Brad Delp was so incredible, he was known to hit notes only dogs could hear! This entire album is one of thee GOAT Rock albums ever created. This album was a masterpiece.
I wore out so many eight-tracks in my day. Back then, a good, long day at the beach would ruin an eight-track....car doors open and blasting an album, on repeat, for hours. We never just bought an album once. We listened to it until the tape wore out and we would go buy it again. Went through a lot of car batteries too, lol.
@@MarvRoberts iI was 16 IN 1976 When this FANTASTIC LP Came out , Us 70s Kids WERE VERY SPOILED BRATS ,, 8 of the top 25 BIGGEST SELLING LPS In The U,S ,, Are from the 1970s And when you here a tv Chemercial today most are from the 70s ,,
With you there brother..I had the 8track and would roll the windows down blast it through my 4 craig mind blower speakers .All perched up on the rear shelf of my 73 impala. Greatest times of my life.
She’s like “why do I think I’ve heard that part before?” More than a Feeling is arguably one of Boston’s most popular songs, and a rock n roll legend of a song
Not bad for a guy that recorded this album in his basement (well a majority of it anyway). That would be *Tom Scholz* ( also invented some of the guitar effects used later in the 80s he created the Rockman guitar preamp) and singer *Brad Delp (RIP)*. Other songs that might interest you on this album *Hitch A Ride, Piece Of Mind, Smokin', Something About You*. The second and third albums are gems too.
And how in the World did Tom just happen to have a Buddy down the street with one of the Finest Rock Vocals of All Time, as the perfect meshing for his Special abilities?
Third Stage tour in 1987 is one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Tom Scholz is so underrated, reading the inside cover of the Third Stage album blew my mind.
I'm not sure we can nail it down to one single song but I definitely would not argue with you on it either! I was to young to be paying attention to music when this song came out and I first heard it the summer before starting college and I was immediately a fan!
Ah, Boston! That song absolutely lit up the late '70s like you wouldn't believe, and there's not a weak song on that album. Try "Hitch a Ride" and let them take your mind on a ride.
Great reaction to a classic. Many Thanks. Decades later this music is still being played. Like Bob Segar sings: "Today's music ain't got the same soul. I love that old time Rock and Roll".
Arguably the most beautiful pop/rock songs of all time along with "Over the Hills and Far Away". The lyrics of VERY few songs touch me as much as this one does, partly because I was 18 when it came out, and later had a crush on a girl named Mary Anne................Youth is Dead (for some of us), Long Live Youth!!!!!!!!
As someone that has listened to everything over the decades , from Rod Stewart to Sting, to Madonna , to Run DMC, The Doobie Brothers .....all the way to Guns n Roses, Paramore, Rae Smurd. Ruff Ryders, Timbaland, Jodeci, Envogue. Metal, RnB, Hip Hop, Synthwave , Jazz and even Grunge. I consider More Than a Feeling to be my favorite song of all time. An I've listened to alot of different songs. No song hits me harder than this one. I first heard it in 79 and even then it blew my mind. Still does in 2021.
The song never ever ever gets old. It is immaculately written, arranged, performed, and recorded. Rest in peace Bradley Delp. He sings with the angels now. He's their frontman
This song came out in the mid 70s, and it is still one of their most played songs on the radio. So I am sure you might have heard it at least a few times at some point in your life, even if you weren't paying attention too closely. Plus, seeing that you're a gamer, you might know this one from Guitar Hero. I'm not much into gaming, but a good friend of mine that is said this song from Boston is one of the most popular songs from the game. Personally, I absolutely love the guitar work on this song. I love the smooth rythmic sounds that Boston always seems to find. Mostly though, it's Brad Delp (RIP). It's easy to hear why he is referred to as the "Golden voice of Rock and Roll". Being able to hit and hold those high notes so effortlessly is nothing short of amazing!
This song just characterized how music can reach people. As a kid, i listened to so much much of Boston’s catalogue. Tom scholtz was an amazing engineer and Brad Delp with his beautiful vocals (rip). They have so much to the rock music environment. Thank you for enjoying!
Another great band that has a lead singer with an under rated voice is Air Supply. The son Can't Fight This Feeling, and Keep On Loving You are awesome.
You can't get more classic rock than this song (or this group) so you probably have definitely heard at least the chorus before. I've been hearing it since it came out when I was 14 and I'm 56 now... and I NEVER grow tired of it. : )
Again I grew up listening to this in my teen years. I was born on 1960 and keep getting drawn back to this era. I truly and honestly miss this type of music and sound to me nothing compares to it. Just a great time to grow up.
It seems as you mentioned that a lot of businesses today borrow heavily from classic rock to further their business needs in media. The flip counterpoint to this is a really old song by the easy listening duo "The Carpenters" (late 60s, early 70s) made a fortune on their hit "We've only Just Begun". That song was used a lot by couples getting married back then. Richard Carpenter actually wrote that entire song based on a bank commercial jingle. The exact opposite of what you are now discovering with classic rock songs now being used as business jingles... Peace and Happy New Year!
Played this 8 track tape over and over again....boston was my first concert in 1977....God bless you Brad....one of rocks best singers...thanks for the great tunes
This is recorded so well, and sounds so good, it’s hard to believe Tom and Brad recorded this album in the basement, and Tom played all the guitar parts and the bass.
Top Ten greatest rock songs of all time, with one of the greatest voices ever, R.I.P Brad Delp .... oh, a fun fact... this whole album was the demo that Tom Scholz started in his
My first time with a woman was to this song. Summer of 1995. I was 17, she was 22. I worked with her and really fell in love with her the moment we met. She came over to my house one day after work and my parents weren’t home. I put this album on the stereo and the rest is history. We’ve gone different directions in life over the last 25 years but today we’re still close friends. This is definitely a special song and album to me.
“It’s more than a feeling... when I hear that old song they used to play...and I begin dreaming...” ❤️ Shout out to the ENTIRE Third Stage album as well... wore that one out for sure!

For your first experience with Boston, you chose a very dynamic track with many transitions and a couple of surprises. Now you have reacted to the first track on side-one of the first album. Foreplay/Longtime is the third. I will challenge you to do every song on this first album. It stood as the best selling debut album for twenty years, and every track, even those that weren't released as singles, gets played on classic rock radio stations. I'm among the group of audio-files that consider this one of the very few "perfect" albums, for that reason. Many call this one song, the definitive Boston song for anyone who has never heard Boston before. The unique sounds you heard and spoke about in the previous reaction were created by the lead guitar player. He didn't even start playing guitar until age 22. He wanted to make the song sound the way he wanted it, so he built a small studio in the basement of the apartment he was living at the time. With the exception of the vocals, he wrote them all, and played every instrument. The band on the album were those who performed it when they played live shows. The record producers wanted him to record everything again in their studio. He was firm about it, but there was one more song, that was written by the singer, that was recorded in that California studio. It's good, but doesn't quite have that authentic Boston sound. You said in the other reaction how you heard "20,000 instruments." good catch. Here's just an example of it. The intro of this song sounds like just one acoustic guitar. It's actually twin 12 string acoustics in both left and right channel (recorded twice for each) plus a "clean" electric guitar in the center. Clean means that it didn't go through any special amplifiers or other devices to alter the actual sound the guitar makes. 12 Strings in a way are like two guitars each, because each pair of strings is the same note, but one is an octave higher, making it sound like two acoustics in each side plus the clean electric. Brad's voice of course sings all the words, and all the backups on the albums, and live performances, the other band members sing backup. In addition to that, Brad's voice is used as its own musical instrument, singing along with the lead electric in harmony, no words, just sound, creating a very unique sound. There is a video made of a professional musician in his studio where he takes this song apart, each little piece, and explains just how the song was made, and what makes it great. He did one other Boston song, and I'll give you a link if you ask. There are also a video of Tom explaining in a few minutes, in his persona studio how the Boston sound came to be. A Japanese company interviewed him and goes much further into the Boston sound. Both are great videos.
I'd be surprised if you'd never actually heard this. It's been all over radio & TV & movies since the late '70s. It's one of the most-played songs on classic rock radio. It's the opening track to their first album, which was initially released in 1976 & hardly anyone noticed...when it was re-released in 1978, at the peak of the disco era, it became one of the year's bestselling albums. I would recommend you check out "Don't Look Back", the title track from their 2nd album, next. As for the cover, it's both a guitar AND a spaceship.
You got the guitar thing. Kudos. Most just keep thinking it's a spaceship. This is one of the songs I crank up full blast and drum the steering wheel to...lol.
Those are spaceships and guitars, but did you also notice the city skylines inside the domes on the top (presumably meant to be Boston, though as a longtine resident of Boston, the skylines are merely suggestive of Boston -- artistic license).
This record existed before the band existed. The entire record was created in a basement by guitarist Tom Scholz. He actually invented electronics to create the sounds he wanted.
Boston is exact.. great observation about the pictures are guitars ! You are so good on how you let someone interrupt and then you go on test screen! It’s funny but cool💝 .
If u lived in the country u would open all the doors to the house, sit in a comfy chair (inside or outside) and BLAST this song (hell, the whole album) with some good smoke and enjoy !!! GREAT MEMORIES !!!
This is my all time favorite song ever!!!Thank you so much for doing a reaction to this song. His voice and those guitar melodies take me back to driving in my convertible down Highway 1 back in the day 🥰
Hey Jayy! The whole complete first Boston album is KILLER! One of these days,just put your headphones on and listen to the WHOLE album completely! It will take you to another place. EVERY song takes you on a journey. There's NOT a bad song on the whole album.
Great guitar riffs is this classic about love, lost, and regret. The band's founder Tom Scholz was a perfectionist which led him to a life of strife and be litigation but throughout all that turmoil Boston emerges as one of the greatest rock bands and sold over 75 million albums worldwide.
Jayy, this song is about we associate our personal experiences with the music we hear at the time. The songwriter (Tom Scholz) tells us how he woke up, turned on the radio, and a familiar song is playing that brings up his memories of the breakup with an ex-girlfriend named Mary Ann. The song he's hearing reminds him of his feelings as he watched her walk away. I think the vocals and guitar arrangement are executed so well that people don't think about the lyrics much. This is an iconic song of the Classic Rock era of the 1970s, which is why most people are familiar with the chorus section. Their debut album, released in 1976, has 8 songs (including this one), and all 8 still today get ample play on Rock radio stations. Next, from that same album, you need to listen to "Hitch a Ride", "Smokin'", and "Peace of Mind".
Yes jay you were right👍, Boston's classic "More than a feeling" it was used in a 2014 commercial for yogurt. The Connection? Yoplait's latest flavor is Boston Cream pie lite, "At 90 calories, it is so good..when you want More than a Feeling touts the tagline as cartoon swirls of yogurt colorfully circle the screen. 👍Ronny
Brad Delp Rest in peace is one of the most underrated vocalist ever he should get mentioned way more than he does
He belongs in the same category as Steve Perry from Journey.
@@toodlescae 💯
@@toodlescae And also Paul Rodgers from Free/Bad Company...
And Freddie.
Yessss!!!!!!!
the 1970's took their songwriting seriously. band members played the sh*t out of their instruments.
Brad Delp was so incredible, he was known to hit notes only dogs could hear! This entire album is one of thee GOAT Rock albums ever created. This album was a masterpiece.
So true.
One of my go-to albums if I need a lift!
THE best vocals on any rock song in the 70’s. That boy can sing and don’t you forget it RIP Brad
Boston is absolutely the cassette tape that I would turn up as loud as it would go and roll down the windows in my 1977 Chevy Impala.
same here 74 i even had it on 8 track
I wore out so many eight-tracks in my day. Back then, a good, long day at the beach would ruin an eight-track....car doors open and blasting an album, on repeat, for hours.

The music of my youth. The time when you could play album‘s front to back and every song was excellent.
Every song on this album is a masterpiece. Absolutely!
The most perfect rock n roll song ever made
I'm not sure we can nail it down to one single song but I definitely would not argue with you on it either! I was to young to be paying attention to music when this song came out and I first heard it the summer before starting college and I was immediately a fan!
Thank you, to whomever picked this for you!!!there is something about this song that always makes me close my eyes
That’s the weed talkin to ya
Never have touched the stuff.I just really like the song.
Ah, Boston! That song absolutely lit up the late '70s like you wouldn't believe, and there's not a weak song on that album. Try "Hitch a Ride" and let them take your mind on a ride.
Agree. My favorite. Excellent guitar in that song.
I love the song, Smokin'!
So many people have come and gone thier faces fade as the years go by so sad but true
Great reaction to a classic. Many Thanks. Decades later this music is still being played. Like Bob Segar sings: "Today's music ain't got the same soul. I love that old time Rock and Roll".
I had more than a feeling that she was going to have a great reaction to this classic, Lol
Brad Delp of Boston was a great singer and very much missed!😣♥️
Yes he left us way too soon may God bless you Brad and your family you will be truly missed Rip 🙏
Arguably the most beautiful pop/rock songs of all time along with "Over the Hills and Far Away". The lyrics of VERY few songs touch me as much as this one does, partly because I was 18 when it came out, and later had a crush on a girl named Mary Anne................Youth is Dead (for some of us), Long Live Youth!!!!!!!!

This is an iconic classic rock anthem!!! Boston is pure FIRE!!!
One of the most perfect rock songs ever made.
Still tugs the heartstrings same as it did 40 years ago.
Amen brother
Saw them in concert..ended up in front of the speaker banks couldn’t hear right for a week...it was awesome 😎
A woman after my own soul!!
Saw them at Red Rocks, arguably one of the most awesome venues there is! The concert was awesome btw!
They were definitely loud!

"I close my eyes and she slipped away." That line always causes me to think of my late wife and brings tears to my eyes.
It’s definitely a sad line in the song. Such an upbeat sound but you can feel
the sadness. Sorry about your wife. RIP 💗
So sorry for your loss
❤
one of the best bands of all time. still listen to them today. check out their songs ¨The Man I´ll Never Be¨ and ¨Peace of Mind¨

You figured out the guitars on the cover pretty quickly. Some people my age took 20 years or more to notice...lol.
I always thought they were just spaceships lol
I think at some point I realized they were guitars, but I forgot
Took me 40 years 🤣

Best song they ever made!😁😎
I think this song was in a commercial kinda recently. It's a great 70's classic rock hit!
Great guitar riffs is this classic about love, lost, and regret. The band's founder Tom Scholz was a perfectionist which led him to a life of strife and be litigation but throughout all that turmoil Boston emerges as one of the greatest rock bands and sold over 75 million albums worldwide.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Boston
1:50 😂 yes cause they play it at every sports venue especially when New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, & Boston Red Sox play on tv.
This was produced in their basement no fancy equipment.I dare any today to even come close to that.Real tallent folks!!!
This is one of those songs my dad used to blast when I was young, I’m 39 now and still blast this whenever I hear it!!!!!!
Goosebumps every time.
This song and album was my favorite when I was in Desert Storm. My walkman, earphones and this helped me "slip away" every day.

Love how you can appreciate music outside your normal comfort zone. That's a sign of high intelligence.
BOSTON - A MAN I'LL NEVER BE - GREAT, GREAT SONG - MUST LISTEN
Jayy, this song is about we associate our personal experiences with the music we hear at the time. The songwriter (Tom Scholz) tells us how he woke up, turned on the radio, and a familiar song is playing that brings up his memories of the breakup with an ex-girlfriend named Mary Ann. The song he's hearing reminds him of his feelings as he watched her walk away.
I think the vocals and guitar arrangement are executed so well that people don't think about the lyrics much. This is an iconic song of the Classic Rock era of the 1970s, which is why most people are familiar with the chorus section. Their debut album, released in 1976, has 8 songs (including this one), and all 8 still today get ample play on Rock radio stations. Next, from that same album, you need to listen to "Hitch a Ride", "Smokin'", and "Peace of Mind".
just this past Christmas season this song was used in a commercial with a snowman singing at a piano
Yes jay you were right👍, Boston's classic "More than a feeling" it was used in a 2014 commercial for yogurt. The Connection? Yoplait's latest flavor is Boston Cream pie lite, "At 90 calories, it is so good..when you want More than a Feeling touts the tagline as cartoon swirls of yogurt colorfully circle the screen. 👍Ronny
