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

[@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.

Better days.

[@melodydaniel8630]

The smirk when you know how awesome something is and you’re waiting to see the youngun’s reaction is amusing in itself. 😂

[@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.

[@stevehamilton8824]

One of the best live bands. But bands had to be great live back then. The live shows were huge. Known as an arena rock band along with bands like Journey, Styx, Foreigner and other...they all had played as well live as they did on albums. This debut album was incredible! Brad Delp hits notes that are head scratching. This album still stands the test of time. The facial hair, clothing and afros may not but the music is what matters.

[@jacqualynjohnson6203]

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

[@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.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

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

[@sitkoh]

RIP Brad Delp. Beautiful, beautiful!

[@Steven-em5if]

Boston has such a clean sound almost crisp.

[@ajiscool615]

Almost like there is an “open air” sound to their music.

[@melodyspoor3127]

One of the greatest songs of the 70's

[@mrs.donohue9569]

As an official 'ol lady, it's such a pleasure to see the view of youngin's enjoying our music.

[@hibhibb5429]

Brad Delp was an Incredible singer! And, who could resist that Amazing Smile he had too. RIP Brad.

[@tonidarcy5515]

I'm 62 years old now and this came out in my teens high school years! And that was in the 70's! I've always said the greatest music to come out was the 70's! I bet you younger people won't be hearing today's music 50 years from now!! But I love that you younger people are keeping it alive who knows you might interest your grandchildren one day!! ❤🎷🎤🎵🎸🎶

[@VadersRage]

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.

[@sandrafazackerley9526]

My go to happy song 👌 puts me in a great mood whenever i hear it. cheers for reacting to this again. Peace Out! ✌

[@tbrackett8389]

I keep this CD in my car radio at all times just for this reason.

[@karengray662]

Great song to drive to & always lifts the mood. Great to see young’uns appreciate this stuff

[@AzaleaLala]

Elton John. Look for some live videos. Boston is just so good. I was 16 in 1976, but this song still gives me chills.

[@chrisrice988]

Lead guitar graduated from MIT , worked for Polaroid and built a 16 track recording studio in his basement. He and lead vocals wrote and recorded the whole album just the two of them . They put the band together after they signed the record deal

[@stevenewcomer8837]

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.

[@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.

[@melaniemarceaux9580]

I was born in 1972, so yes, this is "my" music.... I'm so happy that you remind the generations before us that we were cool and had the best music.. times were so simple then... GEN X ❤ last generation without a phone in our hands 24/7.. to play outside... and just have an interesting life...

[@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 ❤

[@thorstambaugh1520]

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

[@hollypinkley]

Love this song!!!! Boston was a great group in an era where they HAD to step up & get real real!!!! I so wish I could become a member/support you but - as a 75-year-old single senior citizen on just my Social Security - I have to watch every nickel, dime & even the pennies!! Luv ya!!! I watchc reactions more than I do my tv at times!!!!

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

……this reaction made me so happy 🥰 felt like the 1st time I dropped the needle on the record !

[@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.

[@MisoSilly]

This has been a favorite of mine for almost 40 years and his voice still gives me goosebumps ❤

[@ReinhardtBII]

This is a song about itself, in a way. A song that takes you back, makes you feel. It became the thing it was about.

[@mimzyriepensell1423]

Goodness, wow this takes me back, I am glad the music 🎶 of my youth is considered timeless by two other generations!

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

[@netwinters5943]

Songs that instantly put you in a better mood. I miss those.

[@mledbetter]

I saw them live on this tour in 1979. I was 14 and it was my first unchaperoned rock concert. They were stellar!

[@bibliophileforever3128]

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.

[@BringItMAGA]

We we're so lucky in the 70s and there was SO much talent! What a great time we had!

[@CSTA2024]

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".

[@Wendy-r9g]

This is my all time favorite song!!!! Saw them only twice but they are even better live!! Their back story adds to their amazing music. 😊

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.

[@patriciaroberts308]

Effortless.... I'm 68 we were so spoiled, we had natural talent, creative word poets, effortless singers and people who only wanted to share their hopes, dreams, God given talents with like minded people. I was born and raised in Southern California who had THE best D.J.'s (disc jockeys) on the local radio stations. They turned us on to different types of incredible new musicians!!! We couldn't get enough and we were hungry for more!!! We had the music studios in LA, we had the radio stations in LA, we had the record stores in LA. We had the best concerts in LA. (Los Angeles). It was a dream come true for kids like me, it was Heaven on Earth!!!! Like I said SPOILED, in a very good way!!! My parents home was always rocking with music from every era, from the time before I was born!!!! ✨💖✨

[@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.

[@randyrussell6246]

Damn .........from 1976 to to 1979 we had Boston , Atlanta Rythm Section (ARS ) , the Eagles , Steve Miller Band , ELO , Marshall Tucker Band .......just off the top of my head ........thats just the bands that broke the moulds and come out and set the bar , bands that not only Rocked and Jammed but found a groove with their fans or anyone that would take the time to listen. Another reason I bring these Bands up is because their songs were making their way into country and Honkey Tonk Bars and I ahould know because my Dad would stop in to have a couple on days we finished a job early or we got rained out of work , giving me a chance to work on my pool game while dropping quarters in the Juke Box and finding my own groove.
