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.

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. 🙏❤️🎤🎶

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.

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.

I've heard this song about a billion times and I still get chills every time. I was lucky enough to buy this album the second it was released back in the day...A true masterpiece.

they didn't need to REMASTER it it's a pop/rock masterpiece one of a few songs I don't get tired of listening to⚛😀

I must have jammed to this song a million times and it NEVER GETS OLD. Brad Delp was one of the best rock singers of all time, up there with Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry for me. Awesome.

Forty eight years ago...almost half a century. Welcome to our generation (boomers) of real music. Very pleased to see how well you understand the caliber. I think you're spot on.

That was his voice with the guitar on the high part if you listen to the iso track, All done in a basement on a home studio in 1975! Amazing no pro tools.

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. 😂

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!

I live two blocks from the house in Watertown where this masterpiece was recorded. 8 out of 8 songs made it to the radio. The house should be a museum!

The opening guitar melody is probably the most recognizable ever !

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

It truly is the greatest rock and roll song ever recorded. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what song I would miss the most if I could never hear it again, this would be it!

This band led by Tom Scholtz , who recorded this whole album in his basement , and I believe played every instrument himself , and the vocal where done by his friend Brad Delph, one the greatest singers on the planet

Brad Delp
@neechee51508 ай бұрын
@anthonyhaylock6655 Not quite. All of Brads vocals were recorded at Capital Studios Studio C by producer John Boylan sans the vocals on Let Me Take You Home a song that was written by Brad and recorded in its entirety at The Record Plant LA by the band as pictured on the back of the record. Tom did not play all of the instrument tracks, Sib plays drums on every track except Rock and Roll Band and Jim Masdea plays on that song.

Saw them back in the 1970's. Incredible band and Bradley Delp has arguably one of the greatest rock voices ever. He hits notes nobody else does. Sadly Bradley Delp suffered from depression and took his own life in 2007. 😢

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.
