It was the day Queen released "News of the World", and we listened to the world premier on KROQ from L.A. while playing Frisbee. We may be old, but we definitely saw the great bands!

I think it's because they realized that they don't have to put any effort into it anymore. At some point in the late 90's/early 2000's the "artists" just seemed to stop trying and the people that bought or played their music seemed to stop caring. They just accepted that the boring, repetitive, generic music that they were being fed must be good because it was what was available. There's 50 years of good rock music, plus classical music, out there for anyone who wants to find it. When I hear the current drivel coming out of store sound systems or other peoples' car stereos I just ignore it as white noise.

@@AzDesertFoxx no, if you want me to get into it. There’s nothing inherently wrong in many newer genres of music with artists “not playing their own instruments”. I understand the gripe with things like 2000s boy bands and trite meaningless radio pop music, but in another sense, judging say an experimental electronic artist for not playing guitar or drums is like judging a fish on its ability to climb a tree. The thing you must understand is that in a digital social climate, computers and the studio itself are an instrument. You don’t have to personally listen to it, many people of the young generation don’t. But to say it’s bad or lacks talent because it doesn’t fit the frame of reference you created for what music should sound like probably 30+ years ago is just shortsighted and closed minded. If you want some new bands that “play their own instruments” I can recommend some.

He recorded most of it and produced it in his home studio in Boston. He hired the singer, Brad Delp to sing, and all of the back up harmonies are Delp singing. None of the people in this video sang or played much, if any at all on the album. They were just used for touring.

I discovered Boston my junior year in HS, 1976. It changed Rock and Roll forever. Founding Member Tom Scholz created the band from his basement. He engineered and recorded every single instrument himself at first. He created demos of the songs and then found Delp, the lead singer, to perform the vocals. Boston's style and Scholz's upbringing blended Classical, Rock, and soul when it hit the airwaves. The band members once they were asked by the record label to play live, had to be auditioned, and practiced about 3-5 months before they did their first live gig, following Scholz's master tapes. So literally, the band formed AFTER a record deal had been struck. Schulz engineered and created foot pedals for guitars for that era of music and made millions from the sales of the transforming sound from bands world wide, used to this very day. All members of Boston were from Boston. The voices of Brad Delp and Tom Schulz were dubbed and overlayed, giving the effect of a wide range of fullness and sound effects that had not yet been heard in the late 70's. The slide along the guitar with the instruments effect pad was a first for the era of music during that time and put Boston on top of the charts for 132 weeks. Delp committed suicide and there is to this day a controversy over the reasons why. Tom Scholz, now 78 is the only living survivor of the band.

Okay, it's the end of summer of 1976. You're 15 years old, just starting high school, chomping at the bit to get your driver's license, and with it some independence. You're listening to the radio while goofing off with your friends in your garage one weekend, then this tune comes on. Everyone stops talking and listens intently. When the song is over, you look at each other, and almost in unison say, "Oh, I have GOT to go get this album...!" Yeah. It was like that. This album was one of the 4 you HAD to have around that time, or you just weren't getting a date. End of discussion.

4:38 when he climbs up to that note, you're blown away by it, so much so that its easy to miss 4:43 when he goes even higher! Insane vocals. Truly a legend that probably doesn't get quite as much credit as he deserves.

Phenomenal music in each decade...as well as lots of pure junk, a truth that _always_ gets overlooked when people reminisce about their favourite era...if you have an open mind and have the inclination to actually _look_ for it.

Tom Scholz, the lead guitarist, was an engineer at Polaroid and built a recording studio in his basement. Every instrument you hear in this recording is him. He was friends with Brad Delp and got him to record this unbelievable vocal. The rest of the band were added later. Scholz had numerous technical inventions still used in recording. Amazing story, one of the best debut albums. I can still remember the first time I heard this masterpiece when I was 12. Loved seeing you hear it for the first time.

@minkgraver Tom did not play all of the instrument tracks on this record. The song Let Me Take You Home was recorded at the Record Plant studio and the band pictured on the back of the record cover played the instrument tracks on that song. Brad also co wrote Smokin' as well. All of Brads vocals sans his vocals for Let Me Take You Home were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios Studio C in LA Tom does not play a single drum track on this record. Sib plays all drum tracks but one, and the remaining drum track is played by Jim Masdea. This has been documented in the liner notes of every copy of this record/CD that has ever been sold. Barry plays all electric rhythm guitars on Foreplay and Long Time. Barry also plays the lead guitar solos on Long Time as well. Fran plays bass on Foreplay as well. Tom has not been the most honest, upfront and transparent person when he tells who did what on this record and how this record really came to be. Tom knew Brad ever since Barry introduced him to Brad back in 1969/1970. The record company heard Brads voice on the demos that eventually got their attention and to the record company execs Brad was just as much Boston as Tom was from the very beginning. Without Brad agreeing to sing these songs, Tom may not have ever got the record deal.

@@neechee5150 True. The recently discovered 'demos' that were recorded in Tom's basement are Not the songs you hear on their first album. That is an urban myth (not denied by Tom himself). The songs on their first album, self-titled "BOSTON" were recorded by these members but not in Tom's basement. The record label demanded the songs be recorded in one of their studios and mastered by one of their engineers. The original demo to this song can be heard here. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lmh3qpmXoHuBp20 Compare it to the released song yourself. They're similar but the differences are obvious.

@@taproom113 Note quite. Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was recorded by producer John Boylan in LA with the band as pictured on the back of the record playing the tracks. All of Brads vocals were recorded by Boylan in two LA studios. Sans the one song and Brads vocals all of the other tracks were recorded by Tom in his basement studio. Boylan determined very early on that it was best to let Tom work the way that he is used to working, and so Boylan developed a facade by having the band as pictured on the back of the record record songs in LA. This bought time for Tom to re-record all of his tracks for the record. I am not sure that you understand what it means to master a record and how that is done, It is a well documented fact that Wally Traugautt mastered this record. Tom's studio simply did not have the equipment to master this record and Tom did not have the experience and training to be able to master this record anyway. If you were talking about mixing this record, that took place at Westlake Studios in LA

The guitarist wrote the entire album alone in his basement while he worked a regular job...he wrote all lyrics, played all instruments. He got a record deal off his recordings only, with the company thinking it was an entire band...once he got a record deal he then hired a vocalist and a drummer to re-do those parts...the rest is history.
