Kudos to Mark Rivera, the ultimate sideman. Not only did he play sax, guitar, percussion and keyboards but he sang the freaking high harmonies over Lou. That's some serious talent. No wonder he's been with Billy Joel and Ringo Starr for decades.
@@mattwuxx3888 I love this concert and the spectacular saxophone playing reminds me of another great player that may or may not be familiar to some. I have to give a shout out to Andy McKay who played with Roxy music.

@@user-bl6ne3hc6n At least the Go Go's aren't really rock and roll. New Wave girl pioneers or whatever. But Joan Jett and Foreigner ARE in the same genre.

Any soldiers stationed in Germany in around 1981 maybe remember The 4th Golde summer night concert in Nuremberg featuring.... Kansas, Foreigner,, Blue Oyster cult, Iron Maiden, 38 Special and a british band called More
Many thanx , for upload and share this !!! With me and with the younger generations !!! And the older generations , who can remember and can see this again . THANK YOU ! ! !
Mr. Gramm got very I’ll from a blood disease overseas and had to take steroids for the infection and he gained a massive amount of weight and had to give up singing for like 2 years . His first concert back was in Chicago at the Taste of Chicago . After a few songs he was back and sounded great . His family was at the concert as well . He’s one of the best singers I’ve ever seen or heard . Foreigner was Lou Gramm
Starrider is on another level, absolute knockout. Lou transcends earth, by sight & sound. This whole concert, on repeat views, out of this world. Nobody else can accomplish what they have.
I seen the band several years ago before Mick decided to remake the band and while Lou was having health issues that made him bloated, his voice was still the same and the band put on a great show! ❤🎸😎👍
This was before Mick Jones got super greedy. This lineup with the core 4 is great 👍. Mutt Lange and Mick Jones produced the 4 album. You cam hear the influence with the drums 🥁, guitars 🎸 and backing vocals 👌.
No their not the same without Lou. Kelly’s a great singer but my God there’s a reaspy difference. Kelly’s a great singer but they’re just not the same foreigner that I grew up with.Lou’s special !!!!! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
@@WinterWineMusic Yea you are right about that, they do sound great and Kelly does have awesome vocals. I’ve watched a few of their concerts on TV. They do sound awesome. I just miss lou, maybe it has something to do with growing up when the older stuff came out and that’s what I got used to it just the fact that it takes me back to better days when I see Lou perform. I’ll never forget it but I was in 7th grade dance cats and we actually done a routine to Hot Blooded. When I think about it now I’m like wow that song was a little bit mature for a bunch of 7th grade girls. Cracks me up to this day. Us girls didn’t really pay much attention to it but I bet the audience did. Crazy! It was our crazy dance teacher that picked it out. I do like Kelly and I don’t doubt that they put in a excellent performance. I think it’s about memories and better times. Am I reading to much into it ?
Lou had that something special with his voice. Others were fabulous but Lou had that extra it. Just one of the best performances and music. Great to be alive....I rocked in the 80's. Thanks

They must've been an opening act for another band, because this was less than a 50 minute show. No headliner with 4 albums of material is going to play anywhere less than an hour and a half.
Except that Steve Perry was the quintessential artist both in the studio and live in concert. Front man and singer, accurate performance of the studio work and engaging the audience.
I saw this tour in Lubbock Texas. What an Awesome show. We were lucky Foreigner came. Riveras solo was so Memorable. Todays Foeigner pales in Comparison. Lou Gramm had so much Energy and Passion. Juke Box Hero and Waiting for a Girl. Stand out. Glad this was posted. Why is the Hispanic Always in the back. Lol. Just kidding. I wish i had bought the tour shirt. I wanna cry watching this. 80s were THE BEST!!!!!
No argument there, but it's also, practice, hard work and dedication that makes Lou (or anyone) great. This what we should be teaching kids, don't just expect to be famous because you have a great gift, be humble and work hard.
Ithink as long as mother earth lets us be here,so will this incredible music,,,blue morning and at war with the world,sooo amazingly inspirational in my life,LOOOOVE IT.....
Cant believe that anyone going to a Foreigner concert today actually believes they are seeing Foreigner. This was and always will be Foreigner no exceptions anything else is simply a tribute band.
Unfortunately all the bands we grew up on age, and its either replace members as best they can or not tour at all. I agree its basically a cover band now, but at least we can still close our eyes at a live concert and pretend its them again.
And they are not already in the Hall of Fame because ... ? Forget 'why aren't they nominated', they should just plain be in like Boston and Styx should.
These guys are the rockers. The sound, timing. All of them! Clean! What can I say. Just like AC/DC with Bon Scott! I mean listen. They kicked ass. You either got it or you don’t. My plan is I got it too. Keep rocking!
Im lucky to have seen All 4. FOREIGNER IN 81, VAN HALEN in 80, CHEAP TRICK IN 82, JOURNEY IN 86. I think FOREIGNER was $7.50. I saw Bad Compay in 1979 here in Lubbock Texas. Yngwie in 88 with Joe Lynn Turner , an Awesome Rock singer too.
I got to see them once. Lou sang Woman oh Woman with such passion, we were in the second row and I swear I saw tears in his eyes, he was singing that song with such emotion. I also to this day have a Misplaced by Mick Jones guitar pick that he was throwing.
Wow ! Lou puts every ounce of everything into his performances, So much soul passion and feeling !!! Still sad that they let him go !!! LOVE 💕 FOREIGNER Killer !! 💥🤘🏼💀🤘🏼💥
Saw them in 77 Day on the Green #2 at Oakland Stadium May 28th. Eagles, Steve Miller, Heart, Atlanta Rhythm Section and Foreigner. I was 15, my first rock concert. It was so much fun, that I made It a favorite pastime. I've been to over 100 shows since then. 10 or 12 Day on the Greens, these guys 4 times. You name the hard rock band, I've seen them. Life is good. I'm going to see G3 Satriani, Vai, Johnson next month. My third G3 concert. Rock on! 🎸🎤
Never saw Foreigner live but was at Day on the Green, Oakland in around 82. Scorpions headlined, Heart, Y&T, .38 Special, and I was so stoned I forget who else was there. The whole Bay Area was rock and roll central in those days.
@@Woodstock271 Certainly was. Funny note to my DOTG experiences, almost every time I went with just my buddies, we got separated within the first 30 minutes we were there, met up at the car after the show. Funny part was, I always had the "party favors" on me. 😂
@@doodlepops707 , Oh yeah man! Oakland Stadium during Day on the Green was insane! No less than 7 to 10 major bands and it lasted all day into the night. You bought tickets for your seats but nobody stayed in their seats for long. You start rushing the stage. You’re on the field wading through puddles of spilled beer with your t-shirt wrapped around your head and your friends are nowhere to be seen. You plan ahead for this with the agreement that anyone still alive meets at the car afterwards. Man, the Scorpions rocked that one.
@@doodlepops707 I’m sure you’ve been to the Cow Palace as well. I went to see Ronnie James Dio there. Early 80’s sometime. That’s a more controlled venue where you stay in your seats. He was awesome man. The animatronic dragon thing was top of the line stage technology then. But Day on the Green was just raw insanity and so much fun. Nice talking to you brother. 🤙🏼
I saw them during their Agent Provocateur tour. When the gospel choir emerged on I Want to Know What Love Is, it was the greatest concert moment that I’ve ever experienced.
In relationship to the comment made below which states "Lou had that something special with his voice. Others were fabulous but Lou had that extra it. Just one of the best performances and music. Great to be alive....I rocked in the 80's. Thanks" The something is called a gift from God the very magical nuancical elements that give him that signature tone that can't be replicated. Additionally its the same attributes that make cetera, steve perry, brad delph irreplaceable in their genre. You have to have a trained ear to really note the deltas in the quality. With Brad if you listen to him the way his voice modulates upward and downward on a phrase combined with the timber of the voice, the organic nuances that are emitted from their deep soul experience is something that cannot be replace along with a crisp edge on their voice and a most key element is the annunciations on their phrasing. If you listen microscopically its all revealed on why their is distinctive gaps between the lead singers now who replaced them. Yes they hit the notes and replicate some of the timber but let me tell you there is a lot more differences they can't replicate. Louie had an edge on his voice with the timber you just can't replicate so he becomes the voice of foreigner as cetera is the voice of chicago.

There early stuff is where its at, im not a huge fan of this band, but ya gotta respect their early stuff. Lou is one of the best vocalists out there. But in this video, after the 1st song i had to skip to 21:30 or so in to get to the next song i like. THeir harder stuff is good. But their later stuff.... nah.... cheesie is the word that comes to mind. Read Lou's book, go see Lou while ya can. I think hes done with touring after this summer or fall. Hes the one to go see. This band currently has NO original members and has extended their farewell tour ! lol..... oh ya cant make this shit up ! lol .
Foreigner at their peak/prime. Saw them in Cincinnati's Riverfront Coliseum on this tour with Billy Squier opening. What a night! Both bands were at their peak and at the top of the charts. Lou Gramm is one of rock's most energetic and greatest frontmen. PERIOD!
Kudos to Mark Rivera, the ultimate sideman. Not only did he play sax, guitar, percussion and keyboards but he sang the freaking high harmonies over Lou. That's some serious talent. No wonder he's been with Billy Joel and Ringo Starr for decades.
Yeah he was absolutely killing it on Luanne, brilliant stuff.
Yes. Rivera was to Foreigner what Bob Mayo was to Peter Frampton's band. Or Greg Ham to Men At Work.

Where? Queen stopped touring the United States in 1981.
1982 hot space Tour was the Last us Tour
There early stuff is where its at, im not a huge fan of this band, but ya gotta respect their early stuff. Lou is one of the best vocalists out there. But in this video, after the 1st song i had to skip to 21:30 or so in to get to the next song i like. THeir harder stuff is good. But their later stuff.... nah.... cheesie is the word that comes to mind. Read Lou's book, go see Lou while ya can. I think hes done with touring after this summer or fall. Hes the one to go see. This band currently has NO original members and has extended their farewell tour ! lol..... oh ya cant make this shit up ! lol .
Damn mick jones killing it
Thanks for this, I saw this tour in London in '81 - fantastic.
Que grande Luo de mí época años 80 Dios te dio esa vos increíble gracias por todo Dios fui feliz en mí juventud
Foreigner at their peak/prime. Saw them in Cincinnati's Riverfront Coliseum on this tour with Billy Squier opening. What a night! Both bands were at their peak and at the top of the charts. Lou Gramm is one of rock's most energetic and greatest frontmen. PERIOD!
I was at the Buffalo tour….. god they were on key that nite………
Saw them back in 78 at Kansas City what a great show with Bob Seger at Summer Jam
Oh wow !! 78 Seger and Foreigner ...bet it was something ?! not even easy to find late 70s Seger in concert anywhere .
