Don't forget, Brad Delp is doing all the background harmonies. No auto tune, 100% talent.

Those magic soaring notes where you don't know where Brad's Voice stops and Tom's Guitar begins...that is the magic being made here.

Brad Delp has one of the greatest voices in rock history.. Great Band.. RIP Brad..

Being a 70s child I can tell you we were blown away as kids. The greatest era of music talent. Amazing musicians!

[shorerocks]

I am 57, heard this one a million times... and it gets better everytime. Perfection in arrangement, melodies, playing. And then. The vocals. Pure beauty.

This music is my life! At 65 years old now, I still listen to this music. Nothing, and I mean nothing that's done today even comes close to this! Thanks for looking at this era of music. Keep it up.

This was the favorite song of my wife and I since we heard it in our early twenties. We were together thirty years before she passed away. This song has so much of a different meaning for me now because of the lyric " When I'm tired and thinking cold, I hide in my music, forget the day, and dream of a girl I used to know, I closed my eyes and she slipped away." The kids and I miss you Krissy.❣️

I really like the idea of listening to the whole song once through and then going back to analyze !

When you asked was it like when I was in the car and heard the song for the first tears to my eyes. I was 16 and I only wished I knew then how much this song, album and band would be so influential in my far as music is concerned. I would have consumed it much more carefully. I would have savored those moments so much more. Brad Delp was the epitome of rock and roll of that era. That high range and delivery we see so much during the time. Just an amazing talent, the duo of Delp and Shultz can not be overstated. Ground breaking, inventive and just flat out incredible. The biggest crime in American rock and roll is that this band is NOT in the Rock And Roll Hall of shameful.

I think it’s sweet that you apologize for stopping, but remember…you stopping is WHY we are. We’ve all heard these songs before but seeing you light up with enthusiasm while sharing your unique brand of reaction, reverence, and insight is the REAL reason we’re here. Thank you for what you do.

RIP Brad Delp, one of the greatest rock vocalists ever. Incidentally this song has won numerous polls for best rock song of all time and the story of how Tom Scholz basically created the entire album by himself (except for the vocals) in his basement is legendary.

Also, this is '70s rock at its finest. This album was released in 1976 and yes, they were from Boston.

This is the blueprint for the PERFECT rock song. I can’t overstate my love for this song, this album, and this band.

[jeffwolinski]

Damn, I unexpectedly got all choked up watching Brad hit those high notes in the middle. What an amazing talent and by all accounts a great guy. So sorry you felt you had to leave us, Brad, you were absolutely loved. One of the greatest pure singers the world has ever heard.

[Stixenterprise]

The lost art of the 70's is one that those who experienced it all will treasure forever! To have such great artists and bands touching a vast array of genre will likely never happen again.

[kriskollmar]

So much to this band. Who else can say “I don’t need a product endorsement, I’ll just build all my own stuff.”

[michelledickerson]

I just seriously appreciate the fact that you don’t talk over the music. Thank you!

[markmontgomery]

Will always remember being a teenager in the 70s and hearing this song and album for the first time. It truly is amazing.

This is one of the few times that I had "the scoop." My cousin who had been in the navy was living in Hawaii and working as a DJ. He came home for a visit and brought a copy of the first Boston album, knew I was a budding guitarist, and "you gotta hear this" and I did and wow, actually blown away. Steven let me keep the album - and I still have it - and the jacket is even printed promotional, not for sale. I had the album for at least a couple of weeks before I ever heard Boston on the radio. I don't think I had quite turned 15 yet.

[evematice]

I was in high school when this came out. It wasn't just this song, it was the whole album. It was so different at the time.
My friends and i would leave for lunch and go to a beautiful clearing in the woods and party and listen to the whole album. Good times!! Everyone was listening to this. Brad was a phenomenal singer. RIP Brad.

[gregbates]

The perfect voice, the perfect rock song, and the perfect analysis. I keep watching this over and over.
