Teen Reacts To Boston - Foreplay / Long Time!!!

[@jamescraig6956]

A prime example of why there is no comparison between this music and today's music.

[@kidwave1]

Im 55, been playing guitar and singing in bands since 1985, ....there is some PHENOMENAL music out there these days! Try Blackberry Smoke, The Sheepdogs, and Rival Sons. There is still some awesome rock bands out there! ...you just gotta be proactive to find it.

[@DanielFrost21]

It's great to see the younger generation react to possibly the greatest debut album of all time. I didn't realize how lucky I was to grow up with this music. Young man, keep going on your Boston journey. You've got a way to go.

[@Prone2Thrill]

I agree - probably the greatest debut album of any band ever. I know that's a big statement but it's obvious that many people feel that way. What DEBUT is better? I can't think of any better - equal maybe but this album is amazing!

[@johneppo4133]

Agree man👍👍👍👍🤟

[@dhfenske]

Yeah, I was thinking Led Zeppelin, also, but I don't know if it's better. I think I have to call them equal in my taste.

[@dhfenske]

Van Halen, also, for me. Can't say I think it's better, but it's as good for me.

[@howdyault7710]

I disagree…Led Zepp’s first album is the greatest debut album bruh!

[@completecharleston7142]

Those of us who grew up in the 70's (and late 60's / early 80s as well) didn't know how good we had it with all the incredible music and bands - and Boston was at the top of the heap with their groundbreaking sounds. When Tom Schulz came out with the Rockman for guitar, I bought one, used it for many years in our band.

[@howdyault7710]

Amen bro!!!

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

we had the golden age and assumed it would always be there

[@jakerazmataz852]

I hope you still play.

Glad to be born in 1962

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

My grandkids don't like coming over cause Paw Paw is always playing his music so loud LOL is what they tell their mother I LOVE IT. I picked oldest from school one day with this blasting it was classic the looks I got from not only the kids but other younger parents and teachers🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My oldest grandchild has just started to check out my both my vinyl and cd collections.

[@ronnie_fryman]

I still get goosebumps when I listen to this album, and I’m 59 years old. It never gets old.

[@josephcistaro442]

Me too

[@sarah2.017]

A year or two later, I gave this album to a friend at church, and she unwrapped it and squealed, "Now I can hear 'Foreplay' whenever I want!" We were about 13 years old, and she didn't know that "Foreplay" was anything other than a song by Boston.

[@kevinsmith2666]

One Of The Few "PERFECT" Albums Out There

[@MrMilo145]

100%

[@InfoStatz]

Silas, you are a JEWEL!!! I had the exact same reaction when I first heard them. I'm 73 years old. I still get that unalterable spark of humor and amazement and awe and appreciation and elevation of my spirit when I hear REALLY GOOD MUSIC. Rock ON!!!

[@paulstewart6203]

First time I heard this song in 1977 riding in a backseat of a 69 Roadrunner with a souped-up stereo system.

[@Prone2Thrill]

Had to be souped up to cover that 383 or 426 lol

[@paulstewart6203]

@@Prone2Thrill yes it was a 383, light blue, my brother-in-law's.

Silas has good taste in music apparently and he FEELS it so genuinely. It's a blast

[@jamessugg7061]

Him doing squats with the chair on his head 😂, I think I pissed myself a little.

[@ajruther67]

He definitely is comical! I know not on purpose, he is just feeling the music but still comical.

[@scottm.1182]

Ditto!!

[@flubblert]

They were a hit machine in the '70s. Dominated rock radio back then. Literally were part of the soundtrack of the era.

[@laurakali6522]

And yet never even nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ridiculous.

[@ponytrekker8996]

They were never able to top there first album.. The second one was good but nothing compared to this and the third one was forgettable couldn’t keep the magic going unfortunately..why you may ask.. this album went 17 times platinum upon release in 1976 in an era when you physically had to go to a record store and buy one.

[@townhall05446]

They weren't a 'hit machine'... their first album was of course gargantuan, but the second album so long in coming was nowhere near as good. And really there was no 'they', just a couple guys really made all the songs... which is why they were crap in concert. Yes crap, the 'band' was not the actual guys who supposedly played on the album. I saw them in concert. Not so good.

[@flubblert]

@@townhall05446 they were a hit machine doesn't matter which or how many albums. The songs dominated the 70s and into the 80s. I stand by the statement!

[@steveh7108]

​@@townhall05446of course there second and third album weren't as good. Nobody's album was as big of a hit as their first album. Not even bands like Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith or any of them. That is the problem with having the biggest selling album ever, especially when it's your debut album. You can't top it. Boston's second and third albums were just fine. It was just impossible to top their first album. Other bands were not expected to sound like Boston and therefore it was easier to move along even though they could not top the Boston album. But Boston was expected to somehow top their own album.

[@davidnelson1129]

Can you imagine being Boston Guitarist Barry Goodreau and playing that opening Screaming Guitar Solo at the beginning of Long Time in front of 20,000 plus screams fans. Must have been incredible.

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

Every. Single. Cut. ... on this album is fire. It was Summer between fresh & soph year in college when this came out, and when I got back to campus, this stuff was flying out of every dorm and apartment, and at every party. Couldn't get away from it if you wanted to... and we didn't want to. The music carries a lot of positivity - even more than the lyrics - and just has an uplifting effect. Smokin' & Rock & Roll Band are up next, and again you won't be disappointed. Legendary debut album! Couldn't get away from 3 bands during the mid to late 70's: Fleetwood Mac, Boston & Earth, Wind & Fire. The music was so good back then, nothing really to compare it with in today's corporate BS radio.... I mean, I find a lot of great tracks from today's bands/artists through independent sources, as well as YT... but the singers/songwriters who were part of the great 60's/70's bands were going for epic, going for big airplay & big money... and that motivation drove the market. But sooo glad you're walking this path, along with a lot of other reactors - getting a new experience and learning about the great music of the past, which you all are bringing to the newer generations.

[@helenespaulding7562]

I remember a few others that seemed be everywhere right then too; BTO, Peter Frampton, Bad Company and Heart

[@jaycorby]

Steve Girard I, too, was there during The Golden Age of Sound and Song! My 'coming of age' period was a little earlier than yours - was privileged to witness Dylan's entry into what evolved into hours of exquisite auditory art of the highest caliber. Can recall walking across campus during my sopomore year with Like a Rolling Stone blaring from dorm windows. The air itself was energized and electrified with music our parents just couldn't understand. My Dad was born in 1912 - that is 110 years ago! Mom was born in '21, that's just over a century. Can you imagine their complete dismay at a song titled Foreplay or a band called Pink Floyd? No wonder the term ' generation gap ' was coined back then

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

@@helenespaulding7562 Absolutely, Helene! The late 70's Frampton really did Come Alive! All the others you mentioned were def on my turntable or 8-Track!

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

@@jaycorby Ha, Jay... nice. I can def relate. Indeed I was a bit later, when the 'squares' had already thrown up their hands and said, :"Whatever, I'll never get this new music and these bands!" My Dad was born 1915, and my Mom 1919... and living now, and remembering their stories of 'back in the day"... it's just amazing the spread of time we understand. A lot of changes, especially in music, where we went from Tin Pan Alley and the Big Band Era which dominated for several decades of my Dad's life... and realize he was only 40 when Elvis hit... and he was not impressed! I heard the early Beatles @ around 7 yrs old, but really locked onto the blue-eyed soul of the Rascals, and the Philly soul groups like the Chi-Lites, Spinners, Delfonics... even more than the Motown stuff. Have a great holiday, Jay!

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts my mom was born in 1915 and I was a freshman in college in 1965. So yeah, Dylan was huge on campus., along with The Beatles, Mamas and Papas, Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds, Donovan …..so much good music and a great time to be young …….IF you didn’t get drafted.

[@johneppo4133]

Dude I'm 62 and this album still sounds as great as the first time I heard it when it first came out. Awesome album love your reaction.👍👍👍👍🤟

[@mmichaeldonavon]

Try 84 - and I'm still blown away by Boston's music. I've virtually had a life time to hear their music, over and over and over. I still love it - and will always love it.

[@sedition4267]

The way you feel Boston's music, I'd swear you have a 70's soul deep within you. Those of us who actually lived in the time of this release reacted the same way as you do. It was, in a word, awesome.

[@KevinKeough-qx2uh]

Saw them from 5th row. Opened for Journey. No one knew who they were. When finished NO ONE wanted them to leave. We were shocked how fantastic they were!

[@mitchjernigan3394]

This album held the record for largest selling debut album ever until Guns and Roses Appetite For Destruction. What they can't say about the Guns and Roses album is that every single song on the album had significant airplay on the radio. Boston did, and I don't know of any other band that can boast that. When I am asked what is my favorite song on this Boston album, I simply reply with, "the album".

[@FUBAR1986]

When Guns N’ Roses came out, all those who love rock ‘n’ roll were starving for rock ‘n’ roll that helped them a lot. With Boston, and there was a plethora of competition for your listening pleasure.

[@ericmayle8510]

I've had both Boston and G-n-R, and I still have Boston on vinyl.

"I like sides 1 and 2."

[@KalElvis]

When you learn the history of this album and how one man made it all in his home studio makes it even more impressive.

[@4orrific]

I agree with Daniel,I didn't realize how lucky we were.That reaction was all of us back then.

[@jameswingert9596]

As a former teen I can personally attest to the fact that this is an authentic reaction to hearing this song for the first time. How they lead you with those acoustic riffs up to that final electric guitar riff 🤯

[@PaulSmith-xc7vt]

You kick ass at these reactions on Boston. It's fun just watching you squirm all over the place. I always get excited when I hear Boston as well. My graduating class voted Long Time as our class song. If you listen to the words closely you will see why. Thanks again for the great reaction Silas. You're still the man!

[@chadkrueger7538]

There's a timelessness with Boston, it's as fresh today as it was 46 years ago! Great reaction!

[@mattharvey968]

No matter how many times you listen to this song you never get tired of it kicking your azz!!!

[@JohnQGuitar]

I'm an old guy...I-was 16 years old when this album came out. It was a game-changer! I was playing in a garage band and all my buddies in the band could not believe the completely new sounds on this album that had never been done before. This was not bonehead rock. It changed us. We played music with more fervor than ever after hearing this. And all of us are now highly educated, with great careers. This was an album for intelligent people.

[@qtrhors1]

I was 16 when bought this album new. At 62 years old I've listen alot of music but there is something special about this time period. I keep playing these old tunes and still love them. Fun to see young people enjoying this 45+ year old music.

[@mmf6236]

I was 7 when this came out and it stills moves me today. Being from Boston myself i am proud to say this is Boston. One of the greatest a;albums and bands ever

[@MikeLyons2011]

Boston is the Mt Everest of 70's rock. The musicality, the style, the production quality, everything about them is just amazing.

[@jamiegriffin9866]

I totally understand! I've heard it probably over a thousand times and I still just go into another dimension when I listen to it today!!

[@0okamino]

Without a doubt! Hundreds if not a thousand, and this song still has it, absolutely.

[@roadkill7314]

This song never gets old! I will say our reaction to this may have been a little more muted. Don't get me wrong, Boston was huge and you heard them everywhere. But the sheer volume of great music in the 70's is really hard to describe if you weren't there. And not just rock music either. It was a great time to be alive!

[@juliodownbytheschoolyard8006]

Witnessing the birth of a Boston fan... tremendous!

[@yyzwdm]

In my opinion, this was Boston's Magnum Opus of this album. This was my absolute favorite Boston song...great reaction!! Reminded me of the first time I heard it back in late 76 or early 77. My reaction was pretty much the same.

[@trespatines8698]

The late Brad Delp on all the outstanding vocals. What an album!

[@deoppressoli-bear2600]

Boston was a mini revolution in my high school. The sound was hard to believe.

 3:27 Count down to Warp 9 - Headed for Jupiter! Crew happy & singing songs 8:56 Crew: be quiet. Jupiter: prepare to be f*cked up! 9:18 Jupiter and all its moons are indeed F*CKED up when the guitars descend as buzzsaw bulldozers obliterating everything before them. 9:41 Crew: What a time to be alive! Time to sing more. And I loved every _millisecond_ of it when I heard this for the first time back then.

[@justbuz]

I actually got burned out on this album after hearing the songs for decades, but your reaction has helped me to rediscover my initial appreciation from when the album was first released. I fell hard for it back then, and I love your reaction. Thank you for helping me enjoy like I did in the old days.

[@vivianaspdin8800]

Welcome to the world of pure classic. When music was real and the best. I'm proud to say I grew up then and the music was truly out of this world, Especially Boston.

[@mikeharrington878]

So imagine this, my young dude: a bunch of us had just gone down to the record store at the mall after being told about this album from some friend's cousin or something out on the East Coast. W buy this vinyl and we bring it back to my buddy's bedroom that had walls that were painted black and covered in these black felt posters with florescent images like chameleons inside tesseracts floating in space, alien solar systems, spaceships, nad hot rod cars everywhere. We think approvingly that the album art fits in rather well with the decor. He turns on the black light bulb on the ceiling that bathes everything in an eerie purplish glow and these images all spring to glowing life...right as this very song emanates from the big speakers attached to his turn table and washes over us as we reclined on the many bean bag chairs spread corner-to-corner in his room. This was early 1977 for me and my friends. I was going to turn 12 years old in a couple of weeks. This was my favorite present, I think. Remember this story when you see a bunch of white-haired old dudes nodding their heads in their old cars going down the road too slowly, and think to yourself: "I wonder if he's just cruisin' and listening to Boston and thinking back on some good scenes in his life from a long time ago..." 💝☮

[@289hipo]

I'm 62 now, this came out when I was 16. It's still blowing people's minds 46 years later; that's what makes a timeless song. And realize that this was made decades before ProTools and AutoTune, on 1/4" reel-to-reel tape. No digital editing available. They played the music live in the studio direct to tape. And, on top of that, the lead guitarist is an MIT grad that majored in physics, was working as a product engineer for Kodak, the camera film company. He played ALL the instruments except drums, and a friend from another band did ALL the vocals. HE recorded, mixed, and produced it himself IN HIS BASEMENT, with most of the effects he designed and built himself. Only thing he bought was an 8 channel ANALOG mixing board. The guy was a total genius.

[@neechee5150]

@289hipo Tom used a Sculley 12 track one inch tape machine to record the tracks that he submitted for this record. Scholz actually graduated from MIT with a masters in mechanical engineering and Scholz worked for Polaroid but still a camera and film company. All of Brads vocals sans Let Met Take You Home which was written by Brad were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C. The entire song Let Me Take You Home was recorded by the band as pictured on the back of the record. This record was mixed at Westlake Studios by producer John Boylan, Engineer Warren Dewey and Tom with assistance from Steve Hodges. It is well known that Tom used a Dan Flickinger console to record the tracks that he submitted for this record are you sure it was only an 8 channel console? It would make much more sense for the console to be a 12 channel or more or a 24 channel. Also Tom most certainty did not play all of the instrumental tracks on this record. Foreplay and Long Time heavily feature the guitar work of Barry G. Fran is playing bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad is playing acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home and Barry plays electric rhythm, slide and lead guitar on Let Me Take You Home Brad was not a friend from another band. Brad sang on multiple demos for Tom and played in band with Tom years before this record was made. Barry met Tom when Tom auditioned to play keyboards in Barrys band. Barry introduced Brad to Tom not long after that time. Barry, Brad, Jim Masdea and Tom played in bands and did demos of Toms songs years before this record was made and released.

[@pamnicklas5536]

The transition between Foreplay and Long Time is still my favorite part of any song even after hearing it for 46 years!

[@keithbrown7685]

I like it when new listeners don't quite hear it coming. That seguay could fool some people I'm sure. : )

[@robinhokenson4118]

I met them in 1977 at a opening of a Peaches records in Tacoma, Wa. Awesome memory. I mostly remember the white dude with a huge fro. A small child could have been hidden in it. Love that I grew up with this music! Forever timeless....

I’m 63 years old and was a teenager when this album came out. Your reaction is exactly how I felt in the 70’s. We were totally blown away by this band, and the entire album! I had to laugh when you said ‘those of you who’ve listened to this hundreds of times’… 😂😂😂😂 I’ll bet I listened to it a hundred times the first month I had the album!! Try THOUSANDS of times I’ve heard this! They just don’t make music like this any more. Oh, and I’m new here, so I haven’t read all the comments, but surely someone has mentioned that the album cover “spaceships” are upside down guitars! Keep rockin’, young man. Glad you appreciate great music! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏼🎸

Tom was an electrical engineer as well as a musician. He developed the effects that created their sound then sold them to fans and guitarists everywhere. Look up the Rockman

[@bostonwhofan]

"I've got to keep on chasing that dream, though I may never find it. I'm always just behind it........" It's such an amazing song. And the great part? There's more songs on the album that are equally as great!

The entire album is loaded with incredible music. No clunkers. Just serious rock from start to finish.

Welcome to real music. This is why 95% of streaming music listened to is this old stuff and not the current stuff. This music hits you to your core. It sucks you up into it, and you live with it, experiencing it. It puts you in an incredible mood.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Tom Scholz did most of this album himself, in a studio he built in his basement, built some of his own studio equipment too, record label thought he had a full band, took him 3 years to complete and the record label were pissed, until they heard the results of course, every song is a radio ready single, a record company's dream album

[@neechee5150]

@m.ericwatson968 Recording stared on this record in 1975. The record was finished and released in August 1976. This record took approximately a year and a half to record. Tom did not make the Dan Flickinger console that he used to record tracks for this record. Tom did not make the Sculley 12 track tape machine that he used to record tracks for this record either. Tom did not make any of the mics that he used as well. Exactly what specific pieces of STUDIO equipment did Tom make?

Best rocker ever!!! Never grows old!

[@jamesknox7171]

In 1978, I had a 69' Firebird with a pieced together stereo system that basically junk but for some reason, it hooked up great. I had 6'x9" Kricket's in the rear deck that, thank God, had a lifetime warranty because I blew up 4 sets with this song! Love your reaction. I grew up with the best music ever playing on the radio.

[@jalkabre5904]

There is a reason this album is considered one of the best debut albums of all time. This group changed my teenage perception of classic rock in the early '80s. It had a more progressive sound that was captivating. One of the ultimate feel good party albums that was a must listen.

Omg. I’m late to the party but this is the high point of my day. Best reaction to this song I’ve seen. And I’ve seen many. Such joy! I still feel the joy when I hear it too. 46 years listening on the regular. ❤

[@bradsouthers7476]

Realize that this was recorded a track at a time on analog reel-to-reel tape and hand-mixed. No autotune, no computer tricks, just pure talent and hard, hard work. The transitions between light acoustic and hard jam are epic, and if you get past the music into the lyrics it's a good, positive message too.

[@knightxd4]

And after he gets over that. Tell him how Scholz took a leave of absence from Polaroid and laid most of the tracks alone in his basement.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

I, at 13 years old, listened to this in my friends house when this vinyl album came out. His dad had a massive Hi-Fi stereo system and we all sat on the couch and were blown away.

[@Mike-rk8px]

I got to see Boston at Madison Square Garden in 1979, I was 12 and it was a mind blowing experience. They were able to pull off the sound they got in the studio live, and Brad Delp really could sing that high. The main problem Boston had as a band was that the first album was so strong, it was almost impossible to top it. Their second album, 1978’s “Don’t Look Back” was okay, but nowhere near as great as their debut. The public waited until 1986 for the 3rd Boston album, called “Third Stage”, but it was only okay. They’ve put out other albums of all new material since, but it’s no match for their debut album.

[@johnpeniell9709]

This song is like one big sustained eargasm!

[@elceenomoun8115]

I was a HS senior in art class. The teacher was an old hippie, not terribly interested in teaching 25 nonartistic graduating seniors. So, we spent the semester doing album covers while he played the album. This was his favorite. We must have traced 6 versions of this album cover, 😂. Good times. School objectives were a little relaxed in those days. 😅

Dang! Best reaction I’ve ever seen EVER to an utterly EPIC song!

[@KJ-4321]

It’s sooooo fun watching your appreciation level for REAL music that was written and performed with talent and creativity, back when there was variety with different groups. Today so much sounds the same same same and rather drab to me. You still have a lot to discover! 😊

[@Prone2Thrill]

We all knew this was coming...😁 I personally have seen a ton of different reactors and NONE have the true passion and feel the music as much as Silas does. It's just genuine and refreshing to see. Silas - Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band, I'll be curious where you rank this album (not band) as a debut and overall when you get to that point. I hope you remember this comment when you finish the Boston rabbit hole!

[@jerseycapt]

Agreed! Totally! God, the music really moves him (spiritually AND physically)! It's energizing watching Silas react to Boston! I can't way to see him react to Don't Look Back and Third Stage. Heh heh... Seriously...I laughed with him, and he really entertained. Plus, it's just great to see OUR music making such an impact. And not just with him! The reactions to this one particularly are abundant, and about as entertaining!

[@carmenwise2256]

Best reaction to Boston that I've seen. I've viewed many. Loved yours the most. So refreshing to see young people react. Keep going. It only gets better with Boston. The whole group was awesome. Tom Sholtz is a genius. Recorded in his basement.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

R.I.P. Brad Delp, one of the best rock vocalists of all time. Him and Freddie probably. I hope high school freshmen will be forever discovering Boston and scrawling the album art across their binders. Do kids even have binders anymore?

[@Watchman70]

Steve Perry?

Now imagine hearing this in 1976. It was unlike anything else and the level of polish was mind-blowing.

[@debradanner5030]

I've probably heard this song a million times and still get full body chills...keep on rocking 🤘

[@pahtar7189]

I was about your age when this album first came out and I had the same reaction. This is maybe the best debut album of all time!

[@paulwood5803]

Sucks you in and then just smacks you round the head. Every part of this track is just soooo good. A seminal track of my life. And just wait for tomorrow.......

[@jeffdianebald]

Right?!!

[@thewhiskeycowboy-official]

Welcome to our world. ;) Glad to see the younger folks enjoying what we took as standards for our time. Cheers!

[@wpollock1]

This is fantastic…so well crafted….that guitar sound was innovative!

[@mrt77us]

My favorite rock n roll song ever, and I think the greatest. Good news Silas, you can hear it 1000 times and you will still have near the same reaction. It truly has everything.

[@jaquestraw1]

Silas you're killin' me 😄😄 I love it too much! You've brought new life to these classics 👍

[@Prone2Thrill]

So many fakers and posers for clicks out there - Silas isn't one of them, he's in it for the music! I dig it

[@chetwilson8792]

One of the greatest rock bands of all time !! Simply a masterpiece of music!! I highly recommend pink floyd comfortably numb live pulse tour 1994 ! It will Simply blew your freaking mind ! So happy a younger generation appreciated what real rock n roll sounds like

[@kareng4658]

I've been listening to Boston since the '70's and I can tell you that it never gets old! The happiest vibes ever!

[@williamcansler9387]

This album will NEVER get old in my opinion. Boston remains on the top 5 of my favorite bands

[@corbinhbucknerjr558]

You will not be disappointed by any song on the album. They are all magnificent.

[@PurityKontrol]

The feeling nevers goes away, even almost 50 years later...

[@jeffcrawford8231]

Love to see this younger generation enjoying the same way I felt back in the day when Music was Music.

[@johncarpenter3751]

Every time I listen to Boston I feel nostalgia for the 70’s. Which is strange because I was born in the 80’s.

[@mikemiller3069]

Boston was the first band I ever saw in concert. It was the fall of 1978 when 3 of my college buddies and I drove 70 miles to see this show. Sammy Hagar was the warm-up act. I hadn't heard of him back then but he put on a good show. There was about a 20 minute pause between acts and then Boston came out playing "Rock And Roll Band", a story about the rise of the band. That song and "Smokin'" are a couple of my Boston favorites and would make great reactions.

[@mickylawless1941]

Just today, I was walking up the parking lot of Bridger Bowl ski hill. Two college age guys were pulling gear out of their rig. Doors open and back hatch up and this album was playing at 11! It made me very happy. Saw these guys twice. My hearing has never been the same since. My ears rang for 2 weeks. They were the loudest recorded live act back in the 70's.

[@gandalf679]

Silas, you should have seen these guys in concert...man...the wild wood weed flowed freely both times I saw them back in the 70's...now THOSE were concerts...Rock ON!!!

[@georgewodicka4839]

The greatest song from a top ten all-time classic rock powerhouse. Stadium-filler, yet underrated.

[@royrocker9004]

Great reaction Silas. This entire album is fire.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This song is a masterpiece. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mjdaniel8710]

Saw them for the Third Stage tour and they sound this good live, amazing show
