Same on the depression issue. Please hang in there. I recently had a cousin commit suicide. The hardest part about depression is, when we need help the most, is when we are stuck within ourselves the most, and we rarely reach out for help.

To answer your question, how did we handle so much good music? THERE WAS NO INTERNET, so we listened to the radio. And if we heard a new song we liked, we listened closely to hear the DJ announce who it was. And if we missed it, we would probably hear it again soon and would catch the name then. AND THEN WE WOULD GO TO TOWER RECORDS or some other record store and buy tapes, vinyl, and CDs (depending on the decade). OR if you were real young or couldn't afford to buy CDs, you might have recorded your own tape from the radio like I did and listen to your favorite songs that way.
Yeah, I used to tape songs off the radio. I would try to start the tape recorder just before the next song was about to start. If it wasn't a song I liked, I would stop the tape, rewind it back to the end of the last song, and try again on the next song. Sometimes I would call the station and request songs I wanted to record. I still have tapes that I recorded in the 70's.
Boston is and always will be one of the best bands ever. You'd probably enjoy Rush as well. Subdivisions and Spirit of the Radio are just a drop in the bucket of quality music.
Real music, real musicians and real talent. We were and are so lucky to have grown up with stuff like this. Wasn’t about glitz and glamour, it was all about the music
Let’s just say our house was constantly filled with music… my older brother playing his guitar in the bedroom, his band in the garage… the stereo in the living room… the piano, an insane amount of good energy. I did a lot of dancing and air guitar as the little sister. I am so glad we had such talented musicians to listen to. This brings back great memories! To my brother “it’s been such a long time” I will see you again!!!! To those that are sad and depressed …hang on and keep looking for answers… don’t leave before your time. You are love and love is more powerful than anything. Listen to NDE’s ..they are amazing. We are here for a purpose!!! You can find beauty and joy again. 😘
So grateful I saw Brad Delp sing this live. Drove 6 hrs. to Detroit to see them kickass in concert. Thanks. To the person who requested this, hang in there, I try to look at it this way, in life, some have it better than me, and some have it worse, and to focus on the latter more. Depression can be horrible. Anxiety is just as bad when ya have both. Hang in there, many of us suffer with it.
I was 15-years-old when this came out and I bought the 8-track tape. Listened to that album non-stop for a month. We were spoiled with all the great music in the 70’s.
Boston is definitely on another level. They had one of the most famous and best selling debut albums of all time, and the second one is almost as good. The band leader, Tom Sholtz, is a perfectionist who did all his own mixing and built a special effects guitar. The lead singer, Brad Delp, had one of the most joyful voices in rock history, but sadly succumbed to depression himself as he aged.
This is one of my desert island albums, one of the songs I could play on repeat for the rest of my life, and one of the songs I want played at my funeral. Pure unmitigated musical and engineering genius on display.
Remember when this came out everybody !!!! we are so damn lucky that we grew up in this era!! playing the cassette in my car as a senior in high school ...OMG!!! I am still speechless after all these years ....how great this album was! and dont forget then we went home and got the album out and scoured over the album the inner sleeve....You young people will never have that experience and dont even understand it!! God I am blessed !!! take away everything from me I have this to remember and keep me going!
I've always said how lucky I was to grow up in the 70's. We were spoiled with all the music that was out there. These were the days when everyone listened to the radio. No matter where you were there'd be a radio on. I remember listening to my transistor radio under the covers at night when I was supposed to be sleeping. They were simpler days. This was before internet , computers , iPods , video games , and even videos . People walked around with a radio in their hands. Who could blame us , with all that great music playing. People of my generation also knew how special Saturday mornings were , but that's for another time. Such great memories. Love your reactions and I can see how in awe you are of the older music. It's nice to see a young person enjoy our music. Peace.
Whatever you’re going thru, we are here and we understand the way other people can be closed minded. It’s your musical journey, have fun with it. When you love music, you’ve got a friend for life. You can turn to music when you feel some type of way....music can soothe your soul, uplift you,carry you and push you forward. Rock on 🤘😎❤️ Feelin Satisfied- that’s my fav Boston, but I loved these guys and saw them live- so good.In real time, we had a radio or jukebox or somebody’s stereo on all the time....so many great songs, just rollin out one after another. We are blessed to see generations going back and listening because talent is the common denominator with our “ old” music.
A Masterpiece! It grabs you in the feels every time! This song, this band is a sonic journey into love itself ❤️ Put this album on, close your eyes, lay back and enjoy the trip 😎 cya on the flip side ✌🏽😎👍🏽
Boston is my all time favorite band. I was lucky enough to see them in concert, and it was the best show I’ve seen. If you’re looking for some crazy guitar solos, you HAVE to listen to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I watch a lot of reaction videos but none of them put a smile on face like you do JB. Your love of music shines through and makes me feel like I’m hearing these songs for the first time with you.
I’m from Maine, saw these guys as a new band in New England back n “the day” before they made it big. Just couldn’t believe their sound. One of a kind. Beautiful music.
It is so great to see the joy on your face reacting to these great songs. Your emotions show like an open book and that’s how I know your reactions are real. Keep moving, keep living your music dreams.
The Mid portion of the intro is like a travel into space where the Rocket launcher deploys its Hubble into Orbit. This is so much more than a song, but an experience, like a Live Concert in Space and everyone is invited. I Love This Music and what I must say, is that Musicians of back in the day whether it be soul, or pop, and rock music, took such pride in their musical master pieces that they put out. It's beautiful this is what touches humanity. It's not white or black, red, pink, yellow or brown music. This is humanity
It's incredible to watch your reaction to this song. It was the same reaction all of us back in the day had, when this album came out! What's more incredible, is that when record companies heard demo's for this album and the demo's sounded nearly like the album, record companies refused to sign Boston to a record contract! What did we do back in the day, when all this music was coming out? Our internet back then was music magazines, reading to see when bands were going to put out a new album and listening to the radio, to hear new music. Then, spending hours in record stores, thumbing through all the vinyl records. It was great time to grow up!
I love your sincerely joyful reaction to one of my all-time favorite songs, it helps me appreciate it as if I was hearing it again for the first time. You seem like a genuine dude, I wish you the best of luck in all you do.
The music of our youth! And now its the music of your youth as well. Happy to see you discovering all this great music. EVERY SONG on this album is great and waiting for you to discover. Please also read up on how this album was made it is a great story.
Hey JBLETHAL! I am 61yrs old. Born in 1960. I grew up through the VERY BEST YEARS of music, EVER! It's so wonderful to see you enjoying everything that is a huge part of my life. I have seen many, many of these people/bands, in concert in St. Louis, Mo and every one of them was fantastic! Keep up the great channel, Bro! You bring back so many great memories for me. Thank you.
We had the best music. We had best bands. We had the best time ever. I’ve never heard anybody say they prefer rap after listening to good rock and roll! I love watching all these guys reacting and loving our music!
This was their first album, and probably the best first album in history. Listen to everything on this album. Yes, we GenXers were spoiled by having so much great music!
Fun fact: This Album was recorded in Tom Scholz's basement studio. Makes it even more impressive. I was a junior in high school when this came out. Couldn't get enough of it. Love Boston!
Love your reaction, and you are right, we had great music back then in '76 I was 28yo. (I'm 73 years young, and still have guitars I bought new in 1964, Martin, Gibson, Fenders) and 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, and 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) 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. So when you get your guitar START PLAYING and don't give up on it !! Play from your heart, you'll do fine !! Keep up the good work.
Raised in the 60s and 70s. The music in the 70s was so great that every following decade was a little disappointing. My teenage years was filled with the best music ever. I am blessed.
LB... Know what...I really appreciate hearing what people your age think of our music. I think we all knew we had amazing music but I think we took it for granted at times. Looking back (70's) I really am thankful I got to listen to that music first hand. But hearing reactions from you and others... really makes my day... thank you! And yeah... the 70's was king an l as far as rock goes and 1977, in my opinion was THEE BEST...Boston was king in 1977!!! Enjoy traveling through the 70's you won't be disappointed 😁😁😁
The '70s was hands down the best decade for rock and roll music, there was something for everyone. If we really liked a song we bought the album and/or drove the DJs crazy with request. It was an awesome time to be a teenager.
Sometimes I would sit in my Dads truck,even when snow was coming down, just listening, waiting for my favorite songs to play. Daydreaming that I could do what they did.
This music is the soundtrack of our lives if you were lucky enough to be around when this came out, 1976.....I wonder if today's music will still have the same nostalgic coolness after 40+ years.
I definitely recommend you check out more from Boston, they have so many great songs. The whole album this song came from is awesome. Probably their best work. Their later stuff didn't reach the same success except for with true Boston fans. * Don't worry about being "too deep". That's exercising your mind & soul, that makes you stand out. Be yourself. ✌❤👊
During the mid 70s to early 80s, I watched very little tv and was usually in my bedroom. Even when doing homework the music was playing either through the speakers or my headphones. Me and my generation witnessed the debut albums of many great artists: Eagles, Steely Dan, Styx, Heart, Doobie Brothers, Boston, Rush, Foreigner, Toto, Journey, Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac, Ambrosia, and The Police - just to name a few. Before MTV, before VH1, there were Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special, Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, American Bandstand, Soul Train, and Soundstage. On top of that, we also listened to acts from the 50s and 60s. Many of us listened Top 40, rock, pop, and r & b. The music was always playing both at home and on the road. So, we listened every chance we got and still listen now to try to get to everything. It's great to know that this music brings you joy, too! Keep up the great reactions James!
I enjoyed this reaction. I could tell by your face you were thoroughly enjoying Boston. I think that’s why people want you to listen to their suggestions- we know there is so much great original music yet to hear.
This kind of music is WHY we were happier back then. We didn't listen to songs that made us mad. Music was something to enjoy, put you in a good mood, pick you up if you were down, jam with your friends, or jam alone. It was a good time anytime you played music. And you could play music just about any time, so we generally were happier people as a result of it.
Awesome, spectacular, amazing arrangement, multiple blended guitars and incredible vocals! Wow, I've been watching you for at least a couple years now, and I was just sure you had done Boston. Well, you're in for a MASSIVE treat! You MUST do More Than A Feeling (their most popular song and my favorite), Don't Look Back, Peace Of Mind, and Amanda! You will receive more musical nirvana than you can contain! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
When you want to float, forget yourself for a short time, Boston, in the dark, loud, on headphones, is like a sonic pool. Peace, for a time. If you love it now, try it sometime, alone, in the quiet hours, and lose yourself in it for a while.
this particular album is one of the greatest rock albums of all time, every song is a classic. you should really consider reacting to every song on it.
Fascinating story about how Boston was formed. Thomas Scholz, the guitarist, engineer, song writer of the band, did not even have the band formed when he sold his demo to the record company. Amazing story.
Boston has and will always me my favorite band! Brad Delp is the man! RIP brother! Look up the band Beetlejuice, He sang with them after Boston, they were a Beatles cover band that even played at school dances.
You have a Very Wise family, JBLETHAL. I love watching your reactions to "my" music from the '60s and '70s....it brings back memories -- some are painful -- and takes me back to a whole different place. But even the painful memories have become less "traumatic" over time. Time does keep on rolling and what seems like the most important thing in the world today will always be replaced by something more important in the future. Keep on enjoying and soaking in all of this beautiful music. It will all serve you well in the years to come....trust me....💖 🌟💫💛
The lead singer is Brad Delp. He was one of the Top vocalists of the seventies & Eighties. Unfortunately, he took his own life. Depression is a hard thing to deal with.🥲

I was buying 8 tracks
And the concerts were fantastic! It seemed like there was a concert every week.
Peaches Records and Tapes. Also met many bands there and got autographs.
Me too!
Boston is and always will be one of the best bands ever. You'd probably enjoy Rush as well. Subdivisions and Spirit of the Radio are just a drop in the bucket of quality music.
I was a teenager in the 70's. We had an insane amount of amazing music! I feel blessed to have experienced it.

Real music, real musicians and real talent. We were and are so lucky to have grown up with stuff like this. Wasn’t about glitz and glamour, it was all about the music
Brad Delp, imho was one of, if not the best, male rock vocalists ever. You gotta do " More Than a Feeling". His range will astound you.
Him and Paul Rogers.
I still shake my head in amazement when I listen “More Than A Feeling.” Incredible vocals! Incredible song!
He took his life through carbon monoxide poisoning 😢 What a waste.

Back in the day when musicians actually had talent. One of my favorite blasting the radio and driving songs.
The anticipation this song generates is epically insane...like no other😍😱🙌
When we heard these songs they trickled out over time. I can't imagine getting hit with all this greatness at one time.

Back in the 60’s and 70’s we listened to albums from start to finish. We had such a variety to choose from. Loved Boston!
Another band from Boston with an amazing debut album is The Cars!
@@bostonwhofan Just another band outta Boston on the road to try to make ends meet..... were The Cars.
"Since Your Gone" is one of my faves.
We listened to the Albums...had to stop to turn them over!
Boston! The first ever concert I got to go to at 15 years old. Unforgettable. Went to lots of concerts after that.
I’m from Maine, saw these guys as a new band in New England back n “the day” before they made it big. Just couldn’t believe their sound. One of a kind. Beautiful music.
Definitely one of the best rock vocalist of all times. A bit of a perfectionist, but it showed in the songs.
Man you gotta do Boston’s More Than A Feeling if you haven’t yet keep on rockin 🤘🏻🤘🏻✌🏻out!!
ABSOLUTELY
AND 'Don't look back'!!!
And Smokin'
Gotta due the whole first album!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget “Hitch A Ride”. One of the best guitar outros I’ve ever heard.
I love to see the pure joy when someone discovers a great group or song they didn’t know about. ✌🏻

Major high school memories tied up with this band. Check out "Feelin' Satisfied" from their second album. One of my favorite songs from them.
Boston out on a fantastic love show! I was able to see them 2x Brad was an awesome singer! R.I.P Me Delp!🤘👊🎸
we used to travel to bowling tournaments listening to Boston in the car.....what a great time it was!

Isn't it something how all the noise blends so beautifully and creates art?
This was their first album, and probably the best first album in history. Listen to everything on this album. Yes, we GenXers were spoiled by having so much great music!
I hoped for so long you would get to Boston... thank you so much!!! Love, love Boston and countless others!!!
Fun fact: This Album was recorded in Tom Scholz's basement studio. Makes it even more impressive. I was a junior in high school when this came out. Couldn't get enough of it. Love Boston!
More Than A Feeling, Peace of Mind, Hitch A Ride, Rock N Roll Band, Smokin! You'll love all of those, JB.
I'm so glad that I grew up when I did, but watching you reactors discovering our music I'm reliving my youth through your eyes.
Everything Boston!!! ❤❤❤
Love your reaction, and you are right, we had great music back then in '76 I was 28yo. (I'm 73 years young, and still have guitars I bought new in 1964, Martin, Gibson, Fenders) and 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, and 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)
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. So when you get your guitar START PLAYING and don't give up on it !! Play from your heart, you'll do fine !! Keep up the good work.
- - - Overwhelmed, but
Overjoyed !!! That's so cool -
You are like a precious gem! I just love to watch how you feel the music! It's really a beautiful and genuine reaction. Much love!
Raised in the 60s and 70s. The music in the 70s was so great that every following decade was a little disappointing. My teenage years was filled with the best music ever. I am blessed.
Yes, those of us who grew up in this era were truly blessed.
We were SO SPOILED back then. It was like, "yeah, that was a great album, so what are they going to do next?". We were so spoiled.
Guilty ✌️♥️
So true! Sometimes even, 'That song AGAIN?"when listening to the radio~ We didn't know, man.
yes we were....I remember when the album came out. Had it on vinyl with all the cracks and pops....
But it was sooo awesome!
Yep.
Boston is "Feel good music" - you can't go wrong with this band.
GREAT Highway music!
The Entire 'More Than a Feeling' Album was lit!!
BOSTON.... Legends
I love listening to all my old favorites with you, it makes me just lose myself in the music and not think about anything else!!
LB... Know what...I really appreciate hearing what people your age think of our music. I think we all knew we had amazing music but I think we took it for granted at times. Looking back (70's) I really am thankful I got to listen to that music first hand.
But hearing reactions from you and others... really makes my day... thank you!
And yeah... the 70's was king an l as far as rock goes and 1977, in my opinion was THEE BEST...Boston was king in 1977!!!
Enjoy traveling through the 70's you won't be disappointed 😁😁😁
The '70s was hands down the best decade for rock and roll music, there was something for everyone. If we really liked a song we bought the album and/or drove the DJs crazy with request. It was an awesome time to be a teenager.
Enjoy your musical journey. So much wonderful music 🎶 to hear.
The whole album is a must hear! Every song is gold!!
Sometimes I would sit in my Dads truck,even when snow was coming down, just listening, waiting for my favorite songs to play. Daydreaming that I could do what they did.
Yes! The build up on these songs were incredible!
This music is the soundtrack of our lives if you were lucky enough to be around when this came out, 1976.....I wonder if today's music will still have the same nostalgic coolness after 40+ years.
The best thing about watching your channel is that you go deep, and we hear about your life. Thank you for sharing with us.
I definitely recommend you check out more from Boston, they have so many great songs. The whole album this song came from is awesome. Probably their best work. Their later stuff didn't reach the same success except for with true Boston fans.
* Don't worry about being "too deep". That's exercising your mind & soul, that makes you stand out. Be yourself. ✌❤👊
Awesome reaction!! In the 70s life revolved around music...nothing can touch that decade. 🌠
Bought this album in 77 in junior high, even with Rush, Zeppelin, The Who, Skynyrd, Pink Floyd this was always one of my favorite albums.
This is the soundtrack to millions of 70s keggers. Great memories.
During the mid 70s to early 80s, I watched very little tv and was usually in my bedroom. Even when doing homework the music was playing either through the speakers or my headphones. Me and my generation witnessed the debut albums of many great artists: Eagles, Steely Dan, Styx, Heart, Doobie Brothers, Boston, Rush, Foreigner, Toto, Journey, Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac, Ambrosia, and The Police - just to name a few. Before MTV, before VH1, there were Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special, Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, American Bandstand, Soul Train, and Soundstage. On top of that, we also listened to acts from the 50s and 60s. Many of us listened Top 40, rock, pop, and r & b. The music was always playing both at home and on the road. So, we listened every chance we got and still listen now to try to get to everything. It's great to know that this music brings you joy, too! Keep up the great reactions James!
I enjoyed this reaction. I could tell by your face you were thoroughly enjoying Boston. I think that’s why people want you to listen to their suggestions- we know there is so much great original music yet to hear.
This kind of music is WHY we were happier back then. We didn't listen to songs that made us mad. Music was something to enjoy, put you in a good mood, pick you up if you were down, jam with your friends, or jam alone. It was a good time anytime you played music. And you could play music just about any time, so we generally were happier people as a result of it.
"More Than A Feelin', Peace of Mind, Smokin', Lookin Back", Rock N Roll Band, Boston is untouchable. Always listen to your Grandpa.
One of my all time favorite bands. That whole album is a masterpiece. Please do "More than a Feeling"
Awesome, spectacular, amazing arrangement, multiple blended guitars and incredible vocals! Wow, I've been watching you for at least a couple years now, and I was just sure you had done Boston. Well, you're in for a MASSIVE treat! You MUST do More Than A Feeling (their most popular song and my favorite), Don't Look Back, Peace Of Mind, and Amanda! You will receive more musical nirvana than you can contain! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
One of my very first rock albums. Truly truly iconic
When you want to float, forget yourself for a short time, Boston, in the dark, loud, on headphones, is like a sonic pool. Peace, for a time. If you love it now, try it sometime, alone, in the quiet hours, and lose yourself in it for a while.
"Come on let us give your mind a ride."
Jamel sent me man, so here I am all subbed up.
The entire album, every song got radio play... Boston all over the radio for months and months...!
this particular album is one of the greatest rock albums of all time, every song is a classic. you should really consider reacting to every song on it.
Fascinating story about how Boston was formed. Thomas Scholz, the guitarist, engineer, song writer of the band, did not even have the band formed when he sold his demo to the record company. Amazing story.
Saw Boston in Nashville, Tennessee at Starwood Amphitheater back in 1987.
Gotta love Boston auuuh! the 70's
Your smile and joy for music is contagious! Love your channel! Rock on!!
Boston has and will always me my favorite band!
Brad Delp is the man! RIP brother!
Look up the band Beetlejuice, He sang with them after Boston, they were a Beatles cover band that even played at school dances.
You have a Very Wise family, JBLETHAL. I love watching your reactions to "my" music from the '60s and '70s....it brings back memories -- some are painful -- and takes me back to a whole different place. But even the painful memories have become less "traumatic" over time. Time does keep on rolling and what seems like the most important thing in the world today will always be replaced by something more important in the future. Keep on enjoying and soaking in all of this beautiful music. It will all serve you well in the years to come....trust me....💖 🌟💫💛
The lead singer is Brad Delp. He was one of the Top vocalists of the seventies & Eighties. Unfortunately, he took his own life. Depression is a hard thing to deal with.🥲
Boston’s Long Time and Wayward son from Kansas are two classic rock masterpieces.
