First Time Hearing Boston - More Than A Feeling (Reaction!!) 

Boston should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! The fact that this hasn't happened yet is unbelievable! One of the best Rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s! About time they get their flowers!

When I listen to Boston so do my neighbors

RIP Brad Delp, one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. Incidentally this song has won numerous polls for best rock song of all time. And the story of how Tom Scholz basically created the entire album by himself (except for the vocals) in his basement is legendary.

In my opinion Boston had the best debut album ever.

Brad Delp vocal range was just insane and the high notes he effortlessly hits are just out of this world. No auto tune either just pure talent from one of the greatest rock voices of all time. RIP Brad Delp.

Brad Delp had a range that almost covers the entire piano keyboard. He covers above 4 octaves in this song alone. Too bad we lost him many years back due to personal demons. (depression).

Brad Delp's voice was just stunning, and his smile could light up an entire stadium. RIP Mr. Delp, we miss you. take care of your mental health and check in on your loved ones, friends, because you might not know when someone is struggling.

No Group Could Ask For A More Iconic Debut Album From Beginning To The Very End. ..R.I.P. Brad

Boston is a band that can’t be played loud enough. The hair and the mustaches were the style back then, not the testosterone. Brad Delp’s vocals are legendary. Great pick.

Polo, Sib Hashian (drums) passed away during a performance on a cruise ship in 2017. His daughter, Lauren, is married to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson; she's a singer-songwriter. The Hashians are local to me; losing Sib was a very big kick in the teeth. Brad Delp (vocals) passed in 2007. Another huge kick. Boston was an absolutely incredible band; there will never be another like them.

Damn, this made me back out of a video to come watch this. Boston has been my favorite group for about 33 years. I love their stadium rock sound, and the lead singer has an incredible voice.

THEY DONT MAKE SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE, WE REALLY REALLY NEED TO BRING THIS BACK

An extremely talented band. The engineering was flawless

No auto tune! Just remember that about these 70’s and 80’s bands, it was all their own natural voices!

Post Viet Nam, young men were still expressing their liberated selves by not wearing their hair short and conforming. Drove the adults crazy!

From one of the few PERFECT albums of all time. Every single song is fantastic, the musicianship is stellar, and the recording/production is as good as it gets!

Tom Scholz was the genius behind the music. He had a degree from MIT. Boston was one of my favorite bands ever. The way they harmonized the guitars was what caught the ear right away! I would love to see your reaction to my favorite song on this album. "Hitch A Ride" contains a great harmonized guitar solo!!!

This takes me right back to being a teenager driving my '77 Mustang, with Boston 8-track on full blast.

Polo - you cannot fathom just how huge this album was! Debut album - every single song was a radio-hit single! EVERY SONG! Yes the lead singer (Brad Delph) had some chops. There are usually 3 male vocalists of that era for rock and roll placed in the Mt Rushmore of chops: Delph, Freddie Mercury as you compared, and Steve "The Voice" Perry of Journey. Every has their own order of the top three - none of them are inherently wrong. But most critics will put these three at the top of the list. If you're ready to explore Journey, the go-to gold Standard is their Live 1981 Houston "Escape" tour. Anything from that is heads and shoulders above nearly all other live bands. "Mother-Father" is widely regarded as the greatest live song among them.

Their first album was a work of genius, and is criminally underrated.

Next up: Boston - Peace of Mind

A monster hit in late 1976, early 1977. It was their debut song on their debut album. Recorded in the garage of Tom Scholz, who wrote the song, and who sent the demo tape to Epic Records, who decided to release the album using that very same demo tape. The song is considered one of the best rock songs, ever. And the album considered one of the best debut albums of all time.

Brad Delp had a mind-blowing voice. Being from Boston, damn, we loved them. His voice still gives me chills. We closed our eyes and he slipped away, so long ago now. We can always hear that band's talent, still on many playlists! (And Tom Schultz was an INSANE guitar player!!! The whole band rocked.)

Greatest Rock singer off all time. Nobody could sing like Mr Delp. Nobody!!!!!!! Keep going POLO. So many powerful songs from Boston. "A man I'll never be" is powerful. Get ready for goosebumps!! Enjoy POLO and thank you for your time dude!!

I am so lucky to have lived in their era. Best vocalist in the 70s.

The first time I hears Boston, More than a Feeling, I was driving from Vancouver to San Francisco; I actually had to pull over and stop the car. My head almost exploded.

Love, love, love this song! Excellent highway driving song!

One of the greatst debut albums of all time....not a single bad song on that LP.

This band was so underrated. And his voice is right up there with Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury.

No autotune, no fakery on the track, just pure talent.

My favorite all time song. Sunrise pool, 14 yrs old, summer…perfection!

Saw these guys in London 1978....I was 17 years old and they were so good...i was mesmerised,still one of the best gigs I've seen.....and I've seen plenty........🤟

😂 I was in high school in the 70’s. If you looked at my yearbook you would see tons of mustaches and Afros. 😂 I’ve seen Boston perform live. Superb! And the mustaches were magnificent!

Three things. 1) Sholz makes it look so damn easy. 2) Brad's voice helps define a musical time. RIP. 3) "Be you, they'll adjust". 🔥

Ii was in high school when BOSTON came out.. We all LOST OUR MINDS LOVE YOUR REFERENCE TO THE GREATEST FREDDIE MERCURY!!

This was the first song on their Debut album in '76 ! Undoubtedly one of the best debut albums ever 🙏

IMO Brad Delp was one of the best vocalists of any era. Man what a talent. RIP.

Greatest song ever! This song moves me every time I hear it.

Not sure where this is from but I was caught off guard because the second verse was omitted! 😳 But yeah-Brad Delp, the lead singer, is criminally underrated.

Long hair was the style back then for young men (and women), starting in roughly the mid-60's and going all through the 70's. When you're young and full of vitality, you can grow some great hair. I grew up in that era, and I had hair so long at one point that it almost reached my belt in the back. We gloried in our long hair! 😊 As for "More Than a Feeling", it might be the most perfectly written and performed rock song of all time. It's certainly in the top 10 or so, if not the best of them all. Between Tom Scholz (who wrote, produced, played most of the instruments on the record, and arranged it all) and Brad Delp (with the utterly amazing vocals) you've got an absolute musical masterpiece in that song. And yes, it does sound like a summer song. Just beautiful.

Boston’s one of the most talented bands ever and Brads the goat of vocalist! Rip Brad we miss you!!

His voice was phenomenal! Love Boston and the "big hair" era.

You should check out Rush I think you will really enjoy some of their songs. Fly by Night and Limelight are two of the first ones that come to me off the top of my head.

This takes me back to freshman year of college Spring break! Aah, sweet memories!

This song and album was my very first album I bought when it first came out, I was 16 yrs old then. I’m 61 now and as I may have mentioned in your Forelpay/Longtime reaction it is my request to be played at my funeral. Thanks for reacting to my first ever favorite band🙏🏼

No auto-tune, Just pure talent...

This is one band that actually sounds great live!

Brad Delp had a miraculous voice. I wish he had been able to grasp onto some hope in his darkest hour. But I am grateful for the legacy of his astonishing vocals.

Yep Back in the day before Real music died

Camping in 77. We had 1 tape and a cheap tape deck. Listened to the album till the batteries died. Great memories. The entire 1st album is friggin amazing.

This song came out the year I graduated high school. The drinking age was 18 and there were so many live shows to see it was ridiculous. I adore Boston. And you’re right, my favorite place to rock them is in my Mustang with the speakers cranked. Please keep doing them. Love your channel. Just don’t comment much. 🔥🤘🏼❤️

Good one, Solo! Anyone who was over 17 in the late 70s came out of HS looking like porn stars.... superficially anyway!🤷 Boston's first album was a volcanic explosion in Rock n roll (1976 ish) and perhaps helped give birth to heavier (and hairier) forms of 80s rock and metal.

Brad Delp could hit it like no other - RIP 😊❤

Boston was a great band, and "Foreplay/ Long Time" should be the tracks you listen to next. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TnwqUEelQjE.html

I had a fairly thick gotee in high school and long hair back in the 80's. I'm 55 now and still have both, my hair is about 4 or 5 inches past my shoulders, and I'll keep it going until I start going bald 🤘🏼

Brad Delp -- one of the best vocalists ever -- tremendous range! (R.I.P.) Fantastic album and their 2nd album was about as great. As an oldster, I have to tell you that I miss hair like that. 😄😄😄

Opening riff still gives me chills all these years later. Blessed to have seen them 3 times.

It is sad that lead singer Brad Delp took his own life back in 2008 I think it was. I'm still pissed off about it 15 years later.

Brad Delp the greatest vocalist ever. Boston the greatest band ever.

It's better to react to Boston's album versions, because the production is so clean. This music video omitted the second verse and the audio was modified (poorly, IMO) to simulate a live performance. I recommend "Hitch a Ride", "Smokin'", and "Peace of Mind" next.

Even more amazing when you realize they wrote the songs and the entire album was recorded in their basement. I always loved this song, you have to listen to the lyrics to get the meaning, it's a lost love song. The old song he hears on the radio makes him remember his old feelings and dreaming until he sees his Maryann walking away.

I'm a 65 yr old white soul boy from England...BUT i can appreciate ALL MUSIC...Brad is up there with the very best singers... His range is insane.... liking this you obviously got a great taste in music..😊

You need to just diwload the whole album and listen to it nonstop. Now imagine you are 18 years old, just starting college and you have never before heard an album like this where every single song is pure gold. I can still remember that time

Man... you got great donors! Bummer audio, listen to the studio version. These guys were one of the best shows I've seen

When you’re ready for some good southern fried rock n roll, check out .38 Special, Hold on loosely, Fantasy Girl or Chain lightnin.

This is the album I learned to play drums to.

On the beach in the 70’s, radio on loud playing this song, thinking I’m going to 13 forever. RIP Brad

Hi Polo. Well done for finding this track. My uncle first played it to me when i was about 10 back in 79 I think. The famous "wall of sound" of the guitars is legendary, as are the soaring beautiful vocals. Then there's the amazing chugging riff, the incredible harmonies and the way the guitar blends with the voice. But these are all individual aspects of the track. It's the whole of the song that sets the hairs on end. Literally every time you listen. Just an absolute work of art, from the start to finish. Never seen that video, so cheers, now I can picture the haircuts whenever I play it!

Definitely one of the best rock vocalists EVER!!! Really sad he’s no longer with us.

I’m so glad I grew up when I DID!!!! Brad Delp was a talented guy with too many demons. The notes he hits are AWESOME!!!!

One thing to keep in mind is that most of this album was recorded in Tom Scholz’s basement. Boston is one of those bands that stand the test of time and one of my all-time favorites. RIP Brad Delp.

I saw them in 9th grade which would have been sometime in the late 70s. And yeah I guarantee you man, and Brad Delp would sing like that in concert just like that but here's the deal, the backing vocals were also really strong I remember them just bouncing around the interior of this fairly small Arena and it was just a tower of sound and it sounded so good. It sounded so good. And thankfully I don't see any easy way to upload photos from your phone gallery otherwise I would show you that when I was around that age and especially by the time I was in my senior year of high school and a starting baseball player and playing in bands and all that stuff, I had a hair and a mustache that looked an awful lot like that, laugh. I think it was more just a style of the time really.

Brad Delp is one of my favorite vocalists of all time. That entire album is a masterpiece.

You watched a shortened (single) version of the song. So you know, Boston is Tom Scholz and Brad Delp. Tom wrote, recorded and produced the album in his basement studio. Home studios were extremely rare in the 1970's. Tom plays ALL instruments except drums (played by Sid Hasian) on the album. The phenomenal Brad Delp does ALL lead and harmony vocals. Tom also designed and built custom effects (the powersoak, hyperspace pedal, doubler and later the Rockman amplifier) to create the legendary Boston guitar sound. Fran Sheehan (bass) and Barry Goudreau (guitar) were added as part of the live band.

POLO, Boston ""More Than a Feeling" is another "etc..." song to add to the Best Ever List!! *Comment from another reaction.* POLO, "Stairway to Heaven" is along the lines of hearing "Freebird" from Skynyrd. These 2 PERFECT songs WILL ALWAYS be near the top of the list no matter what genre, style, or decade it is, etc.....

In 1977/ 1978 The Stash and Fro's where the rage. Add in the bell bottoms, and tank tops. Great time to be a kid.

NOBODY like Boston. What's not to love? Soaring guitars and soaring vocals to die for. They were an absolute force of nature.

I'm so glad you liked the song and when you mentioned riding with the top down, you nailed it, I had an MG and would get off work at 11pm and pop the top and because of this band I'm a little hard of hearing today :D

Boston is a party band. I drove with this 8 track on max volume through my teen years. Love love them! They are very unsung band. Lead singer died young. Incredible voice and guitar

Holy heck, you haven't heard one of the best songs ever?:)

Keep in mind that my generation only heard this music on the radio or listening to an album- not watching videos. Watching videos of bands we love is like watching a great movie for the first time.

....As someone who is 60 something Years Young... I had the great pleasure of seeing this performed at a Concert in the late 70's....absolutely phenomenal. It's still at the top of Concerts I've attended, and I've attended HUNDREDS, over many years living in Vegas at the time. Mr. Brad Delp had such range ....Also, I believe he was underrated, which actually escapes me as to " why " .....his Range was incredible, his voice... unmistakable. And dare I say " Legendary "....such a loss, that he left the Earthly Plane in such an unexpected way. This song ,written by Tom Sholz, is actually quite complex, and it is NOT an easy Song to sing... I always felt that this Song was created to have Brad Delp singing it .... the whole Band is ( was ) amazing ,as far as Musicianship . Oh....and the hair ... that was one of the great things about 70's/ 80's/ 90s Music... better than all the " non- hair ' going on today ... but then again..I love long hair on men. I was a bit in awe of this mans ( Brad Delp ) gorgeous hair, eyes, and mustache.

I was a young man during those days the best voices, lyrics, arrangements, and musical talent ever!!! The crazy thing was it wasn't one great band or singer there were hundreds!!!

When you said "that hair and that moustache" I thought "you ain't seen nothing yet" 🤣

This album dropped about the time I was entering high school. We had never heard anything quite like it. Still haven’t. To this day there’s rarely a day that goes by that I’m not listening to something from Boston. Their song Peace Of Mind sort of became my own personal anthem. Thanks for posting this.

For the longest time, I want to say we'll into the 90s, Bostons' debut album was the highest selling debut album of all time. The entire album is phenomenal beginning to end. Peace Of Mind is a song with a profound message to it.

This song and their debut album is some of the best rock music ever played. When I first heard this song back in 76, I knew it would be great. And it turned out to be one of the most iconic songs of all time.

Afros were very popular in the 70's or long haired perms on men, as long as they were cleaned. The 70's were a great time to be alive! I love Boston, one of my favorite all time groups! I LOVE BRAD DELP!

Man u need to do the whole album!!

Thats is your intoduction to vocalist Bradley Delp. You are forever changed!!!

Brother, if you can find the isolated vocal track, it'll change your life. The version I heard was about 90% vocals, and 10% music, in the background. It was perfect. I've never heard such a pristine vocal-only recording.

I find their music uplifting 😁

This song is huge nostalgia for me. Long road trips with my dad with this album, pink floyd, the eagles, frank zappa. Good memories.

Hard to choose because Boston is my all time favorite Band from my teens, but have to say my absolute favorite Boston Song is “PEACE OF MIND” from their first album. Just Love the lyrics! You really should listen to it!

Grew up with this music, one of my favorite bands back then, had this album as a teenager, I remember several years ago after a stressful day, turned on the radio on the way home from work and this came on, I blasted it on the radio, it's how this song should be heard, lol, great stress reliever.

Try CHICAGO the Voice!!! Go way back when band called BREAD . Much RESPECT XXX

Brilliant reaction. ✌️

OMG!!! I so LOVE this band, they are GREAT!!!!!! some more of their hits are; Amanda, Don't look back, feeling satisfied, and many more, they never got the credit they deserved, they were GREAT!!!

This is when music was real .. no backing tracks no computer bs straight up Rock n roll

Every song on there first album was a Hit.
