This is when music was music!

Tom Scholz is a musical savant. He wrote this album in his basement, played all the instruments, and actually invented equipment (which is still used today) so he could create the music as he heard it in his head. The band came afterwards and the blending of Tom's genius and Brad Delp's voice created the best debut album of all time and one of the best bands of all time. "Don't Look Back" is another corker! Keep up the great work MollyBoy

Boston was the first band I ever saw in concert. It was the fall of 1978 and three college buddies and I drove 70 miles to see them. Sammy Hagar (known as "The Red Rocker" at the time) warmed up for them. Then there was a brief intermission as they changed out the stage and then Boston opened with "Rock And Roll Band" which is a story about the band's history. It was a great concert. In addition to that song, "Smokin'" is also a must.

I saw them with Sammy during that tour as well. What a treat to see them back then.

Our young friend…. Imagine! You’re in an outdoor arena, with tens of thousands of people. The lights flicker and the crowd rises to their feet. The lights go down and a hush goes over the crowd. Suddenly the smoke shoots from under the stage. The crowd cheers! Then bright blinding lights start flashing as that spaceship on the album cover slowly lowers from the ceiling above the stage. The Foreplay begins. Tom Scholz on organ, drums, bass. Tom on lead guitarist is playing the organ with his guitar on his back. After the organ he flips the guitar around to play. Crowd on their feet. The Long Time begins, vocals by the incredible Brad Delp. It’s was the best show concert! Pyrotechnics, confetti bombs, lasers! That spaceship. Breathtaking. The first album titled BOSTON dropped in 1976. Every song on that album is a hit. Start there. Every song. Last time I saw them play together was in early 2000s. Same intensity, same show. In 2007, Brad Delp committed suicide, at age 55, by carbon monoxide poisoning, leaving a note …. “I am a lonely soul”. Such a talented man, broke my heart. Then On March 22, 2017, at age 67, drummer Sib Hashian died of a heart attack after collapsing in the middle of a set while performing on board a cruise ship. Others have joined but it’s not the same. I just wanted you to know what a live show feels like. I loved concerts since high school in the 1970s.

Don't try to figure it out...just ride it! An entire generation would listen on a hi-fi stereo in their room with a black light and black light posters on the walls. And the album played over and over again. One of the best debut albums of all time! Also, when we were old enough to drive we played it over and over again! Boston always ROCKS! Music was everything and everywhere back then ❤️

I'm jealous. I wish I could hear that song again for the first time. That whole album is awesome.

This song plays everyday all day somewhere in the US ever since it came out. Every song on this album is great no lie. 💙💙💙

Those spaceships on the album are guitars face down with the necks pointing away from sight. Basically the butt end or bottom of the guitar is shown facing down. I've seen that art for decades and only last year realized they aren't spaceships.

I always felt like this song and the album art went together perfectly, because listening to it is like taking a journey through time and space.

Gotta check out “Smokin’”!!!!!!

More Than A Feeling is more famous, and it's amazing... but THIS is Boston's true masterpiece.

Every single song on this album is a banger and got radio airplay back in the day. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of them. Single best album in rock and roll, IMO.

The thing I always picture with the start of the guitar solo is one of the guitar spaceships on the album cover taking off at light speed.

Pretty much song on this album was a radio hit. Just a phenomenal album from beginning to end.

It’s the 80s and I’m a 16 year old cruising Main Street with my friends in a 67 Mustang, doobie in hand. The most epic sound system, listening to this!! It’s a wonder I can still hear today.

One of the best albums EVER!

Saw this just get uploaded and am commenting before I start to tell you how excited I am for you to hear this one!

“Boston” is always worth the wait!!!! Let them build up and enjoy the ride🎶

Boston had some BANGERS!! And they were exceptionally talented musicians.

First concert I ever went to was Boston. You couldn't hardly tell if they were actually playing the songs or playing the album. Tickets were $5, I still got the stub.

The story as I heard it: Some buddies attending MIT together decided they could produce music better on their own than a professional studio could. So they made their own studio in a basement and started recording on the equipment they created. This was the album they made. I love the revival of a mechanical organ being used. Pretty sure that electric guitar being used inspired the word “rad” commonly used in the 80’s.

ALL of Boston’s songs were radio hits❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Many thanks to my uncle, rest in peace, for making sure I had my own 8-track of this album when I was a little 70s kid with a bowl cut. This album is line one of the source code of my musical DNA, and I have him to thank for it. And I've got to say, seeing you visibly drift away to this song and knowing *exactly how awesome it sounds* through a pair of good headphones - it made an old man a little misty. The kids are alright. ✌️😎

Another fantastic reaction to a great song! I've come to really look forward to your reaction vids. As soon as I get the notification that you've uploaded a new one, I watch it immediately!

My personal Boston favorite is Smokin' because it has one of the most epic organ solos you will ever hear!!

Love Boston. That guitar tone was a game changer. Brad Delp... Such a fantastic singer. RIP.

Recorded in Tom Shultz basement in early 70s. Dude worked for IBM or some big tech company but wanted to be a rock star, thank God. RIP Brad Delp, one of the greatest front men of any band.

How can this music NOT make you feel good? 👍😂

If i remember correctly, this was the first album to go,gold in only 6 weeks. It was the fastest selling debut album at the time of its release.

Fun reaction. This first album by Boston is considered to be one of the greatest debut albums in Rock music. I know this is the second one you reacted to, but you could still kind of go through what's left on the album in order. But either way, you owe it to yourself to hear every song on this album ultimately. Boston has a very distinct and recognizable sound, but then again they have such variety in their songs, which all just kick ass in their own way. Good ear catching that organ pattern once it transitioned from Foreplay into Long Time. All the layers in this are fantastic, and Fran on the bass is just a monster. Just listen for that sometime. Long Time was on the radio all the time when I was in junior high and I had my first girlfriend. We had the 8-track cassette so we could play it in her car as we were driving around or hanging out at the park or whatever. Great memories. And the FM stations would often play the two of them together. But you definitely heard just this part of it a bunch.😮

This song was all over the radio, sometimes as a radio edit. Rock n roll will never die!

IMO, this is right in the breadbasket of classic rock. Irrespective of eras, if I wanted to explain rock to someone, I'd pick this along with "Layla" and a few others, and say, "This is rock music." "More Than A Feeling" is regularly rated as Boston's best song, but they have several hits that ought to be on the playlist.

This was indeed a big radio hit, though usually just the "Long Time" part was played on Top 40 radio stations. However, some radio hits back in the seventies were long and the full combination of these two pieces could occasionally be heard.

Reminds me of cruising in the early 80s with friends!!

One of the greatest guitar solos from one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest debut albums and one of the greatest cover rock albums of all times. Tom Scholz is a genius.

Boston was simply a sonic assault in the best way.

YEAH MAN, Boston, This is quite possibly THE Greatest debut Album of all time. I was young when this hit the Air Waves in 76....It Blew everyones Minds! Nothing, I mean nothing like this had ever been heard before! This IS a Prime example of Classic Rock!

I saw Boston in concert with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in 2018. They have a different singer. The concert was excellent. Such a nostalgia trip for me.

This whole album rocked- wore my cassette out when I was a teenager. The radio usually only played “Longtime”, but if we were lucky, they played the “Foreplay” part with it.

Thank for reacting! I was 16 when this album came out and it was my very first album I bought. This song means so much to me that I have asked it be played before my funeral service.🙏🏼
