No special lighting, no stupid camera angles, no stupid effects just rock solid music...the best cover of this song I've ever heard.

[@MrCox2121]

Exactly right!!!

[@gordo8189]

It's the best cover of ANY song I've ever heard ;-)

[@tomyoung5159]

Absolutely amazing musicians....thank you for sharing these amazing people....after 61 yrs of loving its very powerful to hear such professional musicians Nail this Tune.....right on everyone....iam following you!!! 👊

[@acboyd666]

You have to admire the balls of anyone trying ti cover Boston, because it’s either going to go very well or very badly. You guys aced it. Tom spent a year laying down tracks. And it’s not easy to measure up to Brad Delp. As a lifelong fan of Boston, you guys nailed it. Just phenomenal.

[@amyshearer1610]

To think one man created this in his basement nearly 50 years ago! Amazing!

[@lindabergman3127]

And this fantastic band n singers are singing and playing it every bit as great as Boston did💯per cent fabulous

[@amyshearer1610]

You never hear bands cover Boston's songs, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this one! Brad Delp was an amazing vocalist; I always thought of Boston as a duet with his voice and Tom Scholz' guitar! Kudos!

[@ananominity]

OMG thank you all so much!!!!!!! Every one of you NAILED IT!!!!!! From the guitar sound of tom schultz to the background harmonies, I have never enjoyed a cover of Boston so much. And thats coming from a rock guitarist who played a lot of big clubs in the 80s. Brad Delp is no easy cover and the drums were flawless, the keys were perfect! You all really did it justice. 3 times through and I'm getting teary-eyed.👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@fredchatham6680]

Covering a BOSTON song is a formidable task. Nailing FOREPLAY/LONG TIME is extremely ambitious. The vocals honor Brad, huge shoes to fill. Everything is where it should be. If only for a moment everything is right in the universe. Well done.

[@58raceguy]

Holy cow! I’ve been a Boston fan since their beginning and I’d rather hear your take on this classic. Absolutely incredible.

[@charleskadletc2431]

I agree to you all.

[@SPCLPONY]

Absolutely fantastic! So much talent in all of you, and obviously having a blast doing what you're doing! I smiled from start to finish. Your Foreigner cover of 'Waiting for a girl like you' brought me here.

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

Oh yeah, I was a Boston fan before the beginning!!!

[@TOM-si5fo]

Awesome! As close to original as it gets.

[@robertmurdock7530]

Holy friggen MOLY! You don't "cover" Boston....You ARE Boston! That's undisputably the best Boston evah!👍🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@brucemoore4092]

I have watched and enjoyed this immensely HUNDREDS of times !!! I think it is their best rendition !!!!!!!!!!!

[@CheresaEddington-qt4bt]

Yes I Couldn't agree More... ! You Guys Are Awesome

[@waynelewis881]

Drummers like that don't come along every day!

[@abbgt]

Brilliant to have the female singers. The original is Brad Delp doing all background/harmony parts I believe with the ability to get wayyyy up there. This was the perfect way to cover those parts.

[@kpete9219]

Absolutely. Being beautiful doesn't hurt any!

[@joeharrison1142]

15 years ago today that Brad Delp left us.You're doing him proud. Awesome..

[@stevieray8822]

Boston’s first album is one of the top albums of all time IMHO

[@paulgehrman]

without a doubt

[@SylvesterCarl]

It sounded different, and fantastic! Still does. Saw their tour. They played their album and it sounded like the album.

[@raymondeverson7323]

I can hardly believe what i just saw. Except for the power of Delps voice (which this cat made his own) .... this is an incredible performance. My God, that drummer! The keyboards. Unbelievalbe. Tom must be very happy

[@wadejameson5389]

Best Boston cover I’ve ever heard.

[@BrianW211]

If somebody would've asked me yesterday, I would've said nobody could ever do a cover that does justice to this song. Can't say that today. Wow!

[@bobgregoryvb]

Just listened to the first ten year interview where this song was mentioned and I had to come back!!! So many awesome parts, but Austin was SO YOUNG HERE!!!! Hoping Amanda Carter will come back, at least for the live!!!

[@Rotten40851]

How the hell can this have 139 dislikes?!!!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!

[@gregpeterman1102]

How can you see the total dislikes? I thought the anti-free speech democrats at Google sabatoged that years ago.

[@michaelpaolucci5107]

I'm going to say something that needs explaining, you do my friend's Brad and Sibby, very proud!! I was blessed to call both of them dear friends, as well as Fran Sheehan, and Barry Goudreau, I was blown away by your dedication to recreating that signature Sholz power soak sound, and the vocals were fantastic! I am very finicky about Boston covers, especially since Brad and Sibby were more family than friends to me!! I'm overjoyed, as I'm sure Sibs wife Suzanne would be, that you are keeping their music relevant on such a quality level! Kudos from Massachusetts!! ❤️👍

[@LexingtonLabBand]

Very humbling words. Thanks!!

[@briangoudreau5793]

I’ve gotta say it’s probably one of the best I’ve ever seen besides the real thing! I’ve spent many years behind stage watching the real deal or front row yes Barry is my uncle and I’m sure he would be very impressed by this version to.

[@robertdillon9989]

[@patjones1718]

I love the Boston sound SO MUCH. And I miss it so much also. Over 40 years later this still brings tears of joy to my eyes. It's so good and brings back so many good memories.

[@dberdes]

I’ve always said that if I was ever limited to only one album to keep for the rest of my life it would be a tossup between Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours or Boston’s eponymous album.

[@bryanmceuen5673]

Back in the 70' s I saw Boston twice and never would dream anyone could do a cover of them. Great job guys

[@johng1503]

I am the same. His guitar work in this track alone is sublime. Just gutted to hear that he died. Was it an accident or an illness?

[@mikegendron3723]

The "Wall of Sound" that Tom Scholz strived to create and produced, is evident in this masterpiece of a cover!! Absolutely Stunning!!!

[@cokeandtwirl]

I feel so lucky to have grown up in 1950s/60s/70s when so much great music was created - and now we have proper musicians like these guys playing that music for us and doing it brilliantly.

Thanks ya all. And thanks for the singers for honoring Brad!

[@gateofdreams]

I wish I could go back in time to the moment when I was an LLB "virgin" and had never heard you guys before. I'd would give my right arm (and I am a guitarist) to see my own face when I heard this and other covers from you guys ... The rush I got, the amazing, astonished look I must have had after discovering each rendition of so many hits from the best groups on this planet ... I remember staying up almost until dawn ... I just wanted to see how far you guys could reach and; far you went, LLB!! Even though I know the incredibly detailed transcriptions involved, I can't help but to admire how easy you guys make each performance look. Only master musicians can pull these feats ... I love you, LLB! ❤❤❤

[@abouttime5000]

The first rock album I ever owned. Boston self titled. The significance of Boston and these songs cannot be over exaggerated. They are so significant and own a place in musical history. The Lexington Lab band plays homage to Boston in the best possible manner. Excellence and joy is etched on their faces.

[@canguy10]

what really!!! Longtime??? great job... never thought a cover band would attempt this... amazing

[@gkatcher]

I still say that this is your Crown Jewel y'all. The BEST you've ever done.

[@Henkerhaus]

I wish KZbin would support giving a double thumbs up rating! Sometimes “One” just doesn’t seem adequate!😊

[@Cartier_specialist]

I listened to this song in my friend's 1970 Mustang back in the day and he always torture tested all his speakers when this song was playing.

Was not expecting ANYTHING even close to this. You brought tears to my eyes. That keyboardist! Then the drums and guitars! For a moment I wondered if you had a backing track because the sound was just too close. Fantastic vocals. The harmonization and stupendous clapping from the backing vocalists was so spot on. Thanks for making my day!

[@archstanton9206]

I am 64 years old. I have seen Boston live 8 times, usually front row seats, or right below the mixing board. I haven't been to a concert to see them since Brad left us. I listen to Boston through a vintage 1974 Marantz receiver, usually on a very nice turntable, through vintage Klipsch Cornwalls, in my music room, with my eyes closed. In other words, I listen. not just hear, I listen. You guys are the closest, musically, to them as any band I have ever heard. I can close my eyes and very briefly get taken back to those magic years. Keep after it, you guys are worthy of the music.
