Every song on Boston's debut album is at least as good as "More Than A Feeling". It's one of the rarest of rare albums where every song is legendary and there are no clunkers on it. Every song on Boston's debut album still gets played often on Classic Rock FM radio stations.

Most of that album is so good that arguing over what's the best is minutiae. I give it to More Than a Feeling but that album is so consistently awesome that there's no point in arguing over what's the best. It's so good as a whole that it's one of the few cases where "it's just an opinion" works in my book with no judgment. I put this stuff over Queen even though that seems to be considered heretical. Also, to MMBxMOB: I'm amused by the fact that you straight-up called out that it's quite the move to name yourself after a major city and it's a little unbelievable that they not only represent but go beyond.

Tom Scholz was the genius behind Boston. He was an MIT graduate and he built a studio in his apartment and designed and built the effects that you hear on their records. Scholz played every instrument except drums on the album. He got Delp to sing and a drummer. What you’re hearing in this video is the studio version on top of the video. The other musicians were recruited so that they could play concerts.

Tom played all the instruments except drums in the studio. When signed by Epic, and the album become a rabid hit, they needed other musicians to play live, so they hired Barry (guitar) Fran (Bass) and Sib (Drums) to fill out the live band. Tom Scholz and Brad Delp were the only ones signed to record deal. Tom wrote and performed it all, except vocals , in which Brad did, including all backup, lead, and harmonies. Tom was a master wizard in the studio…

This is the type of music that should end wars and bring peace to the world, lol

Bro Please understand when this album came out in 1976 you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing someone playing the album. This entire album is pure fire 🔥.

Until Fleetwood Mac Rumors in 1977/1978 was heard everywhere (along with the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever and Grease). It takes me back to when I was a teenager.

Tom Sholz played all instruments, Brad Delp is the lead vocalist/guitars/keyboards, Sib Hashian-drums, Barry Goodreux-guitars/vocals, and Fran Sheehan is the bass player. I love how Fran is in his own little world just vibing and bobbing his head to the song while he plays. You can tell he's having a blast playing. They all were!! This song will live on for Eternity!! Rest easy now, Brad, you did great. Rest In Peace!

Isn't this one of the most beautiful songs you've ever heard in your life? It takes me to a place so far behind, yet still so near... and I can't touch it. I can't have it back. I still cry bittersweet tears to this sometimes. Phenomenal!

You won't be disappointed. 😊

Great reaction. Just wanted to let you know this official video from Boston cuts out significant portions from the album version of the song. Do yourself a favor and listen to the full version from the album. I'll never understand why Boston released this very edited version as the official video for this legendary masterpiece of a song. BTW, it is so great when Brad Delp's voice raises into the Stratosphere and then morphs into an amazing guitar solo and you can almost mistake Brad's voice for the guitar because they blend so perfectly.

He actually fooled the record label into thinking there was a band. The other band members you see in the video were added later so that they could play live.

The thing is, Tom did most of the instruments IN STUDIO, but when live, they had to hire in "extras" to play some of the parts, so it would be accurate to only credit the core members. So, you see why they could call themselves Boston ... they represented in the best way !!!

BOSTON:BOSTON is a must own, and is widely considered among the greatest debut albums in history!

One of my favorite radio interviews of all time: DJ interviewing Brad Delp. DJ - “When did you know that you had made it?” Delp - “We had been on the road for a while, promoting the album, and we didn’t really know what had been happening. After a few months, I called my agent and said ‘I’ve been thinking of buying a house - can I do that?’, and he said ‘How many do you want?’ That’s when we knew.”

The guy I was with was a dress-up punk rock guy, and said something to me about the hippie at the door... so I called Brad over and had him show his Rolex to my pretentious friend.. he sat had breakfast with us, paid the bill and died a few weeks later

Tom wrote all the music, all the lyrics, played all of the instruments, even created new technology for the amps and basically hired band members to play and sing his music. He could do it all in the studio to produce albums, but the music became big and there was a demand for tours, so he had to get a band. Brad Delp was a phenomenal singer. Boston is my all time favorite band.

Craziest part was that not only did Tom write the songs and record pretty much all the instruments....but he was an engineer and built most of the equipment/gear he recorded it with. shit is crazy

Legit one of the greatest debut albums in music history. The entire album is absolute perfection.

It’s just unbelievable that Brad’s high note transitions to a wailing guitar, and YOU CANT FREAKING TELL WHERE THE TRANSITION ICCURRS

Boston has a lot of other great songs. "Foreplay/Longtime" comes to mind. Also "Peace Of Mind". Boston is a great example of mid-70's "Semi-Progressive Rock", music that's skillful, intelligent, excessible, and popular.

Scholz wrote every song on the first album all by himself. He also played every instrument of every song on the album, the only exception is the drums, which the record company made him redo. He also built his entire studio by himself, including inventing new audio processing equipment which he sold as a guitar pedal for decades. When the album hit the charts, there was no Chicago, just Scholz and Delp, they needed to hire a band before they could tour.

No auto tune hear ladies and gentlemen ! ✌️🙂 Song /album was recorded in Toms basement and they only needed those 3 men listed to pull off this masterpiece 😉

Boston today is less a band and more a studio project that tours w/ session players, all directed by Tom Scholz (guitar)... Tragically, both original singer Brad Delp and drummer Sib Hashian (who played on the first 2 Boston albums) have passed away... Delp recorded a 3rd Boston album '3rd stage' in 1986 before leaving the band. He took his own life in 2007... Sib Hashian died in 2017. Tom Scholz was a genius student at M.I.T. around 1969 when he started work on music, playing guitar and writing songs in his basement studio that he built in the early 70's. He worked w/ Brad Delp (vocals) who also played guitar and future Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau to record his music... Scholz played guitar, bass and keyboards... When he didn't get the sound he wanted, he used his engineering skills to make the sounds happen w/ the electronics. However, the music industry rejected the Boston demos in 1973. In 1975, there was label interest, but Scholz did not have an actual band... So, he and Brad Delp got Sib Hashian (drums), Frank Sheehan (bass) and Barry Goudreau (guitar) to showcase the songs in a live setting and got a deal... Scholz insisted he finish the record in his studio and played most of the instruments on the first Boston album (Sib Hashian played drums and Brad Delp did lead vocals and some guitar). In 1976, the debut album by Boston was released and became a massive hit on radio - it would sell 17 million copies in the US to date and became a classic record... the band went on tour and were a sensation. With over 10 million copies of the first Boston album sold, the pressure was on to deliver a 2nd record, and the band delivered "Don't look back" in 1978... It was another hit and sold 3 million copies. However, Tom Scholz was unhappy w/ the record and felt it sold less because it was "rushed"... He insisted on taking his time for the next Boston album. Years passed and Boston were still in limbo... Goudreau, Hashian and Sheehan ended up quitting the band as Scholz switched labels and finally delivered the album '3rd stage' in 1986... it sold another 3 million copies, and Boston toured w/ new members... Brad Delp ended up leaving the band for personal reasons by 1990. Boston was also involved in a lawsuit w/ their former label in the 80's that was resolved by 1990 in Scholz's favor. Scholz recruited new musicians and singers for the 'Walk on' album in 1994, but even w/ Brad Delp contributing some vocals to the record, it was a commercial disappointment... Tom Scholz carried on recording new Boston albums w/ various musicians, released years apart (the next album 'Corporate America' came out in 2002)... There was talk about Brad Delp rejoining Boston (he would perform w/ them on tour from time to time) but he ended up committing suicide in 2007.

Boston absolutely qualifies as one of the biggest bands of all time, they invented sounds and techniques that are taken for granted today but everyone uses. They fundamentally changed music as we knew it. And god DAMN could Brad Delp sing.

EVERYONE I have watched react to Boston reacts the same way. They start out listening with just a little bit of interest and then "BAM!" Brad Delp's voice and the band's unique sound just blows them away. Love it! All the songs on this debut album were incredible. More Boston, please!

It's fun to watch people's first reaction to Boston. Every song on that album is classic. Whenever I'm in the car and it comes on the radio I always turn it up to 10

Best time, to me anyways, to listen to this song is just as you are off work as the sunsets with the city night life set to wake up. Best time to play this song, it's a mood setting song.

I love that you had to go back after the start. Yes, it's just this amazing to listen to today as the first day it came out. RIP Brad, you will never be forgotten and missed every day! ♥

The other guys you see were just brought in to perform live. Tom is the one who wrote and orchestrated the first album in his home studio. He is an MIT engineering graduate specializing in electronics. He built his own effects gear including The Rockman, a guitar amp simulator resembling a Walkman. He founded Scholz Research and Development to built it and other electronic gear. He basically is Boston. He just couldn't sing and play drums the way he envisioned his music to sound. Without his genius there would be no Boston.

Original "touring" members of Boston in 1976. Barry Goudreau (guitar), Tom Scholz (guitar and many, many other instruments), Sib Hashian (drummer, replaced 1st drummer, Jim Masdea), Brad Delp (lead vocals, guitar and keyboards), and Fran Sheehan (Bass).

In the 70s there were 7 of us and our girlfriends and whenever Boston was in concert within 250 miles of us we went to the concerts. I saw them numerous times in Raleigh and Durham, NC, Charlotte, NC, Atlanta GA, Bristol TN and Nashville TN. Back then in the mid to late 70s there was no "white and black music. It was just (our) music. Our music then as now only had positive meanings. It's great to see all these podcasts finding out now what we have known for almost 50 years. And what you heard in concert was exactly what you heard on the radio, LP, or 8track. It's refreshing to see today's generation learning the positive meanings of our 60s and 70s music.

My favorite group of all time.....classic and never gets old. Loved this reaction!

This metalhead loves Boston! Mike Massé does a killer cover of this song. The late 70's and early 80's brought us some of the most timeless tunes, ever. It's hard to listen to this and not feel good.

So sad... what Brad brought and could've brought to this world is astounding. RIP Brad Delp... one of a kind. He's up there with Freddie giving the heavens a show.
