Musically so sophisticated, there are no misses on this album. Surely one of the greatest debut albums ever. Thanks guys
Can't agree more.
The greatest debut album of all time.
The only other debut album like this is The first Van Halen song.
Fun fact, Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s father in law is the drummer. RIP Sib
@@salvatorediangelo453 original?
For me, this remains the most phenomenal album of all time.
Hitchin a Ride by Boston ends all reactions. Mic drop. We're out of here. Goodnight.
Hidden gem, diamond in the rough, lost classic and the greatest b-side song of all time.
Most underrated song of all time.
PERIOD!!
I may have to agree with you here. It's poetic musical and vocal perfection
My favorite guitar solo...hence my RUclips name.
@@howie5th that's cool. Seriously that solo is so mood setting and nostalgic and fluid. Brad's vocals.....the entire arrangement. Just perfection in a song. ❤️
this song makes me f**kin cry, it is one of the best things about life
Can I just correct you my friend it is not Hitchin a ride that song was recorded by vanity fair 1969 -70 this is hitch a ride Boston 1976 and what a great song it is
My favorite guitar solo coming up
Yes!
Same here
"Oh. This can't just sound upbeat and rock your face off at the same time" LOL! Stealing that! So true.
Don't know why but every time I hear this song, beginning when I first heard it when I was 15, I always tear up because it's just pure musical joy for me! It's sheer audio Bliss and Beauty for me.
Me too
You miss being young. That is why you tear up.
@@ezeee595 100% correct God Bless You
@@ezeee595 Not so, my mother told me that I've been crying to music, happy and joyful tears to ANY music I would hear since I was an infant, particularly music with singing! What can I say? It has alway been deeply ingrained in my ❤️.
@@maryreilly5092 Maybe that is not the case with you. I tear up when I hear certain songs, because they remind me of my younger days.
This… is another in my “perfect album” category. Every song had radio time, and can still be heard to this day. R.I.P. Brad Delp
That album was 7 years in the making....Tom Scholz did in fact record & mix the whole thing in his spare time, he played all the keys, bass, and most of the guitars, had another friend play drums, and of course Brad Delp...who by the way did ALL the vocals, every lead, every harmony. 46 years later it's still in the top 3 debut albums of all time. A masterpiece
@daniellloret3769 There is so much Boston/Scholz urban legend BS out there. All of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C. The high end mic pres, eq's, compressors and plate reverbs that Boylan used on Brads voice are part of the reason why Brads voice sounds so good on this record. The entire song Let Me Take You Home was recorded in its entirety by the band as pictured on the back of the record. Toms does not play bass on every song. Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Toms long time friend Jim Masdea played drums on the demo tape that was submitted to Epic and producer John Boylan. However, Sib plays the drums on every song except one on the record.
The record was mixed at Westlake studios on thier then new and top of the line API conosole and their 3M 24 track tape machines. The mixing was done by producer John Boylan, engineer Warren Dewey and Tom. According to Boylan it was quite the circus and tug of war mixing with Tom because he kept pushing the electrc guitars and cymbal so hard that Boylan and Dewey had to try to keep up and in the process the console was pushed into "manual compression"
@@neechee5150 the only thing done outside of the studio was professionally mixing it. Tom Scholz played at least 90% of the guitars, bass and keys himself.
@@joshgrant-ti4xk said, "the only thing done outside of the studio was professionally mixing [the Boston debut record] it"
If you are trying to say that the only thing that was done to the Boston debut record outside of Toms studio was that it was mixed at Westlake studios, you are WRONG. The entire song Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was in fact recorded at The Record Plant LA by the band as pictured on the back of the record, This is a documented, legal and corroborated fact that Tom has NEVER denied. It is also fact that ALL of Brads vocals sans the vocals on Let Met Take You Home were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C. Then if you want to get technical this record was mastered by Wally Traugott at Capital Studios
Your 90% statistic is suspect at best. Why? Barry plays electric rhythm guitar on three songs: Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. Tom was forced to admit this as fact under oath in legal documents in the lawsuits between Tom and Barry. Barry also plays all of the lead guitar solos on Long Time as well as the huge power chords in Long Time. In addition, Barry also plays lead and slide guitars on Let Me Take You Home.
Given that there are only 8 songs on the record and given that Barry plays all of the guitars on Let Me Take You Home and given how much Barry plays on Foreplay and Long Time it is mathematically impossible for your 90% claim to be true. Your 90% claim is 100% fiction.
@@neechee5150 we're just gonna agree to disagree
@@joshgrant-ti4xk I stated documented facts that Tom and producer John Boylan have STATED AS FACT AND TRUTH or that Tom was FORCED TO ADMIT AS TRUTH UNDER OATH in legal proceedings between he and Barry. I have stated FACTS as documented in the liner notes of EVERY copy of the debut record that has ever been sold. I stated facts that Tom listed in the liner notes of the POST LITIGATION 2006 Scholz (not Sony) remaster of the debut Boston record, and this was Toms pet project from the get go and other than Epic/Sony not letting Tom have the original master, Tom had COMPLETE CONTROL over this remaster. I can document as FACT every one of my claims. I issue you a challenge to document your claims and to refute what i have said.
Opinions that are not supported by facts and corroborated evidenced and testimony are FICTION. Tom has purposely obfuscated and left out many key details of who did what on this record and Tom in his usual titanic ego self aggrandizing fashion has been less than honest and transparent and he as minimized the contributions of others to this record.
This is not a matter of agreeing to disagree this is a matter about what is truth and fact. I can defend everyone of my claims. Can you?
Boston‘s first two albums were absolutely amazing
RIP Brad and Sib. May you both rest in peace
Nobody, I mean nobody, gives this song the credit it deserves. Fantastic tune.
It’s amazing that I can’t name a single song by most all of the top artists of today, but I still know every single word from this one classic. Absolute perfection never dies.
I love the dual guitar solo at the end! Timeless classic rock at it's best!! Boston has a place in the Rock Hall of Fame!!!
Yeah!! You can ALWAYS count on getting a great ride when you "Hitch a Ride" with Boston
This is my favorite song of all time and to see your reaction to hearing the solo for the first time had me grinning like an idiot.
Just so y'awll young whippersnappers know:
there is a SINGLE vocalist singing EVERY vocal note on this album.
One.
the magical, majestic: BRAD DELP.
[😭😭😭😭 R.I.P.]
...He doubles his own vocals, triples them (at times), sings all the harmonies,there are even spots on this album where he harmozinzes with guitar notes that Tom Scholz or Barry Goudreau are playing.
100% Brad Delp.
BOSTON's Third Stage (their comeback, about a decade after this debut) came CLOSE to the success of this album and is their last excellent album.
The sophomore release [Don't Look Back -even, given that: a lot of people seem to love it (or claim to, anyway) and rate it quite highly, the issue with that is THIS:
It's inaccurate and untrue. As a listener: you, quickly recognize the fact that it is an attempt at retreading THIS album... but, with weaker, more "cobbled together" songs. Not as well-constructed and too "just there" and/or similar (to everything you already have, by them!).
...they were, still, exploiting the demos they recorded in the early '70s (for e.g. : 'Don't Be Afraid" was originally a song called "Love" ...from circa 1973-1974). Nothing wrong, inherently, with that, but: Don't Look Back, while "a fine recording" and more than "just listenable" ...IS a retread and is (in comparison) markedly weaker and less interesting than their debut.
...Having 8 years (due to: lawsuits, psychological and social bullshit (in Tom's head) and, also: tapes which aged-out and began sticking together (so: "technical difficulties"-to say the least!) to, uhmmm... "polish a project," does give you some more opportunity to: write new stuff, arrange stuff "on the books" better and/or: just cull or alter things you would have put out, if you had, just, done that years earlier (around the time first created it ....or so....).
>>>Anyhow: I.M.O.: the overall quality of: Third Stage is their second best (behind the debut)( [and the tour was good, too].
...Nut Scholz had kicked people out of the band (although: he had TOLD them he was 'taking a break' from Boston and could "...do solo projects, or whatever," while he was doing that...but, then, decided to get pissed-off at them when they DID do that the interim ('cause, obviously: control freak is, unnecessarily, a fucking douchebag.,-If you're not writing guitar or organ parts, I don't wanna hear sh*!t from you, Scholz!).
...anyhow....:
Yes: Check-Out Third Stage
["Cool The Engines";
"We're Ready'
(or, maybe: the 'album-flow-segue': "We're Ready"/"The Launch"/"Cool The Engines"]
"Can't'cha Say (You Believe In Me)"
and
"Hollyann" are must-listens from 3rd Stage]
(Tracks you would want to cove, from: "Don't Look back, IF you are going to bother with that album (It isn't a necessity):
"Don't Be Afraid"; "Used To Bad News":
"Feelin' Satisfied"
...🤷🤷 ...maybe "Party"(??)...)
Love the melodic solo... still one of my favorites.
Guitar SCREAM at 10:07.
That excellent production you speak of was Scholz in his basement! Extraordinary and sheer genius!
8:55 "Awwwww. come on, man!" Yes, gentlemen, that is the smoothest, clearest, crispest guitar lick that will ever tickle your ears!
They’re just so freaking good at creating music you just can’t stop listening to, because it just FEELS so good.
Love the guitar solo. Makes it one of my favorite Boston songs.
I saw them March 7, 1977 in Minneapolis, Minnesota with a band called Starcastle. It was an amazing concert. Yes, I am one of your older listeners, and was 16 at this concert. The entire vibe was great. Great reaction!
Well then they need to do Lady of The Lake by Starcastle. Starcastle were a glorious band, and their first two albums were dominant progressive rock.
saw the same show june 77 fresno california did they lazer light show in minn.
@@jeffreygreer it had been so long but Yes I believe they did.
I get chills every time I hear this tune. The outro overlapping/dueling guitars are so powerful yet melodic, and rocking at the same time. Now, listen to all the other songs from the debut album especially Peace of Mind, Smokin' and Rock N Roll Band. The title track from the second album, Don't Look Back, features the classic Boston sound.
Excellence will do that to you you know Tim but why don’t you give Theocracy a listen especially their 22 min masterpiece “ Mirror of Souls “!
You can close your eyes and be in the song in this movie!
Wow... just freakin' WOW! My favorite Boston tune, far and away. Something in the water in Boston. Boston, Aerosmith, The Cars... I'm enjoying your enthusiasm for the classic rock genre. I was 15 when this one dropped, and I'm 15 EVERY time I hear it.
yep me too😁
Love that dirty water...
The organ solo was done by Tom Scholz, the guitarist/ mastermind of Boston. Guy is freakishly talented
And it’s great to see you all groove with that ending guitar solo. That section is so good it’s ridiculous LOL
I remember reading Brad Delp also sings all the backing vocals! " Don't look back"is fantastic!
The back end of this song is incredible. The organ solo and then back and forth between the two guitars is mind blowing.
Brad Delp, one of the best voices in music imo. I hope he is looking down and is just stoked to see how his music has lived on. I appreciate your channel hoping that others hear it that never have. You just can't even imagine what that album is to those of us who lived when it was released. We had never heard anything like it before. All thriller, no filler album and so happy to see it recognized as such. Thank you.
One of the most beautiful guitar solos ever written imho. Sure, people learn how to play guitar and can imitate these sounds, but the real genius is not necessarily in the playing but rather in the creation of the sound and putting the notes together. That's where the great rock 'n roll guitarists separate themselves.
Tom Scholz plays all guitars , bass and keyboards on Hitch a ride. Brad Delp does ALL vocals. Written and produced by Tom Scholz in his basement studio. " Something about you" is amazing as is every song on the album.
YES!!!!
“Something About You” off this album. This is one of the most overlooked songs from this great album but this one rocks!
I've heard this song a million times. And watching you guys just now, I had a smile on my face the entire time. You took me back to a time where my friends and I heard this for the first time. My generation was so lucky. We knew how special our music was.
Great reaction. You can't go wrong with Boston.
This was the first album (vinyl) that I bought with my own money as a kid (around '77) at a K-Mart, along with KISS Alive II. Played the crap out of them then. They still hold up today with great songs!!
When you visit Boston again, will you do "Peace of Mind," please? Thanks, gents! ☺ (Yes, Brad Delp is heaven sent!)
1978 I was a Connecticut girl (15 yo) who ran off to Boston Ma to see “Boston” play in Boston… Best show ever🎶 I was grounded for a year…. NO REGRETS🎵(lol.. still have the concert shirt!) “Hitch a Ride” was my theme song for the whole year I was grounded!!
That guitar solo that sounds like 2 guitars is done with only one. Just another piece of genius behind this album.
You have to hear Don't Look Back, my personal favorite.
Rock produced to perfection with melodies to trap you into positive vibes. It's produced with harmony perfectly. Insane how good this is. You said his voice is like butter. Nailed it.
Boston third album, many good songs but " Man I'll Never Be", and " To Be a Man" maybe my fav of that. "Amanda" is great too.
The story behind the makin of Bonston's first album is one of legend. Created by Tom Scholz and MIT graduate engineer, he built the studio in his rented basement and recorded all the tracks himself. He mastered the art of layering sounds that build to form a complete unique song. It helps that Brad Delp became the lead vocal who is of unmatched range. There is a reason this album is the best selling of all time for a rock band debut.
came out when i was in high school and that's all anybody talked about.this was a massively popular album.
You all used the right adjectives to describe that solo. Thank you. Not many reaction-ers do. Simply amazing. Keep up the good work.
Off if 2nd album..."Don't look back" is a monster.
Also "Amanda" from Third Stage is their only number one hit.
Cool the Engines was always my favorite off Third Stage, Amanda is a close second though.
Classic freaking Boston
And that (your reactions) is why this is my favorite Boston song.
Not only in the title, but instrumentally it sounds like traveling to new (sunlit) places.
I love you guys. Hitting the most unique bands in rock EVER and doing one of my faves that no one knows and I have never seen reacted to. Bravo boys!
I grew up in the 70's... we had the best! music!!... life was good period.
It was music history, never to be repeated.
Ditto!
Just part of the greatest childhood ever.
What a masterpiece, my favorite Boston song!
Amazing group……the album is solid gold.Always a great review by you guys.
Boston is an incredible band! Listening to their music just makes me happy. I saw them in 2016 and they were STILL great!
OK my good young men as a long time middle-aged rocker, I still onto this day hear enjoy and believe that this is one of the original songs with one of the best 1st and 2nd lead guitar solo exchange in classic rock history! (besides B.T.O.) With only very few newer rock bands to respect and uphold that playing like the well seasoned Megadeth and a fresh new Nemophila. I am a rock prophet, I have spoken and it was good! 🤟
I was a senior in high school when that album came out, i was also in a band, they were completely innovative at that time. The first time you really heard the vocals manipulated, they were and still are AMAZING!
Wow your reaction to the organ! 😂Love this song! (Let's be real - any of their songs)!!!! Perfect ending to the day!!! QUALITY OVER QUANTITY!!!
The solo at the end! Just nothing like it!
It's a perfect album.
Hey fellas, you mentioned during last month's livestream (when I won my t-shirt! woo!) that you would react to, "Tightrope", by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) in November. We're at the halfway point, so just a little reminder. You guys will love it! Cheers, and thanks for all you do!
ps~Boston's debut album and ELO's best album, A New World Record (which includes, "Tightrope") came out the same week at the end of the summer of '76. Imagine going to the record shop and buying those two iconic LPs on the same day during their first week on the shelves! lol 'Cuz that's what I, and so many other kids, did. Those two records bumped the 8-month old, Frampton Comes Alive, off the turntable, and split time dominating our stereos until Christmas when we all got the new Eagles record, Hotel California. Man, what a great time that was to be a kid!
ELO love that I passed onto my sons!
It's all Tom on organ, guitars, bass guitar, equalization, mixing layer upon layer. Brad sang 99% of it, over-dub upon over-dup. It is a miracle.
The solo in this song is second to none.
The first album was perfection. Tom Scholz spent 5 years on it. My favorite from the second album is "The Man I'll Never Be", probably because Brad's vocals are so beautiful and heartfelt.
@brianorzel1873 The tracks that were used for this record were recorded from the winter of 1975 to the spring of 1976. Tom wrote and rewrote these songs multiple times over the years prior to his demo being heard by Epic and producder John Boylan.
Taught myself to play drums to this album. This was my favorite song to play. Such a wicked laid back feel.
Loved this reaction guys!!! Brilliant!
Best guitar(s) outro all time............. bar none
This was my high school days in the late 70s.On Lake Shore dr on Lake Pontchartrain The cars packed side by side trunks open music blaring attitudes being adjusted great times Anyone have a time machine i wanna go back
I wanna go back too. This album brings back so many memories.
It appears that you really enjoy Boston. You need to complete the trilogy with Styx and Kansas. Great 70s Rock
Foreigner too!
I came here to say that!!
You might as well toss in REO Speedwagon and Journey into this mix
You make me smile.like when you're listening to the song crack me up
The best selling debut album in history at the time when it was released in 1976.
Another iconic song from the Greatest hits ever from Boston. The vocals and instruments complement each other. Very little Bands Carry that iconic vibe throughout the bands existence. The 1970's and 1980's carry that Great sound and vibe, which a lot of bands lack. One of the Greatest Hits from one of the Greatest Bands in the World. RIP Brad and the rest who have past on from the Greatest Bands of all times. The vocals and songs one never gets tired of hearing. If one watches the videos of Boston, the Bass player seems to be jamming to his own tune. Rock On Boston 🤟🤘🤙👊✊
Masterpiece,talent you don't hear anymore
And never will again.😢
It doesn't matter at all to me where it was recorded it's an absolutely amazing album. This has always been my favorite song on the album. The first time I saw Boston was at a Day of Rock n Roll in the New Orleans Superdome along with Sammy Hagar, Nazareth, Blue Oyster Cult, Heart and Van Halen. Tickets were $13.50. I'm so glad I grew up listening to music from the 70's.
If you told people that instrumental break was Kansas playing, no one would argue with you. Damn.
This Whole Album straight Jamz
This is an all time favorite cut.
The lead is so clean yet filled with soul
Awesome song, great reaction once again, thanks guys.
Totally understand your reaction to this song and Boston. Exactly how we all felt when this was released back in the day. I was 17, mind blown, lol
Huge Boston fan! The most underrated classic rock band. Tom's detail to making a supererior album blows my mind!
This and ROCK AND ROLL BAND are my favorites!!!!
Night Train To Munich, Al Stewart
Probably my favorite song by him and I know how much y’all loved Year of the Cat
I was 21 the first time hearing Boston. Caught a ride home one night after work from a workmate, and he popped in this 8 track tape, and wow!
Tom Scholz said this about Brad Delp in a Rolling Stone interview:
Rolling Stone - "What qualities did his voice have that made him such a perfect vocalist for your music? "
Tom Scholz: "He didn't warm up; he just listened to the prerecorded instrument track once. Then he started to sing. I don't know if it took two seconds or three, but before he finished singing the first line I knew that some guardian angel had just delivered to me one of the best vocalists ever to step up to a microphone! Then he kept going and I realized he wasn't just one of the best, he was amazing! High notes I hadn't heard before followed by harmonies, and overdubbed exact duplicate layered tracks, all with ease, all with emotion and yet all technically precise.”
By Rolling Stone magazine-2007
I remember buying this album when it came out when I was 16. Still love their music today.
I love how you paused it, and then appreciated it, and then ran it ALL the way back! 😆 That's love! Lol I agree with much of what you guys said. RIP Brad Delp!
Great reaction boys!! Can you imagine, I'm driving around in my 72 Roadrunner (440 Magnum, 750 Double Pumper carburetor, Doug Thorley headers 425 horsepower), Mind blaster speakers and listening to this whole album when it came out, on an 8-track tape, and just being carried away by this incredible band. It's a joy to watch you guys get hooked by the music and pulled into that special space. I appreciate your response to this music of the gods, literally. Blessings, Neil
My fav from them 🤟😎🤟 tearing up listening/watching Soooooo friggin great
i am 65 and still listen to this album..a masterpiece
Every song a classic. Legendary debut.
Thanks guys! What a great reaction. You three just reminded me of myself and my buddies back in 1976! We heard it first time then and I'm so happy to watch you appreciating such an amazing band! Guys, listen to this album front to back! You'll love it!! Either you love it, or your money bacK! :)
Born and raised in sleepy northern Maine, I always wondered if I was going to have to hitch a ride all the way to San Francisco California as a teenager. It seemed like a new world and so far away! Now I live here forever! Always by the way of BOSTON.
All vocals are by Brad Delp including backups.
Tom Scholz recorded this album in the basement of his home on equipment he built to get the sounds he wanted.
There was no “Boston” band till Tom got a recording contract.
You mentioned the organ. When I saw this band in concert, they had a giant silkscreen of a pipe organ as their backdrop. When the organ played it would light up. Everyone went crazy. It was pretty cool.
True greatness! This song right here! Genius
Have to check out a Classic from their 3rd Stage Album-Amanda….Brads Voice is Mega Showcased…RIP.
And We’re Ready!!!! Third Stage doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
Scholz and Geudreau double guitar solos in concert were simply magical.
“A Man I’ll Never Be” off their third album.
“A Man I’ll Never Be” About Artist: Boston Album: Don't Look Back Released: 1978
My favourite ever Boston song!
I was 12 years old when this came out and I wore out the album, the cassette and the 8 track copies of it.
Nobody talks about Boston's 4th album, 'Walk On', but it's almost as brilliant as their first album, well worth the money.
I've seen hundreds of reaction videos and this one is my favorite.
This was such a phenomenal album. I love this song and it's rather bittersweet for me - many of the people that I hung around with at that time have passed away and it's not even like they were old.
Thank you for visiting this one.
more Boston to check out after you've completed the first album." A man i'll never be" "Amanda" "Don't look Back" "feelin satisfied" "Cantcha say"
I pray you guys did some research on Boston...this was basically done in One guys basement, he played all the instruments, well, 95%...but Brad Delp on vocals made it perfect! I was blessed to actualyl see their first tour in Jacksonville , Fl..., the things we take for granted....I will never forget
We were so lucky, best music ever
You were asking if they matched this album? No, they didn't, but they nearly did. Don't look Back from the second album and Man I'll Never Be come very close. Possibly slightly over produced, but still fabulous.
I bought this fantastic album when it was released and still have it today! One of my very favorite!
