INTRODUCING GEN Z Rapper to Boston - More Than a Feeling!! His voice... W/

[@markpotts1145]

No Auto - tune here, Just pure talent.

[@theodoreritola7641]

70s Talent

[@TheColdrush22]

They still used studio tricks even back then. Sort of effects that make a vocalist sound much better than the actually sound live. This is not live, btw. It is a video of their radio version of the song. I love Boston, but people are making claims that aren't true. (Edit: also I don't mean to take away from Brad Delp at all. He has one of the best voices I have ever heard in my life, and frederickdavidson270 is totally right. It is jaw-droppingly good. He needs no tricks to make him sound better. In a studio environment that's just what happens to make the best sounding version of your song. Vocal doubling, chorus effects, reverb, harmonizing with yourself, etc.)

[@frederickdavidson270]

The big high note is slightly studio assisted but still amazing to get anywhere near that level

[@KevinMonoxide]

​@@frederickdavidson270Sorry dude, but I knew Brad and that was all him.

[@thenortherner3890]

I'm 62 and I can remember the day I bought the album and the first time I heard it, still amazing to this day.

Thank God I was a teenager during the 70's. R.I.P. Brad Delp.

[@jacqualynjohnson6203]

I'm 65. This was my music! Thank you for bringing gen z in so they know real music!

[@dwaynentinabunt1200]

Brad Delp had one of those voices that simply couldn't be matched together with Tom Sholts was simply magic.

[@firedoc5]

Love it when the younger generation(s) gets exposure to classic music that we grew up with, and to have them dig it. Lead singer Brad Delp's voice is iconic of the 70's and early 80's through Boston and other groups he had been with.

[@retreivermomx2847]

My dad grew up with Brad Delp (lead singer) they were great friends for years and years. We all grew up in the same town. They are still one of my favorite bands today and my millennial and Gen Z kids know the words to all their songs ❤

[@dona5712]

Very cool

[@sitkoh]

RIP Brad Delp. Beautiful, beautiful!

[@thorstambaugh1520]

You know you are classic when all ages are astonished at the talent

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

I love Boston! I grew up with these tunes and they are still 🔥🔥🔥

[@flamingpieherman9822]

This is the song that when you hear it, whether it's the first time or the 500th time, it makes you smile and it makes you happy. It makes you think about the best things that you can think about.... The music is just so good and the voice that voice... Awesome

[@steve9199]

Guitarist Tom Scholz is a certified genius. Got his degree from MIT, and worked as an engineer at Polaroid before forming the band. He wrote and recorded most of the debut album in his basement. He even invented some recording interfaces for guitar. Brad Delp is definitely a top tier vocalist.

[@bgfundy]

He also built all of his own guitar effects, which is why his distortion sounds were so unique for the time. He invented to power soak (to get distortion/overdrive from an amp while keeping the volume low) and the Rockman series of pedals/outboard gear.

[@KevinMonoxide]

Tom used to let me and some other guitar players in Boston try stuff out before he sold them.

[@steve9199]

@KevinMonoxide Cool!! So now you can put "Research Tester for Scholz Research and Development" on your resume!! FYI... I'm jealous as hell!! 😁

[@sox5131]

I'm 62...one of the first things I learned on guitar.

So jealous of folks discovering Boston for the first time. There's nothing like hearing stuff like this for the first time. 48 years later, I STILL drop everything to play air-guitar and hammer my steering wheel into an oval.

[@lisal.4498]

Brad Delp is the greatest male rock vocalist of all time. And it ain’t even close. RIP Brad

[@davidrowell]

i remember sitting on the carpet at a middle school friend's house listening to this song (and others) on this newly released album... Not long after this movie called Star Wars came out. The world was quickly changing around us... And we loved being in the middle of it all!

[@laurakali6522]

I just listened to American Top 40 this week in 1977. Transported me right back to that summer. ELO, Eagles, Frampton, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller Band, etc. so good.

[@aliciasaracino1233]

Amazing talent, good music. We didnt know how fortunate we were. Todays music doesnt cut it.

[@briandavies1397]

Yeah, I'm 61 and they were my very first rock concert around '78 or '79, and after years of my kids rolling their eyes at me, you can't imagine how much joy it brings me to hear a 20 year old say, "They are FIRE"! 😊 🤘

[@jacksonmyers3187]

I'm the youngest of three kids, my sisters are 5 and 7 years older than me. They were both at the University of Florida and when I was in eighth grade, I went to Gainesville by bus to see them. By car, back then it would have been maybe 3 1/2 hours, four at the outside. But by bus- I think it was at least 10 hrs. So when I was all confirmed and waiting on the day to come, my sisters sent me a tape. THIS album. The letter said not to listen till I was on the bus (with my walkman, heh), and I did as told. Wow, what an experience. I will never forget it.

[@hog1775]

Boston was 110% talent. The band as a whole was simply amazing.

[@1BobsYourUncle]

I bought this album when it came out, still have it and you can definitely see a half century’s wear and tear on it. One of the best Rock albums of all time.

[@kevinvernon5851]

This song... that album is permanently burned into my generation's memory. It takes me back to drinking Lowenbrau beers with all my friends talking about how insane this album was. The came Heart.. then Journey and shortly after Van Halen. Man... those were the days.

I just subscribed to your site. I was 18 when this song came out in 1976. Today I am 66 and it is very interesting that you mostly listen to the music I grew up with. No AutoTune, just pure talent from skill and singing from the heart. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the tune I grew up with. Perhaps you can understand why we say " We had the Best of Music, Cars and Great Women".

My favorite Boston song is Foreplay/Long Time, due to the sheer genius of the choices of instrumentations. Keyboarding that sounds like an organ, nothing but handclapping and acoustic guitar in some places, and the always fantastic electric guitar. All to go along with that incredible voice. It's truly one of a kind.

Tom brought in Brad to do the vocals after he had most of the music recorded. Tom, I don’t believe did the drums, but pretty much everything else. Brad to my knowledge never wrote any of the songs. He did 100% of ALL of the vocals though. All lead, all backing, and all harmonies on every studio album that he was involved in with Boston.
