Boston: Walk on - Flawless Cut (no sudden audio cuts) 

Amen.

Same.

Where's Brad?...lmfao...

This was indeed an awesome album! My friend Vinnie Moore didn’t even know it existed. I shared it with him and he was just like Whoah!

I'm a diehard no Brad, no Boston... however I must admit this album is a showcase of Tom's genius and masterful hear for a brilliant rock sound.

@@RockTitanYou mean Vinnie Moore the shredder from the ‘80s? Awesome! He had a big impact on my guitar playing. He doesn’t know me, but tell him I said hey. Lol

@markmarsh9923 >> Tom didn’t off anyone.😂

Rock on! ...er...walk on ❤

Duke Bacher I'd love to find this on vinyl

@@stevendegroot1543 i have it and it's killer!!!!!!!!!!

I have this on my MP3 player. It's a great song to lift weights to!

Damn sure is! From THE most underrated stonewalled unfairly treated and screwed over band ever! RIP Brad and Boston!

@@NYVET48TFW I'll admit, I'm not much of a fan of anything after "Walk On"- I feel like they lost their "je ne sais quoi" (defined as : "a quality that cannot be described or named easily.") As for the thousand views, I'm fairly certain that I've done about 100 of 'em...

where are you in life today do you have a good job

Yes, and Fran Cosmo never got the credit he deserved on this. His vocals are phenomenal!

David, completely agree! Unreal song. Unreal when I saw it in concert in '97. Simple, classic, typical Tom Scholz.

I used it to engage mu guns and hype myself B4 getting laid back then! OOOH!!❤️❤️❤️😳

I am sooooooo jealous.

32 times?? You're a legend. I was never able to see them once.

Dude!!!!👍👍

You know there are other bands.

And nobody but you cares that you were ever at any of those concerts.

ME TOO!!!!!!@ STOP THE MADNESS... JUST GOES TO SHOW NOOOO RESPECT TO THE COMPOSITION OF SUCH A GREAT FEAT OF MUSICAL GENIUS. SO VERY SAD TO RUIN WITH CUT-INS.😡😠🤬

You know what drives me crazy? Ads in the middle of the video. Who can I trust??!!

@@StelltheBear honestly id rather have cuts then ads during the cuts... defeats the whole purpose

@amcflfan45 yes, underrated as they're not in the R&R hall of fame. What a fucking travesty. Just shows what utter nonsense is the "hall" to begin with.

Not really underrated, they just underperformed. Their debut was one of the best selling debuts by anyone anywhere at any time, and is a flawless work of the period. Everything that followed, though, went further and further downhill. This cut here is one notable exception.

Agreed

The Walk-On Medley is better composed and more epic than even Bohemian Rhapsody! This song should be up there in the public's memoirs as that song!

@@WayPastCrazy2525 “CORPORATE AMERICA” For Ya !!!!

Yessir. The organ and the guitar playing together is like heaven.

Since you mention Queen, this track is definitely comparable to something like Brighton Rock or The Prophet's Song with the big instrumental sections and harmonies. This track is seriously a banger.

Truly the best way to listen to it. And NOT earbude. Headphones so the sound has room to breath

Their last album was a musical atrocity - this didn’t age well

Too much copy/paste, I fear. @@jeffschamel7210

Not to mention that when they toured for this album, they brought a PIPE ORGAN on tour with them. The least portable instrument on the planet and they toured a rock and roll show with one. They raised that sucker up behind the band at the appropriate moment, and if you already have a pipe organ, then why not have a cloak and dry ice fog as well? I didn't appreciate it at the time but it to date is still the most amazing thing I've seen in a live rock show.

Was unreal!!

He actually was still around for the creation of this album, as well as the greatest hits in 1997 and Corporate America in 2002. He has writing credits on this song, and his voice can be heard singing harmony with Fran Cosmo, as well as backup vocals in different spots during the song. He was busy with his RTZ side project when this album was recorded, thus he didn't have much input on it.

he did sing lead on the following 2 albums.

Brad was still very alive. He wss just on outs with Tom.

Soooo true! Third Stage in particular is so symphonic!

Yessir. Especially with him inventing the rockman and stuff. Hes the man when it comes to innovation. And he can play that les paul like a god.

🥰 Love you Bro , see you very soon . HALLELUYAH Rejoice and again i say Rejoice . He has yall Bro 🌫️

I can't believe you never did either.

That's they're way of trying to get you to get youtube red. Its really annoying. :P

When you're with your GF about to finish and the doorbell rings

Get ad blocker, silly.

Does yt choose the worst places for ads on purpose? Has happened many times

@@austinosburn2081 makes sense

I can definitely hear the similarities. About the time when Tom was playing that huge pipe organ.

can you source that? because that's not what Tom says as far as i know.

That makes sense because I swear parts of this song sound like Smokin, and the first time I heard it, I was kind of confused.

@@GmenAgain Look up Smokin' live in Long Beach, or Smokin' live at Giant's Stadium 1979, and both have some of the same themes here.

Brad Delp helped to write the two sections of the medley with lyrics (Walk On, and Walk On (Some More). The album was started when Brad was still in the band. The Barry Goudreau album was long before Walk On was started (1980 or 81). RTZ was done when Brad left Boston, after Third Stage and the tour were finished. I've got several of the live recordings, Long Beach (the full show), Jones Beach, Giant Stadium, etc... and none if them have anything like Walk On during Smokin'. The is an extended, incredible solo during Smokin, but nothing like this. They did do a long improv sorta song called She's a Looker, but that was a blues song that was awesome. They did a very long improv part in the middle of More Than A Feeling. I can hear little parts that could be in the WO Medley, but not much.

I saw them live in 2013, honestly still great even without Brad. RIP

Yes it is.

It was great live with both Fran Cosmo AND Brad Delp singing it

Best thing boston ever did

I could not agree more

@@mikem.7921 I don’t no if’n I would go that far ? Yes BOSTON is/was a Good Band !! Personally I believe that the (1) Thing that has/had hurt them the most was the Loooong Wait that we had to go through between “Don’t Look Back” and “Third Stage” witch by the way was a very Appropriately Titled Album !! When WE the FANS had to wait so long for the 3rd album to be released I think that everyone was expecting more of the same stuff ? Witch we did not get, to our great surprise ? It was a good album, it just took some time to get use to !! Anywho, if’n Mr. Schultz was not such a PERFECTIONIST we wouldn’t have gotten The Great Sound and Songs that have made them The Awesome Band that they were and still are today !!!!!!! 🤘 Rock On 🤘 Tom 🤘 !!!!! Didn’t set out to go on for so long, Sorry !!

Frans voice continued that high energy sound that this band thrived on. Brad was by far the best all round rock voice to grace the stage but there was always will be much to say on Fran Cosmo's contribution to Rock music !

Agreed

its called Frisson!

Interesting analysis of the two Earthlings. Well put Human. I agree !

Dude when I was 5-6 my dad used to jam to fuck outta this and caught somewhere in time by maiden when we used to go bowling ,fast forward to me bein 12-13 and taking a nose dive into GBH ,Black flag ,DRI ,millions of dead cops I put this stuff on the back burner now I'm 30 I jam the fuck outta this and Frank Marino ,maiden ,and later sabbath( never say day ,vol 4 ) and I'm back to that time when I was 5-6 Hahahahahahah

My college roommate got it and it took a moment but I warmed up quickly and then seeing ot live on the tour and the Greatest Hits tour with Fran AND Brad singing it was epic

Yep

Good observation, different type of artists, Tom is much more creative with sound Knopfler is just a good guitarist, very good!

amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
