I'm 63 yes old, had a heart attack last Monday. And had 2 stints put into my ❤. Was released from hosp last Thursday and readmitted last Friday. Went into ❤ failure Monday morning. To make a long story short, when I was feeling close to the end, I pulled up this song and played it as loud as I could because I was ready to head for the other side. I could vision myself swiftly moving through the clouds towards my final destination on the purest of sunlight beyond belief. My daughter has strict orders to play this song at my funeral and for nobody to cry for me. But be happy for me that I'm on my way home. JAMMIN!!! BOSTON ROCKS

the entire solo, its never on any "best 100 solo lists" yet maybe the best solo ever . . Tom was ON FIRE back then, nobody transitions keys with as much movement as Tom Scholz . . phenomenal song and solo, the 12 string work is amazing.. all performed by Tom, he is right up there with Rik Emmet, Leo Kottke and Roger Mcguinn on the 12 string guitar, oh and the Winters brothers... yes sir, you just heard it.. AMAZING

The problem with Boston is their debut album is one of the greatest debut albums of all time. I mean you can only go down when you're on top of Mt. Everest. Now if the order of their album releases had been the 2nd album first, followed by Third Stage, and then capped off with their 1st album, I think their legacy would be much higher.

I was working in a record store and got tickets to go see Black Sabbath and was told that a new group called Boston was headlining. We had 5 copies of the album in the store so I took one home to check them out. I liked what I heard but I was looking forward to Sabbath that I didn't pay that much attention. Boston hit the stage and sounded live like they did in the album. They played for 45 minutes and nobody wanted them to leave. I forgot about Sabbath. The next day I told my manager to order about 200 copies of this album. We sold them all out in 2 days. When you then find out that some MIT engineer did the sound, produced the album, played all the instruments, invented new devices to get that sound, continued to work his day job and was lucky to get Delp for the vocals. You can't help but get chills and stand in awe of the great Tom Schulz.

There are VERY VERY few albums where each and every song would be enough to buy the whole album. There are artists, even successful ones, who never achieve that feat in an entire career (I'm not sure I could name even 10 from my lifetime). Boston did it twice with Boston and Don't Look Back! Whether you listen with headphones and privately soak in the incredible sounds or share with the far corners of your city at ground-shaking volumes, Boston's music is the pinnacle of finely crafted melodies and counter-melodies from the guitar rock era. I have listened to their music for 40 years and I don't think anyone will ever match them - ever!

Let's face it...you're on a YT video pertaining solely to Boston (i.e. Scholz). My comment was essentially 'fan driven', rather to be taken literally. I have idolized Scholz since I was a teenager (I'm heading toward 50 years old). I've actually had the privelige to meet Scholz personally one to one some years ago and have been inspired during my life by Scholz by a vegetarian lifestyle, philanthropy, his music, electronics, ethical animal/human practices, playing/recording style/techniques and have spent 30 years collecting the Rockman line of processors/amps, which all reinforces my inspiration and love for Scholz and everything he's contributed to this world, both musically and otherwise. This is the sort of comment any fan would likely make....choose the artist. I realize Scholz isn't one of the best players of all time, and as you've said, no offense to him. He is one hell of an amazing player and yes, I realize he's classically trained on piano and I know more bio on Scholz than most people would. There are mind blowing players out there of all kinds and even 7 year-olds are ripping it up beyond belief. All in all, my comment is fan and inspiration driven. A Hendrix fan would claim Hendrix was the best. A Bach fan would claim Bach was the best. A Jeff Beck fan would claim Beck was the best. And so on. You are solely on a Boston video, therefore, comments like mine are always expected on any video of a specific performer of that group. UPDATE: It now appears that JJ removed his snarky comment to me altogether, the moment I followed up with my explanation above. 🙄

This song is the best song on the album for me. I remember being at Padre Island and my husband and I were just a couple years into our marriage (probably 87 or 88) we were so young. We rented a little VRBO …. We actually rented it twice over the years. Anyway we could look out the window and walk across the street and the beach was right there. It’s not that way anymore. Anyway we were at the beach with our boombox that played cassette tapes and we played Boston all day long .That day this beautiful Irish setter dog came up to us and he stayed with us for the rest of the afternoon. We have pictures of me in the water with him. We wanted to take him home with us, but when our day ended, he went on his way. Every time I hear this song I think of that day. ❤️

They were awesome Brad Delp never seen or heard anything like him.They played all their tunes and said goodbye.The Detroit fans were having none of that...The house lights came on and we refused to leave.Brad came out and said they played everything...We refused to go..Being the great guys they were Boston played three songs all ready played again...never forget it..Detroit loved Boston.

Man, this song takes me back to simpler times-when the only thing that mattered was cruising down back roads with the windows down, feeling the wind in my hair. Boston has this way of making you feel free, like you're leaving all your worries behind and just hitching a ride to nowhere in particular. They don’t make music like this anymore-timeless melodies and soul-stirring guitar solos. If you're here in 2025, you’ve got great taste in music. Let’s keep these classics alive! 🚗🎸✨

These guys were definitely ahead of their time when they hit the scene. True guitar fans always loved their music. They did things actually a lot like Lynyrd Skynyrd did, in that the guitars would run off away from one another on solos and then come back and harmonize. Just a really awesome sound, and had such an unique sound that with just a few notes played into any song you instantly knew it was a Boston song, (also like a Skynyrd song). This is something that is kinda lost these days. I really wish they never had any of the legal woes that they had. It robbed us fans of a lot of awesome music over many years. I can't remember anyone ever telling me that they didn't like Boston, and that's really saying something. Boston was truly one of the most talented bands ever. Imho
