Boston is a band that has never had a predecessor and will never have a mimic. They stand alone in their type of rock. And they KILLED it.

[@inthecrosshairs4480]

Ehhh. Might want to do a 20 second KZbin search. There are TONS of cover bands that destroy Boston. Sorry to burst that bubble of delusion. They were a great studio band. But LIVE? As witnessed in this live show. The vocals were awful. Pitch and falsetto vocals were horrible.

Man, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve just said “screw it,” took a drive and blasted my favorite Boston songs, hell, I even took one tonight. This band means so much to me; this band has helped me through college for the past 2 years. It might sound silly to some, however, these songs have truly helped me get through some of the darkest and depressing days. If there was one dead person I could ever meet, it would honestly be Brad. Yeah, he died when I was a kid, but honestly this dude, through his songs, has been like a “best friend” for me for the past few years. Love ya, man!

Back in the 90's I worked as an amp tech at a regional music store chain in New England and a Yamaha 12 string came into the guitar repair shop which was the next room over from where I was. No big deal until I heard one of the guitar tech playing the intro to this song on it. Curious (and because I loved Boston) I went into the shop to listen. I told him it sounded just like the original recording of More Than a Feeling. He laughed and he said, "It should...this is the guitar that was used for that recording!". Holy Crap! He let me play it and now I can say I have played the guitar that opened that song...Pretty cool stuff!

[@tom-js1yz]

Between 1983-1987 I played basketball with tom every Tuesday night and Saturday morning in Boston...he's probably 6'4" and had springs in his legs! I had a party for about 30 friends at my condo in Charlestown and Tom was the first to arrive and the last to leave...as humble as they come...spent about 20 mins perusing my record collection....I was too embarrassed to have him sign any albums. But just a really down to earth nice guy.

[@christiancamlin13]

This band embodied the hard rock of the late 70's. Progressive Rock was at it's creative peak and even straight ahead rock bands were borrowing ideas from some of the Prog Rock Giants like Boston and Yes. The 80's came and and Rock went into a down period though it rebounded in the 90's. Still Boston was a cut above most bands of the time.

[@tjerwin1]

I was born in 1960 and obviously my teen years were subjected to the '70's. To me the best rock music was during that era. I miss it all the time.

Thing is we didn't live there very long, and I certainly do not recall any of it. My father worked in the insurance business and when he started out, was forced to move to different places. I guess we even lived in some God forsaken town on the Kansas/Oklahoma border. My mom hated it, and she let it be known she did. Needless to say we moved out of there pretty quickly. That is one place I'm happy to say I don't recall living in. Anyway, we ended up in a very nice suburb of Mpls/St. Paul, MN. Still living in the Twin Cities area and absolutely love it. It didn't hurt that I love hockey and was blessed to have played through college. Anyway, I agree with you in regards to Axl Rose and GNR. Those guys have been through hell and back...….a few times. I'm sure you know, but David Lee Roth is also a Hoosier. Yeah, I'll always love good ol' rock & roll that blows you away. My first concert was KISS with Judas Priest back in 1979. I'm dating myself but hey, I lived through a period of incredible music that I will always love.

When melody, harmony, and a well written song come together... its magic! The Eagles and a few other bands knew this formula to produce timeless classics like this one.

[@rangerpl2636]

Boston/Brad Delp always achieved a unique harmonic resonance with my soul, the music intertwined with my raw emotions. They were the right band at the right time in my difficult youth. Loosing Brad Delp was and continues to be difficult for me. After several tours in Iraq and Afghanistan I returned with PTSD and a profound distortion of what mankind truly is. I rediscovered Boston/Brad Delp and once again the music brought a kinder inner peace. One of Brad's final words included "I'm tired of living" and "I'm a lonely soul". I'm there too Brad, I'm there too.

[@DiabloSpiritus]

Damn, dude, thats like the HIGHEST praise that anyone could give! I like this comment!

[@ruizhou9612]

Yep, pretty much sum it up. I think Tom was playing with designs for the foot pedal phasors and a bad transistor gave a certain sound that was unique in his Rockman design. He developed the Rockman series around this saturated transistor. At least that was the story back then. The rockman had a unique sound of the day, I played using them. He had various patents and it was the first that I know of that an artist had designed the actual equipment and had a patent on it. Some ground breaking first here.

[@Hogitall]

Tom was an engineer student from MIT. He invented the "Rockman" pre-amp you hear making the killer sustain and tone on guitar. Sold for $250.00 in the 70's. It was a strap clip on pre-amp about 6" x 6"

Robert Beatto,the producer, has a channel on here,he did a whole analysis of 'More than a feeling's that is unreal,how it was made. In another episode he has raw vocals of Brad Delp singing and it is unreal how good it sounds he had pipes. Meanwhile most 'stars' these days have little or no talent, he had tapes of some of them singing raw,OMG. Outside people like Lady Gaga ( I have heard her sing genuinely live,years ago, in a caberet performance,she was singing the anthem live,J lo was lip sync her) and Adele, most of them if it wasn't for auto tune or studio tricks they would just be croaking on stage.

As a rock guitar player you can learn so much from that 10 seconds. Tom Scholls lets that note sustain@ 4:04 and then pic scrapes @4:11. Just nailing that transition can teach you a lot.
