Young Opera Singer Reacts To Boston - More Than A Feeling

The worst part about trying to cover a Boston song is this . . . how the heck to you copy that voice?!?!?!

[@NeurodivergentMetal]

This whole album was written and recorded by Tom Scholz (The guy in the silver jump suit with the gold guitar) in the basement of his Boston apartment building in 1974/75 which was unheard of back then. He also built a lot of his own recording equipment (He was an engineer at Polaroid) and helped to make home recording what it is today with some of the gear he designed. The fact that he got these kinds of sounds in a basement with home-made gear in the mid 70s is incredible. And he wrote great songs on top of it (He played all the guitar and bass parts along with the organ, the guy is crazy talented). Your reaction to Brad's high notes was awesome, great job as always!

[@0okamino]

I’ll go ahead and blow some very deserved smoke up Tom Scholz a bit more, by pointing out that he wasn’t just any engineer for Polaroid (which is already impressive enough); by age 27, he was one of the senior design engineers there.

[@michaelvielhaber9342]

Let Me Take you Home Tonight was written by Brad, and Smokin' was also co-written by Brad

[@gavinsheridan4680]

If one didn’t already know this was the 70s, the phrase “silver jumpsuit with the gold guitar” would give it away.

This absolute timeless classic album was released in 1976. It's sounds just as good to me now as it did when I was a kid in 1976!

@jeanclaude7018 Why what you like is terrific, a classic - while what someone else likes "sucks"... Is an old old OLD argument - as old as when Cain complained that Abel was gettin' favored treatment from Adam.

[@jimgeminelli6308]

@spo That was bulsh*t. Sure Donna Summer was good and she got a lot of fans because she was hot, but Brad Delp is more relevant than her today.

[@jeanwinders9556]

For all the back & forth they were all born in Boston. Lots of talent and drive for perfection

[@VetvsWorld]

Fact. I was six then, but recall distinctly appreciating it a few years later. One of the reasons I’m a metalhead probably. 🤣

Definitely good to see I was a teen in the 70's and 80's Boston never got old , and we do think we grew up in the greatest time to be alive with our music . I'm 60 now and still listen to Boston.

[@trex9263]

Brad Delp's voice is just so easy to listen to. Some people can hit high notes but it may not sound the greatest. Yet, Brad Delp can hit those high notes and it is so pleasing to hear. RIP Brad. You are missed.

[@jimgeminelli6308]

The look on your face when Brad Delp started hitting the high notes - I started to cry. A child of the '80s, I've been a lifelong Boston fan, and I've always appreciated his vocal talents. I was saddened when that voice was silenced so young in the 2000s... To see how you react to Brad Delp's gift makes me so happy, thank you!

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I think you had a totally fitting reaction to Brad Delp’s singing- you clearly grasped the significance of his astonishing high notes. It’s been said he had a genuine four octave vocal range. I wouldn’t quite know myself, but I do know one thing. These still have to be some of the greatest high notes ever hit in rock.

[@rogerdodger6025]

In many ways Boston was the Tom Scholz show but he was extremely fortunate to have Brad Delp as a vocalist. I couldn't imagine anyone else singing those songs. He hit those high notes with effortless ease. That is truly talent.

[@stiofandundealgan1280]

The melody, the guitar, the drums and that exceptional voice, this is the perfect song ! One of the best songs of all time !

The magic of Brad Delp!

[@tbmike23]

The band Boston was one MIT student.who had an idea of what a rock band should sound like, set up a studio in his home, and began recording all the parts, then one day he stumbles on a man with this voice, and the rest is history. What amazes me about his upper register, is when he taps into it, the electric guitar comes in for the pre-chorus, and I genuinely have a difficult time telling his voice apart from the guitar.

[@Pete-ov7kj]

They’re all perfectly seamless. To pick the end of one and beginning of the other is beyond the ken of us mere mortals. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@0okamino]

Fortunately, the proof is in the pudding of the isolated voice track. It’s quite amazing!

Not underrated, everyone knows the was great. There was a music change in the 80's (MTV would not play rock), lots of new wave, new bands. Very few rock bands from the 70's were able to keep up and stay relevant.Just listen to David Bowie sound from the 70's and then the 80's.

From Boston's debut album, which is a masterpiece. Brad had such an incredibly powerful voice. Rest in Peace.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

Shockingly, Rolling Stone magazine did not include Boston's album in their 2022 list of "100 Best Debut Albums of All Time".

[@ZiggieZoo]

It's Rolling Stone. What do they know?

[@ZiggieZoo]

@Spo-Dee-O-Dee True enough. I like what I like and dislike what I dislike. I trust my ears and mind to provide me with my enjoyment response to music. I don't need music journalists telling me that. That's all I meant. There are hugely popular acts that I despise and obscure bands that I love.

[@ZiggieZoo]

@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Music is so unreal to me. I like some bands many hate and despise others with unreal popularity. My musical tastes are best described as bizarre. That is pretty much why I only focus on what pleases me and not others. The Boston debut came out when I was 12 years old. It's a keeper. I couldn't listen to Lamb of God at first, but I love it now. I grew up on Judas Priest, very early Iron Maiden, Rush, and Triumph. I can go from Amon Amarth to Kenny G.

[@maverickblackhorse3068]

remember when Bostons first album came out. It was the being played everywhere it seemed. Every song was fantastic. The second album was fire too!

If you haven't already, check out Pat Benatar. She was a classically trained singer who was accepted into the Juilliard School of Music but chose a different path and married her high school sweetheart. Her mother was an opera singer who gave it up to raise her kids. Fortunately, Pat found her way back to music. Fun fact: Pat & her guitarist Neil Giraldo have been working together since 1979 and married since 1982. Pretty remarkable.
