REACTION COMPILATION | Boston - Foreplay / Long Time | First Time Mashup

[@WonderMommaOG]

💬 Well, here it is FINALLY! I have to say, I was mentally preparing myself to have to do this one completely over from scratch. I got pretty lucky with Seagate offering to recover my data. (Thanks Seagate!). This one was very difficult because it was so long and intricate. I truly hope I did it justice. I would say “On to the next” but the next video will likely be coming out tomorrow sometime! Hope you guys are in the mood for some grunge OGs! 💜

Great job Wondermomma!!❤

I know a lot of people automatically think More Than A Feeling when Boston comes up, but for me, this is easily their true masterpiece. And I say that knowing that More Than A Feeling is amaaaazing. But this... this is another level of collective genius.

[@drogusmaxwell6640]

First track from their first album. For a lot of us, it's the first Boston song we ever heard!

[@sarahjane5504]

Agreed 👍 plus I have a problem with more than a feeling. I have a serious twisted situation that it conjures up every time I hear it so thank you for not doing that one 😅 I really love this album. You’re the best wonder mama!

[@kylegonzales1402]

Completely agreed. 👍🏻

[@richardjack4827]

Dude what a time to be in your teens with tunes like this bangin outta that cheap ass car stereo!! Brad Delp had such a powerful voice and range. Really interesting back story to this band.

[@kentzepick4169]

Amen

[@unitoolzee]

People take it for granted now, but back when this album came out, the guitar tone BLEW OUR MINDS! It was revolutionary and went on to spawn a line of music gear that is still going today.

[@stevebarber8501]

So true. There was nothing like it sonically.

[@mcseforsale]

Yep. Revolutionary. Absolutely. That was one of the purposes of the band, afterall.

[@billyt9987]

The guitar tone others are measured by. That Rocktron just gives the guitar the sweetest distortion.

[@kentzepick4169]

Amen

[@neechee5150]

@@billyt9987 I think you mean the Rockman. Having said that, there is no Rockman or Rockman Prototype on this record. The heart of Toms guitar sound on this record is a Marshall SLP.

[@Louisvillebilly]

Brad Delp's voice was a gift, ethereal. RIP

[@Henry8VIII8]

The nicest man in rock and roll

[@livingandriding]

This was one of the songs EVERYBODY DANCED TO. I graduated that year, 1976, when this song came out and it was a mind blower! We all just went nuts. It was great to be an 18 year old, cruising and blasting this song...Boston is one of the best, up their with Zeppelin, Doobies, Eagles, Boz Scaggs, Frampton, Heart etc.........

[@Prone2Thrill]

IMO this is the best DEBUT album ever. I can't believe one man did so much...in a basement! Brad Delp is magical as well

[@mikelightning7682]

Tom Sholtz, the creative genius behind the band, worked with my father as an engineer at Polaroid in Cambridge in the 70's. I remember him bringing home Boston's 1st album, telling me a friend of his was in the band, I was 10 years old at the time.

[@longshot398]

Tom was also a MIT graduate, the amount of time he put into all the electronics was worth the wait. I heard it when it first came out.

[@markbender379]

That is so cool! Boston is iconic...just one listen and you know they are on a totally different level!

[@neechee5150]

@@longshot398 said, "the amount of time he put into all the electronics was worth the wait". What specific electronics are you referring to? There is no Rockman, no Rock modules or Rockman prototype on this record. Marshall built Toms amp. Sculley built his tape machine. Dan Flickinger built Toms console. The "powersoak" that Tom used for this record was a large variable resistor from a theater lighting system.

Simply epic, Being the age I am. I remember when this song came on the radio for the first time. I was BLOWN AWAY, nothing like I ever heard before. Had to go and buy the album and wore it out. To this day I still get chills every time I hear this song.

[@kylegonzales1402]

The best song from one of the best albums of the 70s. I hope this has more people go back and listen to that entire first Boston album. It’s an Eat Pray Love Listen To Boston kind of thing. ♥️

[@nursekate6772]

Had one of my 3 sons talk about "Old people music"....so I started playing my 70s and 80s music in the car on our way to his hockey game and he LOVED my music. Asked me where I got it from....imagine his surprise when I told him that it was from my teen years. Well, now him and all his high school hockey buddies JAM this music before every hockey game!!😂😂

[@Ironsights51]

One of the greatest songs ever. It’s impossible to listen to this with a massive smile on your face.

[@jacksoncole6672]

I'm 63 and have a big smile on my face listening to Boston

[@dazed1nyc]

I started playing guitar when i was 11 and i remember every time id be playing in my room, as soon as there was a little break in the action, my mom would yell from downstairs "PLAY BOSTON!" To the point that it became an inside joke between us. To this day she says Boston is the most underrated band of all time and she might just be right.

[@fannyfayvintage7668]

I'm that kind of mom! Rock on!

[@Hogprint25]

Love that!

[@justafreethinker]

The genius that is Boston and that unmistakable, epic sound yes, Momma? They altered music and changed the game. ANOTHER great job MS. O.G.!!!!!!!!

[@jeffcobb2734]

It's one of the all time best selling rock albums of all time for a reason!

[@ronsuper100]

What a timeless, euphoric, classic gem!!! Great video of reactions!!! Thank you for your hard work!!!

[@TheTussman]

I'm have a BA. in Mass Media '78, so this tune is right in my swingzone in two ways. Damn, your cuts and fades are timed perfectly, with enough subtle and bold context to keep it all rolling. Great work! My first lab in '74 I had to splice film of a girl on a swing from 3 angles while swinging and it required patience and tact. Sure, we have great technology today, but you have to have skills. WonderMommaOG proves it.

[@WonderMommaOG]

wow, thank you. Forgive me, I am taken aback when someone "in the biz" so to speak compliments my work. I agree with the skills but will add that instinct is almost as important. Thanks again.

[@TheTussman]

@@WonderMommaOG I agree - from instinct comes skill.

[@drake6143]

Always loved this song, really sounds like the 70s

[@margaretstutts4362]

Foreplay/Long Time is one of the best songs of all time. Thank you again Momma. I’m watching again because it’s Boston. 🤷‍♀️

[@Billy-zv6gv]

Great compilation of great reactors to a great song+! Thanks again, WonderMomma!🎵👏🎉

[@EricRAMON-bb6wu]

More 60's and 70's bands ! More ! More ! Long life for all old people !

[@blakebufford6239]

Back then we were so used to great music for soooo long from the 50's on through the 70's. You heard it on the radio every day and I think we knew these songs were great but took them for granted. It's amazing to me so many young people are hearing these for the first time. I don't think anything today compares with it. I think thats why they are blown away.

[@jacksoncole6672]

Boston was a festival to your hearing. I loved listening to them growing up. 70s was heaven.

[@terriertz5134]

You killed it again WonderMommaOG. This song is and will always be epic.

[@mariebishop7357]

I always look forward to your reaction compilations. Thanks for this.

[@joepatriot6431]

Tom Sholtz started this all in a basement studio. He played all parts of these songs and mixed and cut. He actually had the first album almost complete before the band was actually formed. Pure genius and a little luck.

[@neechee5150]

@joepatriot6431 Not quite. Tom did not play all of the instrument tracks on this record. First Tom does not play a single drum track on this record and the record is much better off for this fact. All drum tracks are played by Sib exception for one, and Jim Masdea plays drums on that track Barry is playing electric rhythm guitars on Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home Tonight. Barry plays the lead guitar solos on Long Time and he plays lead and slide guitar on Let Me Take You Home. Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad plays acoustic 12 string on Let Me Take You Home which he also wrote. These facts came out in the litigation between Tom and Barry. All of Brads vocals were recorded at two studios in LA by producer John Boylan, and this record was mixed at Westlake Studios by producer John Boylan, engineer Warren Dewey and Tom with assistance from Steve Hodge.

Outstanding!!! Thank you so much for making these. Such joy!

[@dionshare7103]

Boston is a band that I absolutely love. So underrated. As far as the classics go they are definitely one of my favorite. And this song is of course a great one. As far as I'm concerned Boston doesn't have a bad song.

[@patriciaroberts308]

Thanks Momma, reliving my teen years through your channel!! Up the volume, singing too loud, dancing till I'm out of breath... No cares in the world, looking forward to the next vinyl hit.. Well, maybe one awful worry, debate & speech classes!!! I absolutely hate public speaking, still!! 😉 ✨💖✨

For me growing up in the late seventies into the 80s gave me such a wide variety of music exposure. Summers at the pool as a kid hearing GREAT music on the radios, rock, soft rock, metal.. it really was a great time to experience. Hell so many great genres of music you can’t eliminate. From Blues all the way up to Punk, so many great performers!!! Experience it all guys and appreciate it! Life is shorter the longer you live! Build those moments!

Ryan and George [Lost In Vegas] are so spot on. This album came out during my senior year in H.S. and every time I hear this song, it brings a smile to my face. It's an anthem and I'm so happy to see others get the same joy out of it. Thank you, once again, @WonderMommaOG, for another great mashup. 👏🥲

I checked out my tried - n true Bro Action, Trash Talkers, and Lost in Vegas, who I haven't seen for , well, a long time...Gotta check out Mr. Video and HollaatKrazy, too, as they look espesh fun.

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Way to bring the musical tmesis, #Momma. I never noticed how much Foreplay sounds like Styx. (#MrVideo passed out was a hoot.) Clapping along with #BizMatic (Luv ya, #Biz!) #AirplayBeats with the musician's view. #WonderMommaOG proves once again that any flat old pancake can be pumped up full again-just add reactors. I'm a year older, but now I know that a BBQ Playlist exists. And apparently, Boston belongs on it. RIP Delp. Thanks, #Momma!

[@MDElam]

Another great compilation (and I'm glad to hear you got your stuff back--yikes)! I'm really a consumer of reactions, so I don't know how you reactors/compilers think about this, but I have a legit question: Is there ever a worry that the well will run dry? I suppose there's a ton of stuff out there, but I don't know how much metrics, etc., versus just stuff you like, drive all this. In any case, I really appreciate the artistry in your work, so thank you!

[@joesmith8916]

I was a teenager when Boston came on the scene. Their music was so perfect and modern sounding we all thought it had to be produced electronically somehow. There was just no way real living, breathing human beings could produce music like this.

[@philstone3859]

Killer! Mr. Video is hilarious! 😆

[@nyghtmareinmi]

And to think this guy did all the instruments BY HIMSELF, and only hired a backing band when on tour

[@neechee5150]

@nyghtmareinmi This is patently false. First off as documented in the liner notes of every copy of this record, Sib plays drums on every track on this record except one. Jim Masdea plays drums on Rock and Rollband. Barry plays electric rhythm guitar on Foreplay, Long Time and Let Me Take You Home. Barry plays all of the lead guitar solos on Long Time as well as the huge power chords. Barry plays lead and slide guitar on Let Me Take You Home which was written Brad. Fran plays bass on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home. Brad plays acoustic guitar on Let Me Take You Home which was recorded at The Record Plant LA by the band as pictured on the back of the record. The band was formed before the record released.

[@nyghtmareinmi]

@@neechee5150 Having recorded nearly all of the band’s demos in his basement by himself through overdubs (only the drums and Brad Delp’s vocals weren’t recorded by Scholz), Scholz decided he wanted to adopt the same technique to record the album proper.

[@nyghtmareinmi]

@@neechee5150 In order to achieve this, Scholz paired up with Epic-approved producer John Boylan and concocted an elaborate ruse: Boylan would meet with Epic representatives to assure them that the album was going well and being recorded in Los Angeles. In reality, Scholz was recording the album largely on his own in his basement studio in Boston.

[@neechee5150]

@@nyghtmareinmi There is something that Tom continues to leave out of the narrative. When Tom submitted the drum tracks for the record, Boylan rejected them because they were too amateurish to use on the record. To remedy this deficit, Boylan hired LA engineer Paul Grupp to go to Toms home studio to tutor him on how to record acoustic instruments properly as well as proper mic technique. Boylan then gave Tom a directive to re-record all drum tracks and to rerecord the acoustic instrument tracks using the skills and knowledge gained from Grupp. Tom did in fact record the drum tracks that we hear on the record whether is is Sib playing the track or JIm Masdea on Rock and Roll Band. As for who played on what tracks the information in my previous post is confirmed as fact in legal documents involved in the lawsuits between Tom and Barry. Tom had to tell the truth this time around, and he made those statements under oath. These facts are also further documented as the facts and truth by Tom himself in the post litigation liner notes of the 2006 Scholz (not Sony) remaster of the debut Boston record. The entire song Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was recorded at The Record Plant LA by the band as pictured on the back of the record. Sans the vocals to Let Me Take You Home, Brads vocals were recorded by Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C. These facts are all documented in the Mix Magazine interview of producer John Boylan who was the architect and mastermind of the "ruse" to keep Epic execs at bay while Tom worked on the tracks that he submitted for the record. These facts are also documented in the legal documents pertaining to the lawsuits that I mentioned and in the post litigation liner notes of the Scholz (not Sony) 2006 remaster of the debut Boston record.
