Rick Beato's intricate breakdowns of songs, music, and techniques is pretty cool.
Boston's first album (1976) in my opinion is a Top 10 of all time. Still nothing sounds like it, never has since. Boston was its own genre. Summer of '77.
Second album (1978) was good as well. I remember the anticipation of this second Boston album, buying it immediately.
That was pretty much the end of Boston (aside from the single, Amanda), on their third album ten years later in 1986.
Interesting that you selected this song as I recall back when my son was only 7 or 8 and just learning about music genres and this song came on my truck radio. As we bopped along to the song, he asked if it was a great song and I told him I thought ut was when I first heard it when I was in Junior High so we decided it was "The Greatest Song Ever!" Apologies to "Freebird" "Stairway to Heaven" & "Let It Be". Jake is graduating from Duke University in May--Wuhan Flu allowing--and we still catch each others eye when this song comes on...MUD
The inimitable Glenn Yarbrough...had to look it up on YouTube, but got to watch/listen to the 2:19 song. Purty cool...might haveta FReep it...lol. Next on tap, though, is to complete my long unfinished "Lib-uh-rulls!! " to be sung to Frank Zappa's "Valley Girls"...my daughter JessieLee, can do that Valley zGirl voice SPOT ON!!
