      Sometime between 11:00 pm on March 8 and 1:20 am on March 9, 2007, Delp committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in his home on 55 Academy Avenue, in Atkinson, New Hampshire.[4] He left various notes scattered from his car to the interior of his home. The Atkinson police discovered his body on the floor of his master bathroom after his fiancée, Pamela Sullivan saw a dryer vent tube connected to the exhaust pipe of Delp's car. Two charcoal grills were found to have been placed in the bathtub and lit, causing the room to fill with smoke.[5] A suicide note was paperclipped to the neck of his T-shirt, which read the same as a character's note from Twin Peaks: "Mr. Brad Delp. 'J'ai une âme solitaire'. I am a lonely soul." Delp left four sealed envelopes in his office addressed to his children, his former wife Micki, his fiancée, and a couple who were not named by the media

      It is amazing how certain songs take you back to a specific time/place. Whenever I hear the Ozzy Osborne/Lita Ford song "Close My Eyes Forever" I am transported back to 1989, sitting on the dock behind the Greenwood Motel in Destin, FL fishing with my buddy Ken and hearing the music from the waterpark next door. We heard dozens of songs over the couple of nights we were there and that one song always takes me back.

We played the game so much, everyone in our group was killer at Foosball. The games were extremely exciting and competitive, and the music just seemed to take the excitement to a whole new level.

    Y'all finally got around to my very favorite Boston song. This Boston album is written into my musical DNA. It was released when I was four, I don't remember life without it, and "Hitch A Ride" has always been my favorite.
    I'm 50 years old, a Bachelor of Arts in music, and a lifelong musician, and I say that the dual guitar solo at the end of this song is the single finest recorded moment in the history of the electric guitar. It is everything rock guitar is supposed to be, and it is sublime. I've heard it literally thousands of times, and it brings tears of pure joy to my eyes every single time.

    I can't believe you hadn't done this song yet. I've seen many reactions to it and didn't realize yours wasn't one of them. This song is my favorite off of their incredible debut album. When the organ comes in hard in the middle solo, it hits you like a ton of bricks. And the outro is one of the best ever performed in my opinion. And when you add that to Brad Delp's amazing singing and harmonies, it makes this song pure heaven.

    You all should listen to this one again. Seriously.
    I can almost guarantee you both that it will have an even bigger impact on you upon multiple listens.
    The entire song leading into the outro guitar solo(s)
    is a little "different", as Amber put it, but after you have heard the song a few times, the leading part works.
    It sort of HAD to sound the way it does in order for the song as a whole to be the masterpiece that it is, and for the guitar solo to blow your mind the way it does.
    I remember telling my family and friends about this song. Especially the guitar solo. They had to hear it!!
    It wasn't played on the radio as often as "More Than A Feeling" or other songs on the album. There are many great guitar solos out there, but only a handful that take your breath away. This one, along with the one on The
    Allman Brothers song "Blue Sky" [ which is also a "double" guitar solo ] , are in that select group. They have that rare aspect to them that makes it seem as though the guitars are singing to you -- like they are continuing on the lyrics of the song.

    This is my favorite Boston song. Brad Delp was such an amazing singer. Tremendous loss when he passed way too early. I just LOVE the dueling guitar solos at the end. And the middle section with the keys and guitar? Killer. Anything from this album is fantastic. Best debut album EVER. Please do Party or Smokin' next if you haven't already. Cheers guys.

    This ranks right up there as one of the best guitar arrangements in the Classic Rock genre. The outro guitar solo always reminds me of Don Felder & Joe Walsh's dueling guitars on "Hotel California", except that one man is playing both parts on "Hitch a Ride". You can't go wrong on any track from this debut album.

  • @a152999

    The solo in the end OMG what your hearing is a guitar battle between Tom Sholz and Barry Goodrrow then them joining in together for an extraordinary duel lead. Boston and Queen and Styx are always so good at going back and fourth from the softest prettiest sound to the abrasive hard "kick you in the ass sound" with professional fluidness.

    Hands-down my very favorite Boston song. It’s masterfully crafted (actually was originally titled San Fransisco Day with different lyrics in the chorus - Rick Beato has a video of the original demos for this album). The guitar solos - MAN - before there was ProTools, there were pros. One of the best guitar solos in classic rock music. ✌🏻🙏🏼

      That's interesting. I know Foreplay was the first song he wrote in 1969, probably after he answered the ad to join Barry Goudreau and Jim Masdea's band "Freehold". It was either late '69 or '70 when he asked Barry if he could play guitar in the band. He didn't play very well, but Barry agreed and helped him develop his guitar skills. It was either '70 or '71 Barry brought Tom to see Brad (who Barry knew) perform. That was after the band changed it's name to "Mother's Milk" and then they began creating the demos.

    1977...... My Senior Year in High School. Walk out of the house every morning with a cup of coffee in my hand and a book bag over the shoulder. Climb into my old car, a 1966 Chrysler Newport, with an 8 Track Tape Player and 4 Coaxial Speakers. Crank her up, and shove this Tape into the tape deck and head for school, stopping to pick up my girlfriend along the way. You could play this tape/album from beginning to end and never find a song you didn't like. In my next car, had it on cassette tape. Then CD. I still have it on my Phone and bluetooth it to my truck player and play it occasionally on the way to and from work. I have literally listened to this album for 47 years.

    This song has such a perfect ending. It has a melancholy vibe to it and it still rocks! But that ending, it's not how I thought it would end but once I heard it I thought there was no other ending that could feel as perfectly placed.

  • @gotham61

    Like most tracks on the first Boston album, this is mostly a Tom Scholz solo project. Brad Delp sang all of the vocal lines, Sib Hashian played the drums, and Scholz played everything else, all guitars, organ, bass etc.

    • @ptournas
      @ptournas ปีที่แล้ว

      Scholz played all the keyboards, although he did play guitar and keyboard on every song and bass guitar on several, he didn't play ALL the guitars and bass on the album. Foreplay/Longtime and Let Me Take You Home Tonight (which was written by Brad Delp) used the full band, with Scholz and Barry Goudreau on lead guitars Brad Delp on vocals, Franny Sheehan on bass and Sib Hashian on drums. Brad Delp also played acoustic guitar on 'Let Me Take You Home Tonight". Those songs were about 12 1/2 minutes, which is a third of the album. Of course Brad Delp did all the vocal tracks and Sib Hashian did the drums tracks on all the songs except Rock and Roll Band, which used Jim Masdea's drum track.

    Boston was the first band I ever saw in concert back in the fall of 1978. Back then, hitchhiking was still a thing (I even did it myself a couple of times) so I always thought of hitchhiking when I heard this song.

    Just playing through some of your reactions to Boston. Love these songs, and your reactions to hearing them for the first time brings me joy. Us boomers used to buy the albums (vinyl) and play it/them all the way through every time. We learned all the songs on every one. With Boston, especially their first album, darn near every song seems like it was released on the radio. It's good to hear it again through your ears.

  • @mavfin8720

    So timeless... Saw Boston in early 1988, and Brad Delp still sounded like this. (The venue is a parking lot now...) I knew this music as a kid under 10, as my siblings had this on vinyl in the late 70s.
