- Man what a journey this track was! I was not expecting "Foreplay" in the slightest but if were going there we might as well finish so we have "Long Time" as well. Ok, sorry, I had too. This is our first flash request post winner of the week. Thank you Dave S for this awesome pick. These guys rock!

Biggest selling debut album of all time - 16 million copies and counting. The late Brad Delp (suicide in 2007) is on ALL vocals. Huge achievement from Boston.
Unfortunately they were surpassed by Guns&Roses a few years back.
These two cuts are absolutely meant to be played together, you got it right.
And THIS is how you close the first side of your debut album.
When the album first came out, radio stations only played "Long Time" by itself. But as the AOR stations gradually transformed into the "classic rock" stations of the 80s, they started playing "Foreplay" as well, and after that you never heard this without both songs being played together.
Every song is a banger!! Not one bad song on this album
It IS one of the best debuts ever - no need to apologize. You're right!
Mid seventies classic rock. This is it.
Tom invented all his effects on all Boston albums
BOSTON's Debut Album. When the first song (Long Time) hit the airwaves, the record stores could not keep this album on the shelves. Everyone owned this album, everyone knew every song on this album and 4 songs from this album got regular air-time.
Known for being HAPPY GOOD FEELING Music quite a change from other rockers in the day.
This was the very first LP I ever bought. You could hear this album reverberating from every party all summer long during the bicentennial
Almost prog rock. Still Boston's best, still fresh, still fascinating. RIP Brad Delp
my Fav Boston song is Rock & Roll Band. tells a great story and just rocks out.
Brad Delp's voice just carries this song again and shows his versatility when compared to More Than a Feeling.
I love the acoustic guitar riff with the hand claps.... 3 times in the song and the 3rd switches from acoustic to electric. Chefs kiss baby
this opening, to me, is an answer to the groups YES, RUSH and EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER, in that prog rock area. They did it very well, then dropped back into their own lane.
35 years ago, I listened to this on cassette with a walkman when I got to the top of a mountain I was climbing. It was magnificent. It's also a good taking off in an airplane song.
Gonna remember this next trip!!❤
Also, being an electrical engineer from MIT… Scholz designed and built several rack processors and pedals to help him get his sound.
At least one of them, the Rockman… was sold for a Long Time, pun intended. (hey, I’m not only a dad, but a grandfather… so I’m licensed to go full Dad-joke)
The perfect mid 70s band!
All the times I have heard "Foreplay / Long Time" played on the radio they have been played together. Same for Led Zeppelin "Heartbreaker" and "Livin' Lovin' Maid"
This album was tour de force.... I was 16 when this came out. Had my first car and an 8 track player! I've always loved Brad Delp's voice. Those layed, overdubbed vocals are amazing. RIP Brad. To me, this album was Scholz and Delp. They were just fantastic.
Ah, 8 track, but they cut Hitch A Ride in half!
@@richardsteiner8992 I think they did, yes. Happened all the time with 8 tracks....
Still the biggest selling debut album in the US.
I could have sworn that you had reacted to this one. Upvoted it on the flash request. A “no brainer” for a stranded on a deserted island playlist. Thanks Dave S and Lee.😊
Thanks! I love Boston
Check out Smokin'
lol! Boston's first album was one of the most perfect album full of songs as far as rock records go.
Foreplay/Long Time should have been the album opener and always brings to mind Elton John's opener to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.
Thank you Dave S. and Lee! :)
Exactly, Laura.
@@realbser1956 Such good songs on this album! I just realized that I never really listen to it, and I should. :)
@@lauraallen55 Side 2 has some gems, especially the last track “Let Me Take You Home Tonight.”
@@realbser1956 Yes! Such a well-crafted album all round. :)
It helps to understand the times, to appreciate how epic this album was. It came out around the same time as Star Wars, with the same amazing new space age sound. Tom Scholz, being a sound engineer, designed the equipment that turned his guitar and keyboard into something incredibly new. He wrote most of this album in his basement and signed a record deal before even having a complete band.
This is the absolute BEST SONG from Boston!
I was in 7th grade and this was the first album I ever bought. Over 600 albums later, and it's still in the top 5.
This has been my favorite song since I was a very impressionable 12 year old hearing it for the first time in 1976.
Imagine being 14 years old and hearing this for the first time. Wow! I was hooked! I still jam it and I'm 62 years old now. Rock till I drop dead.
This is one of the greatest driving songs of all time. It's one of those songs that make drivers who are normally responsible drivers suddenly start driving 95MPH whenever this song starts playing on the radio in their cars. BTW, I grew up in a city called Lynn, Massachusetts which is about 10 miles north of Boston on the seashore. One of the towns next to Lynn is Swampscott, MA. Several members of Boston lived (still live) in Swampscott. It was so crazy to be a kid and knowing a band from Swampscott released this masterpiece of a debut album. My cousin lives in Swampscott and went to high school with them.
Can you imagine writing your first song, and it comes out this epic? What a legend!
I believe Tom Scholz had a degree in engineering from MIT. That’s how he designed that siren box for the guitar. Dude could literally play anything at a level higher than most people who only play one instrument and you add Brad Delp to vocals and holy SHXT! You got music that once in a lifetime.
Arguably the best debut album ever! Not one bad track on the entire album.
ICONIC
Ear candy all the way through this magnificent debut album! Bradley Delp’s (#RIP)pipes are top 5 in Rock n Roll voices, for me.
They were ahead of their time. And they play the whole thing on the radio.
76 what a year,it was the country’s bicentennial, I turned 21 and a classic rock album straight out of the city where the revolution started. This album started a new revolution in rock music.
One of the greatest albums ever.
Music from my teenage years. What a time to grow up! I was so lucky.
The creme de la creme! One of their best ever! This whole album is exceptional and this album has stood the test of time. Proof of the power of analog in the proper hands. Please do the rest of this historical album!
Mid 70s I was still listening to a.m. pop music. I didn't discover Boston until the mid 80s
What more can I say about this album that has not been said. Every song is fantastic and I could listen to Brad Delp sing all day long. If you want another rocking song off this album, "Peace Of Mind" should be your next listen. And don't forget "Hitch" A Ride" which has a different vibe than the rest of the album with an outro that you never want to end.
and "Smokin"
There is nothing, I mean nothing like the music we grew up with now. What a time to live.
Sib Hasian died of a heart attack while playing on stage. One daughter is named Aja after the Steely Dan album/song, the other is known for marrying The Rock.
RIP Sib💔
This is The Best Debut Album of all time.Every song on it is 🔥
This may very well be the best ever debut and I can't argue against it except to say that Led Zeppelin 1 is right there also. This album and Rumours a year later were in EVERYBODY'S collection.
I don't know who wouldn't love the music, but even haters should love the cover art.
The FM radio guys always played the intro....good time to go have a "smoke" break. Other songs the radio guys liked for that reason were "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" by the Elton John Band and "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"
This album changed guitar tone/production forever in a big big way. Even in the middle of magicians like Gilmour, Page, Blackmore, Frampton, Santana & Perry/Whitfield. Van Halen was still 2 years out.
FOREPLAY turns me into a mad symphony conductor every time, my favorite Boston song.
It is definitely one of the debut albums of all time.
Boston's drummer was in reality great! Back in the 70's there was a movement that required a drummer to "hold back" and let the rest of the band have its day. But live... he was a monster! If you ever doubted his chops, you had to see him live to learn the truth.
BOUGHT THIS WITH MY OWN MONEY FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN IT CAME OUT!!!!
Thanks, Dave! That was a great suggestion! Well done on being a winner on the flash request post :)
@@SnoopySnoops1 thank you!
🔥
Thank you, Dave S. and Lee!
Thank you Lee!
Great one David
Great intro ever!🎸🎶
Thanks Lee for all the hard work and the excellent music. You're greatly appreciated.
I appreciate that bro thank you. I try my best.
Damn is correct.
I got to see Boston 5 or 6 years ago , fantastic concert ! I'm sure it would have been better 30 years ago but , hey , fantastic concert , would definitely see them again! And I don't know what it is , but Boston sounds like they have 20 people in the band , or an orchestra , at least to me , they have a , , full sound to them ! Sounds great !
Oh. Good memories. Driving out to lake with my friends. Played this on one of those old 8-track tapes. Even though it was bad quality, that's all we had in our cars at the time. Such a great, great song from a band that still stands the test of time.
My father spent most nights in the years 93-95 completely drunk and converting Foreplay into a DCI/DCA show. All brass & drums with a field show. In lieu of getting a job, or stop asking his high school some for money, Foreplay was is life. Over and over and over. I wish I was kidding.
Fran Sheehan is awesome with the dance-march across the stage. He did the tours. 'Peace.Of.Mind.' I have never, ever heard Long Time without Foreplay intro in 48 years
Please do HITCH A RIDE by Boston next my favorite ! seen them back in 1977 awesome and so loud my ears rang for a few days, songs sounded just like the LP and he hit every high note !
That song brought some good memories for me, when I was young and studying in college long ago in Kansas City, where I used to live.
I was 20 and lined up when this came out. Dropped the needle on side one track one and only lifted it again to flip it over to side B. It’s one of those albums you listen to from front to back😊
The whole album is flawless
I'm glad you liked the hard rock nature of the latter part of it. And you commented on it but here's that thing about that iconic debut album from boston, there is such a range of material on that album and yet it is such a distinctive sound that the minute you hear it on the radio even if it's brand new you know immediately that it's boston. This album is incredible. It's got the most beautiful ballads but you will also hear them rock at least this hard on a couple other of the songs on the album at least. Definitely the songs Smokin', and, Rock and Roll Band.
You should definitely do Hitching A Ride next. Top Shelf
He should have asked for help. He was one of the greatest. Brad Delp RIP
My (close) favorite song from one of my favorite albums of all time. Hitch A Ride is the other fave. And Peace Of mind. And More Than A Feeling. And...
1976 was a very very good year for music.
Oh we agree with that! 🔥❤️
Taking my my Time , just moving along....harder in 2024, easier at 50 years old......Lee , just keep moving along ❤
One of the greatest rock songs ever written IMO. And THANK YOU for noticing that incredible bass line. Most people I’ve seen don’t notice it at all. Brad was a phenomenal singer and didn’t get as much accolades as he deserved. Thanks for your reaction. 👍😊
Oh and you noticed the change from acoustic to electric on the third strumming part. 👍👍
Peace of Mind is excellent
Whomever came up with that album art should have gotten some kind of award.
Smokin', Hitch a Ride and Rock and Roll Band
Might want to read about the creation of this album. If I recall correctly, it was recorded in Tom’s basement all with electronics that he created.
I've never heard these 2 played separately on the radio. They were always played together. Nice reaction! I recommend you check out "Hitch A Ride" - also from this amazing debut album!
Foreplay is just another word for intro. It's the intro to Longtime.
Sure.. if you say so.. 😂
Tom went to MITA and designed the ridiculously endless sustain you hear on the guitars, it comes from the amp he built, the power soak, which later became the Rockman. He is brilliant and before this no one had a sound like it.
Try Also… ‘Hitch a Ride’… L33, they’re all good songs!! What more to say?
It’s Perfect Boston!! ❤
Boston and Van Halen have the BEST debut albums ever!
Awesome Picks!!!❤
“Rock and roll band” next!
All their songs end rocking - for a few that just kick in - Smoking, Rock n Roll Band, Something about you. I love the message of Peace of Mind and then Hitch a Ride for end guitar and final song on original album Take you home tonight. Best thing about Boston (especially first album) is just let them take you on a journey and you can re-listen and hear new things over and over.
Lee-- every track on the Boston debut is a monster. One of--if not thee best selling debut rock album of all time. FM radio still plays every track quite often. Keep going,bro.. :-) T
Controlled chaos! Every song on this album is A+. The sounds Boston made on this album where so totally new to us back then that on the inner sleeve of their second album they had to put on a disclaimer..."No Synthesizers Used" and "No Computers Used". Completely different from Steely Dan but the result was the same. Pure perfection. Heart (very diverse music) and The Cars (could have been called "The Cars Greatest Hits) are two more fantastic debut albums. But Boston has to be the best IMO. But "A Man I'll Never Be" off their second album is my favorite Boston song.
It's like Rick Wakeman walked into the studio
The two songs were always played together.... I can't think of a time when I one was not played without the other....
"Foreplay" has the anticipation, launch, and arrival in space of the guitar spaceship city that is Boston. The "effects" are Tom's own circuits PLAYED/Performed on a guitar. In addition to his master pick slides, he also had a tool he used to play the strings with.
Also genius was how quiet it got before the explosion of "Long TIme". Back in 1976/1977 you'd crank up the volume during the quiet part of "Foreplay" to then get blasted when "Long Time" kicks in - we definitely maxed-out the capabilities of our sound systems.
AND they are "REAL" handclaps. 😎
Try "Set me Free" by Sweet. The drums are great on that one and even though it's from 1974 a modern metal band might be able to do a version of it and it would work.
Hey Lee! Try Smokin'. It jams, one of the best tracks on the album!👍🔈🔉🔊😎
"To Be a Man" and "Cantcha Say (You Believe in Me)" from their 3rd album, Third Stage
We miss you Brad, r.i.p.
Radio play was always Foreplay/Long Time or just Long Time. I was at a Cleveland Colluseum show promoting this album. They hauled the pipe organ from New York's Trinity Cathedral in three trailers for the tour and raised it at least 30 feet with hydraulics for the song.
So the “interlude” (?) between songs has a series of notes played. This is the album cover theme song and those notes can be found on all Boston albums depicting the album cover art for each. Every version has a different sound or even different instruments but all have the same notes. The Journey/Its easy. The Launch/Cool the Engines. These are the next two albums/cover art. Check’m out sometime
Hand claps on rock songs! The Beatles effect.... Brad had a sideband called Beetlejuice that played Beatles songs live. Exquisite!
If you flip the album cover, the spaceship is a guitar
add a few more things to Tom Scholz’s list… he pretty much invented everything you hear. he was an MIT-trained engineer who designed and built his own studio, including the guitar processor, which is why he sounds like nobody else. Brian May from Queen did something similar, though I don’t think anyone is more extreme than Scholz.
Brian May is a physicist. Birds of a feather...
Could you imagine dealing with this on the 70 s
Those were the days!!!
easy riot going on in Boston
