This is a song you could hear 10, 000 times, and when it comes on the radio, you still turn it up.

I met Brad Delp when Boston came to the State University of New York in Plattsburgh, as I was a member of the Concert Committee. It was when they were doing the sound checks that they took a break and he came over and asked me how they sounded. First, I was tongue tied, could not get my words out, chuckling at the same time. Once I quickly got my composure, I told him that it was absolutely magical. He smiled, and then we just talked about life in general and what my plans were. I did say to him that the first time I heard him and the band, was when I was in the Canadian Navy, sailing off the coast of San Francisco, when I heard "More Than a Feeling" in the EW room, where we had a RACOL radio which intercepted radio signals from all over the world. I had the headphones at the time, totally quiet in the room, and just listened to the song, taking in the energy of this masterpiece. The five minutes I spent with him have always been at the top of my memories of an artist who departed too early in life. RIP Brad, I am sure you are singing with the angels around you. You are sorely missed.

Between Brad Delp’s absolutely unparalleled voice and Tom Scholz’s production wizardry and technical innovation, this album is one of those very few 10/10 perfect albums.

[TomChopperGuitar]

One of the greatest feel-good songs of all time. Written by a master and sung by an angel.

[youbertu]

1976 was one of those years...More Than a Feeling, Crazy On You, Bohemian Rasphody, Golden Years, Carry On Wayward Son, 2112, American Girl, Rhiannon, Don't Fear The Reaper, Cherry Bomb, Takin' It To The Streets, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Silly Love Songs, Gimme Back My Bullets, Slow Ride, Rock And Roll All Night, Evil Woman, Fox On The Run, Do You Feel Like We Do, If You Leave Me Now...all in one year!!! #letsgettoit Elizabeth :)

[NoneYaBidness]

This album is a masterpiece. One of the greatest ever done.

[patches]

Brad Delp could hit notes only dogs could hear. Incredible power, range and inflection control. One of thee GOAT's for sure.

[lilianakarapas]

A stunning voice never to be forgotten by anyone who hears him sing. Wish he was still here happy & more recognised than he was in his lifetime. Not fair.

[crazeyjoe]

I worked a staging gig for Boston one time. Brad took the time to thank each stagehand individually. He was a class act and a great talent!

[CaptainBakerJason]

With all due respect to Tom Scholz’s innovative guitar, technology, and production … there is simply no Boston possible without the vocals of the late, great Brad Delp.

[moosecat]

The fact that Brad was not only able to hit those notes, but also hold the notes AND put power behind them, made his voice literally "one in a million".

[silenog]

My sis worked for a company that got Boston to play a christmas party gig. I went. Only about 120 people there. I stood off to the side about 15 feet away.
THEY BLEW MY MIND! Sounded just like the album. They finished the first set and I went right to the drummer, shook his hand and said you guys sound unbelievable!He said "you really think so?" I couldn't believe I was talking to Boston.

[chocolate-yoddah]

Brad's voice was perfection. He remains in death what he was in life, one of the greatest male vocalists in Rock history. I didn't learn until decades after I first heard this album that Brad did all the vocals on every song. Wow. And Tom is a genius, literally. He invented equipment in order to create their sound. Amazing.

[craigcook]

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 ( the ‘band’ was formed after the debut album was released) 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!

[charlietwotimes]

His voice actually carries on under the guitar part. When it's solo tracked you can hear under where the guitar "comes in"... exvept it doesnt come in, it overlaps. Phenomenal register. If you see Rick Beato's analysis of this song where he isolates the vocal track it'll blow your mind! Ahh-ahh-ahh ❤

RIP Brad Delp. Story is so sad 😢

[peterkerek]

Over the last few years I've felt that this was the single greatest vocal performance heard on a mainstream radio-played song.

[mottahead]

I'm happy that Brad Delp is getting recognized in this video as the truly talented singer that he was.
His voice will live forever in his recorded songs.

[castroup]

"I closed my eyes and I slippled away...." The way Brad Delps voice just melts into Tom Scholz's opening guitar riff still sends chills up my spine even after all these years.

[robpittman]

Best debut album of all time...period. Brad's vocals with Scholz guitar sound are musical magic and incomparable.

[PATRICKFULLAN]

No auto-tune, just pure talent.Todays so-called bands couldn't hope to match the talent this band has.The 70's music was/is/and will always be the standard by which other music is judged R.I.P. Mr Delp.
