Brad Delp's voice is absolutely one of the greatest ever. I was blessed to grow up in Southeastern Massachusetts with Boston, Aerosmith, J. Geils, The Cars, all Boston bands. Amazing teenage years.
Im going back to the 70s WRIGHT NOW ,,,, Im Out here LOL ,,, More than a feeling came out in 1976 ,,, The same year AS PETER FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE Witch was a NOTHER Monster SIZED Album From the 70s ,,,
This song to me is perfection . The vocals,The lyrics, The arraignment, The mixing . To me there can be no “ Greatest” rock song but this is one of several Songs that achieve perfection . Heard this song for more than 40 plus years and I still will not turn off the radio or Bluetooth until it ends
I first heard More than a Feeling when it came out in 1976...I was 6 years old. Even being so young it caught my ear...it really did. Unfortunately I was too young to see them in concert and watch them play it. Even to this day I jog with Boston on my ears and remember the 70's and all the fun times being a kid then...always wishing I could go back in time.
Don't you LOVE how the guitar can take over a high note from Brad, and then he takes it back? No one does this like Boston. Brad Delp was one of a kind vocalist and Tom Scholz is a maestro musician and technician. He built the studio this was recorded in. In his basement. Then later, he invented the Rockman guitar effects pedal! More Than a Feeling is one of the six songs I would have to have on a deserted Island for my very survival.
For those of us that had the privilege of coming to age during this era was a blessing in itself- The amount of quality music from this time period is astounding & most of the hidden gems that exist are known to us that experienced them during those early days.
70's was the best for albums! That era was the era of all music! I feel sorry for anyone who didn't get to experience it. Kenwood stereo, big speakers! ❤️
I was jamming to this album brand new in the barracks, stationed in Germany, drinking Bitburger Pilsner. Read about the origins of this first album, done in his basement and one guy did all the instruments.
I came across this information about how the album was developed only a few years ago. Blew my mind. Especially as their first hit song was Rock n Roll Band. Hilarious!
As I did when I bought my first stereo setup in Kitzingen, West Germany. Boston, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin etc, all on LP. 1982-84 served with Battery A, 3d Battalion, 67th Air Defense Artillery as part of 3d Infantry Division. Best tour of my 20 years in the Army.
@@scottlaughlin9897 Producer John Boylan who recorded all of Brads vocals at Capital Studios Studio C said that Brad was very easy to work with. Boylan also stated that there was no studio wizardry or tricks used on Brads vocals and that Brad hit those high notes with ease.
Hard to imagine Tom Scholz wrote produced and played everything on the album! The only thing he didn't do was the vocals, which he hired a vocalist to sing on the record. It was entirely recorded on a 4-track recorder then brought to an actual studio for mixing and mastering.
And Scholz told the record company he had a full band, because who would sign some unknown dude and expect a massive hit album...how long did it take him, 3 years?
In all these first time reactions to Boston....you see Boston's music reach into the person's heart. That's the jam. Recent music doesn't have it so much.
I was 13 yrs old when this album came out. It sold a million copies in one month! Everybody had this album. It blew the world away! It was recorded in the guitar players basement! Talk about knowing what your doing! This album to date has sold over a billion copies world wide!!! No band has ever hit that mark except for BOSTON. They got big so fast that the lead singer Brad Delp was totally overwhelmed. It broke him and he committed suicide to escape the fame. There is no disaster like fame if you are not ready for it! He will be greatly missed.
This album came out while I was in high school. We would leave for lunch, a bunch of us, and go to a clearing in the woods and listen to this and party. The whole album was amazing.
I only seen them once but I can’t recall the exact year but it was not long after they hired that Home Depot guy to replace Brad Delp. That was one hell of a show!
This was the song that introduced Boston to the world...it was life changing hearing it as a teenager...every song released after this was better than the last...Spectacular...
Boston is a great band to listen. On the same hard-rock family you have Kansas, Styx, Toto, Journey, Reo Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Meat Loaf and Survivor. Closer to Deep Purple’s sound, check Uriah Heep, Blue Oyster Cult and Magnum. Besides Scorpions, dive on early Def Leppard, UFO, Michael Schenker Group and early Europe. Doctor, Doctor from UFO, Strange Ways from Deep Purple and Wasted from Def Leppard, are great songs for your ride. Great stuff!
@@Exisles they were... MSG Michael Schenker Group and in the late eighties became Mcauley Schenker Group when vocalist Robin McAuley joined Michael. Michael Schenker has also a past in Scorpions and UFO. He is the brother of Rudolph Schenker, Scorpions guitarist.
@@joaopaulohenriques1404 No, not MSG, we're getting lines crossed here ! I was referring to Boston; Who this reaction video is about. One guy at the mixing desk, blending session musicians together at his home studio. Forgotten his name & I don't do Wiki. He might have also been the vocalist, as well as the sound engineer & producer.
@@Exisles : Got it! :)... Boston were a very popular band in early eighties with the nr1 hit song Amanda, a power ballad. There is a more recent project called Intelligent Music Project that gathers musicians from Toto, Asia, Uriah Heep... it's soft rock, but good stuff!... I don't know if this is what you were thinking... "T" might like this info, Michael Sweet from Stryper was Boston's singer for 4 years (2007-2011), but I don't remember anything recorded with him. All the best!
70's into the late 80's was the era of some of the best rock music. The vocals were amazing, the musical arrangements were great. I grew up on this music!
You should do a whole Album Review of Boston Boston…..it is definately one of the best albums ever from start to finish…keep those Boston reactions coming !!!
There’s no doubt that the 70s was the greatest decade of music, when musicians actually played and singers actually sang!! Love the reactions bro, much love 🤘🤘🤘
Many of us elders listened to these old classics when they were first released, and heard them over many years, getting so used to hearing them, we took them for granted. Now, after all these years, we watch someone much younger hearing them for the first time and see the expression on their face, as they sit in amazement at the sounds, reminding us that these really are great songs, even today.
This song… I never tire of it. This song is now one of those old songs they used to play but it never gets old… it’s timeless. I am like the Marianne in the lyrics who walked away from a boy way back when it came out, and he’s gone now and I still miss him. It gets me every time. And when Brad Delp hits that incredible high note and holds it, my heart breaks all over again. Thank you so much for sharing this tune. Everything about it is amazing… the music, the vocals, the memories .❤❤❤
Man.....check out ":foreplay/ long time"....by Boston...I feel ya, this song specifically takes me back to being 15 again every time, it never fails. love it.
What's amazing is that to get the guitar sustain, back then, Scholz was like a scientist, figure out ampload, voltage regulation, in order to crank the head and get natural compression, sustain, straight Marshall amp head. There was no digital Boston patch to dial up in 1976.
This album is easily and arguably the greatest debut album in the history of recorded music. Every song on it is a masterpiece. Don't take my word on it, listen to it and read your reviews. To say this , Bostons' debut album is the GOAT is a very strong statement, particularly considering the contenders... This album stands above and amongst the best ever... There are only 3 other 'debut' albums that come close, and they are all just one track or two behind and all tied for second place . Led Zeppelin 1 Van Halen 1 Guns and Roses ( Appetite for Destruction) ✌🤟 How's that for stiff completion... Rock-on TnT...😎
Listening to this album start to finish is a special treat. It keeps building momentum with each song and you'll eventually hit the top end of your volume knob.
This song is Timeless. I have to say that I favor watching the video for this song, I love watching Brad Delp sing it, and it brings you back to that time. He was so Incredible. I hope you will check the video out. RIP Brad!!
Hands down this is my favorite album. There is not one skip song on it! Absolute perfection. Brad Delp had one of the most amazing voices. Check out their songs off this album. Foreplay/longtime Peace of mind Rock and roll band
Boston's debut album is one of the rarities where every song on the album is still in heavy rotation on Classic Rock FM radio stations even to this very day. Every song is at least as good as "More Than A Feeling". I'd recommend "Foreplay/Long Time" from this album next. It's incredible!
I've recently become a fan of Reaction videos. I enjoy watching young guys appreciate the music that was so impactful when I was young. Well done, TNT.
So happy you are diving into some Classic Rock! So many great bands and so much awesome music to explore! Keep On Rockin` p.s. I love Boston and one of my faves by them has always been Peace of Mind
This was for me the start of my appreciation of music. I fell I love with the utter brilliance an talents of Brads vocals an Toms genius. It was an album where every song was a hit. I was thirteen when I bought this an still 45 years later I still feel the wonder an joy each time I listen
You just looked so happy when that Intro built up and then the singing started! Like a little kid, I'm so thankful to have shared this moment with you. Awesome reaction, big fan of you and your wife!
This whole album is a must have for any classic rock collection. It's consistently a party for my ear drums, then on the B side, there's one song that tones things down, then afterwards it picks back up. Really awesome album. Classic rock can only truly be appreciated with quality headphones, with a turntable that has a quality stylus. There's so much robustness in music on vinyl from this era that can't be replicated in digital format. You're cheating yourself out of a real audio experience if listening to classic rock in digital format.
This song brings me back to a time when I was a 10 year old boy. All those feelings of what it was like growing up having my parents, brothers, and sister there. It's like a dream.
8th grade, military school. 3am this song starts blaring from another kids room. I mean, full blast, 3am! Wakes the whole school up. Poor kid paid for that one, but in 56 years it's still one of my favorite memories. :)
Crazy all the music was done by one guy and a singer. Interesting band to dive into. One guy wrote all the lyrics and music. And played all the instruments in the album from a home built studio in an apartment. This guy invented a lot of stuff studio wise. He worked for IBM or something at one point.
Ohhhh, this song brings back memories. I dated a guy back in my late teens who had a black TransAm with the orange & red stripes down the sides, t-tops and red, leather interior. This beast had a shift kit in it and had the Boston spaceship and the crystal city was hand-painted (not by him, of course) on the hood scoop. Every time I hear a Boston song, it brings me back to that car chirping into second gear! /m\ Boston was always amazing. Killer vocal range, dueling guitars in solos. I recommend: Smokin' Peace of Mind
It was so much fun watching your reaction to this most awesome song and so much fun to rock out to it w you!!! You have such a great energy!!! Thanks for making me smile!!!
You are exactly right , as far as I what it’s about. I was a teenager when this came out and it just takes me back to that time in my mind and my feelings. It was a great time to be young
