Foreplay / Long Time (Boston cover by Brody Dolyniuk)
Ойын-сауық
A few weeks ago I watched a little documentary on Tom Scholz (guitarist for the band Boston). That led me down the rabbit hole of revisiting their debut album from 1976....an album I wore out during high school, even though my classmates were mostly listening to Depeche Mode at the time.
That led me to discovering some isolated tracks on KZread which blew my mind even further....hearing extracted parts that I never heard or wouldn’t have imagined existed within the classic song I thought I knew pretty well.
Experimenting with Hammond Organ, Clavinet, Bass, Drums, Guitar sounds and wild effects using tape delays, I decided to just try to recreate the entire song.
Doing these one-man band recreations is like a complete master class on the artist (for me). Truly it gives one a newfound respect and appreciation for the songwriting, innovation, musicianship, vocals and mixing (most of which was done by Tom himself in his basement studio).
At any rate, here's my take on one of my favorite songs of all time, Boston's Foreplay/Long Time.
Thank you,
Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, Barry Goudreau, Fran Sheehan and Sib Hashian for this gem...and thank you, Nina Di for your stellar camera/iphone work 🙂
Apologies for misspelling "Sholz" in the end credits.
PS: All instruments/vocals/editing by myself using stock Logic Pro X tools/plugins.
Guitar is an EVH Wolfgang Special
Bass is an Ernie Ball 25th Anniversary Edition
Roland V-Drums/TD-20 kit
Taylor 110 cc acoustic
Nektar Impulse 88 MIDI keyboard
I created the "hyperspace pedal" effects by mapping a MIDI foot pedal to Logic's tape delay and controlling the time value.

How is it a one man band can pull this off when full cover bands can't? Absolute Perfection!
Probably one of the most tonally accurate versions of this song from the instrumentation down to the vocals.
Brody, as a long time Boston fan from day one, having all their albums and having seen them live in concert three times, you have managed to pull off what other cover bands haven’t! A superbly perfect rendition of this Boston classic! Brad’s a hard act to follow vocally, but you sang with his spirit! Kudos dude! 👍🇨🇦
'Boston' was the very first album I ever bought as little kid. This magnificent performance transports me though time and space to my small room living with my parents. Amazing
Being a musician is a very expensive and rewarding Hobbie. More talent in amatures than pop pros. Wish people still gave a darn about real music and musicanship.
f'n A right. All of us look at this. Look at you doing this. and think. THAT's ME! ..... and you nailed this, man. Thank you for this.
I cannot believe this!!! You are incredibly talented!! Thank you for doing this! It brings floods of emotion. 😍😍😍😍
I'm bummed out that it took me three years to find this incredible cover!! How does this have only 15k views? One of the best KZread performances!!
Brody is incredible! WAAYY too much talent for any one person 😄! THE best cover I've ever heard! Have seen him live - really amazing! 👏
I did a whole Facebook post on this video several months ago and, it never fails to blow me away whenever I come back to watch it. The performance, the production value, everything sheer perfection... even down to the lenses used to film it. How it can only have 566 "likes" is a crime for the amount of time and sheer brilliance that when in to it. So, so well done.
Geez dude… are you Tom Scholz’s long lost brother?? That was the best cover I ever heard of Boston’s “Long Time”. Fantastic. Thanks for sticking as close to the original as possible; a must for any Boston aficionado!! 👍
I've seen a number of one-man covers on here that are invariably one-person instrumentals, sometimes with a guest singer. You're the only one who sings as well, and even if you just voiced the vocals over someone else's playing you'd be amazing.

Right. I’m a musician that played a few instruments but I’m not nearly as good as this guy. I’m like an alcoholic stoner version of this guy who didn’t take it seriously enough
Unreal Brody! This is one of my all-time favorite tracks and you freaking nailed it. Not just one of the instruments, but the whole damn thing!
Best cover of F/LT I've ever heard, hands down.
God gave you all the musical talent anyone could ever want your are blessed Brody.
The concert at the Las Vegas ballpark saturday night was the most entertaining 20 bucks i have ever spent!! When can we see Brody and friends again. They deserve a gig on the strip
BRILLIANT! Absolutely BRILLIANT. Brody, you are gift from God entertaining humanity with beautiful music. May you be rewarded with very long happy healthy life. Thank you, Sir ...
At 2:41 in you did not Disappoint! I can only imagine how much work you put into this I hope you have help with all the editing. Very well put together Great Vocals as normal. Always excited to see a new Video from you! Thanks so much for your time!
It's now obvious to me. "There's only one Brody," 👍 Terrific mate, Outstanding.
This was so accurate I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn’t the actual track. The vocals were the only part that allowed me to discern this from the original (not that they were bad, you hit every note perfectly. Everyone’s voice is just naturally different) You need to refresh Tom on how to play this song next time he goes on tour
Great job 👏 Brody on another classic 👍
Absolutely brilliant!!! Ever in Tennessee, let’s jam!!!
Brody that was amazing. Wow here for the comments. Makes me want to play again
Wow, Amazing! I grew up on this album ! Spot on re-creation!
I can't imagine how much time and effort you have invested in this. I also watched the film about Tom Scholz and how he recorded each track in his homemade studios. Damn he is a talented genius. You are also a very talented multi faceted artist and knocked me out with this video. Awesome, very very awesome.
Just saw Brody live in Las Vegas from front row. That show rocked !
It almost FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME I heard that song. Nice.
Dude............ your musical talent is sick! 👏 👏 👏
I'm a BIG Boston fan,and this is utterly incredible effort,even down to the great attempt at Bradds vocals...Tom and the boys would be blowing their minds at hearing this rendition.
Amazing huge Rush fan. i hate covers until now Blowing me away ,
Boston was amazing! I obsessively listened to both albums in the 70s. You`re very talented!
Wowowow! A fantastic cover of one of my most favorites. Took me back to high school, too...
Unbelievable amazing talent...
Incredible 👏... I’ve been lucky enough to see you live at Brea Fest and this just shows again how talented you are and also demonstrates the endless depth of your art. Great stuff.
I don't usually like most Boston covers, but man, you killed it!!!!! Everything about this is amazing!!!! Well done!!!!❤
Great ending, too!
Astounding! Really a one-man band :)

My, my, my Brody, you just keep on blowing us away! We just need to get out to Vegas to hear you at one of your shows!
