FIRST TIME LISTENING TO Boston- More Than A Feeling Reaction 

That entire album is 🔥

When I listen to Boston I feel summertime.

The 70s was a great time to be a teenager...... Mainly due to the music.

When you dropped the needle on this first Boston album way back in the '70's this was the first song you heard. Then it rolled into "Peace of Mind" (which you need to react to next) Then side one ended with "Foreplay/Longtime" When you picked yourself off of the floor you flipped the album over and continued on your Boston journey. Have fun.

RIP Brad Delp the singer. What a falsetto he had.

This was Boston's first release single...I was 16 when it came out... everyone was hooked... beautiful stuff...

SiriusXM did a listeners poll last year to form a top 500 list of greatest rock and roll songs. Guess which one came out on top? Yep, this masterpiece from 1976.

I was 18 when this was released.. Heard it on KMET. Turned my car around and straight to the record store. I have it on A 24 k gold CD now...

It was the number one debut album of all time until Whitney Houston 10 years later. Recorded in Tom Scholz’s basement - by himself. So good CBS saw they couldn’t do any better. Fantastic album.

I remember seeing this album when I was a kid. I never noticed, until another reactor pointed it out, the UFOs on the cover are actually guitars.

Girl you got to listen to the whole album. One of the best in history. Every song is 🔥. Love your reactions. Fantastic. You should have been with us back in the day

Greetings my dear, please check out "Feeling Satisfied", in my opinion it's Boston's best song. A good mood type of tune that is very uplifting.😊

$cribe: That was a feeling. Boston: That was more than a feeling. But seriously, your absolutely right, that is a perfect song.

One person, Tom Scholz, wrote and performed all instruments and recorded this in his basement - not a studio. He did get Brad Delp to sing - but all the rest was Scholz. He didn't pull a band together until he realized he needed to start touring. He is a freaking genius - and an MIT-educated mechanical engineer.

Your reactions are great!! -- request you react to: 'Funk 48' by the James Gang; 'Hey You' by BTO; and 'Nothing From Nothing' by Billy Preston. :)

Do "KANSAS" - Left Overture and Point of Know Return - Both albums are on FIRE.

At the end you said "whooo, that was a feeling" Have to disagree it was MORE THAN A FEELING.

Please react to "Don't Look Back" by Boston. Underrated album in general.

And the best song on the album is "Hitch A Ride", but don't think that every song on the album isn't 🔥🔥🔥

I just heard this on the radio this morning! Also try “Smokin’’” same album

Check out the song Smokin by Boston. It’s friggin dope.

Boston's debut album. Created by one guy in his basement.

In 1976 this was the number one single, the number one album, and number one band. They took all the awards with their debut album. It's easy to see why.

I'm glad you like Boston that's one of my favorite bands thank you for covering it

Boston is great, you give the best reactions. Keep up the great work.

BOSTON...IS ONE OF THE BEST SUPERGROUPS OF THE 70'S... Tom Scholz is the master mind behind the group... He was the Head engineer of Polaroid Cameras before forming Boston...!!! He designed and engineered All of the amplifiers and speakers to created the BOSTON SOUND...HE WAS A TRUE MUSICAL GENIOUS...!!! THANKS FOR POSTING...!!! Please do...PEACE OF MIND...!!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU...

Love to listen to Brad Delp. That man had incredible range. R.I.P Brad Delp.

Next..."Hitch a ride"! Best guitar solo

Greatest debut album in Rock

Still my favorite band - for 40 years. Next reactions need to be "Foreplay/Long Time" and "The Launch / Cool the Engines"; you'll love them!

One of the greatest singers of all time. Incredibly iconic voice.

Great reaction to this! Boston's founder Tom Scholz basically recorded the entire album in the basement studio of his house, and brought in Brad Delp to do the vocals. Tom Scholz has a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. The record company needed a band to promote the album on its release, so that's when Scholz added other members and the were used for subsequent touring. This debut album by Boston, released in 1976, remained the biggest selling debut album by a band in rock history, until Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction debut album surpassed it in 2018.

I wonder who that Mary Ann was..

Every instrument performed by Tom Scholz and made in his basement. Tom Scholz is a MIT graduate in engineering. Invented the Rockman. Brad Delp did vocals.

Love this song!

You should check out SOULSHINE by The Allman brothers band. Beautiful lady! Oh...and Boston ROCKS!! 👍👍✌✌💜❤😊😊

those spaceships on the cover are guitars if you look at it close enough. :)

Boston's smashing debut. There are no words. Thank you for this one.

RIP Brian Delp.

Luxury watches?! Hell!! Why aren’t u courting the 409 SPONSORSHIP?!?!?! Girl! Get on it!!!!

Tom Scholz, one of the lead guitar players and creator of Boston was an MIT grad and an engineer for Polaroid. He created the Rockman , a device that made the guitar sounds Boston is known for.

J Geils band....First I Look at the Purse

Here's a fun fact. Band founder Tom Scholtz recorded, by his admission, 96% of the album by himself before bringing in Brad Delp to record the vocal tracks. Also, the only song on the album that was recorded in a professional studio, was 'Let me take you home tonight' written and sung by Brad Delp. It was recorded at CBS studios in Los Angeles, unlike the rest of the album which was recorded in the basement studio of Scholtz's Watertown, Massachusetts home, part of the greater Boston area. On a less happy note, Brad Delp, whose amazing vocals will always be associated with the Boston sound, passed away on March 9, 2007, when he took his own life via carbon monoxide poisoning, at his home in Atkinson, New Hampshire. But he will never really be gone. Because every time someone puts on a Boston album and cranks up the volume, his legacy Springs to life, and he is with us once again!

The first time he sings "she slipped away" and the guitar comes in like tears. . . Just goosebumps!

Remember, this was recorded in 1975 in guitarist and Boston's leader Tom Scholz's basement as a DEMO, who played ALL the instruments. Brad Delp's AMAZING vocals and vocal overdubs over the original master were cut, after the song was laid down by Scholz.

puts me back in that first childhood home.Mum smoking a jay and making cookies. Good times

yessss Annointing a ROYAL ROCK KING....IN SPACE LIKE FLASH GORDON BUT FAR BETTER

One of the finest rock songs of all time.

ANYTHING from this album. Golden

Brad Delp's vocals are off the charts. Voice of an angel. RIP

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..........................Hey look, I made a video of me watching a video.

Love your reaction !! and yes... PERFECT !! You have a great ear for music and good rhythm too. Do you play ?? If not start playing !! Love you, keep it up !!

you know what i am saying ..you know what i am saying ...your so cool Babe ,,Rock N roll ...you know what i am saying- from Australia .. You Rock ! Talk to me ....

I grew up with this music. This song is one of six I would have to have on a deserted island for my own survival. Maryanne was a real person, a cousin of the songwriter and band leader, Tom Sholz; who he had a rush on as a kid. Of course we all tend to like what we grew up with, but those of us lucky enough to grow up with the music of the 70s like this, well... if we knew how crappy music would be TODAY, we might have appreciated it more then. AND was there a better rock vocalist EVER? Absolutely not. There were some greats, but they weren't Brad Delp.

The band that you see in the videos did not record the original album. Here's who did: Melody Tom Scholz Lyrics Tom Scholz Arrangement Tom Scholz Lead Guitar Tom Schchlz Rhythm Guitar Tom Scholz Bass Guitar Tom Scholz Organ Tom Scholz Acoustic Guitar Tom Scholz Percussion Jim Masdea Vocals Brad Delp All recorded in Tom Scholz's basement. No synthesizers or computers.

You "409"-Cleaner (?) in the background is killing me every time ....

Check out the song “SMOKIN” by the same band Boston it fucking rocks!

Best classic rock song of all time...

I played the hell out of this album when I got it. Never got to see Boston, did get to see Orion the Hunter with Barry Godreau singing lead and playing lead guitar. THEN I got to see Barry Godreau's Engine Room at the Tupelo in NH. He did the most popular of this LP and the next one. Plus some from Orion and RTZ. NEXT saw him with American All Star Vinyls. This included Skunk Baxter (Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers), Mousey Thompson (James Brown) , Leroy Romans (The Wailers). And the singer, Danny Beissel singing his song Blush. It's on RU-vid. They were great.

Yep during high school I had Boston, Lynryd Skynyrd, Robin Trower, Blue Oyster Cult and Frampton on the 8 track in my 1969 Camero cruising main street with mags and Radial TAs. Girls were thin, hot, and there were basically no STDs. Young dudes today missed some great times!

This was Boston's debut album and Boston started out as one electrical engineer by himself, recording each instrument and then using Phil spector's wall of sound to Overlay it. Then he had to find a singer! Enter Brad Delph! ( every track on this album hit number one on the charts and they had to make a mad scramble to put an actual band together so that they could Tour! Boston in concert is nothing like Boston on vinyl!)

My friend in High School had just bought the brand new Boston album in 1976 and said to me, you got to check this out. He played it for me and my reaction was like WOW, OMG , this is so incredible and such an amazing sound. I never heard anything like that before. It blew me away. We had really good weed too.

Jjafkkk I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS MY FRIEND😻😻❤️

Album cover space ship guitars, Brad Delp's fave band was the Beatles.

Tom Schultz quit his job at Polaroid and started this band Boston, recordings and mixing this album in his basement playing many of the instruments himself..Tom is a musical and electronics genius, just freaking brilliant

You have a natural knack for "gettin'" the song... well done! Schollz said he wanted to emulate an orchestra in a way...

This whole debut LP was recorded in Scholz’s basement..and Scholz being MIT techie, built everything to bring this masterpiece to life! BTW the drummer played in the bathroom for better effect!

Once again you have the proper reaction. Next time you listen to Boston turn up the volume. You may think you had it high enough but you didn't. Boston was made up of MIT geeks. As a good geek knows a human's hearing response is flat at 100dB. (the same as a loud Harley of a snowmobile up close). Nest time turn up the volume and it will sound even better.

Yes, the best of voice and guitar harmonies! Ah, the simple times... Love your reactions!

Brad Delp vocals, Tom Shoults on the music. Yes, they were dam hard to beat.

I don't know anyone that hasn't gone someplace alone and crank this up in the car.. GUILTY here!

Boston was one guy and a singer. Tom Scholtz played all the instruments and wrote all the songs. Brad Delp sang all the vocals

These guys sound was something no other band could do, Tom Schotz (hope it's spelled his name right) was the first to use synthesizers and a few other little doodads to create Boston's unmistakable sound. What's even more amazing is how Tom was able to do all this in their live concerts. Awesome music and talent, lead singer Brad Delps voice was unbelievable, his 5 octive range added to the excellence.

this is an utter classic, even famous in the uk......and we do rock bands pretty well )

I never do this, BUT you are such a babe, and talented singer, so, sorry, I know that was wrong

You have excellent taste. Be sure to listen to the whole album. You won't be disappointed I promise.

DIMASH ... any one of his songs... your welcome

I remember when this album first came to the record stores in Boston. This young kid worked with his buddy at a downtown Boston record store and they got 10 copies of this new album.. He and his pal took a 5 min break.. smoked a joint and listened to the first side downstairs of the record store.. They were so blown away they put it on the turntable and played it on their outside speakers on the sidewalk. Those 10 copies sold out in less than 1 hour. They called and ordered 50 more for overnight delivery and the distributor said that will cost a lot more to fedex it overnight. They didn't care, they paid the shipping and ordered 50 more copies that sold out the next day by 3pm the day they came in....One of Rocks top 10 best albums and maybe the best created by one man, Tom Schultz who created the whole thing in his basement as a M.I.T. Masters Degree student...

Aren't you glad technology allows you to escape this mundane, manufactured musical wasteland and take trips back in time to experience the true era of musical talent and creativity?

I think the guitarist pretty much pushed the singer to kill him self. The singer was really unstable but the icing on the cake was the guitarists involvement

Try billy joel Shes got a way Beautiful

Never heard any rock music? It is scary how unaware people are. Listen to those sounds next time you are in the 99 cent store. Good luck with your album, though. I hope it spikes my curiosity sometime when I'm, oh I don't know, anywhere.

This whole album was produced at home by one guy .

Space travel, acid trip, with the Beatles. Good description lady.

Not bad for one guy in his basement, eh? Had his buddy come over and sing the lyrics and the harmonies are just layered tracks of one person.

😎😎😎 All the instruments are played by one man in his basement... check out this story starting here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-co_57iTPRv0.html. Than check out the other videos on how Boston got started... the man was a genius.

I won't say I am old, but I did watch the band America in concert on our junior high school stage.

The music is awesome...but,when you listen to the story theyre telling...it just takes it out of the park! This is the song that you would roll your windows down to turn up the volume full and scream your heart out with...they played your heart out...and at the end you felt breathless and content in a weird way....your best could have just died but after this song...you felt at peace with the world. im a 53 yr old woman...lol.

Ever notice those spaceships on the album cover are guitars lol.

Tom Sholtz, the guitarist recorded this whole album in his basement in 1974, he is a MIT graduate, he revolutionized guitar effects and digital recording, he is a freaking genius

Tom Sholz is the guitarist. He is an MIT graduate and has pattens on his equipment. Brad Delps is the lead singer. There fist album still remains #1 in all sales.

Great tune! Listen to Boston hitch a ride. Prophetic guitars we always called them

BTW Maryanne was Tom Scolz's older cousin that he had a crush on when he was 8.

What's cool about this is it brings back the first time. Thanks.

Love your reactions! 409!!! You should react to copperhead road by Steve Earle

How many know Maryanne was Tom Sholz cousin he is singing about.

I love your opens to new sounds! I love your selections and your little sound songs your add to show your amazing talent! keep it up gorgeous, you will be famous in a very short time.

You're the first person aside for myself that is ever noticed that this guitar lick is a guitar singing. Actually in my heart when I hear this I think it's crying. You are a ba

I turned it up when Brad Delp told me to....RIP,Brad.

If I had to rate this ration from 1 to 10, I'd give it... ...409 😏
