      Prob the greatest balad of all time. Not many people 'get it', unless one has been there. Powerful. Credit where credit is due... This is a song, sung and played, from the soul. Thanks, and you nailed it man

      I'm actually excellent with words, and I strive for accuracy and avoid exaggerating. But this song is so good I don't want to try to describe the way it hits me. Memories of 1985 [when I discovered it] lying on the floor in the living room with the stereo loud enough to be heard in the next county. Loved your stories and playing 👍

    This song is so intense that it is the only song in my collection that brings me to internal emotional breakdown and I can’t figure out why…I’m not sure if it’s the memories that it draws on or some relationships of my past but I can listen to this over and over again and never get tired of hearing it, this could be my favorite of all time, thank you!

Now in retirement I've gotten back into my guitar, and trying to become that guitarist I'll never be. But I found this song on RUclips, and have gotten completely hooked on it. You brother have inspired me greatly, showing me what I can do with a love for a song, and my guitar. Thank you for such a great video!!

      What's even more amazing is that most of the guitar, bass, and keyboards were performed by Boston founder Tom Scholz himself, although other players were involved sporadically throughout the recordings. He and singer Brad Delp defined what the Boston sound was and still is to that day !

    to Tony Tupelo, since I cannot reply to his comment thanks to some GooTube bullshit programming:
    thanks! I get pretty close sometimes. I think I have a tendancy to
    drag a little bit. Maybe it's because I don't rehearse these but a
    couple times right after I learn them. I used to play in a rock band
    back around 1983/84 and I knew the songs like the back of my hand and
    could play them in my sleep left handed so these play-alongs are done
    mostly after I quickly learn them with hardly 2 run throughs. So there
    are some mistakes but for the time I invested, they are fun.

      thx. yeah, it's a great solo. Boston always had good solos because Tom would obviously craft them and learn them and record them instead of just winging them. They have a more... timeless appeal that way, I think. Unless you are just great at ad libbing greatness. ty

      @@TruthSurge I heard Boston from the very beginnings - I started college in '74. I'm been entranced by the guitar in this song ever since it came out. You did an awesome job with it. Do you have a Rockman to get the Boston sound?

      @@guyrouillier No, I used Guitar Rig 4 or 5. One of those and just rolled my own sound. I do that for all my guitar covers. I rarely use Peavey Revalver but on a few tunes. I also have this free plugin LePoulin that sounds pretty good. I never liked those portable Rockmans. I liked the clean but not the distorted sounds. Something just sounded wrong to me. Maybe the actual amps were better but nah, I just roll my own sounds by turning knobs and listening. I get close enough I guess. thanks!

Sing along and play along my rocking friend, I can’t help feeling but for circumstances in the ether of time past I would have attended many of your concerts and hailed you legend. Thank you.

I love this solo, it's probably my favorite solo to play from the band, and I can play it exactly like on the album, so I really appreciated that you can also! BTW, nice guitar! I used to own that guitar! And I too used to play nothing but KISS back in the day! And regarding Tom's sound, I bought the Rockman when it came out, and I'm so glad you know about Ty Tabor! Dude, you're my new fav RUclips guitarist! Right on, man!

      ty! The only "unusual" thing about the chords is the 2 chord. It is made major, then dom7 b4 going into the 5 chord on the verses. I think everything else is just all in the same key. correct me if I'm wrong.

    When I was a kid I had my guitar teacher figure some of this song out for me. It was about 1982 and my guitar teacher, Carmen Carmonica, would spend a few weeks in Utica NY and then he would fly out to Vegas and play for Tony Orlando. Boston was a bit different flirty him but he was good and when he had the time he had figured out the song. However, he had figured out the piano. To this day I still play the piano portion of the song on guitar. I've never known any other musicians that wanted to do this song. You, Mr Surge, have unlocked the mystery. I'm hoping to do an acoustic version of this song with my band by next year. Man I'll never be will always be one of my favorite Boston songs. I'll be watching this video over and over.

    Very cool brother. I was in a couple of bands back in the late 70's and early eighties. We had rehearsal space at the Cambridge Music Complex. Several Boston based bands did too. The Cars and across from ours was Boston's. I got to meet the members of the Cars and sit in with them while rehearsing songs for Panorama. I was told that Boston hadn't been at their rehearsal space. It was at the time they where in a battle with the record company and had to reform under different names. I saw Boston at the Boston Gardens in 1979. Sammy Hagar was the opener.

    • @TruthSurge
      @TruthSurge  8 лет назад +1

      I've never been to Boston. I'm sure it's a cool place. Was Sammy HAgar solo then? I know he was with Ronnie Montrose at some point. Maybe by 79 he was solo. I guess he had to be. By what, 1985 he was with VH?

    • @Hiker63
      @Hiker63 8 лет назад +1

      TruthSurge Sammy was solo. He wore his signature red leather. You're probably right it was around 85.

    • @TruthSurge
      @TruthSurge  8 лет назад +1

      TruthSurge It was billed as Boston with special guest Sammy Hagar. I wish it was Montrose though. I just found it. It was November 6, 1978. The set list did include Bad Motor Scooter.
