With the Pioneer or Kenwood deck and Jensen speakers. This is perfect driving music. I spent a lot of summer nights driving around with this tape playing. Like every other 16 yr old kid in America at that time. We had a great childhood!
Go Lex! 🎶 Go Lex! 🎶 Go Lex! 🎶 My girl loved "More Than A Feeling", "Foreplay/Longtime, and "Piece of Mind"!! Lex is officially a Boston fan! Here's what's next👇😍 "Don't Look Back" "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" "Smokin" "Hitch A Ride" "Amanda"
I feel like I may have said this before, but the different ways that you two hear music is so interesting. Brad is all about lyrics and Lex is all about instrumentals. In fact, minutes into the song, Brad said "I'm just waiting for the song to start", because to him, the lyrics are the song. Meanwhile, at the same time, Lex is on a water planet. You guys hear two completely different songs and it's fascinating.
Oh Brad. Just when you're making some progress. After 2 minutes of Foreplay you say you're just waiting for the song to start. What? You just listen to lyrics. Let yourself go and enjoy the music. Lex gets it as usual. This is a classic and the combination of the two songs is genius. You have to smile listening to Boston. Cheers!
This is one of those first rock albums where at least FOUR hit songs were released for pop chart exposure and pretty much EVERY cut was played on the FM album oriented rock radio stations. This album is on the rock Mt Rushmore of all time best sellers.
Zeppelin 4, anyone? It’s cool, I get you. This was a scary monster album for sure. Always wished I had Tom’s talent to cut a hit album from my basement.
@@ronaldelliott4373 Zeppelin Four was and will always be a masterpiece but it didn’t have five songs released off of it for the pop charts; this was one of the first that went for the jugular in releasing half the album in singles headed for the top 40.
I love Lex's enthusiasm and the look of joy and surprise on her face! Reminds me of when I first heard Boston as a kid. I was blown away by their unique sound and Brad Delp had one of the greatest voices of all time! RIP Brad!
9:24 Lex: "Oh no it's over!" Brad: "That's almost 8 minutes" Haha that tells you the difference who really got lost into the song and who didn't ;D Love you both, keep rocking!
You two are a great team. Overly analytical Brad; heart-on-her-sleeve, imaginative, party-girl Lex. You guys are the living embodiment of the old phrase, "Opposites attract". Cheers!
One of my Top 10 Albums of All Time Every single song 🎵 is fantastic! 45 years later & it's still a vibe! 🔥 Tom Scholtz is a genius & Brad Dehlp's voice is a force! I ❤ Boston!
You two are hoot to watch, especially in this one: Totally-Groovin' Chick and Stone-Faced Dude. So strange to see when it's with songs that are so familiar to me, but so damned entertaining!
She reminds me so much of my girlfriends room mate when I was about to leave DC for Germany waaay back when. I definitely met her way too late. We fit together so much better than my GF and the chemistry was super obvious.
When I was a kid my dad worked 3rd shift, so when I would wake up during the summer he’d be there winding down with his Boston records and playing along with his guitar, so these songs, and Don’t Look Back, More Than a Feeling… they all take me back to happier days when my dad was young and because of him and my mom, I really didn’t have any worries at all.
This is from the fastest selling debut album ever. Every song on it rocks. Tom Schultz created the album in his basement before he put a band together and sold it to a record label. He is an MIT graduate and built all of their equipment
"So sonically interesting" ... best description I've ever heard of Boston's music in general and this song in particular .. Lex nailed it, as always!!!
The keyboard intro by Tom Sholz is "crazy cool"... ... and then the guitars and drums kick in while Brad Delp starts to sing which just elevates the song to a whole new level of awesomeness. This truly is a CLASSIC Rock song!
Everytime I hear Brad Delp I think his amazing range, his soul, his technique. Woooo! Such a legend and one of the best vocalists in rock history. RIP Brad
Check out Rick Beato's channel. What makes this song great - Boston. He does two of them and he isolates Brad's vocals. That is where you can really appreciate his vocal range
"I'm just waiting for the song to start" Dude when the first note plays the song is on, stop thinking with hip hop, notes and melody and are more important (to other genres)
Music/Art is incredibly subjective, and should be enjoyed, or not enjoyed, however someone wants to. This is a reaction, not a video or channel about trying to change someone's perception. It's about someone listening to music suggested because it's been outside their wheelhouse and seeing how they react. You guys are telling him he should feel or listen a certain way, then that's not a reaction at all. It's OK if he doesn't like it, or doesn't "get it". Let the man react as himself and naturally, that's the point.
@@mantism.d.8363 That’s not the point, he’s always diving into the lyrics and doesn’t like instruments. It’s all fine, I get subjectiveness to music, but give us something. It’s a reaction channel and he doesn’t react.
That irritated me... He is all about lyrics and shit... He wants to be TOLD not SHOWN. Lex lives it all. She is tapped into the joy of music. He is a robot.
"This is very interesting..." Yes, it is! "It is so sonically interesting..." What else? Parting of the Red Sea and the Wild West, did I miss anything? The drummer for Boston, Brad Delp, yeah.
That "livin' just enough, just enough for the city" line that Lex was singing is from a 1973 Stevie Wonder song called "Living for the City," a great song whose melody does sound a little similar in places to this 1976 song from Boston. That hand-clapping part that Lex liked reminds me of being at huge seventies rock concerts when the audience would be clapping along. That's probably what that part was supposed to invoke.
JESUS!... Music literally exists for people like Lex... Lyrics are there to keep the rest interested... I'm used to seeing Lex in the musical trance, but when the instruments took over her hand movements...Damn. If Tom (Schulz) saw this, he'd know that all of his efforts were worth it.
There are times I literally get highly irritated with Brad for wanting to analyze everything when it is not necessary THEN Lex kicks into high gear and Brad doesn't exist anymore until he pauses and tries to break down a classic song that is way over his head. I then turn my attention back to Lex to calm down again.
Lex please keep reacting like you do. Nobody does a couch dance better then you with the arms swaying and head bobbing to the songs, and your analogies and explanations of what the songs feel like to you are awesome.
The difference between these two in their reaction to music is honestly interesting. It's as though they're not even the same species, or as though one of them was raised by wolves or something.
Lex you've got the music in you girl. You're beautiful and a true rocker. Don't let your wonderful spirit die. Much love to you both. Rock and Roll for ever.
I’m sure you’ve heard this already but you have to watch the 45 minute documentary of Tom Sholz on RUclips. He created this band, wrote all the songs, played almost all of the instruments, recorded it in his basement, engineered and mixed it himself with electronic equipment he designed and built himself. It’s pretty much unbelievable.
@jamesallen278 This record was not mixed in Toms studio. Tom's home studio was based on a 12 track Sculley tape machine and a Dan Flickinger mixer/console neither of which were designed by or made by Tom. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios. Tom, producer John Boylan and one of the engineers mixed this record on the new and then top of the line recording console at Westlake. Tom did not write all of the songs. Let Me Take You Home was written by Brad and Brad co-wrote Smokin'. Jim Masdea and Brad helped with the arrangements. Let Me Take You Home was recorded in its entirety at the Record Plant LA. As for the engineering part, Tom has never been upfront and transparent about the fact that Boylan hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to come out to Toms studio to tutor him on how to record acoustic instruments correctly and proper mic technique. Boylan then gave Tom an order to re-record all drum tracks and all acoustic instrument tracks. According to Boylan Tom's original drum tracks sounded "amateurish". Producer John Boylan's Mix Magazine interview gives a more objective, unbiased and factual account of how this record came to be. The liner notes in the Scholz 2006 remaster of the debut Boston record gives a more factual and transparent account of who played what on each of the tracks. As a result of the law suit between Barry and Tom, Tom was forced to admit in his legal documents submitted to the Court that Barry played guitar on three songs and that Fran plays bass on Foreplay. You can find these legal documents online and see for yourself. Barry introduced Tom to Brad back in 69/70 and the three of them along with Jim Masdea had been playing in bands together and making demos of what would eventually become the songs as we hear them on the record for years before this record was recorded.
@@markvanderstelt8999 You have to understand that most of the audience of this channel seems to have replaced their brain with the billboard hot 100. So they only acknowledge singles. You and I know that Smokin’ or Hitch a Ride smoke the shit out of Don’t Look Back but the lemmings don’t
@@markvanderstelt8999 Yeah, it was hard to pick lol. So I just went with songs the “normies” don’t usually pick for reactions to make my point. Although Something About You might have been a better pick than “Smokin’” since that one probably gets some reaction channel love.
Lex is all of us in the 70s. Brad is our parents. 😃
🤣🤣🤣
Most of us had to get high to have the imagination of Lex!
That comment should be pinned!
@@pyrocrew17
Like a neanderthal staring at a ferris wheel.
Comment of the year.
RIP Delp 🙏😔 breaks my heart
If everybody had Lex's joy and enthusiasm, the world would suck way less.
Yes...it would be a much better, happier place!
And if as a child at church, I had been able to act like Brad listening to Foreplay, I wouldn't have gotten grounded so much.
@@GeorgeSagen lol
And Brad's intelligence, care for the world, and grounding in common sense
@@markbender379 A far more happier place! I love the way she reacts to and locks into a vibe from a tune!
All that stuff Lex was doing...imagine 40m teenagers doing that in 1976, cause that did happen.
Boston... wow that takes me way back.
I gotta say, Brad... you're one lucky guy. Lex is super sweet & beautiful.
Yea but...Brad is a stud and a nice dude. Seems fitting.
You are 100% correct
God bless you, Brad Delp.
"WaterChurch"- Lex the Queen of Rock @brad&lex
Lex’s epic imagination can take her anywhere! I think we’re all convinced!
I would love to see her listen to Pogo
She's got that Hendrix thing - music painting vivid pictures for her, like a kind of synesthesia. Love it!
I hope Lex never changes!
The clapping on Boston's songs-unique and wonderful.
This was our goto for testing car stereo installs.
As well it should be
Ford used Steve Perry's Foolish Heart for a long time to demo their higher end sound systems
Sweet comment. To be young again eh?

I love the way Lex loves the music and goes with the flow.
Go Lex! 🎶 Go Lex! 🎶 Go Lex! 🎶

Here's what's next👇😍
"Don't Look Back"
"Let Me Take You Home Tonight"
"Smokin"
"Hitch A Ride"
"Amanda"
And "A Man I'll Never Be"!!
@@centuryrox I think Lex will "feel" the guitar on this one. My favorite Boston guitar solo.
Cool the engines
@@agustinmendieta5413 Or the guitar outro on "Hitch a Ride"! She'd love that one!

Lex gets it as usual. This is a classic and the combination of the two songs is genius. You have to smile listening to Boston. Cheers!
He should not be reviewing music. He doesn't understand. Lex does.
The beginning of this song is one of the most epic intros ever. Here I am thinking I wish that would go on for another ten minutes.
He has no understanding of what takes first to play an instrument well, then create chord progressions, melodies etc
In addition he just listens to entire sound instead of hearing the individual instruments that make up the total sound
@@kidpoker007 Stop being butthurt. This music is alien to anybody who didn't grow up with it.
For those of us who love music, this BOSTON album is a world jewel... Greetings from Argentina
Absolutely brother.
Most everyone knows and loves at least one song from this album.

Neither is Tull, Trower nor Toto. And that’s just the T’s….. as for Boston, if not them, then who? Crazy.
Lex really gets it,love watching u,u born 40 years late!!!
I feel bad for Lex since Brad is obviously not into foreplay and just wants to “get into it”. 😂✌🏻👍🏻
Foreplay is the best part.
🤣🤣🤣👍🤪
Brad might enjoy it more if was playing while Lex was getting her freak on with him.
He’s confused by instruments clearly
this dude just cannot enjoy music unless there are words. like dude this is a music reaction channel. maybe do something else. goodness
One of the all-time criminal travesties of music was the Starland Vocal Band winning the Grammy for Best New Artist (1976) over Boston.
I love Lex's enthusiasm and the look of joy and surprise on her face! Reminds me of when I first heard Boston as a kid. I was blown away by their unique sound and Brad Delp had one of the greatest voices of all time! RIP Brad!
"You'll forget about me after I've been gone"....no Brad Delp, we'll never forget you !!
Brad Delp’s voice, talent and memory is a National if not a World Treasure.
Brad, do what Lex does, close your eyes, and listen to the music!
Lex is a rocker and we love her for that❤🙏💪💯🎸🙌🤘
9:24 Lex: "Oh no it's over!"
Brad: "That's almost 8 minutes"
Haha that tells you the difference who really got lost into the song and who didn't ;D
Love you both, keep rocking!
That’s a kind way of saying “attention span”
or that it was all he could deliver was 8 minutes & its a disappointment
LMBO
had the same thought when i was watching her dance and he was stone faced lmao
Two minutes into the song:
Lex: (having a party in her head)
Brad: "..I'm just waiting for the song to start!"
LOL!
This song should be placed in a museum as a work of art
I love how for Lex every song is adventure that takes her to new places and evokes fantastic images. She's like every musician's dream listener.
She really makes me smile inside.
You two are a great team. Overly analytical Brad; heart-on-her-sleeve, imaginative, party-girl Lex. You guys are the living embodiment of the old phrase, "Opposites attract". Cheers!
I love you guys so much.
This has to be my favorite Boston song. The guy who put this together, Tom Scholz, is an engineering and musical genius. One of a kind.
Yeah, and a victim of suicide...
@@mikezak8812 No, that was the singer, Brad Delp. RIP Brad 🖤
Tom Scholz was the guitar player. He's still alive.
@@samuelgirard1407 -- Wow, I was concerned there for a minute. Glad Tom Scholz is still living. Although sad about Brad Delp.

It is like Free Bird. Both songs are about going on the road and the who/what they leave behind. Music is their priority
I love Lex! She is so goofy, funny, energetic and down right scary on 97% of her feeling that the music portrays!!
She's also gorgeous!
She should of grew up in the 70's. Fit right in!
She reminds me so much of my girlfriends room mate when I was about to leave DC for Germany waaay back when. I definitely met her way too late. We fit together so much better than my GF and the chemistry was super obvious.

@@paulkane7771 She might want to trade up, make your move!!
Brad: "I have no idea what's going on."
We know, dude. We know.
what else is new ?
A t-shirt with those words and Brad's pic would sell.
@@Randsurfer I love that idea - It would give them more publicity with the right attribution.
I sometimes think Brad is trolling us. I sincerely hope so because he seems so unhappy. Lex is and always has been great.
Its instrumental Foreplay before the vocals.
What would really blow their minds is the fact that everything that was produced was put out by two guys, Tom Scholz and Brad Delp.
Another pair of songs that should be listened to together are "Feeling That Way/Anytime" (1978), by Journey"
i concur
Led Zeppelin Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid
Good call on those two songs!
Abso-fragging-lutely!
This was, I think it is their signature song.
This has got to be one of my favorite reactions. When I heard Lex say water planet, I was like, "She's nailed it."
I LOVE WATCHING YOU GUYS ….LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE….
When I was a kid my dad worked 3rd shift, so when I would wake up during the summer he’d be there winding down with his Boston records and playing along with his guitar, so these songs, and Don’t Look Back, More Than a Feeling… they all take me back to happier days when my dad was young and because of him and my mom, I really didn’t have any worries at all.
1976...this was literally a mindblowing LP of perfection never heard before.
Let’s have Brad go to work on The Kingsmen “Louie Louie” lyrics. That’d be fun.
Or Indagada Da Vita
Its a trap! /Akbar
Robert Plant has a sacrilegious cover of Louie Louie where he sings the lyrics clearly.
@@mikepaulus4766 The Kingsmen version is a cover and they used the original lyrics. There is nothing to hear.

This whole album is a masterpiece.
When ever i have had A bad day, I you tube Brad and Lex spirit of radio, and by the time it's over i will be giggling like a school girl!

brads always spot on lex is fun and cute
You have no idea how much Boston changed the quality of music we hear today. They are legendary.
Probably the greatest debut album ever ....
Brad Delp had one of the most amazing voices in Rock! He had a signature sound & style that has never been duplicated. R.I.P.
Brad, I'm just waiting for the song to start OMG hilarious!
Lex, the song you were wondering about is "Livin' for the city" by Stevie Wonder... you should definitely respond to the LONG version.
Ray Charles also did a fantastic rendition of that tune
And, bonus: it's got GREAT lyrics for Brad! Everybody wins!
Jonny Lang does a real version of it also
Music brings us together
Lex is EXACTLY what's supposed to happen with these songs reactions. Brad doesn't even get a little stanky face or air instruments...
Lex needs to listen to this while taken a ride in a 70's Pontiac Trans Am to get the full "vib" !!!
I love it when Brad smiles when he sees how much fun Lex is having rocking out. It's sweet.
I'm glad Lex Got it
"So sonically interesting" ... best description I've ever heard of Boston's music in general and this song in particular .. Lex nailed it, as always!!!
Saw a LOT of bands back in the day. Boston was one of the best.
Lex, are you sure you weren't a 60s hippie in a previous life? You sure give some deep analytical thought to the music!
weed's still around today too.
She would fit right in
Bras looked like he was taking the journey we all took the first time we heard it in the 70’s.
This has got to be high on the list of best debut albums if all time
I bought this album in the 6th grade, 1978.
The keyboard intro by Tom Sholz is "crazy cool"...
... and then the guitars and drums kick in while Brad Delp starts to sing which just elevates the song to a whole new level of awesomeness.
This truly is a CLASSIC Rock song!
Everytime I hear Brad Delp I think his amazing range, his soul, his technique. Woooo! Such a legend and one of the best vocalists in rock history. RIP Brad

I know, right? Two minutes into Foreplay and still "waiting for the song to start" indicates that someone isn't getting it.
I almost said the same thing, then I read your comment. He doesn’t like instrumentals, maybe should stick to poetry.
One of these days a lightbulb is going to go off in Brad's head and he is going to realize that the song starts before the singing begins.

"It is so sonically interesting..."
What else? Parting of the Red Sea and the Wild West, did I miss anything?
The drummer for Boston, Brad Delp, yeah.
That "livin' just enough, just enough for the city" line that Lex was singing is from a 1973 Stevie Wonder song called "Living for the City," a great song whose melody does sound a little similar in places to this 1976 song from Boston. That hand-clapping part that Lex liked reminds me of being at huge seventies rock concerts when the audience would be clapping along. That's probably what that part was supposed to invoke.
Lex, can you imagine being transported back in time to a Boston concert and experiencing this live with thousands of rockin’ fans!?!?
JESUS!... Music literally exists for people like Lex... Lyrics are there to keep the rest interested...
I'm used to seeing Lex in the musical trance, but when the instruments took over her hand movements...Damn. If Tom (Schulz) saw this, he'd know that all of his efforts were worth it.
If you look at the cover on Boston there with the fire coming out it's an upside-down guitar and this is late 70s
Love watching lex get into the music
Lex knows how to enjoy music!!!!!....Brad always looks like he is waiting for a bus!!!
Yep.....like he's waiting for the bus to hit him!
....Lex seems very entertained by anything they listen to, which is how I take any music, any genre. Brad is just a 'killjoy' compared to her....
There are times I literally get highly irritated with Brad for wanting to analyze everything when it is not necessary THEN Lex kicks into high gear and Brad doesn't exist anymore until he pauses and tries to break down a classic song that is way over his head. I then turn my attention back to Lex to calm down again.
I absolutely enjoy Lex's musical interpretation of the songs. Quite unusual and creative.
I will forever think of this song as a outer space water planet church adventure. Thank you y’all got a new subscriber
These are my feelings exactly.😁

One of the biggest debut albums ever!
“Water church” Lex is insane! ( in the best possible way….).
I was fortunate enough to see Boston live before the incredible Brad Delp passed away. Amazing live band
I think the song you were humming Lex was Stevie Wonder - "Living For The City"
17,000,000+ albums sold…! This is straight up one of the greatest, most complete debut albums in music history… It is virtually a perfect creation.
Yes
One dude in his basement did all this music, then Brad Delp put the vocal icing on the Tom Sholz cake.
Omg Lex you absolutely make my day❤
You are my little Rocker❤

Sadly he commited suicide

@jamesallen278 This record was not mixed in Toms studio. Tom's home studio was based on a 12 track Sculley tape machine and a Dan Flickinger mixer/console neither of which were designed by or made by Tom. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios.

@@markvanderstelt8999 Yeah, it was hard to pick lol. So I just went with songs the “normies” don’t usually pick for reactions to make my point. Although Something About You might have been a better pick than “Smokin’” since that one probably gets some reaction channel love.
It is so funny watching her reaction. Boston’s music really did transport you elsewhere.
Friggin water planet...I love it! This release was/is maybe the best rock debut of all time. Every song a banger. Try Hitch A Ride next por favor!
Watching her react on that masterpiece is a seratonin overdose.
