    You can play this entire album start to finish, and not skip past a single note or track. The whole thing is straight fire! To this day, it's still in the top 5 of the greatest debut album sales of all time!! They hit a grandslam out the gate! 🤘😃

    Tom Scholz basically created this whole album in his basement studio by himself, playing all instruments, over several years!!!
    A genius for sure!!!
    With lead singer Brad Delp incredible vocals.

    • @punkydoodle4774

    • @neechee5150
      @neechee5150 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @martinl8574 There is so much Boston/Tom Scholz urban legend out there. First off, all of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C on their Quad Eigth Console with a Neuman U87 solid state mic. The high end mic pres and compressors used on Brads voice are part of the reason why his voice was recorded and produced to the level that it is on this record.
      The entire song, Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was recorded in its entirety at The Record Plant LA by producer John Boylan. The debut Boston record was mixed at Westlake Studio by producer John Boylan, engineer Warren Dewey and Tom. The tracks that we hear on this record were recorded in the winter of 1975 through the spring of 1976.
      Tom did NOT play ALL of the instrument tracks on this record. Barry plays electric rhythm guitar on Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. Barry also plays lead guitar on Long Time and lead/slide guitar on Let Me Take You Home. Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad plays 12 string acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home. Tom does not play a single drum track on this record and the record is much much better for that fact. Tom did not play drums on the demo that got "Boston" signed with Epic either. Sib plays drums on every song but one and Jim Masdea plays that song which happens to be Rock and Roll Band. Tom could not play the drum parts on this record after the third cold day in hell. He simply does not have the technique, timing or groove to pull these parts off.

    This became the best selling debut album of all time upon its release. I saw them live at Madison Square garden in 77. I rank that concert up there with others I seen including Queen, E L O, Yes, Heart, the Who, AC/DC and many more!!!

      I saw them in concert too when this album came out. They’re right, not a bad song on it. They were perfect in concert just like on the songs. I don’t know if anyone has told you, but look at the album cover if you turn it upside down, the spaceship is a guitar. One of the most talented groups ever!

    I love watching young people discovering & appreciating music I've been listening to for 40+ years! No synths were used on this (or on any of the songs) on their debut album. What you thought was a synth was a Hammond ("B3" model?) organ, and also custom guitar pedals that Tom Scholz invented. "Smokin'" and "Hitch a Ride" will also blow your mind.

    I love watching “first timers” to this song/band. They were the band when I was in high school. I got to see them once in concert and it was amazing. The whole album this song came from does NOT have one bad song. Listen to them all. You won’t regret it. ❤

    As far as the instruments, we've heard organ, the drummer doing a really fast triplet hi hat pattern but it's straight and not swung, we have a walking bass, and then we have the piano along with the bass walking hard, we get Barre chords on the distorted electric guitars, and then a fantastic intense drum pattern going on that is frenetic as can be ...

    • @neechee5150
      @neechee5150 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @stevedahlberg8680 there is no piano either electric or acoustic on this record. For these two songs, Tom is playing a Hammond M3 organ and a clavinet in terms of keyboards.

    For my money, this is Boston's best banger. You should check out Roll With The Changes by REO Speedwagon. It doesn't sound the same as Long Time, but it does have a similar epic irresistible rock and roll roller coaster ride feel to it.

    This was 1976, synthesizers were just starting. Tom Scholz took pride in the fact he didn't use any synths on the whole album. He designed and built all the effects equipment himself

    • @GeeeEm61
      @GeeeEm61 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My 1976 record album liber notes show that Tom played an organ and a clavinet which, whilst not synths, are still keyboards and therefore earlier predecessors to synths.

    It's arena rock, it definitely should be listening to loud, laugh. I saw them in junior high with my girlfriend in 1977, not long after this debut album came out. It's considered to be one of the greatest debut albums in rock music history and you can't go wrong with it. I have actually seen reaction channels work through it from the first song on the album to the last song and it has a pretty good sequence.
    You can't go wrong with anything off of this album. If you want a really atmospheric one that still rocks, check out their hit from this same debut album, Gonna Hitch a Ride. The opening to it is beyond beautiful.

    Love your reaction, and you are right, we had great music back then in '76, I was 28yo.
    When I first heard this album, (and you MUST listen to the entire album), I knew it would be in the R&R HOF !! This album was entirely the idea and work of one man. Tom Scholz, an MIT grad in Electrical Engineering, who quit his job at Polaroid, (I think), built his own brand of guitar electronics ("Rockman", I still have a vast array of Rockman units on my Rig to this day, cause you can't sound like BOSTON without, a Rockman "Sustainer") and single-handed played all instruments (and recorded this in his basement -... not a studio. (his BASEMENT) BTW Tom played a Gibson Les Paul guitar with single-coil pickups, on this album.
    He did get Brad Delp's help on the vocals (another genius idea) - but all the rest was Scholz.
    He didn't pull a band together until after the album came out and he realized he needed to start touring. He is a freaking genius !! His interview is on The Tube, right now. He makes his guitar sound like a rocket taking off !!

      @brucecronin6396 Scholz has a BS and a Masters from MIT in mechanical engineering. You can confirm this by researching the MIT alumi lists.
      Tom did not play a single drum track on this record. Jim Masdea played drums on the demo that was sent to Epic and producer John Boylan. Sib plays drums on every song on the record except Rock and Roll Band and Jim Masdea played drums on that song. Barry who plays a Gibson SG plays electric rhythym on Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. Barry plays lead guitar on Long Time (that amazing solo is Barry) and lead and slide guitar on Let Met Take You Home. Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad plays accoustic 12 string on Let Me Take You Home. The band as pictured on the back of the record recorded Let Me Take You Home before this record was completed and released.
      Let Me Take You Home was written by Brad who also co-wrote Smokin', and Let Me Take You Home was recorded in its entirety at The Record Plant LA in the spring of 1976. All of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C on their Quad Eight console using a Nueman U 87 solid state mic. The vocal production on this record would not be what it is were in not for the high end mic pres, high end compressors, and the plate reverbs that were used by Boylan at Capital Studio C
      Barry met Tom when Tom auditioned to plaly keyboards in Barry's band around 1969/1970. Barry then introduced Brad to Tom shortly thereafter. Barry, Brad and Tom played Tom's songs live for years before they were refined and recorded in 1975-1976, Barry played on some of Toms demos and Brad sang on some of Toms demos. Brad sang on the demo that was sent to Epic and producer John Boylan and that demo led to both Tom and Brad being signed by Epic. Brads voice is just as much a key component of Boston as Scholz guitar sound was.

    • @GeeeEm61
      @GeeeEm61 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      My 1976 record album liner notes show that the band was already pulled together at the time of making the album, Tom (multi guitars & related effects, bass, organ, clavinet & percussion), Brad (vocals), Barry (lease & rhythm guitars), Fran (Bass) & Sib (drums & percussion).

    Hard to appreciate how big an impact this song made. This was very early in the FM radio era that gave us clear, no static stereophonic sound. Suddenly you HAD to have a good component stereo system and great headphones to get the most out of this masterpiece. We take it for granted now, but we just hadn't heard anything like Boston before. Tom Scholz was a trailblazer for the modern era of music.

    The guitar is a modified 1968 Gibson Les Paul. Tom Scholz created many of his own effects including his Hyperspace Pedal, which is featured throughout all of Boston's music. Les Paul was the dude who invented the solid body electric guitar, multi track recording, and many other things. Without Les Paul, none of this music would be possible. You should react to some of his videos. He was a genius.

    Tom Scholz, Polaroid engineer, invented and built the electronics that made his unique electric guitar sound, back in the days before digital. Genius engineer, genius musician. Top tier indeed -- every single track on this album was a hit, and I've listened to it countless times in the nearly 50 years since it came out.

    • @neechee5150
      @neechee5150 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @DavidTateVA Tom used Marshall amps on this record for his guitar sound. There was no Rockman or Rockman prototype around at the time this record was made. The Rockman was not finished and on the market until 1982. Tom did not make the large theater lighting system variable resistor that he used as a power soak at this time either. The eq curve that Tom used on the electric guitar sound is also a big part of the Boston sound as well. Tom certainly did not invent the graphic eqs that he used either.

    Boston has been my favorite band since I was young, story time. My aunt was visiting, her and my parents left to go out to dinner. I was just sitting around watching TV. They came back late that night, saying "They just came back from a Boston/Styx concert, and my dad hated both bands and only went along begrudgingly." I was like, those are my favorite bands wtf. Never got to see them Live, as Brad Delp would later end his being less than 2 months later.

    You asked what kind of guitar. Tom Scholz was playing a Gibson Les Paul. He created his own sound by building electronic devices to bring it to what you hear. Even the space and spaceship sounds were done with his guitar through those devices. He is an electronic genius.

      @mitchjernigan3394 The core of the guitar sound on this record is the sound of Marshall tube amps being driven so hard that the power tubes (not pre amp tubes) are clipping and naturally compressing the sound along with some major eq work. The electric guitar sound is a combination of a mic'd Marshall cabinet and a DI signal. Tom used a large variable resistor from a theater lighting system to soak up the power coming off the Marshall to lessen the volume to where it would not make him deaf and get him in trouble with the neighbors and to bring the level to a point where he could record the direct guitar sound as well. The Rockman and even the Rockman prototypes did not exist at the time this record was made and Scholz did not start to not use anything that would become part of the Rockman on a Boston record until Don't Look Back. The Rockman was not finished and on the market until 1982.
      Also Barry is playing electric rhythm guitar on both of these songs and he is playing the lead solo on Long Time as well so you are actually hearing a Gibson SG on these two songs. This is all explained and documented in the liner notes of the 2006 Scholz remaster of the debut Boston record. These liner notes also spell out who played drums on which songs and more of Fran and Brads contributions to this record.

    In the fall of 1976, you could hear this album blasting from somewhere in my college dorm 24/7. One of the more unusual sounds you may be hearing and wondering about is only listed in the credits as "top secret space effects pedal". So it is either a custom guitar effects pedal, or an output modifier attached to a synthesizer/keyboard. Either way, it is unique and awesome.

  • @EShelby2127
    @EShelby2127 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The album is a "Start to Finish" - keep the needle down. 1976, freshman year in college, ringing through the dorms on a Friday afternoon.

    I saw Boston in 1978. I thought the drumming was fake on this song. When, Sib Hashian, started playing this song, foreplay, I couldn't believe it. Played note for note. I love drummers.
