Boston's debut album is all killer and no filler.

Technically Tom Scholz's album as he wrote and recorded the whole thing, but sure, Boston's. 😉

I don't give that many songs a 10, but this song is an absolute 10. I wouldn't change a note. And those vocals!

I agree, this song truly is a 10 (and it's been a 10 for me since I was 7 years old when it first came out on the radio in 1976). This is the song by which I judge all others. I'm not a musician, but I've had a sincere appreciation of good music since I was a young child, and I cannot think of another song I've heard in the last 50 years that is better than this one. How this band is not in the Rock n Roll Music Hall of Fame I do not know (or understand). They are/were master of musicianship.

Slipped, not slips.. subtle difference but it's important to the context of the song. It's in past tense because he's older and remembering a love he used to have and now its gone. Very melancholy lyrics.

Every song on this album is great ..one of the best voices in rock music..

EVERY SONG on boston's first album are classics in their own right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Album was recorded in the home studio of Tom Scholz: He came into the recording industry in an unusual way; as an MIT-trained engineer interested in music, he had designed his own recording studio in an apartment building basement to record his own music. The first Boston album was mostly recorded in this basement studio, often using devices he designed and invented himself. After the initial success of the band, he founded Scholz Research & Development, Inc. to develop and market his own inventions, many under the Rockman brand.

Interesting facts are that Tom Scholz played all the instruments except for the drum. And a friend, Brad Delp sang all the vocal tracks. All instruments were recorded 2 or 3 times, and mixed together. A colossal work done over a 5 years period.

@@alainrobillard4300 Sadly, sometime between 11:00 pm on March 8 and 1:20 pm on March 9, 2007, Delp died by suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning at his home on Academy Avenue, in Atkinson, New Hampshire. He left various notes scattered from his car to the interior of his home. The Atkinson police discovered his body on the floor of his master bathroom after Pamela Sullivan saw a dryer vent tube connected to the exhaust pipe of Delp's car. Two charcoal grills were found to have been placed in the bathtub and lit, causing the room to fill with smoke. A suicide note was paper-clipped to the neck of his T-shirt, which read the same as a character's note from Twin Peaks: "Mr. Brad Delp. I am a lonely soul." Delp left four sealed envelopes in his office addressed to his children, his former wife Micki, his fiancée, and a couple who were not named by the media. He was 55 years old. The following day, Boston's website was temporarily closed down, the webmaster having replaced their home page with a simple black background and white text message: "We've just lost the nicest guy in rock and roll."

You can be having a bad day and this song, with Brad Delp's powerhouse four-octave range and music WAY ahead of its time, will turn your day around by the end of the song.

So true. I think this is one of the things missing from today's music. Ever since the 90s most music is either too dark or mindless, soulless pop.

I could watch you two forever. Your reactions are so raw and real, and you both really understand how to listen to music.

Thank God there are Educated and wise people like you in the world. Some of your insights surprise me because I would never even think of them. Brilliant! Thanks!

They're you go.. quintessential American rock from the late 70s...gold, pure gold.....thanks for this, peace.

One of the greatest guitar riffs of all time! 😎🔥🤘🎸

I wasn't even a teenager when this came out and I STILL remember it!.. It was that mind-blowing and still is. Boston reminds me of summertime rising around in a car/truck with the windows down and a pretty girl by your side.. Everybody has a "Marianne" :)

I wore out 2 cassette tapes in high school listening to Boston.

The groove on my LP is twice as deep as when I bought it new. :D

A classic song for the ages. Brad Delp could really hold the notes that long, & really had that range..., one of the greatest voices in rock history.

One of the finest rock songs ever...... Really happy you guys can experience it.

this is truly a great song. generational. Boston was the soundtrack of many lives back in the 70's. the airplay they received was off the charts. glad to see many people rediscovering them on here so many years later.

Rock on! I love Boston, I love this song and I loved your reaction to it. Man, I love you guys! I clapped, too!

You nailed it, More than a Feeling is a perfect song.

A great song is undeniable, no matter when it was written. This one really is in another league. I truly wish I could hear it for the first time again!

Nothing beats classic rock. I could tell that you guys felt it in your souls. It's beautiful music!

I like seeing the youth these days liking our music from our days.

What a joy it was to hear you react to this song! Boston is such a high caliber band, and their first album is legendary. I saw them in concert in Philadelphia, PA many years ago and they sounded incredible, like the studio version right there live.

The best song on the best debut album of all time. Epic. Simply epic. I was in high school when this came out. So many memories.

God Bless you. You have this song 100% right!!

This is probably the most perfect classic rock song.

How wonderful it is to see 2 people enjoy great music

Brad sang his own background vocals on these, he was that good. R.I.P.

There is a funny history behind this song. Tom Scholz as a young man had a boyhood crush on his older cousin Marianne. Scholz is a very talented man his bio is amazing. He wrote the songs played the music himself and then set out to find the band to play and sing his masterpiece. When He found Brad Delp it was magic...

Great classic rock song. It definitely is a feel good song. Boston’s debut album album is a masterpiece and is a must in anyone’s music collection.

I'm not sure Brad Delph was feeling "good" as he was thinking about [his] Marianne walking away from him...as I sort of interpreted the meaning of the sound to be that he was rather somewhat wistfully thinking about the way he felt about her...but it is a great song, none the less.

Boston's interlocking guitars and Brian Delp's vocals cannot be beat. I fell in love with this sound the first time I heard it. Thank you for your reaction!

Brad Delp was a gift to us all!

Such a beautiful song which just brings you a warm feeling all over. Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day.

Brad Delp (RIP) not only sang the lead vocals, he also backed himself up with all of the backing vocals as well - there wasn't a second singer (at least on the first album.) Tom Scholz did all of the instruments himself, except for the drums. He got Brad to do vocals. Then when the album became a hit and they needed to tour, Tom had to hire other musicians to play the other instruments :)

All instruments were played and recorded over each other by Tom Shulz (guitarist) for this one song and sung by Brad Delp who sadly past away!

This is a lovely channel. Greetings from Texas USA.

Love to watch you both enjoying. You must admit that the singer is incredible with his voice.

One of the greatest vocal performances

Pure talent .... no auto tune,... 💓💓

One of the most classic of classic rock songs of all time - total feel-good music. Boston, Foreigner, Journey - three of the top American groups of the late '70s. More are coming to mind, but those three come to mind right off. Great memories accompany these songs. Love your reaction!

Really like your reactions to Boston songs especially this video. I’ve been listening to Boston for 42 years and I never get tired of listening to them. Hitch a Ride should be your next video reaction when you decide to do another Boston song.

It's more than a song - It's more than a feeling which is hard to describe or achieve. Every aspect of the arrangement - Vocals, guitar arrangements, the pick swipes, the harmonics, the harmonies, the baroque inspired guitar solos make this song a masterpiece.

Boston has a great story about the beginning of the band.

Brother, you get to wake up to that beautiful, smiling face every day. You must be a good man for God to bless you so.

Boston was and is a treat to Listen to.

You guys seem like very nice people doing very honest reactions. Happy I subscribed.

Thank you for playing that for me. It is my favorite song of all time and i'm so you glad both of you felt the way I do about it. Great reaction!!!

They had the same reaction that I had in 1976... I couldn’t wait to hear it again. The guitars sounded like violins, it was such a unique sound.

Boston is an amazing band! Great music! Brings back great memories of the 80's! 😁🎶🎸🎵

It is a perfect rock song. Literally every aspect is the pinnacle of music

BOSTON ROCKS !!!!.....

Chills everytime

Never get tired of Boston....R.I.P. lead singer Brad Delp,who tragically committed suicide.

A great song! One of the best bands to come out of the 70's. Brad Delp was just fantastic. RIP my friend. Another great song from them is A Man I'll Never Be.

I still don't understand how Brad reaches that 3rd octave on 'She slipped away'. Incredible.

They are great....no weak links in this band.Timeless,legendary music.Wow is a great word for it.It is genius songwriting.

I saw Boston in 1978. I love you guys... Boston was and is the best.

What's amazing is that Brad Delp is rarely mentioned among the best singers of all time. You'll get the usual mentions of Freddie Mercury, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley, but not many mention Brad. As far as I'm concerned, he should always be mentioned among the other three.

Great reaction! If you get a chance, read deeper in Wikipedia on how this album was created. Tom Scholz played and mixed the instruments in his basement and Brad Delp did ALL of the vocals and harmonies. It is really a masterpiece. They had to create a band to actually play it live and tour. The other amazing thing is the technology at the time in 1976 was analog. We take it for granted today on our iphones we can mix a multitrack song. Tom did it with analog tape and a razor to cut.

Hah! Thanks for that! It's an amazing song on a near perfect album, and I never tire of hearing it. All the more amazing when you consider how the album came about. It's great to see others connect to this timeless music... so thanks!

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE !!!!

Classic rock in every sense.

I raised all my kids on music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s that my wife and I both grew up on. They still impress their friends by knowing a lot of the lyrics to the "oldies". When my son was in high school had a teacher playing it class one morning. He started singing along, and the teacher( her fav group ) was amazed that he knew the words and who it was. Needless to say, he became the "teachers pet", lol.

Absolutely a top song 🤙🤙🤙🤙

This is a perfect song..

great driving song.

The boy can sing! 😎🔥🤘🎤

Saw them live in Charlotte NC in 79..I was only 14 too young to appreciate!!!! Now I do!!💕

I remember seeing them in concert in Tacoma in the early 80's!What a time that was.

Ugh, I am very rarely ever envious of others. However, one of my few regrets in life is that I didn't see Boston live in the mid to late 80s when I was finally old enough to see them. The band had basically become a one-man show by 1989-1990. I had one chance to see them in June 1987, but I lived in Texas at the time and they were playing in Dallas at the Cottonbowl (outdoor football stadium...in June...in 100 degree heat) and I decided I didn't want to buy tickets for an outdoor concert in Texas in June. They had not toured since 1979, when I was 10 years old, and I thought for sure there would be another chance. Then I moved to Manhattan in 1990, and there was no other chance to see the original members again. I'm happy for you that you didn't miss out. I bet they were Ah-mazing back then

I saw them in Cleveland Ohio on my 18th birthday in 1984. A gift from my older sister. The best & most memorable concert ever! My favorite band still to this day. Brad Delp voice my favorite as well. When he passed away I was heartbroken. I grieved as if I lost a good friend. RIP Brad Delp.

This song is an emotional experience that is reflective, dreamlike yet slightly melancholic

This song is a 11 on a scale of 1 to 10

You two make me happy

That is 1970s rock in a nutshell there will never be another decade like that again.

Thank God for Boston. They were the rock and rollers during those dreadful years of disco.

Nice review of one of my favourite songs.

Thank you - yesterday you reacted to my favorite DEAD song and today my favorite BOSTON song , along with Bob Seeger today the best concert I watched last year on his farewell tour so glad I saw him live before he retired.I hope you have a good day and life !

Pretty darn good for one guy playing almost all the instruments. Best concert I've ever been to -- and I've been to everyone --- even McCartney.

BOSTON BABY 👍🏼

My favourite song from the 70's! 😎🔥🤘🎸

The story of Boston is a rare tale. Tom Scholz was an electronic engineer by day and a musician by night who built a home studio in his basement in the early 70s. Not state-of-the-art even then, Tom masterfully recorded all of the instruments (guitars, bass, Hammond organ) except for drums (Jim Masdea ("Rock And Roll Band"), Sib Hashian) and the guitar solos on "Long Time" all in his basement. He mixed the entire Boston debut album (except one song) in his basement in 1975. Tom's friend Brad Delp did all the vocals, something like eight tracks between doubling himself and added harmonies. The eponymous album was the biggest-selling debut album of all-time until Guns 'N' Roses' "Appetite For Destruction" (1987j Check out all of their works from the first album (1978), "Don't Look Back" (1978), "Third Stage" (1984) and "Walk On" (1994)

"Music is the best companion". Indeed

Glad you love this song! I had the same reaction when I first heard this song in the summer of 1976. If you could also react to Foreplay/Long Time on this same album, that be great.

I don’t know if if was something in the air or water but when this came out so did Kansas debut and suddenly anthemic songs were popular and both bands came out of nowhere practically with this sweeping and powerful music. I remember how astounding it was at the time! Incredible music!

congratulations on picking up the nuances missed by so many others.. high pitch (falsetto) voice 1:05 and cymbals at 1:40. you are real listeners!

Every song on the debut album still in heavy rotation on classic rock radio, deservedly so. I would also recommend "Don't Look Back", "Amanda" and "Hollyanne" from later albums.
