Lyrics:
Well, I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door

8 tracks that make up just over 37 minutes of playing time, produced 45 years ago, largely by one man in a basement. This album is a true work of art. Salute to all the Boston fans that are keeping this masterpiece alive!
GWAR did a cover of this intro when they also covered 'If You Want Blood' from AC/DC. It was unexpected and glorious.
Yeah, salute to the fans from all over the world, I'm listening to Boston in Brazil! 🙌❤🇧🇷
Thank you sir! You are who deserves the credit for being a fan for such a LONG TIME!
It is exactly that! A masterpiece!
It’s crazy that a small group of friends started up a band and became so legendary.
Can we all agree this band is one of the greatest EVER!!!??
They and Kansas, the greatest clasic Rock bands.
Yes we can
Motion carried, unopposed here.
That is absolutely right !!
Absolutely agree!
Хочу передать сердечный привет и благодарность Александру Пушному
Салют дружище, я так же от Пушного, земля круглая 🎉🎉🎉😅
По той же причине сюда пришел) Дядя Саша до сих пор открывает что то новенькое для меня)
Ёмаё, сколько нас?
Ничего себе!!! Я думал я один такой)))Кстати я благодаря этой песне вообще здесь. Он в коротком видео включил эту песню и там еще говорил что тут партия клавиш тяжелая. Мне очень понравилась песня и я решил ради интереса послушать, и в итоге действительно, первый альбом , очень классный; да и группа в общем отличная))
@@Oleg-mw8rr мне кажется эти ребята инопланетяне. Люди не могли такую написать музыку. Но вот вокал усилить и отвал башки
This is what you get when you turn a musically gifted, MIT trained engineer loose on the genre of Rock'n'Roll. Absolute brilliance. 💯
Man was a friggin musical genius. Bought his book about the effect pedals he would make, never got one finished but was amazed.
One of the best rock guitar sounds ever.
To Matt 1296, Today, the MIT engineer would read our minds, insert chips, and bot the production.
...along with building all the ROCKMAN amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and guitar processor units that influenced some of the best musicians and bands on the planet (see Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Def Leppard etc.) Tom Scholz was way ahead of the times in the late 60's 70's and 80's with guitar sound and studio wizardry. Incredible production on these albums. like no other. Lead singer Brad Delp had an elite angelic tenor voice that floored everyone. Only a few could match his ability to reach the high-rafter notes and stay in perfect pitch. All vocals (including background and beautiful harmonies) were done by this amazing talented soul. Scholz and Delp were the perfect combination when it came to creating this truly inspired music together...
What a genius. Still hard to comprehend sometimes!
In another 20 years when they put me in the old people's home, you will know which room is mine cause I will be blasting Boston, Kansas, and Frampton. Rock and roll!
I love
I heard that!
Best comment ever. long live rock n roll.
I here that brother!!!!
Hope I in next room
Absolutely loved this when I was 17. Now that I am 62, I STILL LOVE IT!
Takes me back to that time in my life. :)
Two words: Jenson Triaxial’s!
I'm 55 and I've had this album since I was 17
How many of you had this in 8 track?
I'm 14 and I'm going to be picking up the cassette pretty soon. Boston rocks!

You can't overstate or relate to those too young to be there the impact this album had when it was released almost 50 years ago. An absolute masterpiece still listened to in 2023, and will be forever.
Hast recht ......das wsr meine erste Platte ......geil .. ❤
I young but knew good music Iim listening to today pass it on
What we get when sound engineers make an album😊
I wore out two 8 tracks of this album before CD's came out.
I’m 67 now and I still listen to it…what a great time it was back then.
im 61 now, my best friend darryl was a huge fan, i love ...boston was his favorite band too, darryl passed n away 4 years ago from colon cancer, i miss him terribly i post boston songs to keep my friend alive..thank you boston, your music keepsmme in touch with my friend
you are so lucky to have a friend thats still with you i feel you he is not passed he lives through you
thanks for your kindness
So sorry about your loss
thank you
RIP Darryl. Keep in mind that he lives on in immortal music!
It’s insane how good the production on this album is for 1976, it almost sounds like it could’ve been recorded today.
They did a remaster in the 90's.
I dunno, it sounds like it was recorded in some guys basement to me...
@@devincallahan9444 Like what you did there, chief 👏🏻
@@devincallahan9444 Ha Ha. Good one, dude. Wonder how many of these kids' heads that one will fly over?
It was featured in a new movie called boss level
We will NOT forget about you now that you're gone, Brad. Rest easy.🌹
Amen
D on the bugle to mmmwwaaaa
Thing I always loved about Boston. Those long intros always insured you're fully invested before the song starts. Foreplay? Yes please, Longtime.
They give you foreplay long time 🤣
When I listen to this song, so do my neighbors.
Todd 🤣😆
LOL....well said
@@mamabear6710 : so I see you're a classic rock fan....
Greg I am.. I watched the Beatles debut on Ed Sullivan .. I was a old lady of 12 lol..but my picture is current
I crank this one way up to where
the house shakes.
Forget those tech speakers you hold in your hand today.
There's no substitute for those huge 3-way speakers that bring the rafters down on your head and cause a minor earthquake.
There's no greater feeling than driving down the Interstate listening to Boston...their music was made for driving. 😎👍
@ d barker I agree with you
It’s funny we share the same the last name
@@michaelbarker9079 😎👍
Looking over at your girl in her sunglasses smiling...hair in the wind. Take me away from this rock Boston...no doubt.
Ok so I’m not the only one who thinks this
Almost 62 in a few months, but this still brings the best years of my life 😊
I turned 61 in March and I totally understand, happy birthday brother 🙂
62 today! And I needed to hear Boston today!
Just thinking the same thing!
Such a huge inspiration to my drumming career.
60 here & hearing this makes me feel 20 again! Music is timeless!
Interesting lyric when Brad sings "You'll forget about me after I've been gone". Brad, we will NEVER forget about you! One of the greatest male voices of all time!❤❤❤❤❤
Brad forever
Such a shame, the way he took himself out !!!😢
He will never be forgotten and to think they could replace his vocals with two men, they don’t come close to Brads vocals!
New generations will hopefully discover Brad & Boston albums.
Agrrrreeeeeee!!!!!
Came for the foreplay.. stayed for a long time
This is great lmao
Haha nice one
Very original!
Hahahhh..good one🙌
@@roryteal5940 I see it also.. She did well, don't you think? Clever girl. Lol😂
Hard to imagine this song is 45 years old, and it STILL rocks !!
Don't most rock songs still rock today?
i love this ❤️ forever...
Tom wrote the fucking song in 69 so it's really like 51
Oh crap I'm old. But this brings back memories! Rock on!!
Yep playing with surround sound, on big screen now. Lol. From l.p. to today's tec. 😁🎧🔊
My neighbors liked this song so much they threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better!
😂😂😂
LMAO 🤣 Love it!! Apparently they wanted it LOUDER!!!!!! I heard that!!!! 🗣️🎤🤣💃💗💃💗🥰🥰🥰🥁🎛️📻💽
Good one!
😂😂😂
That was me dude sorry, but it kinda was your fault that your speakers weren't loud enough.
This is now and will forever be my favorite song of all time. The fact that Boston isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be forever be a crime.
thay didn't play the records co game ..... should still be there tho.
Wow didn't know they were not in . In my book one of leaders of the late 70s rock era
Very true. Madonna and Run DMC are in hall of fame but no Boston or Ted Nugent shows the Hall has become irrelevant
I could not believe it - but it's true. Boston is not in there!
They put out the greatest 1st album of all time, with cuts still in heavy rotation, but no hall of fame?
Look, every body loves Dolly Parton - she is a genius performer, a leader and a good person - but she's no rocker - but she's in the Hall of Fame (over her very principled objections - like I said, she's a good person.)
And Sheryl Crow is!! Sacrilege!!!
The beauty of this song is that, at almost 8 minutes long, it didn't get overplayed on the radio. So when they DID play it (and that was usually at night), it was a rare treat.
True to the title.
WCMF ROCHESTER NY PLAYS ALL THE CLASSIC ROCK ! BRINGS BACK THE DAYS OF CARS GIRLS AND WEEKEND BONFIRES !
Yes indeed man... loving it now!❤
@@jerryhand8538 All Rochester mainstream radio has had the same playlist of about 300 songs ...for the past 40yrs. The music Became classic (over 25yro) while they played the shit out of a few baked tunes. Merely another nauseating ad platform ... ...I actually dislike my favorite bands now.
@@rascalferretyep! I remember seeing an interview with Jim Morrison from The Doors talking about even in the 1960s the radio played the same top 40 hits over and over and over again just bashing the same songs into your mind to where you either hate it or you cant get the songs out of your head. I liked when radio djs were the tastemakers and could play new stuff, old stuff, deep tracks and you could hear a song you've never heard before and obsess on finding out who the band and the name of the song was!
I’m 61 now and it still gives me the same feeling when I was 17 playing it in my bedroom. Timeless music that was way before it’s time !
Same age as you. Could not have put it better myself.
im 64 im with you guys
Amen !
Im 63 now and this song still kicks ass and gives me goose bumps
True 👍 😁 shit

Who is listening May 2024?
You know it!✌😎🤘
Here
June 1st 2024
Rocking out today!
Helps.
U want my opinion, this is one of the greatest rock n roll songs of all time. Boston is an amazing band, rest in peace Brad Delp, we miss you!
Love ur comment.!! & ABSOLUTELY... It is TRUE..!!🎶👍💕
He was awesome ❤️
& dats sayin alot 😎
One of the all time great jams.this song has it all
Yes, it's one of the best band assembled. This album solidify the argument.
This is not a song it's a masterpiece my hats off to you Tom Scholz
Salute to Mr Delp for singing it.
I will let him know 👍
For sure it is a masterpiece. But the birther of the band also killed it ever so slowly. Very very slowly. Maybe read the backstory.
@@jpriker2992 and unfortunately he committed suicide. All of his works are absolutely amazing! A terrible loss for the musical community
Sure it is! Tom Scholz is a humble music genius. First Boston album he played and recorded mostly himself on multiple instruments (except vocals)
66 years old and this song still gives me chills. They ain't lyin. Its been a long time. Chase your dreams and keep rocking.
ROCK ON!!
Great Advice
YES, IT DUZ....
Охренеть, я открыл для себя эту группу буквально несколько дней назад и черт возьми как же это хорошо!
Спасибо Пушному? Дядя Саша рулит. Открывает мир
@@KassiopeaN Welcome To MY World!!!
One of the greatest intros ever, not just In rock as a whole but in all of music. Goosebumps everytime. True art will never die
But it's hard to come by
@@nobody6032 so it's rare, common ground💗
Rock at its best
Detto2
I always skip the intro lol
These guys DESERVE to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!!! It's a travesty that they're not, but Dolly Parton is!
Nothing against Dolly but true that
tragedy not travesty 😏
That’s bad! So bad.
They had one good album dude.
One.
I’m almost 80 & still love this era ❤
You just made NY night sweetheart!
73 here, and I'm still lovin' it too. Great stuff!
70 and yes absolutely ❤
I was 19 years old in 1976
I saw them in concert
Boston 🎉🎉🎉
Still one of the best LPs out there and I have two copies of it❤❤❤
I turned 19 that year, too. It really has been such a long time now.
19 in '76 as well. What a great time for music. These songs will always stand the test of time.
Uhhhh! I’m jealous!
i was 14 years sorry because my english im german but boston is for me the best rock band for ever and my favorite band for ever this music is firstclass i have feeling and power by boston i like too the british rock band deep purple but nummber 1 is boston for me i hope you understand my bad english i speak not better by the way i have too many lps by boston my favorite songs are long time more than a feeling and beautyfulls songs are what s your name and i need you löve io wish all the best and have much fun by boston take care
I'm the same age and saw them 3 times 1st MSG 2nd Nassau Colliseum 3rd Giants Stadium. 3rd was the best. even with the Thunder storm.
Written and recorded by ONE guy in his basement. Without pro tools. Amazing.
He invented his pro tools. Some have never been recreated.
Tom innovated the technology that is still being used today MIT graduate
Had no idea wow . Thanks
Minor nitpick: about the only thing Tom Scholz didn't do was the vocals. But that was probably a good thing -- there will never be another Brad Delp. Nobody before or since has had the ability to maintain full power (i.e., without going falsetto) as high as Brad Delp could. Even Freddie Mercury couldn't go that high at full power.
AND in his spare time, he had a day job too.
I never noticed until my dad told me that the ufo’s on the cover of Boston are upside down guitars. One of the best album covers imo.
oh my god you just changed everything for me
They're guitar-ships leaving an exploding Earth, so they're not UFOs (anymore)!
😳😳😳
WOW thanks for pointing that out, never saw that !
LOL. I am 50 y old. Didn't see that until now.
My wife was born in 1986 and me in 1987 and we grew up on this kind of music and still love it even though it was our parents music and still is. I'm only 36 but love Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Boston, Kansas, Black Sabbath and all the classics.
Mentorship. Our parents help form our clay vessels. Keep the search alive. There is soooo much awesome music to find, from many eras.
I'm 52 and my oldest daughter is 30 she loves all these classic rock bands bc I overplayed them when she was a kid lol now her kiddos are 9 and I also have younger kids now too and they all love Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zep, James Taylor and all my old faves!!
Ain't nothing wrong with having some class
👍👊I saw Zeppelin in concert back in 1977 at the Kingdom in Seattle.I do remember some of it.🚬🚬🚬😂
My son just turned 26… he listens to this kinda stuff too!!! Tell yer folks I said they did a great job raising you!!!
When I die, I want this song played at my funeral and I want everybody to dance and have a good time.
Me too!! Rock on!!
I hope this is not the only place you are making those wishes known.
Das werden sie ..❤
I wanna drop acid in the coffee pot at my wake..😂
@@allendracabal0819I’ll put it in my will 😀
I just can not turn this up loud enough. Am I right?!
Bigger speekers.
Yes, yes you are!! The LOUDER the better!!!! Ear drums?? I don't need no stinking ear drums!!!!!!
You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO right :)
Yes
You nailed it
Possibly the best ever debut album by any band,
Absoutly!
Not possibly...It is!!!!!❤😂
One of the best for sure. Maybe the only other one I'd have in there is the Pretenders debut album.
The Cars also
Them, Van Halen 1, and Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction
Hearing Brad Delp's voice is bittersweet. Such a singer, and so sadly gone now.
Perfect alto pitch
You have to remember,this came out in the 70’s right? What a badass song!!!
Never gets old. This is rock.
the best there is. this is 45 year old amazing music. that Hammond organ gets me every time. Amazing production from a basement in MA. Genius rock. Tom Scholz is a master of sound engineering. He probably didn't know it at the time. Now he does.
Yeah, this is rock, not the crap and shit from lady goga or katy perras, bubble gum lollipop crap music.
My first rock cassette was Boston in 1987 not a big deal to some of you guys but being from the hood and Black a big deal my top rock group of ALL TIME
@@antionevirdree1429 Mr. Antoine, I'm my gang, if you were cool, we didn't give a rats ass what color, religion, if you had money or not, if you were cool, you were in. I guess the 60s were the influence of not being like our parents came from. My father was a closet kkk and tried his damnedest to make me a hater too. Nope, did not work. I cannot wait, and hope to live long enough to see my youngest grandson graduate high school and for people to understand it's not your color, it's your character. Just know, we would have hung out with you and we woulda had a blast doin it! Blessings brother🤘💙😎
Thank You God!
Have just noticed that the UFOs on the cover are actually guitars ! x)
Richard Marques Thats so cool I didn't notice that either
Richard Marques obvious but easy to miss--the guitars that Is?!
All my life Ive loved this band and never noticed it dude thats awesome
Richard Marques i think everyone knows that just saying
Allen Saunders Haha, never had noticed!
Still have chills from the show I saw in the 70's when the organ pipes rose from behind the stage. It was surreal and the music still takes me to a good place ❤
This album came out when I was a child, but I was very fortunate to have seen them on the Third Stage tour. Remarkable band!
I WISH I WAS THERE
I can't get the volume loud enough when I hear this. This is music!
Right on👊❗️
Kann man nur,laut hören .❤

It's much nicer than most rap and hip hop. :)
And there were no synthesizers. When you listen to it with that in mind, you begin to get the gist of the massive amount of detail Tom Scholz was implementing in his little basement in Watertown, Mass, to get this album done, and close to perfect as possible.. Incredible amount of work. This album is a timeless masterpiece.
What's the problem with synthesizers? There's really not much of a difference between an analog synthesizer and a Hammond organ. One uses an oscillator to produce the sound and the other a "tone generator".
@@Relayer6a Nothing wrong with them at all.. I'm actually a big fan of the ARP 2600 that was starting to catch on when this album was made. I was just pointing out that there was none on the album.
I sure know exactly how he never slept. Scholz was a mastermind of sound engineering hands down. I'm sure he was laying in bed and dozing off and said wait, I going to go tweak a couple tracks. Genius music and Brad Delp is the best singer I have ever heard in my life. This is 45 year old music friends. It will live on long after I'm gone for sure.
@@samdrye8067 for sure, this song is AWESOME. this is first time i ever heard it (im a millennial). major respect to all the sound engineers in history who have constantly pushed the boundaries of what music production is capable of
That would take an incredible amount of audio engineering talent and effort. The mastering is . . . masterful!
Takes me back to my youth, for sure!!!! Timeless
This song played so much during my childhood it’s like a tattoo on my soul! The 70s and 80s were Americas best years ❤
Tattoo on my soul. Absolutely!
when that lead guitar comes in, i get chills, a little emotional and it just takes me on a little journey. amazing tone and great lick!!!
The drums coming in too!
Yes!! Close my eyes, turn it all the way up & melt back into the memories!! ❤️😎
The lead guitar solo you hear on Long Time is 100% Barry not Tom. Barry plays electric rhythm on Foreplay. Fran plays bass on Foreplay. Barry plays electric rhythm and lead on Longtime. The huge power chords on Long Time are Barry too.
Same here buddy takes me back to when I was a kid in the 90s and the family jamming to Boston at all the barbecues
I’ve done a lot of acid to this band lol
Some bands are better in the studio than they are live, some bands are better live than in the studio. Boston is one of those bands that is absolutely solid on both fronts. I'm so glad I got to see them live.
Saw them live on their first tour! Incredible!
NICE 🖒🎸🎶
We saw them at a venue a couple of years ago and Tom came out before the rest of the band to do a solid check on his guitars it was pretty crazy 💖‼️
Judas Priest is another one of those rare live/studio sounds of solid greatness.
Detto!
Probably one of the best songs of the 70's.. Always makes you happy!!
My mom played this when she used to get ready for work when I was a kid. My child will hear the same as im getting ready for work.
☺️
Absolute amazing musicianship. And Brad Delp’s vocals are out of this world. He left us way too soon. We miss you Brad. RIP.
I have depression and my husband just died. When I listen to this song I am in another world 🌍
@@sandybell2743 So sorry Sandy. If you get to another world...any other one...please let me know if there are other homes for sale. So feel you.
Yes indeed, the musicianship, instrumentation, the harmonies, arrangement, is freaking phenomenal!😮
The most recognizable guitar sound in rock and roll history
Shacklin Jackson agree . The tone and distortion . You just know it’s Boston . I’m 31 and a huge fan of all rock , especially progressive rock and there is no mistaking the tone and chords being strummed as Boston. This album is amazing . If I had been a kid in 1976, this and rushes 2112 wouldn’t have left my record player.
EVH
@@DrGrafenberg I think this and Van Halen first album are pretty close ...I Love both bands I'm 35
Samuel HerMan funny you say that, because those were the first two albums I ever bought
Shacklin Jackson Queen too, Brian May has a super recognizable tone. I would argue Slash from GNR’s tone is easy to place too
I was lucky to have seen these guys live. This was the one song that everyone cheered for the most.
Masterpiece!! As only Boston could create!! Been listening my ENTIRE life! Thanks Dad, I love you! The drums on this KILL me, and of course Brad’s legendary voice God love him, forever missed!! The guitars singing and soaring and that killer bass!!! You cannot beat this! -Shell, 11/28/70 🤘
I got so tired of music critics saying Boston’s music was “corporate”. What the hell does that even mean? Their first album is almost single-handedly responsible for my tinnitus. And I don’t care.
If anything, today’s Biebers and Katie are super corporate! Perhaps one day, we will have real music again. Thank goodness for TH-cam!
Tbf the first is also the best by far imo. And one of the bests of the 70s for sure.
That was such bull crap. Boston was just Boston. Amazing musicians who also had electronics skills who were all way ahead of their time. RIP Brad and Sib........
I love corporate rock! Name sounds catchy too
Can I get a "OH HELL YES."
How can anybody put a thumbs down to this? One of the best classic rock songs ever recorded!
Must have been from New York
Because Boston was their EX's favorite band. LOL
Could be due to "Vision Metamorphopsia"
Their wife left them because they haven't done foreplay in a long time.
They're kids who love Rap that's why. They don't know great music.
This album blows me away every time. Im into heavier music, deftones, metallica, harms way etc etc but without these classic rock influences none of it would be here. The albums of the 60s, 70s and 80s put out but classic rock bands were absolutely mint and always will be. Timeless!!
I am 62 and still rocking to this masterpiece just like I did at 16 when it came out.
Thank you Boston !
Me too!
❤❤
63, still rocking out
Ja też.poland.1961.
2:25 just feels like "Summer in a bottle". That opening guitar is just the essence of summer to me. I had this on 8 track, cruising to the beach on California Highway 101 with friends in my 1969 Mustang Fastback. Had no frickin' idea how good I had it. . .
I got my drivers license in 1969, I didn't get my 69 Mach 1 until 1972. Where has time gone!
Man you described it well, and bring those memories back to life... we didn't realize how good we had it compared to current times.. ...well, and being younger with that devil may care attitude was sweet too!
..I hate being old.. Oh well, what can ya do.. anyway, thanks for bringing back some good days man..

@@Phrostbyte007 Summer indeed brings me back to crusing in my 68 Camaro slmmin the gears with Boston blaring on the stero, really didn't know how good I had it!
Change the car to a Ford Galaxie 500 three on the tree klunker with Altec Lansing speakers loaded into the back, cruising over 17 to get to the ocean, and I'm right there with you 🤣😊‼️
Ok, the car was not nearly as cool as yours, but it was boat sized, with a bench front seat and had wing windows 🤣, and made driving other cars easy lol. Plus we could fit myself and a bunch of my sisters in it with our long 70s hair, parted down the middle, and looking hot lol!
We would have probably challenged you to race, and, undoubtedly lost, but we would have had great fun doing it.
Those were such innocent days. We had more fun just driving around, being seen and heard, than anyone ever has with video games or social media. We were outside, living real life.
It’s just an incredible and eternal masterpiece, I could listen to it endlessly.
I do!!
One of the most innovative bands of all time. I was 10 when this album came out and there's not a bad song on it. I definitely have my favorites from it. Saw them on the Third Stage tour in 1987. Phenomenal concert.
As a 51yr old man, this was just ever so slightly beyond my time. Thankfully when I found my parents records in the mid 80s I found this... rocking so hard... better than the heavy metal bands so popular at the time, AC/DC, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeath and all the rest.. and This song speaks more and more to me as the older I get. Different meanings at different stages in my life. As I think about my girl, literally sitting just outside the front door. Smokin. Bless you all. What a trippy world we all share here in this thing called life.
What
I'm also 51 I'd bypass all those bands to blast Boston.
I'm 52 but was blessed with 2 older brothers so I got introduced to classics like this at a young age. My oldest brother was a dead head and I remember my other brother locking himself in his room for days listening to "The Wall" when it released. Seven years later I would lock myself in his room and listen to his albums while he was at work. Of course I also listened to Maiden, Metallica etc with my friends. Good times.
A truer comment to this song has never been spoken until now
I’m 54 and my dad use to blast this album when mom wasn’t home 😅
"More than a Feeling" is a great song, but it tends to get a bit over-played on many classic rock stations. However, when this one comes on, I always get excited -- I think my neighbors probably get excited too!
🎯💯
@@opalizard Mine too lol
Agreed and I would say that Brad Delp had one of the most prolific rock and roll voices ever purely natural
This band was so awesome, they rocked. They were so good together no one will ever compare,NO ONE!!!
I’m 35 now... I got into classic rock in middle school.. Boston was my gateway drug into it.
My parents and culture.
Same!! I everyone else was listening to backstreet boys...lol
Right on Christina. Same
it took a long time to see but I was like COOOOOL I want a boston tee shirt nowwwww.
BETTER THAN BLOW BABE🤟🏾👍🏿
I’m 72 and this song is still in my top 10. How I wish I’d seen them in concert.
Be glad you didn't.. Saw them at Cobo hall in Detroit .. Amazing songs, amazing talent, amazing ( for the time era) sound.. Unfortunately, basically nada for stage presence. Seriously.. the quietest concert ( for crowd response) that I'd ever attended, and I've seen most of the big name 70s' and 80s' acts. I can vividly remember going from Windsor Ontario, over to Detroit, to buy the Album, because it was available there first. Everyone came over to my place, and we played it repeatedly on my stereo. Knew I had to see them in concert. Living in Windsor. Ontario... Pre 911.. It was just a couple of bucks and a ten minute walk from the tunnel bus to Cobo Hall.
There's a class of musicians called "studio musicians". Basically, these are musicians who can play anything! And, make it sound amazing!! Boston was like that. They were tight, sounded great, but with the hottest album of the time... They couldn't get Cobo hall off it's collective asses.. I've seem way less talented musicians just 'effin rock the venue, with balls, chutzpah, stage presence.... whatever you wanna call it.. Boston couldn't pull it off.. Not by a long shot.
Don't get me wrong.. In an era before "auto tune", and lip syncing, and recorded bits.. They proved that they could cut it live.. They just couldn't get the place off it's collective ass. Not to take away from their musical talent... not at all.. Just... They failed to engage the audience.
On the side of my Marshall, there's a sign that only I can see on stage.. It says .." Technical perfection isn't important, passion is.. I need to make you believe"
Boston.. in concert, couldn't make anyone "believe".. Maybe they got better at it as the tour went on. But, that was my first hand take on it at Cobo Hall.
Underrated playing? For sure.. The double leads on "Hitch a Ride", send chills down my spine to this day.
@@charles09361 Interesting, thanks for sharing! I know exactly what you mean. Only 30 but sometimes there have been shows I saw live and beforehand didn't even care for the music but the band MADE me ;). Energy is everything with live performances. You gotta woo the audience or don't even bother doing live shows.
I saw them twice all us old guys were crying our eyes out remembering our youth! The Gorge in Washington and the White River in Wa!
Athens Ohio 1977.... smokin!
@@eddieagnich1875
its a masterpeice
Boston is the underrated definition of 70's rock.
I graduated in '79 and at the time, Boston was HUGE. All over America. They were not underrated, everybody knew them.
@@bobolson7610 they were huge in Canada as well. Good times.
There's always one a-hole that makes that claim on every video. Today it was you, Melvin.
Yeeeessss!!!
In my experience, EVERYBODY knew Boston!! Not underrated as far as I could tell!
This song is the complete definition of EPIC, lets go back to the 70s. What really grinds my gears is there has been NOTHING close to this in the last 40 years or so. We lived through the greatest age of music, we had everything without knowing music was dying. Every other song on your local FM Rock station was 1000 percent better than the washed-out shit coming out today. What's at the top of the chart today Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, WTF? How did this happen?
And don’t get me started on shittty rap music 💩
Keep on rocking!!!
I’d argue Van Halen’s first album was another one of those albums but I’d still take Boston’s first album
@@Ibelikemj Meatloaf Bat out of Hell enters the chat 😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m 66 and stuck in the 70’s as far as music, Boston’s music will never get old.
Listening to Boston brings back a lot of memories. Saw them in concert in Birmingham Alabama in 1979
can’t wait for the bluecoats to make this better than it already is 🙏🙏
BLOO
Best debut album EVER, plays like most bands' greatest hits, outstanding !
Careful there
Good studio band. Not quite the same in concert. Don't forget Van Halen.
The Cars.
@@KittyGrizGrizAgree as the Cars debut album is phenomenal 👌
Led Zeppelin
This whole album was drummed into me as a child.
Literally. My dad was a drummer he would drum away on the steering wheel and dash board as he was driving when he played this album.
I will always have a soft spot for it.
But this song is next level.
It's timeless. It never gets old.
That is so awesome. You'll always have a piece of his soul whenever you hear this. Love it!
I'm guessing you drum on your steering wheel and dash as well!
BLOOOOOOOO
I was at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1978. We were 10ft side stage away. I snuck a bong in and my buddy brought an oz. We burned n bonged 10ft away listening to this so loud....my ears rang for 3 days. It was awesome to see them live so close!!! Loved it, still do.
Just once I'd love to see the church organist break down and start playing this.
Me too lol!!!!
Yes we did see it at the Forest City community church Christmas Concert 2017
340rps that would be wild
340rps dearly beloved... BOOM :)
I'm hip!
That long B3 note before Longtime is just brilliant. The way it just hangs there and then the chord resolves into Tom's one-of-a-kind guitar solos. Pure bliss.
Not to get too technical, but Barry actually played lead guitar on this one, not Tom. 🙂
Spinetingling!!! Purely Kick Ass Boston Baby!!! YES!!!❤😅🎉
@staticsound1422 Actually Tom is playing a Hammond M3 on the first two records not a Hammond B3. The M3 according to Tom allows the player to emphasize a different series of harmonics than the M3 does
Easy to play too..
Barry did the tougher stuff w Boston. Tom was the vision and the control freak.@@steveanderson7536
And just like that I’m a teenager again, stoned and listening to Boston. ❤
I'm so glad I lived in this true rock and roll Era!!!!!! I'm so thankful to have my sons enjoy my time too. Oldest is a musician and youngest was a song bird but.... ended up as a business/ financial consultant. Very proud momma!
Best rock intro ever. Ever.
I saw Boston open for Black sabbath in 1977. Best concert ever.
Never sang my favorite song, never was in my top 10 groups , but the greatest album ever made hands down!
Agreed. I was just a yungin when this came out, jamming to this in my mid 40s now.
Thomas Parker an album full of total winners. Start to finish greatness.
Funeral for a FRIEND/LOVES LIES BLEEDING, Sir Elton John is my pick!!! I saw them both in concert! LUCKY ME!;-)
R.I.P. Brad Delp You are GREATLY MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
I was just jamming out to this song today and was thinking to myself I would love to hear from people who remember when this first came out to see how they felt. Lots of comments here of people sharing that. It’s exactly what I thought. This songs holds up crazy now I can’t imagine how it sounded to people when it first came out.
The most angelic voice I have ever heard
Boston, Foreigner and Queen were the three rock bands that I listened to incessantly during my college years in the late 1970s. I got to see Queen @ MSG in New York, along with The Who and Elton John on other occasions. I regret that I didn't get to see Boston, but I think that the above-listed bands that I did see in concert were pretty good, especially The Who. The current generation can only see these great bands on tape on PBS. Better late than never.
I worked second shift at a grocery store in Flint MI 1977. Hated my job! Boston helped me forget how much I hated my job. Every night I would cruise around town blasting this song at 1:00 in the morning. Still love it!
Best R&R band ever! Boston was America!
I work 2nd shift and I'm blasting this as well, but I don't necessarily hate my job. It just goes to show that Boston is for everyone and what ever mood your in! Peace love n rock n roll
Wish I had a dollar for every beer I drank or every mile I drove listening to this song.
None of today’s crap comes close
I listen to boston at least 3 times a week if not more.
That is a fact and Drad did the vocals with no auto tune, imagine that!
And it never will
They're like alien's ❤❤❤ music from other planets
I couldn't of said it any better. Sad to see when you've grown up with such unbelievable artists and today it's manufactured like effn toothpaste.
Rest In Peace Bradley Delp your vocal talent is kick ass!
One of the BEST ever‼️😢
We will probably never hear music produced of this caliber ever again,
I agree
A sad but true thought
We have Greta Van Fleet, you should check them out. Start with Highway tune, then fall down the rabbit hole from there
Yes we will but you won't listen to them because they're modern and no good music is being made today right?
Totally agree, don't think it'll happen again!
I was in high school and college in the 70's and grew up just outside of Boston. I saw Boston and Aerosmith multiple times, great shows every single time. Was also lucky enough to see The Rolling Stones when they played at a small bar called Sir Morgan's Cove in Worcester MA in 1981.
BLOO🍁🍁🍁
That guitar solo sends shivers down my spine even after all these years!
And it was one of the few examples of Barry's chops. He killed it.
Anybody else listening to this beast in 2019???
Yeah
Since 1976 and today!
YEP!!!!
Yep
Oyeaaah
I was born in 1963 and I remember when this one first hit the airwaves what a great band we couldn't wait to go out and buy a copy of this song now those were the good old days
Hometown band. Every track is perfect.
This honestly might be the best song ever.... if you disagree I respect that
Juice 730 this is definitely one of them. For sure.
I agree with you Juice. This song is the top 10 ever made.
I would have to totally agree with that kick ass from beginning to end
It might be sir. But to me is It's Easy easily. If that makes any sense.
More than a feeling. Watch the video on TH-cam called what makes this song great more than a feeling
It's so much more than I ever knew
R.i.p. Brad delp there will never be another Singer like u✌️👏
This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. God bless. "I'm calling out your name tonight" by Richie Levoi th-cam.com/video/JSbGGiSe3S8/w-d-xo.html
