1606 Boston - Foreplay/Long Time

1606 Boston - Foreplay/Long Time

From: Boston, Year: 1976
Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock

This is one of the songs that initially made me a fan of Boston; it's the longest track off of their debut album clocking in at just under 8 minutes total.
The instrumental Foreplay opening 'overture' section, which reminds me a lot of a Toccata, immediately grabs you by the ears and won't let go. The track then goes into the main Long Time section that is more of a straight-up Hard Rock, but still just as musical as the opening.
