I agree, this song truly is a 10 (and it's been a 10 for me since I was 7 years old when it first came out on the radio in 1976). This is the song by which I judge all others. I'm not a musician, but I've had a sincere appreciation of good music since I was a young child, and I cannot think of another song I've heard in the last 50 years that is better than this one. How this band is not in the Rock n Roll Music Hall of Fame I do not know (or understand). They are/were master of musicianship.

Album was recorded in the home studio of Tom Scholz: He came into the recording industry in an unusual way; as an MIT-trained engineer interested in music, he had designed his own recording studio in an apartment building basement to record his own music. The first Boston album was mostly recorded in this basement studio, often using devices he designed and invented himself. After the initial success of the band, he founded Scholz Research & Development, Inc. to develop and market his own inventions, many under the Rockman brand.
@alainrobillard43003 жыл бұрын
Interesting facts are that Tom Scholz played all the instruments except for the drum. And a friend, Brad Delp sang all the vocal tracks. All instruments were recorded 2 or 3 times, and mixed together. A colossal work done over a 5 years period.

@@alainrobillard4300 Sadly, sometime between 11:00 pm on March 8 and 1:20 pm on March 9, 2007, Delp died by suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning at his home on Academy Avenue, in Atkinson, New Hampshire. He left various notes scattered from his car to the interior of his home. The Atkinson police discovered his body on the floor of his master bathroom after Pamela Sullivan saw a dryer vent tube connected to the exhaust pipe of Delp's car. Two charcoal grills were found to have been placed in the bathtub and lit, causing the room to fill with smoke. A suicide note was paper-clipped to the neck of his T-shirt, which read the same as a character's note from Twin Peaks: "Mr. Brad Delp. I am a lonely soul." Delp left four sealed envelopes in his office addressed to his children, his former wife Micki, his fiancée, and a couple who were not named by the media. He was 55 years old. The following day, Boston's website was temporarily closed down, the webmaster having replaced their home page with a simple black background and white text message: "We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

Tom Scholz played and mixed the instruments in his basement and Brad Delp did ALL of the vocals and harmonies. It is really a masterpiece. They had to create a band to actually play it live and tour. The other amazing thing is the technology at the time in 1976 was analog. We take it for granted today on our iphones we can mix a multitrack song. Tom did it with analog tape and a razor to cut.

Then when the album became a hit and they needed to tour, Tom had to hire other musicians to play the other instruments :)

Ugh, I am very rarely ever envious of others. However, one of my few regrets in life is that I didn't see Boston live in the mid to late 80s when I was finally old enough to see them. The band had basically become a one-man show by 1989-1990. I had one chance to see them in June 1987, but I lived in Texas at the time and they were playing in Dallas at the Cottonbowl (outdoor football stadium...in June...in 100 degree heat) and I decided I didn't want to buy tickets for an outdoor concert in Texas in June. They had not toured since 1979, when I was 10 years old, and I thought for sure there would be another chance. Then I moved to Manhattan in 1990, and there was no other chance to see the original members again. I'm happy for you that you didn't miss out. I bet they were Ah-mazing back then

The story of Boston is a rare tale. Tom Scholz was an electronic engineer by day and a musician by night who built a home studio in his basement in the early 70s. Not state-of-the-art even then, Tom masterfully recorded all of the instruments (guitars, bass, Hammond organ) except for drums (Jim Masdea ("Rock And Roll Band"), Sib Hashian) and the guitar solos on "Long Time" all in his basement. He mixed the entire Boston debut album (except one song) in his basement in 1975. Tom's friend Brad Delp did all the vocals, something like eight tracks between doubling himself and added harmonies. The eponymous album was the biggest-selling debut album of all-time until Guns 'N' Roses' "Appetite For Destruction" (1987j Check out all of their works from the first album (1978), "Don't Look Back" (1978), "Third Stage" (1984) and "Walk On" (1994)
