Pretty much. Best Boston album by non-Boston band. I also like Nothin to Lose. I can't imagine the sound if it were sang by Brad instead. And like Sailin Away too.
A billion thanks to Barry Goudreau for not putting people through waiting every EIGHT YEARS for something from Boston. Tom, the genius, never learned comprehended that time doesn't wait even for him. No pun to the song "LONG TIME".
This tune is really good but something is missing. Perhaps this is Boston Junior? It's almost like a little brother trying mimic or replicate his big brother? I think Brad Delp is one of the best male vocalist ever. Sib and Barry are fantastic, and amazing in their respective instruments. It just seems like they're trying to pick up where'Boston' hit the end of the road. RIP Brad Delp. You're tearfully missed
What people got used to was Tom's special guitar effects on Boston songs 🎵. People forget that Barry Goudreau played the lead "monster guitar 🎸 on "Long Time", "Let me take you home tonight" "Used to bad news" and he played SLIDE GUITAR 🎸 on "Don't be afraid" and Don't look back. In other words , Barry Goudreau was very much part of the Boston sound. He just wasn't narcissistic like Tom Scholz.
@@kurtisslystne5250 I'm glad Barry and the guys put this out in 1980. There was NO BOSTON for 6 yrs (because of Toms lawsuit battles)and I remember in high school the teens were pissed with Boston taking so long between albums. This was a relief in a way.
I recall when I first heard this song in the early 80’s, I thought it was a new Boston release. I was literally shocked when I learned it was Goudreau’s first solo album with the aid of Delp, Cosmo and Hashian. Needless to say, I bought the album and practically wore it out from massive rotation. There was a ton of talent in Goudreau’s band!
Tom wouldn't let them use Boston as their name court ordered,so guitar heros were big then hence self tilted so sales were low only a few who kept in the new,bought it
Brad Delp and Freddie Mercury for me are the best 2 rock vocalists ever. Really can't pick a favorite. Totally forgot about this song for 40 years until I just looked up what Barry Goudreau has been doing. I loved this song!
Driving around, listening to this today thinking to myself, wow, I think I can learn the rhythm to this!! As a strictly bar chord player, I picked up this jewel in about ten minutes. What a fantastic bunch of simple riffs. Love & own the lp, what a great track. Tom dropped the ball by not allowing Barry to contribute more to Boston. And much love to Brad, RIP.
How many other people heard this song in 1980 and thought OMG Boston three album is out only to find we would be waiting another 6 years for it ! Lol 😩⏳
Listening to this for the first time. Actually, the first time of anything by Delp outside of Boston. It's clear that he was the sound of Boston. Once you hear his voice you think it's Boston (or at least I did).
Dreams was in the top 100 ... I believe it was at no. #76 ... and had sold over 100,000 units with in 2 weeks ... Then Tom Scholz had CBS pull the plug on the album due to an advertisement that CBS put out ... or CBS would not see the 3rd Boston album ... also, "Mean Women Blues" was being played on blues radio
I think the album cracked the top 100 but the Dreams single just barely missed it. The album caused a rift with Barry and Tom since it was recorded to sound as close to a Boston album as possible, even using the same producer and engineer and promoted almost a Boston album. The label should have called this group "Bay Staters" or something. That would have been great lol
@@djdonald243 It does sound very radio typical but there's a million reasons why a single doesn't go #1. The fact that it's technically not a Boston release probably had a lot to do with its lower chart position, too.
This song brings back memories of listening to my favorite radio station, WCOZ in Boston. WCOZ was literally my life soundtrack from 1980-82. My junior high school cafeteria played this station over the sound system and my school bus driver had it on his racio all the time.
This song/album were never played or released where I live, not that I can remember. And I would have remembered, everybody was waiting for Boston 3. This would have been HUGE in my town if it had been played on radio. Never heard about it until TH-cam.
You never heard it because the record label pulled Barry’s albums off the racks and off the radio. Tom Scholz accused Barry of “copying the Boston Sound” and the label cow-towed to Scholz. That effectively derailed Barry’s solo career. You have 3/5ths of Boston here. The irony is, without Barry basically teaching Tom how to play rock guitar (he was a keyboard player) there wouldn’t be a “Boston Sound,” or even a “Boston.”
@larrypower8659 yeah if you listen to the demos before the first album you can hear that the guitar sound for boston is essentially Barry's tone and playing style. Everyone thinks tom scholz did it all himself...he just copied the licks barry did In his basement studio.
Every so often, I just have to pull up this song and listen to it. Brad Delp has been gone about 15 years now, but his voice will live on forever. Boston released their first album almost 48 years ago and it still sounds just as good today as it did back then.
This album never got $hit for marketing and thus only sold a few hundred thousand copies if I recall correctly. It's been such a long time. wink wink. It did get some radio play. 4/5 of Boston sounded pretty good to me. I never knew they made a video though. Nice find!
Just saw the comments from Barry that Scholz went out of his way make sure the record company pulled the plug on promoting this. If true, Scholz was a moron. By publicly getting behind this record it would have only helped to raise his own profile and that of the Boston brand. “If you like Barry’s record you haven’t heard anything yet - you are gonna love our next one.” Any idiot could have figured that one out.
It's obvious that Barry had a lot more talent than people gave him credit for. Hell, he's barely even mentioned when people talk about Boston, but it's clear part of that rich Boston sound came from him.
I heard this song at the end of Ballers and was like I have never heard that Boston song! But it's not, well kinda sorta haha, it is now one of my favorites! Love this song!
Tom broked his relation with Barry excellent guitarist, on stage too. It was like to cancel a great possibility of a good Boston Album. Some genius are really crazy.
I’ve been trying to find this song for nearly 40 years! I heard it ONCE on the radio when it was first released, and the only thing I could remember about it was some of the lyrics in the last line... 🤯
I'd heard this a gazillion times on the Album Rock station in St. Louis, but the jocks were never real big on identifying songs or artists...so I spent my life up until today thinking this was just some Boston deep cut.
A local radio station here used to play this song and I would go crazy when I heard it. Years ago I downloaded the MP3 so I could play it at parties. Now I watch the video and it's like a parody. I can't take it serious. The crunch of that guitar is imprinted in my head.
Well, there are at least 3 guys from Boston in the video. Says a lot about working with Tom Scholz. Barry was the guitar hero in that band that's for sure. Brad Delp, man what a gift to hear, and Sib, yeah baby!
I remember reading Tom Scholz suing Barry over legendary Boston guitar tone... Idk what became of it... I got pretty close on amplitube to jam on my cheap squire guitar... Love it!
Sounds exactly like Boston (more like Don't Look Back since the debut had a lot of acoustic guitars). So that would mean The Outfield sounds like Boston ?????
YOU said EXACTLY what I was going to comment and you have a great ear. The intro chords and vocal melody line, without question, remind me as much of The Outfield as Boston. Bring the key up a step too and it has Tony Lewis written all over it as a song that would have worked perfectly on their "Bangin'" album. No disrespect to Barry and/or Brad because Brad, Tony and Ben Orr of the cars are my 3 favorite rock vocalists.
Ive seen Barry a dozen times with the Engine Room, they always play this song. So glad to have gotten to know those guys over the years. They are great people.
Talk about extreme closeups, lol! I had this album when it came out while waiting for Boston's next release after the first two killer albums. This one filled the void until Third Stage dropped.
James Tucker , Tom Scholz fired Barry Goudreau from Boston because EPIC packaged Barry's album as "ALMOST BOSTON" . Tom got Epic to sabotage promoting this album. Like Foreigners Mick Jones whined to Atlantic records in 1991 sabotaging Lou Gramms band and album called 👉SHADOW KING forcing to Lou back in Foreigner in 1992.
Good song which should have been a top 40, 30 or possibly top 20! Thanks to Tom for preventing this song from being a hit for the band and not allowing us Brad Delp fans to hear his pipes when this came out and we were craving for more Boston -like music!

The best Boston song not by Boston, but pretty much by Boston. And, nobody had a voice like Brad. That dude could belt it out like nobody else.
Well said. Zackly
Pretty much. Best Boston album by non-Boston band. I also like Nothin to Lose. I can't imagine the sound if it were sang by Brad instead. And like Sailin Away too.

Cough! Good one!
No one sang, or ever will, like Brad.

Brad was one of a kind. The best.
@@mrmonster7518 Exactly right.

Love this song. Brad Delp could sing the phone book and make it sound interesting. Just a great piece of music.
Brad delp and barry goudreau is the dream team, they complimented their music playing side by side.
A billion thanks to Barry Goudreau for not putting people through waiting every EIGHT YEARS for something from Boston. Tom, the genius, never learned comprehended that time doesn't wait even for him. No pun to the song "LONG TIME".

Agree
Brad Delp is A LOT better than Freddie Mercury. Let’s be real here.
Where would you place Derek St. Holmes and Peter Cetera?
Rob Halford, Rik Emmett, Bruce Dickinson, Sammy Hagar, Ronnie James Dio
lou gramm is up there too ;-)
Brad was Barry's brother-in-law, & they saw each other everyday.
RTZ was a spin-off Boston band founded by Brad and Barry.

A relatively simple song but it does say so much with less, well done and I miss these guys.
Love & own the LP from so many years ago (too😊)
Love Brad Delp and Barry Goudreau together! What a sound!

Was, Sadly.
I got to meet Barry and Sib in 78. Didn't get to meet the rest of the band. Got pictures and they were super nice guys.
Why was this not a number one hit? I think this is a perfect rock song.

Barry Goudreau solo album. Great album
Rocks harder than Boston ... Great job Barry Goudreau, Brad Delp, Fran Cosmo and Sib Hashian

There will never be another one like brad.

The closest thing fans of the band Boston could get in the early 1980's was this forgotten gem.
😢still an awesome unforgettable sound, great stuff.
2022 sitting around a campfire we still play it!!
Why was this not a huge hit its awesome Tommy taking a so called break while other members from Boston wanted to keep going
What a great song - Brad was one of a kind.

Hell yeah 👍
Summer 1980, I loved this song and thought Boston made a new album
Sounds like Boston! This is proof that it wasn’t all TS!
......mmmmmm......no.
This should have been a hit single! Apparently Radio ignored it.
RIP Brad and Sib
The god of rock vocals Brad Delp
This is wonderful. I missed this song years ago, our local stations were just top 40. So I've got a new "Boston" song. YAY!!!
Brad Delp was definitely THE VOICE OF BOSTON!!
Masterpiece is all that can be said should have 71m views

You have Tom Scholtz to thank for this album getting the promotional rug pulled out from underneath it.
It’s seems to have more of a feeling eh !!!!!
Boston is my favorite Rock Band of all time. Timeless music!
I want more than a feeling played at my funeral.

Jonathan Lee I agree with you 100%. I could listen to brad Depp 24 hours a day.
SO SO GOOD! Such a great 'feel good' rock tune, with great vocals, riffing, and melodic lead guitar! This song ROCKS!
That would have been a great Boston song
It's obvious that Barry had a lot more talent than people gave him credit for. Hell, he's barely even mentioned when people talk about Boston, but it's clear part of that rich Boston sound came from him.
Just the solos from longtime alone seals the deal ...Barry Goudreau was the sound.
RIP Brad and Sib... your music lives on
Orion the hunter has some great songs as well with barry in that band as well
What a voice... the sound of Boston!
Melodic power with a great range
The legend Brad Delp
It sucks that whoever was filming this piece of History was too busy zooming In on nothing at all, completely missing Barry’s solo. What a drag
wow, its like a lost Boston album, cool!
I heard this song at the end of Ballers and was like I have never heard that Boston song! But it's not, well kinda sorta haha, it is now one of my favorites! Love this song!
Happy heavenly birthday Bradley Edward Delp RIP

Wow what a great find, such an amazing voice, harmony, band!
These guys played on another band also called Boston.

Also Orion the Hunter and RTZ.

or at least, he WAS
Best voice in Rock and Roll... RIP Brad.... 😥
I saw RTZ in new orleans in 1992 it was the best BRAD SANG GONA HITCH A RIDE IT WAS MAGIC!!!!!!!!

The voice, the vibe...takes me back to less cynical times.
Finally a better video of this! I love these recordings and the RTZ stuff❤️
This is the Boston sound minus Tom cracking the whip. I wasnt there, my apologies. Brad lives on.....
Claudio Murillo also, Fran Cosmo’s on bass

I saw RTZ in new orleans and brad n barry was fn amazing rip brad
How was this not a #1 song?

This group should be called BRAD DELP.
Love seeing this. I remember in 76 when the first Boston album came out. Was blown away. Tom wasn't the only talent, i can see that now.
Goudreau and Delp should have done the complete album and started Return to Zero right then.
Amazing what you find on you tube. I love sid,brad,and berry
ya, the whole album is awesome 🎉
R.I.P Brad Delp there will never be another, Rock The Stars Baby...
Sounded his best here! He was happy! Tom was a real pain to work with.
Now you know where the real sound of Boston came from.
Yea Barry.
And Brad.
Yep
That is one of the stupidest, uninformed comments ever.
The real sound is from Tom Scholz, who is not in this band.
Talk about extreme closeups, lol! I had this album when it came out while waiting for Boston's next release after the first two killer albums. This one filled the void until Third Stage dropped.
Third Stage would have been better if the drums were electricized.
Wow,love both Brad and Barry,you guys rocked my childhood
it probably would have been number one if they labeled it as Boston and not just Barry ❤
James Tucker , Tom Scholz fired Barry Goudreau from Boston because EPIC packaged Barry's album as "ALMOST BOSTON" . Tom got Epic to sabotage promoting this album.

Yes, he was! I’ve been trying to figure out what Barry and Fran have been up to lately but no luck!
Fran sang on Barry's debut album also listen closely,Brad sang back up for Fran on some
Thank you! Great song!
