      @@slick8038 They really did. I saw them (at 24) in 1981 at the Inglewood Forum on the '4' Tour. This version from Germany a year later took it to an even higher level. I remember thinking after listening to the album when I first bought '4', that this was their peak album that couldn't or wouldn't be topped, and I was right. It was (for all intents and purposes) their final album even though it wasn't. It might as well have been for reasons all too familiar and painful to their original fans, even 40 years later. .

      IKR? I was young when this came out but loved Foreigner for their entire catalog of songs (including ballads as some here don’t care for, that’s ok if they don’t, but I do) but I had never seen this video until today. What a tour de force. Extra props to the horn guy and to the rest of the band for giving him the stage…killer. Just fantastic. What an incredible experience it must have been for the lucky folks in attendance. ❤

I’ll never forget the first time he sang, he was a SPOT ON STEVE PERRY voice. Like, perfect. Every time we watched him after, everyone was blown away. I’ve always wondered if he was able to advance a singing career. When he sang Journey songs, it gave me chills. He was THAT good.

    Noone will ever convince me that we didn't have the largest, most talented , and most varied collection of singers and bands back in the era of the 70's, 80's and into the 90's! Funny thing is that if you were fortunate enough like myself to enjoy that era of music, it was mostly taken for granted because that was our reality back then. Hindsight, however shows just how fortunate we were to be there. Thank goodness for mediums like TH-cam that allow us to still enjoy the music but it's a shame younger folks can't truly understand how great it was to actually be there!

      It's fantastic. Foreigner 4 was their 4th and final album of their Golden Age. After that, they went to s---- with "I Want to Know..." which was Mick Jones' doing. He wanted Foreigner to become another Journey, and got his wish with their crybaby sound. "I Want to Know" became their most famous song, and still is. But in the mid 2020's, it doesn't matter anymore.

The tumor was a birth defect a genetic issue. But the Gramm and Hansen debate is really lame and silly , a waste of time. Fact is (and you may not like this) but all Foreigners hits and their big selling albums along with sold out tours , all that took place during the Lou Gramm era of Foreigner not Hansen . Hansen is definitely a good singer but he has no hits of his own in Foreigner, no best selling album with his stamp on the band . He lives off touring and he lives off 🎵 songs actually written by Jones and Jones /Gramm songwriting team. I'm not against Hansen doing well with his own songs in Foreigner but he's been in the band 17 years. Michael where's the beef ? Hansen hasn't given anything for nobody to , uh, move on to. Plus Hansen said they were not making anymore albums, they would be recording about 3 new songs and just download them for fans or I say whatever fans they have left. I hope Mick Jones never treats Hansen as terrible and crappy as he did Gramm and Edwards, Jones is a greedy man.

    This is one of the iconic mainstream rock bands from the seventies. Lou Gramm was one of the nine distinctive voices that defined the rock genre of the 1970s. No auto tune, no computers, no cell phones but real voices, spunk, passion, sensuality and raw emotion. It was an era of genius songwriting, innovative compositions, and musicians who were masters on their instruments. Glad that I grew up in that era.

      I’ve had a hard time with Brad since his passing and the reasons behind it. I still think he’s one of the best but it’s hard to reconcile that with the real issues he had. There’s another band (regional, not well known) that I loved dearly, I mean I followed them for years, traveled to see them, knew most of their original songs word for word, but several years the lead singer/guitarist/writer/driving force (who I knew personally) was convicted for several severe child SA crimes…they were 12 year olds he taught music to and was supposed to mentor…and since then I can’t listen to his music, the music that was such a huge part of my life and that I loved. While Brad was neither charged nor convicted (at least as far as I know), the accusations coupled with his “un-aliving himself” (TH-cam doesn’t like for us to use the proper word) weigh heavily on me whenever I hear a Boston masterpiece. Thats tough, and as a fan but also a regular human I don’t know how to process those feelings. If you have advice I’m all ears. Brilliant singers should be remembered, I just need help compartmentalizing the bad thoughts versus the talent.

      I hear ya. I love both, but this one is harder-edged taking it up a few notches for sure. The other biggest difference is the sax being used throughout here, rather than only in the early part, and of course the classic solo. I saw them in 1981 at the Inglewood Forum and it was more like the record. It was wonderful of course, but seeing this one from Germany for the first time in 2024, kind of made the song all new, all over again for me.

      Well yes, absolutely. Unfortunately it was also the "final" Foreigner album in the classic Foreigner tradition of the previous 3. Mick Jones took the band in a really direction starting in 1984, effectively turning them into Journey. They turned off millions of fans 40 years ago, never to get them back, including myself. Having said that, the first 4 albums are golden with me and always will be. What happened after '4' had/has nothing to do with those, of course.
