      Yeah, this is an incredible debut album. But I got one equal at the very least. Every song a banger. And that’s Van Halen 1. Along with Eddie’s innovative guitar sound, really stopped you in your tracks.

    When this album came out, I was in the Navy assigned to an American Forces Radio and Television Service station at a base in the Indian Ocean, and the whole station was amazed that this was the band's first album because not even The Beatles' first album was this solid with no weak songs. This and every other song got at least some radio play, not just that year but every year after. Nearly a decade later the civilian album-oriented rock (AOR) station I was working at had every song on this album in its oldies rotation. Lead guitarist / keyboardist / recording engineer Tom Scholz and lead vocalist / rhythm guitarist Brad Delp (R.I.P.) were especially amazing. Go through every track on this album, you won't be disappointed. Don't Look Back and Third Stage are also top notch, though not as good as their debut which I don't think they could ever top.

    This was the opening song when I saw them in concert in the fall of 1978. Sammy Hagar had warmed up for them and there was a little time while they changed equipment out. Then, they came in with this. It made the 70 mile trip to Minneapolis with my 3 college buddies worth it. The whole concert was great!

    Boston is very unique in that it isn't a band in the traditional sense . It is the creation of Tom Sholtz an MIT grad engineer who recorded and mixed the whole album in his basement to sound like a whole band was playing. Tom played and recorded all the instruments except for drums and hired Brad Delph for vocals. He got a record label interested who didn't know he didn't have a band. The record label wanted him to perform live. He had to hire local talent to form Boston band members.

    1976 was a strange year for music-you had bands like Boston, Styx and Journey-disco,TV & teen idols (John Travolta, Leif Garrett, Shaun Cassidy, David soul) and far too many TV theme songs-SWAT, Baretta, Happy Days, Laverne & shirley, welcome Back Kotter (most as you can see were on the ABC network)-Rockford files in 1975 started the trend-and it continued in later years with Hill Street Blues, the Greatest American Hero etc.

    • @ptournas
      @ptournas 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The basement studio belonged to Tom Scholz, not Brad, and the bulk of the recording, but not all of it, was recorded there. All the vocals were recorded in a California studio, as was the song "Let Me Take You Home Tonight". The final mixing of the tapes also took place in a California studio.

    • @ptournas

      @@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I think you may have a little bit of information mixed up. Tom wouldn't be paying anyone for recording, the record company pays for that. The producer might pay for unforeseen expenses at the studio, but those expenses would be reimbursed by the record company. Also Watertown, Massachusetts, where Tom's studio was is only 200 miles north of NYC, so the boundary to get out of the requirements of Epic Records' union would another 100 miles away.
      When the producer hired by Epic, John Boylan, first met Tom at Tom's studio, he loved what he heard, but told Tom they would have to record in a professional studio. Tom said he wouldn't do that because he couldn't get the same sound anywhere but in his studio, because he had modified so much of the recording equipment and needed to work in his own way. John was about to walk out, when he stopped and told Tom they could try fooling the executives at Epic by telling him they were recording in LA and just doing a couple of songs and the final mix there, and he could do the rest in his basement. He also said he would make Tom co-producer and split his salary with him. As you mentioned, he did love the way Tom recorded the keyboards and especially the electric guitars, but he thought the drums and acoustic guitar sounded amateurish, although John didn't show him how to set them up. Instead he flew in a recording engineer from LA to teach Tom the proper recording techniques for both instruments.
      As far as the union thing, it wasn't about pay. John was concerned that Epic's contract with the union had a clause that at least one union recording technician had to be present at any recording done within 300 miles of NYC. What John was concerned about was that he knew Tom was highly focused and worked best in his own way. Anyone else in the studio would be distracting and annoying to him, possibly creating friction and delays in his work. Since Epic didn't know most of the recording was being done in Tom's basement, John thought he could avoid that trouble by choosing a studio in California, rather thanin the much closer Boston or NY area, to do the recording that they were doing to distract Epic. And that would eliminate the need to have anyone around to bother Tom while he was engrossed in his work.

      @ptournas 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Spo-Dee-O-Dee So true. Even Tom Scholz interviews have changed over the years. After the troubles with the band around the time of the third album he seemed to talk less and less of the contributions of the original members. A lot of the details he used to give in interviews in the first five years he stopped talking about completely. And there were a lot of popular misconceptions that grew among the fans too.
      I knew everyone in the band except for Tom and was good friends with Sibby, so that helped me know a lot of their history. But there's still plenty I don't know and have to search for interviews with people like their original managers and those involved in their recordings and performance to find out about. And even then memories aren't always perfect and sometimes conflict among people about the same experiences.
