Boston (Foreplay/Long TIme) Kel's First Reaction

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Still Boston's best song, and still fresh after 43 years. RIP Brad Delp, Boston's lead singer .Kel's face said it all, this song is three steps beyond awesome. Love the site.

[@Bobman-ml5qf]

And the drummer too R.I.P!

[@joerenaud8292]

The intro to this song is so epic with it's up and down changeovers that no other band has ever been able to reproduce to this day. And the rest of the song has such a feel good sound with lyrics, voice and epic guitar sounds that you can't help but feel energized after hearing it, that's why it's one of my most favorite songs of all time.

[@MaxHoukes]

I had an 8 track player in my 1973 Gran Torino and one in my house. I wore out FOUR of the Boston 8 tracks before I went to cassette tapes. My ELO "Out of the Blue" 8 tracks went about the same route!

[@TripletDad3]

So many good songs on that first album. Brad Delp had one of the greatest rock voices in history. The notes he was able to hit in More Than a Feeling were phenomenal. Just when you think he reached the highest note, he took it up to another level, twice. It was heart breaking when he took his own life.

[@marcellanthier8359]

Literally the most successful demo ever. When assigned a pro sound engineer by the label, the engineer said he couldn't improve it.

[@neechee5150]

BS. Producer John Boylan is on record stating that the drum and acoustic instrument racks on Toms demo were amateurish and could not be used in for the final recording. Boylan hired LA Engineer Paul Grupp to teach Tom proper mic technique and how to record acoustic instruments. Tom then had to rerecord all of the drum and acoustic instrument tracks. Also all of Brads vocals were recorded at Capital Studios Studio C by producer John Boylan and the vocal quality on the demo is poor and amateurish compared to the vocals on the record.

[@robertkelly1434]

"Foreplay" can best be appreciated when listened to at high volume, while driving at night, at high speed on a dark country road, in a '71 Mustang, during a Midwest thunder storm, with the headlights off, and the road lit only by the constant flashes of lightning.

[@michaelgross8635]

So glad to see #Boston getting respect from great people like you two! Back in the day, they were ridiculed by the press (I'm talking to you, Rolling Stone Magazine), who called them "corporate rock." The ironic thing is, nobody stayed truer to their own vision than Tom Scholz. After the label forced them to release Don't Look Back prematurely in '78, it would be another 8 years before Tom would release another album (Third Stage). I would love to hear Kel's reaction to Hitch a Ride - that's one of my all-time favorite songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoeWoYVubLFgipo - I got the first Boston album as a birthday gift when I was 13 (March of '77) and I still have that vinyl in my collection. It's, without a doubt, one of the most solid albums of the era. Love it!! Hats off to the late Brad Delp - one of the finest rock vocalists ever. Such a tragic loss...
