Started a new job in 1976…..I was 18 yrs old….car pooled with my high school buddy everyday…..and played these guys and this song as loud as we could stand…..we are both retired now and laugh about it all the time when we see each other….good stuff…..rock on Brad Delp….you are missed!!

[@erdam5016]

When I read this I imagined you guys rocking out to this jam

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Wasn't expecting the bass player to steal the show! ;) haha. Awesome.

[@PitchIncorrection]

Literally! Took over the entire mix, hahaha.

[@BrandonCrapo]

Probably the most positive boston tune. Such great lyrical composition too

[@terrencerohm9773]

That bassist f-ing rocks.

[@geraldrustick7966]

That Fran Sheehan was a beast on the bass man just rocking out like he’s the only one there such a great bassist

[@richardwilson9560]

The head banging bassist is bad to the bone! Every time I hear Boston I think about cruising in my1971 Super Bee! Wish I still had it!😞

[@kingdommanlegacyministries7769]

Wish I still had my ‘66 Mustang & ‘69 Grand Prix Graduated in ‘76… we had the best music back then

[@heavyalliance]

Probably the most underrated bass player ever! Phrasing, melody, and feel are second to none!

[@zackmaestri4075]

Mick Mars (guitarist of Mötley Crüe) is pretty underrated too even though Fran Sheehan is a bass player

[@mjklein]

But, Tom played the parts on the album.

[@joshv5376]

Drummer is more underrated then the bassist.

[@deadshot4245]

Tom sholtz always killing it

[@soloslave1985]

The vocals are also highly underrated.... I didn’t know he had this tonal control.

[@ltthomas4195]

I was there, it poured rain during the support band(The Outlaws).. everyone ran for cover,,. The old Giants stadium had no roof, But the sun came out and so did Boston, and delivered one of my greatest memories of my life

[@stevejackson4872]

Im so jealous! I grew up in Alaska, very rare to see any band in the 70s. When this album debuted I was walking down a frontier road cassette and head phones, sun was out and the music really took me away! I still remember how great Boston sounded!! Thanks for sharing

[@sabiantheomnivore5592]

You lucky bastard.. :}

[@fasteddie9255]

This is why I read the comments

[@albertdefabritus2737]

Seen them live so many times. Will never forget Peace of Mind. Greatest R&R record of all time.

[@sticklerm1667]

surprised to hear they were the headliner since it was light out, and since the audience seems very subdued, like they were waiting for something else

[@franknance3431]

No backing tracks, no midi, no auto tune and no mistakes! That's a real rock band! Sample that! RIP Brad Delp.

[@loveconquersall143]

Frank Nance Hell yessss!!!! 👍👌❤ RIP Brad Delp - indeed 😢

[@threalismaradona9899]

[@MikeSmith-qv5yc]

I thank God that we had Brad Delp for as long as we did. RIP, Brad!

[@70sRefugee]

Brad is awesome, but Fran stole the show on this tune.

[@TheAce24]

Brad Delp, by far, has the most distinctive I’ve ever heard. Boston’s debut album remains to this day one of the best albums ever created. Rest in peace, Brad. You are sorely missed in the world, but I truly hope you found the peace you couldn’t in life.

[@Jahnu8]

damn that bass is rockin!

[@TheRash12]

no he's just playing normally like any bassist but just because its way louder than the guitar you feel like he's rockin

[@Jahnu8]

Darth. Vader mmkay well 32 people beg to differ...

[@TheRash12]

so you mean 32 people dont know shit about music

[@LiquidLightning1]

Outstanding Bass Player! In the Groove !

[@12B4Christ]

Your talent level has revealed itself for the whole world to view. Are you proud of yourself Dark Vapor? Anyone who knows ANYTHING about Boston knows Fran the bassist is adding sweet technical touches all over the place in this tune and other tunes that vary from the commercial LP/radio cuts.I have this idea it may those "32" who DO know a little bit about music and "Boston" and just you who may be the odd man out.You would do well to listen and read harder, maybe in particular about this musical background bassist, as his live riffs are very tasteful and without distracting from the Scholz Boston sound.Now, get back to your fantasy movies so you will comment less on things you do not know.

[@davidhandy2752]

I am tired of people saying that these guys were a great studio band, but only sounded "so-so" live. You can hear the passion and artistry pouring out of them. I always liked this song and the riff in particular (which I think is amongst the best hooks of all time), but never gave a second thought to the bass line until now. Frannie's play here was amazing and added an extra layer to an already "rich" sound. Early 70s to mid 8os was a sweet spot in rock back when musicians and not performers took center stage.

[@nonsense1558]

David Handy, great points and this was 1979, long before we had the technical wizardry that bands could use when playing live to enhance their sound. They sound pretty damn awesome here, and I guarantee you if they were around today they would be blowing other classic rock bands out of the water!

[@millerezra8]

I agree this is much better than I was expecting from everything I’ve heard about Boston live

[@nicholascummins9946]

It's good but unlike the recording alot of the really high parts are not full voice.

[@rondanorris5504]

I love love love your comment.

[@Joshua-gu5nj]

I was born in '88, and I'm just realizing this now. These people were amazing! What happened to us? The music they created is so wonderful!

[@navyryder]

That’s some great headbangin from the bass player!!!🤘🏼

[@tristanperez211]

damn that bassist was head banging in 1979

[@amirmoises1097]

Tristan Perez No shit

[@loveconquersall143]

And his neck is probably cactus now!! Lols ;)

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

ozzy was headbanging in 1970 what's your point

[@antonematos6241]

Buddy Holly was head banging on the Ed Sullivan Show when he played Oh Boy

[@sheatiller2465]

He must've been on something

[@70sRefugee]

Fran is simply SMOKIN' that Fender ! You young kids take note, this is what talent looks like.

[@Austinc308]

15yo here man and Ive been playing for 3 years now :) Btw nothing beats the classics: Queen, Boston, Led Zep, ACDC, Ozzy (Randy Rhoads is my personal favorite) and of course Metallica and GNR! Hope this comment gives you some hope for the future of music.

I should mention I play guitar not bass I didnt wanna get yall confused

[@josephtaylor1068]

Man I love Boston, these songs make ya feel good, this is real talent!

[@walterjr.steinert6054]

It's too bad that there is not much '76--'79 live Boston on KZbin. Great stuff here, amazing but short-lived. Awesome song writing and performances. RIP Brad, you were One Of A Kind Incredible.

[@aliceinchainz3003]

this is what i remeber and how i want to remember them just like this

[@Elidoransgar]

Peace of Mind has always been my favorite Boston song. Unlike that other song, it will never get old.

[@thebigcountry8518]

Bass Players to me, always seem to just fade back in a group and always looks like the bored musician in the band propped up by a broom handle...Not this Cat ! Not only can he play,and play awesome..but he's seen ROCKIN'. This has and always will be my favorite band. When I was in High School and having one of those teenager blue mood days. In the evening I would hop in my truck. Drive the section line (4 square miles of gravel road and barbwire lined hay fields) listening to Boston full volume. By the time I got back home. My spirits were lifted and my blue mood was gone :) They still to this day... lift me up !

[@efrenjaramillo6736]

This was one of the first bass lines I learned and it still hits my spine. I can't get through it without laughing. These were GREAT times to be in highschool.

[@rondanorris5504]

Love your comment too. Boston does wonders for me too. I'm emotional just reading these comments ~

[@randykellogg661]

It’s a shame there’s not better quality live video out there for this band from back in the day. Even with crappy quality you can hear how tight and powerful they were live.

[@eddieaguilar644]

When i'm tired i'm thinking cold i hide in my music forget all day....thank you BOSTON ❤

[@MattTexas]

That bassist is layin it down. Pretty awesome stuff.

[@jenniferharper3158]

never gets old to me! I'm in my 40's and my Dad introduced me to Boston when I was a kid. now, we go see them together every time they come to our town. it's certainly not the same without Brad Delp - fortunately i did get to see him before he passed. i've now introduced my 10 yr old daughter to them and she's a huge fan too! next concert, she's going too!

[@atabish3031]

[@drumlover1687]

Brad Delp RIP Brother. Even gone your still better than most singers still breathing.

[@TheOldMainGuy]

This, Amanda, More than a feeling, and Foreplay/long time are my favorite Boston songs. Such an amazing, authentic band that I wish got way more credit than it has. Also, how the heck are they not in the rock and roll hall of fame?

+Flysouthfilms, just expressing how much I loved them. Led Zep's body of work is an encyclopedia. Boston's was a great short story.

[@adventurecapitalist5001]

in my opinion, a rock band of all times. who else can make guitars sing? there are times when singing stops and let's the guitars sing. in my opinion, this is a one-of-a-kind, once in history event. When making hero live shows with a band that knows how to play guitar.

[@blink0r]

Let's not forget about Thin Lizzy. Just like Boston, they were a highly talented but greatly underrated rock band. Much love to both of them!

[@michelvazquez8615]

Its simple, those guys are really enjoying what they are doing.Its called passion.

[@michaellyle8819]

soooo let me get this straight, ABBA is in the rock and roll hall of fame but Boston is not? WTF people? I guess creating arguably the best ever debut rock album selling more than 17 million copies is not quite good enough but hey "dancing queen" is the shit man!

[@richardthomas2607]

The rock and roll hall of fame is nothing short of a joke anymore. Its all money driven as everything else is. Neither disco or rap or anything else that doesnt have the word rock in it should never have been allowed to enter but thats too late so the R&R HOF is essentially no longer that and more like music hall of shame call a dog a dog please.
