FIRST time SEEING Boston - A Man I'll Never Be!! These dudes are too good

[@laurenval2370]

Brad Delp...RIP. You had the most fabulous voice in music...hands down

[@stevenewcomer8837]

I’ve been waiting for you to cover this. I listened to this song many times while sitting with my daughter for 3 weeks and 1 day in hospice care until she passed away on March 9, 2023. I felt I could not be the man (Dad) that I needed to be for my little girl. I felt helpless. Ironically, Boston singer Brad Delp died on the same day. March 9th (2007). Thank you for reacting.

[@kennethbartlett4302]

Dude as a dad with two daughters I couldn't imagine going through that at all. Sorry for your loss.

[@gwydion56]

"Foreplay/Longtime" is just the one you HAVE to review next. There are no bad Boston songs, though.

[@KennethSavage-nn2vv]

R.I.P. Brad Delp one of the most underrated vocalist in Rock & Roll. Great reaction and review 👊🏻

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Watch ever time he hears a Boston song he's going to say "this is going in the play list" yep, Boston is that great.

[@kevinmorrell4155]

The most underrated band of all time. Their sound is so pure. Can hear two seconds of one of their songs and know it’s them. RIP BRAD DELP… thank you for the memories and everlasting music 🙏

[@kennycab3374]

Agree

[@jdbroders64]

Boston was the first rock concert I ever saw to just after their debut album came out. They sounded just as good live as on the album. It was incredible. Speaking of their debut album, Boston, it's a Rock masterpiece. Every song is a banger. Foreplay/Longtime, Rock and Roll Band, Smokin', Gonna Hitch a Ride, Peace of Mind, More than a Feeling, heck the whole album. It's just killer.

[@333perfection]

My very first concert was SWEET and FOGHAT. But my second concert was the famous BOSTON!!!!!! They are so damn good. What a night. They are so unique. Thanks for your comment. Diane in PA 🌷

[@tomsilk1235]

I grew up in this era. Boston is in my top 5 bands. Under appreciated for sure

[@dwaynechamberlain3.568]

This is the singles version. wait until you listen to the 7 minute plus album version. epic guitar solos!

[@kriskammeraad3955]

Just cut to the chase and put Boston's first 2 albums on your playlist. You won't be disappointed.

[@beckyhoover1780]

All of them !

[@robmcgrath5202]

Agreed. But you have to add the Walk On suite (all four tracks on a row), it rocks.

[@thegooniverse495]

RIP Brad Delp. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He used to sing for a local Beatles cover band and I used to go check them out all the time. He would just hang out and talk with people for hours on end. He had so many cool stories and was so nice all the time.

[@petercocolla2759]

There Debut Album is the best debut Album of all time. Every song on there is 🔥

[@brewswillis9783]

It's actually volume one of their greatest hits.

[@tinadarst5928]

He was truly amazing. I think a lot of us seventies people who listen to him back then didn't realize just how amazing his voice was. ❤😢❤

I still get goosebumps at 60 years old we had great music

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Brad Delp [R.I.P.] is one of the (and possibly THE BEST, ever!) vocalists, ever. At all!💜🔥 🤘🤘 Unchallenged. Every vocal note on the debut album and Don't Look Back is HIM! He double-tracked, sang harmonies, shit people think is a guitar line or harmony is, in fact: all Brad Delp. Bless this man ! 💜💜💜💜🔥 [R.I.P.]

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

I was 16 when Boston's 1st album came out .... along with Van Halen's 1st album and I think Journey Infinity. ... I think this is my fav Boston song.

[@mavfin8720]

I was only 7, but I was in college when they toured for Third Stage, so I did get to see them live before Brad was gone.

[@SusanFritz-v7i]

More Than a Feeling is another outstanding song

[@lt54iceman]

The album BOSTON From Boston. Every song on it is a major hit...

[@elizabethklaver7404]

I'm a huge Boston fan. I'm 64 so I took the long ride with them. Something no one ever brings up when they react to Boston is the album covers. Once you see it you'll never unsee it.

[@333perfection]

It's 1979, was a high school senior. Our ART teacher instructed our class to paint a cool picture. Anything really. ( Of course respectable). My decision was the Boston guitar/space ship logo from the album cover. I really took my time on it, and my Father made a frame for it. Teacher actually put it in the York Fair art exhibit and it won a Blue ribbon!!! My picture rocked , but not nearly as the FAMOUS ROCK GROUP BOSTON. They are loved forever. A huge fan in Hanover, PA

[@juliestogner2542]

For a good rocking tune....SMOKIN

[@333perfection]

Oh my YES!! You are so right 👍🎶😁

[@monica12386]

My dad saw them in the 1980's and said they sound almost exactly the same as they did on the radio. I saw them in the 2000's a few years after Brad Delp passed away 🥺. They were still good but not the same without his unbelievable legendary vocals. RIP Brad Delp

[@kathyw2355]

They had a sound that can't be copied. Between his voice and that guitar was Boston's sound. They were the first band I saw in person with the friends and not parent chaperoned❤ in Chicago

[@Chevymetal69z28]

One of my favorite songs too. I'd suggest "Something about you", "Party", "Feelin' Satisfied, "Hitch a Ride" and many others.

[@castlew4162]

This is one of my favorite songs. It was an awesome experience when Tom and Brad did this "unplugged" when I saw them in 1995. The meaning is open to interpretation, but to me "this dream you see" is her perception of him through her lens of love. He will never be the man she sees because that would be impossible no matter how hard he tries. He loves her and that is why he has tried so hard to live up to what she sees. He "can't get any stronger" and "can't climb any higher". He tells her to "hold a little tighter" - i.e. try to get us closer emotionally, and maybe that will be enough. Maybe she'll realize her unattainable expectations. At the end the character seems to change a little, and he's looking to "find a way" to feel like the man she sees. He can't keep hiding his feelings, and I would hope he doesn't and tells her how he feels; and of course she'll be fine with how he really is. Doesn't everyone that is truely in love perceive someone more than that person sees in themselves.

[@karenwheeley5539]

Check out Let me take you home tonight. Love that song.

Boston songs: foreplay, peace of mind, don't look back, star spangled banner, hitch a ride, Amanda... so many good ones!

Happy heavenly birthday Brad Delp. You are missed so much! Try " More than a feeling " next. Great tune!!! ❤

[@deniackeridge5273]

He did that about 10 days ago. Check it out😊

[@BB-yh5rd]

Saw these dudes in the 1990s sitting on the slopes of a ski resort in the summer. Boston is an incredible band, total perfectionists, they sounded as good live as they do on the albums. I was a wanderer for the first 30 years of my life, went a lot of places in the world doing random stuff, never made much money but I'd always go to live music anywhere I was and discovered lots of great stuff I never would have heard about otherwise.

[@Chical209]

The first two Boston albums are masterpieces, and timeless. Boston has been my ride or die band since the late 70's. As many times as I have listened to them, it never gets old. Later albums are a different story.

[@larzakalazerath6655]

probably my favorite Boston song is 1A) "Hitch a Ride" 1B) "Smokin' " but Dam, that whole first album (self entitled "Boston") is so fire. Just one of those albums that every song is a banger.

[@timlawrence2759]

Hitch a Ride! Hard to say one is a favorite with a catalog like theirs, but I agree, Hitch a Ride is my favorite too. The "dual" guitar outro solo at the end is next level.

[@larzakalazerath6655]

@@timlawrence2759 so right and it's just got such a great groove. The lyrics speak to me as well.

Great reaction. Yes, Foreplay is a must and Rock and Roll Band too

[@1949rgs]

This has always been my favorite Boston song. Great choice.

[@mavfin8720]

I saw them do this song live in the spring of 1988. The venue is now a parking lot, and, of course, Brad Delp is no more. RIP, Brad. Don't forget to check out the organ in the stage set. The Third Stage tour concert setup was pretty interesting.

[@frankenfurter58]

That's the year I saw them, too. I was passing thru Calgary, Alberta in Canada and discovered they were playing there, so I made sure I saw them. One of the absolute best concerts I ever went to. It was an experience.

[@RealChrisinAZ]

One of the best rock bands of all time!

[@TonyCallaway]

For me it’s like a demanding love which begs for a very high level love , when love should be as a it comes , because love is about giving instead of demanding or asking for. You’re a expecting a type of love you think I can give but in just can give Love as it is! Brad it’s part of my childhood music. A legend !!

[@christinahilt2978]

Boston’s music is almost always playlist worthy. Even their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was impressive.

[@franklinearwood193]

I saw them in NC in 1976 after they releashed the first album. That whole album was the best!!

[@docdurdin]

"Foreplay/Longtime" Is a MEGA_HIT, you will love it.

[@LeeSurber]

Another band that makes my top 10 of all time list..!! Boston never released a bad song..!! A greatest hits album would simply be every song they ever played..!! That sound will never be reproduced..!! Don't worry about the views, they'll come with this kind of music because it's all us older folks that are viewing..!! You're not late to the party, you were completely absent from it..!! Glad to see older people driving ratings that force you to listen to the greatest music ever performed..!! I graduated in 86 and I would go back in a heartbeat to relive it if I could..!! Simple times with a much higher quality of life than we live today..!!

[@333perfection]

Perfectly said 👍🎶😁

[@mondecello]

I saw them in 94 with Brad Delp. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

foreplay/longtime is a must. Longest intro ever and the best. Thanks cuz Boston is underrated as a super band.

[@kevinehle6637]

Foreplay/Longtime a top tier resctor song. Also a top 5 rock song....ever IMO!!!

[@ronlyster5667]

Tom Scholz always looks like such a proud papa ... which I guess is totally justifiable considering the origins of Boston. Such a legend!!

[@anniem4026]

This is one of my all-time favorite Boston songs thank you

I still remember that Third Stage starts with Amanda, and ends with Hollyann, but few know the 2nd one, it seems.

Nice! I haven't heard this song in decades. Wow! That chorus takes me back (to my youth in the 1970s). It's really good to hear this again. -- Thanks, BP!

[@brigid4815]

For me this song is father child relationship…❤

[@frankenfurter58]

It could be that, too. For me it was more romantic related. But that's the beauty of lyrics. They can have different meanings, for different people.

[@douglasg.9271]

Thank you for going a little deeper into this band than other reactors do. This is great stuff.

[@mattblatchley2061]

[@mikeharris3733]

Thank you for doing this one. I don't know if it's because of comments or what, but most reactors don't do this one and it's a shame. It's one of their top songs. Foreplay/ Long Time is the shizz. Prepare to have your mind blown.

[@kennethbartlett4302]

Maybe the most underrated looked over songs in rock history. I saw you were reacting to this and was here in a flash. One of my favorites.

[@timlawrence2759]

Literally any song on their first album is a banger. Every single one of them got (and some still get) significant radio airplay. That album is in the running for best debut rock album ever. As others have suggested, Foreplay/Longtime should probably be next. "Hitch a Ride" is probably my favorite of theirs, and you should definitely hit that too. Enjoying your reactions to the songs I grew up with. Keep it up, and don't worry about changing anything, Just keep keeping it real.

[@terefiori6903]

Yes, FOREPLAY is a must. Please!!

[@JamesDatWork]

and you MUST do the studio version ... no LIVE nonsense, you need to hear the real studio version.

[@PatCoppock]

Listen to Smokin', it was one of my favorites from Boston.

[@jbird40jc]

What a great band. This live performance is almost spot on to the original! Love Boston❤

[@sethbaruti]

Brad Delp is, for my money, the most underrated singer ever. Though he never was one for fame, he should be as well known as Freddie. Brad has all the range, and with what I think is a smoother, better tonal quality.

[@jayman58016]

Brad Delp is god level vocals but no one mentions Barry Godreau with his stellar back up vocals. He's got some serious pipes also

[@sammymarcy6029]

More than a feeling is a great one

The tragedies of artists such as these hurts those of us who were listening to them back in the day, too.

[@williamreiser3118]

Yes you're right I at least got to see them twice once with brad delp And once with a newer lineup in the early 2000s both times great, but Brad was the best.But when I saw him the second time they had a female acoustic guitar flute Bass player Another rhythm guitar player.The band always pays tribute to Brad.But this new guy that played Rhythm. Guitar he could sing up there too

[@stevebradley6275]

I am glad that you picked this song to react to. Hopefully if you add this song to your playlist you get the full studio version of the song rather than the abridged version from this video. The studio version of this song is a little over six and a half minutes, and includes a wonderful guitar solo that was omitted on this shortened version.

[@pollynicklas5220]

This has to be one of my favorite Boston tunes! This was never commonly played on the radio though! Infortunately this is a cut version! Try Feelin Satisfied, Something About You (actually the entire debut album is great), Foreplay/ Long Time, many more! Speaking about great 70's bands, check out some Peter Frampton off his album Frampton Comes Alive, an album that most of my friends had at the time it seemed!
