Boston - Foreplay / Long Time (Official Audio) 

GWAR did a cover of this intro when they also covered 'If You Want Blood' from AC/DC. It was unexpected and glorious.

Yeah, salute to the fans from all over the world, I'm listening to Boston in Brazil! 🙌❤🇧🇷

Thank you sir! You are who deserves the credit for being a fan for such a LONG TIME!

It is exactly that! A masterpiece!

It’s crazy that a small group of friends started up a band and became so legendary.

They and Kansas, the greatest clasic Rock bands.

Yes we can

Motion carried, unopposed here.

That is absolutely right !!

Absolutely agree!

Салют дружище, я так же от Пушного, земля круглая 🎉🎉🎉😅

По той же причине сюда пришел) Дядя Саша до сих пор открывает что то новенькое для меня)

Ёмаё, сколько нас?

Ничего себе!!! Я думал я один такой)))Кстати я благодаря этой песне вообще здесь. Он в коротком видео включил эту песню и там еще говорил что тут партия клавиш тяжелая. Мне очень понравилась песня и я решил ради интереса послушать, и в итоге действительно, первый альбом , очень классный; да и группа в общем отличная))

@@Oleg-mw8rr мне кажется эти ребята инопланетяне. Люди не могли такую написать музыку. Но вот вокал усилить и отвал башки

Man was a friggin musical genius. Bought his book about the effect pedals he would make, never got one finished but was amazed. One of the best rock guitar sounds ever.

To Matt 1296, Today, the MIT engineer would read our minds, insert chips, and bot the production.

...along with building all the ROCKMAN amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and guitar processor units that influenced some of the best musicians and bands on the planet (see Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Def Leppard etc.) Tom Scholz was way ahead of the times in the late 60's 70's and 80's with guitar sound and studio wizardry. Incredible production on these albums. like no other. Lead singer Brad Delp had an elite angelic tenor voice that floored everyone. Only a few could match his ability to reach the high-rafter notes and stay in perfect pitch. All vocals (including background and beautiful harmonies) were done by this amazing talented soul. Scholz and Delp were the perfect combination when it came to creating this truly inspired music together...

What a genius. Still hard to comprehend sometimes!

I love

I heard that!

Best comment ever. long live rock n roll.

I here that brother!!!!

Hope I in next room

Todd 🤣😆

LOL....well said

@@mamabear6710 : so I see you're a classic rock fan....

Greg I am.. I watched the Beatles debut on Ed Sullivan .. I was a old lady of 12 lol..but my picture is current

I crank this one way up to where the house shakes. Forget those tech speakers you hold in your hand today. There's no substitute for those huge 3-way speakers that bring the rafters down on your head and cause a minor earthquake.

Takes me back to that time in my life. :)

Two words: Jenson Triaxial’s!

I'm 55 and I've had this album since I was 17

How many of you had this in 8 track?

I'm 14 and I'm going to be picking up the cassette pretty soon. Boston rocks!

you are so lucky to have a friend thats still with you i feel you he is not passed he lives through you

thanks for your kindness

So sorry about your loss

thank you

RIP Darryl. Keep in mind that he lives on in immortal music!

I turned 61 in March and I totally understand, happy birthday brother 🙂

62 today! And I needed to hear Boston today!

Just thinking the same thing!

Such a huge inspiration to my drumming career.

60 here & hearing this makes me feel 20 again! Music is timeless!

Hast recht ......das wsr meine erste Platte ......geil .. ❤

I young but knew good music Iim listening to today pass it on

What we get when sound engineers make an album😊

I wore out two 8 tracks of this album before CD's came out.

I’m 67 now and I still listen to it…what a great time it was back then.

They did a remaster in the 90's.

I dunno, it sounds like it was recorded in some guys basement to me...

@@devincallahan9444 Like what you did there, chief 👏🏻

@@devincallahan9444 Ha Ha. Good one, dude. Wonder how many of these kids' heads that one will fly over?

It was featured in a new movie called boss level

@ d barker I agree with you

It’s funny we share the same the last name

@@michaelbarker9079 😎👍

Looking over at your girl in her sunglasses smiling...hair in the wind. Take me away from this rock Boston...no doubt.

Ok so I’m not the only one who thinks this

They give you foreplay long time 🤣

Brad forever

Such a shame, the way he took himself out !!!😢

He will never be forgotten and to think they could replace his vocals with two men, they don’t come close to Brads vocals!

New generations will hopefully discover Brad & Boston albums.

Agrrrreeeeeee!!!!!

This is great lmao

Haha nice one

Very original!

Hahahhh..good one🙌

@@roryteal5940 I see it also.. She did well, don't you think? Clever girl. Lol😂

Don't most rock songs still rock today?

i love this ❤️ forever...

Tom wrote the fucking song in 69 so it's really like 51

Oh crap I'm old. But this brings back memories! Rock on!!

Yep playing with surround sound, on big screen now. Lol. From l.p. to today's tec. 😁🎧🔊

😂😂😂

LMAO 🤣 Love it!! Apparently they wanted it LOUDER!!!!!! I heard that!!!! 🗣️🎤🤣💃💗💃💗🥰🥰🥰🥁🎛️📻💽

Good one!

😂😂😂

That was me dude sorry, but it kinda was your fault that your speakers weren't loud enough.

thay didn't play the records co game ..... should still be there tho.

Wow didn't know they were not in . In my book one of leaders of the late 70s rock era

Very true. Madonna and Run DMC are in hall of fame but no Boston or Ted Nugent shows the Hall has become irrelevant

I could not believe it - but it's true. Boston is not in there! They put out the greatest 1st album of all time, with cuts still in heavy rotation, but no hall of fame? Look, every body loves Dolly Parton - she is a genius performer, a leader and a good person - but she's no rocker - but she's in the Hall of Fame (over her very principled objections - like I said, she's a good person.)

And Sheryl Crow is!! Sacrilege!!!

True to the title.

WCMF ROCHESTER NY PLAYS ALL THE CLASSIC ROCK ! BRINGS BACK THE DAYS OF CARS GIRLS AND WEEKEND BONFIRES !

Yes indeed man... loving it now!❤

@@jerryhand8538 All Rochester mainstream radio has had the same playlist of about 300 songs ...for the past 40yrs. The music Became classic (over 25yro) while they played the shit out of a few baked tunes. Merely another nauseating ad platform ... ...I actually dislike my favorite bands now.

​@@rascalferretyep! I remember seeing an interview with Jim Morrison from The Doors talking about even in the 1960s the radio played the same top 40 hits over and over and over again just bashing the same songs into your mind to where you either hate it or you cant get the songs out of your head. I liked when radio djs were the tastemakers and could play new stuff, old stuff, deep tracks and you could hear a song you've never heard before and obsess on finding out who the band and the name of the song was!

Same age as you. Could not have put it better myself.

im 64 im with you guys

Amen !

Im 63 now and this song still kicks ass and gives me goose bumps

True 👍 😁 shit

You know it!✌😎🤘

Here

June 1st 2024

Rocking out today!

Helps.

Why do you say that? It must be true though!

​@@GamePlayWithNolanчаво

Love ur comment.!! & ABSOLUTELY... It is TRUE..!!🎶👍💕

He was awesome ❤️

& dats sayin alot 😎

One of the all time great jams.this song has it all

Yes, it's one of the best band assembled. This album solidify the argument.

Salute to Mr Delp for singing it.

I will let him know 👍

For sure it is a masterpiece. But the birther of the band also killed it ever so slowly. Very very slowly. Maybe read the backstory.

@@jpriker2992 and unfortunately he committed suicide. All of his works are absolutely amazing! A terrible loss for the musical community

Sure it is! Tom Scholz is a humble music genius. First Boston album he played and recorded mostly himself on multiple instruments (except vocals)

ROCK ON!!

Great Advice

YES, IT DUZ....

You just made NY night sweetheart!

73 here, and I'm still lovin' it too. Great stuff!

70 and yes absolutely ❤

But it's hard to come by

@@nobody6032 so it's rare, common ground💗

Rock at its best

Detto2

I always skip the intro lol

He invented his pro tools. Some have never been recreated.

Tom innovated the technology that is still being used today MIT graduate

Had no idea wow . Thanks

Minor nitpick: about the only thing Tom Scholz didn't do was the vocals. But that was probably a good thing -- there will never be another Brad Delp. Nobody before or since has had the ability to maintain full power (i.e., without going falsetto) as high as Brad Delp could. Even Freddie Mercury couldn't go that high at full power.

AND in his spare time, he had a day job too.

Mentorship. Our parents help form our clay vessels. Keep the search alive. There is soooo much awesome music to find, from many eras.

I'm 52 and my oldest daughter is 30 she loves all these classic rock bands bc I overplayed them when she was a kid lol now her kiddos are 9 and I also have younger kids now too and they all love Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zep, James Taylor and all my old faves!!

Ain't nothing wrong with having some class

👍👊I saw Zeppelin in concert back in 1977 at the Kingdom in Seattle.I do remember some of it.🚬🚬🚬😂

My son just turned 26… he listens to this kinda stuff too!!! Tell yer folks I said they did a great job raising you!!!

I turned 19 that year, too. It really has been such a long time now.

19 in '76 as well. What a great time for music. These songs will always stand the test of time.

Uhhhh! I’m jealous!

i was 14 years sorry because my english im german but boston is for me the best rock band for ever and my favorite band for ever this music is firstclass i have feeling and power by boston i like too the british rock band deep purple but nummber 1 is boston for me i hope you understand my bad english i speak not better by the way i have too many lps by boston my favorite songs are long time more than a feeling and beautyfulls songs are what s your name and i need you löve io wish all the best and have much fun by boston take care

I'm the same age and saw them 3 times 1st MSG 2nd Nassau Colliseum 3rd Giants Stadium. 3rd was the best. even with the Thunder storm.

oh my god you just changed everything for me

They're guitar-ships leaving an exploding Earth, so they're not UFOs (anymore)!

😳😳😳

WOW thanks for pointing that out, never saw that !

LOL. I am 50 y old. Didn't see that until now.

Nothing against Dolly but true that

tragedy not travesty 😏

That’s bad! So bad.

They had one good album dude. One.

Dude, they had 1 great album and 2 good albums; Boston 17 million sold, Don’t Look Back 7 million sold and Thrid Stage 4 million sold.

Yes, yes you are!! The LOUDER the better!!!! Ear drums?? I don't need no stinking ear drums!!!!!!

You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO right :)

Yes

You nailed it

Absoutly!

Not possibly...It is!!!!!❤😂

One of the best for sure. Maybe the only other one I'd have in there is the Pretenders debut album.

The Cars also

Them, Van Halen 1, and Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction

Perfect alto pitch

This album came out when I was a child, but I was very fortunate to have seen them on the Third Stage tour. Remarkable band!

I WISH I WAS THERE

the best there is. this is 45 year old amazing music. that Hammond organ gets me every time. Amazing production from a basement in MA. Genius rock. Tom Scholz is a master of sound engineering. He probably didn't know it at the time. Now he does.

Yeah, this is rock, not the crap and shit from lady goga or katy perras, bubble gum lollipop crap music.

My first rock cassette was Boston in 1987 not a big deal to some of you guys but being from the hood and Black a big deal my top rock group of ALL TIME

@@antionevirdree1429 Mr. Antoine, I'm my gang, if you were cool, we didn't give a rats ass what color, religion, if you had money or not, if you were cool, you were in. I guess the 60s were the influence of not being like our parents came from. My father was a closet kkk and tried his damnedest to make me a hater too. Nope, did not work. I cannot wait, and hope to live long enough to see my youngest grandson graduate high school and for people to understand it's not your color, it's your character. Just know, we would have hung out with you and we woulda had a blast doin it! Blessings brother🤘💙😎

Thank You God!

Richard Marques Thats so cool I didn't notice that either

Richard Marques obvious but easy to miss--the guitars that Is?!

All my life Ive loved this band and never noticed it dude thats awesome

Richard Marques i think everyone knows that just saying

Allen Saunders Haha, never had noticed!

Right on👊❗️

Kann man nur,laut hören .❤

I'm 26 thanking my 51 year old dad for listening to these classics.

I'm 26 thanking my 51 year old dad for listening to these classics.

I'm a 20 year old guitar player thanking myself for discovering this great music on my own

I'm 26 thanking myself for listening to some great artists

It's much nicer than most rap and hip hop. :)

What's the problem with synthesizers? There's really not much of a difference between an analog synthesizer and a Hammond organ. One uses an oscillator to produce the sound and the other a "tone generator".

@@Relayer6a Nothing wrong with them at all.. I'm actually a big fan of the ARP 2600 that was starting to catch on when this album was made. I was just pointing out that there was none on the album.

I sure know exactly how he never slept. Scholz was a mastermind of sound engineering hands down. I'm sure he was laying in bed and dozing off and said wait, I going to go tweak a couple tracks. Genius music and Brad Delp is the best singer I have ever heard in my life. This is 45 year old music friends. It will live on long after I'm gone for sure.

@@samdrye8067 for sure, this song is AWESOME. this is first time i ever heard it (im a millennial). major respect to all the sound engineers in history who have constantly pushed the boundaries of what music production is capable of

That would take an incredible amount of audio engineering talent and effort. The mastering is . . . masterful!

The drums coming in too!

Yes!! Close my eyes, turn it all the way up & melt back into the memories!! ❤️😎

The lead guitar solo you hear on Long Time is 100% Barry not Tom. Barry plays electric rhythm on Foreplay. Fran plays bass on Foreplay. Barry plays electric rhythm and lead on Longtime. The huge power chords on Long Time are Barry too.

Same here buddy takes me back to when I was a kid in the 90s and the family jamming to Boston at all the barbecues

I’ve done a lot of acid to this band lol

Saw them live on their first tour! Incredible!

NICE 🖒🎸🎶

We saw them at a venue a couple of years ago and Tom came out before the rest of the band to do a solid check on his guitars it was pretty crazy 💖‼️

Judas Priest is another one of those rare live/studio sounds of solid greatness.

Detto!

Tattoo on my soul. Absolutely!

I have depression and my husband just died. When I listen to this song I am in another world 🌍

@@sandybell2743 So sorry Sandy. If you get to another world...any other one...please let me know if there are other homes for sale. So feel you.

Yes indeed, the musicianship, instrumentation, the harmonies, arrangement, is freaking phenomenal!😮

Shacklin Jackson agree . The tone and distortion . You just know it’s Boston . I’m 31 and a huge fan of all rock , especially progressive rock and there is no mistaking the tone and chords being strummed as Boston. This album is amazing . If I had been a kid in 1976, this and rushes 2112 wouldn’t have left my record player.

EVH

@@DrGrafenberg I think this and Van Halen first album are pretty close ...I Love both bands I'm 35

Samuel HerMan funny you say that, because those were the first two albums I ever bought

Shacklin Jackson Queen too, Brian May has a super recognizable tone. I would argue Slash from GNR’s tone is easy to place too

Must have been from New York

Because Boston was their EX's favorite band. LOL

Could be due to "Vision Metamorphopsia"

Their wife left them because they haven't done foreplay in a long time.

They're kids who love Rap that's why. They don't know great music.

If anything, today’s Biebers and Katie are super corporate! Perhaps one day, we will have real music again. Thank goodness for RU-vid!

Tbf the first is also the best by far imo. And one of the bests of the 70s for sure.

That was such bull crap. Boston was just Boston. Amazing musicians who also had electronics skills who were all way ahead of their time. RIP Brad and Sib........

I love corporate rock! Name sounds catchy too

Can I get a "OH HELL YES."

☺️

Me too!

❤❤

63, still rocking out

Ja też.poland.1961.

I got my drivers license in 1969, I didn't get my 69 Mach 1 until 1972. Where has time gone!

Man you described it well, and bring those memories back to life... we didn't realize how good we had it compared to current times.. ...well, and being younger with that devil may care attitude was sweet too! ..I hate being old..

@@Phrostbyte007 Summer indeed brings me back to crusing in my 68 Camaro slmmin the gears with Boston blaring on the stero, really didn't know how good I had it!

Change the car to a Ford Galaxie 500 three on the tree klunker with Altec Lansing speakers loaded into the back, cruising over 17 to get to the ocean, and I'm right there with you 🤣😊‼️ Ok, the car was not nearly as cool as yours, but it was boat sized, with a bench front seat and had wing windows 🤣, and made driving other cars easy lol. Plus we could fit myself and a bunch of my sisters in it with our long 70s hair, parted down the middle, and looking hot lol! We would have probably challenged you to race, and, undoubtedly lost, but we would have had great fun doing it. Those were such innocent days. We had more fun just driving around, being seen and heard, than anyone ever has with video games or social media. We were outside, living real life.

What

I'm also 51 I'd bypass all those bands to blast Boston.

I'm 52 but was blessed with 2 older brothers so I got introduced to classics like this at a young age. My oldest brother was a dead head and I remember my other brother locking himself in his room for days listening to "The Wall" when it released. Seven years later I would lock myself in his room and listen to his albums while he was at work. Of course I also listened to Maiden, Metallica etc with my friends. Good times.

A truer comment to this song has never been spoken until now

I’m 54 and my dad use to blast this album when mom wasn’t home 😅

🎯💯

@@opalizard Mine too lol

I do!!

My parents and culture.

Same!! I everyone else was listening to backstreet boys...lol

Right on Christina. Same

it took a long time to see but I was like COOOOOL I want a boston tee shirt nowwwww.

BETTER THAN BLOW BABE🤟🏾👍🏿

Be glad you didn't.. Saw them at Cobo hall in Detroit .. Amazing songs, amazing talent, amazing ( for the time era) sound.. Unfortunately, basically nada for stage presence. Seriously.. the quietest concert ( for crowd response) that I'd ever attended, and I've seen most of the big name 70s' and 80s' acts. I can vividly remember going from Windsor Ontario, over to Detroit, to buy the Album, because it was available there first. Everyone came over to my place, and we played it repeatedly on my stereo. Knew I had to see them in concert. Living in Windsor. Ontario... Pre 911.. It was just a couple of bucks and a ten minute walk from the tunnel bus to Cobo Hall. There's a class of musicians called "studio musicians". Basically, these are musicians who can play anything! And, make it sound amazing!! Boston was like that. They were tight, sounded great, but with the hottest album of the time... They couldn't get Cobo hall off it's collective asses.. I've seem way less talented musicians just 'effin rock the venue, with balls, chutzpah, stage presence.... whatever you wanna call it.. Boston couldn't pull it off.. Not by a long shot. Don't get me wrong.. In an era before "auto tune", and lip syncing, and recorded bits.. They proved that they could cut it live.. They just couldn't get the place off it's collective ass. Not to take away from their musical talent... not at all.. Just... They failed to engage the audience. On the side of my Marshall, there's a sign that only I can see on stage.. It says .." Technical perfection isn't important, passion is.. I need to make you believe" Boston.. in concert, couldn't make anyone "believe".. Maybe they got better at it as the tour went on. But, that was my first hand take on it at Cobo Hall. Underrated playing? For sure.. The double leads on "Hitch a Ride", send chills down my spine to this day.

@@charles09361 Interesting, thanks for sharing! I know exactly what you mean. Only 30 but sometimes there have been shows I saw live and beforehand didn't even care for the music but the band MADE me ;). Energy is everything with live performances. You gotta woo the audience or don't even bother doing live shows.

I saw them twice all us old guys were crying our eyes out remembering our youth! The Gorge in Washington and the White River in Wa!

Athens Ohio 1977.... smokin! @@eddieagnich1875

I graduated in '79 and at the time, Boston was HUGE. All over America. They were not underrated, everybody knew them.

@@bobolson7610 they were huge in Canada as well. Good times.

There's always one a-hole that makes that claim on every video. Today it was you, Melvin.

Yeeeessss!!!

In my experience, EVERYBODY knew Boston!! Not underrated as far as I could tell!

And don’t get me started on shittty rap music 💩 Keep on rocking!!!

I’d argue Van Halen’s first album was another one of those albums but I’d still take Boston’s first album

The Cars.

@@KittyGrizGrizAgree as the Cars debut album is phenomenal 👌

That is so awesome. You'll always have a piece of his soul whenever you hear this. Love it!

Yes we did see it at the Forest City community church Christmas Concert 2017

340rps that would be wild

340rps dearly beloved... BOOM :)

I'm hip!

Not to get too technical, but Barry actually played lead guitar on this one, not Tom. 🙂

Spinetingling!!! Purely Kick Ass Boston Baby!!! YES!!!❤😅🎉

@staticsound1422 Actually Tom is playing a Hammond M3 on the first two records not a Hammond B3. The M3 according to Tom allows the player to emphasize a different series of harmonics than the M3 does

Easy to play too..

Barry did the tougher stuff w Boston. Tom was the vision and the control freak.@@steveanderson7536

I listen to boston at least 3 times a week if not more.

That is a fact and Drad did the vocals with no auto tune, imagine that!

And it never will

They're like alien's ❤❤❤ music from other planets

I couldn't of said it any better. Sad to see when you've grown up with such unbelievable artists and today it's manufactured like effn toothpaste.

BLOO

I saw Boston open for Black sabbath in 1977. Best concert ever.

Never sang my favorite song, never was in my top 10 groups , but the greatest album ever made hands down!

Agreed. I was just a yungin when this came out, jamming to this in my mid 40s now.

Thomas Parker an album full of total winners. Start to finish greatness.

Funeral for a FRIEND/LOVES LIES BLEEDING, Sir Elton John is my pick!!! I saw them both in concert! LUCKY ME!;-)

I work 2nd shift and I'm blasting this as well, but I don't necessarily hate my job. It just goes to show that Boston is for everyone and what ever mood your in! Peace love n rock n roll

I agree

A sad but true thought

We have Greta Van Fleet, you should check them out. Start with Highway tune, then fall down the rabbit hole from there

Yes we will but you won't listen to them because they're modern and no good music is being made today right?

Totally agree, don't think it'll happen again!

One of the BEST ever‼️😢

Yeah

Since 1976 and today!

YEP!!!!

Yep

Oyeaaah

And it was one of the few examples of Barry's chops. He killed it.

Juice 730 this is definitely one of them. For sure.

I agree with you Juice. This song is the top 10 ever made.

I would have to totally agree with that kick ass from beginning to end

It might be sir. But to me is It's Easy easily. If that makes any sense.

More than a feeling. Watch the video on RU-vid called what makes this song great more than a feeling It's so much more than I ever knew

This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. God bless. "I'm calling out your name tonight" by Richie Levoi ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSbGGiSe3S8.html
