Listening was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1960s.
The band released one self-titled album on the Vanguard label and one non-LP promo single.
The group is famous for its ambiguous song lyrics, sometimes related to marijuana and psychedelic acid trips.
The band's approach had a great impact in the period and helped define the Bosstown Sound.
Bassist Walter Powers had previously played with the Lost and ended up in Boston punk groups until the 1970s.
