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".
Well said, Walter S. Not only did it take Tom forever to record an album, he was also extremely slow at writing songs. (He began writing for Boston's debut album back in 1968 and a couple of those early songs that were leftover were also used on "Don't Look Back".) Had he allowed Brad, and particularly Brad & Barry together, to write songs, we likely would have had a couple of more killer Boston albums rather than just three. By the time Tom got around to the 4th Boston album "Walk On" (18 years after the debut album), the Boston sound was long outdated and didn't fit in with the grunge era. Back then, most of those 70's bands hated the grueling pace the record companies put them through, which was a new album every 9 months. (Due in large part to Tom's successful lawsuits, it would soon become an album every 2 to 3 years.) Today, the successful bands are grateful that the record labels knew their business and pushed them so hard. The labels knew that rock music consisted of a series of 4 year trends, and they knew that a band that is hot today would often be irrelevant 4 years later. They also were aware that most of the good R&R songwriters have a prolific period where they can crank out the hits on demand, but usually this period is limited to just a few years. Think of all the great R&R bands from this period, such as Zeppelin, Rush, Styx, Boston, Heart, Kansas, Journey, REO, and Foreigner, who have established successful careers that still continue 50 years later thanks to the record company pushing them when they were "hot". Had Tom put his ego aside, listened to the record company, and allowed his talented band mates to do more, I'm certain that Boston would have likely had a couple of more big albums and would be in the R&R Hall of Fame (not that the R&RHoF means much these days)!
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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I heard this song at the end of a a Ballers episode. I said " thats Brad Delp". I looked on the internet for an hour to try and find this song. My wife had an app that could listen to it and that is how I found it. The name came up Barry Goudreau. I told my wife that Barry sounds just like Brad, LOL. Then I played the video and it all came together. "that is Brad Delp". How on earth have I missed this music for the last 30 years. Brad was one of the most amazing voices in our lifetime.
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.
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!
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.
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 😩⏳
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!
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.
@@rodrossi9749 It wasn't "all" Tom. Most of the guitar sound you hear on the first few albums were thanx to Barry's talent and experience with guitar harmony. Listen to his music pre-Boston and you can clearly hear it.
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!
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.
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 always thought it was kind of a shame they didn't come up with Dreams when they were recording the Don't Look Back album, since that album could have used an extra track or two. This would have been a perfect bridge between A Man I'll Never Be and Feelin' Satisfied.
I got into Boston young for my age then but not till the late 80s. I just downloaded the whole album. It's like finding a lost Boston album, and it is satisfying the itch I long craved. More so than any recent Boston album by far. I gotta say the more I learn the bands legal problems, Im starting realize Shultz was really a selfish prick.
I totally agree with you. Mark my works... Boston is on hiatus now. Their current singer, Tommy De Carlo is touring his own band now. Playing Boston songs. I won't be surprised if Tom Sholtz kicks him out of Boston.
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!
Rediscovered this song on one of the Volumes of the album series Heard It on the Radio from 1999. Thanks for this upload. So glad I got the chance to see Delp live back on the Third Stage Tour.
I love watching the original Boston minus Tom and Fran. I wish they would have stayed together. I saw the originally lineup three times and they were AWESOME! Dreams is one of my favorite songs. Barry was cheated out of watching his album climb the charts! I loved "Mean Woman Blues" also!
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.
Only missing one significant member, yet you KNOW who this is! :) Fun! This was much better than Orion The Hunter - which had it's moment's, but didn't quite capture the "formula". This reminds me of Side B of Don't Look Back that was reordered some time after Side A. This easily could have been on there. You gotta love some Boston!!
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.
An underrated song and album, for sure. I love Tom, but it sure does seem like he could be a jackass - now I understand why everyone left the band. Many of these songs from this album should have been on the 3rd album.

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 !!!!!

They presented it to Tom and he did not like it from what I have seen and heard.
A bit clunky, not as clear either. Boston production is needed.

Rediscovered this song on one of the Volumes of the album series Heard It on the Radio from 1999. Thanks for this upload. So glad I got the chance to see Delp live back on the Third Stage Tour.
I do love that sound...😆
That would have been a great Boston song
Brad… your voice.. it cannot be forgotten. I hope there is a cool chick out there that digs you as hard as I do ❤
Happy heavenly birthday Bradley Edward Delp RIP
I love watching the original Boston minus Tom and Fran. I wish they would have stayed together. I saw the originally lineup three times and they were AWESOME! Dreams is one of my favorite songs. Barry was cheated out of watching his album climb the charts! I loved "Mean Woman Blues" also!
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.”
Ive heard it a few times here in Topeka Kansas on KDVV 100.3
@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.
Kickass, good stuff!
Only missing one significant member, yet you KNOW who this is! :) Fun! This was much better than Orion The Hunter - which had it's moment's, but didn't quite capture the "formula". This reminds me of Side B of Don't Look Back that was reordered some time after Side A. This easily could have been on there. You gotta love some Boston!!
Wow, I didn’t know this existed. This would sound exactly like Boston if it was played through a rockman
If not for Delp's distinctive voice, this tune calls to mind 'The Outfield' as much as it does 'Boston'.
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 ?????
@@edcollins9377 yes, The Outfield sounds like a minor league 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.
An underrated song and album, for sure. I love Tom, but it sure does seem like he could be a jackass - now I understand why everyone left the band. Many of these songs from this album should have been on the 3rd album.
100% CORRECT 👍 👍
The voice, the vibe...takes me back to less cynical times.
This Song ! A Gem !
