Boston - More Than a Feeling REACTION! This dude can SING SING!

[@cygnusx-1862]

You are not trippin.. this dudes vocals are so under appreciated.

[@mikereliford55]

Not sure Brad Delp is under appreciated. Just ask any music artist about him haha, but maybe yeah in the general public.

[@jeanearle2350]

Brad Delp was one of the top singers ever. I can see your comparison to Mercury. Just his range and incredible ability to hold a note forever. Boston will always be one of my top 5 bands.

[@GTLyons]

"This dude can sing..." biggest understatement for one of the greatest songs ever!

[@robinlathim8221]

lol

[@jayjonasen3325]

He also said that "his vocal performance is Insanity"

[@scottsumner2998]

Foreplay/Long time. Better than More than a Feeling in my humble opinion.

[@SirWrecksy]

​@@scottsumner2998 And hitch a ride even better than those two

[@KDProudAmerican]

​@@scottsumner2998 More than a feeling is a better song. Foreplay/Longtime is a musical experience.

[@Widdermaker]

Brad Delp is the most underrated rock singer of all time. He can belt it out with control that NO ONE can match. Listen to the whole Boston debut album - for many years it was the biggest selling debut album of ALL TIME. 17 million+ copies. RIP Brad - he died by suicide in 2007. Tragic!

[@willrohan7256]

I saw Brad with Beatlejuice in NYC with my fiancé . He was playing Paul, and he knocked it out of the park!. I prefer his spectacular voice to Mercury's AND Steve Perry's. Brad's death was tragic for humanity; that great performer and his iconic voice silenced forever.

[@stevenjohannesson316]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@socasack]

He was not underrated. The guy was great and everyone knew it.

[@relshdan191]

he is underrated...he's never in a top vocalist list...ever.

[@Blue-6773]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is arguably the BEST debut album of all time, it had nothing but bangers, can't go wrong with any song off of it. Every song got radio air time.🎸🎸🤟😍

[@mwindus72]

Totally agree!

[@roniboyd613]

Still have AND listen to this album😁

[@robinlathim8221]

Truth!

[@mucksmith3569]

Yup. Even for Boston it was impossible to beat. Peaked at the debut. Still love the rest though.

[@JB-un2iv]

Act like this isn't commonly said about this album....

[@LarryGlick-d9i]

As this guy said on this podcast - Brad was in the same category as Freddy Mercury, Steve Perry etc. He can do anything he wants vocally in his prime - there were no limits to Brad Delp’s range, this debut album was one of the greatest accomplishments of quality rock music ever recorded and - Brad Delp was unequivocally one of the most gifted Rock Singers in the history of the genre !

[@kevinehle6637]

Boston's Foreplay/Longtime still one of the greatest rock songs of all time!!

I feel Boston is such an underrated band. They have such great tunes. His voice is up in the top 10.

[@CorePathway]

No, no they were not underrated back in the day. They were HUGE. Maybe they are for subsequent generations, but Boomers and X’ers loved ‘em.

[@MotoNomad350]

Brad Delp has one of the all-time rock voices which is a big statement. Pure talent. Every vocal part you hear on the track was sung by him. He layered his own vocals and sang the harmonies and backing parts.

[@robinlathim8221]

He's so incredible!

[@essten94]

[@ContrarianCorner]

Hard to say he's "underrated" but Delp is not mentioned nearly enough among the pantheon of GREAT rock vocalists.

[@TheSulross]

I graduated in '79 - this debuted in '76 - so totally defined my coming of age years when there were bands putting out some of the best rock music ever I vote this one song as THE BEST ROCK SONG OF THE 1970s

[@mikecook9308]

Brad Delp..R.I.P. one of the greatest voices in Rock and Roll history.

[@theodoreritola7641]

Top 3 easy Alongwith Elves P Robert Plant. Steve Perry

[@Renkk17]

That was real music when people could actually Sing! and play their own instruments! Seems like this is the reason so many of the older generation don't think there's any real music anymore, no melody, no harmony no one plays an instrument or writes their own music and has a great voice!

[@Cchan53]

Right ..some talent out there but nothing like from this era ...NOTHING!

[@Mhantrax]

That's why I lead them to Ren. I have restored multiple boomers' faith in the younger generation's talent using Ren as a stepping stone. I am an older Gen X, so grew up with their ridiculously awesome music before the 80s came along with its not quite as but still awesome music. The early 90s also had a big impact on Gen X (Curt Cobain was our spokesperson).

[@karenkenney6021]

Yes exactly, before autotune! Real talent here

[@scapito]

There are so many new bands and artists that are wonderful singer songwriters. They're going to be more independent because the methods of recording, without being manufactured by a label, is much more expensive. Check out some of the more well known newer artist like Gary Clark Jr, Alan Stone (his story is incredible btw), Billy Strings, Chris Stapleton, Grace Potter, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats... the list could go on and on...

[@flamingpieherman9822]

​@@MhantraxI'm an older Gen x too born 67. My little girl was raised on this music! She's 21 now and her and her boyfriend like this kind of music...

"Maryann" is the cousin of Tom Sholtz, the founder of Boston. He said he had a huge crush on her when he was a kid.

[@richardalexander2305]

Yes, I saw interview were Tom admitted that. Older Mary Ann wasn't happy he used her name in that song and when released voiced her displeasure.

[@scottjswenson]

The reality that the band or any of the members are not in the Rock n Roll HOF is criminal. Where does Brad hit in the top vocalists? If you ask the common person, he’s in the top 5. If you ask the industry, for some reason people forget he even existed. Not only was he a brilliant vocalist, he was a beautiful human. I still miss him.

Should be noted for the record: This is NOT just an "extended note" at the end, but an extended note that hits FOUR DIFFERENT OCTAVES at the same time while holding onto that note.

[@erinriwen]

I agree!,

[@AutumnPheonix]

Agreed!

[@Squarebody_Builds]

No auto tune, no studio magic, just raw, pure talent. You don't see this with today's music.

[@gwydion56]

Tom Scholz was a musical and engineering genius to wrote, played the instruments, and produced the album almost entirely on his own. But his true genius was getting Brad Delp as his vocalist. Delp had a voice range and variety that was only rivaled by the likes of Freddy Mercury. The results were epic. Foreplay/Longtime is a must-listen pair of songs. The Foreplay part is all about the instruments, But the Longtime section is another tour de force by Brad Delp. There is nothing bad in Boston's very unique catalog of hits.

[@bonnielemenager4030]

Brad Delp had such an amazing voice; beyond the octaves that he seemed to hit (and hold) with seemingly little effort, I always thought he was other-worldly. Like so many before him, the music that drove him was also what finally took his life. Rare talent like his was rare.

[@jmac7947]

Ok, so as a producer, you need to know this whole album. Tom Scholz is the guitarist, but he produced this entire album out of his basement. Many of the effects for the guitars, bass, and vocals he created and electrically engineered himself. Then that's Brad Delp. Brad's voice is transcendent. It was a sad day when we lost him. More Boston.

[@larrytarnowski3]

The production on this album is fantastic.

[@JHPine]

Brad left us all FAR too soon. 😢

[@VinceCollier]

Brad Delp most definitely deserve to be mentioned in the company of Mercury. He's probably the best and most underrated vocalist in rock.

[@KennethSavage-nn2vv]

I grew up in a town north of Boston. In the summers I worked for a landscaper. We used to cut the lawn at the home next to the Boston drummer (R.I.P. Sib Hashian) home. Many Fridays we’d sit on the curb eating our lunches in the sun and hear Boston rehearsing in the basement. Such warm memories thanks for the reminder. Long live Boston

[@craigwillson5974]

Dude, Boston is one of the all time greatest Rock N Roll bands... it's an absolute fact! I know this because I'm 60 years old and a former radio DJ who was a huge fan of this band. Not to mention, I'm from New Hampshire, which is where Brad Delp, the lead singer, lived for years. I remember distinctly, the first time I heard Boston, because it was in the mid 1970's and I was in Junior High at the time. One of my best friends older brothers turned us on to the music, and I've never been the same since. In fact, this band is one of the reasons I became a Disc Jockey... true story.

Way back in the day, no auto tune just talent.

[@AXSLA3]

I discovered Boston band from my uncle, circa 1987, and I remember him telling me that maybe just four people in the entire world could do what Bradley Delp did singing in Boston. This band remains as one of my favorites ever since, as I came to listen to their first three albums almost at once and it blew my mind.

[@lovestreet2675]

One of the greatest rock bands of all time!! Omg we blasted every Boston song on this album when we were in high school. The 70s were IT and Brad Delp is the GOAT right next to Steve Perry!! RIP ❤

100 percent agree❤!

[@daveedwards9425]

[@johncheney950]

When this album came out, it blew everybody away . Best debut album of all time.

[@maynarddrivesfast804]

This album takes me back to my childhood when my brother and I would go on road trips with my dad in his '68 Mustang fastback. The Boston debut album would ALWAYS be in rotation in it's ENTIRETY on those trips. These songs just completely encapsulate (for me) a time and place where it was just us, the road, the growl of that V8, and this band cranked to 11. Just an overwhelming feeling of freedom and contentment as the three of us blasted down the highway. I will NEVER not smile and sing along to these songs when they come on.

[@Bethany415]

Brad Delp was the voice of Boston. He passed away in 2007. Tom Scholz essentially created the band while finishing his masters at MIT. He invented the guitar pedals that let him play effects and make the "Boston sound". Most of the first album was recorded in his basement on equipment he invented. I knew he was an inventor, but Wiki filled in the gaps for me about the extent of his creations. "Don't Look Back" is my personal favorite Boston song, but I grew up with them, and love tons of their music. I don't think it's too much to compare Delp and Mercury. They were amazing artists, and we're all better off for their music.

[@mikemiles3077]

I wash going to say the same thing about Delp and Mercury. Two of THE best vocalists, regardless of genre.

[@Aeolos67]

I am one of those who have every album and have seen them live. What a band. Criminal they're not in the HOF.

[@flamingpieherman9822]

Yeah I think the secondary band was called RTZ? They had some good music but it was always missing that special something from Brad

[@leannsfearcocktail9420]

You’re not trippin… His voice is amazing!!! I enjoyed this video!

[@nathanfisher1826]

And now you know, BOSTON 😊

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Scene Boston back in 1977 , the singer hit all the high notes, !! they played so loud my ears rang the next day! Every song on this LP is Great , Please do HITCH A RIDE next by Boston

[@patchesblue155]

Boston had some of the tightest harmonies in the biz!

[@flamingpieherman9822]

This is the one song that when it comes on and I'm in my car I turn it up as loud as it will go and sing my heart out and I forget everything else that's going on. You know everyone says what a great band queen is and truly great voice. Great songs. But Boston... The man truly had a beautiful voice. The guys on the guitars was extremely talented. They work them like butter and the drummer had true true talent! To me, this is one of the best bands of all time and theyre are never given as much credit as queen... Later on they had a secondary group called RTZ... And those were some pretty good songs too

Brad Delp was truly an amazing singer. I got to see Boston in concert after he had left but we were so blessed because he actually came on the stage to sing 3 songs with them, and this was one of them. It's a memory I will never forget.

[@joeuncoolio]

I'm here for Boston. Crazy story behind Boston is the guy who started it, Tom Scholz was such an artist that he never could see when his creations were complete. He would drive the label crazy because it took him so long to finish and album. He always thought he could tweak it and make it better. Took him years.

[@jasonlighton9636]

This is one of those jams that when they come on you cant help but sing along....even if you dont know the words....lol

[@Kerrawin69]

It's funny how he is singing about loosing himself in old songs bringing back memories and getting lost in the music and today we are doing the same with their music.. 😅 I love Boston. My parents did a great job in introducing me to GREAT MUSIC! Thank you!

[@DestineBaumann]

Every single time I hear this song..I time travel to my teenage years..and I am Happy Again!!!

What makes an artist exceptional to me is if you can tell who you're hearing without knowing ahead of time. Iconic sound.

[@alexschwaller5254]

BOSTON was the best music, ever. We in New England loved them so much and went to their concerts every time we could swing it. I'm in my 60's now, but we still say, "I don't always listen to BOSTON, but when I do, so do my neighbors!" 💥

[@stevetanner3019]

Maybe the most underrated male singer of the 70's. Brad Delp.

[@gaj71961]

Saw them May 17, 1977 in Norfolk’s SCOPE Coliseum. We drove from Newport News. Nine people in a Firebird (yes, really). A dude pulled over in front of us and we had a head on collision in Norfolk. We WALKED the last couple miles to the concert. I had a busted lip from hitting the windshield. Grain alcohol being passed around in the concert kept the lip clean before a 2 a.m. hospital visit for stitches. GREAT BAND & CONCERT. Ahhhhhh…the 70s! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@halhortonsworld5870]

There is nothing by Boston that DOESN'T pop. You'll start to notice that Boston sounds like a lot of other bands, and then you find out that they all actually sound like Boston because Boston pretty much invented the modern rock sound/style. You can close your eyes and throw a dart at a list of Boston songs and every single time, you'll choose a winner!

[@mlhm5]

Tom Scholz, a MIT trained engineer, wrote, played all the instruments and recorded this whole album (not vocals) in his Boston basement apartment. The unique sound came from devices Scholz invented. Brad Delp never gets enough respect as a singer.

[@styxxxs1]

Exactly. Sholz had to form the band with local musicians when he got the record deal to prove that there was a band for the label to promote. No synthesizers were used, it was all guitar and Sholz inventions. Obviously, organ and other instruments were not guitar.

[@chelseahaley8350]

Just crossing songs off my list left and right! Boston has so many great songs! Smokin, Foreplay/Longtime, Peace of mind, Hitch a ride, & Don't look back are just a few of their more popular ones! Im loving this journey so much!! ❤ And u want to see a drummer with a masterpice of a fro, check out Inside looking out by Grand Funk Railroad!

[@erinriwen]

[@dmgallibond469]

Pegasus, the drummer with the amazing afro is Sib Hashian, who sadly passed away in 2017. A bit of trivia for you is that his daughter, Lauren Hashian, is married to "The Rock" himself, Dwayne Johnson. Unfortunately this version of the song is promotional single edit, which cuts out one of the verses. I will add my vote to the many many other commenters who have said you should listen to the entire album and react to some of the full-length album versions of the songs on there. This is an incredible debut album, and this is one of the most "perfect" rock songs of all time (in my opinion).

There are some greats that I am absolutely crazy about, especially ones with a very unique sound but none can touch the sound Boston brought to the music industry.

The song you were referring to in your opening remarks is "Hooked On a Feeling," which was a hit twice: once by BJ Thomas and again by a band called Blue Swede. Both of these releases pre-dated Boston, who released the greatest debut album on rock history. There isn't a bad song on that album. Of course, 2 minutes of Google research before recording would have told you what I just told you and made you sound way more credible.

[@marcatkinson4149]

You do know most reactors prefer to go in blind so they can have a genuine reaction, right? At least the good ones.

[@929mmr]

Reaction videos to songs they have played and researched don't really have as much appeal. In fact, I was intrigued by those opening remarks. I knew it wasn't the same song but I had a hard time going from one to the other in my mind. He sounds way more credible for his not hearing it before having mixed up the two rather than less credible.

[@Xxd04xX]

From Wiki: The lead guitarist, Scholz is an MIT-trained engineer who designed and built his own recording studio in an apartment basement in the early 1970s. A fan of rock music throughout his teen years, Scholz began writing songs while earning his master's degree at MIT. The first Boston album was mostly recorded in his basement studio, primarily using devices _he invented_. After the success of Boston, he founded Scholz Research & Development, Inc. to develop and market his inventions, many under the Rockman brand. Scholz holds several patents related to his work at SR&D over the years. He was described by AllMusic as an "un-rock n' roll" figure who did not enjoy the limelight of being a performer, preferring to concentrate on music, production, and inventing new electronic equipment. In more recent years, he has dedicated much of his money and time to charitable work. Dude is a pure genius. Flowers!

[@Emilie-one]

Song in the beginning you’re thinking of was “hooked on a feeling.” By BJ Thomas? Blue Swede? Boston is not that hahaha! This is such a jam! And yeah, they can sing sing 😂

Without hesitation I can tell you I saw Boston at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill (84), they sounded as pure as their vinyl album. Best vocals live I’ve ever heard. Period. Thanks again and keep exploring my friend👊🏼

[@NOLAgenX]

For me, this song has reigned for most of my life as the best song ever made. It has several pacing changes and some of the best vocals of any rock song.

[@wadstur8429]

Definitely the best lead singer in Rock history. I have lots of favorite bands and singers but this will always be number one ☝

[@djm0111]

Boston was basically Tom Scholtz, who played ALL the instruments on this album, and singer Brad Delp. You are NOT overexaggerating. He was one of the best vocalists of the time. But definitely a tortured soul. Ended up killing himself. I second Foreplay/Long Time.

[@mariettafountain6064]

The whole idea of this song is that when you hear a song it brings you right back to a certain time in your past. This was my favorite band in 1977. Funny but recently I bought the CD. It was a hot summer day. I had my windows open and put the CD in and it literally brought me back to a day in my senior year blasting this song in a car with all my friends with the windows down. All of us singing. And I was like, “ Oh man this is what the song is about!” Timeless!!!

[@Kimberliss42]

We were riding around to this and my best friend asked, "Is that his voice or the guitar?" Our friend pulled his Camaro over so we could figure it out.. 😅 Ahhhh.. The 70s...

[@amyheltonwalker]

My most favorite song ever, takes me back to my high school years, I graduated 1990! I loved those high school years!! Lead singer’s voice is absolutely amazing! The whole sound , his voice, the band , just gets to your soul!

[@roccaclassico9028]

Pegasus, this is the first track on their multi-platinum debut album. The audio on the music video is a radio edit of the studio recording (the second verse was edited out). Brad Delp sang ALL of the vocals, both lead and harmonies. The theme of the lyrics is how music is tied to our memories and emotions; hearing an old, familiar song reminded him of a past girlfriend from years earlier. If you hear only two more "Boston" songs, "Foreplay/Longtime" and "Hitch a Ride" are the ones I recommend.

[@ebenclukey7293]

The best part of the story of Boston is that this debut album full of smash hits was written by by Tom Scholz. He also played most of the instruments. When he couldn't find the effects he was hearing in his head he designed and produced them himself. He graduated from MIT, was working a Polaroid while producing this album in his basement. Record label guy comes to visit and says "Lets get you out to L.A. get some great musicians and producer" and Tom says no. The rep gets up to leave turns in the doorway and says Fine do it your way. Before Tom has time to say anything, the rep says "And we'll split the publishing with you."

[@ignoblesavage5559]

​@mrhyde119 stop what? Steve Morse (Kansas) & Bradley Delp are certainly in that same wheelhouse of amazing singers of clean vocals with outSTANDING high ranges. If you're saying that Kansas isn't in Boston's class, at least in terms of vocals. I'm a fan of progressive rock, so I take Kansas' musicianship over Boston's all day. Miracles Out of Nowhere or The Wall or Cherokee Anthem are great prog rock tunes, while Dust in the Wind of Carry On scratch the classic rock itch (even though Carry On is ALSO a prog rock classic).

If I was stuck on a desert island for the rest of my life and could only bring one song to listen to this would be the one. Without a doubt my favorite rock song of all time.❤ Check out Foreplay/Long Time next. ❤

I’m really jealous of you getting to experience so many of these amazing bands for the first time... And you have a huge advantage over us from back then… hardly ANY of us ever got to see Live video of them unless they happened to be on a music show on TV or we were fortunate enough to see them in concert. You are very lucky young man 🇺🇸😎

This is one of the biggest rock bands in the 70's. The lead singer has an incredible voice even in any comparison.

You're not tripping... this man's uberclean vocals that hit ALL the highs, every time... pretty brilliant. They aren't 1 of my favorites bc I gravitated toward much heavier/intense music, but I will respect this man's voice for all of time, just like how I'm a Lakers fan who will forever respect Larry Bird's game...
