Boston - The Journey/It's Easy

[farboy1162007]

imagine your in that space guitar Jammin to this song exploring a new world!!!! WOW

[TheProgBox]

@farboy1162007 That is what growing up in the 70s was like, musically. Every day was full of new fresh amazing music. Unless you experienced it, you would never understand the vast explosion of sounds that came from that decade

[farboy1162007]

there is no better

[MrZlodeus]

Now that's what I call music! That was recorded,like, 33 years ago and it still sounds great!

[TheSunnyCloudBand]

R.I.P. Brad Delp June 12, 1951 – March 9, 2007

[lovemaker1972]

[Thecarlosmuerto]

@slycoopers BOSTON eres el mas grande ,GRACIAS POR SUBIRLO

[ShortFingeredShreder]

Everybody say goodnight to Tom Scholz! (He listens to this every night before he goes to bed!)

[Visualsilva]

man these guys were so great....they had such a big daring progressive sound in the late 1970's. they still sound great. they just don't make bands like this anymore.

[silverfox686]

Absolutely Epic!!!

Thanks for sharing,

For the record, Music transcends time!

Love ya all!

[farboy1162007]

[ToolsnFire]

Those were spacey times

[537onn1]

[537onn1]

boston is one of the best or if not the best band of the70's no other band can make another double song like this one & foreplay/longtime this one very cool band .long live Brad delp. 

[diofan4ever]

I will always be a Boston fan

[xyaqua]

one of the top ten songs of all time

[spiritman47]

It is so awesome having the honor of existing in this world during a time when such great musicians existed. This album brings back such fantastic memories of my life.These guys were so great at what they did I would pay $100 a ticket just to watch them eat a bowl of cereal. Thanks for posting this, I thoroughly enjoyed it1

[donsollock]

I was privy to see Brad on tour with the band in 2003 in Houston on the front row at the Woodlands Pavillion. And what a voice. The Band had Fran Cosmo for the high / high notes, but was one hell of a concert. Saw Boston again in 2008, same location, after Brad's passing...Yommy Decarlo 7 Michael Sweet were lead vocals... no where close to the same blending and voice quality. What a waste of talent.

DS.

[Heathro6250]

I love this so much. I was married in 2009 in St. Thomas over looking the ocean and one of the deal breakers that I had with my then "future wife" was that I wanted to dance to this after the nuptiuals. She agreed....she is now just "wife"....:D

[MsBitachi]

i really wish i was born in this time period with u guys. the music today is horrible, im 13 and i wish i had the privelage to go to concerts like boston. id spend my weekends at the collectibles shops reading MAD magazine and looking at vintage vinyls. thank god my dad got a turntable for his birthday!! :)))

[LedZepp1109]

@MsBitachi Stop whining kid.

[neweagles456]

AWESOME POST THANZ !!!

[Dzer63]

this album never ceases to transport me back in time to a place where i will forever cherish

[jo4nny]

The Journey reminds me of that future scene in Bill & Ted where they realize they're future rock gods. Awesome!

[goofygoat2009]

I used to play this whole record (yes, record, not the CD) in 1981 on my big sis's turntable--headphones on. Damn good music came out in late 70's and early 80's. I think I had good taste in rock as a kid.

[ToolsnFire]

@goofygoat2009 absolutely, late 70's early 80's were especially awesome with the output of so many bands

[archie977]

this is when people used to play music and not just ass titty noise

[MegaELECTRICEYE]

Great tune like the rest by Boston. And Boston is one of those groups you can stop listening to for a long time. Then listen to them again its like brand new. This band was so far ahaid of its time when they came out. Timeless.

[Komodoensis]

Nothing but great memories with Boston. Thanks for the upload :)

[xyaqua]

one of the top five songs ever. period.

no quarter.

[spencyj]

i just got the record dont look back with its jacket today and i love it

[paul44miles]

Man this bring back such great memories of my youth. Timeless music right here.

[farboy1162007]

boring my ass they are preparing us for the ultimate jam.

[farboy1162007]

boring my ass they are preparing us for the ultimate jam

[umokwell]

How do you spell "heaven?"  B-O-S-T-O-N.

[xyaqua]

@umokwell Heaven= Bradley Delp's chorused vocals. he had something there I can't put my finger on, but it moves my soul!

[xyaqua]

1 dislike? Who the F could not love this? The lead in is a bit boring if you are not a boston fan, but still? with no synth? and this is my favorite Bradley delp song ever. Best chorused voice i've EVER heard, and i'm pretty picky about this shit.

I was thinking abotu this today, who could come close? Freddie Mercury, maybe Geddy Lee, the guy from Rainbow....

But in this genre, and certainly this song, _nobody_ beats Bradley Lord Delp of Boston.

[cleareyedcleanheart]

i had it on 8-track. It was the differece between me and my myopic family.

[pampasg]

In my top 5 , of all around best bands .....These guys were truly Epic ,and the lyrics matched by none .........

[tmage01]

Damn, I enjoyed that. Hadn't heard it in years...

[slycoopers]

@tmage01 That's why i posed it, Im glad you enjoyed it.

[wentnova]

I grew up listenin to this guys.,

the girlfriends and the partys were kind and really...surreal

Ah what a times.,

overiders of hate...

the singer.....the best...

[litledevel15]

Wow, I can't believe I missed out on great music like this, why can't it come back, now we here is the justing bieber crap.

[lopro091]

This is a Bad Ass Jam.... >:-)

[theratfarmer]

i don't remove comments, i let them stand. six days later i read what i wrote here and i was being an asshole about this "rock band" game. i watch my nieces kids play this game and they have asked me several times to join in, i can't play a chunk of plastic parts. i need the real thing. piano, drums, guitar or bass, whatever. when the kids are done, they switch over the channel to 80's rock, because the youngest one likes the music from all the games he plays. ok, go that route.

[theratfarmer]

put your star dust aside kid, for now. there are 250,000 people just like you. this is no game. so.. what are you telling me? i don't know, you tell me and us.

[jrbostonrocks]

In my opinion the best and most creative rock band from the classic rock era! Not slamming bands like Zeppelin or anything. There sound has never been matched, I think if all the law suites didnt take place they could have been even bigger!

[ravensfan997]

great song

[tacosalad98]

I always thought the design concepts a cool trip, massive guitar shapes ships 3 times the size of cities. They would've blew Independance Day's ships away lol.

They coulda made some cool animation videos back then.

[xboxdude17]

Im only 16, and obvisouly didn't grow up around this music, but to tell ya the truth,this is my favorite band, and is the only band Iknow of that has songs that never get annoying to me.

[TheAdmiester]

Has anyone tried to connect this to Don't Look Back?

I'm sure that they connect, considering DLB ends the same way this starts. I tried to edit them together in Audacity but there was always a 'click' when it changed to The Journey, I gave up after a while :(

[R500SCANIAV8]

You are quite right. DLB is the first song foalting right into journey which flows into it´s easy!

[eddievhfan1984]

@TheAdmiester You try crossfading them?

[MrEvolution513]

Thanx for posting...2nd album I ever had, got it for Christmas '78. People who praise the old days and say how everything sucks today need to remember what it was like to be a huge music fan back then...I had nvr heard of or saw a used record store til '83. A new album in Mich came to $7.27 w/ the 4% sales tax at the time. A kid working at McD's for $3.10 min wage worked nearly 3 hrs to buy it. The much-desired Kiss Alive II,TNT's Double Gonzo & Zep Phy Grf....$14.55, That's like $45 now

[davebeal65]

Send me to the grave with these 6 albums

Boston- Don't Look Back

Aerosmith Night in the Ruts

Rush - Moving Pictures

The Police - Regatta de Blanc

U2 - Under Blood Red Sky

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood Throw in a guitar and and a couple of drumsticks and I'll see ya there.

[francky101]

rush is the shit! their from toronto canada! but litledevel15 your kinda right acdc isint that great all the song looks too much the same and its kinda getting anoying

[litledevel15]

I mainly got hooked on rock n roll when I bought guitar hero 2 about 3 years ago, just becasue of that, I know a decent amount of information on rock n roll. Now I listen to most 70's rock. My favorite bands that I absolutly love are Rush (saw them live last year), Heart, and Boston. they all have my rock n roll heros, Geddy Lee, Nancy and Anne Wilson, Roger Fisher, then Brad Delp and Tom Scholz

[cmdtower777]

Dude, that's awesome. I'll recommend some more for your rock n roll education.

Led Zep - Everything

Pink Floyd - Everything from Dark side on.

King Crimson - Red, Larks Tongues.

Black Sabbath - First two albums are a must.

AC/DC - Everything

GNR - Appetite for Destruction

Iron Maiden - Killers Album.

There are tons more from days of yore. But the above are required curricula.

CMD

[litledevel15]

I agree with the first four, my favorite song from zep is probably dazed and confused, or achilles in the land. Pink floyd is beast, david gilmour and roger waters make an absolute great duo, favorite song by them is Time and Money, gilmour has a nice a clear sound in those songs especially in Time, King crimson is good I've only listened to elephant talk by them, which is a funny and great song, and black sabbath is awsome, Tony Iommi is such a great guitarist, favorite song by them is NIB.

[merman08]

oh yea I forgot everything that the who came out with

[skitfel]

@litledevel15 achilles in the land? lol its achilles last stand

[litledevel15]

I ran out of space in my other comment, but the rest I don't really care for. AC/DC was ok, For those about to rock and a long way to the top were probably my favorite just because it didn't sound like every other song they did. GNR annoys the hell out of me, axl's voice is terrible I can't stand it, slash was ok at guitar but when you listen to AFD is sounded all the same. Duff Mckagen was good though. and I don't really care for Iron Maiden that much, Trooper is alright but its whatever

[jgdesign]

Those are fantastic selections, but lets not forget: Van Halen - the first four albums (with Dave) Queen - Day at the Races & Night at the Opera Deep Purple - Machinehead Journey - Evolution and Infinity albums Cheap Trick - Dream Police and Heaven Tonight albums Def Leppard - High & Dry album Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out at Night album Kansas - Leftoverture (and almost any other album of theirs from the 70's) Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo Triumph - Allied Forces

[cmdtower777]

Yup. Those are all good. However, in my opinion they are not unique innovators. The reason why I listed Iron Maiden - Killers (influenced by Hendrix) is that it contains a unique blend of Punk Metal that set the stage for the 80s, perhaps more so than Van Halen which borrowed from ZZ top and Led Zep. They had a diff singer which was rad. I also didn't mention the Beatles, who directly influenced Boston nor Hendrix. The bands I listed all pioneered a signature form of sound.

[jgdesign]

I didn't realize that your list was determined by that criteria. I would gave to argue then that Queen, Edgar Winter and Kansas were indeed unique innovators. They may not have created a genre, but their uniqueness was in the use of other types of music (and instruments) brought into rock music. With The albums I mentioned are definitely worth a listen by anyone who wants to become more familiar with the great classic rock of the 60's, 70's and early 80's. All landmark and signature albums.

[litledevel15]

Yeah I listen to most of them, Van halen was so amazing with Dave, Panama, Ice Cream Man, Beautiful Girls, and Unchained.Queen was so good, after the 70's they horrible though with the whole Bites the Dust shit. Deep Purple is really good, Glen Hughs and Ritchie Blackmore. Triumph reminds me of Rush because they're also a three person band from Canada lol, tred Nugent is crazy by himself and when he was is Damn Yankee. Cheap trick I like too, really good musicians out there:)

[dnt4get2takeabreath]

another one bites the dust is AWESOME!

[litledevel15]

@dnt4get2takeabreath

No it's NOT!! it's simple bassline for the entire song

[eddievhfan1984]

Don't forget Meddle.

[jgdesign]

You can't forget Rush with their live album Exit Stage Left and their studio album Moving Pictures. Absolute greatness.

[merman08]

some more would be Jethro Tull, Judas Priest (the british steel album) Motorhead(ace of spades) Fleetwood Mac (Rumors), anything from Aerosmith is great, Ozzy Osborne (their first two albums cause randy rhoades was a amazing guitarist) the first four Metallica albums, Motley Crue would be some more to consider

[starwars21]

I've always loved this song. It always got overlooked in airplay and in concert.

[jeffrey1552]

omfg the intro from the journey is so cool my died uncle really loved it :)

[nywilf]

I saw Boston on the very first tour...1977 at The Palace Theatre in Albany NY ....they had to do cover songs to make it whole show....Long time is Burned in my Brain from that show Tom's Gold sparkeld Chuck Taylors were unforgettable....AHH the good ole days!!

[coopmister00]

love this song!!! people just don't make music like this anymore i wish i was alive during the 80s :'''(

[ascender555]

Thank God for the Rock Band game..it does nothing to help anybody learn how to actually play an instrument, but it at least has introduced younger folks to some of the kick-ass rock music their generation, for the most part, has been sadly deprived of.

[link4ever7]

i totally agree and i'm from this generation

[Naruto8754]

Same, Rock Band made me hate this generation and go all classic

[acalora123]

I agree, guitar hero and rock band have greatly changed my musical interests for the better.

[kirastanza]

@ascender555 Hey man, Rock band taught me how to play the basics of the Bass, now I'm a great musician. And it taught my friend how to play drums. Once you get to ezpert mode you can begin to learn the actually instrument and for some can be a great bridge to stardom.

[coopmister00]

@ascender555 It does now!! XD

and thanks to rockband im playin the drums now, and not just guitar

[AuthSeller]

@ascender555 I agree, but now it's gotten even better.

with rock band 3 it actually teaches people how to play the actual instrument, they use real guitars/(2-Octave)Keyboards, idk about the drums but it's gotten pretty advanced.

hoping to get hold of that game so i can learn some queen or something on piano :P

[Fokkywokky]

the sole reason i got into boston was via the rock band game. i downloaded the songs from the 'boston' album and i was hooked. now i'm slowly building up a collection of all their work.

they rock...

[safruik]

i may be too young to have seen boston live but there one my absolute favorite bands. all the good rock bands came from back then.

[altell12]

I had the great privelege to see Boston in 1995. Brad had moved on but joined for this show I went to. It was my birthday and hearing and actually seeing them dang near brought tears to my eyes. (I don't care if that makes me a sissy)

[slycoopers]

It just isn't Boston without Brad Delp! And with him being there at that concert in 95' when you went lol man I don't blame you for almost crying.

[hocyouthguy]

i hear you loud and clear. i saw them in irvine that tour. indescribable!!

[jrbostonrocks]

@altell12 Boston is just that great and powerful of a band! I envy you!

[PSNJunior3000]

@altell12 You lucky bastard

[TheTC]

Wow, the studio version is so much better. I always thought this was just a live intro for More than a feeling.

[karribd307]

Boston is so cool, because they exploded out of no where in 76 with a sound no one else had and hasn't since, plus the the vocals of the best lead singer in Rock, the first three cd's, if you listen good, it is Brad's voice alone you hear on lead and all the back ground vocals, depending on the song, he sings 4 to 6 parts. Pretty freakin' amazing to me and he sounds fabulous. That's why!

[BOSTONROCKS62]

WHY IS BOSTON SO COOL?

[billythehoople]

COZ THEY JUST FUCKING R, keep listening 2 them an all wil b revealed, B

[Jordingo]

Yes, this album was as good as the first and some parts are even better. Some are worse but some are, actually, better. Production was better on this album than the first and better than any other album that came after it too. By production I mean the quality of the recording. Now that's sad.

[kyoto5]

Boston is the best! This second album was just as good as the first!

[Tmainly]

I love this song
