BOSTON The Launch - Cool the Engines 

My new wife and I entered our wedding reception together to The Launch. It was badass.

How could anyone HATE on this song? This is an absolute undisputed anthem for the third album!!!!!

If you're from the old days, then you love Boston. What your listening to is pure rock and roll

I used to play the launch solo (0:58) as hard as possible during my studying days in a frat house where anything was possible, nowadays I live in a quiet neighbourhood which restrains me significantly. Looking forward to move out and dust off and assemble the high end sound system I still have stored carefully. Boston is simply the best.

By far one of my dad's favorite bands from his youth. I grew up listening to him rattle the house with boston. I still love this music.

Boston gets better and better with time.....withstood the test of time ...rip Brad delp

Brad Delp's vocals are amazing. What a range. Boston would have been nothing without him. R.I.P.

In 1983 my best man and I got up at 2:am and headed to Edwards Air Force Base to see Columbia land. We heard the sonic booms and then saw it appear as the Sun was rising. Due to the sun just coming up, all of the white on the Shuttle was orange. We then scedaddled to Cal State Northridge to get to our Thermodynamics class. We were late. The Professor, Dr. Sidney Schwartz called us on the carper and said he was glad we joined but asked why we were late. We told him we had just came back from seeing the Space Shuttle land. We instantly turned into heroes as he was one of the lead Engineers in designing the Space Shuttle Engines..... We totally hijacked the class for that day.Amazing technology and dedication from all involved in the Program.....

As a fan of Boston and a former NASA engineer, this video is an excellent pairing with this song.

I absolutely love Cool The Engines by Boston. This song reminds me when my deceased husband and I were dating. We always had fun together . I love and miss you. Happy Birthday on the 26th of July. He would have been 50.

I have been waiting for a video like this with this song. It fits so perfectly together. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, THIS IS MUSIC. REAL MUSIC.

Brad, you are not forgotten.

RIP U.S. space program. It was an incredible run. Hats off to the NASA scientists, test pilots and astronauts of that era.

What a great time when this band was in the limelight. Great music to go cruising on a Saturday night. Got the window down finding out where the party is. We did it right.

Best song on the Third Stage album!

Used to SHAKE OUR HOUSE playing the launch so damn loud Many many words of sympathy here for one of the most beautiful souls in rock history with a voice to match I want to add my voice to the chorus BOSTON FOREVER BRAD FOREVER

"The Launch" is the epitome of a grandiose epic theme that just makes you feel damn good! :)

My dad was the communications expert for NASA and when comms were having issues and he got called in to a discovery launch, that was the first time something I saw gave me chills head to toe. Mission control was magic to me.

Boston truly defined atmospheric music.

Emphatic THUMBS DOWN to every person who separates this great piece of music as two separate songs on RU-vid. They should be ashamed!

This is BOSTON! Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!

The best band ever to see live, hands down... They did this live, and it was absolutely amazing

I was doing a lot of Coke back when this album came out. The more i heard this song i totally thought of my Coke abuse and thought that it was talking to me about slowing my "engine"(heart) down. I became drug free ever since. Thank you Boston!!

My whole teen years, listening to this music, cranking it up. and to put this music to video of our glorious space shuttle Atlantis? Awesome job!

Was fortunate to see them in the 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s and 2012. My absolute favorite jam band. Tight. BOSTON FOREVER!

Great Song! Great Rroup! Great Performance!

I'm pretty sure this song is the reason I have tinnitus to this day.

1987....My very first concert......AMAZING SHOW......BEST 13.50 I EVER SPENT

Brad Delp was genius & one of the best male singers of the 70's! A great talent with an unmistakable voice!❤️

I remember when this dropped. Was just giddy with anticipation after so long without an album. And hearing this the first time was just incredible and worth the wait. From what I remember this song was written and recorded back in the day and had been relegated to a storage room somewhere on a deteriorating reel to reel and was almost lost to time so parts that wouldn't play had to be rewritten to complete the song. BRAVO!!

THE very best song Boston ever made! Back when they had amazing vocals and real drums!

Possibly the best video ever!

Love you now and always my friends. Rock on now and forever

This is so my kinda stuff. Perfect.

Fantastic rocker from 1986 !!! Boston still rules !!!

Brad's been gone 14 years today. I needed this. Thanks, Brad. RIP

One of the greatest songs to have ever been created.

Boston.... no other band is better. They kick SO much ass!

Best match up of video to music ever!

My very first Compact disc! The quality just blew me away! Still have it!

How could you not love this song???😂

The beginning with shuttle sequence brought tears to my eyes. My dad programmed that launch sequence in the footage. It was his favorite job until they walked everyone out one day and laid them off He recently Died of coronavirus

Remembering when I was listening to these two songs EXACTLY when my flight was taking off!! 🛫

My God, when Tom unleashes his guitars …..

I am 55 years old. I grew up during this era. The best music ever hit the charts during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Where are all the new comers that were supposed to learn from those bands and put out some jams that deserve volume. Humm, think I could sue Boston for my hearing loss?? Does anyone know if Larry the Cable Guy ever get a settlement out of Husler Magazine?

Cool video.....me love Boston.

So many feelings! This video! This song! Absolutely love BOSTON…

Nicely done video! 😁 Boston is and will always be my favorite. Everybody have a wonderful day!

The Launch literally feels like it's taking you into space, even without a video like this. A mind-blowing piece of music, made even more sentimental because I first heard it just a few months after the Challenger accident.

This is just mind blowing tom Scholz you sir are a genius

THIS SONG MADE ME BECOME A ENGINEER, THIS IS JUST DYNAMITE. POPE IVA.🕊🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕊

My 💜 favorite underrated song by them

My late Father in Law was an Aerospace engineer. Was the type of guy that showed up at Stanford and took the entrance exam and smoked it. Attained a Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering.

The part from 2:55-3:11...dam, I could watch that 100 times, and it would never get old. As Atlantis is cracking through the sound barrier with a blasting guitar, it gives the image of a guy with a mullet at the controls, hammering the throttle and screaming, "Let's see what this baby can do!!" 3:10 -"See ya!" You timed that perfectly. Good show!

Best and loudest concert ever been to 😊

I remember the first time I heard the first lick of Boston on the radio. Nobody warned me because nobody was really talking about them yet, and this sound was so new and unique and so well recorded. Instant hook, these guys. And then to find the entire album was good too. One of the best values in vinyl back in the day. I have been deeply entertained by this group ever since.

Still coming back to watch this in 2022.

Remember when music was good and real before the shit we have now

This is the absolute best video to an awesome song.kudos bro.long live the memory of Bradley Delp.

Incredible, Heart bustling jam, guitar-heavy crushing force playing. Since I first heard it, Love it. Thanks, Tom.

Well didn't expect such a majestic video...wow!

Saw them in concert in 1988 for this Album and it was F-ing Amazing!!! RIP Brad Delp 1951-2007 We miss your voice So Much!!!

Congratulations to Ol' Musky and the SpaceX team.

Very cool video! Nice job!

One of the baddest intros of a rock anthem ever. Love the shit out it! COOL THE ENGINES!😃😎👍💪🖖✌

FLAWLESS perfecton.that's Boston....amen.

Excellent video in direct relation to such an AWESOME track!!! I used to get adrenaline rushes from watching Space Shuttle launches, also, as a growing child in the early Eighties and then as a teen in mid-Eighties... And I owned this album (Third Stage) on both LP & cassette tape in 1986!!!!

Absolutely beautiful. As a species and as a society and as human beings we need to slow down and cool the engines. Some of us are working way too hard, it's probably the majority of us not some of us... we are being pushed way too hard. Things just need to slow down. We have to somehow simplify things. Thank you for creating this video. Boston is absolutely my favorite band.

How in the wide, wide, world of sports does this only have 2k likes

To the uploader: I think the same thing here... looking at the album covers that the band has and the song titles that they have to go along with it and listening to the songs it all does make me think of space too. The music is just something I could imagine to be playing in the cosmos in some space shuttle as the shuttle and it's crew drift around in space looking at everything out there... that is the beauty of space. It really is the 'final frontier' as they say and every nation needs to have their space program because eventually we will have to colonize on another planet and when we do Boston will be some of the music that I will be playing when I'm ready to go colonize with our fellow human beings. That said: Boston has much special meaning behind them... space and the very concept of owning and operating a starship has been one of my passionate interests for awhile now. ... Sorry for the walls of text people... I just love this band and space.

Absolutely perfect video to go with this amazing song.

used to pump me up before playing hockey in one of the boston arenas

to see this done on concert was phenomenal, they assembled the Wurlitzer during the show then did the launch on it, had all the sounds of NASA including the countdown for starship BOSTON, I brought my mom to see it one of the greatest shows I ever saw, was the first farewell tour.

This came out the same year I went into the Air Force, so fitting.

I heard this today on SiriusXM for the first time in decades. Somehow the radio volume increased as I was sitting at a gas pump waiting to get out and start pumping. Excellent video.

Just discovered THIS MASTERPIECE !!

Seen this concert, walk on, them big organ tubes rising up behind the drum was kool

The Shuttle was waaaaaaay ahead of its time

I cannot believe there are people with the guts to get strapped into that thing and be fired into space.

Rock and roll will never die long live

Danke Sir 2021! The future is HERE! (and this is a Mandatory two-fer!) Thx.

We don't have to run that hard to get where we are going ! Hell Yea ! Cool The Engines ! This Is The Boston Theme Song !

Perfect video for this song, great job!

I bought this song on cassette when it first came out in 1986

Not a huge Boston fan, but grew up listening to them (via Mom and Dad) and was obsessed with their album art as a kid. I do love NASA, space and especially the shuttle. As an older kid now, I can really appreciate the marriage of song and this video. Nice work, and yes, good song!

Awesome.

I remember listening to "The Launch" through a Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator and M1.0t amp into a set of Klipsch Forte III speakers. Just about shook the damned house off the foundation...

How in the Sam Hill can this video have so few views? This is pure musical genius.

My favorite Boston song hands down.

With all the things that make this song great (and that's a lot) it's that smokin ass bass line that blows me away the most.

I miss Brad this totally was AWESOme

nobody liked this album.....i loved it, especially after waiting for 10 YEARS for a new Boston album......

Great band, great album, great song, great video.

Bad ass video and song! Great job! Everybody should put the headphones on and listen to this!

the last time i heard this song, it was on cassette

Screw the 24 thumbs down. They like Justin beiber

Very GOOD video, PLUS Excellent BOSTON music !.

Magnífico video 👏👏👏👍

Hearing "The Launch" in the car with good speakers sounds AWESOME.

EXCELLENT video! I just saw Boston in concert last night and was pleasantly surprised when they played this song...Thanks for the great visual :)
