Still one of the best debut rock albums ever.
Without a doubt!
Almost every song from this album hit the radio stations at some point.
Always will be.
FS
This and the Cars' first album are in contention for best debut album. Both from Boston. Must have been quite the miusic scene there in the 70s.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Peace Of Mind"!!!! Brad Delp had one of the greatest voices in rock!!!
Agree. Without Delps vocals they would've been just a good band, not a great band.
The whole album.
Boston, enough said! Great song, great album, great band!
Rock n Roll band
Everybody's waiting
Gettin crazy
Anticipating
LOVE AND MUSIC!
Now people are singing about their WAP. SMFH. So glad people are going back in time to discover real music created by people with real talent. Especially when it's two awesome people like y'all. God bless you!
Can't go wrong with Boston.
Many assumed it was the story of the band because the lyrics are in the first person and they sing about being from Boston, which they are, but that's not the case. Group leader Tom Scholz wrote the song based on conversations he had with Jim Masdea, a drummer who often collaborated with Scholz and had lots of war stories from playing in various bands. Masdea was always telling Scholz about struggling bands trying to get signed to record contracts
Well, to tell the whole story, Tom had experience with this phenomena as he had to struggle to get their 1st contract. He did do the studio recordings with Jim and Brad but, when it came to sign on the dotted line, they had to put together the whole band to show they could do it live. Thus, the song rings true!
I saw them live in 1997, this album was already over 20 years old, but they still sounded exactly like the album. I was very surprised how good they were live.
I saw them in 1977
I saw them in Columbus, Ohio in 1995! Outdoor amphitheatre, totally sounded even better than their cassette tapes, and CDs, un-freaking-real it was! #1 band on the planet, forever!!!
One of my all time favorite rock bands classic sound
Dang good rock song. Incredible playing, beat, singing. They got everything right with this song.
First album I ever owned. Got it in 1977 when I was almost 13 and wore it out. Had never heard anything like it. 45 years later I still turn up the volume when I play their music in the car or anywhere 🙂
It really is a great picture of the life of these bands sacrificing everything for their
music. It wasn't about money or fame or anything like that. They truly believed in
what they were doing. Such a great band.
Yes, this was a song about their history. One of the greatest bands in my book. They had such a signature sound. So many hits from their first album. This brings back many fun memories of my younger days. You kids have to check out more of their tunes, ya hear?
Not exactly. Yes, Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, and Barry Goudreau played together in bar bands at various times, but the band Boston never played live until after the first album was released.
@@fudhater8592 Live? I didn't mention live.
@@lewistasso8866 No, but the song mentions it
@@fudhater8592 True. Understood. That's right. I was thinking the overall.
Loved them since I was really little, I’m 20 now. Gotta keep these great bands and the music alive.
The 70's was a awesome time to be a teenager
You can't go wrong with Boston, such a feel-good band. Their energy is fun after a long day at work or driving down the highway.
You're correct BJ. The times when the bands struggled seem to forge them into a tight unit. The Beatles went through that as well... absolutely genuine and real.
Yes yes yes! ❤❤❤ Gosh it was such a ride to see these bands in bars back in the day and follow them until now!!!! What an experience that nothing can ever compare to! First time I saw Boston was with fog hat. Next thing I know they are selling out festivals and stadiums!!!!
Boston AND Foghat in one night??? That had to be one hell of a show! Totally jealous, lol.
This sure makes me miss my younger days of playing clubs in a rock & roll band in the 70s & 80s !
The whole album is a banger. I was 13 when this came out and I was hooked. Great album to drive with on a cruise.
another flawless perfect rock song, beautiful vocal harmonies, killer guitar, Sholz' mile high production values, not a note out of place. incredibly satisfying piece of music that never seems to get old.
Great tune...... great album..... great reaction! Thank you again for putting a smile on my face.... needed it today! God Bless!
Boston, Journey and Bad Company My Favs!!
One of there best songs. Rhythm,vocals, story. It's all good
Asia/BJ- this song came off their debut album which is considered a “Perfect Album”, well produced and not a bad song front to back.
Glad you guys found them out BOSTON is one of the most underrated rock bands from the late 70s and 80s. Great music.
Underrated? Can't agree with that.
Under rated. I don't know about that . Their songs were constantly on the radio and everyone had this album.
That opening riff just catapults you with full Rock energy. Brad Delp, the epitome of a lead vocalist. Kick Ass all the way
Boston was really just one man instrumentally - Tom Scholz! He wrote all the music, and played every instrument on the albums, he knew Brad Delp from another band in Boston and got him for the vocals. When they toured, it was only Tom and Brad on stage that had been in the studios.
I saw this tour in Hartford Ct. Rick Derringer was the opening act and recorded Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo for Derringer Live! Amazing Concert!
When Tom Scholz (guitar) of Boston wrote this song, he had never been on tour w/ a band... it was "pure fantasy".
No one anticipated that the 1976 debut album by Boston would sell over 16 million copies in the US and launched the band to superstar status... However, success would eventually destroy the original band that never made a 3rd album (which was recorded by Scholz, Brad Delp and new members of Boston). From that point on, Boston was Tom Scholz's show as people came & went from the band.
Had a friend who was backstage at one of their concerts after they hit, and the cocaine was flowing.
Tom also wanted wild, spacey sounds from his guitar but there were no pedals then that did what he wanted. So .. he invented the "Rockman" amplifier to get those tones out of his guitar. Check out a demo on YT. Tom is a genius!
Well this is your fifth reaction from Boston’s first album. Three more to go! Maybe the best debut album by any artist. It’s certainly in the running. Great pick as always. ❤️❤️❤️ Here’s a trivia question. What albums have you reacted to at least five songs? 😂😂😂
Late 70s rock. Some of the best.
I saw them when I was a really young teenager way back in the day - still one of the best concerts I've ever seen : )
One of my favorite debut albums ever
Now this is music!!! Love Boston❤️❤️🎶🎸🎶🎸
Yes probably the best debut album ever…Thanks for sharing them… I have listened to several of your videos covering Boston songs, and totally enjoy them…Blessings!
I remember living in Hyannis during my summer breaks from college back in the early 90s and blasting this on the radio. In their early days they used to play at a bar called Guido Murphy’s which is still a bar by another name in the same location today.
The harmonies are outstanding
This whole album is great. Every song is so good.
Arena Rock is the best way to describe Boston's style.
i loves these bands like Boston GOOD feeling music.
This album is ear candy from start to finnish! Every track on this album is still played on the radio today!
One of the best debute albums of all time. Hitch a ride!😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Not the story of the band, as it's easy to assume. It started as one man in his basement who made the album by himslef (with the singer and drummer he hired), and it was an instant success by the tiem he had a full band to tour with.
Fantastic album! My brother was a drummer in a band back in the 80's and they played this song to death, and worth every minute!
So many groups wrote what really happened- This was one, Grand Funk Railroad "We are an American Band"- Bob Seger, "Turn the page"---
Love, love, love me some Boston! Foreplay/Long Time and More Than A Feeling! Their entire debut album is great, not a bad song on it.
I just love how much you both love all types of music. ❤
Ya. The seventys started a whole new era in music. Lots of god gifted talents and new evolutions in instruments. Mind the fifty's and sixties we're good. But legendary musicians and vocalist had to really compete. Music hit another level. And then the classic rock eighties hit. Wow what a ride. I was ten years old in 1975. Wow like I said, what a ride from there.
That is almost the same story with every classic rock band from the 70's ! Some of the biggest most famous classic rock bands in the beginning had to struggle and fight to be heard ! Hell that basically happened with Tina Turner At the start of her solo career !
Yes this song is exactly talking about how they began, it was very Real !!
This is the song they would start their concert with.... Seen em twice back in the day.... just unbelievable....
They literally play every song on this album on the radio
Boston is TIMELESS!!!!
An interview with Tom Scholz confirmed this is actually how they got signed.
It's fun watching you enjoy a song I enjoy....!! GREAT CHANNEL
Reminds me of the time I went with some friends, drove from Montreal to Cape Cod, was my first time seeing the ocean
Hyannis is one town over from me and is as close to a city as your going to get around here. Four story's is as close to a skyscraper as you get around here.. So yes i have danced is the streets of Hyannis : )
This song was forshadowing their success like AC/DC's 'It's a Long Way to the Top'
Those experiences are were the best songs come from and its more valued when you hear the back story of how they came up with some of the lyrics. Tom Schults interview here on TH-cam is a must see.
I was in high school when this record dropped. Everybody had it blasting out of their cars and, when they came to Macon, GA, everybody stood in line for advance tickets. It was so much easier to get tickets that way, without using Ticketmaster and such, and concerts were a whole lot cheaper. Believe it or not, you could see 3 top-named bands for as little as $6.00.
Brings back fond memories of going to the record store to buy concert tickets for cheap! "Long as im here, what have they got in recently..."
Somewhere I don't know where in Connecticut is the cut off between new Yankees country and Boston red Sox country, it also the cut off between the north east and New England. Where this town is I have searched all my life to find it.
Such a great song from them!
I'm late to the party, but another great reaction, y'all. One little point for fun -- "everybody knew our name" is a little joke; their name is Boston, so everybody knows the band name even if they don't know the band. Cheers!
That was when they had fantastic bar bands
Check out " Party " next. Boston is an iconic band.
Greatest "Big Lie" ever, and damn it was magnificent.
Well we’re fogged in Boston tonight where it’s snowing/raining and freezing.
Boston was huge back in the day
Being from Mass, this was a required purchase when it came out. Well, it seemed like it. Great, great music!!
Mt favorite Boston song
Played this album so many times it actually warped the record. Still love Boston all these years later
You know the ironic thing about that first Boston album? It laid the blueprint for what people derisively called "arena rock" or "corporate rock" for years - bands like Journey, Styx, Foreigner, etc. - but yet it was basically exactly like a viral home recording project today. It's absolutely the most homemade smash hit album in rock history. It was the instrumental vision of one man, Tom Scholz, coupled with the none-of-a-kind vocals of Brad Delp singing Queen-like harmonies with himself, and drummer Sib Hashian underpinning it all - and the actual band was put together after the project got picked up by Epic Records. It was the furthest possible thing from "corporate" - one guy and two or three of his buddies invented the sound of late 70s and early 80s rock in his basement.
Which, by the way, is also to say that the backstory in this song is just that, a story. They had an idea to write a banger of a song about a hard-working band that hits it big - and wrote and recorded it in Tom Scholz's basement, LOL.
Hell yea. Can’t go wrong with Boston
"So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star", The Byrd's. ✌️
And yet another gem from Boston's debut album. Great reaction (from your friend in Boston - the city).
Timeline on this album was when Disco was hitting bigger than rock. It afforded the birth of Punk Rock via Great Britain. Their willingness to stand out ushered in the androgynous era with Twisted Sister, Poison, Motly Crew etc.
Growing up in this, if I never have to see a Satin Leasure Jacket again. Don't forget the velvet track suit
More Boston please👍👍👍👍🤟
This song's like a strong cup of coffee ☕
You guys would love The Load Out/Stay by Jackson Browne. Another backstage musician's take on making music in the business.
Really captures the vibe
Every single song on this album is great. This song really isn't about the band Boston though. The band Boston was created by Tom Scholz in the basement of his rented house where he built a sound recording studio and even created some of the equipment used to create that "Boston Sound" and record the first album. One the best sounding rock albums ever recorded.
They were so awesome that Massachussetes decided to name a city after them!
Number 1 album of all time….period.
Boston "Livin' for you"
The rock n roll dream begins ridin' from gig to gig in a beat up van.
Great song, and great reaction! I was getting a little charged up for the next song, "Smokin", which is also great.
Back in 1976 this album was all over FM radio
👏🏼 Thank you guy’s you’re the best as always👍🏼 I remember Boston’s music sounding different from all the rock from the era..no way it could be called classic rock the friggin music sounded like it was from the future..then the album cover I of course thought was a spaceship🤦🏻♂️(I think it was really a guitar or something)gotta understand I wasn’t a smart kid..seriously though your Boston reactions are always great but I don’t get it people still haven’t sent you a lot of really good ones and Im putting my foot down can’t let this go on any longer..I gotta pretty good idea the kinda Boston song’s you two like the best they’re the same as mine it’s that “Arena Rock” studio sound which is def.my favorite too..Ok here it goes my friends a few more Boston classics that I think you’ll really like and haven’t done before(Watch every one will already be on the playlist..oh no I’ll cry) OK Ready?? Here we go..”Feelin Satisfied” “Something about you” “Piece of mind” “We’re ready” 👍🏼 God Bless my friend’s enjoy🙏🏼 I’ll think of more
I sure dig that old skool Atlanta Falcons hat you wearing ✌💖☮
Love Boston and love your knowledge and reactions!
It's crazy how much Jani Lane (late, great singer from the band Warrant), sounded like Brad. Especially when Jani would high those high notes.
Not sure if BJ and Asia knew who Jani was.
Love on you guys!
🙏🤘🏼❤️👍
If there was ever one band that came out with a debut album of this magnitude, and could quit making albums. This would the the band AND the album!!!!
In various other Genres there are a few of the same concept. The Clash-The Clash, Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath, Ramones-The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix-Are You Experienced, NWA-Straight Outta Compton, Zep-Zep etc. Thank goodness we got more from all of them including Boston.
@@toddstevens13 👍
I would like to thank you, Asia, for starting the "shoulder groove" thing for me. I just have to remember that due to my neurological condition, I have to do the shoulder groove when no one is around or they'll think I'm starting to have a seizure! 😉
Two guys recorded this song and the rest of this album.
This was done in Tom Scholzs basement
new ya'll would like this one i love to hear it before a concert it gets everyone exited !
This songs story makes think about the song Jukebox Hero by Foreigner.
One of cleanest crispest rock albums recorded.
Boston has been beaten to hell by the radio.. but I still love em!.. small dices..😉
This was the opening song when I heard them live in the fall of 1978. Sammy Hagar warmed up for them. Great concert!
I was at that Concert pairing in Toronto that year. The Red Rocker ripped it up, then Boston put everyone away. Interesting pairing at the time. Almost like when Bob Seger opened for Kiss at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in 79 I think. Poor Bob got booed of the stage by the 13 year olds. What the hell was Bob Seger opening for KISS?
Pretty sure Boston members didn’t sell out..they are the real thing
A real feel good party song❤
One of Boston's best songs, with some true to life stories, and some ripping guitar work by Tom Scholz, screaming vocals by Brad Delp (RIP), and stellar backing work by Sib Hashian (great Afro) on Drums, Barry Oakley on Bass and damn it I can't remember the other guitar player's name right now. Someone out there will know.
Barry Gaudreau
Jim Masdea plays drums on this track (stated in the liner notes). The other guitarist you're trying to think of is Barry Goudreau. Fran Sheehan was their bass player. However, on this song I believe Scholz plays all guitar tracks & bass.
@@roccaclassico9028 Fran Sheehan and Barry Goudrerau, Thank You. Think I got my Bass players mixed up, Barry Oakley was in The Allman Brothers Band. Oops. Yeah, Fran Sheehan and Barry Goudreau. Jim Maseda did the drums, no Sib. But Sib had the best hair ever, no doubt there.
@@pablogrodriguezvolmar2409 Thanks man.
This song tells the story of every bands dream which they actually lived. Unfortunately things got ugly.
Have you reacted to Amanda? I think it is an overlooked awesome song!
