- This is the abridged version of the story of Tom Scholz, and the rock band Boston.
Scholz almost single-handedly wrote, played, arranged, and produced some of the greatest music of the classic rock era. Then he disappeared numerous times.
This is the who, what, and why of that time.
Thank you for watching! I do appreciate your time.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and your comment.
thank you for Boston memories
Thank you for watching. 👍
i have been a musician for 35 years. Never been about the money. its about Love
Hard to pay the bills with love.
Thanks for watching.
thank man for the info
Thank you for watching.
Great summary!!
Thanks! And thank you for watching.
I appreciate your comment.
Brad definitely brought the songs to life. ❤
I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the summary, what an amazing couple of records and story line , just watched another video where someone broke down some of the tracks on the first album,, amazing album!!
I completely agree!
What maybe most fascinating is Scholz could produce that second album so quickly. He’s never done anything else that didn’t take at least 5 years.
Thank you for watching, and your comments.
hi from Italy, congratulations for the story, ah, I never realized that the spaceship of the Boston covers was an upside down guitar...
I thought it was great cover art, and a clever idea!
Thank you for watching and your comment!
@@thetroublewiththat anyway, I knew the story: it can be said that Tom's is a unique case. Definitely an underrated guitarist. I'm very sorry for the great Brad: I had read that he was even more depressed because Tom told him that he no longer had the voice he once had. Anyway, fate, right now I'm studying that masterpiece which is "A man I'll never be"

Check out this live version from 1977. Different arrangement and a wonderful, melodic solo from Scholz.
Great party music!
The early stuff for sure!
TS certainly is an intriguing individual. People toss many extremely specific/descriptive words randomly, but applying "genius" to TS is (rare) proper use of the word. However, it seems that such individuals can often have ego to match their rare/extreme talent(s)/abilities. From what I've heard/viewed about Billy Corgan, and Roger Waters, they are similar w/TS in that regard. Good point about creating great, unique rock songs being a young person's racket. I can't come up w/even one example in all of rock music where gifted, tremendously successful rock star(s) could compose the same magic at 40, or 50 + years old as they could in their 20s. Sadly, I don't think anyone like TS will ever happen again. The ruling clan executing NWO (JWO, 1-World Rule, Tikkun Olam) as part of their domination has poisoned, brainwashed, deceived us to the point where people are walking zombies, hollow shells, w/almost no potential. "There will be in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak.....Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people, will in fact, have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel, by propaganda, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods....And this seems to be the final revolution." - Aldous Huxley, March 1962 (AH purportedly was a member of a prominent family of eugenicists, a high level political advisor, and purportedly wrote Brave New World, a "fictional" story of totalitarian ruled society).
Mr. Scholz certainly has the traits of a genius, especially when it comes to understanding sound and the production of it. He holds multiple patents, has his recording prowess, and is a licensed pilot as well. By most accounts, he is rather difficult to work with.
As to the latter part of your comments- you’re covering forthcoming episodes I’ll be treading into. 😆
Thank you for watching and for your comment.
It's a shame that his prickly personality insured that Scholz and Boston would release so few albums. Had he released enough albums to sign another contract, it could have been on his terms. If you watch most bands, that's how it always worked. Screwed on the first contract, make it big on the next contract when you have leverage.
He did alright with MCA (after a slew of lawsuits and a settlement that gave the original manager a cut of Third Stage sales).
Scholz came up with nearly every part for nearly every song. That takes time. I think his unwillingness to accept songs from other band members and work his magic on them hurt their output dramatically.
He’s a strange guy. John Kalodner spoke about his insistence to come pick him up at a shopping mall, and drop him back off at it, because Scholz didn’t want Kalodner to know where he lived. Yet, they were working together. Bizarre paranoia.
Thank you for watching and your comment!
There were sound super 8 film cameras on the market in the 70s.
Not at the time Scholz was working on the project initially. I know by the time Polaroid finished the project, the technology was obsolete.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
...the trouble with that ,is ,...
...this sounds like 'the official story'... Which has some big holes in it...such as the belief that Tom played everything...there were six musicians who played on Boston's first album...four have never been named...
The first sentence in the description literally says it’s “the abridged version of the story of Tom Scholz, and the rock band Boston”.
6 musicians? Scholz, Delp, Goudreau, Hashian, Shehan, Masdea. Most played on one song, “Let Me Take You Home Tonight”. Goudreau did some solos on
“Hitch A Ride” and “Long Time”.
If four have never been named, how do you know there were four? And wouldn’t that make 10 total? Will you fill in the blanks? I’m curious to know.
I do thank you for watching, and I appreciate your comment.
Brad worked at Hotwatt in Danvers, MA. They made the coils for the coffee machines, as well as other products used by other companies.
@@michaelbean5312 You’re right. I was too vague there and technically incorrect.
Thank you for watching and your comment.
The official story includes crediting all six who played on the first album. Scholz indeed did not play all the parts, but aside from the drumming, Scholz played the overwhelming majority of the other parts. Sib Hashian played drums on all but one song. Jim Masdea played drums on one song (even though he played on all of the 6 demo songs that led to getting the first contract). Barry Goudreau played guitar parts on three songs and Fran Sheehan played bass guitar parts on two songs. Everyone was credited by name.
@@thetroublewiththat In the legal documents involved in the lawsuits between Tom and Barry, Tom admitted under oath that Barry plays on the following songs: Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. In the post litigation 2006 Scholz remaster (not Sony) of the debut Boston record, Tom finally spells it out. Barry plays electric rhythm guitar on Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. Barry also plays all of the lead solos on Long Time and he plays lead and slide on Let Me Take You Home. Tom has also finally admitted that Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. It has been known from the day the record was released that Sib plays all drum tracks except one and that track was played by Jim Masdea. Tom has also finally admitted that Brad plays acoustic 12 string on Let Me Take You Home Tonight which was written by Brad. There are in fact 6 different musicians who play instrument tracks on the debut Boston record.
Albeit 30 years after the fact, Tom finally admitted and gave credit to Jim Masdea and Brad for all of the arrangement work that they did on the songs on the debut Boston record in the liner notes of the 2006 Scholz remaster. Keep in mind that the 2006 Scholz remaster (not Sony) was Toms pet project. Tom got mad when he found out that Sony had done a remaster so he did his own, and he had complete control over what was done on that remaster.
