There's a video on RUclips What Makes This Song So Great ( More Than A Feeling ) you should check out. It breaks down how the song was recorded and that's all I'm saying. In all the interviews I've watched Tom always stated that he was an engineer first but if you watch the the live concert on RUclips ( 70's) his face tells a different story. Happy New Year!
Brad Delp and Geoff Tate "Take hold of the flame" Never got to see Brad but I've seen Geoff many times and he was the real deal live and always reminded me of Brad Delp.
Not bad from a graduated genius from MIT that recorded every instrument in his basement on equipment he made and put together. The only thing he didn't do was sing and play drum. Actually when the record label signed them and album exploded they had to rush to find band members to go on tour. My best friend in 6th grade Tori Boston introduced me to this awesomeness at her sleepover birthday party. Y'all need to do (if not already) Foreplay/Longtime off this album. Sorry so long 🤷💗
Nope. This was true for the demo tapes; for the album Sib Hashian played drums on all songs except "Rock & Roll Band" (played by Jim Masdea), Barry Goudreau played rhythm guitar on all songs and lead guitar on "Long Time" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight", Fran Sheehan played bass on "Foreplay" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight", and Brad Delp played acoustic guitar on "Let Me Take You Home Tonight". This is all from the liner notes on the 2006 remaster which Scholz oversaw.
I moved to Boston a few months ago from Texas in my car with my son and played "Don't Look Back" as we drove in on the 4th day. Been a long time Boston fan
@@jonque007 The whole album is what they need to react to. Also there’s a concert on RUclips that’s a must watch. They are having the time of their lives ( or at least it seems that way) .
As a 55 yr old woman, I LOVE seeing the younger generation enjoying the music as much as we did! Music is timeless & it unites everyone. Really enjoyed your reaction. God Bless!
It was the most biggest selling debut album of all time till appetite for destruction look it up which is a way better album even though I love Boston but it's got more balls
I have that album cover tattooed on me. Actually, me, my sister, and brother all have it tattooed. Boston was my father's favorite band. He died by suicide in 2007. This took me back to my childhood. Thank you. Great reaction to an amazing song.
I don't know if you all have been reading all of the other comments,but a few of them have told the story of the recording of this song and the whole album.I cannot understate how amazing I think that is.Every time I hear any of the songs from this album it amazes me even more.The whole album is fantastic.It is one of (if not the) best selling debut albums of all time.And,again,it began with an MIT graduate building all of the recording system and amps and all of the things that are required to record an album in his basement!!! Then he writes all of the songs and plays all of the instruments,except drums,himself.And I don't know where he found the singer (Brad Delp,rip), but he has one of the best voices in the business.The time it must have taken to record each instrument separately and put them all together ( for every song on the album) and produce it all into the amazing songs on that album.It boggles the mind.
Tom Scholz's story reminds me of the character Bruno in the 1980 version of "Fame" when his father blocked traffic in front of the school to play his son's composition "Fame." Multi-talented who did the composing and tracks by himself. So did Prince early on, come to think of it ruclips.net/video/dF4P4Gcwcps/видео.html
Maybe Space Invaders got the idea from the Boston album. The album came out in 1976 and space invaders 1978. If you look on the bottom of the spaceship you will notice it is a flying Guitar. Ohh and they are from Boston and surrounding area. I am from Boston and they were huge back then. Also Aerosmith and The Cars and J Geils. Just subscribed.
Also, if you notice the top of the flying guitar spaceships, there's a city skyline (presumably Boston, though as a long-time Boston resident. Myself, the skyline doesn't actually look like Boston... artistic license)
@@bostonvair I was 8 when the album came out and my older sister bought it. I always thought it was all the cities escaping earth before it blew. Now that I think about it that is what the concept must be lol. She would say do you see the guitar and I could never see it. I thought it was the blue fire shaped like a funky electric guitar until she pointed it out.
@@alienresearchlab No doubt. I finally got to see them at harbor lights in boston before J. Geils death in 2017. I was so drunk I remember nothing. What a moron move. I never get that drunk but the booze snuck up on me hard.
@@MuckoMan It happens. I went to see Van Halen (Van Hagar) and we were all doing tequila shots beforehand. We were in the 6th row. All I remember is they opened with 'Poundcake', Eddie Van Halen (RIP) was right in front of us...and the rest is a total blur. Supposedly I was cozying up to a girl on my left during the show who was not my gf who was on my right side. Awkward car ride home and hangover of death the next day.
We 12-year-old kids in Boston -- we lived in the Roslindale section of Boston -- all *had* to buy the album. My current record-player is about 15 feet from where I'm sitting.
More than a feeling!, that song will never get old!, its part of history and it should be legendary. High energy vocals and amazing rock for it’s time. I was probably 13 years old when this song came out and It still rocks this world.
There are some things that are the top of the chart of beautiful. 1 - your wife on your wedding day 2 - a newborn baby asleep in your arms, 3 - a beautiful woman headbanging to great rock music! Loved your reaction to this song - a staplepoint of any good rock music library. You just haven't discovered yet enough just how dam good this band was - and this album specifically. Every single song on that album was a hit and had radioplay EVERY song. Its among the top selling albums of all time list - and this was their DEBUT album. Never before heard or known, from jumpstreet these guys were stars with these songs. You can't find a bad song on this first two albums for sure. But most love: Peace of Mind, and Foreplay/Longtime as their favorites. Rock and Roll Band and Smoking are both fantastic with a little more pep in them. Yes they're from Boston.
Saw Boston in 1997 in Vegas. Brad Delp was so humble. He actually told the audience the he couldn't hit the high notes anymore. And that there would be a younger band member singing those parts. RIP Brad Delp and Sib Hashian.
I watch a lot of different reaction channels and I don't think that there's another song that immediately makes the hosts smile and be into the song as "More Than a Feeling" does.
Boston is 🔥🔥🔥especially their debut album from start to finish. Highly recommend headphones/earbuds & CRANK IT UP 🤘The vocals, the instruments...will give you more than a feeling 😊Hope y'all had a blessed & Merry Christmas 💚☃️🌟🎄❤️
The best driving song ever!!! You stuck in traffic or had a bad day...crank this baby, and your steering wheel gonna cop a beating!!! Always makes me happy
My daughter is now 34 but in her high school years I walked by her room to hear this song playing loudly and knocked and walked in and she was like MOM I’ve heard u listening to this but never really paid attention but OMG just WOW!! This is my era and as a huge music lover both my children are very well versed in all genres of music but it’s moments like those that make me proud
The whole album is the band's original demo with a few overdubs. The label thought it was so good they didn't want to change it. All instruments except drums by Tom Scholz. Vocals by Brad Delp. Allegedly recorded in Scholz's basement whilst he was working at MIT
@@fudhater8592 Ok, Tom was a Senior Design Engineer working at Polaroid in Cambridge, MA with a Engineering Degree from M.I.T. You had me go back and check my work! This is all correct. I don't know what part of that you think is not accurate. It was while working at Polaroid that Tom lived in an apartment house which is where he built his recording studio in the basement.
@@boosuedon The parts that are not accurate: - Released album was the demo with some overdubs The demo and album were completely different recordings - All instruments except drums by Tom Scholz Barry Goudreau played rhythm guitar on all tracks and lead guitar on Foreplay/Long Time & Let Me Take You Home Tonight. Fran Sheehan played bass on Foreplay & Let Me Take You Home Tonight. Brad Delp played acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home Tonight.
i'm in love with this song since 20 years. it gives me such good, positive feelings EVERY fucking time i listen to it! no matter if i know nothing about that band, i will be thankfull 4ever for these feelings and music is able to do that!
You know I just realized this song is a good theme song for reation videos. The song is talking about how a good song can make you whole day better. "It's more than a feeling. When I hear that old song play"
Boston's sound was ahead of it's time. Tom Scholz, the founder of the band, is an MIT graduate and developed Boston's first album in his basement! He is one of the lead guitarist and created most of the instrumentals on the 1976 debut album...he had pretty much completed the album and then the bandmates were chosen afterwards!! Lead vocals was the late, great Brad Delp.
I remember when I first heard this timeless classic. I was around 5 or so and my dad had the cassette playing in his shop. My brothers and I were running around with our friends and I heard that roaring guitar and the echo of Brad Delps voice. I was instantly hooked. Loved this band ever since. And I heard this song in Madagascar when the Penguins steal the tourist car. And yes, they are from Boston.
I was 8 when this album came out. The only music I had ever heard was country and gospel. I was walking by my older sisters bedroom, and she had this song playing on her record player. I was mesmerized. I stopped to listen, and she slammed the door and locked it. Lol so here I am, on the ground, my ear up against the bottom of the door frame, in absolute music heaven. It changed my life, and til the day I leave earth, it always will be my favorite.
This is the album that turned me from a bubble top 40 fan to a rock & roll fan and I never looked back.. I was 15 when this hit the airways. I'd turn out the lights put on my head phones and be in another world...
Boston - Foreplay / Long Time is a feel good classic. You’ll love it. Boston has a ton of great songs and quite a number of radio played songs from back in the day.
I got a big smile on my face watching you young folks listen to the music of my youth. We were certainly blessed. I suggest you react to more Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, early Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan and Stevie Ray Vaughn. So much blues and soul and those artists. By the way, your hair looks great girlfriend!
I live in Watertown, MA right next to the house where Tom Schulz wrote and recorded this album in his basement!! And good lord.. Brad Delp on those high notes is just mind blowing..
This was recorded about 20 miles from me in Watertown, Mass. In a tiny basement. You've prob had many other comments on this. Check out THIN LIZZY!! The JAILBREAK album to start.
Love Boston and miss mass. hate floriduh where in mass from the south shore Stoughton. The night my First Grandkid was born this was on the radio and I had it cranked and my foot on the floor. Miss Home loved the music concerts all over N.E.
They are from Boston. Tom Scholz graduated from MIT, a real genius. Created the Boston "sound" that is so instantly recognizable. Want to hear one that reaches down deep in your emotions? Boston, 'A man I'll never be" Brace yourself.
Went to school with Tom, not only one of the best rock guitar players but he invented alot of the sound effect pedals that musicians use today, he was a perfectionist when it came to sound. PS when we were all busy at parties in high school Tom made whole albumsin his basement, playing all the instruments himself...
I absolutely love your reactions!! I have asbestos poisoning in my lungs so I don't have a lot of enjoyment in life anymore, so it's nice to know that every time I go on youtube that I can watch your reactions and know that I will get to smile, even if it's only for a few minutes....thank you Half and Jai for enriching my life!! Btw, Jai, I think you are very beautiful person, inside and out!!
Boston's debut album which includes this song is to me, the best album of the 70's. This is the only album I have heard every single song on the radio. You need to do Piece Of Mind, Foreplay/Longtime, Rock n Roll Band, Something About You, Smoking & every other song on this album lol. Another Journey down the rabbit hole
My favorite 70s band. When I was in college, the dorm was full of disco. My room was full of BOSTON. Great concerts. I saw the just before Brad died in early 2000s. Best flipping concert... and I been to them all. When you pay $100+ for a seat and stand, singing along for 3 hours, it’s a great concert! More please. Their first album is perfection. ❤️ BTW.... Atari, Space Invaders! Yes they are from Boston.
Thanks for reacting to ONE of the BEST bands FORMED IN THE 1970s .. More than a Feeling Came out in 1976 , Every song on this LP Was a huge hit ,, Us 70s Brats were very very spoiled with great music ALL THE TIME,, .. 4 0f the top 10 biggest selling LPS IN the U,S are from the 1970s
Guys! I watch a lot of your reactions. I was completely and happily shocked when I saw you were doing "Boston"! This song was released in '76, and I was in my last year of high school (18 yrs old). I had a Camaro, and I flat wore this song out! I played it on an 8-track player (Yep! I said 8-track!), and installed 6 speakers in the car, JUST FOR THIS SONG! It was the hottest, loudest song there was then! Girls rode with me every day, at lunch, so we could "jam" to this song! HUGE memories!
Tom Sholtz the guitarist in this song is a MIT graduate, he recorded this whole album in his basement in 1974, he revolutionized guitar effects and digital recording, he is a freaking genius
Stryper front man Michael Sweet actually toured with Boston for awhile as their lead singer a few years back. You should hear Stryper covering Kansas' hit "Carry On My Wayward Son," on their Album "The Covering."
All of this music besides the vocals was done by one guy, Tom Scholz, in a basement apartment in Boston, MA!! Every instrument played, recorded, engineered, and mixed! Amazing! I love your show too, great chemistry, never stop laughing! Thank you!
BIG FAN of you two! Love how you both give a NON-BIAS look at all music ( so rare on utube) actually shown your cast to. My BF who I work out with ( who is black) but never watched. Now is a subscriber also! Great job guys
Do you have a "Merch link"? My wife and I who are WHITE, My Bf and his wife are BLACK, Want to disprove hate bc of color! Believe It or Not Your cast is starting a movement here in Michigan! Good for you guys and we want to support you all the way! God loves us all!
Dave Ghrol of Foo Fighters once said that this song sounds like what it feels like when a dog sticks it’s head out the window of a moving car. You guys are great together and Bro you’re a lucky man with a woman who’s smile lights up the room and infectious laugh.
This is to dam funny 😂ruclips.net/video/EJCyp7tO4GU/видео.html
I must have heard something else, but did you call this song Morgan Philly?
Just subscribed pimpin! Great job/channel.
I would have to get kicked in the balls too hit those high notes.
You guys crack me up. One of my two or three favorite reaction video peeps all day long. And Half, they indeed are from Boston. Give It up guys.
The game is metroid
Brad Delp was criminally underrated as a singer. I grew up in the 70’s and this song was on my radio at the beach all summer long. RIP Brad -
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY could hit that high note like Brad Delp. I was 19 when this album came out. It is as awesome today as it was 44 years ago.
Nobody could hit that note, not even him in a live show!
I was 21, Tim, saw them in concert in Hartford, CT in 1976 along with Rick Derringer.
No doubt, HE JUST KILLS IT!! I was 5 but discovered it as a teen and OMG! ❤

Brad Delp and Geoff Tate "Take hold of the flame" Never got to see Brad but I've seen Geoff many times and he was the real deal live and always reminded me of Brad Delp.
Legend has it that Brad Delp is still holding that note to this day
Best Boston comment ever!
This song is ear candy.....and when Brad Delp hits those powerful high notes which bleed into the blazing guitar riffs, you're hooked!
Yesss! Love this song! It's a real feel good song.
RIP BRAD DELP! man...that man could sing. 💯💯💯💯
Although Tommy DeCarlo is also Really good. Probably not quite as good as Brad,though.
One of the best 70-80s rock band of all time
Brad Delp had such a beautiful powerful voice and sounded just as great live.
Not bad from a graduated genius from MIT that recorded every instrument in his basement on equipment he made and put together. The only thing he didn't do was sing and play drum. Actually when the record label signed them and album exploded they had to rush to find band members to go on tour.

Album was written before the band was formed.
Great synopsis. Thx.
Not meany people know that
Nope. This was true for the demo tapes; for the album Sib Hashian played drums on all songs except "Rock & Roll Band" (played by Jim Masdea), Barry Goudreau played rhythm guitar on all songs and lead guitar on "Long Time" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight", Fran Sheehan played bass on "Foreplay" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight", and Brad Delp played acoustic guitar on "Let Me Take You Home Tonight". This is all from the liner notes on the 2006 remaster which Scholz oversaw.
No
I love that you both are open to listening to all kinds of music. We all need more open minds.
Absolutely! Much appreciation to Half and Jai
I agree some people do reaction videos and they can’t even keep a beat Half and Jai really get into the song. Very cool
More Than a Feeling is one of their best.
Yes, it’s just ... more than a feeling. Know what I mean? 😳
I moved to Boston a few months ago from Texas in my car with my son and played "Don't Look Back" as we drove in on the 4th day. Been a long time Boston fan
Check out "Smokin'", "Rock & Roll Band", "Foreplay&Longtime" by Boston.
Yes, Yes and YES to all 3 of these songs!
Smokin' is exactly 4 mins and 20 secs long on the album cut. Coincidence?!
@@jonque007 The whole album is what they need to react to. Also there’s a concert on RUclips that’s a must watch. They are having the time of their lives ( or at least it seems that way) .
That's what I am talking about
Saw them in concert..ended up in front of the speakers..couldn’t hear right for a week.. it was awesome 😎
God I miss LIVE music 😫
Me too.....1977 in Toronto but stayed clear of the speakers....lol
@Gary no but I’ve seen AC/DC ZZtopp yes the cars and some others lol
@Gary I lived close to Notre Dame and they had concerts there
@Gary I’m older than you😂😂
47 years later and it NEVER GETS OLD
Definitely, never never…!
So good to see the classics still burning brightly. Just like you two. Classic.
Hands-down one of the greatest sounding albums of all time - stellar production with a song list to match - every song is (or should've been) a hit!!
As a 55 yr old woman, I LOVE seeing the younger generation enjoying the music as much as we did! Music is timeless & it unites everyone. Really enjoyed your reaction. God Bless!
The most successful debut album in history. Every song on this album is classic!
It was the most biggest selling debut album of all time till appetite for destruction look it up which is a way better album even though I love Boston but it's got more balls

Not to mention the fact that Tom did it in a homemade studio in his basement and designed the sound effects pedals for the guitars.
Lord, I love Jai’s laugh - she really expressed joy when she laughs. 👏👏👏❤️🤩

Boston is probably one of my favorite classic rock bands ever. Please please please do Foreplay/Longtime or Peace Of Mind next, they’re my favorites.
This was one of the more popular cruisin albums of the day. Very iconic for the late 70's.
ACTUALLY This was from the MID 70s ,1976
I was a trucker when this was out. I used to head east on I-80 through the Mts across PA at 3am. This and AC/DC, cruising to rock, stayin wide awake.😎
Absolutely one of the best voices in rock history. RIP Brad Delp
The album is timeless

He is one of the lead guitarist and created most of the instrumentals on the 1976 debut album...he had pretty much completed the album and then the bandmates were chosen afterwards!! Lead vocals was the late, great Brad Delp.
Foreplay/longtime and Peace Of Mind!!! This whole albums amazing!
I remember when I first heard this timeless classic. I was around 5 or so and my dad had the cassette playing in his shop. My brothers and I were running around with our friends and I heard that roaring guitar and the echo of Brad Delps voice. I was instantly hooked. Loved this band ever since. And I heard this song in Madagascar when the Penguins steal the tourist car. And yes, they are from Boston.
They were from Boston, 2 GUYS in their basement, they had to make a band to tour.
About 20 miles from me. Watertown, Ma. There's a great vid on RUclips where Tom goes back to the house. Check!!

I was 8 when this album came out. The only music I had ever heard was country and gospel. I was walking by my older sisters bedroom, and she had this song playing on her record player. I was mesmerized. I stopped to listen, and she slammed the door and locked it. Lol so here I am, on the ground, my ear up against the bottom of the door frame, in absolute music heaven. It changed my life, and til the day I leave earth, it always will be my favorite.
I love you guys you always put a smile on my face!
This is the album that turned me from a bubble top 40 fan to a rock & roll fan and I never looked back.. I was 15 when this hit the airways. I'd turn out the lights put on my head phones and be in another world...
Love you 2 reacting to this. The talent and groove are undeniable
Boston - Foreplay / Long Time is a feel good classic. You’ll love it. Boston has a ton of great songs and quite a number of radio played songs from back in the day.
Space Invaders is the Atari game Half speaks of which came out in 1978....This song came out two years prior in 76
I got a big smile on my face watching you young folks listen to the music of my youth. We were certainly blessed. I suggest you react to more Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, early Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan and Stevie Ray Vaughn. So much blues and soul and those artists.
By the way, your hair looks great girlfriend!
All great choices!!!
I live in Watertown, MA right next to the house where Tom Schulz wrote and recorded this album in his basement!! And good lord.. Brad Delp on those high notes is just mind blowing..
In my opinion, no band has ever been able to make multiple guitars harmonize together as well as Boston. Awesome group
This was recorded about 20 miles from me in Watertown, Mass. In a tiny basement. You've prob had many other comments on this. Check out THIN LIZZY!! The JAILBREAK album to start.
Underrated band....love them
Love Boston and miss mass. hate floriduh where in mass from the south shore Stoughton. The night my First Grandkid was born this was on the radio and I had it cranked and my foot on the floor. Miss Home loved the music concerts all over N.E.
One of my favorite bands. You can't go wrong with Boston. Id like to send a song to that beautiful lady ... Something about you - Boston.
Yes!!!!! Jai would love it 💕
Merry Christmas 🎄 guy's. Boston is a awesome group. R.I.P Brad. Do Amanda or Forplay longtime. You'll love it
They are from Boston. Tom Scholz graduated from MIT, a real genius. Created the Boston "sound" that is so instantly recognizable. Want to hear one that reaches down deep in your emotions? Boston, 'A man I'll never be" Brace yourself.
We use to blast this album in the gym while practicing our gymnastics 🤸🏼♀️ it was awesome!!
Went to school with Tom, not only one of the best rock guitar players but he invented alot of the sound effect pedals that musicians use today, he was a perfectionist when it came to sound. PS when we were all busy at parties in high school Tom made whole albumsin his basement, playing all the instruments himself...
This was our jam back in the day. Mr and my hubby if 49 yrs love 70s rock. Turn up.
I absolutely love your reactions!! I have asbestos poisoning in my lungs so I don't have a lot of enjoyment in life anymore, so it's nice to know that every time I go on youtube that I can watch your reactions and know that I will get to smile, even if it's only for a few minutes....thank you Half and Jai for enriching my life!! Btw, Jai, I think you are very beautiful person, inside and out!!
Love Boston! Man...I jam with them! All the time. 😊😊👍👍💯💯💯💯
Did the 1970s ROCK OR WHAT ..
Boston's debut album which includes this song is to me, the best album of the 70's. This is the only album I have heard every single song on the radio. You need to do Piece Of Mind, Foreplay/Longtime, Rock n Roll Band, Something About You, Smoking & every other song on this album lol. Another Journey down the rabbit hole
Did you notice that the " space ships " are upside down guitars.
With city skylines in the top bubble.
@@Pixelologist yup.
And the planet Earth exploding in the background.
@@Pixelologist the Boston skyline
I had this on cassette and never noticed the guitars upside down .
"Don't Look Back" is one of my favorite songs. Boston was so good they named a city after them!
Boston & Rick Derringer were my first concert-1976. Great song!
How was Derringer? The Derringer Live album (8 track) was in the player for a couple of years straight. clickclick :)
@@432b86ed Rick Derringer was fantastic. I remember he was taping for live album that night.
My favorite 70s band. When I was in college, the dorm was full of disco. My room was full of BOSTON. Great concerts. I saw the just before Brad died in early 2000s. Best flipping concert... and I been to them all. When you pay $100+ for a seat and stand, singing along for 3 hours, it’s a great concert! More please. Their first album is perfection. ❤️
BTW.... Atari, Space Invaders! Yes they are from Boston.
That was popular when I was in high school! Yeah, I'm old. haha! Fond memories! I just discovered you guys yesterday! Y'all are too cute together! :D
Yeah. I was a sophomore when this came out.
Now that you're down the rabbit hole and have done Boston, you have to check out "Boston - Peace of Mind" Such an Epic song
Let's Go....welcome back to the channel Baby....Damn!Jai blastin'...🤣
My 1st concert in 1978 at Washington State University! They blew us away! It was unbelievable and Brad's voice was so freaking awesome!
Look closer...those spaceships are guitars.
And you get a double like for being a Chiefs fans!😊
Thanks for reacting to ONE of the BEST bands FORMED IN THE 1970s .. More than a Feeling Came out in 1976 , Every song on this LP Was a huge hit ,, Us 70s Brats were very very spoiled with great music ALL THE TIME,, .. 4 0f the top 10 biggest selling LPS IN the U,S are from the 1970s
Representing Massachusetts properly! Great band.
Much love from the East Coast! ✌🏼Hope you're enjoying the holidays!
Guys! I watch a lot of your reactions. I was completely and happily shocked when I saw you were doing "Boston"! This song was released in '76, and I was in my last year of high school (18 yrs old). I had a Camaro, and I flat wore this song out! I played it on an 8-track player (Yep! I said 8-track!), and installed 6 speakers in the car, JUST FOR THIS SONG! It was the hottest, loudest song there was then! Girls rode with me every day, at lunch, so we could "jam" to this song! HUGE memories!
Tom Sholtz the guitarist in this song is a MIT graduate, he recorded this whole album in his basement in 1974, he revolutionized guitar effects and digital recording, he is a freaking genius
Very Well Said…!
Stryper front man Michael Sweet actually toured with Boston for awhile as their lead singer a few years back. You should hear Stryper covering Kansas' hit "Carry On My Wayward Son," on their Album "The Covering."
Basically this entire album is complete 🔥🔥🔥. EVERY SONG ON THE LP IS EPIC!!
That was fun watching you guys jammin' to that classic song! She seemed to be really digging that one! Good job!
This song was featured in the movie "Zookeeper" with Kevin James and Rosario Dawson. The animals sing it at the end.
I forgot about this...it was in that movie!!!
Boston, the best rock band live performance I’ve ever seen.
Jai, you keep bangin' like, that those braids are knock Half tf out
bwahahahahahaha, I liked those head bangin' braids too, to the beat of the music. Barry Goudreau was real good on guitar, huh?
@@wurlitzer1955 Yes that solo and song is a rock standard.
All of this music besides the vocals was done by one guy, Tom Scholz, in a basement apartment in Boston, MA!! Every instrument played, recorded, engineered, and mixed! Amazing! I love your show too, great chemistry, never stop laughing! Thank you!
BIG FAN of you two! Love how you both give a NON-BIAS look at all music ( so rare on utube) actually shown your cast to. My BF who I work out with ( who is black) but never watched. Now is a subscriber also! Great job guys
Do you have a "Merch link"? My wife and I who are WHITE, My Bf and his wife are BLACK, Want to disprove hate bc of color! Believe It or Not Your cast is starting a movement here in Michigan! Good for you guys and we want to support you all the way! God loves us all!
Dave Ghrol of Foo Fighters once said that this song sounds like what it feels like when a dog sticks it’s head out the window of a moving car.
You guys are great together and Bro you’re a lucky man with a woman who’s smile lights up the room and infectious laugh.
That was a double barrel BOOM!
Yes, music like that can open the world to a whole new way to see & hear things. They were an amazing group.
I love it when y’all love a song as much as I do.
