Boston - Foreplay / Long Time | REACTION

[@sirrobin4394]

Boston wasn't just a band, they were an experience. :)

[@stratcat3216]

They were Tom Sholz

[@antonioruizmedina784]

Boston were....drum,voice,bass,Godreu......Great Unique style

[@DodjJfjf]

Of

[@kentmains7763]

If someone asks you what rock and roll is just hand them this album.

[@symbiosisai]

Actually i would hand them AC DC Powerage

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

ACDC is closer to R&R, Chuck Berry music is Rock & Roll, and ACDC copies Chuck, this is synth/prog Rock.

[@visarr]

@@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv Hard to call it synth/prog when (surprisingly) no synthesizers were used on this album..

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

@@visarr BULL.

[@289hipo]

​@@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv He's absolutely right. Tom Scholz was an MIT grad and Polaroid engineer; all the effects on this album were done with equipment he designed and built from scratch.

[@jennhurl]

I seriously can't be friends with anyone that doesn't like Boston. If I find out someone doesn't like them - I'm out cause something is fundamentally wrong with them. 🤣🤣🤣

[@redstateforever]

This is a “stuck on a deserted island” album. Every song is fire, and they never seem to get old.

Facts

[@redstateforever]

@Barstool Prophet Hey, just saw this. Ugh, this is hard. I’m a Gen Xer who had bunch of older cousins influencing my musical tastes, so, let’s see... Eagles, Greatest Hits...Thriller, MJ...Purple Rain, Prince...Rumors, Fleetwood Mac...Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morisette...oh, and I also love country. Bluegrass and southern gospel....so, Alison Krause + Union Station, Live (2002)... Best of the Gaither Vocal Band...Lynyrd Skynrd, Pronounced “Leh- nerd Skin-Erd”, and also Adele, Live at Royal Albert Hall...I guess that makes ten! If I had to live with those ten for the rest of my life, I’d say I’d do alright. How about you, my friend?!?

[@redstateforever]

@Barstool ProphetOh, I’m with ya on lots of those. I love Yes, Kansas, Styx, and of course Led Zeppelin. It really is crazy hard to choose just 10. Funny how neither of us picked the Beatles. I like some of their songs, but for whatever reason, I just never got into the whole full on devotion thing. Maybe because they broke up before I was born, idk. If I could add one more it would be Journey, Escape. Don’t stop believing! Lol.

[@stanwrichardson6243]

This album came out when I was in high school, the sound was different from anything else out there. Pretty much every song on the album got air play on the radio. Still one of my all time favorite albums. The sound layers that went into this is just phenomenal.

[@andrewpetik2034]

'What kind of song is this?' The 1970s AM and FM radio airwaves were a veritable cornucopia of musical styles and genres and a lot of bands that refused to be pigeonholed. I feel BLESSED to have grown up in that decade! In my humble opinion, corporations have taken mainstream music to a mundane, trite graveyard.

When your guitars sound like the space ships on the album cover, you're BADASS 😎

[@fadguru]

Did you notice that the space ships on the album cover are actually guitars?

[@dannybaker4641]

This kind of stuff is what we should send on a spacecraft trying to discover other life. They'd rock out and think that we're friendly.

I was in 8th grade when this was released. My friend’s older sister called us in the house, she turned the radio up, said you guys have to hear this! What a time tk ve young.

[@Reconcile-h4g]

I love it when the young generation likes the old great hits.🎉

[@paulbrighton3303]

I was 13 in 1975. I bought this album and took it to a school dance and blew kids away…and teachers! They allowed me to play this song, and everyone just freaked out. Nobody had every heard anything like this. And yet, 48 years later, here you guys are in shock.

[@letivon6589]

Brad Delp, the most beautiful voice on the planet!

[@Coupydog]

The guy in white ball cap is 🔥 fire! Loved your air guitar & drum renditions; shows you're a loyal fan with a fun personality 👍 What a phenomenal Album this is. Many of these songs are considered anthems.

[@Widdermaker]

You guys have a LOT to look forward to with Boston. Every song you hear will be your new favorite classic rock song. Not kidding. This album is Da Bomb! Their 2nd album was great, too. But you only get to make a huge first impression splash out of nowhere once - and no one could get enough Boston in the late 70’s. I still play them - they’re so good they’re timeless. Those were happier times back then - my high school days!

[@dnf-dead]

The albums Boston, Don't look back and Third stage are my favorite albums

[@rneu1978]

I feel so blessed that i saw BOSTON several times in my life!! You young guys..I so appreciate you keeping this music....of the best era ALIVE!! I so wish you could have lived through the era that I now hold dear to my heart..my memories so intact that give me the strength every day that I was apart of this!! Thank you guys!

Tom Schulz was an top MIT graduate, and aside from the master musicianship, he actually built much of the equipment that provided the unique sound qualities used in recording!

It is amazing how the younger generation are just know listening to Classic Rock Music, and learning to appreciate the music of this era. They really enjoying and experiencing the sounds and meanings behind each and every song. We need more young people listening to more Classic Rock Bands from the 70's and 80's.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

For what it's worth, it occurred in the middle of the album but I saw them in 1977 in junior high after this album dropped and oh my God was it a good show. A small to medium-sized Arena and it just sounded so good and everything about it was incredible. Something that cracks me up is that your friend there, just superficially and from a distance, just somehow reminds me at a glance of Sib Hashian, who was the drummer. Take a look at one of the album photos and squint your eyes a little bit and see what you think. 😅

[@Smoky37830]

Saw them live at the Cotton Bowl Texas Jam for their Third Stage album. First, they sound just like that live - they don't need a studio to sound that good. Second, had never seen a band do this: they said they released a new album and were going to play it in its entirety - and they played Third Stage. What a magical summer night!
