First Time Reaction | Boston - More Than A Feeling | Reaction 

Actually, the band is so great that Massachusetts named a city after them.

Brad Delp had a genuine four octave vocal range. These are some of the most soaring notes in rock history.

Brad Delp- criminally underrated singer. No one can hit it like Brad. What a set of pipes

You young folk just remember that grandpa lived with the greatest rock and roll music of all time. 🎸

Every song on Boston's debut album is at least as good as "More Than A Feeling". It's one of the rarest of rare albums where every song is legendary and there are no clunkers on it. Every song on Boston's debut album still gets played often on Classic Rock FM radio stations.

Been listening to this for 47 years and it NEVER GETS OLD

"Legend has it Brad Delp is still holding the note" Why yes, Yes he is.

Your reaction is what listeners did in ‘76. People were blown away by this record.

Boston is actually one of the few PERFECT albums. Do yourself a favor, do a full album review!!!!! Trust me.

The difference between then and now is talent, not computers.

Tom Scholz was the genius behind Boston. He was an MIT graduate and he built a studio in his apartment and designed and built the effects that you hear on their records. Scholz played every instrument except drums on the album. He got Delp to sing and a drummer. What you’re hearing in this video is the studio version on top of the video. The other musicians were recruited so that they could play concerts.

This is the type of music that should end wars and bring peace to the world, lol

Isn't this one of the most beautiful songs you've ever heard in your life? It takes me to a place so far behind, yet still so near... and I can't touch it. I can't have it back. I still cry bittersweet tears to this sometimes. Phenomenal!

BOSTON:BOSTON is a must own, and is widely considered among the greatest debut albums in history!

Brad Delp was amazing. Such a huge loss to all of us when he ended his own life. If his vocals don't give you goosebumps, you may not have a heart beating in your chest.

Tom Sholz played all instruments, Brad Delp is the lead vocalist/guitars/keyboards, Sib Hashian-drums, Barry Goodreux-guitars/vocals, and Fran Sheehan is the bass player. I love how Fran is in his own little world just vibing and bobbing his head to the song while he plays. You can tell he's having a blast playing. They all were!! This song will live on for Eternity!! Rest easy now, Brad, you did great. Rest In Peace!

"Legend has it they still holding that note." 😂😂😂❤ When I saw that you were reacting to this song, I *knew* you were going to stop multiple times and run it back to hear it again. I'm so glad I was right. You represent ALL OF US who listened to it for the first time. Loved your reaction! Edited to add a Boston suggestion you asked for: Honestly? Their whole first album. You won't be disappointed. 😊

One of my favorite radio interviews of all time: DJ interviewing Brad Delp. DJ - “When did you know that you had made it?” Delp - “We had been on the road for a while, promoting the album, and we didn’t really know what had been happening. After a few months, I called my agent and said ‘I’ve been thinking of buying a house - can I do that?’, and he said ‘How many do you want?’ That’s when we knew.”

Bro Please understand when this album came out in 1976 you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing someone playing the album. This entire album is pure fire 🔥. Tom the guitar player wearing the silver outfit in the video was the force behind the instrumental sounds and Brads voice brought it all together You need to react to this entire album you will download it in its entirety Keep up the good work

Great reaction. Just wanted to let you know this official video from Boston cuts out significant portions from the album version of the song. Do yourself a favor and listen to the full version from the album. I'll never understand why Boston released this very edited version as the official video for this legendary masterpiece of a song. BTW, it is so great when Brad Delp's voice raises into the Stratosphere and then morphs into an amazing guitar solo and you can almost mistake Brad's voice for the guitar because they blend so perfectly.

Boston in 1976. Barry Goudreau, Tom Scholz, Sib Hashian, Brad Delp, Fran Sheehan.

Boston absolutely qualifies as one of the biggest bands of all time, they invented sounds and techniques that are taken for granted today but everyone uses. They fundamentally changed music as we knew it. And god DAMN could Brad Delp sing.

The debut album was created by Tom Sholz playing all of the instruments except drums and vocals. He did it all in his basement by overdubbing with professional tape decks. He actually fooled the record label into thinking there was a band. The other band members you see in the video were added later so that they could play live.

One of the greatest rock songs of all time!!!!!

The entire album is a Rock-n-Roll MASTERPIECE imo. Whenever I hear Boston I'm reminded how fortunate I was to grow up in the 70's. Such a great decade of music! I need to upload more Boston to my channel. R.I.P. Brad Delp and Sib Hashian

This is the epitome of a song that never gets old no matter how many times you play it

After hearing this song for a million times times I forget how STUNNING this is for the first time listener! REALLLY enjoying your reactions!❤😂

Im 69 was raised in the seventies and I listen to the song I still get goosebumps.

The thing is, Tom did most of the instruments IN STUDIO, but when live, they had to hire in "extras" to play some of the parts, so it would be accurate to only credit the core members. So, you see why they could call themselves Boston ... they represented in the best way !!!

Everything Boston did was fantastic. Another great one showcasing Brad Delp's amazing vocals was A Man I'll Never Be.

Legit one of the greatest debut albums in music history. The entire album is absolute perfection.

Tom wrote all the music, all the lyrics, played all of the instruments, even created new technology for the amps and basically hired band members to play and sing his music. He could do it all in the studio to produce albums, but the music became big and there was a demand for tours, so he had to get a band. Brad Delp was a phenomenal singer. Boston is my all time favorite band.

Before autotune, these dudes are legends, air guitar greatest hit

Tom Scholz was a genius and Brad Delp's vocals were amazing. Boston was magic.

Craziest part was that not only did Tom write the songs and record pretty much all the instruments....but he was an engineer and built most of the equipment/gear he recorded it with. shit is crazy

Back when you reacted to Journey, you asked the MOB who else in Rock had a great voice? I suggested Boston. Some of the best rock vocals ever. Really nice drums too, love the triple-crash cymbals in the middle, and again near the end. This is a great all around band. "More Than A Feeling" is my favorite of their songs. Boston has a lot of other great songs. "Foreplay/Longtime" comes to mind. Also "Peace Of Mind". Boston is a great example of mid-70's "Semi-Progressive Rock", music that's skillful, intelligent, excessible, and popular.

It’s just unbelievable that Brad’s high note transitions to a wailing guitar, and YOU CANT FREAKING TELL WHERE THE TRANSITION ICCURRS

You have to do more Boston reactions. Iconic band. Genius musicians and Tom is an MIT graduate.

The whole first album is truly classic. Listen to the whole 1st album and get ready to be blown away! The 2nd album is also very good.

Tom Scholz recorded most of this album by himself playing all the instruments and Brad Delp did the vocals. When they toured they used different road musicians so they could put on concerts.

Yeah dude, he DID hit that super high note.

Our music in the 70s and 80s was the best. They still play it on the radio

Bradley Delp is the greatest Rock singer of all time. "A man ill never be" is a great song to hear him. Mickey Thomas is another incredible singer that you may like, hes in the band Starship! Great song from starship is "I didn't mean to stay all night". Thank you for everything!!

Boston, has arguably, the greatest debut album of all time. That entire Album is off the hook.

My dude's reaction at 14:47 is literally all of us at this masterpiece.

Tom Scholz was an MIT musical genius. He made the siren affects on the guitar in this song.

The 'band ' was formed after the album was released. The album was recorded in a basement and when it was successful a band had to be formed in order to tour.

When it was released, Boston was the best selling debut album ever!

No auto tune hear ladies and gentlemen ! ✌️🙂 Song /album was recorded in Toms basement and they only needed those 3 men listed to pull off this masterpiece 😉

When Boston first came out, we all got hooked, wanting more, but they made us wait forever for a 2nd album

Their masterpiece from this album is Foreplay/Long Time.

This is such an iconic 70’s rock song. The song gives you a feeling and more…

FM radio started to become big, and college radio is where I first heard of Boston in the fall of 1976, attending a mid-west co-ed school... after Tom turned his finished master in to Columbia Records, the suits needed a band for a tour, hence who you see here...."no static at all"⭐

For a long long time this was the best selling debut album in history, still might be not sure. Literally every single song on this album was charted somewhere, crazy genius dude, actually developed new boxes for guitar effects that are still used today!! Lots of legal/showbiz stuff because of how giant this album was. Easily one of the best ones ever, EVERY song.. I’m tellin ya..

Every song on that first album killer. The 70s were the BEST.

Such an iconic group of my childhood!

Scholz wrote every song on the first album all by himself. He also played every instrument of every song on the album, the only exception is the drums, which the record company made him redo. He also built his entire studio by himself, including inventing new audio processing equipment which he sold as a guitar pedal for decades. When the album hit the charts, there was no Chicago, just Scholz and Delp, they needed to hire a band before they could tour.

Tom Scholz played pretty much everything on the album, but Brad Delp is the lead vocalist/guitars/keyboards, Sib Hashian-drums, Barry Goodreux-guitars/vocals, and Fran Sheehan is the bass player in the band in this video plus on Don't Look Back!

Probably best concert I ever went to. They were incredible. The coolest part is you interact with their music. Certain songs have a clap in it. This is one. During the chorus, you can hear the claps.

He played everything on the Album, the band you see is the touring band and member that put some parts to some songs on the second album. Tom wrote everything, they did it live and they did it good. I saw them on the reunion tour in 86' and 87'. Great memories. Thamks

That was an awesome reaction.. Lol I had forgotten what that voice can do to people...

"Legend has it they still holding that note" ... best quote ever lol

I was born in '90. I grew up listening to this song since my earliest memories. I knew BOSTON existed before I knew Los Angeles existed. Lol. This is my all-time favorite song. My six year old loves it, and we still jam it in the car to this day. Don't worry. Boston reps Boston well. 😊 I've loved, not just their title tracks, but also the rest of their music as well for as far back as I can remember! This band shaped my childhood right up there with Journey!

EVERYONE I have watched react to Boston reacts the same way. They start out listening with just a little bit of interest and then "BAM!" Brad Delp's voice and the band's unique sound just blows them away. Love it! All the songs on this debut album were incredible. More Boston, please!

Yeah, this is probably my favorite BOSTON song 🎵 and one of my Favorite SONGS OF ALL TIME. GREAT TUNE

Guy, I loved your reaction to those high notes. Made my day. Great job on the video.

They are among rock royalty.

One of the best rock songs ever recorded!!👍 I could listen to it forever!!😆

You will love literally every single song on that album.

I was waiting to see your reaction to this song!❤❤😂😂

Thank you for the instant respect when Brad started his siren song

It took him five years because he wrote the entire album and played every instrument except drums, and recorded every track himself on every song. Brad was brought in to do the vocals. And even invented the guitar pedal that gives Boston its distinct sound.

It's been a long time is by Boston

That was a display of vocal ability. Having fun and showing off. Just awesome.

It's fun to watch people's first reaction to Boston. Every song on that album is classic. Whenever I'm in the car and it comes on the radio I always turn it up to 10

When I listen to Boston it makes me so happy. This is my go-to cleaning music!

I came here just to see your reaction to Brad Delps vocals, in particular his high notes. Was not disappointed. Your reaction was 1000% the proper reaction on a 1st time listen and it never gets old 30 years later. His voice BLENDS PERFECTLY with the guitars where you can't tell if it's him or the guitar! Check out *RICK BEATO* channel review of this song, he singles out the TRACKS and you can hear how PURE and PERFECT Brad's voice is. As good as MANY other vocalists are I've never heard them match an instrument like Delp does.

Boston today is less a band and more a studio project that tours w/ session players, all directed by Tom Scholz (guitar)... Tragically, both original singer Brad Delp and drummer Sib Hashian (who played on the first 2 Boston albums) have passed away... Delp recorded a 3rd Boston album '3rd stage' in 1986 before leaving the band. He took his own life in 2007... Sib Hashian died in 2017. Tom Scholz was a genius student at M.I.T. around 1969 when he started work on music, playing guitar and writing songs in his basement studio that he built in the early 70's. He worked w/ Brad Delp (vocals) who also played guitar and future Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau to record his music... Scholz played guitar, bass and keyboards... When he didn't get the sound he wanted, he used his engineering skills to make the sounds happen w/ the electronics. However, the music industry rejected the Boston demos in 1973. In 1975, there was label interest, but Scholz did not have an actual band... So, he and Brad Delp got Sib Hashian (drums), Frank Sheehan (bass) and Barry Goudreau (guitar) to showcase the songs in a live setting and got a deal... Scholz insisted he finish the record in his studio and played most of the instruments on the first Boston album (Sib Hashian played drums and Brad Delp did lead vocals and some guitar). In 1976, the debut album by Boston was released and became a massive hit on radio - it would sell 17 million copies in the US to date and became a classic record... the band went on tour and were a sensation. With over 10 million copies of the first Boston album sold, the pressure was on to deliver a 2nd record, and the band delivered "Don't look back" in 1978... It was another hit and sold 3 million copies. However, Tom Scholz was unhappy w/ the record and felt it sold less because it was "rushed"... He insisted on taking his time for the next Boston album. Years passed and Boston were still in limbo... Goudreau, Hashian and Sheehan ended up quitting the band as Scholz switched labels and finally delivered the album '3rd stage' in 1986... it sold another 3 million copies, and Boston toured w/ new members... Brad Delp ended up leaving the band for personal reasons by 1990. Boston was also involved in a lawsuit w/ their former label in the 80's that was resolved by 1990 in Scholz's favor. Scholz recruited new musicians and singers for the 'Walk on' album in 1994, but even w/ Brad Delp contributing some vocals to the record, it was a commercial disappointment... Tom Scholz carried on recording new Boston albums w/ various musicians, released years apart (the next album 'Corporate America' came out in 2002)... There was talk about Brad Delp rejoining Boston (he would perform w/ them on tour from time to time) but he ended up committing suicide in 2007.

I love that you had to go back after the start. Yes, it's just this amazing to listen to today as the first day it came out. RIP Brad, you will never be forgotten and missed every day! ♥

All of these guys were so gifted. Good on you to notice this!

I was 16 when my girlfriend bought me the Boston album. Slammed it on the turntable and cranked it up. First track - More Than A Feeling, followed by Peace of Mind then the epic Foreplay/Long Time. Blew. My. Freaking. Mind. (And still does). I must have played that trio of songs at least a dozen times before my mother cracked it and shut me down for the night. That first hearing of this amazing album is etched deep into my DNA. Glad to see people still having the same reaction nearly 5 decades later!

My heart is so happy you enjoyed this classic 😊

We used to call Boston's first 2 albums, bostons GREATEST HITS volume 1 and 2.

The other guys you see were just brought in to perform live. Tom is the one who wrote and orchestrated the first album in his home studio. He is an MIT engineering graduate specializing in electronics. He built his own effects gear including The Rockman, a guitar amp simulator resembling a Walkman. He founded Scholz Research and Development to built it and other electronic gear. He basically is Boston. He just couldn't sing and play drums the way he envisioned his music to sound. Without his genius there would be no Boston.

Best time, to me anyways, to listen to this song is just as you are off work as the sunsets with the city night life set to wake up. Best time to play this song, it's a mood setting song.

Great Musicians vocals!@@ I was a kid when they came out...i am 70!😂❤❤

Original "touring" members of Boston in 1976. Barry Goudreau (guitar), Tom Scholz (guitar and many, many other instruments), Sib Hashian (drummer, replaced 1st drummer, Jim Masdea), Brad Delp (lead vocals, guitar and keyboards), and Fran Sheehan (Bass).

enough rock to melt your face off! prime air guitar and air drum territory

My favorite group of all time.....classic and never gets old. Loved this reaction!

So sad... what Brad brought and could've brought to this world is astounding. RIP Brad Delp... one of a kind. He's up there with Freddie giving the heavens a show.

Many consider the album Boston from the group with the same name to be the best debut rock album ever. I’m one of them. 😂😂😂

This was back in the day with no auto tune just guys that could do it.

Love Boston! If you haven't yet...try out Kansas "carry on wayward son" the video of them singing.... you'll really enjoy that one.

Find the full version… this guy had a ridiculous range! One of my all time fave tracks…

The three names you mention were involved in the recording of the album. The guys you see on stage were the touring band. Also note that the late Sib Hashian on drums was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's father-in-law.

Love Boston and love Brad's voice, its like no other!!

I have never met one person who didn't at least like this song and most love it as one of their lifetime favorites. I'm so glad I grew up in the Era of peak rock and roll. I might be an old man but I'm a cool old man who heard the best stuff as soon as it hit the shelves. A real masterpiece. Great reaction. You just earned a subscriber.

One of the very, very best classic rock tunes ever. EVER.

Love this reaction. Shows true appreciation of how awesome Brad Delp was. This song is almost 50 years old. It's a song I just never get tired of hearing..

This song always puts me in a great mood. The stereo gets turned to maximum and i dance and sing along. Not many songs have the ability to do that to you.
