[@keithgossage90]

I got to see and hear Brad Delp 3 months before he left us. He and the band were spot on!!!

[@williardbillmore5713]

Delp was singing at the very top of his range in many of these songs. Notes he hit with full voice in the studio he had to break into falsetto to hit in a live performance. Knowing when to do that and doing it as smoothly as Delp did show how in touch with his vocal capabilities he really was. A true professional and a great vocal artist.

[@icatz]

Just throwing this out there .. but this looks like a sound check and Brad is holding back on the vocals to save them for the actual show.

[@roberttippett3733]

No. The truth is he really couldn’t hit those notes. If he did, he was using falsetto or had a bunch of help from Scholtz.

I saw Boston in May 1977. I was astonished how they reproduced their sound live. Especially Delp's vocals. He was spot on that night. He seems a bit tired on this video. But still a great job. Singing is hard to be perfect at because its a physical and emotional exercise. And somedays are better than others. To hit those notes like the record you need your A game. When you're touring that's hard to pull off. Yet the show must go on. Anyway Brad's range and tone were not of this world. Wish he was still singing on this planet.

Was working in a record store when this came out. Remember opening the store copy and putting it on. The store owner said : This is the first album I have ever heard where every song is a guaranteed top radio single. And it was. It charted forever and you could not keep it in stock. Just came out of nowhere. Never heard of them before that Tuesday, by the end of the week they were the biggest thing around. Just a perfectly produced album from top to bottom. Made in a guys basement. Before I ever saw them I thought: How in the hell are they going to reproduce those vocals on stage? That range is impossible!

[@JOHNWLOUCKS]

Rob; that is interesting. My brother worked in the largest record store in Rochester, ny when someone from Epic dropped off the record and asked them to play it in the store to see what kind of feedback they got. I remember him calling me after the first time it was played and he was going nuts saying the album was going to be a monster. My brother being a musician was just on heaven with those guitar riffs. It sounds great even today.

[@walterkoziol3822]

@@JOHNWLOUCKS and the reason it still sounds really good even now, the musicians from the 50s all the way the 80s they were all artists. Nowadays, most of your bands just don't get it. Almost all they want is to make a fast buck without the effort and cause of that their music has no feeling or depth. I have two nephews that have pretty much given up to music of today. I told them if you want some to hear something that will blow your minds check out the album Boston by Boston, especially the song called More Than A Feeling. They were freaking out. Besides, it's extremely rare to get a band to fill up a stadium with a 65,000 or greater capacity.

[@crcurley]

The problem with anyone, even Brad trying to sing this song live, is that he originally sang it in a very relaxed and somewhat soft manner, with multiple overdubbed vocal tracks. Brad definitely had a one of a kind voice, but it was hard to reproduce live because it was very complex and relied on involved multiple backing vocals needed to create the sound the album produced. However, Brad Delp is definitely one of the most underrated singers in rock history. RIP Brad.

[@stephenhedge2489]

He could hit a High E note at full power but day after day would take its toll.

[@rikk319]

Underrated? He was rated in the top three male rock vocalists of all time, only ranked below Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury.

[@Brirend]

The difference is, when you are in the studio cutting an album, you are there for a limited amount of time. You can also multi-track in the studio. When you are on tour, you are singing everything possibly multiple times a day. This recording looks like a sound check. During Journey's Escape tour in '81, Steve Perry went on total vocal rest when he wasn't on stage. He didn't even speak to anyone because of the strain on his voice.

[@mickeysm64]

It was hard to reproduce because on the album he sang lead and back up vocals. That's almost impossible to do live.

Scholz was not only a musical genius, he was an engineering genius who earned two degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, in Cambridge, Mass. Scholz later became famous for inventing The Rockman. The Rockman was the original battery powered and portable personal guitar amplifier. You simply plugged the tiny Rockman into your electric guitar output jack and then plugged your headphones into The Rockman. This was the first device that let you walk around your apartment while playing your guitar as loud as you want to - without disturbing your next door neighbors. Well done Mr. Scholz and RIP Mr. Delp.

Brad Delp has to be in the very top tier of lead rock vocalists in history....one of my absolute favorites! Every time I hear Boston, I mourn his passing again but know he’d want everyone to remember him by his music. Boston’s guitar sound is like no other & simply genius!

[@gregoryhall3156]

Brad Delp and Steve Perry (of Journey) were the quintessential Rock God vocalists of the 1970s-1980s--each of them “the voice” of epic rock bands.

There is a magic on this track, hardly achieved by many bands before or since. Not only was Boston an exceptional compilation of excellent musicians, but to reproduce that on stage was just STUNNING... Especially when the band goes on the jam afterwards, just magical. My personal favorite part is Fran Sheehan going off on the bass during that jam; a true artist who really loves to jam with his band. And the vocals - its true - are very difficult to reproduce, especially night after night. Never to be seen again.

Love your enthusiasm and the thoroughness of your analysis.

If Tom Schultz name were in the dictionary the description beside his name would most likely read "Musical Genious" From engineering the sounds to playing all the instrument parts and recording, to finding one of the greatest voices ever recorded in Brad Delp who, it could be said, put the perfect voice over "More Than A Feeling". Brad was living in Atkinson, New Hampshire when he passed away. I drove past his house when I heard of his passing and felt such sorrow. Not only did he have a great voice, but he was such a personable person that spoke to everyone wearing that warm smile. I often think if I had known he was so lonely, I may have stopped by and friended him. He lived only a short way from me. RIP Brad. And now Sib is gone also. Hopefully they are playing music up there. Thanks for this video. Amazing

Man these boys are awesome. I absolutely love Boston. I grew up listening to them.

[@jimmy5634]

I remember when I first heard this on the radio...man I got goose bumps.

[@bobbydale1938]

Thks ! Another great commentary ! Iam glad i was blessed to see so many of the Bands and artists you review 😍 It was all new and mind blowing and fresh at the time- HS Class of 1975 So.Cal

[@heartstringssound-Doug]

Spot on Fil as usual! Thanks for doing the review on Boston! What a fantastic band both from musicality and technologically wise. Tom was/is such a genius inventor.

[@windwoman3549]

OMG! I used to sign out a cassette player at the library in jr. high & listen to this on a loop until the bell rang! Great song, great band. I miss the ‘70s & ‘80s! Thanks for the video, Fil!

[@debbie995]

Another thing that impresses me is how they keep the tempo so steady; it could be so easily rushed by any member of the band at any time. As a drummer myself, I can appreciate how well-rehearsed this is, as you said Fil. And thank you for talking about Brad's vocal in this performance vs his vocal talent. He's one of my favorite vocalists and deserves every accolade. Thank you so much for this analysis! I love Boston! :D

[@patti9339]

The first concert I went to was Boston in 1979 when I was 14! It was great.

[@marshallderriek1858]

When this came out it was the most unique sound that was ever heard.. and the vocals also .. we were blown away on the entire album

[@serendipity9987]

Thank you for doing this video. I can remember being 14 or 15 years old and this song came out. I absolutely loved it! I would actually cry at times when I heard it. It made me feel so good. Boston will always be one of my favorite bands. Tom is one of the most underrated guitarist ever imo. Feeling Satisfied is another Boston favorite of mine. I miss these days so much.

[@scottaberle8684]

I love to see your smile when GREAT artists make you want to cry with their art :o) You Rock!!!!!! This was one of the first albums I ever owned.

[@paulagwhyte1720]

Wow, they were amazing! Every time I hear it, I get more than a feeling. I want to cheer, cry, sing, I don't know....my younger sons almost groan, they know it's going to blast it and I'm going to sing, possibly cry! I mean, he did sing the the notes that high, just blended the high notes with high guitar. And the guitars. This band, wow. Xx. They should have been higher everywhere than every other band!

[@izregistered]

I had the pleasure of going to a Boston concert years ago and Delp nailed it.

[@perseapolaris9015]

Hi,Fil..! What a joy to see you again..!!✨i rediscover Boston, -"More than a feeling i " and I really like going back to it,.very moved..!🧚you make us Dreams.! Sweet thrill, Fil..! 💌✨🏹🎸

[@williambrooks276]

Fil you really understand the many aspects of difficulty that true musicians have to deal with especially with the upward trajectory drive when trying to push an album live and explaining to us the pressures and actual work to perform like it is on the album behind in this case remarkably groundbreaking production. Thank you Fil for your expertise in dissecting this performance.

[@musicalSFCat]

This was the only time saw Boston during their "Don't Look Back" tour in the S.F. Bay area as a young teen. Half the crowd left because of the unexpected weather, during their set (started to rain). Those who left certainly missed out on a great gig. Classic band and unique sound, due to the heart and musical genius of Tom Scholz, legendary Brad Delp on vocals (R.I.P.).

[@denniswilson9367]

OMG my fav song ever, my fav singer ever! I saw a video of that tiny little basement studio one time...it's just nuts to think about how an album of that magnitude was created in that space. Tom was a genius, Brad was just amazing.

[@Sparkly-Unicorn]

I love the knowledge and insight you bring to this band and the song!! Well said!!

[@cooldudemark]

R.I.P. Brad Delp and Sib Hashian. Two great musicians who helped shape the Boston sound.

[@noname1st139]

I've never payed attention to that guitarist untill now, bloody Epic 👏

I was from New Hampshire and we all loved our great Boston bands. A lot of the members as well as Aerosmith had weekend homes in NH. You would frequently run into all these guys. I

[@stephens9462]

Cherry Snow same here. Brad was living in Atkinson when he died if memory serves me correctly. Godsmack is another band with NH roots.

[@HermesNinja]

Still wending my way through your back catalog of videos and enjoying every single one. Just showed this one to my husband, who actually attended this concert when he was a kid! Thanks for the memories, Fil!

[@GeorgeLiquor]

RIP Brad Delp. Pretty weird how he went out

[@joycevance3078]

I bought this album. I was a huge fan, I LOVE THEIR music still.
