It's "Classical Gas" for us keyboardists. In fact, those two tunes are so very much in the same league that I had to compare dates: Mason Williams wins! Classical Gas came out in 1968!!! Foreplay came out in 1976. I wouldn't want to live in a world without either one of those tunes though. They are both SO INSPIRED!! I also put "Dust In the Wind" in that same category-1977!! Rockers always think they're so ahead of their time. They're actually always lagging by at least 8 years-usually by centuries. In fact, rappers are slow too. They should know that John Skelton was rapping in England back in the 1500s. Rappers' ancestors in the sub-Sahara back then hadn't yet been taught what a wheel was and what it was good for.
Hi, I'm a 71 age guy and I'm happy that you took the time and uploaded this piece for the whole world to see and hear. Keep up the good work....Mickbow
Matt - you just rocked me to the core .. I think I had an eargasm !! I just brought home my dream, a pristine Hammond A102 .. and this was the first song I searched for and yours the first hit. I'm turning 54 and haven't touched a keyboard or read any music for that matter since 1980 but its always been the Hammond sound all these years my ears yearn for - from Santana to ELP .. all the heavy-hammond prog bands .. then discovering Jimmy Smith about 15 years ago and following that whole route .. Your MOST EXCELLENT Video is like Mana from Heaven. Seriously .. thank you for this and all your vids. I'm watching (about the 10th time) - and actually PLAYING AGAIN !! Thanks to you Alan W
Woooooowww!!! I have been listening to your music for hours and it is impressive how majestic your music sounds, thanks for sharing, greetings from CHILE
Incredible. You sound just like the original. Whenever I see something like this, isolated from the mix, I think Man, whoever played that on the recording is an excellent musician. ...and you sound every bit as good!! I didn't even know it was that elaborate.
What takes so long in learning this if you haven't been playing for a thousand years is building up the strength in your right hand to keep that trill going
+Moses Bullrush What is your source for this 'information', please?> What date was the relevant info released, please? I am not suggesting that I am more well-educated than you...just want to know where you are coming from, and who the fuck you are? WHAT do you base your list on???
+Moses Bullrush I am guessing that there is a huge disparity between your IQ and mine, that is for certain. One us appears to be in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent Have a nice day
Fretless99 Repeating what I have already said: "For over a century the IQ of people in every country has been intensively studied and thousands of international IQ surveys have been averaged out to give reliable IQ figures for each country and region where racial concentrations occur. The scientific fact of racial inherited intelligence is not denied by any researcher and genetic admixture through racial interbreeding creates increased IQ which prove races are not the a 'social construt' described by Marxist liars who promote race mixing to dumb down their European competitors. The racial correlation with IQ has been confirmed by EVERY study which has EVER been published." The fact that you are surprised to see information which has been actively developed by thousands of published researchers over the course of a century, shows that you have zero knowledge on this subject, but your ignorance does not stop you arrogantly presuming to the greater brain which renders opponets as defensless as unarmed combatants. You obviously believe that your 'beliefs' are more reliable than the actual knowlege of actual researchers. You display no intention to research this subject so I will leave you to continue your false belief that your natural superiority leaves you with no need of actual knowledge. May your ignorance continue to give you the bliss you desire.
Looking at the location Power Switches, the Organ is earlier than a B-3, either a B/C-2 (could distinguish if Vibrato Tabs were visible on Left Side) or B/C-V (Lone Vibrato Knob/Chorus Toggle, Left Side) or even Something Pre-WWII (Tremulant Rheostat, Left Side).
Matt great the playing is totally awesome. My neck skull is now permanently at a 45 degree angle from this great video! this has always been the ultimate challenge for me to figure out. I May have to settle for my best rendition time will tell. Thanks for the video!
I was trying to find a different song, but found this. I've heard it a million times, but you did a very good job with it. I am so glad. Nice job, dude
he went wrong in a lot of places here. It's certainly not close to the actual transcribed version but it's very well done, nonetheless. ;-) . th-cam.com/video/bCaoffl55tU/w-d-xo.html
No, that's right. Lots of time and will must be sacrificed to master a difficult discipline. You must sacrifice your arms and everything else, to a degree.
just watched in .5 speed to help my learn it myself and wow your timing is spot on. great job. trying slightly different fingering for the intro for myself
to Christian: Matt's Hammond, IIRC, is a BC to which he added percussion and performed his own chop job. He has plenty of clav sounds in his Vintage Keys module as well, I think. He has a tour of his rig if you search for YES tribute bands or Going For The One which is the name of his tribute group. He has a 70's vintage Mini Moog D as well. Nice rig. Combination of analog and digital. Great keyboardist. That's coming from a fellow pro player. :-)
Ah!!👍👍 thanx for sorting this out!! My brain is’nt fast enough to figure out what he’s playing in the end of the fast runs. It’s sound unlogic to my brain. Now i can hear and understand!😅👍👍
Tom Scholz is an absolute musical genius.
That's my favorite part of the entire song. It's so beautiful, I'm crying right now and I don't even cry at funerals

I would love to play this ,sounds like there was some classical training involved im just a self-taught TH-camr having fun but this is great stuff
Favorite part of the complete album
@@ginopini8503 Tom Scholz was a classicly trained pianist as a child. He's just a brilliant, brilliant man.
@@bwdrums1 Hey did you ever hear Easy Livin by early 70's band Uriah Heep,every time I hear it it reminds me of Smokin
My favorite song from Boston....played flawlessly to perfection. Nice finger work on the Hammond, Matt.....Excellent.
2:00 ahhhhh that note sounds just like the record. Great timing on your playing.
U must hear Lexington Lab Band's cover of "Longtime" to hear it all put 2gether - Pro!
Team up and make a cover already :)
Best note of the band's entire discography
Hi, I'm a 71 age guy and I'm happy that you took the time and uploaded this piece for the whole world to see and hear. Keep up the good work....Mickbow
you scared the piss out of me in the beginning popping up suddenly xD AMAZING playing i wish i could play this good haha
I can't even play "Chopsticks" and found this utterly fascinating. Phenomenal!
Thanks Matt that was one of the greatest Organ songs I have ever heard
Tom must have had some special sauce for that lower register piano stuff. I've never heard it duplicated perfectly.
whew.... im back in the 70s.... and loving and missing it... thanks Matt!!!!!!
Listened to this several times. Nicely done. In my head still waiting for the drums.
Mellifluous sounds of the organ, it's just full of universal buzz!!!... Thank you, wizard!!!...
Pure talent
Wellp...now that I've finally learned the keyboard solo to "The Cinema Show", I guess this will be my next lesson!
Karn evil 9 is next
many many thanks. I love this song since ive heard it in 1977 but at this time it was impossible for me to find all notes. Now i ll work on it. Great

Thank you 🙏
Blows me away still Matt, so glad to watch this again and to meet you thru TH-cam and Facebook. Cheers, Robert
I'm going to try learning this so i can play it for my dad. We both love Boston. Thank you Matt, you're amazing.
watchin this 8 months later...still impresses the fk outa me Matt ;)
Thanks John!
Incredible. You sound just like the original. Whenever I see something like this, isolated from the mix, I think Man, whoever played that on the recording is an excellent musician. ...and you sound every bit as good!! I didn't even know it was that elaborate.
In fact, musician & writer Tom Scholz played this and all guitar tracks on the recording. Phenomenally talented artist, indeed!
Coupydog Barry Goudreau played the guitar solos on this one, one of very few Tom didn’t do...
I always thought it was Tom on guitar during “Foreplay” and Barry on guitar during “Long Time”.
Tom actually wrote the whole album and then hired singer then the rest followed
0:52 completely overlooked the arpeggio
Great Job Matt. I found myself adding all the other tracks down in my head when I listened.
Love that !!! Mesmerizing to watch you perform this amazing song. You are a master !
it's the best Foreplay cover I ever heard
I smiled throughout the whole video but at 2:00... That note hits me in the heart. Great playing man! Congratulations! ❤
I started learning piano because of this video of few years back
Good!
Jump scared me when you popped up in the beginning lol
Absolutely Fantastic
this is great hearing you play and kind of you to teach it to everyone else. thank you!
That was FANTASTIC! Absolutely spot on! As if Tom Scholz himself was performing it. Well done!
love it..! used to play this live in one of my club bands, VERY fun song to play on the drums..!
This amazes the hell out of me!!! So perfectly executed! Thank you!!!
Wow Matt awesome
What takes so long in learning this if you haven't been playing for a thousand years is building up the strength in your right hand to keep that trill going
FANTASTIC!
One single ass hair of this guy worth more than the entire scum of (c)rap (s)hit hop techno alternative punk grunge and assorted CRAP!

An incredible cover of the coolest organ intro.
Wow Matt! I really enjoyed this immensely.
Beautiful.
great job Matt, because of you I will be playing this with my band :) Thank you!
This was outstanding!!!!!!!!
Fantastic. Very helpful.
Very nice sounding, and well recorded rig.
I can almost smell generator oil, and vacuum tubes.
Thanks.

Great job and nice to see it slowed down. Thanks.
wow. tom scholtz is a genius!
I was trying to find a different song, but found this. I've heard it a million times, but you did a very good job with it. I am so glad. Nice job, dude
Love this so much!
Before being a pro wrestler MAtt Riddle was a sick organ player
Love this
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!
I used to play that back in the 80's. And this being a 10 performance, mine was about a 4. Great job, thanks for the video!
Very well done sir! Amazing!
You play that very well. So many cannot even hear where they go wrong. Great job! Thx!!!
he went wrong in a lot of places here. It's certainly not close to the actual transcribed version but it's very well done, nonetheless. ;-) . th-cam.com/video/bCaoffl55tU/w-d-xo.html
2:37 Sounds awesome Matt. Incredible dexterity! Timing is spot on.
Amazing job Matt. Your sound, your technique. Masterfully done! Bravo!
beautiful piece of music. Thanks for showing us how to play it.
th-cam.com/video/bCaoffl55tU/w-d-xo.html
Awesome.
Spectacular!
Beautifully done, sir.
That’s some tricky piece, played brilliantly, both hands doing different timings... nice!
over the top awesomeness!
I'd give my right arm to be able to play like that!!!!! .....wait a minute!!
No, that's right. Lots of time and will must be sacrificed to master a difficult discipline. You must sacrifice your arms and everything else, to a degree.
Off the chart Matt !! Great job my friend. 😎
Holy moses!!!! Thats effin awsum to say the least!!!
Thank you sooooo much! Still learning it but this was a great help!
Wow, this is great. Thanks for breaking it down so well!
Man the slow part sounds like a whole new song itself its amazing! good video thanks for it!
Thank you for this
Man this is awesome
just watched in .5 speed to help my learn it myself and wow your timing is spot on. great job. trying slightly different fingering for the intro for myself
That was a thing of beauty. Thanks.
The song is truly a masterpiece
Thank you Matt
Great playing and your organ sounds fantastic!
It's even more beautiful at 1/2 tempo! You are indeed an impressive player!
AWESOME.

Nice work awesome tone and playing. Sounds like the original 😎👍
I've played this for over 30 years. You are better. *nod of respect*
Sensacional! Grande aula!
So Matt, where can I sell my soul to play like you?
In your soul. If you truly have the desire, you will sacrifice part of your life to accomplish a professional level of skill in a difficult medium.
@@JLowry-dm3qw I think he will have to go to the "CROSSROADS"
Practice
