HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Boston - Foreplay/Long Time' | GENUINE REACTION

[@helenespaulding7562]

One of the best debut albums. EVER. Suggest going through the entire album. No bad songs.

[@brandonjones1349]

Aye 2nd thus statement ☘️

[@roniboyd613]

Yeah but not all at once! I don't know if he could handle it😉

[@mstorrboy]

It's a perfect album in my book.

[@KenHays-f6w]

Well, back in the day,,, Yes, i remember exactly where i was hearing the just released cassette (album) for the first time with no interruptions. That album should of had a "Warning" on the cover,,,.​@roniboyd613

[@rbbsch1]

Exactly 💯

[@cyriousvynil2433]

The deeper you get onto older rock and metal you can understand why most of us old heads can't get with today's music.

[@kali550]

Wish i could like this comment more than once.

[@dustygatrell-ru7tg]

This. Music had more heart an soul

[@daveb7730]

Absolutely correct! What hip hop song has this variety of sound, the harmony, the driving bass? (Rhetorical question...haha)

[@scottbehr5690]

This is when music was music!

[@ErinStev64]

Because in our day, music was dominated by ppl that could sing and play instruments. Now it’s computer generated and over produced

[@pommie5093]

One of the best albums ever made-it's brilliant, a masterpiece. RIP Brad Delp, one of the best singers of all time.

[@CTX700girl]

The range and clarity of his voice. 💋

[@bqcaldwell99]

🤘🏻

[@baynerman2274]

and what a mustache.

[@Drownedjetsfan1974]

The new guy is great also

[@byerenny]

​@@Drownedjetsfan1974 The guy after Brad sang in the, you might as well call it an offshoot of Boston, band Orion the Hunter. Brad helped write a large portion of the album and sang background vocals as well. Always liked their 80s song "So You Ran"

[@leahkane5774]

Tom Scholz is a musical savant. He wrote this album in his basement, played all the instruments, and actually invented equipment (which is still used today) so he could create the music as he heard it in his head. The band came afterwards and the blending of Tom's genius and Brad Delp's voice created the best debut album of all time and one of the best bands of all time. "Don't Look Back" is another corker! Keep up the great work MollyBoy

[@rbbsch1]

I still have my Hot Watt 🤘🔥🤘

[@arthurdrake3274]

And he graduated from MIT.😁🇺🇲

[@almondroca]

not quite all the instruments: he may or may not have played drum parts on his original demos (jury still seems to be out on that) but Sibby Hashian and/or Jim Masdea handled drums on the versions which made it to the debut album.

[@leahkane5774]

@@almondroca Yes, you're right! Thanks for the pick up. Apparently he point blank refuses to do interviews these days, which is a tragedy. Would love to see Rick Beato interview him.

[@almondroca]

@@leahkane5774 heartily agree, Rick B would be a great, knowledgable interviewer. the making of this album, and everything which led up to it, really is a fascinating story. but maybe Scholz feels like he's said everything he has to say about it. a mercurial dude, for sure.

[@Agg1E91]

Yep. That's how I remember it. Couldn't have said it better.

[@54fighting5]

This actually WAS a radio hit. In the 70's you could hear this song being blasted out of car radios and college dorms on a regular basis.

[@145Slap789]

Everywhere!!!

[@trina6256]

I had an old VW BUG and used to play this with all the windows down… my Dad used to be able to hear me coming home 😁…

[@Anaj-us4eo]

Boston, one of the best concerts I ever went to 1979 in San Francisco

[@JeffOnTheRoads]

Few songs or records have stood the test of time like this one either. It’s insane.

[@KipArmadillo]

I was blasting it out of my college dorm room in the nineties, too!

I am 64 years old. Can you believe this music is what I listened to when I was 17 years old in high school? We rocked at every chance we could get. I can tell you exactly who I was with, where, and when I heard this song. The best music of our time.

[@donnaduhamel6004]

Duh!!😂❤ 70

[@LivingTruthLoveLight]

I remember staying at my grandparents house when I was maybe 5. Going through my aunt's albums (she still lived at home at that time) and came across this album. Boston has some of the coolest album art, in my opinion. I have not found a song on the album yet that I do not like.

[@sarasotarebel2445]

I'm still loving this at 61. We rocked the 70's with the best bands. There is nothing better.

[@darlanilsen879]

Me too! I was 15, I remember exactly where I was and stopped in my tracks and was in awe. Spoiled brat.. ‘mom! we have to go get this album!’ We did. What a time to be alive!

8 track, 8 track, 8 track, Cassette! Not only were these in everyones' car but Boston was so new and unique EVERYONE had their windows down and were playing this album loudly in 1977, 1978 in the school parking lots. The entire first Boston album is premium. ... as others have posted, this is worthy of complete album review.

[@mchelvantx]

Thanks to my brother for buying both Boston albums in the 1970s and blasting our end of the house.

Every single song on Boston's first album is outstanding. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Please listen to all of them.

[@jimtatro6550]

I was nine years old when this album came out in 1976. Literally every song has hit the radio here in the states throughout the years. This is one of the greatest debut albums ever.

[@shortaybrown]

Yup. Had the album and listened to it nonstop in my bedroom forever. Everybody had this album.

[@haynes2799]

I was in Sixth grade & bought this album with my lawnmower money. Every song on the album is so good

[@TheGenXTeacher]

This was a huge hit on the radio. The Rock n Roll HOF has no business excluding Boston. Until they do, they can't call themselves a Hall of Fame.

[@luckylisa5496]

His face!!! I just love watching his facial expressions 😅 This remains the best selling debut album in history! What a distinction!

[@Mark-fk3ei]

It isn't the best selling debut anymore. Hootie and the Blowfish and guns and Roses overtook them. Now there are several others but this is the greatest rock albums of all time and they didn't shoot videos which at that time sold lots of albums for bands. They didn't need to!!!!

[@luckylisa5496]

@@Mark-fk3ei Wow thanks for the "updated" info - it's a shame because they imo, are better than both of the other two that you mentioned. Boston surely was something special when they came on the scene! Glad I got to witness such great music 70s/80's

[@Mark-fk3ei]

@luckylisa5496 unfortunately Tom chose not to make music videos which didn't help in the marketing of the band. Another tidbit,before they went out on the greatest hits tour they were supposed to do a photoshoot. Tom canceled 3 times before he actually did it. He doesn't like being recognized in public.

[@angelajames7917]

I don't think they ever made it into the Rock Hall of Fame, which is a true injustice. Their vocals, song writing, and instrumentals were the definition of creativity and talent.

[@robertknuist9754]

It's obscene

[@helenespaulding7562]

If I only had one album to play for someone who asked “what was rock music like in the 70’s” this is what I would play for them as an introduction. Great,solid rock. Zeppelin, Floyd and others would come after, but for a first inking of what rock was? I can’t imagine a better song……or album

[@sharona256]

This album made a huge impression on me and my friends. It was so different.

[@alexakl6445]

Those of us who grew up listening to rock-n-roll had no idea how good we had it until our older days. Because IF there is still rock-n-roll coming out, it's not being played on the radio to introduce it. SO glad you young ones are discovering it. From what I can see from reactions like yours, you guys are being blown away! What a great journey you're on - keep going!

[@scott3744]

This was a HUGE radio hit! And still is, since the first day it was played! 👍😁

[@shortaybrown]

True! Boston was ALL OVER radio in the 70s, year after year. Immortal American anthems.

[@stephanhamilton2083]

Brad Delp is easily in the top 5 best rock vocalists EVER! LOVE your reactions!! While you’re, with all due respect, a young man, you understand the greatness that you’re experiencing. Props to you for taking the time to listen! 👍👍😊😊

[@bretttodd6470]

Those spaceships on the album are guitars face down with the necks pointing away from sight. Basically the butt end or bottom of the guitar is shown facing down. I've seen that art for decades and only last year realized they aren't spaceships.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Same here. I think a damn 20 year old reactor saw it instantly and I was floored. But I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume I was high most of the time while staring at the cover with the record spinning. 🤣🤣 I'll make no assumptions for your excuse. 😎

[@jimwilcox2964]

And some ELO covers are spaceships too

[@domeshine69]

They also have domed cities on top. The one in the foreground is Boston. The others are likely Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.

They're guitars . . . and spaceships.

[@gerib4234]

Don't try to figure it out...just ride it! An entire generation would listen on a hi-fi stereo in their room with a black light and black light posters on the walls. And the album played over and over again. One of the best debut albums of all time! Also, when we were old enough to drive we played it over and over again! Boston always ROCKS! Music was everything and everywhere back then ❤️

But you forgot one thing. The fog in the room. It would be cig or weed smoke. 🙂

Brad Delp sings ALL lead, backing, and harmony vocals on all of the studio albums that he sang for Boston. ALL VOCALS!

And Tom Scholz played all the instruments on the album. The wall of music that is the "Boston Sound" is literally two guys.

[@johnirving5949]

​@@HeavyTopspinSib Hashian on drums!

[@HeavyTopspin]

@@johnirving5949 Some of it, but most of the drums were also recorded by Tom in his basement and actually used on the finished album. The band thought they were recording an album, but then Tom swapped out most of the non-vocal stuff for what he'd done on his own.

[@yotaman2112]

I’m a 60 year old male who at that time this song was so much more than just a song. We didn’t have internet, Social media, cell phones, podcasters, influencers and what nowadays have become on the top of this generations focus. Driving down a Summer night in a ‘79 Thunderbird with a Pioneer 8 track player and tri-ax Jensen speakers with a 4 channel Kenwood amplifier just super loud. The windows down and the air hitting our hair as we drive down the popular hangout streets. When the transition from Foreplay to Longtime hit we got goosebumps from head to toe. I was finally able to buy a cassette tape of it to be able to rewind it to listen to it again and again. Something today’s generation will never get to experience is the simpler times that don’t rely on technology and internet to be totally connected and entertained. We interacted with each other and this music was our main way to connect. This music will never die!!

Boston was the first band I ever saw in concert. It was the fall of 1978 and three college buddies and I drove 70 miles to see them. Sammy Hagar (known as "The Red Rocker" at the time) warmed up for them. Then there was a brief intermission as they changed out the stage and then Boston opened with "Rock And Roll Band" which is a story about the band's history. It was a great concert. In addition to that song, "Smokin'" is also a must.

[@MBGolfer]

I saw them in Madison Square Garden. It was absolutely fantastic. 1980 I think.

[@josephgallagher945]

I was in 7th grade. My 1st concert. Me & 2 friends went. It was their 1st tour. Journey(pre-Steve Perry) & Nils Loftgren opened. Good times.

[@VadersRage]

Oooo man. Boston is a rabbit-hole you will thoroughly enjoy.....and this was ALL before Van Halen hit the scene. The 70’s were an incredible time for awesome bands and guitar heroes. Only 3 albums by them.....the first in ‘76 and the third in ‘86 (if I remember correctly). The debut album (this one) is solid from the first note played until the last note fades out. The band put that small pause in between the “Foreplay” and the “Long Time” because they didn’t think radio stations would play the intro. The public spoke out, the stations listened and the song was played in full for the rest of eternity.

[@backseatdriver4833]

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Fun reaction. This first album by Boston is considered to be one of the greatest debut albums in Rock music. I know this is the second one you reacted to, but you could still kind of go through what's left on the album in order. But either way, you owe it to yourself to hear every song on this album ultimately. Boston has a very distinct and recognizable sound, but then again they have such variety in their songs, which all just kick ass in their own way. Good ear catching that organ pattern once it transitioned from Foreplay into Long Time. All the layers in this are fantastic, and Fran on the bass is just a monster. Just listen for that sometime. Long Time was on the radio all the time when I was in junior high and I had my first girlfriend. We had the 8-track cassette so we could play it in her car as we were driving around or hanging out at the park or whatever. Great memories. And the FM stations would often play the two of them together. But you definitely heard just this part of it a bunch.😮

[@michellepetrillo2235]

Greatest debut album ever. Not one bad song on it. Back then nearly everyone knew every single word and note to every single song. I sure did. I’ve listened to the entire album literally thousands of times. Hitch a Ride is my favorite, if I had to pick one. ❤🤘🏼🤘🏼

When I bought this with my allowance in 1976, I was 11, I had no idea what I was going to hear, but from the moment the needle hit, the fade in with More Than A Feeling to Let Me Take You Home Tonight my mouth never closed! What I had listened to before was very tame, but was changed dramatically with this phenomenal debut! I hope you react to the whole album! I would give this 5 stars and Don't Look Back 4.5 stars! I think Don't Look Back is a great album, and you react to that as well!

The story as I heard it: Some buddies attending MIT together decided they could produce music better on their own than a professional studio could. So they made their own studio in a basement and started recording on the equipment they created. This was the album they made. I love the revival of a mechanical organ being used. Pretty sure that electric guitar being used inspired the word “rad” commonly used in the 80’s.

I love your reactions bro. I grew up in the 70s and still enjoy this great music. Rush is always my go to when I run out of good tunes to listen to. Always so many real music from back in the day to listen to. Hell Yeah!! Enjoy!!
