Hey Maggie, you should definitely check out the title track from Boston's 2nd album, "Don't Look Back"

[@LadyIarConnacht]

How did he get up there? He's Brad Delp, that's how. React to literally any of their songs, because they don't have a bad one. This is one of the hottest debut albums of all time - blew us out of the water as teens.

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

Just pick any Boston tune from that list you gave at the beginning. You could start with Foreplay/Longtime but everything they do is great and special. Hitch a Ride will change your life. I'm so glad you have discovered Tom Scholz and Boston!

[@karlsmith2570]

@LadyIarConnacht it's sad that he'd unalived himself, though

[@keithdean9149]

Did you notice that the "UFOs" on the album cover are actually guitars?

[@guinnessman1965]

A band like BOSTON comes around only once in a lifetime.

[@3madeamps]

[@timfarney5165]

Luckily for me it was when I was 12.

[@STILL-KICKIN]

You will not find a bad song on this amazing debut album

[@jwest142]

To this day II still say that Boston is the only band I have ever heard that never had a bad song! I love this band so very much. I loved this album when I was a kid. I love it now that I'm almost 60 years old. I still have all their original al;bums I bought when I was in school and I have worn out countless tapes of this band. RIP Brad Delp, so sad but his legacy lives on and always will!

[@0okamino]

As I like to say, you could confidently build a bomb shelter out of this album. That’s how utterly solid it is.

[@jafquist27]

I was going to say something to that effect. All of the songs from this album, to this day, can still be heard on the radio. The best debut album of all. IMO.

[@djknox2]

It is arguably the greatest debut LP of all time. There are others than compete, but it's probably the greatest. AND, this is the opening song!

[@jeanpaul4100]

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY needs to watch Rick Beato break this song down from start to finish to truly appreciate the depth of genius involved. The first time he isolated Brad Delp's voice I burst into tears. RIP Brad, sadly missed.

[@julianortiz4151]

💯 💔

[@LordViktor299]

[@maxmckinleyii]

Ha! I posted the same thing before I read your comment. And you are correct about Brad Delp!

[@cervantezm]

lol was about to comment, but thanks for this shoutout 😀 Just wanted to add that (according to Ric Beato), Brad still continues with his vocals tho they are drowned by the lead guitar ... only after isolating the vocals from the rest of the instruments will we get to hear it ... RIP Brad (also love his "til' our love comes back around" when he was with RTZ)

[@brianomoli4]

Rick Beato is the SHIT!! I love that guy.

[@JimboUSAF007]

Thank God I was a teenager during the 70's...R.I.P. Brad Delp.

[@metal-adjacent]

Foreplay is the first metal song IMO

[@aluthman281]

@@metal-adjacent Nah man that album was released in '75. Sabbath, Zeppelin and Deep Purple had all done their best work by then. It's great but not the first anything

[@blake1771]

As much respect and admiration as Brad Delp's vocals get, it's not enough. People obviously know Boston but so many people don't know Brad Delp's name. One of the absolute best voices in all of music...EVER.

[@robertearl963]

Tom and Brad are music idols. Tom had an amazing talent for song writing as well as playing guitar and engineering the final product you hear. It's so very sad that Brad is no longer with us. His voice was epic. Such an incredible loss!! I might be biased but they never recorded an album I didn't like.

[@Not-a-GSD]

Brad and Freddie had the best voices and it’s amazing that their career’s overlapped.

[@jeffreyclark72]

This is a masterpiece of epic proportions. This entire song was recorded in Tom Schultz basement. He played all the instruments and Brad delp banged out the vocals. There are no spaces in this all spaces are filled from The vocal doubling to the hand claps. He was an absolute prodigy!!!

[@jchm27]

No Autotune on the 70's, just pure talent and skill, best band ever

[@roykliffen9674]

3:20 Brad Delp actually hamonises with the guitars and, yes, he went that high. Rick Beato anaylised this song 5 years ago and let you hear Delp's voice with the guitars (Video: "What Makes This Song Great? Ep.71 BOSTON (#2)" about 8m30s in)

[@kevinkaurin8383]

Rick Beato just broke down another one, "A Man I'll Never Be". "BREAKING DOWN MY FAVORITE BOSTON SONG"

[@dphalanx7465]

Can't recommend Rick's work enough...go see his channel!!

[@julianortiz4151]

I’m so glad you brought up Rick Beato’s breakdown of this song. Brad Delp’s isolated vocal tracks literally give me the chills every time I hear them. I’m so glad I got to witness Brad perform with Boston eons ago. He was an amazing live vocalist and he’s sorely missed.

[@MusicalJackknife]

​@@kevinkaurin8383 No way, that's my favorite song of theirs too and I don't know many people who have heard it. I'll check his video out!

[@markldavis1]

You're correct

[@mikejacobson14]

It brings a tear to my eye when I realize we'll never have new music like what we had from '65 to '80. This was one of the best albums ever.

[@Natakel]

Word.

[@dso227]

No doubt. Do you remember hearing this and other excellent tunes back in high school for the first time? Cruising with a friend who has a new tape or going to a party at someone's house or at the gravel pit or just at work hearing it coming on the radio for the first time. I didn't know how good we had it back then but so glad to have this as part of the audio wallpaper of my younger days.

[@mikejacobson14]

[@SteveoGregg]

@user-dz9mm3jm9m I was a child through the 70s , and my adult parents love them times also. I was born in 68.

[@Trace7173]

Brad Delp was an awesome singer who unfortunately was plagued with depression and self doubt. There are interviews of him on YT where he said he could never see himself part of something successful. No wonder he took his life back in 2007. I hope he knew how much he was loved and appreciated by his fans!

[@joepharmasst]

Funny how people don't believe what the rest of us know as fact

[@user-dz9mm3jm9m]

I miss Brad Delp so much. His voice was so amazing 😢

[@michaeldezego340]

Tom Scholz graduated from MIT. He’s brilliant. Some of the effects on Boston’s recordings he designed himself. He did everything on the first album except play drums and sing. Brad Delp, the singer, did all the vocal parts himself.

[@jmolony31]

The equipment he makes is still used today.

[@silverfischdotnet]

Every single song on this album is an absolute banger.

[@martywatson9796]

Boston, light years ahead of their time.

[@tehawesomeface1337]

I listened to Boston’s first album almost everyday after school from 1976 to 1979 when I moved to Canada from the Philippines. I would put on the headphones and just block off the rest of the world. I listened to it so often I wore out the record. This was way before CDs. When no one was home I ‘borrowed’ my brother’s electric guitar and play air-guitar to Boston’s whole album. I play guitar, but no way could I play like Tom Scholz. I went to my very first concert in 1988 in Vancouver BC at the Pacific Coliseum. It was for BOSTON! I could not believe! There they were, my childhood heroes! They did not disappoint! After all these years this album is still magic! Years later I met my ‘Maryanne’. This song is now so bittersweet, as every now and then, I still dream of that girl I used to know, that I let slip away.

[@johnmrog]

My "Boston" 8-track was worn out and would no longer play on my car stereo a year after I bought it. I wore that sucker out. (I can to this day hear the 8-track "breaks" in the songs in my head.)

[@richardjosephus6802]

You are not kidding, every guy has that MaryAnn, and this song lets us remember her

[@tehawesomeface1337]

Maggie, loved your reaction so much. I picked up the guitar again. I remember the chords, one of the first I learned so long ago. I started playing this song again, and pretend I can play like Tom Scholz and pretend I can sing like Brad Delp. Crank up the volume and let the music take me away and pretend I’m a teenager again.

[@frederickglasser5617]

We all did (listen to it daily) along with Frampton Comes Alive

[@Zapattack321]

I’m an old fart (63) and I thank God I was in my teens to witness this when it debuted in ‘76. Those of us my age were around for some of the best music to hit the scene.

[@Pantera-wu9ty]

Brad Delp, the legend with a voice that only comes once in a millennium !!! RIP Brad, you are the GOAT!!!!!!

[@DavesClassicCars]

More Than A Feeling is one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded.

[@doobieeful]

You, we, and the world will never see another singer quite like Brad Delp.

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

This song reminds me of high school 74 to 78. This song packs all the same power today as it did when it first came out.

[@twalsh4019]

The greatest debut album in rock history.

[@jayman58016]

Brad Delp had boss level vocals. Few others through that time or even now could challenge his voice and range and still sound so smooth

[@rodl.miller3353]

Hello @Maggie Renee This first album that Boston did was recorded over a 5 year period. The keyboardist and vocalist that you admire, was a MIT graduate and perfectionist. The Drummer and him would record as often as they could and did everything themselves. The story goes that when they got their first record deal, they walked in and handed the executives their finished product and said here it is, all you have to do now is press it. They did after hearing it, and the rest is music history. You will not find a bad song from Boston. Check out Foreplay/Long Time. It starts off with an amazing Instrumental (Foreplay) and goes into a phenomenal song with more vocal acrobatics. Happy New Year and I wish you much continued success, happiness, great health and prosperity in 2024. 🙏❤️🎤🎶

[@Steve-gx9ot]

Saw these guys on their 1976 tour! Fantastic and will NEVER Firget the great Sounds!!❤

[@TampaCEO]

This is the music I grew up on - real musicians using talent and hard work. Among the brilliant bands of the 1970s and 1980s, Boston was among the greatest. So glad you found them. You just entered the rabbit hole.

[@theodoreritola7641]

Most of their biggest songs are from the 70s Though I use to be a huge 70s fan but mostly that's in my past, now i have put all my trust in the Lord Jesus Christ Because Of what he has done for me personally. His death burial and resurrection Has redeemed me. And i know he died for me personally. I know I'm going to be with him forever in Heaven. Because i have put all my trust in The Son of God. I now have so much peace and joy . I hope you put all your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves you enough to take your place on the cross because we all deserve Hell, But its total peace now for me.This will be the best news you will ever hear Have a great day God bless you ..

[@mrh3578]

Absolutely brilliant piece of music. In my opinion, this is a historical significant album.

[@delscoville]

The trick of the singing turning into a guitar sound, is his voice being faded into a guitar pedal. So it's still him singing. It's a great effect that makes this song so memorable.

[@Dreyno]

Tom Scholz was a design engineer for Polaroid (cameras) and an MIT grad. He made his own guitar effects etc. The voice at the end was sustained with studio trickery. Although Delp probably held it a long time before it started to be manipulated because he was an incredible singer.

[@billbailey5689]

I jammed to this song as a 13 yr old in 1976 on my Mom's Girard turntable while she was at work. I later learned you could hear the music 2 houses down...LOL Brad Delp was the most underrated Rock singer ever, I think. He reached notes that were off the scale. His voice blends with the guitars, making it hard to distinguish if it's him or the guitar. The notes, melody, and rhythm are true artistry. And the lyrics...wow. I think every guy can relate to some girl they used to know. Music and smell can teleport me back to those days. The music of Boston's "More than a Feeling" does that. The smell of a cigar brings me back to riding in the car down the highway with my Dad listening to Herb Alpert's album, "Whipped Cream"....timeless.

[@rusty9129]

It's really fun to see young people discover my old fogie music and dig it the way we all used to when we were your age! I saw Boston live on tour for this album in 1976...they were touring with Kansas!! I can assure you that the musicianship was top notch and Mr. Delp did in fact hit every note without cheating or sliding or wavering. Nearly every song on the first two albums is an anthem...I understand Scholtz is kind of an ass, but he sure was smart and talented.

[@proberts4243]

I’m a 40 yr old guy and I’m so thankful my dad was a drummer in a rock band all throughout the 1970’s. He and my mom introduced me to “classic” rock. I became a drummer myself. Rock is my favorite genre to listen to and play as well. This band, this album will never go out of style. IMHO.

[@marksillars8997]

I was 13 when I saw Boston in concert in 1976. Their debut tour, in Chicago. I have a signed picture disc with all the original members. They are the greatest band on the planet.

[@terrywags982]

The opening guitar melody is probably the most recognizable ever !

[@kevindelong9398]

I LOVE this song and band, but I'd put the guitar open to "Sweet Child O' Mine" above it. Honestly, the fade in makes it a perfect song to use as your alarm, but I found myself not liking this song as much so I had to remove it as my alarm. Lol

[@brianscott3541]

This song is a classic and the entire first album is like a greatest hits!!!! There are definitely more fantastic songs, like the more romantic "Amanda," but this is probably my favorite. "Foreplay/Longtime" is also a great one on the first album. Don't be put off by the song's length, because it is a musical extravaganza!!!! Trillion times of fun watching this video with you and happy new year my beautiful friend!!!!❤

[@daytonarama]

Thw spacey sustain at the end comes from the composer and guitarist (and bassist and keyboard player) Tom Scholz. He invented and built the one of a kind effects pedal used here and on all Boston tunes, which allows him to do endless sustains as well as the spacey sound effects. A true genius.

the irony of this MASTERPIECE of a song talking about how songs make us feel

[@JulieConkle]

I'm 65, and when that song comes on the car radio, it is turned up loud. I am back to 17 again. Brad Delp was a treasure, and so, so sad he is gone.

[@JulieConkle]

Also, please do Don't Look Back next!

[@JDog-tn8we]

Ditto. But I’m only 61. 😂

[@cathyhudnall6742]

I saw them in 1979 on their "Don't Look Back" tour. It was FANTASTIC! Yeah, I'm old but grew up listening to great music such as this. 😂

[@mikelucchesi1719]

Saw them on the same tour and it was amazing! Delp’s voice live was incredible as well. Such a great era for rock ‘n roll!

[@JammyCrackcorn]

I got that T-Shirt!!

[@milanbogicic9904]

One of the best songs ever made,i love you Maggie ,you need to react more 😁🍀🌞!

[@m.vondrake5534]

Rest in Peace, Brad Delp. His depression took him away from us.

[@themaga8379]

His Mary Ann really did slip away and he never got over it

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

their debut album is pure fire, every song is amazing.

[@dnf-dead]

Boston, Don't look back and Third Stage are 3 of my favourite albums 😊

[@kimberlysteppe7456]

She gets it! I’m 54 and I know when they get it ! Awesome! Keeping digging there’s another world of music that will blow your mind!

[@CDiPaola04]

3:13, yes it switches to the guitar but Brad Delp ALSO sings a high "ah" sound there in the background. So much layering... so genius!

[@marinusbonsing]

The most underrated leadvocalist there is ...

[@mph7282]

He’s pretty much universally regarded as one of the top two or three vocalists in rock n roll history. He’s not remotely underrated.

[@SomeoneElse-gv4pk]

This was recorded by 2 people. Tom played all the instruments, Brad did all the vocal tracks. Unbelievable talent.

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

Jim Masdea played drums on “Rock and Roll Band”. He later replaced Sib Hashian as the band’s drummer.

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

I forgot to mention: Mr. Masdea also claims to have helped Mr. Scholz compose the songs that ended up on the debut album. Mr. Masdea hasn’t proved that claim, but his testimony is compelling evidence for it.

[@leechap3]

For me this is the ultimate rock anthem.

[@LuisFelipe-yr1hl]

I can not stop listen this song, is mind blowing!!!

[@ASkepticsPerspective]

As @still-kickin says "You will not find a bad song on this amazing debut album". If you recognize the chorus it is probably because this song has been used on several TV commercials over the years. AND as us old farts often (too often) say, the best rock came out of the 70s!

[@mikelafata1680]

You have to listen to this entire album from start to finish. All hits.

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

Not all hits, but definitely all hit-caliber.

[@dalejohnson2047]

Tom also built a lot of the equipment he used to record he was an mit graduate,his amps components are still being sold today ( Rockman effects)
