Living in the time when this album came out.. living it when it happened... I can’t even explain how wonderfully magical it truly was. 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 it will never be out of date or not relevant to me.
I've always loved Boston and those two long winded front men..talk about holding a note🙄 Sadly one of them is gone, but whenever I want to relieve my teenage years..like now; I play their hits.
This soi meant a lot to me growing up and not wanting to go home to my stepdad house where I grew up at only wanting to be free from his house I felt free when I wasn't there
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.
Brad Delp a voice that can never be duplicated. He hits notes in this song that is unbelievable and just when you think he can’t go any higher, he takes it to the moon. RIP Brad
I totally agree on that... I approve this message... 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... I share a lot of their music on my Facebook page just to show people in the present time what real music sounds like. Boston for ever in our hearts...
Best male vocals Best opening guitar riff Best Base guitar line Best overall threading of vocals and guitars I've heard in 40 years. Best mustache Delp and the band are timeless Gods. Just G.D. incredible.
*Bass guitar. Also fun fact: Mary Ann was the name of his cousin, the girl who used to babysit him when he was little. This song is an ode to his "first love."
I think I Have to agree with your Assesment I Played in bands for Years and never heard anyone Have the vocal Range And Rock Voice In History and I saw Boston 4TIMES Inside and outside He always sounded exactly the same. Best Rock voice ever In My opinion!!!!!! R.I.P. Brad
AS YOU MAY KNOW, that album shattered records, of even the Beatles for sales of any album released. it blew the world away, and it took a while for them to get a record contract , failed at first. when have you ever heard of THIS? MANY TIMES!!
I 100% agree. He had just an amazing vocal range and never got near enough credit for his singing ability. I can't imagine anyone else being the lead singer for BOSTON. He could go very soft and then blast out pure power in the next verse with ease. Just an incredible vocal talent ! May he R.I.P.
Started listening in 1976 at the age of 17. 2024 and I am still listening to Boston. It defined our generation. Rest in Peace Brad and thank you for those vocals. Unreal is the word I used after hearing this song so long ago. Still react the same way. Best of the best. Thanks to all those musicians who put this together. And special thanks to Tom without his creative and tenacity this would never be heard by millions upon millions of people.
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.
I know and have heard 3/4 of those bands. And I love all of em! All of em are part of my favourites list, right up there with artists like queen, the beatles and Billy Joel!

I'm so happy I was born into this music..and my mom is still listening to this..I will never let go of my passion for this song and hundreds more like it..and for a man to hit that note..love it n always will..
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.
I am 59 yrs. old, and a GREAT talent was lost with Brad Delp, he is not replaceable, in my opinion, feeling grateful for the time he shared his talent with the world!
Did he committe suicide by gun shot? I read he had depression really bad😥, he is irreplaceable, no one can come close to his vocal talent, I wish I could have seen them live!!! ❤️Boston, who else does?
This song does exactly what a song is supposed to do and that’s to elicit a feeling, emotion or a memory and that’s why it’s a perfect song. It’s timeless !!!
I honestly believe that nothing will EVER come close to a track like this. For sounding like it came from outer space, it blows my mind that it was recorded in a small basement in 1976. A timeless song that will truly remain as one of the greatest records of all time. 1976!...and forever Edit: It's important to listen to this song cranked on full volume through a not overly bass heavy/boomy speaker system (yeah, fuck the neighbours) - you really get a proper feel for the tune and hear all the brilliant nuances of Tom Scholz's playing and mastery production
@@FabDino Rush were still great amateurs when this was released. Tho they did eclipse Boston in the 80's because Boston fell off the map. Early Rush is epic tho.
I was working at a gas station, I was 17 in 1976, when this album came out. From the first second you heard it, you were completely hooked, the guitars sounded so ferocious for am radio, the thing was mixed so great, the tunes so perfectly crafted. They were truly instantly famous because the music was so strong.
That was when FM started coming on strong, though there were still quite a few AMs playing Top 40 (now called CHR). I was 13 in '76, so you and I are now practically the same age. This song (as did most) sounded much better on FM than AM.
@@gordonmodel94jr.39 I graduated in '81. In the summer of '78, I gravitated from pop to country. For the past few decades, for me, it's been oldies (both pop and country).
Fuck me. 68 now. Bought this album the day it was released and it didn’t leave the turntable for 2 months. It literally got my roommate and I evicted from our first apartment. But the parties we had while blasting this thru the Bose 901s made it all worth it. 🥃
40 years later, still one of the most incredible rock songs ever made. Lead singers voice is truly haunting. No one will EVER be able to hit those notes in tune like him. Stunning.
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.
@@patbaker2100 Boston was one of the few bands to do double tracking in their music which I would bet is what happened with Brad's voice blending in. I'm also pretty sure made it difficult to reproduce live.
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.
I am almost 70 years old, and the song still makes the hair on my arms and neck stand on edge, and my eyes tear up when Maryanne slips away! This song brought me out of a two year long sadness when my "Maryanne" slipped away!
This song gives me the chills, it’s put together so tight in tune with the chords of the guitar. Brads voice is extraordinary, the guitar licks kick ass!
im sorry for your loss, i hope you're having a nice day. your dad and you sure had good music tastes, and he may be gone, but he'll forever be on our hearts. (i hope you believe the same so..)
It is hard to communicate just how tremendously BOSTON rocked the world of music when they blew onto the scene. Just imagine the world's ears hearing Brad's voice and all the layered guitars playing in harmony. The songs were fresh. hell, they were explosively, sonically galactic! 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!! BOSTON was everything!!
A few people that I've met and talked to about this song something about it takes you and you don't ever forget it and when you hear it again it takes you and it always does.
@@MA-lm1ql Agree absolutely - and each musician seems so utterly engaged and so very capable. It is a pleasure to watch again and again without tiring. It is a piece of magic.
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
Outstanding singing. Out of this world guitar playing. Wonderful arrangement. Most of all living through the times when this music was around was a privilege 👌 x
I was a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s, man I'm telling you it was the best time to be that age. High school , girls, cars and rock concerts.and real friends.....we had it all. 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 am 63 and would go back in a second! I was 18 years old when the Boston Album came out, and to this day there is nothing like it. Such a great time to be alive! 😊
You are right on point my brother.Im 51 and was part of it all.Everyone was so in touch with each other.It was o much more than a feeling!! It was a vibe ,that is priceless.Great insight my man,loved it!! Can I get a seat in the front of that bus please?
This song came out in 1976, when I was 12 years old. I used to listen to it on a small AM/FM radio. It's now March of 2023, 47 years later, and I haven't tired of listening to it. It is absolutely beautiful and flawless, in my opinion. Brad Delp was one of the greatest male vocalists in Rock history. I didn't learn until decades after I first heard them that Delp sang all the vocal parts on their first album. What an amazing talent, and that first album is perfect. Long live Boston.
I just turned 60 last month and this is the music I grew up listening to in the 70's and I still do today in 2024 and on into 2025 as well Thank You for the greatest music from the 70's and 80's as well as the 60's too.🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶
I have been cranking this song for almost 45 years. It is still as powerful as the first day I heard it. Long live Rock n Roll and Boston! RIP Brad. We miss you.
Brad Delp and Tom Scholz were one of the best singer/lead guitarist duos. Horribly underrated considering that Delp had one of the best voices in rock. RIP
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
I’m 67 and it doesn’t matter your age in my opinion, songs like this are like an exceptional wine. They are iconic, beautiful and get better with age. 👏😁🇦🇺
I'm 26 and I enjoy music from the 70's and 80's more than anything else. My stepdad even told me I have the music taste of an old fart. I don't care though. Songs like these have a soul and I wil always enjoy them!
Agreed. Same thing with movies, with different date ranges. Certainly, the world of "franchised" movies is really lacking. Never be hesitant to be out of step with the masses, since the masses are not very happy and perhaps do not put their values in the best places.
It doesn't matter how many times you've heard it or how much time passes between each time you hear it - this song gives you goosebumps and moves you, wherever you are and whatever you're doing. The absolute definition of timeless.
Amen to that....! Gives ya chills...still...listening to him hit those notes. Somebody did a great job of synching the studio track over top of this video. One of the best like that I've ever seen. Must take some work
@@joehall5921 He is not saying that Delp is underrated. They have never been inducted into The Hall of Fame. Delp had an incredible voice, but never got proper recognition by the powers to be. Many are puzzled why this great band hasn’t been inducted into the hall of fame.
David Nissim: *"RIP Brad Delp. One of rock's greatest & most underrated voices."* Joe Hall: *"I don't have a clue how you could call Brad Delp underrated."* @@truthreignsfacts4997: *"He is not saying that Delp is underrated."* Actually, that's exactly what he said.
These Boston tunes still ring true today nearly 50 years on from their creation and release. The release of Boston's debut album 'Boston' in AUG 1976 coincided with my freshman year in college. As such a formative time in my life the entire 'Boston' album remains forever indelible in my heart & soul. RIP Brad Delp!
...same for me....lived in a big dorm complex...seems like this song could be heard 24/7...being cranked out at top volume from various dorm rooms. Note: windows were open as dorms were not air-conditioned in "olden times"
@@pappydc12 This song debuted in late '76. I was in 8th grade then. I'm sure what you said about it being heard 24/7 isn't hyperbole. Now it's hip-hop. I think if kids today listened to "our" music, they'd have a collective nervous breakdown.
I, too, started as a college freshman, late August of '76. Aimed my speakers out of my third floor dorm room window and cranked up Boston, Fleetwood Mac, or the Doobie Brothers. Great times out on the lawn below...!
WOW!! I like a ton of music.....but I just can’t disagree with either of the two previous comments!! 🤔 Happy Thanksgiving 2019 my friends!! Be safe-everyone!! 🇺🇸Grandpa🇺🇸
I'm 67 yrs old, heard Boston for the 1st time walking down a dusty street in a place called Los Angeles in southern Chile in 1976 as a missionary for the LDS church and thought man, what great music. Been married for 45 yrs but every time I hear this song and particularly the line "and dream of a girl I used to know" takes me back almost 50 yrs and the memory of the cutest, nicest, sweetest girl I ever knew and wished I had danced with her when she asked me too, she was with another guy and he wasn't treating her very well but I didn't want to cause any trouble, all I can say is if a girl asks you to dance even if she is with someone else, do it or you'll be regretting it for a long, long time.

@@worldtraveller1900hola aquí un buen argentino que habla en español.Tengo 27 años y me gusta la música de Boston y el buen género rock y Heavy Metal y sus respectivos subgéneros.
Look I lived in the Boston area and remember that genius Tom he transformed music soo far advance.we all were held in AWE BOSTON WAS AN AWESOME BAND WAY BACK WHEN . THANK YOU TOM FOR ALL THOSE GOOD TIMES GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ❤️
One thing I love about this is, when he’s singing the verse before the chorus and holds the “awaaay” it’s almost as if the guitar is singing the next slightly higher note and it heavenly!
I've heard this music on the radio but didn't know a thing about who sang it or what was it, I just knew it was amazing. I finally found it, and boy oh boy, it blew me away! What a talent! These guys are amazing!!!
RIP Brad Delp 1951-2007 more than a musician and it was more than a feeling to have you on earth words cannot describe and im sure lots of people world wide did miss you then and even now too
Being a long haired dude in the early 80s who discovered the freedom of rock and roll, the power of guitars and the rush of riding a motorcycle....How I miss my youth
So sad it all had to end. Why did it end? It was like I woke up one morning and poof..gone. It was the favorite time of my life. I'm in what they call "the Golden Years" or in retirement now and it was supposed to be good(?). I'd go back to 70's in a nanosecond
@@deb4522I’m 58 this year and I’d go back too. No damned computers ruling our lives, stupid social media. Most people were decent, polite and sincere. Just a much simpler time. God I miss that world.
I told my teenage son to listen to this song with a good pair of headphones. We heard it on the radio in the car, but I wanted him to REALLY listen. A few days later he said “Dad, I did what you said…. It gave me chills.” 😁
This is one of the 5 best Rock and Roll songs of all-time(IMO). Great lead vocals, awesome guitar work- electric and acoustic, solid backbeat drums, great chorus.....it checks all the boxes. what say you?!
My favorite of all time. I was just a child when this came out. Not even 10 y.o. but it has always spoken to me deeply. Its true , it is more than a feeling.
Boston will always have a special place in my heart. High school days with my friends who loved the music and concerts. We all related and felt like we belonged. We all had great dreams of our future. There were no guns in schools. Fists fights and words solved just about any disagreement, or to feel better we played Boston loud. I wish my grandchildren could experience that time and have the same hope of future I had. It wasn't perfect all the time but overall we were happy. Thank you Boston for the memories.
"More Than A Feeling" is one of the most perfectly crafted songs ever recorded. It is beautiful, complex, uplifting, and unique.
It is absolutely my favorite song ever!!! ♥♥♥
Living in the time when this album came out.. living it when it happened... I can’t even explain how wonderfully magical it truly was.

@@caldwell9-0 yes they did. Feels like team spirit
I agree, listen to it everyday
I have to comment because it's my favorite song ever even though I seldom pick favorites I'm compelled to with this.
The effortless chord change into the chorus may be the greatest musical arrangement I've ever heard.
Is that change at 2:40 (for an example)? "I gots to know" (using another 70s reference).
The vocal range that Brad Delp had is unbelievable. One of the best voices in rock. RIP
I 100% agree. He had just an amazing vocal range and never got near enough credit for his singing ability. I can't imagine anyone else being the lead singer for BOSTON. He could go very soft and then blast out pure power in the next verse with ease. Just an incredible vocal talent ! May he R.I.P.

Ever never
That album got me through Ha Skrewell!

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."
Well said.
MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME
Brad's voice is EPIC!!!!
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.
And he never loses power through it all!
I am 59 yrs. old, and a GREAT talent was lost with Brad Delp, he is not replaceable, in my opinion, feeling grateful for the time he shared his talent with the world!
Agree Brad's octave range was out of this world 🎤🎸
Did he committe suicide by gun shot? I read he had depression really bad😥, he is irreplaceable, no one can come close to his vocal talent, I wish I could have seen them live!!! ❤️Boston, who else does?
@@Wendy-bj3yt I heard he put a gas grill in his bathroom and was overcome with carbon monoxide....sad
Best singer for range , feeling , Tom Scholtz treated him poorly
This song does exactly what a song is supposed to do and that’s to elicit a feeling, emotion or a memory and that’s why it’s a perfect song. It’s timeless !!!
Yes, I feel this so deeply in my gut.
Amen brother.
It’s perfect because it does the bear minimum a song can do? You need to listen to more music dude
@@internaut9820 Before replying you may want to check your spelling. Unless the song is about a “bear” that I don’t know about…Lol
Elicit more than a feeling*
Extremely beautiful.... Soothing... Mesmerizing... Hypnotic... So nice and nostalgic.
I honestly believe that nothing will EVER come close to a track like this. For sounding like it came from outer space, it blows my mind that it was recorded in a small basement in 1976. A timeless song that will truly remain as one of the greatest records of all time. 1976!...and forever
Edit:
It's important to listen to this song cranked on full volume through a not overly bass heavy/boomy speaker system (yeah, fuck the neighbours) - you really get a proper feel for the tune and hear all the brilliant nuances of Tom Scholz's playing and mastery production
Try 2112 rush
@@FabDino fuxk rush...this is rock!!!!
Amen to that!! Brad Delp was so perfect!
@@FabDino Rush were still great amateurs when this was released. Tho they did eclipse Boston in the 80's because Boston fell off the map. Early Rush is epic tho.
@@heinzdog9 nah 70s raw rush is the best, how can u say the band who created hemispheres were amateurs
Wish I had a dollar for every time I've listened to this song! I'm 62 and still loving it
Me too, Id be a zillionaire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just turned 60 and this song takes me back to a time when everything seemed possible.

62 here and still love Brad’s voice. RIP Brad.
Me too
I was working at a gas station, I was 17 in 1976, when this album came out. From the first second you heard it, you were completely hooked, the guitars sounded so ferocious for am radio, the thing was mixed so great, the tunes so perfectly crafted. They were truly instantly famous because the music was so strong.
People always ask what is your "favourite" song of All time. There are so many but there is no question. Boston. More than a feeling. This has it all.
That was when FM started coming on strong, though there were still quite a few AMs playing Top 40 (now called CHR). I was 13 in '76, so you and I are now practically the same age. This song (as did most) sounded much better on FM than AM.
@@TheBrooklynbodine agreed, in Chicago Triad radio was the best FM, i discovered so many bands listening to Saul the ultra mellow dj
I graduated in '77 also. Music was the best ever back then!
@@gordonmodel94jr.39 I graduated in '81. In the summer of '78, I gravitated from pop to country. For the past few decades, for me, it's been oldies (both pop and country).
Fuck me. 68 now. Bought this album the day it was released and it didn’t leave the turntable for 2 months. It literally got my roommate and I evicted from our first apartment. But the parties we had while blasting this thru the Bose 901s made it all worth it. 🥃
Stellar 😊
Happy birthday, Brad! He would have been 70 years old today. Keep rockin’ on, everyone!! 🎸
What kind of music do you think Brad turns on to start his day?
My type of music.stay safe.
@@carultch - I’m sure he probably turned on The Beatles. I start my day with Boston and ELO
So much quality, so much talent, so much... hair.
xD
German Vasquez but enough about me
xD !!!
German Vasquez That drummer.... Can that hair even all be real?
FOR YOU
40 years later, still one of the most incredible rock songs ever made. Lead singers voice is truly haunting. No one will EVER be able to hit those notes in tune like him. Stunning.
Spirit Walkers his live version of this is not particularly good. Doesn't try to hit the notes
So true, I have to sing an octave lower (not like I'm a pro though)
What about kurt?
Pat Benatar can and Geoff Tate of Queensryche at his peak could.
Not to take away from it but he’s some singers out there can. But it’s a true testament to how good they are If they can though 😉
One of the best voices ever.
The best for me ❤it
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'm amazed at how his voice just blends together with the guitar on those high notes.
@@patbaker2100 Boston was one of the few bands to do double tracking in their music which I would bet is what happened with Brad's voice blending in. I'm also pretty sure made it difficult to reproduce live.
Listened to this when it came out, and it sounds just as good now. Has not dated at all.
I just googled greatest male singers of all time and visited up to ten sites. Brad Delps name was nowhere to be found. That is truly shocking.
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.
I am almost 70 years old, and the song still makes the hair on my arms and neck stand on edge, and my eyes tear up when Maryanne slips away! This song brought me out of a two year long sadness when my "Maryanne" slipped away!
I feel somewhat privileged to have witnessed and enjoyed this music growing up.
Yess.
some of us enjoy this growing up right now 😅
which concert did you go to? or just listen to them?
Lucky from a gen z
Amen, alive and kicking as it was happening
RIP Brad. What an excellent singer. I love this song. It brings back a lot of memories. I really wish Brad was still here. He made the band!
Brads vocal capabilities were a gift from the almighty himself. RIP.
This song gives me the chills, it’s put together so tight in tune with the chords of the guitar. Brads voice is extraordinary, the guitar licks kick ass!
Me too
This song gives me chills too.. awesome song..
Me too. Every time.
Me too, you know what they say. When music gives you the chills you actually feel it on an emotional level
Man Boston had one of the very best lead singers of all time excellent band
Real music the way it's meant to be!❤
Brad Delp was second to no one! He could hit notes not humanly possible! RIP and thank you for the awesome songs and rifts!!!
@@mattdierks3841 And all this time I thought Brad Delp was human. SIGH 😞 , A tremendous letdown!
Yup! He was an amazing man! That voice! He could play guitar and tambourine too! What a talent!
This was the song My Dad told us to play for him on his funeral... And so I listen to this in his Honor everytime I play this...
RIP DADDY
Awesome...your Dad heard it played for him....love this song forever...........................................
im sorry for your loss, i hope you're having a nice day.
your dad and you sure had good music tastes, and he may be gone, but he'll forever be on our hearts.
(i hope you believe the same so..)
Your dad had great taste! Bless him.
Your dad had excellent taste in good music!! Rest in Peace 🙏🏼I told my daughters that same thing when I played Tracienda at my funeral!
God bless you and your daddy! We'll rock 'till the end and farther!!!!
This song still gives me goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach. Beautiful rocking song.
It is hard to communicate just how tremendously BOSTON rocked the world of music when they blew onto the scene. Just imagine the world's ears hearing Brad's voice and all the layered guitars playing in harmony. The songs were fresh. hell, they were explosively, sonically galactic!
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!!
BOSTON was everything!!
Indeed, Zachary. But what IS it that does exactly the same to me as it does to you?!? So simple, do direct like a music Exocet...Best, R.
A few people that I've met and talked to about this song something about it takes you and you don't ever forget it and when you hear it again it takes you and it always does.
@@MA-lm1ql Agree absolutely - and each musician seems so utterly engaged and so very capable. It is a pleasure to watch again and again without tiring. It is a piece of magic.
2008 년생도 이노래를 좋아합니다 XD
Oh to go back to the 70's, what a pure joy that would be....
I wish i could go to a Boston concert. I grew up to my grandparents listening to them and it just amaze me the talent is amazing. Brad Delp was my fave. He’s got the most beautiful pristine tone without even trying.
The way Tom's guitar blends into Brad's voice can carries the notes so you don't know where Brad stops and Tom takes over is just magic.
they were a team in a band.
Well said! I always thought the ending was cool because of that.
Graduated HS in 1976. This song was out that summer. Started dating the girl that I’ve been married to for forty four years next month. Good memories.
Happy 45th Anniversary
Happy 45th broski…Linda late probably
So awesome!
I was just out of the army and a freshman in college. I love Boston.
This song and "Foreplay/Longtime" was extremely popular my senior year in 1977! I adore Boston!
This is art. I can never get bored of this song.
Hi I Recommend an indie Song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Outstanding singing.
Out of this world guitar playing.
Wonderful arrangement.
Most of all living through the times when this music was around was a privilege 👌 x
One of the greatest voices in rock history.. R.I.P Brad Delp..
I agree. what a talent!
Rhythmista is
Just today, original drummer Sib Hashian died suddenly onstage. RIP.
RIP .....
I was a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s, man I'm telling you it was the best time to be that age. High school , girls, cars and rock concerts.and real friends.....we had it all. 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.
You are so right!
Where is the bus stop Brother. I'm 55 and ready to go.
When's that bus coming? We sure did have the best time for music especially.
I am 63 and would go back in a second! I was 18 years old when the Boston Album came out, and to this day there is nothing like it. Such a great time to be alive! 😊
You are right on point my brother.Im 51 and was part of it all.Everyone was so in touch with each other.It was o much more than a feeling!! It was a vibe ,that is priceless.Great insight my man,loved it!! Can I get a seat in the front of that bus please?
This song came out in 1976, when I was 12 years old. I used to listen to it on a small AM/FM radio. It's now March of 2023, 47 years later, and I haven't tired of listening to it. It is absolutely beautiful and flawless, in my opinion. Brad Delp was one of the greatest male vocalists in Rock history. I didn't learn until decades after I first heard them that Delp sang all the vocal parts on their first album. What an amazing talent, and that first album is perfect. Long live Boston.
I was 16 and learning to drive. Long live Boston is right.
I just turned 60 last month and this is the music I grew up listening to in the 70's
and I still do today in 2024 and on into 2025 as well Thank You for the greatest

God we had good bands growing up. Todays generation...needs to hear this.
I would think if this was re-released now it would smash all the songs on the charts.
lifetime acheivement for you. grammy.@@crissouza167
One of the greatest all-time rock songs. Thank you, BOSTON!
I have been cranking this song for almost 45 years. It is still as powerful as the first day I heard it. Long live Rock n Roll and Boston! RIP Brad. We miss you.
After then Sun eats the earth, this is one of the songs that will be echoing through time and space.
Well Said! You are welcome Universe from Planet Earth!!
Brad Delp and Tom Scholz were one of the best singer/lead guitarist duos. Horribly underrated considering that Delp had one of the best voices in rock. RIP
Mr. Delp's voice still sends chills!
Timeless. Isn't it amazing how music can take you to anytime in your life?
Agree
It's what you call soul
Así es ,
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
@@Smedley1947 yes
I’m 67 and it doesn’t matter your age in my opinion, songs like this are like an exceptional wine. They are iconic, beautiful and get better with age. 👏😁🇦🇺
This whole record is amazing
This was my soccer team's theme song. W

@Mr. Anthrope A little grasshopper eh.
You ain't kidding I 💕 the 60s-70s Best dam music ever really
Imagine seeing, hearing this in a US.Stadium, at Huge Volume.... Freakg Awesome tune !! ❤
I'm 26 and I enjoy music from the 70's and 80's more than anything else. My stepdad even told me I have the music taste of an old fart. I don't care though. Songs like these have a soul and I wil always enjoy them!
P they have such good Harmony. Beautiful tune😊
Agreed. Same thing with movies, with different date ranges. Certainly, the world of "franchised" movies is really lacking. Never be hesitant to be out of step with the masses, since the masses are not very happy and perhaps do not put their values in the best places.
I’m 18 and I agree. Today’s music ain’t got the same soul.
This song never gets old.
It doesn't matter how many times you've heard it or how much time passes between each time you hear it - this song gives you goosebumps and moves you, wherever you are and whatever you're doing. The absolute definition of timeless.
This is literally what I do everyday. I turn on some music to start my day.
One of the greatest lines and guitar riffs of all time....."I closed my eyes and I slipped away"
One of the best rock songs ever. Timeless.
hands down

Very true,and the rest that should be there.
👍👍👏👏👍👍
They are too busy inducting rappers and hip hoppers who don’t belong there.
Correction. The ARE awesome...
Brad did all vocals on the first 3 albums I think, pretty sure. He deserves a star in the sky named in his honor 😇
RIP Brad Delp. One of rock’s greatest and most underrated voices.
Amen to that....! Gives ya chills...still...listening to him hit those notes.
Somebody did a great job of synching the studio track over top of this video. One of the best like that I've ever seen.
Must take some work
I don't have a clue how you could call Brad Delp underrated. Is widely considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
#LEGEND
@@joehall5921 He is not saying that Delp is underrated. They have never been inducted into The Hall of Fame. Delp had an incredible voice, but never got proper recognition by the powers to be. Many are puzzled why this great band hasn’t been inducted into the hall of fame.

These Boston tunes still ring true today nearly 50 years on from their creation and release. The release of Boston's debut album 'Boston' in AUG 1976 coincided with my freshman year in college. As such a formative time in my life the entire 'Boston' album remains forever indelible in my heart & soul. RIP Brad Delp!
...same for me....lived in a big dorm complex...seems like this song could be heard 24/7...being cranked out at top volume from various dorm rooms. Note: windows were open as dorms were not air-conditioned in "olden times"
@@pappydc12 This song debuted in late '76. I was in 8th grade then. I'm sure what you said about it being heard 24/7 isn't hyperbole. Now it's hip-hop. I think if kids today listened to "our" music, they'd have a collective nervous breakdown.
I, too, started as a college freshman, late August of '76. Aimed my speakers out of my third floor dorm room window and cranked up Boston, Fleetwood Mac, or the Doobie Brothers. Great times out on the lawn below...!
This is literally the greatest song ever written.
Carrie Taylor Literally, the Greatest album. The memories are astounding.
WOW!! I like a ton of music.....but I just can’t disagree with either of the two previous comments!! 🤔

SUPER! ICH BIN 75, aber dieser Song katapultiert mich zurück in meine JUGEND!
I'm 67 yrs old, heard Boston for the 1st time walking down a dusty street in a place called Los Angeles in southern Chile in 1976 as a missionary for the LDS church and thought man, what great music. Been married for 45 yrs but every time I hear this song and particularly the line "and dream of a girl I used to know" takes me back almost 50 yrs and the memory of the cutest, nicest, sweetest girl I ever knew and wished I had danced with her when she asked me too, she was with another guy and he wasn't treating her very well but I didn't want to cause any trouble, all I can say is if a girl asks you to dance even if she is with someone else, do it or you'll be regretting it for a long, long time.
Probably better you didn't dance with her. Wouldn't regret a thing mate. You could have walked into a minefield.
They all feel as if they are in control. What a joke. 1 wrong move,,,,and the computer says "your done"
The song is an eternal masterpiece. The riff, vocal and the soaring rock spirit.

More than a singer... a Legend!... R.I.P. Brad.
One thing I love about this is, when he’s singing the verse before the chorus and holds the “awaaay” it’s almost as if the guitar is singing the next slightly higher note and it heavenly!
The vocal got mixed into the guitar note so it sounds seamless. You're not imagining it. Tom is a genius
See Rick Beato's "What makes this song great?" for a deonstruction of this song and it's genius
Saw these Guy's in 1976 in Hollywood Florida. I was 16.. Best Time of My Life.. Boston Never gets Old!!😎
Awesome 👍
I envy you.

I told my teenage son to listen to this song with a good pair of headphones. We heard it on the radio in the car, but I wanted him to REALLY listen. A few days later he said “Dad, I did what you said…. It gave me chills.” 😁
You are a great dad... that's a lucky kid...
🤘
Nice
You forgot the part about junior asking for money.
So if we don't get chills that means our headphones is crap?
This is one of the 5 best Rock and Roll songs of all-time(IMO). Great lead vocals, awesome guitar work- electric and acoustic, solid backbeat drums, great chorus.....it checks all the boxes. what say you?!
And the bass line!!!! Don't for get the bass line.
My favorite of all time. I was just a child when this came out. Not even 10 y.o. but it has always spoken to me deeply. Its true , it is more than a feeling.
Gives me goosebumps as soon as I hear the intro. One of the best songs ever 😊
I would have to agree i wasnt born yet when this came out but i grew up listening to these guys
Agree. Bridge leads. You missed one thing. Average looking blokes doing more than excellent things.
This is a timeless masterpiece that I never tire of.
About as close to perfect as any rock song can be
Well, he took his time writing it, so yes, perfect.
This song should be in some sort of U.S. Honor place.
Yep. I don't care what anyone has to say about the way Tom did things, you can't argue with the result.
His voice and range were incredible ❤
Boston will always have a special place in my heart. High school days with my friends who loved the music and concerts. We all related and felt like we belonged. We all had great dreams of our future. There were no guns in schools. Fists fights and words solved just about any disagreement, or to feel better we played Boston loud. I wish my grandchildren could experience that time and have the same hope of future I had. It wasn't perfect all the time but overall we were happy. Thank you Boston for the memories.
❤🤘🏻❤
When muisic....was real music...timeless

No way! That is criminal! 😮
That is why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is meaningless.

What?
Well they have to make room for people who are not worthy, like Rappers. but hey Maybe one day they will wake up and put Boston in there!
