Millions upon millions of air guitars have rocked HARD to this over the years.
Mine included,40 years worth of!
50 years later and I still get chills. I saw them live in Detroit in 1982 and during the hand clapping section of the song, people were stomping their feet in unison so hard the whole building was moving. Unbelievable ! Maybe the greatest album of all time.
Was that the random earthquake day, i remember that
Mine was Phila 1987. They opened with Rock & Roll Band and never backed down 🤘🏼😝🤘🏼
Summer 1976. 12 years old and wearing the grooves offf this album 🤘🤘
I was 10 in 76, saw them in 78 at the Orpheum in Boston .. one of my first concerts ..along with the who in 78.. I was a lucky pre teen
roughly the same age... literally wore out the 8-track!
I was 8 and right there with you.
The BEST rock debut album of all time. Writing, mixing, and the whole production are amazing. Tom Scholz and Brad Delp (RIP) are (were) geniuses.
Yep. Boston is in my top 5 bands of all time. Saw them in San Antonio LIVE in 1976, and it was amazing. Then at Montague Mtn. in Pennsylvania in 2003, 27yrs later with my 15yr old son, and was blown away again. Brad's voice was perfect. Tom's musicianship, masterful. The harmonies were so good. Brad's death was such a loss to the R&R world. Tom called him the soul of the band(and Brad said Tom was the heart).
2nd best. Van Halen 1 blows this out of the water. But giving up props fir being number 2, nothing less than stellar songs on the entire album
@@kenkonwick6660 I like Van Halen too, and the only reason why I like more Van Halen songs than Boston is because Boston didn't release many albums. Their albums were works of art and Tom spent years perfecting each one. I'm certain if there was more music from Bostom I would like nearly all of them.
@delscoville yes Boston wasn't unproductive because of Scholz. They had label and contract issues that spent 3 years in court. That the gap between don't look back and 3rd stage. Was 8 years between releases, and at least 3 and maybe as much as 5 years were court related. I was living in Boston when Amanda got it's first radio tease, I think it was 86 or 87. That city was just going crazy in anticipation of it. But I really didn't get into the 3rd album nearly as much as 1st 2 albums
They call it classic rock for a reason.
It’s hard to beat Tom Scholz and Brad Delp. Tom Scholz pretty much played every instrument in his basement originally. He was a musical genius. He was an MIT graduate and developed the siren box that you hear coming from his guitar. That’s why nobody else sounds like them. And that’s Brad Delp singing like a true champion! Literally one of the best and coolest rock ‘n’ roll bands ever to come across the planet.
Crazy that most of these songs were written by 69 and not released until the 70’s
Well said. 👍🏻
Everyone tween and teen, 12 and over, had this album within one week of its release in my little neighborhood!
Boston has been knocking the sickness out of me for decades. "More than a Feeling" is my fav from them coming out in 1976. Still going strong. Glad to see ya back my dear.....😎
More than a feeling still brings the goosebumps and some great memories.
That whole first album is just awesome!
Now imagine this young lady you're 17 years old, just graduated high school, working a summer job for about $2 an hour and you hear a song off this record.
I was that 17 year old in August of 1976. This record was killer from the first track to the last.
Oh there are a number of videos. The one closest to the release date is from Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey from 1978 or 1979. The video quality isn't that great but the sound is amazing for the seventies and probably 8 or 16 millimeter photography.
I'm 15, soon to be 16 at this time. That puts me in the wheelhouse on this one, too. It was a little different than anything else I had heard.
Are we related?
Yep....16 yrs old when this came out....we were so lucky !!
I saw them as a 12 year old, fittingly in Boston at the Orpheum (I think) in78/79
look close at that album cover ,the "spaceships" are Les Pal guitars. and the drummer Sib Hansen RIP was the father in law of The Rock . Best debut album in rock history ,Brad was one of the best and kindest singers ever
Flip the album over and you can see the guitar better
@@user-hh2ki2gc1n I painted it on the deck lid of a 69 Z/28 for a customer of mine a month after the album was released.
Hi , I always thought it was Ovation guitars, I'm actually pretty sure it is
nope they're Les Paul's Tom also said so in several interviews. He had a hand in the album cover design as he did in every aspect of Boston. They're based on his own heavily modified gold top he plays@@larsjensen2987
Actually those are Ovation guitars, unique back made from fiberglass
Rogue every song on this album was played on the radio. Its impossible not to feel good after listening to Boston.
Still today this album gets lot of air play on classic rock radio
Although it's a classic rock song, it has a hell of soul also.
classic rock had more soul than anything today because it's roots was in every type music soul,blues,country,jazz
Best car audio album of all time
1978. Pay attention to what music and love used to be.
Girl, you just tapped into a song of timeless proportion. I graduated in '78... and you have to understand, that this song.. and the work by Boston.. permeated all that was going on.. was played - was rocked.. everywhere, and was such.. .a beat of the heart and of the moment, throughout that time. It was truly incredible, to have been through that amazing time in this thing called life! Ohhh they set a bar, indeed.. and one that is rarely met. ~~LOVE~~ what you do, and how you do it. Love your vibe, love the power and genuineness in what you do.. glad you are better.. and keep up what you are doing! Peace - happiness - goodness - to you I wish - always! Awesome reaction vid! Thank you!
I am a '78 grad too and agree with everything you just said
Grad from ‘77 here. 🤟
Class of ‘78 here. What a year it was for music!
You could spend an entire day reading / watching stories just about the making of the incredible album. You've probably heard about how Brian May & his dad built his now famous guitar from spare parts & scrap they had laying around the house - this guy built an entire recording studio in his basement, and designed amps / effects pedals from scratch just to get the exact sound he wanted.
@theritchie2173 the so called "hyper space pedal" was a modified echo plex tape loop echo machine which Tom most certainly did not invent, build or manufacture "from scratch". EVH was using and modifying echo plex machines at about this time as well. The EVH modified echo plex can be heard on his famous instrumental solo Eruption.
@@neechee5150 He did, however, design the Rockman, and the first ever power soak attenuator, and a whole pile of other stuff. Much as I loved Eddie, only one of these guys was an MIT graduate design engineer.
@@theritchie2173 Tom's degrees from MIT are in mechanical engineering. Second, Tom's first "powersoak" was a large theater lighting system variable resistor which Tom most certainly did not make or design "from scratch". Tom was not the only one trying to get the power tubes to clip and saturate naturally either. EVH was using the Variac to get the sound he wanted without driving the Marshalls so hard that they made everyone deaf as well. Also designing a reactive load to emulate a speaker is not quantum mechanics, and I question whether there is documented proof that Tom was the first one to use a "power soak".
@@neechee5150Manufacturing Engineers cover a lot of ground - I should know, I used to be one. There are lots of inventions throughout history which were 'obvious' right after the first guy did it (blah, blah parallel development).
Will you at least grant him the Rockman, even though Eddie was no doubt doing the same thing while making breakfast pancakes at the same time? It even has his name on it, right there on the casing.
A true Genius!
Mostly recorded in Tom Scholz's basement studio on equipment, still in use today, he designed and built. He also played all the instruments as well as composed, recorded and mixed EVERYTHING. Brad Delp's vocals and some of drummer Sib Hashian's licks were recorded in a pro studio so Tom could get the sound he wanted. Both have since passed on (Sib on stage!) and Brad by suicide. At one time it was the biggest selling debut album of all time. The whole album in genius. The group did tour, but they could never really recreate the sound of the studio.
@carlswenson5538 Toms tracks on this record were recorded on a Sculley 12 track one inch tape machine and a Dan Flickinger mixer/console both of which Tom did not use on the second record because he upgraded his console and went to the industry standard 24 track two inch tape machine.
Brad wrote Let Me Take You Home Tonight and he Co wrote Smokin'. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios on their new and then top of the line API console. Producer John Boylan, engineer Warren Dewey and Tom mixed this record. Tom was so hell bent on pushing the electric guitars and cymbals that in order to keep the vocals from being buried in the mix, the API console was driven into "manual compression".
All of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C on their Quad Eight console through a Neuman U 87 solid state mic and those high end mic preamps, eqs and compressors along with the Neuman 87 made a world of difference. The vocal production is 100% Boylan. The entire song Let Me Take You Home was recorded at The Record Plant LA by producer John Boylan.
Tom did not play a single drum track on this record and the record is so much better for this fact. Tom is not going to be mistaken for Vinnie Colaiuta, Jeff Porcaro or Bernard Purdie not even on the third cold day in hell. As is clearly documented in the liner notes of every copy of the Boston debut record even the remix--all drum tracks on this record were played by Sib except for one and Jim Masdea plays drums on that track which happens to be Rock and Roll Band.
Tom did not play all of the guitar and bass tracks on this record either. Barry plays electric rhythm guitar on Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. Barry plays the monster power chords on Long Time as well as the amazing lead guitar solo on Long Time. Barry also plays lead and slide guitar on Let Me Take You Home.. Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad plays acoustic 12 string on Let Me Take You Home. This is all documented in the post litigation liner notes of the 2006 Scholz remix of the debut Boston record. Most of this is also documented as fact in legal documents where Tom had to tell the story under oath in the law suits between Tom and Barry. In spite of Toms best efforts, Barry still retains his share of the royalties from the first and second Boston records, and thee are very good reasons why Tom was not able to take this from him.
I saw them six times and to say they couldn’t recreate the sound live is just 🐂💩
Barry Goudreau played the awesome lead guitar solos on "Long Time", not Scholz. Is well documented. Barry also played guitar on "Let Me Take You Home Tonight".
This song came out in '76 when I was 18 . This style of music was a breath of fresh air 🌬️
Boston was incredible Saw them 7 times starting at Ohio State in 1976. My ears rang for 2 days after each concert.
Don’t Look Back is my ALL TIME favorite Boston song
All recorded on tape no autotune shit🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 PURE TALENT
Thanks for the memories lol when I was a kid every time I went anywhere with my dad first thing he'd do was put in cassette in of boston if it wasn't playing on the radio lol thanks again for the memories 👍
🇨🇦 LOL in the 1970's we celebrated to all the cities, Boston, Chicago, etc.
Spaceship guitars. That's a theme for their albums. Tom is an MIT-trained mechanical engineer. He built a sound studio in a basement. Did most of the music except the vocals. Wrote most of the tracks except for one, and co-wrote another with Brad Delp (RIP). He did all of this while working at Polaroid. This album is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "Definitive 200" list. Sound of a generation. :-)
I’ve listened to this for almost 50 years, and I am still amazed by it.
If you look at the album cover again, what looks to be a spaceship is actually an upside down acoustic guitar with blue flames coming out of the hole in the center of the guitar. Trivia!
Inside the bubble on top is the skyline of Boston!!!
On the first release of the album, each of the guitar city-ships had the name of a major American city, with the Boston Ship being the most prominent. They chose to remove the name from the other ships on re-releases, to not take a chance on people getting confused.
I saw Boston in concert in 1976 and have been a fan ever since.
First time I heard Boston was in 78, late at night on a small radio I hid under my sheets, my ear stuck to the loudspeaker. Mind blown... 3 years later, when I finally had the money, I bought Tom Sholtz’s Rockman pre-amp to get the Boston sound and play More Than a Feeling and the rest of the album. 40 years later, I still love Boston. My favorite song: Amanda.
Best Debut album of all time worthy of listening to every song on this album.
Would Pearl Jam's 10 be 2nd best?
I first hear d this album I was around 15 or 16 years old 1978 - 79 , and simply put I was blown away . As soon as I could scrape up the money back then I went and bought the album and it has been in my collection and on my regular playlist ever since . The record has been long gone, but my CD player still gets a workout with this album. . Every song is a masterpiece ... Enjoy this rabbit hole ,it is well worth the dive !!
MY very first concert way back in May of 1979, was a "Day On The Green" in Oakland Ca. The line up was Eddie Fleischman, Sammy Haggar. Eddie Money and Boston was the headliner. To this day the best concert I have ever been to.
I saw Fleetwood Mac, The Doibie Bros, Peter Frampton, and Gary Wright in 1976 Day on the Green. I was 12. 😆 I'll never forget it. Those were the days! ❤️✌️
Love seeing new fans born
I love watchin the youngsters hearing real rock and roll for the first time. This epic band and album transformed music production as we know it today. Tom and Brad we the very best of what rock and roll was. Spread the good cheer. Rock and roll lives on forever in Boston.
I was on a small break to the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. I came across this old vintage record shop. As we passed this shop….. in the window was this cover of an album looking at me. It was this album….. well, I went in the shop and bought it. I took it back to the U.K. with me. I am about to put in a frame and hang it on the wall. 😊😊😊
This song and album is a pure masterpiece ❤
Tom Scholz is a genius. Graduated from MIT. Created a lot of this in his own studio, etc; but I digress...
Thank you for reminding me how f'n AMAZING Boston is.
The best debut album of all time the entire album is fire 🔥
All done in the early 1970’s before personal computers. Just 3 guys in a basement that blew our minds back in 76, and it sounds as fresh today as it did back then great reaction
Good ole rock and roll can cure the sickness
Just when you think it could not get any better, it does. I LOVE this album. I was a young man in the Army when it came out and it made barracks life much, much better.
The word genius is banded around far too easily but with regards to this album.....it really is a work of genius👏👏I doubt if theres ever been a better debut album.
That break in the guitar at 8:33.....where the organ/keyboard is so prominent....that is what gets to me.
"Transforming the world with excellent guitar playing."...
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Cant help but smile with clasic rock
Nearly 50 years on, and I still get goosebumps listening to this album.
The whole album is one of a very few where every song is good. CRANK IT UP!!!!
Boston is great guitar rock,,,,,💥💥💥🤘😎
This Boston album is regarded as one of the finest debut albums in rock music history. You couldn't go wrong with literally every single song on the album. So many hits, so many hours on the radio, and of course we played their 8-track cassettes and vinyl albums incessantly at that time.
Saw them in a small indoor venue live in 1977 and it was so good. Really incredible. I was in junior high and I had the ticket stub for a long time, it was $7.50 including all fees and taxes.
Awesome song!!
Hey Pa! 😅
@@SarahDenglerhi Sarah!!
I'm 59 years old, but when I hear Boston if feel 16 again. The songs on that album are an integral part of my heart and soul. Part of the soundtrack of my life. And, for the record, every song on that album is an absolute banger.
BOSTON PUTS EVERYONE IN A GOOD MOOD..EVERY SONG...
This debut album was recorded before there even was a band. All the instruments were played and recorded by Tom Shultz and the vocal tracks by Brad Delp later. When the album became an instant success, Tom had to put together a band, which was difficult because not many people had the musical levels of proficiency that Tom had, all by himself. The bands tours were difficult, as fans soon realized that the band was better in studio than live.
A side note……I also lost some of my smell and taste, thanks to Covid. Glad your back. I really enjoy your reactions. 😎😍🇨🇦
@MrPolleyr The band as pictured on the back of the record recorded the song Let Me Take You Home before this record was finished and released.
Tom does not play a single drum track on this record and the record is far better off for this fact. As is clearly documented in the liner notes of every copy of this record both the original and the Scholz remix-Sib plays drums on all tracks except for one and Jim Masdea plays drums on that track.
Tom has never played the solo to Long Time and I challenge you to find a video of him doing so. Then look for videos of Barry playing the lead solo on Long Time It will become very apparent that Barry is the creator of the lead guitar solo on Long Time. This and a more complete listing of credits as to who did what on this record can be found in the post litigation liner notes of the 2006 Scholz remaster of the debut Boston record.
All of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios by producer John Boylan, engineer Warren Dewey and Tom.
Barry introduced Brad to Tom about the time that Tom auditioned to play keyboards in Barrys band sometime in 1969/1970. Barry played on Toms early demos and Brad sang on Toms demos and Barry, Brad and Tom played in bands together. The idea that Brad and Barry were just musicians that Tom found to sing on his demo and play this music live is both absurd and patently false
Bummer , sorry you had to deal with that mess , glad you're feelin better!
thanks for reviewing one of the greatest songs ever recorded in modern history. enjoy...many many millions of us have.
Speaking of "just take the ride". . Knowing your taste in good music, HITCH A RIDE by Boston, will be so cool for you to enjoy. . LONG TIME is an experience no doubt. . . Great reaction, groove'n with you. . . And much love ❤ ✌👍🙏🇺🇸🇩🇰🏴☠️
Boston didn’t produce many albums but what they did produce was fantabulously scrumtralescent.
This was a great choice to react to, especially if you've never heard it before. Brad Delp, the lead singer of Boston, is one of the great rock vocalists of all time. And most people don't even know his name. That whole first album by Boston is one of the best debut albums by any band ever. Just a killer album front to back. Thank you for this ✌🏻❤️
So glad your back, love your reactions. Great Band Boston
I saw this group in the 70s with their first album Christmas Eve at the palace in Waterbury never forget Them Tom Schultz what an amazing guitarist
Glad you're back we missed you something awful BOSTON the band I know every word of every song single song they played when I was in my teens when I went with my dad we got into his mustang which I still have to this very day the very first thing he did was reach into the glove compartment and pull out one of they're cassettes and it went straight into the cassette player it got to the point whenever we drove together both of us would be singing along with whatever song my dad played lol and to this very day I still have all the cassettes and his ford mustang which I had refurbished with leather bucket seats and had it painted the original candy apple red dang this song brings back memories good ones at that and once again that's what sets you apart from the rest darlin the very music you bring to the table thanks for the memories ❤👍
An occasional period followed by a capital letter would go a long way in making your comments actually readable, darlin.
One of the first vinyl albums I owned and still have it 40 years later ❤
Spaceship? You mean the upside down guitar? 😂 Best debut rock album ever imho…glad you are back. I missed you! ❤
this has everything in it.. I can't label it at all. in is enthralling and keeps drawing me back to it.. Very nice reaction RogueRxyce!
This has to be the BEST breakout album of all time!!!! They could have retired after this one!!!
'Retired'? Not at all. Record companies got all and more. Wasn't till years much later and due delays that Boston...Tom got $$
Thanks for taking me back to 1977 with this song. It has been my go-to song on the way to the hockey rink for my pre-game pump up for decades! Your reaction to this was great! Glad you are past the Covid. Stay healthy, Rogue!
Been listening to this for 47 years and it NEVER gets old
I grew up with boston. My dad has this exact record. Trip down memory lane ❤😊
Boston was the first band I went to see in concert in the fall of 1978 in Minneapolis. Sammy Hagar warmed up for them (I hadn't heard of him at that time) and then Boston opened up with the song, "Rock And Roll Band", which is a story about the timeline of the band. If you haven't heard it, I highly recommend it.
Ah This was the Music to grow up with, it never gets old. More Than a Feeling is still one of my all time favorites 🎸🎸
Welcome back purrdy lady..great song..I pretend to be a conductor when this first came out..yup iam old
Those spaceships are the guitars coming to take you on a journey, great reaction
We missed you
It’s a perfect record and was our soundtrack when it came out. Epic. I bought the vinyl record back in the 70s.
That's Tom Scholz on Guitar...and bass....and drums...and keyboard. He did get Brad Delp to do the singing, so he didn't do everything himself. But he did do it in his basement. This album blew peoples minds, the concept of one person producing something like this was unthinkable at the time.
Welcome back. About the "familiar sounding" bit you described (the acoustic "Well I'm takin' my time" bit). It reminds me of the instrumental electric guitar break on Jet (Wings). The rhythm is very similar to me. Maybe that's why it gave you a little deja vu. Get well and again, welcome back.
Second vid of yours I have watched. I love your infectious smile! You really enjoy music and feel it through your soul! ❤ Boston is one of my favorite good old fashioned Rock and Roll bands!
I’ve met the lead singer Brad Delp who was an amazing vocalist! He was actually fronting a Beatles cover band at the time. I was thinking the whole time I wish he had sang some Boston songs. Sadly he is no longer with us..he gave us many musical gifts ❤
Yes, fun for us in high school back then. As noted already, one of the best debut rock band albums ever 😊
I agree. I was born in 84 but grew up rocking to this record and yes every song on this album could have been a #1 hit song. It's a shame that music is not this good these days.
As a much younger man I got to see them twice live...it was awesome! That whole era of music was magic, glad to see a new generation discovering it.
Friggin classic and I still love the pulse of the drum approaching.. Used to play it in my sisters ex-boyfriends car because he had an 8 track of it in the late '70's. My girlfriend was with me and the track Foreplay was apt.... Whoohoo.. Description of the guitarist is hope meets dorkiness... Scholz would never be described as a weilder of a weapon really. More a thrower of a frisbee... I can only hope the fingers of recovery have permeated the sinus of Rogue..
Saw them in concert at the Sun Dome in Tampa, FL. in 1995. What a crowd! While waiting for the concert to start, we saw a man with greying hair in his' 50's walk in, wearing a Tux. His date was a stunning blonde in a light blue floor length evening gown with a tiara, diamond earrings/necklace and white elbow length gloves. 10 feet behind them, in walked a woman in her 30's wearing a black bustier, leather short shorts, fishnet stockings, thigh-high boots and black leather gloves. In her hand was a silver chained dog leash. This leash was attach to the collar of the man she was leading in. He was wearing black combat boots, black leather pants, a black leather vest (no shirt), spiked leather dog collar and a full head black leather mask with only breathing holes! I told my friends "This Concert just went to the next level"!! The concert was awesome!
Another great song from this album HITCH A RIDE!
The more pauses=longer videos which =more Royce time for us 🧡
Back when music was at its best! They were artists not performers like today. The lead singer, Brad Delp was a top 5 singer of rock.
Now, to blow your mind...
- Look at the album cover upside down.
- This music was made by just two guys - Tom Scholz playing every instrument and Brad Delp singing ALL the vocals and harmonies.
- The album was recorded in Tom Scholz' basement on his multi-track recorder.
- The "band" Boston was formed solely to take the album on tour after it became a hit.
Probably the most underrated guitar player ever!...Tom Scholz.
If you haven't done More Than a Feeling from Boston, that should be next! Brad Delp sounds amazing! Such a great voice!
What a voice and what a guitar sound👼
I just got over that Covid, yesterday. Finally, better. Glad you are feeling better, too. I bought this album when it first came out and wore it out.
saw this vid and now have to listen to cool the engines this one is in my head riding my motorcycle
Such a fun review to such a great feel good song. Old guy but you don't know what I'm talking about but the time it took to record this song on cassette, play on sony headphones while jogging! Imagine the work to remember the best spots of cd for songs. Cassette recorder, batteries, cd to cassette recorder, etc? Funny only 25 years ago
This song is epic, growing up ith my parents playing this, so fun
IMO about the best rock song ever made. 👍😊👍😊
I saw this band live. They sounded as good live, as they did on their recordings. They are forever etched in my mind.
I listened to the first two Boston albums over and over in my car 8-track in the early 80s. Brings back good memories.
Brad Delp had an amazing voice. You didn't loose your great smile either...lol
Free spirited, energetic song!!! The 70's Rock beyond belief!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎸🥁🎤🎧🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Not UFOs there Flaming Guitars.❤
Imagine hearing this on full blast as your waking up in the morning...
yep, that's what my neighbors thought too!
The vocals are just amazing!!! His ending was so sad!!! Every guitar solo is perfectly melodic! You can sing along with it!!!
Well, you can TRY. Brads range was almost unlimited
One of the best bands I ever have seen live.. amazing musicians
I have MISSED you! Sorry to be so unaware you were sick. Prayers for your continued recovery.
You did indeed a great song to mark your return with.
I was a snot-nosed 13 yr old 8th grade young man when this album came out, so my music knowledge was [probably stil IS] limited; but I still recall how blown away I was listening to it.
No one should ever pause a Boston song. Killin me smalls😂
