Boston - Rock & Roll Band (Official Audio)

I am 63 this month and still play this as loud as I can in my car...lol! Boston's music is timeless and will be played for generations to come.

One of the cleanest, well mixed, albums ever and it's just HIT after HIT after HIT. Absolutely insane

And it was recorded in a home built studio in a basement. One guy. He had to hire the signer and the rest of the band in order to play shows!!

[@gloriacolvard1486]

Yes they were.loved Boston

[@pennstatefan]

And RIP John Thomas "Sib'' Hashian. The reason why it sounds so clean was the fact that Tom Scholz was not only the one to record all the tracks in his garage in Boston, he engineered the recording of the record. But more importantly, he was a perfectionist guitarist, song writer, and more importantly, he has a master's in electrical engineering from MIT. So, naturally, he wanted the album to be perfect technically and musically. As it turns out, this is the greatest debut album in the history of music.🎸

This and the rest of the songs on the album written by Tom in his basement apartment recording studio, which he built by himself. A song literally predicting how the world was going to be blown away once they heard what he had made. What an artist. What a genius. What a scientist. What a prophet…a song with built in sounds of crowds going crazy, before anyone had even heard the first notes of these songs. Scary-crazy-great. Hired Brad to sing his lyrics. Tom knew he needed a great voice; so he found one. Tom played all the parts: acoustic, rhythm, lead guitars, bass, organ, song writer, sound engineer, etc., etc. truly astounding how this album came to us. Tom and Brad hired excellent musicians later; so they could play the songs live. What? Just, wow.
