MORE THAN A FEELING - BOSTON - SINGER REACTS! 

I got "More Than A Feeling" in my top 10 greatest rock songs of all time. Anybody else?

Brad Delp was criminally underrated- his voice got me through my childhood in the 70’s- it was a great time to be alive- best music best movies and kids could still have freedom RIP Brad

Boston. The Greatest Rock N Roll Band. Sickening to think that they are not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame...

The vocal range on Brad Delp was unbelievable. Boston's debut was among the first 3 records I ever bought in '77 after hearing this song on the radio constantly the first year it came out. Gigantic song and gigantic debut album where every track was basically a single. I grew up with this stuff known as "classic rock" and knew back 45 years ago that these songs would be played and heard 50 years later and beyond. Nothing today even compares..

You may not realize that you are listening to one of the very best musical vocals matched to a song in history.......considered tops by many of the experts.

just listen to the whole first album... there are no bad songs, trust me

This is an edited lip-synced version. The regular audio version is FAR superior sonically. PEACE OF MIND is a great Boston song with relevant lyrics. Cheers Dani.

RIP Brad Delp. He had one of the BEST falsetto voices in rock and roll for sure. The only disappointing thing about this clip is it's an abbreviated version of the studio recording lip-synched to some live footage. It's not the best quality for sound. That entire album is a masterpiece.

Listen to this band in college 1978 and I still listen to it until now 2024 love it

I think the coolest moment in the song is when he sings the extended "... she slipped awaaay" and you cant tell where his voice ends and the guitar begins. Just a perfect transition.

What breath control he had. As a singer myself ( Bass in a gospel group) I really appreciate the effortless transitions AND the holding the notes for what can feel likr forever. Thanks for the reaction Dani.

Brad Delp was an amazing singer. He was underrated In Boston’s best days. People are now rediscovering Boston and realizing just how amazing the whole band was. RIP Brad, you definitely set the high bar.

Try checking out "Amanda" by Boston, it's a really good song.

Boston is one of the greatest bands in history. Saw them 7 times in concert. This is their debut album, with every single song amazing. Keep em coming Dani. 👍👍

Foreplay/Long time, or Hitch A Ride.

Once upon a time TALENT RULED the music world...it was a time BEFORE MTV!!

Yes !!! You'll want to check out Foreplay/Longtime by Boston as well. Nice pick. You'll be surprised to find out how much of that talent really came from one person.

The best part, Dani? The lead guitarist played ALL the music (except the drums), mixed it, then everyone else came in and had to learn it well enough to play it live.

It's a knife in the heart every time I hear somebody say "music from back then"!😁

The BOSTON debut album (released august 26,1976) is one the biggest selling albums in music history. The album was recorded by Tom Scholz in his basement studio. Tom plays all instruments except drums on the album. Brad Delp does ALL vocals. Tom also wrote every song except "let me take you home tonight' written by Brad Delp. Tom also built many effects (the hyperspace pedal, the doubler , power soak and the Rockman amplifier ) to create the legendary Boston guitar sound. The album is a masterpiece from start to finish. It's considered the greatest debut album of all time. I hope you'll give it a listen.

This song was recorded back in 1975 with technology that we can best described as obsolete and archaic by today's standards. It's all sheer grit and hard work. And you can hear the quality ooze from start to finish. This song scores a 12 out of a scale of 1 to 10.

Love what you said about having real talent, definitely not like some of today’s singers such as Bieber or Taylor swift where it’s just screaming the same thing through whole song and not even a story it’s just a simple yea yeah yeah ooh ooh ooh lyrical song which I wouldn’t consider one of life depended on it how can swift consider herself a country singer she got lucky she was with Disney first you on the other hand I’m trying to figure out why you don’t have tours or contracts when you’re muuch better than them and a lot of others in today’s music , I listen watch your songs videos you’re making s come back keep going your voice is fixed ya had the surgery I believe you said cmon you’re so much better than Taylor swift

There is not a “filler” song on their self-titled debut album “Boston” of which this was the first song - this one grabs you and it only gets better as you enjoy the ride! This album, still, ranks as one if the very best albums ever recorded in the genre! It is sooooooo goooooood it’s easy to lose sight that it was a debut. Tom created a guitar sound never before heard and the late, great Brad Delp provided soaring vocal strains that were simply incredible. You can’t go wrong reacting to the rest of this legendary album! 👍🏻

when i was a senior in high school in 1978 we wore this "8-track tape" out..Kids today dont know what real talent is like. They listen to this digital disney catalog crappola and dont have a clue

He was one of a kind……… often imitated, never duplicated.!!👀😎👍🤘👋✌️🇨🇦🎶🌟

You know you're old when you remember hearing this song when it was released, and she says, "music before my time."

Brad Delp, criminally underrated vocalist. There are notes in that that are out of Prince/Freddie range there and approaching Mariah Carey range.

RIP Brad Delp, no autotune just pure talent,

Tom Scholz the lead guitarist, was the producer, writer, sound engineer and inventor for this album. He also played all the instruments for the original recordings. Later a drummer was brought in. But the album was pretty much finished when it was brought to the music industry. Tom invented the rock pedal guitar system that is pretty much used now by all modern guitarists. On the Hitch a Ride song from this album during a guitar solo he switches timbre continuously showing off the new guitar pedal. This is also why you never heard garage bands and cover bands doing Boston songs. They could never make the guitars sound right since Tom invented the pedals and did not release the computer codes for the sounds he used for his own songs. So nobody could copy Boston songs, they never sounded right. Brad Delp is an amazing singer and Boston is not the same without him. RIP. Thanks for sharing and great reaction. You should check out every song on the album, literally go down the play list one after another and you will step back in time and hear the album like most of us did the very first time. Chris

Check out JOURNEY "Who's crying now?" live in Houston 1981. Then "Mother Father" from same concert.

45 years later that song is still my favorite

Their debut album is still one of the biggest selling debut albums of all time, in any genre. As Burt Etheridge said. Listen to the entire first album, every song has been played on Rock Radio for 40 years.

During World War 1 the British soldier was known as TOMMY ATKINSON I think lol

This band blew up so fast it cost the singer the love of his life. She wanted him around but his contractual obligations kept him on tour. The song THE MAN I WILL NEVER BE is a cry for help from the singer as he was losing the woman he loved due to the sudden unexpected success of the band. Losing her sent him into a deep depression and he killed himself. Money and success is no match for true love.

He goes from head voice to chest voice with no transition, his falsetto is flawless.

Dani, I think you might want to check out the music of YES: I've Seen All Good People or Roundabout.

It was great times back then Dani. I am sure you would have loved it. The world sure has changed. At least the music lives on. Great reaction.

The legends say that he's still holding that note to this very day

Oh also this was done in a Basement studio built by Tom Scholz. This is pure vocal talent. No dubbing no synth or autotune

Scientifically proven to be the best song ever written and performed.

Check out all of Boston. That's the easiest way to say it. Lol

I LOVED your comment "how it was based on talent and talent ALONE". So very true. We didn't care about looks, sex, race or sexual identity. (Heart, Hendricks, Bowie, Elton, etc.). When no one called attention to those things it was the music that mattered. Today it's what you represent.

Listen to the isolated tracks for a REAL treat.

I think it was 1977, I was 13 and ditching school. I had the house to myself and I'd sneak into my sisters room and go thru her record collection. I came across Boston's first album. I was blown away just by the cover and had never heard of them. Side 1, song 1 is More Than A Feeling. It was a gorgeous southern California day, blue sky, etc., I put the album on and couldn't bleev wut I was hearing! Was BLOWN away! Spent the entire morning into afternoon playing this one song. This song can't really be appreciated unless you listen to it from the original studio album. Nice review. You gotta listen to Gonna Hitch A Ride from this same album, side 2.

Catching this song was like catching lightening in a bottle, it's pure perfection from start to finish. One of the most played songs of all time on the radio.

Back in the 70s there was a group of us (7 of us and our girlfriends) who use to go see Boston anytime they played within 200 miles of us. I saw Boston in Bristol TN. Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro NC and Atlanta, GA

Yes hello it's me again hey there at around 2:30 p.m. Monday happy holiday yes that's awesome the past Boston so good group I think they have another song by Boston called Amanda they have others to their group from the past younger days say have a good day from Canada Toronto Scarborough Ontario from Carl Supertramp Garnett God bless be safe and stay healthy

Boston is a Classic Rock Band in itself. Brad Delp the Lead singer of Boston, knows how to sing and play with great vocal control. The rest of the band brings all the musical instruments and vocals together like a Great master piece. In the video, the Bass player is dancing in his own little world and having a blast doing it! RIP Brad Delp one of the Greatest Lead singer's from the 70's and 80's. Rock On Boston 🤘🤟👊✊🤙

Hi Dani i likd your new studio nice colours😇🥰thanks again for bringing me back ti hifh school

"Foreplay / Long Time next please.

I saw Boston on their very first tour open for Foghat at the time..I'm still listening in 2022?...Never saw that happening.

We're Ready, Cool the Engines and A man I'll never be and Can'tcha say you believe in me to name but a few

Brad delp had a 4 or 5 octave voice, he was incredible RIP Brad. Boston's entire first was destined to be a classic fron the day it was released. It was also the last concert I saw before entering the military.

The album Boston is a treasure.

More than a feeling is a absolute perfect rock song .

Rip Brad Delp One of the best voices I've ever heard.

No scantily-clad women dancing, no synchronized dance moves. Just music, real music. Boston has been my favorite rock band since their debut. Outstanding stuff. Keep the Boston reviews coming. I think you might like, "A man I'll never be."

Great job here Dani! Keep up the good work! From one college grad to another. Let's do dinner soon? Really. Later!

As others have noted, you really don't want to listen to "live" Boston recordings. The genius of Boston happened in Tom Scholz's basement as he played all of the instruments except drums, invented the electronics for the guitar effects, and arranged a perfect debut album that still blows new audiences away nearly 50 years later. Brad Delp's amazing vocals (layered in by Scholz) complete the package. Listen to the whole album -- the sound is consistent, but every song is distinct, and they're all perfection.

Their whole first album is a masterpiece.

Amanda is another song they do along the same lines

Man I'll Never Be is on the same level of excellence

Brad Delp lived just a couple of miles down the road from us in Atkinson, NH. My son just happened to work at the nearby Home Depot and got to speak to him shortly before he committed suicide. He had connected a dryer hose to his car exhaust, but had toyed with the idea of a barbeque in the bathroom. The man was a super star who left us so unexpectedly, as have so many others over the years. RIP.

This album was released the summer I graduated from high school, bought the 8-track and it played quite often until the deck ate it. This whole album is a seventies masterpiece. Tom Shulz wrote most of the songs, arragned the music and engineered the album in his basement studio. At the time he was working as an engineer and did this part time until the group took off.

Boston was an innovator in how music sounds, they redefined the sound by using computers. Their first album is the standard by which all other rock music should sound. Real 'head-banging' music!

You need to checkout Hitch a Ride or Amanda. Both are wonderful.

This is your new favorite band they have so many hits. Their debut album, practically every song was a huge hit

You never cease to amaze me with your ability to recognize and select great talents Dani !!

Imagine listening to this in High School and they are still not in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Cool as hell! I grew up in the 80's and from Boston! Great lyrics back then. Then disco hit and then rap. It was downhill from there.

Very special song/singer/band.A LOT of this song had BD's voice"doubled".But he DID have a set of lungs!And Pipes!!I LOVE those high notes(vocal)!He sang em with AUTHORITY!!

Soaring vocals, soaring guitar. What's not to love?

Yes this version loses about a minute of of content.

RIP Brad. At one time my 3 favorite bands were Rush, Triumph, and Boston. Speaking of Rush, RIP Neil. My wife after 23 years left me and her name is Kimmy Anne so when he says "I see my Mary Anne walking away" I insert Kimmy Anne. Also the song Holly Anne is song that reminds me of my ex and not just because of the name and I do the aforementioned with that song as well. Gotta try Holly Anne by Boston and Cantcha say which is both on the 3rd Stage album.

Another good Boston song is Don’t Look Back

IMHO, this song has existed for me since it's release and to this day as the single greatest rock song ever. It is so incredibly complex and layered. Thanks for the reaction!

I seen them in concert in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 96. Was a great show

The best debut album ever! - Total greatness!

first group to mix music with computer

Boo. It's the short version of the song

Yeah times when they actually had a person play the instruments and singing without being digitally altered

This was the first concert I ever went to in the fall of '78 with a few college buddies. It was in Bloomington, Minnesota and Sammy Hagar (whom I hadn't heard of at that time) warmed up for them. It was a great concert!

BAD BOYS FROM BOSTON

Dani thank you for reacting to my request, I am glad you enjoyed it and got to see some more of the talent that i grew up listening to,

Dani... He is one of the best all time vocalists ever

DANI, I agree that singer in the group had some fantastic lung capacity to hit and hold those musical notes was out of sight that I have ever seen/heard of by any singer/musician. Great Review DANI Best Wishes always for your reviews Happy Singing.😘

Great song!! True rock Saw them in London in the 70s

Great reaction Dani! Brad Delp was truly a fantastic singer. So sad he chose to end his life by carbon monoxide poisoning at 55.

LOL, I was in the 8th grade when this album came out. Blown away and 50 years later still nothing can come close. Brad Delp was the greatest singer of the modern age! Young Lady, if you get a chance check out Rick Beato breaking down this song, he shows just how complex and well put together it was ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ynFNt4tgBJ0.html

Technology is a great thing, but going back to those generations and seeing just what raw talent looks like is absolutely amazing 👍🎶🎶🎤🎤💯💯

I love how he went high... and if that wasn't enough, went higher... and then insanely higher, and... ok fine, not impressed? Hold my beer... hope my guitar can keep up 🤔

fun fact: The caveman drummer is Sib Hashian (deceased), and was the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's current wife.

Please listen to "Do ya" by ELO. Also, 2112 by Rush. EPIC...JUST EPIC!!!!

Fun random fact not musically related: late Boston drummer Sib Hashian's daughter Lauren is married to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

everything in the 70's was better cept for the presidents, movies, music, television, the people, food was less processed, i was a sophmore when i saw boston live, every song is fire on that debut album, 17 million copies sold, eventually surpassed by appetite for descruction in 85 with 19 million in debut album history of record sales, live they had a killer lazer light show with those freaky spaceship noisesi i was high AF never forget that concert, in 1976 now listen to foreplay/longtime

Dani please listen to queensrych live in Tokyo 1984 take hold of the flame Geoff Tate is beyond awesome 🤘🤘 and hello I'm new to ur channel I'm Drew from pasadena ca nice to meet you! Check out smoking from Boston as well too 🎸🤘

I'm not seeing anything by Journey with Steve Perry on your channel. You seem to like great vocal range. You should check out Journey's album Escape.

Hey you're cute. :3 To be honest I have grown listening this music because of my father. You see the impact of this genre around the world considering that I'm Latino. This music id amazing and I think should be overated as part of the US culture.

BOSTON (Tom Scholz) did not use computers! They made a point of that, saying so on the first album release. Although Tom was an electronics genius, his electronics were analog, not digital.

One of the greatest Rock n Roll bands of the era and if their not in the RRHOF there's something definitely wrong!!! Dolly Parton can get in the RRHOF but not a band like Boston makes no sense
