Yes it was one of best album in rock. I still think it's funny that when they exploded onto the scene and they were all over the radio and we were all rocking to it, There still wasn't really a band put together yet. This album was mostly Tom and Brad goofing around in Toms basement on Homemade equipment Tom built himself.. But again. A fantastic album where every single song was a home run.
I tend to agree. Music of that era was awesome in my opinion. There have been some amazing artists since then, but I keep going back to the originals of the 60s and 70s.
"More Than A Feeling" is one of the most perfectly written songs, ever recorded. It is beautiful, complex, uplifting, and unique. This will lead to another rabbit hole!
Foreigner has to be done as well. It feels like the first time & Jukebox hero, too! Throw in some Loverboy and April Wine! Oh yeah! Old school baby!😍〽️
MollyBoy, as a 61-year-old man who grew up with this music, it thrills me to see younger generations react it. I'm glad you liked it. The 70's had the best music ever. Pure talent and pure voice. No auto-tune. No A.I. Great reaction video. 👍👍
62 here🎶🎵🎼 I wonder if this young man understands that his audience for reaction to music videos is our generation because we want to keep this music alive
Buddy, the ENTIRE ALBUM is AWESOME, there is not a bad song on the album. This is the perfect summer cruising song. Has one of the best voices of all time. You need to get the whole album or do a whole show on this one LP.
Brad Delp is like the most underrated singer of like ever. The whole record is a rabbit hole in itself. Written in produced by the guitarist Tom Scholz and recorded in his bloody basement. Getting this quality out of someone's basement in the 70. Pure masterpiece
There are NO bad songs from Boston. His voice was incredible. God I am so glad I lived during this era. It will never be beat! The whole album deserves a play dude... you wont regret it!
Yes, if you could not actually _sing_ back in the day you did not get a recording contract. Today is a joke in comparison with auto-tune and pitch correction. 🙄🤷
This was actually recorded by 2 people . Tom Stoltz recorded all instreuments and Brad Delp did all vocals . The other 3 were brought in so they would have a touring band
The most diverse music in history was in the 1970’s. The talent was mind boggling. You are listening to the best male vocalist in rock Brad Delp. RIP Brad
This album is a masterpiece from beginning to end, it really deserves a full listen! Don't worry, the views will be there since it's beloved by so many people ;)
As every new generation comes along, they think "their" music is the shit. Until they are introduced to the MUSIC from the '70s & '80s. Everyone from GenX is grateful for being alive during that time. I still have my 40ish year old Boston CD, right alongside Back In Black and Moving Pictures.
Gen Jones grew up on this stuff. I can remember my brother playing guitar to all these songs on the radio. He still plays and I still listen to this music
Not in the same League I agree but we also did Sully today and I absolutely LOVE Godsmack. Different era and different sound I know but they are still fucking fabulous too 💕
Considered by an unbelievable majority of listeners to be the best debut album ever done. There are 8 songs on this album. All will catch your likes and respect. Thank you for another great job. 🤟😁
Many critics and fellow pro musicians all agree this album is one of Rocks all time greatest debut albums ever! The ENTIRE ALBUM is INSANELY LIT!!!! Enjoy this one bro, your in for a helluva ride.
A “classic rock” song but Brad Delp was honestly a guy who could sing any genre and sound great. He’s one of very, very few higher pitched/clean voices that I truly enjoy
I enjoy your reactions to the music of my generation. I'm 70 and still only listen to what we call classic Rock. I'm seeing the younger generations are really starting to react and enjoy the older music and appreciate that it was authentic and raw talent unlike today's music.❤
Boston is an amazing band. The singer is Brad Delp and yes he had an incredible voice. It was amazing to grow up in the 70s and hear this music on the radio every day. ❤❤❤
Backstory is incredible. Tom Scholtz was a MIT trained engineer at Polaroid, a camera company. He moonlit playing in rock bands around Boston. He had trouble getting the sounds he wanted out of existing performance and recording equipment. He used his engineering skills to design, build and invent his own. He built a studio in his basement and played and recorded most of what you heard here himself. He brought in Brad Delp to do that incredible stratospheric vocal and Sib Hashian to play drums. Next from Boston, react to “Foreplay/Long Time.”
it was a great album.....Chicago Transit Authority would give it a run though......first album of Chicago. Beginnings, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, I'm a Man, Questions 67 and 68,
I caught Boston from my older brother who had a 69 Road Runner convertible. Fast forward to the mid-80s & I was the one crusin the strip on the weekends, just jammin to this entire album…in my 72 Challenger! 😎
I was 14 when this album came out. My hot older neighbor woke me up on my birthday and handed me the record. I did not leave my room that day...too bad she did. Forever grateful to her.
I can tell you exactly what I was doing when I first heard this song. It was 1976, I was 17 years old, smoking a lot of pot, in a 68 Camero spinning donuts in a dirt field with my friends standing on the side around a bonfire at 11 pm. I don't know how we survived with all the crazy things we did in our youth. I'm so grateful for the songs and memories.
Song like this were made in an era that the ENTIRE album was great. Just start it and let it play, no fillers or out of place single just for the radio!!
This was the first song on their first album. It exploded onto the scene overnight, and was on the radio constantly. We were like, "Who ARE these people??" One of the top selling debut albums of all time.
I my humble opinion the 70's had the best music, perhaps it's because it was the music of my youth but there was such a variety of music from bands like Aerosmith, Boston, ELO, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Rush, Foghat and on and on and on. Keep it up, you'll discover a world of great music.
This album was written and recorded by Tom Scholz (The guitarist in the silver jump suit) in his apartment building BASEMENT in 1974/75. That was unheard of back then, he built all of his own recording equipment (He was an engineer at Polaroid) and was an electronics genius as well as an amazing songwriter. Imagine getting these kinds of sounds on home-made analog recording equipment in a basement in the mid 70s, absolutely amazing.
Yeah. Boston was never a band I paid attention to or cared about, but playing pool in bars the vast majority of my life, it's hard not to come to the eventual realization that they're one of the most talented bands ever.
Most of the studio stuff, except vocals, was done by one guy... Tom Scholz. I believe he did hire a drummer to re-cut the drum tracks for the album, but he has played those as well originally. Guitars and organ on the album are all Tom.
Every single song on this debut album is a banger. You can't go wrong. You have to listen to every one of them and then go on to the second album which is just as good. You're going to be blown away
I was a teen in the 80’s which was pretty cool …but it would be awesome to somehow magically be a teen in the 50’s …the 60’s …and the 70’s …just to experience the music/culture of those three decades as a young person
There are certain albums that should probably be in any vinyl collection. Boston's first album is one of them. Both a musical and engineering masterpiece.
For many of us who grew up with this music, listening to it now is extra special because it comes attached with the memories of a special time in our lives.
If you haven't listened to the isolated vocals for this song, do yourself a favor. And remember there was no autotune. If it doesn't make you cry, nothing will.
More BOSTON: "Foreplay / Long Time", "Smokin'", and "Hitch a Ride". FYI - this video is not a live performance; the audio is a radio edit of the studio recording. The lead singer, Brad Delp (R.I.P.), sings all of the harmonies (the rest of the band is lip-syncing for the video to appear to be live). This song is the first track on their 1976 debut album, which remained the best selling debut album in history for the next 8 years.
The studio version is over a minute longer (i think it has an extra verse). That was common practice at the time, they would have a shorter AM radio version so they could cram more songs into each hour.
This is actually the studio version of the song, the entire band (even Brad) is lip-syncing to this, it was to make a promotional video - because they were an unknown band at the time. There's not even an audience in the video. They're playing to an empty room.
This might be the most classic of classic rock songs. Amazing band with an actual genius at the helm, Tom went to M.I.T (I believe). He's one of those guitarists that has his own unique sound. This first album of theirs is arguably the greatest debut in rock history (although there are others I would consider). Other great songs to check out are "Peace of Mind", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Don't Look Back", and "Feelin Satisfied".
"Boston" the whole first album was KILLER !! It was the biggest selling "Debut" album EVER !! Most of the instruments were played by one man. Tom Scholtz, the lead guitar player and it was all recorded and mixed in his basement in Weymouth, Mass. He even shopped the demo to all the record companies. He was an electrical Engineer and made the guitar effects too. The man is a G-E-N-I-U-S !! He has a few YT interviews you must hear.
This song is on Boston’s debut album. When it came out it was the biggest selling debut album of all time. And like, say, Fleetwood Mac “Rumors” every track is gold
When I first heard this song in the 70's when I grew up, I was blown away and still am today! Unbee-lieevable vocals!! No one matches this except Steve Perry! And Perry is incredible!
I was 11 in 1976 when this came out. This was the first album I bought with my allowance. Never heard anything like this before, my jaw was dropped the second the needle hit, the acoustic fade in on More Than A Feeling, Peace Of Mind, Foreplay/Longtime, Rock And Roll Band, Smokin, Hitch A Ride, Something About You, and Let Me Take You Home Tonight! Not a filler in the bunch! Brad Delp (RIP) my absolute favorite rock singer and the founder Tom Scholz (MIT grad) ,guitars, keyboards recorded everything in his basement. The other guys on the back cover are Sib Hashian on drums, Barry Goudreau on guitars, and Fran Sheehan on bass. Great album! Don't Look Back, in my opinion, is phenomenal too, just not quite as good. Debut 5 stars, Don't Look Back 4.5 stars for me anyway! Enjoy!
This was one of the biggest debut albums of the 70’s. Just burst on the scene and pretty much every song on the album became single hits. HUGE on rock radio.
Boston is one of my favorite groups and many of their songs have a GOOD feeling vib. A band ahead of their time and a unique standout in the mid 70's. This song and "Foreplay / Long Time" are favorites from Boston.
I am from Boston Brad Delp ( vocals) peformed regularly with his Beatles tribute band " Beatlejuice" right down the street from me. I saw his last performance before tragically tsking his own life. He was the nicest most down to earth cat you could meet.
Not only do i love this music, always have always will but, I also love watching you react to it simply because it seems to put You in a good mood and a good place. Which is exactly what this music should do to a person.
Oh yeah, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands ever! Boston is a pillar of classic rock, & this album is one of best ever. I wore this cassette out cruisin the strip on the weekends back in the 80s!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤘
Just like Kansas "Boston" is GOLD. You're going to like everything they do. And again...yes, 1970's again. And the genre' is called "soft rock'. They older you get the more you're going to DUMP the current garbage for the perfection of the 70's music.
You can't beat Boston's vocal and guitar harmonies. And, yes, Brad Delp had one of the top most powerful rock voices of all time. So much enjoying your reactions to songs of MY time (well, very young teen at the time).
Lead guitarist Tom Sholtz was an electrical engineer. He wrote and recorded the first Boston album by himself in his basement studio then brought in Brad Delp to lay down the vocals. He even built his own amp to get that exact guitar sound that he heard in his head.
Youll probably read somewhere that Brad's voice was considered one of the best in all areas of the facet, namely his ranges he could hit. Most excellent reaction!!!

Molly, "I like singers with higher pitched voices"
Brad Delp, "Hold my beer"

Boy that guy sucked all the wind out of his own sails didn't he?
Great pipes on Brad. Think you would like also lead singer for Kansas, Steve Walsh. Might start with "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas.
@@gregcable3250 I'm not sure which song, but he did indeed do a Kansas song today.
Lol, yes!
We may not have had cell phones or internet in the 70s but we had the best music ever.
Absolutely mate!
Love all of Boston's Song's ❤❤❤❤❤
Truth
Coolest chicks an cars too mate
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT PISS ON THE 80s
1976 - one of the best years in music. Boston's self-titled debut. Every single song on this record is classic genius. Every. Single. One.
Yes, indeed
Yes it was one of best album in rock. I still think it's funny that when they exploded onto the scene and they were all over the radio and we were all rocking to it, There still wasn't really a band put together yet.

You are correct.
And the year I was born. Brought up on this bliss ❤
KANSAS.. CARY ON WAY WORD SON DUST IN THE WIND PETER FRAMPTON. COMES ALIVE. STEVE MILLER.S GREATEST HITS 1976
Welcome to the 70's where the music was better than any other era in history.
Pity everything else was way worse than any era ;)
The best times ❤❤❤
Think 80's compete very well.

Its called talent.

"More Than A Feeling" is one of the most perfectly written songs, ever recorded. It is beautiful, complex, uplifting, and unique. This will lead to another rabbit hole!
Foreigner has to be done as well. It feels like the first time & Jukebox hero, too! Throw in some Loverboy and April Wine! Oh yeah! Old school baby!😍〽️
Boston not a terrible rabbit hole but their lead singer on the other hand.... Maybe not the best rabbit hole to go down lol
ELO is a must dive!! Hell yeah! Experience it Molls!
And a perfectly written album!
It's one of the most perfectly recorded songs ever recorded or produced .

62 here🎶🎵🎼 I wonder if this young man understands that his audience for reaction to music videos is our generation because we want to keep this music alive
56 here and loving the jams I grew up with!!
Holy crap. I was in the 8th grade when this came out. Was great then and still kicks ass
Buddy, the ENTIRE ALBUM is AWESOME, there is not a bad song on the album. This is the perfect summer cruising song. Has one of the best voices
of all time. You need to get the whole album or do a whole show on this one LP.
Omg yes I Love this whole album!!!
I always listen to this and their follow up "Don't Look Back", back to back. Both exceptional LP's.
Yeppers. One of the few cases where a band's debut album is also their greatest hits album.
This was the first album I ever bought. It never gets old.
Agreed. This album has NO wasted space. Every song is worthwhile.
48 years later and IT NEVER GETS OLD
You just listened to one of the greatest songs of all time.
YES
In my opinion, Brad Delp was one of the best vocalists in rock music of all time. Rest in peace sweet angel.❤
Brad Delp is like the most underrated singer of like ever. The whole record is a rabbit hole in itself. Written in produced by the guitarist Tom Scholz and recorded in his bloody basement. Getting this quality out of someone's basement in the 70. Pure masterpiece
Dimebag Darrell once said that it doesn't matter how metal you are if you can't headbang to this song you're a poser (paraphrasing slightly lol)
In Dime We Trust 🤘
Never knew that. Cool!
RIP Dime Bag!
There are NO bad songs from Boston. His voice was incredible. God I am so glad I lived during this era. It will never be beat! The whole album deserves a play dude... you wont regret it!
You must also remember that this was recorded before AUTO TUNE was invented.
Yes, if you could not actually _sing_ back in the day you did not get a recording contract. Today is a joke in comparison with auto-tune and pitch correction. 🙄🤷
You must remember, get off my lawn.
it was recorded in a "home studio" Tom Schultz built in a basement and engineered it all himself.

You know your listening to GREAT music when 30-40-50 yrs later people are still blown away by the talent, and sound
Foreplay/Longtime is even better
Listen to foreplay/ longtime
It's good but it ain't better lol
The build up and payoff on it is just crazy good!.
My favourite 😎
Came here to say the same thing... Foreplay/ long time is the BEST

Sully has incredible vocals too!! ❤
Not in the same League I agree but we also did Sully today and I absolutely LOVE Godsmack. Different era and different sound I know but they are still fucking fabulous too 💕

The debut albums by Boston and the cars are the best albums ever written.
Maybe Supertramp too?
Boston's debut album was the highest selling debut in history at the time.
I have both those albums. So good.
Yes! Love The Cars!!
Van Halen also had a great debut album.
No autotune bro. Straight up talent.🤘
A “classic rock” song but Brad Delp was honestly a guy who could sing any genre and sound great. He’s one of very, very few higher pitched/clean voices that I truly enjoy
Him and Steve Perry

The greatest debut album ever. Literally every song you hear on rock radio stations today.
I'd rank Queensrÿche's debut album up there as well.
An argument can be made for Toto's debut album.
Let me correct you. Greatest rock album of all time!!!!!
@dagwood00049 sorry Georgy porgy doesn't hold a candle to this. I like Toto but come on!!!lol

To add to your comment they were refused by many record companies.
That's a good backstory. Enjoyed!
I just love how the lead vocals go high, then higher, then somehow merge into the instrumentals so you can't tell where one ends and the next starts.
It's so gratifying to see someone of your age appreciating these 70's songs- i was your age when this came out in '76....😊
One of the best things about 70s and 80s music... NO AUTO-TUNE! It's nothing but pure talent!!!
If not the best, then it’s one of the best first albums ever released by a rock band.
Front to back, it is 100% the best debut album of all time.
it was a great album.....Chicago Transit Authority would give it a run though......first album of Chicago. Beginnings, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, I'm a Man, Questions 67 and 68,

Yeah. Long before I was sitting watching young dudes reacting to our '70s music, I was on my way to the beach in a 1970 Charger with this blasting. ❤

Can never get tired of Boston. Their whole first album deserves a reaction.
The whole album is quality, foreplay/long time is one (two?) of my favourites
Yup.
Agree.. Long time and more... Most awesome!
Probably the greatest debut album ever!!!! The whole album is a genuine banger.
You gotta do Foreplay/longtime by Boston. Amazing stuff, prog feel in the intro, great playing and singing all around.
I was 14 when this album came out. My hot older neighbor woke me up on my birthday and handed me the record. I did not leave my room that day...too bad she did. Forever grateful to her.

There wasn't a single household that didn't have this album. It was ubiquitous. It belongs in a time capsule in space.

Not a filler in the bunch! Brad Delp (RIP) my absolute favorite rock singer and the founder Tom Scholz (MIT grad) ,guitars, keyboards recorded everything in his basement. The other guys on the back cover are Sib Hashian on drums, Barry Goudreau on guitars, and Fran Sheehan on bass. Great album! Don't Look Back, in my opinion, is phenomenal too, just not quite as good. Debut 5 stars, Don't Look Back 4.5 stars for me anyway! Enjoy!
This was one of the biggest debut albums of the 70’s. Just burst on the scene and pretty much every song on the album became single hits. HUGE on rock radio.
Boston is one of my favorite groups and many of their songs have a GOOD feeling vib. A band ahead of their time and a unique standout in the mid 70's. This song and "Foreplay / Long Time" are favorites from Boston.
“That vibe” is TALENT
I am from Boston
Brad Delp ( vocals) peformed regularly with his Beatles tribute band " Beatlejuice" right down the street from me. I saw his last performance before tragically tsking his own life. He was the nicest most down to earth cat you could meet.
60s,70s,80s, we had the best music.
Boston always has been and always will be one of my favorites. The epitome of rock ‘n’ roll and Arena rock!
Not only do i love this music, always have always will but, I also love watching you react to it simply because it seems to put You in a good mood and a good place. Which is exactly what this music should do to a person.
I love it when someone discovers the greatness of songs that I discovered 45 years ago.
This entire album is perfection.
Oh yeah, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands ever! Boston is a pillar of classic rock, & this album is one of best ever. I wore this cassette out cruisin the strip on the weekends back in the 80s!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤘
Just like Kansas "Boston" is GOLD. You're going to like everything they do. And again...yes, 1970's again. And the genre' is called "soft rock'. They older you get the more you're going to DUMP the current garbage for the perfection of the 70's music.
You opened up Pandora’s box with this band. Just about every song they have is amazing.
The best,best song of the 70's & there were so so many to choose from. We were blessed back then .
The entire debut album is FIRE FIRE FIRE. I've listened to it a million times (it feels) start to finish and it's just as wonderful.
This ENTIRE album is excellent. I promise you will love every single song
You can't beat Boston's vocal and guitar harmonies. And, yes, Brad Delp had one of the top most powerful rock voices of all time. So much enjoying your reactions to songs of MY time (well, very young teen at the time).
I graduated in “74” and the music was incredible. I love that young people are discovering it!
Everybody who grew up a rock n roller in the 70’s had the first two Boston albums in their catalog!
Lead guitarist Tom Sholtz was an electrical engineer. He wrote and recorded the first Boston album by himself in his basement studio then brought in Brad Delp to lay down the vocals. He even built his own amp to get that exact guitar sound that he heard in his head.
Youll probably read somewhere that Brad's voice was considered one of the best in all areas of the facet, namely his ranges he could hit. Most excellent reaction!!!
Foreplay/Longtime is an absolute banger!!!
