Boston - More Than A Feeling | REACTION

[@djm4457]

"I don't want it to end" The whole world felt that way in '76. Boston's debut album just exploded on the scene. Nothing like it has come since!

[@MoMoMyPup10]

It's one thing to hear a song for the first time and get blown away, but it's another thing altogether to be there to hear it hit the airwaves for the first time. It blew us all away.

The fade-in makes the song never age. It's fresh every time I've heard it for the last 45 years of my life.

[@corbywestbrook1348]

Think what we went thru. Before CD’s, before cell phones, way before something called the internet lol 😂 We had to scan all the FM Chanel’s. Figure out what in the heck was that. Blew our early teenage years in 78. KZEL & KGON Rocks was our go to for music (rock that is). What an era to grow up n.

[@leescarpelli3515]

Best voice ever. Period

[@terryomalley1974]

This song should be seen as the anthem of classic rock in the '70s/early '80s. Brad Delps had the best voice in rock. A true loss that he passed on so young.

[@denevaflath1397]

The band was so great, they named a city after them.

[@johns.4331]

The high pitched voice leading into the high pitched guitar...

Mary Ann was a much older cousin of Tom that he had a crush on when he was a child. It's very endearing. There can never be a Boston tribute band because nobody can sing like Brad Delp. Nobody.

Try the Hindley Street Country Club cover. It will shake your resolve. seriously.

The band Smokin/Renegade band does an amazing job with Boston and Styx I was super skeptical too

[@maggiebeltaa5421]

It is absolutely impossible to not get a shot of serotonin when you hear the riffs with brads voice. Ahhh. Such a golden tune. I honestly wish I could hear it for the first time again. Absolute MASTERPIECE. There will never be another one like it.

[@miaw6392]

My Dad was an adolescent and met a dark haired girl. He wanted to kiss her and didn't. That was the curse of his life. He never left that heartbreak. He died at 85. He would blast this song to the point like, "Dad turn that shit down." It was played at his funeral.

Just wanted to add, we lived in the seat of the KKK in Colorado. So yes it was racist.

Reaches the summit then goes further.

[@simplify55]

So lucky I got to see them live in my younger day (much younger days). They were incredible thanks for reviewing

[@1001Hobbies]

Tom Scholz was an Electrical Engineer and designed and made electrical equipment to modify the sounds of the guitars. This is why Boston had such a unique sound. They were the only ones with this equipment, and it was all in Tom's basement. When they recorded their next album in an actual studio Tom had to bring his equipment to the studio to get the same sound. Tom also wrote all the songs, words and music, and played all the instruments.

[@googlefashists4986]

So they werent a band.

[@1001Hobbies]

@@googlefashists4986 - In reality, no. It was two guys in one of the guy's basement. They had to hire other musicians to perform on tour after they got their record deal. There are videos on KZbin about this. There are interviews with Tom Scholz where he talks about this, and he even shows the equipment in his basement where this all happened. When they were ready to record their second album Scholz told them he would bring his equipment to the recording studio that the record company wanted them to record in. He was told the studio has their own equipment. Tom told them "Not the equipment that makes the sound that we have, because I made it. It has to be there." (Not an exact quote but paraphrasing) This is why nobody else sounds like Boston, particularly the guitars.

[@barrybilicki1341]

GUY! You've taught this old man a lesson. I was 21 years old when this album came out. Just went in the U.S. Air Force Feb 77. You couldn't get away from this album. It was played everywhere including all the recreation centers at Lackland AFB. Every dance for the troops played nothing but Boston. Now the lesson you taught me at 67 years old. The way to listen to any and I mean any music. Get a good set of headphones. Find a nice quite place. Darken the lights. Grab a good glass of wine. Comfortable chair close your eyes turn volume up. Close your eyes. Get lost in the music. This is the way to re listen to these gems from the 70's. Thanks for showing me the way to listen. It moves the soul. Just like the first time. The memories come flooding back some good some bad. It doesn't get any better than this. Love your reviews and to see your reactions. They have me in tears

Indeed! I would add Roger Daltrey, too.

So picture this. 1979 Texas Jam, 102,000 people in the cotton bowl, Its night Boston comes on as the huge pipe organ rises out of the stage with fog rolling off the stage as Tom has this long cape and playing it. Chill bumps. At the end the American Flag goes off in fireworks. It was awesome. Boston, in my top 5 bands of all time.

[@chrismuratore7084]

Just found you guys yesterday and I have to say your taste is impeccable! That's the stuff I listen to all the time. Boston gives me goose bumps.

[@bevyboyer2653]

The sound of the guitar that you are referring to that is in this song and is used in Nirvana, Teen Spirit is called a dead strum where they mute the strings while continuing to strum the rhythm. There are a lot of cool, rhythmic things done with dead strums. It’s used in America’s music. You can hear it especially in Tin Man, and in the middle of Stairway to Heaven….

[@gospelpopsoulman]

1976, the Bicentennial. In my opinion the greatest year in rock music. Boston, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton, Bad Company, Blue Oyster Cult, Heart, Steely Dan, Steve Miller Band, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Eagles, Rush, Boz Scaggs and the Doobie Brothers would all release killer, classic albums in 1976. Unfortunately, on the horizon was the darkness we would come to know as Disco which would pollute the airwaves for the next 3-4 years.

[@karlschmitt6359]

I agree with you about disco polluting the airwaves! I know I'll probably get flack from this, but rap is worse in my opinion! I agreed with all of your classic rock bands you listed with the exceptions of Fleetwood Mac and Queen; I've never been a fan of either of those groups.

For me it's *just* pre-teen. My older brother had 8-tracks of this Boston album, Styx (Pieces of Eight), Eagles, Kansas.... My mom would let him play them when we went places and omg, this music. It just takes me back. (I still find myself waiting for the fade-out/track-change/fade-in sometimes).

[@rogerbyington5640]

I was only 10 years when this song came out . I was at a young age getting into music. My dad was playing guitar for Barbara Mendrel and Mell Tilles and other famous country stars. He played in clubs in Germany for the G I's stationed in germany . l like country music from the the past but nowadays it's what it just to be. I listene to classic rock and heavy metal. But Boston is still one of my favorite bands.
