That is Brad Delp's real voice (no auto tune, no artificial electronics to stretch his notes). He really can sing that high ( I believe Beato put it at E over high C). Such a loss when he died.
I always thought there was some kind of production effect that allowed the tone/pitch that Delp is reaching. Until seeing the video, I really never appreciated the kind of talent in his voice, because I always thought it was studio effects. I still don't understand how he can transfer through his range so smoothly and powerfully. He's certainly a unique talent.
@Scott Laughlin I respect that but FM radio ruined bands like them, not their fault and I'll say their debut is right there w/ Zep's debut, GNR and VH!
Today's music is very varied. Don't listen to standard radio stations, dig around the Internet a bit and you'll find a ton of great music, including new, guitar-driven bands, all over the place. I'm 64 and I am glad I've expanded my music collection through all decades since the 1960s.

Guitarist, songwriter, and leader of Boston, Tom Scholz is known as being the M.I.T. graduate who recorded most of their debut album in his basement, using audio equipment he had designed himself. Later, he invented and produced the Scholz Rockman - a portable guitar sound processor with distortion, chorus, and delay settings that you could use with headphones or record , to get a guitar sound like his.
One of the best debut albums of all time. Every song is a certified hit. Unfortunately, they were never able to live up to the expectations after this album. Literally, they were too successful.
For a very long time this self titled album was the best selling debut album of any band, ever. Every song was great and I honestly believe that their sound changed how other bands approached their music. This entire album is worth a listen just as you’ve done with Steely Dan and Zep and Floyd. Also, nice seeing you both on the livestream, technical difficulties aside. Thanks for the great song and reaction. 🔥✌️
Absolutely agree with everything you said here. I remember having this when it came out because my older brother bought it. And it CHANGED. EVERYTHING!
Even after he hits the high note on the second time around, you hear he is also tracking underneath the hight pitch of the guitar. In other words, it's not two guitars, it's the lead guitar and his voice. Insane. A vocal isolation of this track is a must hear to see what I mean. Rick Beato does a great job of taking this song piece by piece and points out Brad's vocals in the section I speak of.
The album and all instrumental tracks were laid down by Tom Schulz and the record company said if you can find the musicians who can perform it live in concert, we’ll produce it. Tom Shulz (who wrote the entire album music and all instruments 7 years earlier) went to a former student/friend Brad Delp to lay down the vocals and the rest is history!
Tom Scholz. He was living in and recorded the original demo in Watertown, Mass. which is a few miles outside the city and where the Boston Marathon bombers were caught in 2013.
The founder of Boston, Tom Scholz, is an MIT engineer who wrote all songs, played all the instruments on the whole debut album. He got Brad Delp (RIP) to sing. Knowing that, you will appreciate the fact that he engineered/produced the whole album at home.
I was 16 years old when this album dropped. Everybody I knew had it blasting out of their cars in the school parking lot. Another album hit around the same time, "Frampton Comes Alive," which is another story in itself. We had a smoking area at school behind the field house... and cigarettes weren't the only thing we were smoking. Boston had a song called "Smoking," and it was. "Rock and Roll Band,,, "We were just another band out of Boston, on the road & trying to make ends meet. playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars, and we practiced right on out in the street. No, we didn't make much money; we barely made enough to survive. But when we got up on stage and got ready to play, people came alive." Absolutely! I live in Macon, GA, and during the 70s, every band made the Georgia circuit: Atlanta, Macon & Savannah. Growing old is no picnic, but I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade anything for having grown up with the greatest live music ever. Macon is the birthplace of the Architect of Rock-n-Roll, Little Richard... always copied, without credit, but never surpassed. Y'all might want to react to some of his music. You guys are the BEST reactors, and I truly appreciate you both.
That was a drab era, recession and suburbia. But the music was fantastic. It roved your mind from the hopelessness of the times. That era had tons of party bands and rockers. AC/DC, Foghat, Pat Travers, George Thorogood, Scorpions, Blue Oyster Cult, etc etc... Sabbath and Zeppelin didn't get as much airplay as they deserved, nor did groups like Trapeze and even The Who took back seat to Beatles and Stones. But looking back: That deep recession created the music and a new crop of musicians. They didn't have the internet disease to occupy their hands. Play the instruments, because no internet disorders to steal the hands from practice. Plus mostly rabbit ears TV era, fiddling with an antenna with foil to get 7 or 8 channels, half with some fuzz. Music was fantastic because it was EVERYTHING in so many ways. It maybe was almost over the top. But compared to today? They got phones in classrooms with social media dysfunction and every 3rd kid has a first shooter addiction and guns at home. We never had such nonsense.
#1 selling debut album for 11 years, Every song got radio play.... Not many albums can say that...! It stands the test of time so well, you will listen to it for the rest of your life, and never tire of it....!
if you can find a good mix of the vocals-only track (with like 10% music in the background), it'll change your life. Brad was just amazing. This is one of my top five songs ever recorded by anyone. fun fact, the drummer was Dwayne Johnson's father-in-law.
Wore out countless air guitars on this entire album, especially when it first dropped. lol Fun fact, Sib Hashian's (Boston's drummer, RIP) daughter is married to Dwayne Johnson.
I really love when younger people love this type of music you two I really appreciate, you both have a great love for music Keep up the good work. I’m sixty eight and grew up with early rock country soul
First time I saw Steely Dan, they were with Boston at Robertson Gym UC Santa Barbara in June 1974…wow what a treat…first time I heard Michael McDonald as a backup singer…we were so spoiled! Went to see the Dan, got Boston too! Boston has a great story. Thanks for the reaction…it is crazy the amount of musical knowledge y’all have! The tix were $5.50!
The amazing thing is that this album was, primarily, recorded and then mastered in a basement studio. Another great album I bought when it came out after hearing this song on the radio back in '76.
I’ve often thought about what you were describing…what a crazy feeling it must be to able to tell as an artist that you are part of something special. To recognize it while it’s happening, not just in hindsight. Similar feeling I imagine to when you know you’re witnessing greatness or witnessing history or maybe just experiencing the highest level of esprit de corps with a team or a group.
Saw these guys in the 70s on their first tour into San Francisco playing at the old Winterland Area.they just released there first album and I didn’t know there music, I went to see the drummer of the opening act Y&T (Leonard Haze) there was a lot of buzz about him and he was as good as I’d heard about . That’s until Tom Sholtz walked onto stage by himself under a spotlight and ripped into a special effects guitar solo to start their set. Holy crap I’ve never seen that before. I was sold, they were incredible and I didn’t know their music. Thank guys.
You should literally do every song on the first album. Completely fire! Every song! Fun fact The drummer has a daughter who is married to the Rock Dewayne Johnson
i was fortunate enough to meet lead singer brad delp a few years before his tragic death. it was a meet and greet after attending the soundcheck for a concert. he was so kind and humble. a genuinely nice man who spent a few minutes with each of the about 50 people, talking and taking pictures. one of the greatest voices in rock and roll history. RIP
I saw Boston in concert - Toronto 1977 - and they sounded amazing, with Brad Delp hitting every note with perfection. As always, thanks for your reaction guys!
We used to listen to this so much and pass it around the neighborhood. We lost the cover, it was all scratched up. I always wondered who ended up with it😂. It was one of those rare albums that you loved every single track on it.
Legendary premiere album is considered one of the greatest album of that or any rock era!Tom was the genius behind the band producing it in his home studio and he played almost all the instruments by himself.
They're from Boston, and I'm from there . I was graduating college when this was released, and let me tell you this band was put on a pedestal raised to the stratosphere! You couldn't go anywhere without hearing this debut album... grocery stores, traffic jams, subway stations, you name it and Boston was in and on the air.
I didn't even know this until a few years ago but, every instrument and the lyrics were all done by one guy (the bassist I think) in his basement. He had some kind of technical degree from Harvard i think. He brought in Delp to sing and the rest of the band for concerts
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in my car and couldn't believe that a hard-ROCK band has such an exquisite singer in their band with the SOARING guitar riffs.. Blew me away.....RIP Brad Delp
I think I was 16 when this album came out . I had pretty broad musical tastes for a teenager and this really stood out. I loved it and so did everyone I knew
Oh, the memories!! I used to drag Main in my brothers HOT ROD listening to o\Boston on 8_track Saturday afternoons in our little hometown thinking I was all that!! (1977). He would make me wash, wax, detail his car and tap it off with a full tank of gas just to ride around in it for a couple of hours!! This was always my favorite song then and still is one of them. Request: 2CELLOS/cover for Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' LIVE Sydney Opera House. Keep Up The Great WORK You make me smile!!
Love Boston! First album i owned received as a Christmas present a little bit ago.... Here's a neat fact. Farwell tour ended in Worcester Ma at the Centrum. They said they would do another concert if they sold it out, and had 7 concerts before the venue was needed. They are BOSTON along with J Giels Thanks.

Thanks, guys for helping us all slip away from the sad news, and problems we face in these hard times. You're greatly appreciated for your knowledge and great tunes.
My first cassette in the late 70s when I bought my first old car. Wherever you would find a big V8, you would find a copy of this. Was required listening.
Their first two albums are great! Don’t look Back is my fav of the two but I’d be in the minority on that call. They had two really good guitarists Tom Scholtz and Barry Goudreau! Rumor Is that Tom Scholtz wrote And recorded the album himself before the band was added. One of my first favorite bands as a kid. Boston, Kiss, Styx, Foreigner, Beatles and AC/DC were my firsts! Great reaction guys!
This Gospel Music Family Would Make A Very Successful Transition To Mainstream Music,, The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There",, "Respect Yourself" & "Uncloudy Day"
Not much I can say that others haven't or will say about this amazing debut album, and the genius of Tom scholz and talent of Bradley Delp RIP. I will just add that the song hitch a ride is probably my favorite from this record. You guys should definitely check that out It is transcendent
Tom built his sound equipment from scratch. Not sure anyone will match that since it was also the studio equipment he made his retirement money recording this album on. Internet around now means no musician themselves will do anything like that ever again. Internet access saps that time away. That's why not as many great musicians per Capita today. Not practicing music when holding a phone. Average person uses phone 3+ hours daily. You can be a good musician practicing music 3 hours daily.
That is Brad Delp's real voice (no auto tune, no artificial electronics to stretch his notes). He really can sing that high ( I believe Beato put it at E over high C). Such a loss when he died.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Check Rick Beato. He does a very good breakdown of each track in the song isolated.
I always thought there was some kind of production effect that allowed the tone/pitch that Delp is reaching. Until seeing the video, I really never appreciated the kind of talent in his voice, because I always thought it was studio effects. I still don't understand how he can transfer through his range so smoothly and powerfully. He's certainly a unique talent.
Every single track of their debut album is a straiaght smash hit. Their debut is one of the top debut albuns of all time.
As much as you can't stand hearing the songs anymore there's no denying the truth here❗️
@@klasseact6663I’m 57 and never tired of hearing any of the songs on this album. That voice!

Foreplay/Longtime is another great song off of their iconic premier album of all time!!
Haven't you reacted to Foreplay/Longtime already? If not, you must, and you're in for a treat!
This Is Their Debut Album & It's Absolute Fire From The First Track To The Very Last..TRUTH!!
One of the greatest debut albums in rock ever.
Crazy thing is, they walked out of the studio on their debut album eight times saying "yeah, nailed it, another #1 hit". Insane.
Dudes voice is crazy. He gets to a point where he’s at an unbelievable high level and power, then takes it even higher. Definitely more Boston!
A time when a band played hard guitar driven music nothing better, it is surely missed in today’s music

First album I ever bought and 45 years later still listening to it regularly. NEVER get tired of it.
Foreplay/ longtime is a must hear......... their masterpiece ✌️fun fact, the drummers daughter is married to Dwayne Johnson
I remember when this album came out, it really blew us all away. Every song is a banger on their first album.
You can't go wrong with Boston...superior group! ❤
One of the best debut albums of all time. Every song is a certified hit. Unfortunately, they were never able to live up to the expectations after this album. Literally, they were too successful.
This song was used very effectively in the comedy "The Men Who Stare At Goats"
Guys there’s a bunch of bangers from Boston. No joke serious guitar rock/Arena rock
Foreplay/Longtime should be your next Boston song. It will blow your freaking minds!
I'd vote Peace of Mind but no bad choice there
Run it all.
The only Album I ever owned where every song front to back is great !!!!
For a very long time this self titled album was the best selling debut album of any band, ever.

was lucky enough to have seen them back then. they were fantastic.

Yes. My hometown... Tom Sholtz was a genius. Invented musical gadgets... and created BOSTON in his basement studio. MIT guy. :)
Their first two albums are great! Don’t look Back is my fav of the two but I’d be in the minority on that call. They had two really good guitarists Tom Scholtz and Barry Goudreau! Rumor

Boston ahead of there time in music 🎶 🎵 🙌
Being that you two are producers, you should check out the history of how this album was created. A fun story that both of you would enjoy.
Tom built his sound equipment from scratch. Not sure anyone will match that since it was also the studio equipment he made his retirement money recording this album on.

So happy for you two to recognize the song from your memories. It’s like finding that last puzzle piece for the full picture. Great pick!❤
It’s quite simple. GENIUS
This is why I love to listen to you guys
What Tom did in that basement was next level, that very few if any would ever accomplish!
Brad Delp born in Peabody Mass. lived many years in Danvers Mass. R.I.P. 🙏🏻❤️🔥
