When this album came out seems like everybody went and got it including me. Not one bad song on this whole album. One of the best debut albums ever
Was the #1 debut album for 11 years.
Definitely I just wish I was alive at that time to get the album lol
Still have my album!😀
@@roniboyd613 I have it on my playlist
@@roniboyd613 nice
That is Brad Delp's real voice (RIP). NO AUTOTUNE!! He hits that very high note on his own and the brilliant music editing of the founder Tom Scholz ties it perfectly to the guitar at the end.
Check out Rick Beato's YT channel where he does "What Makes This Song Great". He isolates the voice track and you can hear clearly that Brad Delp delivered all those notes, no question.
@@bobr4987 Yes he does a great review of this song and improved my appreciation of the song even more.
Brad Delp's voice....❤❤❤💯💯💥
He was SUCH a Monster. If ONLY he had reached out..... 😭😭😭😭
@@RaincloudmusicTFS6 It seemed to me, from what I heard at the time, that he DID reach out, in a way, and nobody else was much interested in trying to recapture the glory days, and I guess Brad felt he didn't have much else going for him. So sad - he had so much more to offer than he realized.
If ever you were to do an entire album reaction - one song after the next - this album should be high on your list to do! Truly.
Not one bad song on this one.
Brad Delp has one of the best voices ever; he can hit those high notes (countertenor) and hold them and NO AUTO TUNE!! The harmonies, the guitar solos, the drums.. This is a perfect song. RIP Brad. xx
"Foreplay/Long Time", "Rock and Roll Band", "Smokin'" are some of my favorites. So many great Boston songs that are so well written that you'll feel like you've heard them even if you haven't.
Foreplay/ long time yessss guitar hero memories also 😆
Peace of Mind. Basically anything off of their debut album, the whole album is front to stern hits. Not a bad song on the album and almost every song on it gets semi-regular radio play to this day.
OMG, 'Hitch A Ride'!!! BRAD'S VOICE was angelic!!!!
I wore this album out! Lol. Love it!
It blows me away how Music reactors never heard of the groups we grew up on! Are we that old?!!!!! Great reaction as always, Asia and BJ!!!!
Yeah, we are that old... 🤣but it's fun to watch the younger reactors discover the music for the first time the same way we did.
Yeah, bad news, mate. We are definitely that old. Hehe!
Maybe we are lol I turned 60 yesterday and I heard this when 16. It just feels like yesterday for me
I'm 62, so we are in the same age range.
Those of us who were privileged to experience the 70's now realize ever so more at the sheer number of musical masterpieces produced during that era.
alone. I was 18 yo when this album was released- live music existed everywhere as did Hi FI (High Fidelity)
Analog Sound systems which many of us possessed allowing us to really experience the sound!
Brad Delp could hit notes only Dogs can hear! This entire Album is considered by most as one of thee GOAT Rock albums ever created period. Every song is absolute fire and hopefully you start doing more Boston!
I just wish that they had seen this song done Live on video with Brad Delp holding those notes; they are really missing out! They need to experience the whole thing! RIP Brad. x
That is one comparison I need to remember, "...only dogs can hear!"
I have never met a person who does not love this song. More universal appeal than any song around. Tell me if you don't think the guitars sound like an an aural expression of the agony of long ago letting someone get away - we all have our Maryanne, don't we....... Its like the guitar is doing the crying. It is absolute perfection.
This song is about Scholz smoking Marijuana in Collage. Mary ann… Stoners tripping. 🚬😎🎸
@@__-bc4bs Marianne was a much older cousin of his
This one is in my top 5 songs of all time, never get tired of hearing it.
Yeah, it has perfect amount of everything - it's not heavy, but still has some amazing riffs, the lyrics reflect on a very familiar feeling a lot of people can relate to, while it's not a happy song (the regret of letting someone go), it's also not depressing to listen to. The overall instrumentation is phenomenal, the vocals are out of this world. If I was forced to pick a song that I had to listen to forever, this would be one of my top candidates.
Mine would be Stair way LED ZEP, Fox on the run THE SWEET ,Slow ride FOG HAT smoke on the water DEEP PURLLE Hair of the dog NAZARETH Some thing bout the 1970s Baby
Boston is a top 5 rock band of all time.
And they should be in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame..
This is literally in my official list Top Five Songs Ever Recorded. It's flawless and transcendent. If you're able to find a GOOD recording of the isolated vocal track, you won't believe that Brad could sound any more amazing than he already did.
Every man FEELS the line, "I closed my eyes and she slipped away."
Your” Every Man” reply is right on 100%. Mine was named Marry Ann. Wow!! Who knew. Great line in the song. Glad you pointed that out. 😎
@@johnroberts1009 Man, sometimes I can't even listen to this song......if I'm down about anything, it'll remind me of *my* "Mary Ann," and sometimes I just don't need that. ;)
You need to watch the making of More Than A Feeling to really understand the genius of Tom Sholz, who more or less is Boston. Every sound on this song, except the drums and lead singer is Tom Sholz. He recorded this whole album in his basement by himself, at night after working at his regular job. The recording equipment he even built himself.
He is an MIT graduate. He also designed and built his own amps in his basement.
Scholz is a genius. Almost impossible to reproduce this sound because of that one effects pedal he has the only copies of…which he built.
As noted by other commenters, this is a perfect album -- the writing, the production, the engineering -- everything. One of the greatest debut albums ever.
@@ilikejohnhurt Now days it is quite easy to produce the Boston guitar sound. There are digital plug ins that can and do out Rockman the Rockman which BTW was not a guitar effects pedal. The heart of the guitar sound on this record is a Marshall amp being driven hard and some serious eq work. The pedal that you are alluding to his the so called hyperspace pedal which is nothing more than a modified echo plex tape delay echo machine, and the DigiTech Whammy Pedal and a good digital effects processor can cover just about any sound Toms hyperspace pedal does
I challenge you to listen to "A Man I'll Never Be" without getting choked up, especially knowing that the singer (Brad Delp) killed himself. You can't just listen to one song. Don't Look Back, Foreplay/Long Time, Feeling Satisfied, well... literally anything from their 1st & 2nd albums...every song was a huge hit. I like their 3rd album, but not as much as the first 2. If you liked rock, you couldn't have lived in the 70s & 80s without loving them.
First album was legendary though not so much their second album which fell somewhat flat in comparison with one or 2 exceptions and that is by the large majority of rock fans and critics!
And "Heaven on Earth"...and "Hitch a Ride"...and "Higher Power"...and....
@@joelliebler5690 Second album was rushed by the music company. It could have been so much more.
Be sure to check the entire first album. You’ll love it all!!! I promise!!
You can't get any more "classic rock" than this song... well, a lot of their songs. Just feel-good songs, great guitar and voice harmonies. Brad Delp, the lead singer - what a powerful voice, just amazing!
This song NEVER fails to make people smile!
Ok, now you've done it. Besides Journey you hit one of my other sweet spots. Can't go wrong with Boston. You could literally play every song off their first 3 albums and not find a dud. Tom Scholz, who was a M.I.T. grad and lead guitar for the band created the sound of the band Boston. He played every instrument and put the first album together in the studio in his basement. He would send the other band members to the label's studio while he was secretly working because he did not want the label to screw up his sound. Brad Delps vocals added are phenomenal. Their first album was considered by many as the best debut album in history. Just start with the first album and play the songs in order. My favorite by them is actually on their second album, "The Man I'll Never Be". BTW, Marianne was Tom Scholz's older cousin when he was about 9 and she was maybe 16. He had kind of a crush on her back then and was the inspiration for this song. Thanks and God Bless.
A little further... Tom Scholz also created the guitar effects processor called the "Rockman" that gave his guitar those spacey sounds.
Wait, Journey has more than one song!?
@@bobr4987 The Rockman is not a guitar effects processor. The Rockman is a guitar pre amp with on board effects that was intended to be used either in front of a traditional guitar amp, as a DI or as a headphone/practice amp. In addition, all of those "spacey sounds" are coming from what Tom calls the Hyperspace Pedal which is a modified Echoplex tape delay echo machine
You won't find a bad song on Boston's first two albums. They are Tom Scholz' masterpiece works.
Probably the best debut album in rock!! Every song is great!
For me, this song could be talking about itself, as it takes me back to a day in high school each time I hear it.
I thought the same thing. I don't think it's an irony but it's still a cool and strange observation. It's like "yeah Brad, I get exactly what you're saying!" lol
Me too. Specific moments of 1977 come back in all their detail.
Bingo,,,,😎
Brad Delp has one of the best voices and range ever. R.I.P. Brad Delp!
Fell in love w rock n roll when I first heard this at 8 years old. Still my favorite song ever. Imo pure perfection.
🔥Foreplay/Longtime🔥
🌟Peace Of Mind
🌟Don't Look Back
🌟Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Boston is in my top 10 bands of all time!
The guitar player recorded this album in his very small basement. By himself and played all instruments except for vocals.
The band "Boston" came out in 1975. We teenagers all bought their album. I'm 58, grew up in the city of Boston.
Dude, I’m 22 in the US Army in Germany married to this beautiful lady when I loved this song. Lol. I’m 70 now. Lol
Boston-"Something about You", is a fire song!
Yes, "Something about you" is criminally underrated.
I seen them in the winter of 1978 that's when music concerts were exactly what you see and more and this song was about a boy I cried and loved but I was just one of many Great concert and I enjoy your taking the time to enjoy my music keep on Rockin 🤘 love your love also I sold my soul for Rock and Roll PS I am 59 years old and still rocking out 🤘🤘🤘🤘💙💙💙💙🎄🎄🎄🎄
I'm not a Boston fan BUT everyone has to accept This song is a marvel.
agree
AND...four track TAPE equipment...not 128 track digital. Wow.
Not sure if you know this but Boston was so good they named a city after them. My favorite song from them is Don't Look Back.
Yes mine too it just goes off and makes me feel so alive
This song is my favorite rock song of all time. Their debut album is the biggest selling rock album of all time.
My son says some songs transcend generations. We both LOVE ❤️ this one!
On of the greatest singles/album tracks ever recorded. Sounds amazing on the radio.
Jaw dropping vocals. Utterly amazing
Great, great band. One of those bands whose very first album is a masterpiece- not a bad song on it. Huge radio hits off this album.
The smile on Asia's face says everything that needs to be said.
Their other songs: Don't Look Back, A Man I'll Never Be, Foreplay/Long Time, Amanda, Party, Rock And Roll Band, Something About You, Peace Of Mind, Hitch A Ride, Let Me Take You Home Tonight, Smokin, Feelin' Satisfied, and others. This is a great classic from them. This was the first song of theirs that I've heard.
Boston first album considered one of the best albums ever.. songs like “ peace of mind” foreplay long time” are other classics
regarded by many as.... the greatest debut albums ever produced
You know an album is a classic when a song like, "Hitch a Ride" (the one you should do next) is considered the 4th or 5th best when it would be the biggest hit on 95% of other albums.
Excellent point. The dueling guitar solo is one of the best ever done even if it is Tom Schultz on both guitars.
"Amanda" is a sweet love song from Boston, but I love all their music. 🎶 🎵 🥰🔥❤
Gen X'er here. I LOVE your channel, and I forgot how much I loved this song! Hope y'all had a great Christmas!! More Boston, please!! :)
From a young boomer, 60 yesterday, Hi from Australia
Over the years I've had this album on vinyl, 8-track, cassette and cd. Sounds just as good today as it did in the 70's Seeing the smile on Asia's face was pure gold. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.
"Feelin' Satisfied" from 1978's 'Don't Look Back' was always, and always will be, a very favorite song from Boston for me....Just a great beat, and everything sounds perfect..(as it always does with Tom Scholz). It is Rock & Roll we need to keep going strong. .
Love Feelin satisfied
Don't look back is my favourite!
When I was mad at my parents as a teen, I would always play this album. Always made my mood better!
You two are hitting all the greats today. One of those songs that when I listen to it, my neighbors listen to it as well. Great reaction, thanks!
This album is by FAR one of THE BEST and AMAZING albums to EVER be released! The ENTIRE album is hit after hit! Not one bad song on it.
You need to listen to all of Boston songs. It will be a treat. Grew up with them and they have always been my favorite band
You two should be incredibly grateful of the honor of hearing a song of such importance.
If there is such a thing as an "instant classic" this is an example.
The Boston rabbit hole will uncover many songs you most likely have heard before. This, their debut album is one of the most successful albums [still] in history. Every song is a banger and recorded by one person and a vocalist in his basement. This is basically his demo tape that became the final cut with a Very slight tweek being the difference to appease the record executive.
The first two Boston albums were fantastic, "Foreplay/Long Time" (two songs that run together and should be listened to together), Smokin', Rock and Roll Band, A Man I'll Never Be, Peace of Mind," Hitch a Ride, Something About You, Let Me Take You Home Tonight, Don't Look Back.
I have lived in the city of Boston for over 35 years and this music has a special place for me. Some interesting facts.... The entire first album was written by guitarist, MIT grad and mastermind Tom Sholz in the basement of his home. He played all instruments except drums and vocals. Vocals were provided by the late, great Brad Delp.
I remember my stepsister had this LP, and I heard her play this song and I just stared at the cover. I thought it was so cool. Even as a little kid, I was amazed how awesome it sounded. Now, knowing every note and detail of this song so many years later, it still brings that same emotion. Great album top to bottom. One of the best lead vocalists too. R.I.P. Brad Delp.
The ENTIRE first album "BOSTON" every song was a radio hit. Greatest debut album of all time. Play any song from there - or the whole album!
Absolutely love Asia's facial reactions. It's like every ballad is being sung to her!
At one point every song of this debut album was being played on the radio.
Well "Higher Power", "Peace Of Mind", "Don't Look Back", "Cool The Engines", "Foreplay/Longtime" guaranteed you've heard part of this especially if you ever saw a Chicago Bulls game, "Feelin' Satisfied", "Amanda ", & "Rock & Roll Band".
Boston's first three albums are superb: Boston, Don't Look Back, and Third Stage! Please react to those! Thank you!
This entire album is a banger. BTW, the spaceships on the album cover are actually an upside-down guitar. Now that you've broken the seal, you need to go all the way. This entire album was created by an MIT engineer in his basement.
My all time favorite band! How have you never heard them before now??
Now,imagine being in 7th grade,and hearing this on the radio.Then you had to bug your parents to take you to the mall to buy the album.Sometimes they sold out.I was dating a boy for a few months,and let's just say he didn't play his cards right,and I broke up with him.I was friend's with his sister,and she told me he would come home from school every day for months and play this song,especially the part that says,I see my Maryann walking away! Yup,that's me,Maryann...💞
Boston's drummer Sib Hashian has a daughter named Lauren Hashian who is now married to Dewayne "the rock" Johnson.
Far out, didn't know that.
Loved seeing Asia enjoy this! Every song is a banger. "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Peace of Mind" are the best, IMHO.
BOSTON! Great albums. 3rd stage is an incredible album. It took 6 years to produce and no synthesizers used. The entire album is an incredible journey.
Piece of Mind,Foreplay/Longtime and Hitch A Ride are a few u definitely should check out!! Grew up on Boston😊💝
Still, to this day. One of the best selling debut albums ever, recorded
Boston is great. Love this song.
He's right, the production value of a Boston record was unparalleled. Multi-layered gorgeousness.
Great album ...with the flying saucer on the jacket .....every song a keeper !!!....
Ah...one of the iconic songs of the 1970s that could be heard playing in many a Trans Am and Chevy Van back in the day. It brings back memories 🙂 Thank you for sharing your reaction 🎶
One of THE all time best rock records ever! Brad Delp such a great singer may his soul have found peace. Every song on this record is a hit.
This is one of those rare albums, especially for a debut album, where EVERY song on the album was a hit and got radio airplay. Every. Single. Song. Monster album.
i remember listening to this album on the tape player in my car about 30 years ago lol
Tape player?! Just kiddin! I know what you mean!
Even at 60 it is still one of my favs...Great Pic Asia & BJ...Rock On! 🎸👍👍😎
The songwriter, Tom Scholz, said that this was inspired by the song "Walk Away Reneé" by the band Left Banke. So, that was probably the "familiar song" referenced in the lyrics. BJ is correct that the song is about associating memories with the music we listened to at the time. "Boston" is definitely worth a deep dive. As others have already mentioned, every song on their debut album (this song is track 1 of 8) is great and are still in heavy rotation on Rock radio stations. Other songs to check out from this album are: "Peace of Mind", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Smokin'", "Hitch a Ride", "Rock and Roll Band", "Something About You", and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight".
Thank you for playing my favorite song of all time. RIP Brad Delp.
This is one of those Songs/Albums that takes me back. I was in high school when this came out. We would leave at lunch and go to a beautiful wooded area and party and play this. Always nostalgic for me. Still amazing today.
aaah, those famous harmony guitars. i bought this album in 1976. if i recall right, it was the very first vinyl album in music-history that also had the cover printed directly on the vinyl.
Whole album is great not one bad song as Joe just said. More Boston please. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful song with us all. 😎
The greatest debut album ever! In fact, after engineering it in his basement Brad had to go put a band together so they could tour it. Hence, "The album in search of a band!".
Check out all of Boston's debut album, it's a classic. Every cut is worth a listen.
This song is super special to me with my dad. I grew up on 80s rock but early one morning before we went hunting we sang this in the truck and I shot my first buck and everytime after that ❤
One of the best debut albums of all time. Every song on this album was fantastic!!! They almost set themselves up for failure because this album was soooooo good. It seems like every song was played on the radio. Great reaction.
Boston Rocks! Keep exploring them.
My all time favorite band. How have you never heard them???
Great band! Guitarist, Tom Scholz, was also an engineer/inventor (MIT educated) - he created devices that gave that distinctive "sound" you noted, Asia, and that the band is known for. Listen to more of their stuff, I'm sure you guys will enjoy it :) ...
RIP Brad Delp. Just flawless vocals. Golden Pipes
Boston's first album. It was recorded in Tom Scholz' basement...before the band had a name or a record contract. For the vocals, Tom brought in his friend Brad Delp. They submitted what they recorded in Tom's basement as their "demo tape." And that's what you're hearing: No professional "studio recording" was ever made.
Absolutely too many good songs! This is quintessential guitar Jammin rock ‘n’ roll. So ahead of its time obviously done by a genius, Tom Scholz and Brad Delp was amazing! We need more.
Very cool to see you both get into one of the best rock songs of all time. I love introducing my younger friends to classic rock and amazing musicians. Brad Delp's voice is incomparable.
Asia recognizing the chorus was too cute. Boston was one of my favorite bands growing up.
Brad Delp is the lead vocalist. He has an extremely exceptional singing ability (see The Charismatic Voice / More than a Feeling) from a professional vocal coach on You Tube. Tom Schloz is the main composer of the music for Boston. He graduated from MIT with an engineering degree and engineered all the music for the group. All done in the basement of his home. All on tape, my auto tune, etc the old fashioned way. Extreme attention to detail. Maryann was his cousin and at the age of 10, he had a crush on her. 75 million albums sold from music in 1976! Thanks for the vid. Most people don’t realize the depth of this band. God bless
Boston is such a great band you gotta do more. "Feeling satisfied", "Foreplay/Longtime", "Rock and Roll band", and "Don't look back" are some of my favorites.
That was written in a basement by an engineer, all music parts. . Check the story. Really amazing
C'mon, you just can't help but smile when you're hearing Boston!!
One of best rock bands of all time ! Love them and the second one of their songs come on , you know right away who it is !! Great reaction as usual! Their whole catalog is so great ! Let name some of their biggest , smokin , don’t look back , Amanda , cool the engines , rock n roll band just to name a few
On the album,immediately after "More than a Feeling" that you just reacted to,it goes right into "Peace of Mind". Definitely check that one out and actually the rest of the ENTIRE album! You guys will be hooked and won't be able to stop listening to Boston! lol
This band sounded just as good live as they did on their recordings. I saw them live in Amarillo, TX, of all places.
Some groups have a decent lead….some have very good leads. Some have good guitars and some have have great. Boston had all of it you won’t normally hear That amazing vocal range and the back up singers as well along with such a great musicianship across the board. One very very very very solid group
@GS-xt8fu Brad Delp is the only vocalist on this record. Brad sings all lead and back up vocals on this record. There is no one else
This song is a whole vibe. You can see it on yalls face that yall were feeling it completely.
The first time I heard this song was the day my husband and I got married. Everything about this song is outstanding---the vocals, the guitar riffs, the bass line, the drumming, well produced in every way. Weren't we lucky to be alive when songs like this were made? This was my favorite song off this album. My second favorite is all of the rest.
