This has always been my favorite Boston song. I've enjoyed every performance that I've ever seen of this on TH-cam. I certainly miss Brad Delp, but much thanks to Tommy for doing a great job helping to keep the dream alive!
Tom Scholz, what an awesome, inspiring, positive, soulful, upbeat guitarist. Very unique sound he has created that will NEVER get old and will not be duplicated by today's "guitarists"
@timothymidgett9730 given what can be done with amp modelers, digital processing and the studio quality effects processors that are so prevalent today along with the good old tried and true Marshall design amp, it is not that hard to get that "Boston Sound". The best recorded distorted guitar sounds that Tom ever put to tape were the guitar sounds on the first record and Marshall tube amps were the foundation of that sound. Let people like Bob Bradshaw and Dave Friedman work with Barry Goodreau and and it would not be difficult at all to get that Boston sound, and when it comes to this song, Barry would play many of the parts better than Tom and Gary do because Barry played them on the record. But to your your point-why would any aspiring guitarist trying to make a name for themselves copy the "Boston sound"? All the greats had their own sounds and style--EVH, Jimmy Hendrix, Larry Carlton, Jeff Beck, Chet Atkins, Les Paul and Eric Johnson to name but a few. I think if you hooked Tom up to a polygraph machine, he would tell you that Barry is and was a better guitar player that himself. According to producer John Boylan, Barry helped Tom to be a better guitar player. Barry plays some of the most difficult "virtuoso solos" on the first and second records. Barry's played electric rhythm guitar on this song, and Barry and Tom trade lead solos on this song. Barry plays all of the slide guitar parts on this song as well.
Still sounds great after all these years. I saw them right after the debut album came out. Scholz needs to bring back his Converse high tops, the ones with the ✨ glitter. RIP Brad. The world of music misses your incredible voice.
C'mon fellas, slow down. They could have been and should have been. But they took too many years off between their first 3 albums which really affected their popularity. Meanwhile groups like Van Halen, Aerosmith, Journey, The Cars and Lynyrd Skynyrd where not doing that.
I guess it's always been a solo act, with a changing list of hired hands. Not a true band at all, but reproducing Sholtz's recordings is pretty cool no matter who's doing it well.
@@davidcowger1903 yes there was only one Brad Delp, however Tommy DeCarlo sounds closer to the studio LP's live then even Brad did. don't get me wrong Brad sounded amazing live well into his 40's, almost impossible to recreate the vocals on those studio LP's live with all the overdubs and layering.
Top 5 band for me for damn sure The first Boston album (which I know this song isn't from) is one of the few albums I could play EVERY DAMN. DAY AND NEVER GET TIRED OF IT
No hay sudamericanos en estos comentarios , muy buenísima banda de las mejores , abrumado por estos acordes a los cuales por más k escucho no me aburro esto es el rock verdadero saludos para toda la banda desde LIMA PERU
Boston wS and always be the band that the 80s rocked the best times of my life Boston will always be the best long live Boston. My favorite was dont look. Back All there songs 🎵 is amazing they should of made the rock a roll hall of fame. 🧭👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I gotta say I enjoy jamming to Boston more than any other band. I play the rhythm and solos on all the songs of the first two albums. So much fun. I can't say that about any other band but the Eagles.
Tommy is good don't get me wrong but IMO, Brad Delp could sing like anybody but NOBODY can sing like Brad. No disrespect to Tommy because he has HUGE shoes to fill and he really does to a good job. RIP Brad,,,you are missed
I saw them on their first tour then again 4 years later for the Don't Look Back tour.Both concerts at the Forum in LA.. Both were amazing. The Don't Look Back concert was one of the 5 best concerts I have ever seen and have seen over a hundred. They played the entire Don't Look Back songs in order. Then played 6 songs from the 1st album with 2 encores. Sold out the Forum 3 nights in a row. It use to hold 18,000 people.
Shout out to Tommy Decarlo for doing an awesome job in my home town. Tommy deserves appreciation for having the balls to fill Brad Delps' shoes. He does an awesome job, for never being in a band before.
The best rock band in history... I wish they had been able to make about a dozen albums as good as those first two. This is as good as it gets - and that's from someone who listens mostly to classical. They are just that good... And thanks to the virus, I'll probably never get to see them live...
Brad delp he was Boston when he left he took it with him yes there's no feeling there in that song the emotion is gone they're just going through the motions now
All of you Don voters should be prosecuted and publicly humiliated! This guy does an excellent job with the vocals. It’s not the same as Brad, but you guys all know that. I believe this is still new for him and thank God that he’s keeping Boston alive!
Tom Scholz's cover band! Do they ever miss BRAD! This guy sounds a bit like him, but doesn't have that soulful, smooth voice that Brad had. He really gets on my nerves when he sings the Chorus. Sounds like he is yelling "HI! see beyond the road I'm drivin' Hi! ...." I saw Boston in the 70's right before DLB was released as an album and they were amazing! I also saw them once in the 90's during the GH tour and they were fantastic. Don't care to see them again now that Brad is gone! (Also saw RTZ and they were also great!)
@@EmersumBiggins Music may change with time, but talent is forever. Brad was one-of-a-kind talent, Fran was an amazing talent, Tommy D has limited talent.
To those of you running down the singer: The vocals and harmonies here beat the shit out of the original band’s live performances. It’s not even close.
@EmersumBiggins Given how much the live sound profession as whole and live pro audio gear have advanced and improved from the 70's and 80's to 2017, given how much onstage monitor sound and mixing has advanced and improved and given how much digital recording technology has advance and improved, you are approaching a false analogy fallacy. You also overlook the fact that Tom and Gary have had decades of playing together and refining their live show and playing these songs live. As for the vocal harmonies, they had better be better on this live show than what the original live Boston band did. Aside from Brad, Barry was the best singer in the band. Tom and Fran were not good singers back ups or otherwise. In this iteration of Boston they have a drummer that was recruited to sing back up vocals as well. They also have a woman singing with them. I never understood why Boston, Journey and Yes do not constantly have three female back up singers, Check out the back up singers for Pink Floyd and Steeley Dan. That is studio quality and precision for you. Before going on the vocal harmonies (note changes included) and the way the backing vocal "ensemble" blends on this performance sounds like crap and are not the same chord voicings compared to what Brad did in the studio. I have seen/heard live performances Brad did back in the 70's, and he was not on pitch. Brad had an amazing ear. He had very good relative pitch when working on the first three records as well. Given how tight some of the harmonies that Brad sang in the studio were, Brad had to have an amazing ear and sense of relative pitch. There a couple videos on TH-cam where I strongly suspect that Brad can not hear himself which was always a problem given the stage volumes in db that were common in the 70's and 80's. It is a different world when you start using in ear monitors, drastically lower the stage volume and drastically improve the quality of the live mixing boards and outboard gear from what they were in the 70's and 80's. Brad also faced what the majority of male singers face as they age-loss of range. Brad was in his 20's when he sang on the debut record. He was 55 when he sang his last Boston show. I do not know how Jon Anderson can sing as high as he does at 70 plus years of age, but father time takes its toll on the male voice and the first thing that shows is the loss of range both in terms of range of scale and dynamic range. It would not surprise me at all if De Carlo does not have a vocal coach to help him keep his voice in shape and to learn how not to strain his voice and damage his voice, I would also want to hear the vocal tracks isolated to see if any autotune was used Many bands use auto tune live as well.
I don't think you can Actually Replace an original band member..I learned that when Chris Walla left Death cab for cutie..Each contributes a distinctive sound & Style. ROCK 🎸 ON BOSTON!🎶
Ironically, such great, soulfull music was played to a very stiff audience. The audience should've been shaking and moving to this great music. Boston was disingenuous in barking at the disco crowd. They never understood that musin, good music, moves people in many different angles, and directions. Never understood why great music was wasred on such stiff audiences.
@@josephshehan7216 Yes there will never be another Brad but can't people just enjoy the music he gave us. Tom does a great job. It's just like the people who bitch about Arnel from journey,
Because crap can always be replaced. There is no replacing someone like Kurt Cobain. McCartney should have shot himself for even thinking he'd deserve to be in a "Nirvana reunion".
@@paulhutchinson6552 Kurt Cobain was a drug addicted hack who couldn't share the same stage as Scholz or any other singer/player from the '80s . . . or previously. Probably whay he killed himself . . . I'll ignore the ignorant and stupid remark about McCartney, but just remember Kurt Cobain ripped off More Than a Feeling by Boston to write "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (a stupid title . . . .)
Crazy that when Brad johnson took over for Bon Scott he didn't get half the grief Tommy DeCarlo did . . . . . How can you fill shoes that are unfillable? In both cases; with a smile and a nod.
When I am done and over, this is one of the songs they must play at my funeral. It's written in my will. Period.
What's the point of you telling any of us this?!?
Me too☝🏼
My song for my funeral is Longtime...
I saw you as a jockey. You were amazing at Santa Anita.
Me too if my family doesn't play this song in my funeral, I'm not going. 😂
Absolutely the best rock and roll band ever. No band will ever be able to compete with Boston ever.
I miss the 70'S and 80'S best Music and Generation EVER.🇵🇷♥️🇺🇸💪🎸

THE best rock band ever in USA
That's a debateable statement, but I like Boston's tunes just the same

Seriously. Tom scholz has no business looking that young and playing that good. God damn.
This songs makes me feel stronger when I weak and hopeless.
Gee, no masks... no gloves...... those were the days.
Hey I know you and I'm sure you can sing this song better greetings from Mex ,City I love your videos...
Those days will come back. Keep the faith.
Tom Sholtz invented BOSTON, their sound's and once you know how, you NEVER FORGET BABY!!!♊💋❤🤟😍
Ppppppppppp

AWESOME! Saw them last year and they blew me away!
Lucky you .

Usually when a new lead singer takes over it doesn't match the original. This is rare,he pretty much nails this,luv it!
@Lance Shepler Yeah Tommy Decarlo has gotten so much better over the years.
Yess, I was there….Boston was the most unique sound of anyone anywhere….to this day!
Tommy Decarlo plays the Charlotte Area and I see them about every weekend with my wife and friends. They just keep getting better and better.

There sure are an awful lot of best bands of all time. And this is yet another one of them

I can't even tell a difference.
I heard live version where delp was flat as could be maybe sick idk but this sounded effortless
well by watching these new videos of Tommy, i think he pretty much filled Brads shoes! LMAO!! Hate me IDGAF! haha
Brad was awesome in studio but both he and Tommy had/have trouble with the high notes live; and between the two I think Tommy is more consistent live.
When you look at the footage on youtube Brad could not do it all live and there is a lot off stain on his voice. Tommy sings it spot on.
My parents and I were there. Best night ever
Great! Love them! 🌹🌈🌈🌈🌈♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Tommy sounds really good. I take it this was early in the tour. Went to see them in July and his voice was shot. Loved the show anyway.
No ones better than Brad Delp! They’re not the same!
I couldn't agree with you more. However, this guy is a Brad Delp fanatic and I'm grateful that he's there to help them keep his spirit alive.
Great performance.
Great performance !!
The guy does sound good.
Never be another.....BOSTON !!
R. I. P. Brad!
thanks for them memories
04:32 The best guitar solo ever!!
Incredible .....
I'm seeing them in Pittsburgh in a couple weeks! Can't wait!!!!
Real Rock & Roll Band 👌😎 !!!
Fantastic group forever
First big rock band I ever saw live in ‘78
Singer really owns it now....that 2014 tour must have been hard
Lift off! Just great. This singer does a damn fine job. Scholz sounds like he's manifesting the Boston mothership. Not a corner cut.

ohh that Boston sound
So glad they got rid of that horrible show boating Sweet guy. Boston is Boston once again! A great performance here.
Yeah mate...and the 1970's were even better....I miss them...today its just too complicated....
My mom and Dad don't look back
So sad to see how the Earth our home is today from Space, 100 years ago was much different. What will remain after 100 years? This song....
