      I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of SISTER CHRISTIAN by Night Ranger, IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake, and RADIO GA-GA by Queen in tribute to the age of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Stay safe and keep on rocking in the '020s.

This song has a magical power that can transform me to being 12 years old.. that time when everything is changing.. no longer a child but not an adult. Boston’s album was the soundtrack of my life at that time.. my sister and I listened to it EVERY DAY.. many times a day... I loved it then and I love it now.. it will never be out of date or not relevant to me.

      Growing up in the New England area, I knew Brad and Tom (Brad lived just a few towns over from me). I still can't stop shedding a tear when I hear this album...A lot of folks don't know that Tom played every instrument on this album (except the drums). Extremely talented. Brad Delp has a range in his voice that very few guys have. Powerful, pure voice, I was devastated when I heard from a friend he was gone.

Even back then we felt the same about these songs as we all do now. Listening now, these songs bring back memories forgotten both good and bad, friends that are no longer here...but I wouldn't change it for the world. These songs shaped who we are today, and those of you in your 50s, you know exactly what I mean. If we could go back I know you would drop what your doing and get on that bus. Appreciate your memories and never stop listening to this stuff... its the soundtrack to our lives. Cheers everyone.

      I used to listen to Boston on my walkman back in the 80s. And I am still listening 🎧 to that amazing music these guys gave us... I totally identify with it...

      The air rang out with Boston. Radio stations played multiple cuts on rotation. Every car with a tape deck was blasting it. My whole block got Boston concerts that summer of release, cos my windows were open & my Marantz turntable was spinning Boston with the receiver maxed to the max!!

    Summer 1976. I was 18 years old when I, with my green WV Beetle and my friends heard this immortal song for the first time. It was a fantastic night. I drove on the highway most of the night, then we slept in sleeping bags next to the Beetle. The sunrise. Then the sea. I'm 65 now. It was a moment to go from being a teenager to finding myself... old.
    Every now and then I listen to this song together with the others that were the soundtrack to my youth and the memories become crowded, school, girls, cigarettes, liquor, parties. The future. Now remain a thread of nostalgia.

      I came up with a theory that I feel could explain why music can seemingly teleport you back in time ; Songs that moved you strongly in a given time in your life become associated in your memory with virtually everything that was happening to you at that time whether you realize it or not. It is all stored there within your brain, in areas of your brain responsible for storing different types of sensory input as well as emotional input. Sound, smells, sights, emotional state, where you were in space at that time, sometimes even the politics of the time to name but a few of hundreds of things that are stored in different neural pathways and destinations within your brain. I believe that the sound of a song that once stirred you deeply somehow generates a neural pulse or removes a filter which normally separates all of those memory fragments; resulting in the immediate synthesis of all those old disparate snatches of memory gathered from different areas of your brain. This process brings all of experiences connected with the song directly into your consciousness giving the sensation of being in the past. Put another way, it is the involuntary simultaneous awareness of all of the sensory input and memories from different places in your brain that give you the feeling of actually being there, because in a sense you really ARE since you ARE your brain. And for a while your brain is aware of and experiencing nearly all of the things you were feeling when that song was popular. Speaking strictly for myself, when I begin to hear an oldie from decades gone by, I actually experience a sort of Gestalt burst that seems to convey the complete milieu of my being at that time. It is a fleeting feeling but it is very very strong and real. Music is Magic. Because it IS Magic.Throughout all of history every society has had music. In fact I'm certain music predates society because the rhythm of drums and chants a campfire began very very early at a tribal level

    Brad Delp's voice in this song is just perfect. The way he climbs with his voice to the high notes. What makes it so special is no matter how high his voice gets the intensity stays the same. The power behind each note is just as much as the one before. This song is a piece of art. There just is no better way to describe this. It's musical art at its best! When you look at Brad's face as he sings you can see he is genuinely having a good time with it. He has mentioned in interviews that he always dredded having to sing it live because it was musically very difficult for him to do, hitting those high notes and then carry on with a full show. Or vice versa, be singing the whole night and then try to hit those notes near the latter part of a show, but when they hired the female in the band she picked up the high part for him. He said he would just point if he needed the boost and she would provide it. But he said he always sang it because he knew it was a fan favorite. Some days it was just better than others. I get that. No one has a studio voice 24/7/365. At least not anyone with Brad's voice. RIP - Brad, you were definitely something special.

      I remember when they played Philly in 77. He was able to get the high notes first time around but even when he missed it, he just kept singing and smiling through the whole thing. Great memories for a 16 year old kid who drove 12 hours from Greenville SC to get there! I’m in a time machine every time I hear it.

    Brad's voice in this song simply soars. It's like a rocket leaving the planet. Just when you think it's reached the limit, he cranks it into another octave and even the angels are going "Damn, that's beautiful."

      I think its a technique musically known as a fugue. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue Listen to how Brad works with the voices of the rest of the band. These guys knew what they were doing. Bach was a genius at these able to compose 11 layers in his head.
