Beautiful, haunting song. I was 17 the year came out... I still remember figuring this solo out on the guitar.
Still as amazing as it was then.
Ping to a great song...
Don’t Look Back was a great album. Good music all the way through.
Great album. Great band. Unique sound.
After he was done with Boston, Brad Delph had a Beatles tribute band called Beatlejuice up here in New England, and it was pretty apparent it was a labor of love for him.
I liked a lot of Beatles music, and I went to see them every time I heard they were around. I would like to think, hearing Beatlejuice live in those bars and clubs had to be the closet thing to seeing the Beatles live...especially when they played the edgier, more rock and less pop songs of the Beatles earlier days.
It was loud and energetic! And the vocals sounded just like the Beatles. He did have talent.
Great song- I wish there were more early live versions available on Youtube-
The last few last verse and chorus are outstanding with the keyboards. And great vocals to boot.
One of the lousiest and overrated pop rock bands ever. I never could stand any Boston they played on the radio in the 80s. It was all just unlistenable with those cheesy guitars and exaggerated high vocals. I always thought of Boston as a parody of a rock band, but Spinal Tap actually was a fantastic parody of the rock n roll lifestyle, making Boston just look and sound like a bunch of wannabe schlubs.
I’ve added everyone that post so far to my heavy metal / rock n roll ping list I have recently started. You can see it on my profile page.
After the ‘chop’, now its Caitlyn Jenner’s song.
Lindsay Graham’s theme song?
Boston. Good clean rock. The Cars. Fun cool pop. Van Halen. Rulers of the Universe.
All was fine until one day in the early 1980’s there was a man named Henry Rollins and he introduced ugliness: Punk. Grunge. Rap. Rollins still hosts a weekly show on KCRW in Santa Monica. Wow.
Amanda by Boston still is a great song survives today.
