!!
@@jasonbroten7956 Well I was writing a reply to you and something happened and "poof" it was gone. :/ Gotta love the internet. I was just saying that I'll bet most ppl who are told that they are strong and strong bcs they "Had" to be. I could have gotten into drugs and drinking but that's not a choice I made. It has taken a toll on my nerves though. I just love Axl and they guys. I'm the type of person who will try to understand someone and why they do what they do, instead of judging them. I have a feeling that you're the same kind of person. I'll be 80 and still rocking to GNR and Axl. His life hasn't been easy either. We Hoosiers are tough!! :)
@@pammie1774 So, you are a Hoosier. I had to respond to that simply because I was born in Indiana (Washington). So technically I am a Hoosier. Thing is we didn't live there very long, and I certainly do not recall any of it. My father worked in the insurance business and when he started out, was forced to move to different places. I guess we even lived in some God forsaken town on the Kansas/Oklahoma border. My mom hated it, and she let it be known she did. Needless to say we moved out of there pretty quickly. That is one place I'm happy to say I don't recall living in. Anyway, we ended up in a very nice suburb of Mpls/St. Paul, MN. Still living in the Twin Cities area and absolutely love it. It didn't hurt that I love hockey and was blessed to have played through college. Anyway, I agree with you in regards to Axl Rose and GNR. Those guys have been through hell and back...….a few times. I'm sure you know, but David Lee Roth is also a Hoosier. Yeah, I'll always love good ol' rock & roll that blows you away. My first concert was KISS with Judas Priest back in 1979. I'm dating myself but hey, I lived through a period of incredible music that I will always love.
IT'S FUNNY HOW A SONG CAN TAKE YOU BACK TO A SIMPLER TIME IN LIFE WHEN YOU CAN SMILE AND THINK HOW LUCKY YOU WERE TO LIVE IN THAT ERA... THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SONGS.
The song, more than any other, defined the 70s for me. It is the song I wake up to every single morning and I love it more every time I hear it. R.I.P. Brad Delp.
Boston - "MORE THAN A FEELING"- Ty for sharing.... I am a MA girl living in a PA world...OMG! So miss hearing this band! They are "wicked" good! It has taken me a long time to re listen to this song ... have to deal with yesterday memories ..yes I miss those days but I know they would want me to not live in the past... & I will always keep them forever safe & in my heart.... They keep me going strong...so this is good I can listen to it now with new meaning!
When this came out you knew this band was headed for superstardom this song can be played over and over and over and over and over and I wouldn't get tired of hearing it RIP Brad
I just say, "I don't always listen to Boston, but when I do, so do my Neighbors" The best band of my youth, I can't even remember how many times we went see them all around New England.❤
This song transports me back in time every time I hear it , back to the swimming pool , a kid with my friends and family , not a care in the world, what could go wrong ?
The guy in the white, short-sleeved shirt w/a pocket protector standing behind the stack of amps = an MIT acoustic engineer, "Tom, do it like this. It'll rock."
Brad Delp had the voice and Tom Scholz had the sound. Two great talents that had great chemistry. The first time I ever heard Boston was their song "More than a Feeling" and I was in awe of this powerful new sound.
I still remember the moment that I realized the "Spaceship" on the cover was an upside-down guitar with the City of Boston in/on it !! I thought it might be one of the coolest album covers of the year ! Much love AND gratitude out to all musicians who struggle and strive to make GREAT TIMELESS ART , both visual and auricular !!!!!!!
Jeffrey Smith he taught me how to play drums......he plays in a musical way. I inherited my brother old 8track tapes. Boston, Kiss, Kansas..........I feel lucky to have had them as my teachers, even if they didn't know.. RIP Sib Hashian, much love and respect to you!!

Right?
Dude. Like pinching my heart.
It real😂ly is a classic album Boston 1
Oh so true 😢
"More Than A Feeling" is one of the most perfectly crafted songs ever recorded. It is beautiful, complex, uplifting, and unique.
Song has everything u could ask and the lyrics are so good to
They were studio tech geniuses
Tom Scholz was a 😊wizard in
The studio
100% agree. Perfect arrangement ❤❤❤❤
is it
Beautiful complex, cousin lov3, well crafted, guitar, chilling vocals
Why isn't this legendary band in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?? They helped define the 70's.
It’s politics. Same with Eddy Money.
Because they helped define the '70s.
And Toto
truly unbelievable
The R&R HoF is a joke compiled of more misses than getting it right. It could and should be so much more.
This man is SOOO underappreciated! A top voice that NO ONE speaks about. Rest In Peace Mr. Brad.
Yes you are so right
Indeed
Yes , unbelievable 👏
Check out the yt video by "The Charismatic Voice" She does an analysis of Brad that really extols his ability. Also "The Professor of Rock" has a video and he names Brad as THE BEST vocalist of the 70's.

Boston is a band that has never had a predecessor and will never have a mimic. They stand alone in their type of rock. And they KILLED it.
Something about those days in the 80’s

Yep back then no one got offended, someone pissed you off you punched them in the face then they became one of your best friends.
I would jump back in a time machine in
A heart beat ....
Amen on that, i would like to do those years over again.
I was born in 1960 and obviously my teen years were subjected to the '70's. To me the best rock music was during that era. I miss it all the time.

Its absolutely criminal that Boston is not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Yeah but Cool and The Gang are in it.
Do need a tick from some hall of fame to be the best band ever!
Yep, still also listening in 2024! Miss those days being a teenager and blasting Boston on my record player. Better time and place for sure.

Swear to god the 70s were just magical for music, we'll never see it again.
Yes, the most magic time, best music an times, bittersweet!
Who knows may be we will see it again.
An amazing time for music, that is for sure. This concert is two days before my 20th birthday. I always loved Boston

I agree, but to me, the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame DIED the very second they inducted Madonna. It became meaningless at that moment.
Have faith look at how many years it took them to put Steve Miller in
You are so right
Who cares about stupid HOF …

This is what real music sounds like, this is legendary!

@ lie
are you kidding? This's even better live..
@ ever played in a band? It's very very hard to reproduce anything close to what you can do in studio at a live concert
@ Ok, in that case can you ellaborate on why not live?
One of the best voices ever. RIP Brad Delp.
Agreed!
Never forget you brad👍
So amazing how he could easily transition from his chest voice to his head voice/ falsetto.
What a talent!!
I agree ....Brad Delp's voice is angelic.
Great singer didn’t sound so good here though
It was more than a feeling....it was life. Great music, great times. God I miss those days

Seems like yesterday.

Soooo true
and the whole thing was recorded in a basement of one man and no band.
I tingle just listening to them..I am a musician and pretty selective..
The best debut album ever.
@Wooley689 *most of it was, the vocals were done at capitol studios, Barry played on foreplay/long time, and scholz didn't play the drums
It saddens me to listen to this. Knowing that something like this time in my life will never be duplicated, it is a distant memory that is bittersweet for me.
wildtill9 That's why I listen to so much of the 60's, thru to the 80's. It's because we're living in the end times. And I feel such melancholy and sadness too. I can't even list what's being done to us citizens.
For me as well. It brings me back to much better, less complicated days. I was 9 years old when my brother got this album. Boston, KISS, Rush, etc. I feel very fortunate growing up in the 70’s.
I feel ya when I'm listening to this beloved album it is bittersweet I find myself drifting away to those days when my mom my brothers and many of my friends were still with me ' my kids are grown but thankfully the girl I've always loved still loves me and that's what's up as 60 yrs old is coming on fast

"When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
Closed my eyes and she slipped away."
My God it was a different life in 1979! Such a great time to be alive!
This is called REAL music..... never will there be a 1970s again...the sounds that came out of that decade are unbelieveable. Todays music is complete trash against this gold. Brad Delp also has the voice of an angel, in male form, you can't even describe it's beauty. I have never heard another like it. RIP. He had a rough go of life.
1965-1985 there was some great music made. Then along came the 3 note bass, so called drums and some kind of shit called (c)rap music. I suppose on some Sirius station you can find some good music still, but mainstream totally sucks.
@@indy_go_blue6048 you need to go listen to some of the modern alternative and indie rock, it’s ignorant to say everything both of you just said when there is still amazing music being produced day in day out, i would argue with the introduction of new musical production tools musicianship has only improved and new sounds are being crafted that nobody from older generations ever thought they would hear
@@sanctus_dominus163 Some artists rely on those tools way too much (which I guess means you could ask whether they're actually artists), but people with talent are able to use the tools for superior art. Every era has its quality music and stuff that sucks. You're right, people who say any era's music is/was superior to another are just afraid of growing older
shut the fuck and look harder for good music you piece of shit elitist
@@indy_go_blue6048 the racism jumps out huh?
My 14th birthday. June 17th. What I would give to see them in concert. Almost 59 years old now and I still love them.
56 now
14 yrs old I WAS THERE light rain that day 1st time getting high! Also Poco, Todd. Rungren, and The Outlaws! BOSTON simply AMAZING!!!
I was there too i was 15 me and boys walked from kearny to see them. Great
Cool
Ohhhhh Poco!!!! They were great!
I'm 13 now I so wish I was alive then
AC/DC....Poco... Doobie Brothers....Tangerine Bowl 79
Whenever I feel depressed or down, I instantly listen to Boston. It’s like a strong medicine that instantly makes me feel better 🙂
th-cam.com/video/9yHwzvC-yNM/w-d-xo.html
Agree with you on that!
This is true...love is...from Ukraine...BOSTON the best.
Go to third stage!
оr high level but crazy shit ................
"I closed my eyes and she slipped away"..... just all the years since this song came out. Time really does fly.
and gets faster. dam.
At 67 years old this has always been my favorite band, always loved all their music!
Also 67 and one of my favorites too!
74 for me
Brad Delp, one of the greatest voices of all time. Saw these guys in St Louis in 1977 I think it was. Absolutely awesome live. RIP Mr Delp, I know first hand of your plight.
I'm sorry you know that first hand....He was a good friend of mine, and I loved him even when he wasn't easy to love. I know you'll understand that statement... God, I miss him! 💔💔
Very sad that he left us Rob. A brilliant singer and musician.
I was there too. One of the best concerts ever 👍
I saw them in the 80's at the Texas Jam in Dallas. Amazing concert. Always my favorite group. They sound like a party on stage. RIP Brad.
So many awesome artists gone too soon! 😢
I remember riding with my best friends in college and one owned a bronco and we had the windows rolled down and no one was talking. We were just singing out loud. Omg. What a memory!
This type of music has aged so well. A timeless piece of art.
Ares Apollo
And it’s just a fresh today as it was 40 years ago
Ares Apollo Very true!
Excellent performance. Unfiltered and unashamed........BRAVO ❤
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
@@GrandpaZero Brad was a genius. He didn’t deserve to die like that he’s a legend. What’s your favorite Boston song?
No flashy lights, no distractions. Just. Music.
Also a 1958 lp goldtop with p90s,
those go for half a million up these days😂
one of the greatest songs of all time
THE
OF. ALL. TIME!!!
Damn, this debut album was an absolute MONSTER.
Those not around at the time may not fully appreciate it... it was so so good ... exploding on the scene.
This opening track, then each and every track, bam bam bam, great stuff.
I knew they wouldn't last. Total Cash Grab.
I'm 57 now. This album was the only one I remember hearing EVERY song on the radio at one time or another back then.
You talk like this is appetite for destruction.
@ I heard a report that live, at the Dallas Cotton Bowl, that Boston was excellent.
@ Nope, that was a real report.
Back when the music mattered
There will come a time when this iconic track will be recognised for what it truly is, a complete one off , legendary track,
60’s and 70’s. I was there for it. Best music ever. Never come again. Thank you Lord.
There are Great tunes in every decade. Just because you’re too lazy to find good music in the last 30 years is on you
@@Oh_I_Will Nope. I tried.. Just not there. Kids today have NO idea.
Watching this with a fucking smile on my face! 2021 can go too hell! I'd rather go back to this!!!! Who's with me!
Any time. I'd go back in the blink of an eye. They can shove the last 40 years, especially the last 25 of them, right up where the sun don't shine. Gimme the time machine, I'm gone, baby !
@@antondial5326 I'm totally right there with you....when do we GTFO of here
センセーショナルな歌とサウンドに 衝撃を 受けて ぶっ飛んだ 当時 の音と映像を 勝手に オススメで、40うん年ぶりに
観れるなんて 本当に 便利で 良い時代だ。
One of most underrated bands of the 70’s and 80’s!
They weren't underrated everybody loved Boston no one could match that sound
Underrated where do you get that from?
Greatest debut album of all time.
Great period in history to be alive. Loved these guys... brings back memories. 😮
Cheers! Partytime
Cheers! 1984
This doesn't sadden me,it reminds me of good, good, good times, that I'll never forget,, it was more than a feeling!!!🐙👀🤫👨💻👣👀
Does it give you Peace of Mind too??
lauriec515 LOL, nice one, Laurie ! 🤣👍
I think of my fiance in the 70s catching a buzz and we had fun times and 2 children! Love the 70s.
Yeah, this also reminds me of a time I'll never remember also 😉
Boomers where whores more concerned with feelings and personal journeys than the state of our society. Now everyone seems to be a collectivists deprived of individualism or responsibility to be better said Lol...
Those were the days.
They were the hardest working band and had a sound like no other. Miss Brads voice very much rest in peace
The sound that this band generated was like no other. I’m a life long Who fan; always will be. But when Boston come on the radio, my radio gets turned up and I enjoy the drive I’m on so much. It’s great to be in motion when listening to Boston.
@@lilajagears8317 Boston can't hold Zeppelin's jockstrap.
Tom was a genius, designing the sound unlike any other.
This is rock perfection
RIP Brad. you are sadly missed. Sing to those angels...they will love you. x
along with drummer sib hashian he is gone now to
Anyone else here because they miss the good old days ☹️👍
I miss the good old days ✌️
I too. So much.
Shit, the bad old days but I’ll take it over this bs we got today. 😂😂
My high school years. I was a junior in 79. Remember this song blasting during lunch time in school quad.
❤
At 61 years old , I never get tired of this band. More than a feeling is a masterpiece that sounds as fresh today as it did in 1975. And yes, I had such a bad crush on Marianne S. In high school that just added to my love of this song!
KC sunshine band was 1975 petrified STP crust. Boston More than feelings came out 76 dust. Crosseyed on pcp elephant tranquilizer terminal buzz
@@dannyhood4007 Skipped a lot of English class dust...
You can make an argument that Boston should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame of their first album alone. Maybe the best debut album to come out ever.
If TH-cam doesn’t stop dropping ads dead in the middle of classic songs, I’m going to turn my iPad into a frisbee.
Yeah... who the f**k is in charge of putting the ads in the videos? Most times I quit watching a vid at the first ad!
Ha! I ran into your comment RIGHT AFTER THE COMMERCIAL 😹
LMFAO!!!🤣🤣
Easy answer, TH-cam premium.
THEY PUT AN ADD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAST COMFORTABLY NUMB SOLO
*Whata BAND ........ >> BOSTON
This is my wedding song for a reason.... but queen out did Boston for me specifically just because of the level of presentation and performance and creativity. Just my opinion
All eight songs from Boston’s debut album get regular airplay on the radio. Is there any other album whose EVERY song gets airplay? And this was their FIRST album. Incredible.
Very True (I was there). Every song on that album was 1st class and was the soundtrack to my high school years. But then their 2nd album, several years later, was half as good. And then they were gone. "One Hit Wonders", albeit one hit with an entire album.
IKR, totally agree! Their debut album Boston - Boston is incredible. Wore out two cassette tapes in my buddys mustang back in high school. We rocked out to that album hard! lol
What can you say, they had rly good weed at the time. Just the right amount of THC, very soft, very mellow and then they had a lot of sex
*gets airplay consistently 50 years later
Van Halen
50 years later the music from this decade is just as good as it was the first time I heard it. So good!
40.
I'm from Mexico, I listened to this this song since I was a kid and I still rock with it, incredible performance! Great band, this and peace of mind are great songs both.
Ah my high school years at their best. SO grateful that I got to experience such art in my lifetime. The human race, 100 years from now, will not know what greatness they missed out on.....
When I was in HS in the early 70's, there was NO dominate solidifying band or music!!! So I missed out on what you experienced... But how how could there be dominance 1969-1973??? These were some of the Greatest releases by some of the Greatest bands-- EVER. With that kind of competition... no one could stand out like Boston did. I'm talking in my HS years EPIC releases by The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, ELP, Alice Cooper, Chicago, and Grand Funk Railroad to name a few...
FM and some headphones. Drown out the world.That was the feeling.
"I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away. " Magic and sadness as I hear this song. RIP Brad.
More Than A Feeling is the first rock song I ever remember hearing in my life at 7 years old in my oldest sister's car on the way to the Beach and Boardwalk in Santa Cruz California.
They were One of the greatest live bands their sound so unique
They suck here.
I remember buying the BOSTON album and the first time we played it. We were in junior high school and now I'm 59. I love BOSTON!
I keep watching these old Boston live shows and I realize they were in a class by themselves nobody was better love RIP Brad
I was only 11 at the time but I would give anything to go back in time to see this song performed live. RIP Brad. 🕊️
I never got to go to concerts. My first was Alabama with an older cousin. My parents were so over protective of me. Then they died. I was all alone to fend for myself, knowing nothing, naive. Now I'm living, seeing all the bands that I could only listen to on the radio. I feel like a kid. Thank God for video's. They are timeless treasures.
Sorry about your parents. You've had a tough life, but I'd bet anything you are a strong person who enjoys every minute of life as a result. I know it may be easy for me to say, but hang in there. You certainly have the right attitude. These videos/songs sure are a Godsend. Brings back some wonderful memories of what seemed to be a simpler time gone by. Sounds as though they bring you a lot of happiness as well. I wish you the very best!!!! Stay strong and keep on rocking!!!
@@jasonbroten7956 Well I was writing a reply to you and something happened and "poof" it was gone. :/ Gotta love the internet. I was just saying that I'll bet most ppl who are told that they are strong and strong bcs they "Had" to be. I could have gotten into drugs and drinking but that's not a choice I made. It has taken a toll on my nerves though. I just love Axl and they guys. I'm the type of person who will try to understand someone and why they do what they do, instead of judging them. I have a feeling that you're the same kind of person. I'll be 80 and still rocking to GNR and Axl. His life hasn't been easy either. We Hoosiers are tough!! :)
@@pammie1774 So, you are a Hoosier. I had to respond to that simply because I was born in Indiana (Washington). So technically I am a Hoosier. Thing is we didn't live there very long, and I certainly do not recall any of it. My father worked in the insurance business and when he started out, was forced to move to different places. I guess we even lived in some God forsaken town on the Kansas/Oklahoma border. My mom hated it, and she let it be known she did. Needless to say we moved out of there pretty quickly. That is one place I'm happy to say I don't recall living in. Anyway, we ended up in a very nice suburb of Mpls/St. Paul, MN. Still living in the Twin Cities area and absolutely love it. It didn't hurt that I love hockey and was blessed to have played through college. Anyway, I agree with you in regards to Axl Rose and GNR. Those guys have been through hell and back...….a few times. I'm sure you know, but David Lee Roth is also a Hoosier. Yeah, I'll always love good ol' rock & roll that blows you away. My first concert was KISS with Judas Priest back in 1979. I'm dating myself but hey, I lived through a period of incredible music that I will always love.
You still have a chance to go to concerts
IT'S FUNNY HOW A SONG CAN TAKE YOU BACK TO A SIMPLER TIME IN LIFE WHEN YOU CAN SMILE AND THINK HOW LUCKY YOU WERE TO LIVE IN THAT ERA... THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SONGS.
Agree!
@@chinatype2bassrocker809 Oh really? I didn't notice the exclamation point.
@@chinatype2bassrocker809 It's aimed towards the visually impaired.
@@alphamale1228 😆
yes thank u for that. =)
When this album came out I was young and now I'm getting old. But this album doesn't age.
This when music was music. Real and pure and worth what you paid for when went to a concert
2023 and still loving this band and their songs. You know when its Boston...The sound is all original!
The song, more than any other, defined the 70s for me. It is the song I wake up to every single morning and I love it more every time I hear it. R.I.P. Brad Delp.
this is fantastic i was born in 1962 and listen to this everyday. enjoy it people.
The voice of Brad was unmistakable he is missed RIP
I was born 3 months to the day of this concert in September 17th 1979 it's amazing how time flies
Nothing but pure talent, guitars, vocals, drums, bass, no BS, how rock should be 😀
Boston - "MORE THAN A FEELING"- Ty for sharing.... I am a MA girl living in a PA world...OMG! So miss hearing this band! They are "wicked" good! It has taken me a long time to re listen to this song ... have to deal with yesterday memories ..yes I miss those days but I know they would want me to not live in the past... & I will always keep them forever safe & in my heart.... They keep me going strong...so this is good I can listen to it now with new meaning!
Hell yes! Letting it blare full blast!
Listening to Black Sabbath "Iron Man"
Ty all so much for all your likes! I am a MA girl living in a PA world! So yes ! I miss BOSTON!

I was there in the field sitting on blanket just to left of stage. First concert ❤
I remeber you!
@ 😂
This album changed my world.... still my Favourite track EVER. 💖
One of my favorites bands. Miss Brad Delp. Rest in Peace.
Sandra Molina saw,them in 1986 at the Worcester Centrum they had 10 shows there great concert
This is my favorite group. Followed closely by Rush
@@robbiefrentz9427 I seen Rush live 5 times ....
past the breakers
Man im jealous
@crack head satan very good ha. Everclear
Back when instruments, and hair, were used to their fullest.
Nobody does today what Tom did with his guitar back then. He’s a genius.
@@kensurrency2564 Dude is in a league of his own!
Aquanet baby!
When this came out you knew this band was headed for superstardom this song can be played over and over and over and over and over and I wouldn't get tired of hearing it RIP Brad
Greatest band ever!!! First album stayed in the top 100 for ten years, that's right ten years!!!!😊
This is the soundtrack of my mid teens. I had never heard anything like it then or now. And it NEVER gets old. RIP Brad.
I just say, "I don't always listen to Boston, but when I do, so do my Neighbors" The best band of my youth, I can't even remember how many times we went see them all around New England.❤
This song transports me back in time every time I hear it , back to the swimming pool , a kid with my friends and family , not a care in the world, what could go wrong ?
The musicianship of this original lineup is just outrageous. Although they've always sounded nearly perfect live.
AGRUPACION SIMPLEMENTE FANTASTICA, SE ERIZA LA PIEL AL ESCUCHARLOS!!!!!!!!
I’m 71 heard this song when it first came out still my favourite song ever and I’m a Small Faces / Humble Pie fan .
Yep, Tin Soldier & this
Hot and Nasty!! Humble pie will always be one of my go to songs when I want to feel good!
Never ever forget when their first came out.
I was 17 then.
Simply blown away.
Just another kind of rock.
The guy in the white, short-sleeved shirt w/a pocket protector standing behind the stack of amps = an MIT acoustic engineer, "Tom, do it like this. It'll rock."
My former CEO went to MIT and knew these guys. He told me 20+ years ago that the Boston band had their own amp. I didn't get it until much later.
You can see how incredibly difficult this song is to sing. Timeless masterpiece, I close my eyes …
Brad Delp had the voice and Tom Scholz had the sound. Two great talents that had great chemistry. The first time I ever heard Boston was their song "More than a Feeling" and I was in awe of this powerful new sound.
I always believed that the sound of Boston especially for what Tom did was ahead of the time
Joe G I always believed that the sound of Boston especially for what Tom did was ahead of the time
I still remember the moment that I realized the "Spaceship" on the cover was an upside-down guitar with the City of Boston in/on it !!
I thought it might be one of the coolest album covers of the year !
Much love AND gratitude out to all musicians who struggle and strive to make GREAT TIMELESS ART , both visual and auricular !!!!!!!
RIP Sib Hashian - fantastic classic rock drummer
Jeffrey Smith he taught me how to play drums......he plays in a musical way. I inherited my brother old 8track tapes. Boston, Kiss, Kansas..........I feel lucky to have had them as my teachers, even if they didn't know.. RIP Sib Hashian, much love and respect to you!!
He died on theLoveBoat
He gets so much respect, yet he copied the original Boston drummer (jim masdea) note for note on their 1st big self-titled album.
That was really cool. Tom sholz is a genius, and Brad delp had such a tremendous voice. That was so fun to watch
Can't believe it took me over 30 years to finally see Boston Live! Thanks for posting.
I’m 33 years of age born 1990. Don’t matter the age these guys rocked
In one word:::Timeless...Sounds as good today as it did in the 1970's and will sound a whole lot better TOMORROW!!!
Why--are you scoring some weed tomorrow?
sort of almost perfect ,the perfect song
Five guys sound like a chorus of thousands!!! The genius of Boston cannot be understated! THE BEST AOR ROCK BAND TO COME OUT OF THE 70's!!!
