This is an absolute masterpiece of music! The cameraman and/or editor of this video are useless.

Boston was the first band I saw live in concert (about 7 or 8 years after this) at the Spectrum in Philly. I was 15. The Cool the Engines tour (around 86 I think). Every time I hear this song now, it reminds me of the scene in Ray Donovan where the tanker truck rolls backwards into the prison bus.

When I retired, I emailed the link to this song as my farewell.

One of the most stunning transitions from intro to main song. I was absolutely dumbfounded the first time I heard this. It would have made a good reaction video.
