BOSTON The Launch - Cool the Engines

[@damirlakovic5352]

When I listen to Boston, all my neighbors listen to Boston.

[@XoonJones]

My new wife and I entered our wedding reception together to The Launch. It was badass.

[@alyssaw1339]

WonderTwins I think you just gave me an idea for my future wedding!

[@jusnuts1443]

I honestly can't remember what was played, or if anything was played upon entering my wedding reception. Of course, that was over 26 years ago and I had open heart surgery almost 8 years ago. My memory is shot! But... I DO remember our wedding night! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, Hot!

[@robertillingsworth4928]

That's Awesome dude!

How many people can say that bro.Kick-ass!

[@davidlake8008]

How could anyone HATE on this song? This is an absolute undisputed anthem for the third album!!!!!

[@aeromamakinforever]

you are so right !

[@VERTAIR7]

+David Lake Totally agree...ive loved every note Boston ever played & the whole concept of this album as the continuation to the first two is beyond comparison in Rock history

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Too good to be heard ALMOST..but almost only counts with hand grenades..

[@jasonw6974]

Sweet!!!

Some people are just miserable and unhappy. That's the only way you could dislike this.

[@peterlyon2796]

If you're from the old days, then you love Boston. What your listening to is pure rock and roll

[@independentliberty9628]

By far one of my dad's favorite bands from his youth. I grew up listening to him rattle the house with boston. I still love this music.

As the saying goes, " I don't often listen to Boston, but when I do, so do the neighbors"

[@1jamiecarr]

I absolutely love Cool The Engines by Boston. This song reminds me when my deceased husband and I were dating. We always had fun together . I love and miss you. Happy Birthday on the 26th of July. He would have been 50.

[@777antlers]

Ha! That’s my birth date too. Only 1971. Awesome song...glad it reminds you of him.

[@dwainsellers6453]

Sorry for your loss there music reminds me of a lot of good times growing up I hope it brings the good memories back to you as well.

[@johnpickelheimer4782]

I agree

[@timdankson5049]

As a fan of Boston and a former NASA engineer, this video is an excellent pairing with this song.

[@scottbatson8721]

Indeed! 👍👍♥️

[@cz4259]

Brad Delp's vocals are amazing. What a range. Boston would have been nothing without him. R.I.P.

[@aeromamakinforever]

[@autoxsteve]

In 1983 my best man and I got up at 2:am and headed to Edwards Air Force Base to see Columbia land. We heard the sonic booms and then saw it appear as the Sun was rising. Due to the sun just coming up, all of the white on the Shuttle was orange. We then scedaddled to Cal State Northridge to get to our Thermodynamics class. We were late. The Professor, Dr. Sidney Schwartz called us on the carper and said he was glad we joined but asked why we were late. We told him we had just came back from seeing the Space Shuttle land. We instantly turned into heroes as he was one of the lead Engineers in designing the Space Shuttle Engines..... We totally hijacked the class for that day.Amazing technology and dedication from all involved in the Program.....

[@ghostofdeletekey]

Life is made of awesome memories, yes? :^D

DO NOT FORGET THE ENGINEERS

[@melissajackson79]

My dad was the communications expert for NASA and when comms were having issues and he got called in to a discovery launch, that was the first time something I saw gave me chills head to toe. Mission control was magic to me.

[@donna3465]

Best song on the Third Stage album!

[@richardwind2859]

The whole album

[@jeffbrochu5114]

What a great time when this band was in the limelight. Great music to go cruising on a Saturday night. Got the window down finding out where the party is. We did it right.

[@noname-jh3bd]

The best band ever to see live, hands down... They did this live, and it was absolutely amazing

[@jamesdavison2927]

Used to SHAKE OUR HOUSE playing the launch so damn loud Many many words of sympathy here for one of the most beautiful souls in rock history with a voice to match I want to add my voice to the chorus BOSTON FOREVER BRAD FOREVER

[@TcSunde33]

"The Launch" is the epitome of a grandiose epic theme that just makes you feel damn good! :)

[@GodIHateYouKenny]

Reminds me of foreplay.

[@chris55529]

Brad, you are not forgotten.

[@bobluna9488]

I'm one of the few that thinks Third Stage is Boston's best album.

$13.50, damn.🙂

[@Gatorfan30253]

I was doing a lot of Coke back when this album came out. The more i heard this song i totally thought of my Coke abuse and thought that it was talking to me about slowing my "engine"(heart) down. I became drug free ever since. Thank you Boston!!

[@Godbless_theUSA]

Gatorfan30253 god bless you.. Maybe u can thank them in person some day

[@wiredupretro]

God puts special music into our lives right when it's needed. I've lived it...

[@astonm.8173]

I used to play the launch solo (0:58) as hard as possible during my studying days in a frat house where anything was possible, nowadays I live in a quiet neighbourhood which restrains me significantly. Looking forward to move out and dust off and assemble the high end sound system I still have stored carefully. Boston is simply the best.

[@aeromamakinforever]

My whole teen years, listening to this music, cranking it up. and to put this music to video of our glorious space shuttle Atlantis? Awesome job!

If this song had been released earlier, it would have been on the heavy metal movie soundtrack. It just fits.

Incredible, Heart bustling jam, guitar-heavy crushing force playing. Since I first heard it, Love it. Thanks, Tom.

Emphatic THUMBS DOWN to every person who separates this great piece of music as two separate songs on KZbin. They should be ashamed!

[@JRPittman]

How anyone can separate them is beyond my comprehension

[@ATOMICROBOT667]

So many feelings! This video! This song! Absolutely love BOSTON…

[@zoocru67]

I remember when this dropped. Was just giddy with anticipation after so long without an album. And hearing this the first time was just incredible and worth the wait. From what I remember this song was written and recorded back in the day and had been relegated to a storage room somewhere on a deteriorating reel to reel and was almost lost to time so parts that wouldn't play had to be rewritten to complete the song. BRAVO!!

[@SteveMoore-ty5bv]

THE very best song Boston ever made! Back when they had amazing vocals and real drums!

The Launch literally feels like it's taking you into space, even without a video like this. A mind-blowing piece of music, made even more sentimental because I first heard it just a few months after the Challenger accident.

[@mrboat580]

I remember the first time I heard the first lick of Boston on the radio. Nobody warned me because nobody was really talking about them yet, and this sound was so new and unique and so well recorded. Instant hook, these guys. And then to find the entire album was good too. One of the best values in vinyl back in the day. I have been deeply entertained by this group ever since.

[@cynthiaharris664]

Excellent video in direct relation to such an AWESOME track!!! I used to get adrenaline rushes from watching Space Shuttle launches, also, as a growing child in the early Eighties and then as a teen in mid-Eighties... And I owned this album (Third Stage) on both LP & cassette tape in 1986!!!!

My best friend and I were also at the Houston stop for this concert. I never saw so many women with their teenage kids in one place.😄

[@onearmjack7914]

The part from 2:55-3:11...dam, I could watch that 100 times, and it would never get old. As Atlantis is cracking through the sound barrier with a blasting guitar, it gives the image of a guy with a mullet at the controls, hammering the throttle and screaming, "Let's see what this baby can do!!" 3:10 -"See ya!" You timed that perfectly. Good show!

[@PDXGregor]

Absolutely perfect video to go with this amazing song.

[@SgtEmissary]

To the uploader: I think the same thing here... looking at the album covers that the band has and the song titles that they have to go along with it and listening to the songs it all does make me think of space too. The music is just something I could imagine to be playing in the cosmos in some space shuttle as the shuttle and it's crew drift around in space looking at everything out there... that is the beauty of space. It really is the 'final frontier' as they say and every nation needs to have their space program because eventually we will have to colonize on another planet and when we do Boston will be some of the music that I will be playing when I'm ready to go colonize with our fellow human beings. That said: Boston has much special meaning behind them... space and the very concept of owning and operating a starship has been one of my passionate interests for awhile now. ... Sorry for the walls of text people... I just love this band and space.

[@tonycannon9877]

I am 55 years old. I grew up during this era. The best music ever hit the charts during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Where are all the new comers that were supposed to learn from those bands and put out some jams that deserve volume. Humm, think I could sue Boston for my hearing loss?? Does anyone know if Larry the Cable Guy ever get a settlement out of Husler Magazine?

Me too. Class of 85. I know what you mean. It doesn't matter if your talking about music,tractors,jet fighters,washing machines,cars... whatever.the best culminated in the 70s 80s.

[@mikesly9748]

Absolutely beautiful. As a species and as a society and as human beings we need to slow down and cool the engines. Some of us are working way too hard, it's probably the majority of us not some of us... we are being pushed way too hard. Things just need to slow down. We have to somehow simplify things.

[@jackcumbee7859]

I have this on LP and CD. As we all know, when we got the CD format all the wonderful artwork that was often on the larger LP canvas was lost or miniaturized to such a degree that many times it became irrelevant. On the inside cover of this LP is a picture of the organ used in this song. I remember reading or hearing that this organ is the largest pipe organ in the world and is in the city of Boston. It has an unbelievable sound.

This, sir, is fucking amazing. The first time I heard this song, I was 10 years old on vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, sitting on the porch of the house my family had rented, listening to my music as the sun rose. It was a truly spiritual experience that spawned a love for the seemingly eternal optimism that exists in good music and the way that optimism pushes us to explore without fear. This is like a reel of my childhood, and I thank for providing such intoxicating nostalgia.

Not a huge Boston fan, but grew up listening to them (via Mom and Dad) and was obsessed with their album art as a kid. I do love NASA, space and especially the shuttle. As an older kid now, I can really appreciate the marriage of song and this video. Nice work, and yes, good song!
