Even the day I heard this song for the first time, it was like an old friend. I was wondering if the song was new, or if it was an old "forgotten song", as strong was the feeling I already knew it. Strange and hard to explain. Like if it was a "déjà vu" (already seen) feeling, but it was rather a "déjà entendu" (already heard) feeling. The well named song More Than A Feeling!
The RnR HoF is something I've decided to ignore. I mean, how can you induct The Notorious B.I.G, N.W.A. and Run DMC. into the RnR HoF but the likes of Boston, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden get snubbed again and again? Nothing against BIG, NWA and Run DMC, but it's the _Rock and Roll_ Hall of Fame...
I remember being 15 and hearing this on the radio for the first time on the school bus. Everyone just stopped talking and just listened. It was like nothing else heard before. It was a magical era, when music was real and fresh, and had meaning.
I always found it fascinating how Tom was able to blend his guitar and Brad's vocals so well that sometimes it's a little hard to tell where Brad stops and the guitar note takes over.
The thing is, Tom didn't really do anything related to that. The tracks were all cut and brought to Delp in LA to put down the vocals and everything was mixed by John Boylan...who deserves a lot of credit for the actual sound of this release. Heck Boylan actually suggested the name of the band be Boston.
I'm sorry, but when Brad goes from that D to that high E and is harmonizing with the guitar (right around 9:56) with all that power, it was just superhuman....he was truly a singular talent.
Agree. Brads voice was something to behold. Very few can sustain a note and take even higher so cleanly. Whitney Houston was known for it, but Delp never got a enough recognition.
Ian gillan of deep purple got his voice much higher than Brad Delps live back in his prime Delp can sing but he can’t sound the way he sounded on the studio album live.
Starting at 9:50 , there are two successive extremely high notes . I can hear a faint vocal harmony with them and singing ABOVE those notes , which makes it superhuman , agreed ! For Rebecca to not pause and acknowledge that marvel of human achievement , makes me sad . Again , Brad Delp was not recognized for his tremendously God-gifted voice . A profound loss to music and the human race . RIP Brad
but they could manipulate the playing speed of tape, right? and the length of a note won't need to change _that_ much to pitch it 10 cents or so. i'm sure they made vocal comps back then as well, it was just more tedious.
Your comment discounts the fact that Tom Scholz put his engineering degree from M.I.T. to good use by designing his own equipment to get that unique "Boston" sound.
"Tom Scholz made this in a BASEMENT with a box of SCRAPS!" Seriously though, it's easy to focus on the vocal power and range of Brad Delp (and it is absolutely amazing), but the sheer production, perfectionism and genius of Tom Scholz is astounding. The man INVENTED half the gear that the recording industry takes for granted. Nothing on earth sounded like what he wanted to hear so he just made new things and techniques to make the sounds he wanted in reality.
MIT grad, a studio album done in a basement. Duel tracking, and Tom was a masterpiece of talent and a perfectionist. I had this album (Record ) when it was first available, and was like nothing Id heard before. Saw them in concert, and it was a huge letdown. Everyone has their ‘off day,’ but it was disappointing. Brad couldn’t begin to hit those high notes. They would play a song, then run off the stage, come back, and do it again. ‘Starcastle’ was the opening band, and they quite frankly outdid Boston. I’m no way knocking Boston. Lot of collective talent there, just my experience. Peace!
I still remember when I first heard this on the radio. It was like nothing that had come before. Stunning. Went out and bought the record with money from my part-time job
That is VERY true. He recorded the guitars using what is now sold as the Tom Scholz Rockman. About the size of a walkman it was quite the innovation of the time.
I 'believe' Scholz also used a Marshall amp, that he had an attenuator (power soak) hooked up to. I very well could be wrong on that, I'm sure someone else can provide more info.
I saw these guys in 1995, and Brad Delp held the final note of this song so long that the crowd gave him a standing ovation. I still get goose bumps when I hear this song.
I love Brad Delp - he was born in my hometown! Then he formed his Beatles' Tribute Band in the city I live in now. I got to see him live during that time. He was amazing and is terribly missed.
Rick Beato's break down of the vocals and instruments in this song is a must watch. Brad Delp's vocal range is amazing and it's not detectable that he melds with the guitar when he sings "slipped away" and "summer sky" until you hear the vocal isolated from the music. Incredible.
All of Beato's song breakdowns are fantastic...I learn things every time. He did a great one on Gordon Lightfoot's masterpiece "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Sundown"
Something he did was to leave a stticky note on his front door warning first responders to wear gas masks as his choice was to light a couple of grills in the house for carbon monoxide. Caring for others like he didn't seem to like himself. RIP
One of the best tunes EVER. Tom Scholz is a freaking genius and Brad Delp was such a fantastic singer, one of the best of all time!!! This is from 76, in case you can't remember!
10:30 that last line of the last chorus, when the background vocals come in and hold that final note in harmony with the lead vocals and the guitars come in, with headphones on you get immersed in that note, that sound, that harmony, that moment. Pure rock bliss.
When this album came out in 76 there had been nothing like it. Tom Scholtz was a guitarist and electronics engineer who nailed a unique guitar sound and Delp was a unique vocalist. You heard songs from this album on radios everywhere, and it was voted best rock album that year.
Not as much as the time my mind was blown overhearing someone unironically ask "was Boston actually from Boston?" I live in East Boston and this was at a venue in the greater Boston area. I wish everyone the best in the future.
The incredible Brad Delp (RIP) sang all the vocals. Tom Sholtz played all the instruments. While Steve Perry seemed to get more attention as a vocalist during this time, Brad had an incredible range and a unique tone. Love Boston!
Did Scholz play all the instruments on the actual release? I always heard that he'd done a really elaborate set of demos at his home studios, and that they re-recorded with the live unit. That would be pretty cool if it's true! Either way, this record has one of my favorite recorded guitar sounds.
Every song on the album that this song is from not only got radio play in 1976, but still gets radio play today. All of them. The only other album I can think of that is similar is the debut album from The Cars. Great song, and great vocals! RIP Brad Delp. ~Be Blessed
Lets go back just a year previous to this acknowledged masterpiece from Boston... Eagle's, One of These Nights... lest we forget, these guys were EVERYWHERE, country stations, rock stations, easy listening stations everywhere!
Music created from nothing!! No sampling just pure composition. I think that is why these younger reactors are so blown away. AND I LOVE TO SEE THEM DISCOVER IT.
Tom Scholz is a genius, and the late Brad Delp’s vocals are untouchable for a male vocalist IMO. Yours was the best breakdown of this iconic song that I’ve seen. Loved it! ❤️
@@jrk9679 Absolutely! Rick Beato breaks the song down instrument by instrument so you hear the bass line, lead guitar, drums plus Brad Delp singing both lead and harmony. It makes you appreciate it even more when you realize those little parts you think you hear but can't quite put a finger on are real and they add the finishing touch to an already incredible song.
Brad Delp probably had one of the THE best voices and ranges of all rock and roll singers. 9:46-9:56 is proof right there. So tragic that he took himself away from us so young.
I was 16 when this came out. Still have my LP that I bought with my hard-earned waitress money. Brad Delp lived in New Hampshire, and I now live in Maine. I still remember the morning when it came over the radio that Brad had taken his own life. I cried all the way to work. Hell, I'm still depressed over John Prine.
Daphine, I was born in Beverly, MA, Brad lived nearby and his family lived in the neighborhood I was from and Sib was from Beverly. Unknown to us until the album was just how talented they were.
I would get so mad growing up that my dad would only play 70’s and 80’s music in the car but I’m so thankful for it now. The thought that there are people out there around my age (mid twenties) that don’t know this song is insane to think about!
Brad Delp's younger brother was a primary school classmate of mine and one day in sixth grade before we went for the summer, Brad went to pick up his baby brother this was while they started recording this album. No one knew how iconic this would turn out. RIP Brad.
Brad did all the vocals himself. When asked why, he said, "Who better to harmonize with than yourself?" :-) He took his life the same day my 100 year old grandmother died. I cried for both.
For me, the switch from the high falsetto to the high note at full tilt (bridging into the chorus) is not like anything else I ever heard before, or since. He was a true vocal talent.
Great to see how this song lights you up. Back when it was on the radio, or rather just before it was on the radio, I was playing with a band in the Boston area, and we were rehearsing in a room in an old warehouse that had been divided into a dozen rehearsal spaces out at Fresh Pond in Cambridge. The room next to ours was rented by Tom to rehearse his new band, Boston, and we listened to them playing this song over and over and over, day after day. I must have heard it 50 times by the time they went on tour. It's a testament to how good the song is that I never got sick of it. And every time I hear it, it takes me back to those happy days in that space.
I am so pleased that you admitted you had heard this song. I have a hard time believing anybody out of high school hasn't heard it. That doesn't mean that you can give a valuable reaction to the song ... which I think you did. Thank you for your opinions and your honesty. BTW - loved your dancing - just perfect for the song.
This entire album is one of my comfort albums. It picks me up when I'm down. Boston are absolutely incredible. Brad Delp's voice was absolutely amazing.
The entire album was just Tom & Brad. They didn't find the other members until a label wanted to sign them. Tom & Brad wrote, played, sang, mixed, & produced everything you hear on that album.
NO the entire album was written by Tom and me. Brad wrote Take You Home Tonight. Sib, may he rest in peace, copied the drum parts I wrote from 1969 thru 1976
@@jamesmasdea947 assuming that you are in fact the Jim Masdea who played drums on the demo that ended up getting Tom and Brad signed with Epic, I have always wondered why you play drums on Rock and Roll Band on the record. Producer John Boylan is on the record saying that the drum tracks that Tom recorded were amateurish and could not be used on the record, so Boylan hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to to to Toms studio to teach him how to record drums and acoustic instruments as well as mic technique. Boylan then gave Tom a directive to re-record all drum tracks and some acoustic instruments on the record. When Tom says that the record company made him re-record the drum tracks because you were either forced out of "Boston" or decided to pursue other interests (depends on whose narrative you hear), is that when Sib was brought in. Or did Tom have to re-record your drum tracks using what Grupp taught him only to have Tom replace them when you left the project/band for what ever reason If you are in fact the Jim Masdea, I am glad that Tom finally gave you and Brad credit for all of your arrangement work on these songs albeit decades after the fact in 2006 in the liner notes of the Scholz remaster of this record. Hopefully you and Brad were compensated for not getting credit for this work for decades. Tom strikes me as someone who is not easy to work with and who is very narcissistic.
For my money the best classic rock band of all time. When you really break down their songs there's just so much going on and so much technical prowess on all fronts. Their songs are just so put together and perfectly interwoven. Perfect mix of technical mastery and just crazy "sing-along-ability"
"It's beautiful." It is beautiful... every time I've heard it... all these years... time fades away, but the timeless music stays with us, always doing its thing, like nothing else can 👍😁
Me too. Baloney on white bread with mustard and American cheese sandwiches while racing electric slot cars at my buddy's house. He puts his sister's record on. Magic.
Those high notes Brad hits are very hard to achieve for a guy. Really unworldly and sublime. He truly had a gift. I never get tired of hearing this song. Thank you, Brad, and RIP.
It would be such a joke to hear Drake, Ed Sheeran, Kanye, Harry Styles and today's other weak pop "superstar" vocalists choke😂❤if they ever attempted this masterpiece.
Another who could hit awesome notes was Ian Gillan from Deep Purple. His range in Child in Time (released in 1970) is unbelievable. Some say the studio version on the In Rock album is best, yet others say the BBC live version is best. I just love both!
There will just never be another Brad Delp. I still so sadly remember the day he died and what was on the Boston webpage. "We've just lost the nicest guy in Rock and Roll"
Brad Delp was the singer on this, may he RIP. I met him in the late 80s around the time of their 3rd album, and he was such a nice, humble, down to earth guy.
Lol...I will be 56 on May 18th. I love a lot of 60s, 70s, 80s rock. I remember when this song came out in 1976. I was 10 or 11 depending when in 1976 it was released. Boston had many great songs.
This song is everything music should be. That build to the chorus is one of the most epic things I have ever heard. The bass is forceful and out in front to give this song that extra punch. Those claps add to the vibe,as well. The drummer doubling up heading into that turnaround adds variety to the chorus,but he’s amazing because he isn’t overplaying. It is JUST ENOUGH to keep that punchy feel in the chorus. And,not for nothing,Brad Delp is a vocal savant. To have that type of control in his head voice as well as blending his chest voice into his head voice so effortlessly at that peak is just crazy. Sounded very similar to Freddie Mercury with the late vibrato heading into the solo. All time great song.
As a lifelong musician, I was in college when this was released' We spent hours dissecting the intricacies. Everyone knew this would be hard to beat and stand the test of time. Truly iconic in many ways. 16 track, I think. TS was a genius..... production, saturation techniques, harmony voicings.... Besides guitar, keys and all the cool bass parts... and Brad!
Those first 2 Boston albums are timeless. They sound just as good today as the day they came out. Sadly Brad Delp is no longer with us. He had such an amazing voice.
To me they sound better today but only technically because I had the first two albums on cassette... I wish I could have played records in my parents' car.
When this album came out, I had never heard anything like it, and I can frankly say, I have never heard anything like it since. Even Boston themselves could never surpass their own creation. Thanks for doing this one Rebecca, it is timeless.
4 minute mark, when you re-paused to talk about enjoying the guitars, Brad is still singing "Ah, ahh, ahh, ah ahh" in unison with the guitar lead in a high falsetto. It's one of the dynamic 'guitar' voices that made Boston and especially this song so timeless. If you really want vocal appreciation, try the isolated vocal track of this song.
I remember hearing this when it first came out all those years ago, 1976, and the thing I love is that this song and album still holds up after all these years. So sad that we lost Brad Delp so young, such an amazing voice; and Tom Scholz, the Mastermind behind Boston, a brilliant guitarist and an MIT Trained Engineer.
one of bostons great strengths was that while the vocals went one direction the instruments were allowed to go another then they came together at the right times. thats why it is so hard to not listen and hear something different everytime. it was and is beautiful and timeless
Penticton British Columbia Canada in the sunny Okanagan , repeated weekends camping with friends skaha beach. Lots of vehicles with great sound systems hearing this song over and over again randomly. Always feeling up. Party days.
Brad did lead and harmonies; his vocals floor you. This album does not have one bad or unpopular song on it; every single song got massive radio play, and still does. This was my first album... mom bought it for me, Christmas 1976; I was 8 years old.
So pleased that you reviewed this song and also pleased that the people commenting below generally have a good knowledge of Boston. What many probably don't realise is that amongst Brad's harmonies is also Tom's guitar but it blends in so well that it sounds like a vocal. Tom is such a clever guy, especially as he had to invent his own guitar effects to get the sounds he wanted. Every guitarist worth their salt has an effect that Tom invented. Needless to say he is also very rich - and why not.
More Than A Feeling. Don't Stop Believing. I was so fortunate to be a music loving teenager when these two songs came out and I can't believe that they still resonate in my life. Absolute perfection and I was there to "see" it. I remember when Boston came out with the first album and I was telling anyone and everyone about it. They laughed and said they're not as good as Kiss, Queen, etc...(all - great bands for sure) but Boston ended up being iconic in their own right! R.I.P. Brad. I don't know what was missing in your life that made you feel like you had no other choice than to leave this earth, but you are greatly missed!
This is one of those songs that, if you let it, will transcend time and touch your soul. I was born in 1981, but I still feel the magic and nostalgia of this masterpiece as though I lived it.
I was a 19-year old guy in Tulsa when this was released. Like that lyric by McCartney in "You Never Give Me Your Money": "🎶Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go 🎶". THIS song ALWAYS gives me that magic feeling, even as a man lucky enough to have made it into his sixties.
I was in Seattle back in the 1990s and turned on the rock radio station to hear the DJs moaning about being old because they played this song and some teenager called up to find out who that great new band was.
Brads voice on this song was layered 5 times. They took 5 sperate vocal tracks and put them on top of each other for the chorus type effect. I heard Brads isolated vocal track several years ago and they're nothing short of magic.
Rick Beato's analysis of Brad's voice is phenominal as a matter of fact this is one of the longest of his "What Makes This Song Great" series. This is the link ruclips.net/video/ynFNt4tgBJ0/видео.html.
This album and song came out in 1976, early in my sophomore year in high school and this lead me into what eventually morphed into my love of Prog Metal. Boston was never considered metal but they were melodic and hard rock. They were my first favorite true rock band and that melodic, harmonious sound along with the power is what I look for most in music. I can listen to very heavy stuff, but my favorite style has both the heaviness and the harmony. Boston weren’t the first to do it, but they perfected it.
We played this song at the close of my only brother's funeral. RIP 🙏 Tim. I miss u so much😓Keep flying high 💜 I know u were smiling down at us when u heard this...
You and, dare I say many people see "More Than A Feeling" as Elation. I relate this song to Sorrow. It was the first song I heard as I (twelve years old at the time) was driven home from the hospital where my mother had just passed away. I was asleep down the hall, so the lyric, "I closed my eyes and she slipped away", rings true with me. I still love this song, how can you not? But the same thing can mean polar opposites to different people.
Roy, thanks for sharing your story. The song brings back all the emotion of the summer of 1976 for me. Not all of it was positive, that's for sure. Take care.
Like I said above, this was at best a bittersweet message. Tom speaks of this in an interview, but I think he holds back and does not go as far as to say the truth. That his heart was broken and that is what this song projects to anyone that really understands how important it was back them for true artist to have their lyrics have depth and meaning and say something that could convey a real message and stir emotions.
In 1981 I spent the night at my friends house, his big brother just went to the record store, and was very excited to play this record for us. I was about 11 years old, and I saw the cover of the album was a spaceship, I was not ready for what came out of his stereo as we stared at the record player I could never forget the record turning, and it matched the song. I was mesmerized. All we did was stare at the record and listen to this, I miss those days when legends were born it seemed daily on the radio.
Tom Sholz was an MIT grad, working for Polaroid in the early 70's. He built a studio, in his basement, it took five years to finalize 'More Than A Feeling' which was released on the "Boston" album in 1976.
Another great reaction and analysis Rebecca. We've survived actually contracting that damned Covid, we apologize for nothing anymore; we live out loud. I think the reason Boston is gaining a new momentum is because Tom's music is uplifting, positive, and happy. We're so glad to see you back. We missed you. Two big fans here.
Tom is an engineer, designed, built, and played all the instruments on the studio recording along with designing the sound enhancement equipment. A Genius! Brad was also a unique talent who was very troubled and sadly took his own life. Music that will last forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For pure rock vocals the late Brad Delp is hard to beat, very glad you've discovered his amazing talent. Scholz not only wrote and played all the instruments except the drums, he also arranged and did the final mixing. He also designed and built a lot of the recording equipment in his basement studio. Many of his recording techniques are still used today.
I was in boot camp in my Drill Instructor's office when this song came on his radio and I'm like, WHAT IS THAT??? I got punished later for being so distracted, but it was worth it!
I saw BOSTON live in Toronto Aug 1978. I will never forget hearing them live and everything was perfect. I still have my 2 ticket stubs, and they are just like the night I seen them, not a bend or a crease in them. I just turned 17 and it was awesome.
I've met lots of younger people who enjoy the "tempo" of these older songs, but they don't truly appreciate the raw talent that went into making this generation of music and the artists who gave of us the greatest music of our or any generation. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶
You should read the lyrics, they are extremely poignant. I always get a bit emotional when I hear this song because it makes me think of a very special person I knew who "got away"....just like Marianne. A true classic!
Best concert I have ever been to..!! No openers, just Boston by themselves for over 3 hrs..!! Sounded just as good live as the album, which doesn’t happen too often..!! Keep on keepin on Rebecca.. new to your channel..and you freaking rock..!! Love your reactions to 80’s hair bands..!! You’re gonna love Boston..!! Much love from NC..!!
If you are of a certain age, this song is like an old friend.
It feels like wrapping myself in a cozy blanket in front of the fire.
After 45 years, I still get a little flutter of elation in my gut when it comes on. 😁
Absolutely! Whenever I hear this I think of happier,carefree times.
Yes - well put🤟

One of the biggest shames is the fact they have yet to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is actually one of the biggest shames, lol.

Not a shame, it's a frigging crime.
The RnR HoF is something I've decided to ignore. I mean, how can you induct The Notorious B.I.G, N.W.A. and Run DMC. into the RnR HoF but the likes of Boston, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden get snubbed again and again? Nothing against BIG, NWA and Run DMC, but it's the _Rock and Roll_ Hall of Fame...

They are far away of that
I remember being 15 and hearing this on the radio for the first time on the school bus. Everyone just stopped talking and just listened. It was like nothing else heard before. It was a magical era, when music was real and fresh, and had meaning.
This song “more than a feeling” took Tom 5 yrs to make. Yes, the song not the album.
I love watching a beautiful woman singer totally geek out over the genius that was Boston, Scholtz and Brad Delp....

Nice double tracking on Brad Delp's vocals and the acoustic guitar.
Stole my comment... Back when they recorded "live" and his voice is amazing!!!

In my estimation this is one of the greatest hard rock songs ever. It was beyond innovative for its time.
Tom Scholz and Brian May are on a very short list of people in the music industry who can appropriately be compared with Tony Stark.

Just watched it. Incredible.
All of Beato's song breakdowns are fantastic...I learn things every time. He did a great one on Gordon Lightfoot's masterpiece "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Sundown"
Yes, check it out.
Tom Scholz’s masterpiece
definitely! @@Zod741
RIP Brad Delp. Great voice
Something he did was to leave a stticky note on his front door warning first responders to wear gas masks as his choice was to light a couple of grills in the house for carbon monoxide. Caring for others like he didn't seem to like himself. RIP
@@jprocker6368 yeah that was sad hearing that
He passed in Atkinson NH which is 15 minutes from me. I remember it well. Very sad time.
One of the best tunes EVER. Tom Scholz is a freaking genius and Brad Delp was such a fantastic singer, one of the best of all time!!!
This is from 76, in case you can't remember!
Well said ! 👍✌🏻
Well said…
My Girlfriend and I (now wife of 39 yrs ) saw Boston live at Bingley Hall in Stafford in 1979 , amazing memories . What an album .
😍❤️
and congratulations...
@@TeemarkConvair Thank you my friend , she always was going to be a keeper .
I bet you guys have so many great memories. God bless you
5 encores if the rumour is true
Can never go wrong with Boston I get chills every time I hear them!
10:30 that last line of the last chorus, when the background vocals come in and hold that final note in harmony with the lead vocals and the guitars come in, with headphones on you get immersed in that note, that sound, that harmony, that moment. Pure rock bliss.
When this album came out in 76 there had been nothing like it. Tom Scholtz was a guitarist and electronics engineer who nailed a unique guitar sound and Delp was a unique vocalist. You heard songs from this album on radios everywhere, and it was voted best rock album that year.
it earned best album
It was also the biggest selling debut album of all time until Guns & Roses "Appetite for Destruction" was released.
Still one of the best rock albums in my book.
There is nothing like it still. The older it gets, the better it gets. Unlike me! 😂
Best debut and one of the best albums straight up. Absolutely LOVE this album. Got the songs in my iPod and own the CD.
I was 20 something when Boston blew our minds, no one had ever heard music like this. Boston changed rock music forever. 🎶
Not as much as the time my mind was blown overhearing someone unironically ask "was Boston actually from Boston?" I live in East Boston and this was at a venue in the greater Boston area. I wish everyone the best in the future.
Want to hear some good vocals listen to Last in Line by Dio . There is some great Rock Vocals.
Also that whole Boston album was made in his garage.
saw them in 1979.
Brad Delp was one of the greatest singers of all time..RIP BRAD DELP
Sure was. Never got his due regarding his great voice.
If not the best
The whole album is a masterpiece.
I never felt brad delp got the Respect he deserved. He had a sad ending but he was a amazing person and musician. He was a amazing vocalist
The incredible Brad Delp (RIP) sang all the vocals. Tom Sholtz played all the instruments. While Steve Perry seemed to get more attention as a vocalist during this time, Brad had an incredible range and a unique tone. Love Boston!
Missed you Rebecca! Hope life is treating you well. Love to see you react to The Beautiful Ones Prince sang live on the George Lopez show.
Jim Masdea was the studio drummer. Sib Hashian became the drummer before album dropped, RIP. Side note, his daughter is married to the Rock.
All 3 of them were freaking amazing!
Did Scholz play all the instruments on the actual release? I always heard that he'd done a really elaborate set of demos at his home studios, and that they re-recorded with the live unit. That would be pretty cool if it's true! Either way, this record has one of my favorite recorded guitar sounds.
@@blackfuel1 All except drums which was Jim Masdea.
Every song on the album that this song is from not only got radio play in 1976, but still gets radio play today. All of them. The only other album I can think of that is similar is the debut album from The Cars. Great song, and great vocals! RIP Brad Delp. ~Be Blessed
Dont look back has several that still get air play as well.
heh, "The Cars" album has been called The Cars first greatest hits album.
@@shaneheavy67 Several is not all. Good album, but not every song on there gets airplay.
Lets go back just a year previous to this acknowledged masterpiece from Boston... Eagle's, One of These Nights... lest we forget, these guys were EVERYWHERE, country stations, rock stations, easy listening stations everywhere!
Led Zeppelin IV is another, but maybe not at the time of release.
Yea, NO AUTO-TUNE! NO DOUBLE MASKING, REAL INSTRUMENTS. REAL F*ING MUSIC
Music created from nothing!! No sampling just pure composition. I think that is why these younger reactors are so blown away. AND I LOVE TO SEE THEM DISCOVER IT.
This song is simply a timeless masterpiece.
Tom Scholz is a genius, and the late Brad Delp’s vocals are untouchable for a male vocalist IMO. Yours was the best breakdown of this iconic song that I’ve seen. Loved it! ❤️
You need to check out Rick Beato's breakdown of this song. I don't know if YT will let me post a link or not: ruclips.net/video/ynFNt4tgBJ0/видео.html
This was a good breakdown but not near the best. Look at Rick Beato video on this song.
@@jrk9679 Absolutely! Rick Beato breaks the song down instrument by instrument so you hear the bass line, lead guitar, drums plus Brad Delp singing both lead and harmony. It makes you appreciate it even more when you realize those little parts you think you hear but can't quite put a finger on are real and they add the finishing touch to an already incredible song.
Brad Delp probably had one of the THE best voices and ranges of all rock and roll singers. 9:46-9:56 is proof right there. So tragic that he took himself away from us so young.
I was 16 when this came out. Still have my LP that I bought with my hard-earned waitress money. Brad Delp lived in New Hampshire, and I now live in Maine. I still remember the morning when it came over the radio that Brad had taken his own life. I cried all the way to work. Hell, I'm still depressed over John Prine.
*Delp
@@Mr.Ekshin damn autocorrect. Thanks, Sven
What?!?! I had no idea.
How the hell does a person
Go to work in the morning
Come home in the evening
And have nothin to say?
Daphine, I was born in Beverly, MA, Brad lived nearby and his family lived in the neighborhood I was from and Sib was from Beverly. Unknown to us until the album was just how talented they were.
You did it... You did it, I requested this some time ago.. My day is officially MADE!
But this chick can’t even modulate her own mic! Plus, nobody can doubt how good Boston is, her opinions are irrelevant
@@Maipenrai55 What?
Oh my gosh!!!I was a teenager when Boston blew our minds. This was ground breaking sound!!!!!
I would get so mad growing up that my dad would only play 70’s and 80’s music in the car but I’m so thankful for it now. The thought that there are people out there around my age (mid twenties) that don’t know this song is insane to think about!
Brad Delp's younger brother was a primary school classmate of mine and one day in sixth grade before we went for the summer, Brad went to pick up his baby brother this was while they started recording this album. No one knew how iconic this would turn out. RIP Brad.
This is one of those timeless songs. No matter how terrible of a day you're having, if it comes on, it lifts your spirits. Rest in peace, Brad.
Brad did all the vocals himself. When asked why, he said, "Who better to harmonize with than yourself?" :-)
He took his life the same day my 100 year old grandmother died.
I cried for both.
I’m really sorry man :(
For me, the switch from the high falsetto to the high note at full tilt (bridging into the chorus) is not like anything else I ever heard before, or since. He was a true vocal talent.
I’ve watched several analyses of this song and it’s simply impossible to describe. The perfect song
Great to see how this song lights you up. Back when it was on the radio, or rather just before it was on the radio, I was playing with a band in the Boston area, and we were rehearsing in a room in an old warehouse that had been divided into a dozen rehearsal spaces out at Fresh Pond in Cambridge. The room next to ours was rented by Tom to rehearse his new band, Boston, and we listened to them playing this song over and over and over, day after day. I must have heard it 50 times by the time they went on tour. It's a testament to how good the song is that I never got sick of it. And every time I hear it, it takes me back to those happy days in that space.
I am so pleased that you admitted you had heard this song. I have a hard time believing anybody out of high school hasn't heard it. That doesn't mean that you can give a valuable reaction to the song ... which I think you did. Thank you for your opinions and your honesty. BTW - loved your dancing - just perfect for the song.
This entire album is one of my comfort albums. It picks me up when I'm down. Boston are absolutely incredible. Brad Delp's voice was absolutely amazing.
This deserves to be in the conversation of the top 10 of the greatest songs ever written.
I worked for them in the mid-70's.
Let me tell you, you'll never hear a more powerful, perfect voice than Brad's. RIP.
A Hymn of a whole Century!.....one of the Greatest Songs ever written !!!
The entire album was just Tom & Brad. They didn't find the other members until a label wanted to sign them. Tom & Brad wrote, played, sang, mixed, & produced everything you hear on that album.
Sib Hashian played all drums.....
Oops! Your correct! Don't know how over the years I forgot that.
NO the entire album was written by Tom and me. Brad wrote Take You Home Tonight. Sib, may he rest in peace, copied the drum parts I wrote from 1969 thru 1976
@@jamesmasdea947 On behalf of millions of fans of this, Boston’s finest album, thank you for your contributions to this project.
@@jamesmasdea947 assuming that you are in fact the Jim Masdea who played drums on the demo that ended up getting Tom and Brad signed with Epic, I have always wondered why you play drums on Rock and Roll Band on the record. Producer John Boylan is on the record saying that the drum tracks that Tom recorded were amateurish and could not be used on the record, so Boylan hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to to to Toms studio to teach him how to record drums and acoustic instruments as well as mic technique. Boylan then gave Tom a directive to re-record all drum tracks and some acoustic instruments on the record. When Tom says that the record company made him re-record the drum tracks because you were either forced out of "Boston" or decided to pursue other interests (depends on whose narrative you hear), is that when Sib was brought in. Or did Tom have to re-record your drum tracks using what Grupp taught him only to have Tom replace them when you left the project/band for what ever reason
If you are in fact the Jim Masdea, I am glad that Tom finally gave you and Brad credit for all of your arrangement work on these songs albeit decades after the fact in 2006 in the liner notes of the Scholz remaster of this record. Hopefully you and Brad were compensated for not getting credit for this work for decades. Tom strikes me as someone who is not easy to work with and who is very narcissistic.
There's never been a better debut album.
This and The Cars are probably the only 2 albums that every song on them gets played on the radio...to this day.
Agree with you on the Cars debut album. One of the best!!
Montrose and Van halen ?
Zep 1, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath. I'm not taking away anything from Boston because the album was perfect too.
@@michaelheller8841 I guess my standards must be high they cannot compare with bands like you mentioned.
For my money the best classic rock band of all time. When you really break down their songs there's just so much going on and so much technical prowess on all fronts. Their songs are just so put together and perfectly interwoven. Perfect mix of technical mastery and just crazy "sing-along-ability"
"It's beautiful." It is beautiful... every time I've heard it... all these years... time fades away, but the timeless music stays with us, always doing its thing, like nothing else can 👍😁
Ok, now imagine being American, a teenager in high school and hearing this this stoned when it it first came out. Welcome to my past. 😁🇺🇸✌️
This and Van Halen. Wow!!!
Wow, you nailed it!
Me too. Baloney on white bread with mustard and American cheese sandwiches while racing electric slot cars at my buddy's house. He puts his sister's record on. Magic.
What colors were the three stripes at the top of your tube sucks? 🤣😜
Me too bro🤘✌️
Love this. Probably the greatest debut album in rock history. Sure do miss Brad’s voice.
When you said this is the moment we live for - you nailed it. I've listened to this song a thousand times & that moment is everything! 🎵❤✌
9:59, and yes. So much.
Those high notes Brad hits are very hard to achieve for a guy. Really unworldly and sublime. He truly had a gift. I never get tired of hearing this song. Thank you, Brad, and RIP.
Tom hit those high notes in full voice with power and perfect pitch. So much technique but also soul and Feeling.
It would be such a joke to hear Drake, Ed Sheeran, Kanye, Harry Styles and today's other weak pop "superstar" vocalists choke😂❤if they ever attempted this masterpiece.
Another who could hit awesome notes was Ian Gillan from Deep Purple. His range in Child in Time (released in 1970) is unbelievable. Some say the studio version on the In Rock album is best, yet others say the BBC live version is best. I just love both!
There will just never be another Brad Delp. I still so sadly remember the day he died and what was on the Boston webpage. "We've just lost the nicest guy in Rock and Roll"
Brad Delp was the singer on this, may he RIP. I met him in the late 80s around the time of their 3rd album, and he was such a nice, humble, down to earth guy.
Delp is one of the greatest rock voices to ever exist. Damned close to perfectly constructed pop rock song. One of the few hit songs I never tire of.
Lol...I will be 56 on May 18th. I love a lot of 60s, 70s, 80s rock. I remember when this song came out in 1976. I was 10 or 11 depending when in 1976 it was released. Boston had many great songs.
This song is everything music should be. That build to the chorus is one of the most epic things I have ever heard. The bass is forceful and out in front to give this song that extra punch. Those claps add to the vibe,as well. The drummer doubling up heading into that turnaround adds variety to the chorus,but he’s amazing because he isn’t overplaying. It is JUST ENOUGH to keep that punchy feel in the chorus.
And,not for nothing,Brad Delp is a vocal savant. To have that type of control in his head voice as well as blending his chest voice into his head voice so effortlessly at that peak is just crazy. Sounded very similar to Freddie Mercury with the late vibrato heading into the solo. All time great song.
As a lifelong musician, I was in college when this was released' We spent hours dissecting the intricacies. Everyone knew this would be hard to beat and stand the test of time. Truly iconic in many ways. 16 track, I think. TS was a genius..... production, saturation techniques, harmony voicings.... Besides guitar, keys and all the cool bass parts... and Brad!
Those first 2 Boston albums are timeless. They sound just as good today as the day they came out. Sadly Brad Delp is no longer with us. He had such an amazing voice.
To me they sound better today but only technically because I had the first two albums on cassette... I wish I could have played records in my parents' car.
I literally grew up with this song. 🥺 This is such a moment for me right now. Makes me nostalgic.
When this album came out, I had never heard anything like it, and I can frankly say, I have never heard anything like it since. Even Boston themselves could never surpass their own creation. Thanks for doing this one Rebecca, it is timeless.
4 minute mark, when you re-paused to talk about enjoying the guitars, Brad is still singing "Ah, ahh, ahh, ah ahh" in unison with the guitar lead in a high falsetto. It's one of the dynamic 'guitar' voices that made Boston and especially this song so timeless.
If you really want vocal appreciation, try the isolated vocal track of this song.
His voice is freaking incredible! The harmonies are spot on too. Head banging music at its finest.
I remember hearing this when it first came out all those years ago, 1976, and the thing I love is that this song and album still holds up after all these years. So sad that we lost Brad Delp so young, such an amazing voice; and Tom Scholz, the Mastermind behind Boston, a brilliant guitarist and an MIT Trained Engineer.
one of bostons great strengths was that while the vocals went one direction the instruments were allowed to go another then they came together at the right times. thats why it is so hard to not listen and hear something different everytime. it was and is beautiful and timeless
This is one of my all-time favorite songs! Good choice, dear!
Penticton British Columbia Canada in the sunny Okanagan , repeated weekends camping with friends skaha beach. Lots of vehicles with great sound systems hearing this song over and over again randomly. Always feeling up. Party days.
Brad did lead and harmonies; his vocals floor you. This album does not have one bad or unpopular song on it; every single song got massive radio play, and still does. This was my first album... mom bought it for me, Christmas 1976; I was 8 years old.
This entire album is a masterpiece!
Their first 3 albums are all great. Not a bad song in the bunch.
Absolutely Timeless
So pleased that you reviewed this song and also pleased that the people commenting below generally have a good knowledge of Boston. What many probably don't realise is that amongst Brad's harmonies is also Tom's guitar but it blends in so well that it sounds like a vocal. Tom is such a clever guy, especially as he had to invent his own guitar effects to get the sounds he wanted. Every guitarist worth their salt has an effect that Tom invented. Needless to say he is also very rich - and why not.
More Than A Feeling. Don't Stop Believing. I was so fortunate to be a music loving teenager when these two songs came out and I can't believe that they still resonate in my life. Absolute perfection and I was there to "see" it. I remember when Boston came out with the first album and I was telling anyone and everyone about it. They laughed and said they're not as good as Kiss, Queen, etc...(all - great bands for sure) but Boston ended up being iconic in their own right! R.I.P. Brad. I don't know what was missing in your life that made you feel like you had no other choice than to leave this earth, but you are greatly missed!
This is one of those songs that, if you let it, will transcend time and touch your soul. I was born in 1981, but I still feel the magic and nostalgia of this masterpiece as though I lived it.
I was a 19-year old guy in Tulsa when this was released. Like that lyric by McCartney in "You Never Give Me Your Money": "🎶Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go 🎶". THIS song ALWAYS gives me that magic feeling, even as a man lucky enough to have made it into his sixties.
I was in Seattle back in the 1990s and turned on the rock radio station to hear the DJs moaning about being old because they played this song and some teenager called up to find out who that great new band was.
Brads voice on this song was layered 5 times. They took 5 sperate vocal tracks and put them on top of each other for the chorus type effect. I heard Brads isolated vocal track several years ago and they're nothing short of magic.
Where did you hear them at?
Rick Beato's analysis of Brad's voice is phenominal as a matter of fact this is one of the longest of his "What Makes This Song Great" series. This is the link ruclips.net/video/ynFNt4tgBJ0/видео.html.

The Greatest Song of all time, in my opinion.
This music was unfolding during my tees age years. It was and is incredible. I love that so many 20-30 year olds are discovering and embracing it.
always insightful always beautiful
This album and song came out in 1976, early in my sophomore year in high school and this lead me into what eventually morphed into my love of Prog Metal. Boston was never considered metal but they were melodic and hard rock. They were my first favorite true rock band and that melodic, harmonious sound along with the power is what I look for most in music. I can listen to very heavy stuff, but my favorite style has both the heaviness and the harmony. Boston weren’t the first to do it, but they perfected it.
We played this song at the close of my only brother's funeral. RIP 🙏 Tim. I miss u so much😓Keep flying high 💜 I know u were smiling down at us when u heard this...
💝💝💝
You and, dare I say many people see "More Than A Feeling" as Elation. I relate this song to Sorrow. It was the first song I heard as I (twelve years old at the time) was driven home from the hospital where my mother had just passed away. I was asleep down the hall, so the lyric, "I closed my eyes and she slipped away", rings true with me. I still love this song, how can you not? But the same thing can mean polar opposites to different people.
Roy, very sorry this song brings memories like that back losing your mom, thank you so much for sharing your story.
Roy, thanks for sharing your story. The song brings back all the emotion of the summer of 1976 for me. Not all of it was positive, that's for sure. Take care.
Like I said above, this was at best a bittersweet message. Tom speaks of this in an interview, but I think he holds back and does not go as far as to say the truth. That his heart was broken and that is what this song projects to anyone that really understands how important it was back them for true artist to have their lyrics have depth and meaning and say something that could convey a real message and stir emotions.
This sounds to sad to be true :(
I'm so sorry 😞 it's amazing how a song can take you back to a certain time
In 1981 I spent the night at my friends house, his big brother just went to the record store, and was very excited to play this record for us. I was about 11 years old, and I saw the cover of the album was a spaceship, I was not ready for what came out of his stereo as we stared at the record player I could never forget the record turning, and it matched the song. I was mesmerized. All we did was stare at the record and listen to this, I miss those days when legends were born it seemed daily on the radio.
Tom Sholz was an MIT grad, working for Polaroid in the early 70's. He built a studio, in his basement, it took five years to finalize 'More Than A Feeling' which was released on the "Boston" album in 1976.
Another great reaction and analysis Rebecca. We've survived actually contracting that damned Covid, we apologize for nothing anymore; we live out loud. I think the reason Boston is gaining a new momentum is because Tom's music is uplifting, positive, and happy. We're so glad to see you back. We missed you. Two big fans here.
Brad went from working at coffee shops too going in the studio and making one of the best songs ever recorded love your reaction 😊
Tom is an engineer, designed, built, and played all the instruments on the studio recording along with designing the sound enhancement equipment. A Genius! Brad was also a unique talent who was very troubled and sadly took his own life. Music that will last forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE your energy!! “I’d just be happy with tambourine” I HEAR YA! As a teenager, Riding back roads with this 8 track turned up!! Good job
Thank you Rebecca for recognizing this. This Boston album/CD took us by storm here across the pond. It has now moved into legendary in some circles.
For pure rock vocals the late Brad Delp is hard to beat, very glad you've discovered his amazing talent. Scholz not only wrote and played all the instruments except the drums, he also arranged and did the final mixing. He also designed and built a lot of the recording equipment in his basement studio. Many of his recording techniques are still used today.
Nice to see you here Carl! :D Rebecca with another great reaction!
Those high notes are definitely a falsetto but I’ve never heard anyone use it with so much power and clarity, awesome.
I was in boot camp in my Drill Instructor's office when this song came on his radio and I'm like, WHAT IS THAT??? I got punished later for being so distracted, but it was worth it!
There is no doubt you got smoked for that lapse in discipline...LoL
I saw BOSTON live in Toronto Aug 1978. I will never forget hearing them live and everything was perfect. I still have my 2 ticket stubs, and they are just like the night I seen them, not a bend or a crease in them. I just turned 17 and it was awesome.
The high energy beginning and slow resume feels like a good book that starts with an action scene and fills out the exposition later. So powerful.
I've met lots of younger people who enjoy the "tempo" of these older songs, but they don't truly appreciate the raw talent that went into making this generation of music and the artists who gave of us the greatest music of our or any generation. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶
6:09 can we just all agree that Rebecca is the cutest here?
That's a cute comment
@@rva ❤️🥺
I was gonna go with 00:00 to 13:17 meself :)
I have to agree!!
You should read the lyrics, they are extremely poignant. I always get a bit emotional when I hear this song because it makes me think of a very special person I knew who "got away"....just like Marianne. A true classic!
Best concert I have ever been to..!! No openers, just Boston by themselves for over 3 hrs..!! Sounded just as good live as the album, which doesn’t happen too often..!! Keep on keepin on Rebecca.. new to your channel..and you freaking rock..!! Love your reactions to 80’s hair bands..!! You’re gonna love Boston..!! Much love from NC..!!
geez, i did a whole load of laundry and hes STILL holdin that last high note ;)
