Fact is, Lou Gramm before he became ill was second to none vocally in the rock & roll world. Singers come and go but the original front person of the best bands or solo artist whos voices and performances captured the hearts and minds of a generation should be respected & preserved. Would the stones be the Stones if Mick Jagger was replaced, or Roger Daltry of the Who, Geddy Lee of Rush ???? Seriously !
Luv Ya Lou!! Foreigner can NEVER be the same without You!!! One of the Greatest Rock Acts in History!! So thankful you are now one of God's Children - cannot wait to hear you sing in Glory!! Amen!!
On this date in 1977 {Mar. 26th} "Feels Like The First Time" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it would peaked at #4 and spent 22 weeks in the Top 100. Ranked 31st on the Billboard's Year-End Hot Top 100 Singles of 1977 chart Reached #39 on the U.K. Singles chart Was the group's debut record; if fact 4 out of 5 of their 1st releases made the Top 10; started with this one, then "Cold As Ice" {#6}, "Long, Long Way From Home" {#20}, "Hot Blooded" {#3}, and finally "Double vision" {#2}
I saw Foreigner and Joe Walsh in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1985. Foreigner is, to this day, the best band I've ever seen in concert. Bar none!!! I've seen hundreds of bands since, and none could measure up to Foreigner!!!
They aren't in the RnR hall of fame because Mick pissed them off! Still they should be, if not because of Mick, for Lou laying it on the line every time he opens his mouth, he sings like it's the last night of his life! God what a vocalist!
great vid good music quality too. know how foreigner was started? it started when lou recorded a song for himself and left it at home. one of his friends found it and went to the construction site (where he was origionaly working at the time) and brought him to the recording station to record a few songs.
you are so right, i can't imagine replacing any of those great singers..only a few times a band has done it successfully..a/c d/c is one that comes to mind.. I was shocked to have read somewhere on the tube that The Who was considering firing Daltrey? wow that is insane..oh the other band that comes to mind was the doobies bros.. I liked both Tom Johnston and Mike McDonald..Although they are so radically different..but 98% of the time it is impossible.. I also liked both Roth & Hager.
Classic rock perfection is Foreigner !!! Also , check out ," Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
My best buddy almost got picked to be the bassist back in the early 80s, but someone failed to give necessary information out of spite. Nasty deal that "Spite".
Can you imagine that Lou Grahm one of the best rock vocalists ever along w/ the great Foreigner is being kept out of the hall of fame..we should all boycott that piece of trash called a magazine..and their list of greatest guitarists also a crime...
Does anybody know the date of this show? Lou mentions 9/11 but they all look so young. At least Lou and Mick do. Also, wasn't Lou long gone from the band by the 2,000s ?
+MRGuitargeorgie I think the "911" reference ("...because this is an emerrrrgency!") was an introduction to the next song, which I'm guessing was "Urgent."
agreed, along w/ many other bands that Jann Weiner-head is helping to keep out.. the list is astonishig..Chicago, Yes, Doobies, MaRY wELLS, ETC..google Jann Wenner for a complete list of groups he is keeping away from his hall of shame ..its a bunch of BS
@EFLRR96 Yeah, you got that right, they should rename it Jan Wenner's Hall of Fame because if you are on his shitlist, you won't get in. I saw the list of those blackballed and it's ridiculous: Kiss, Foreigner, Linda Ronstadt, Emerson Lake and Palmer, WTF?
Yeah really they do..The board was created by Rolling Stone !! That guy refuses to let alot of the 80's bands in,A board my ass when 1 guy controls and makes those kind of decisions.Rock and Roll hall of Shame is what it really is
@AustinDeM the stuff in the 70s and 80s was Zeppelin, ACDC, Rush, Van Halen, The Who, and I won't even try to explain punk rock to you. Foreigner is bitch rock. You should know better than to feed the trolls.
From Malaysia & grew up with this American Rock & Roll band. Lou & Mick are true legendary....
Lou Gramm, Steve Perry, Paul Rodgers, Ann Wilson....best voices in rock and ballads. No one has topped them yet, in my opinion.
Peter Cetera too!
May I add Steve Walsh, John Farnham, Jimi Jamison
and John Lennon...as in when he sang "Money" and "Twist and Shout"!
VIDEOHEREBOB
Does Robert Plant sound to you?
Lou was and still is the man.....Nobody will ever reach the bar he set vocally.LOVE THIS MAN....
Lou Gramm, one of the greatest live singers ever in rock n roll !!!!!! Strong pipes and great range.....!
This is world class ARENA ROCK ! Lyrics are amazing..showmanship stellar..this is spot on 70s classic. !
I can't believe that the last time I saw Foreigner was in the mid-90s. It's seems like it was only yesterday.
This band should be in the rock n roll HOF.No question about it.
One of the best bands in the history of rock. No doubt!

Absolutely!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I wish they still made musical masterpieces like this today
Wow, one of the few bands that actually sounded great live. :o
This is rock & roll.
GREAT vocal in this one.
I saw these guys right after their first album came out. Lou Gramm was INCREDIBLE. Just stood there and blew the doors off the place.
Lou Gramm is BOSS
Luv Ya Lou!!
Foreigner can NEVER be the same without You!!!
One of the Greatest Rock Acts in History!!
So thankful you are now one of God's Children - cannot wait to hear you sing in Glory!! Amen!!

whatever decade you are from... this was the stuff back in the 70's and 80's
I saw Foreigner and Joe Walsh in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1985. Foreigner is, to this day, the best band I've ever seen in concert. Bar none!!! I've seen hundreds of bands since, and none could measure up to Foreigner!!!
Foreigner rocks it! hey - I saw Joe Walsh that year - but he opened for Night Ranger at Summerfest... he was so awesome!
Guitars, Bass, drums and a vocalist=Rock and Roll! Great band!!
Erik - THANK GOD they recently made the "Songwriter's Hall of Fame!!" Lou is definitely THE MAN!!
One of the greatest Classic Rock Bands of all time. Don't care what anyone thinks. These guys can jam...
It's true. The great Lou Gramm should be in every Hall of Fame there is. To keep him out because of Mick's outlandish antics is inexcusable.!!
Lead singer is wonderful live!
Them is some chops!!!
I saw them in 2002 shortly before Lou was gone from the band...GREAT SHOW
One Of My Favorite Rock Bands FOREIGNER!
Great song thanks for sharing You Tube.
They aren't in the RnR hall of fame because Mick pissed them off! Still they should be, if not because of Mick, for Lou laying it on the line every time he opens his mouth, he sings like it's the last night of his life! God what a vocalist!
I miss this kind of music. He's one of the best vocalists I heard live. Bring this kind of music back please!!!!!!!!!
Feels like the first time, the very first time, lol, can not get this song out my head
It says it ALL
Quality shows.
Oooo yeah I can feel that... love it.
Pitch perfect is the reason im here..
love this song :))
I would have liked to live at that time
@Thetiger510 I agree- my first thought was this looks like Pine Knob. Saw them there in 79 0r 80! FANTASTIC Concert!
20 yrs I saw them LIVE the Cleveland Rib Cookoff for THE VERY FIRST TIME!!!!! AHHH THE MEMORIES!!!
This song always fires me up...auright!!!
great vid good music quality too.
know how foreigner was started? it started when lou recorded a song for himself and left it at home. one of his friends found it and went to the construction site (where he was origionaly working at the time) and brought him to the recording station to record a few songs.
Lou Gramm is Foreiger nuff said
@dipparpl The song came out in 77, the video was made in 93. Live at deer creek.
Lou gramm is the man
Totally Awesome..Thank's
you are so right, i can't imagine replacing any of those great singers..only a few times a band has done it successfully..a/c d/c is one that comes to mind..

Lou loves his tambourine and his cowbell.
awesome..truly class!
Sophie Plunmmer singing with Foreigner at High Voltage Festival on 24th july..ITN news London Tonight!
AMEN BROTHER!
Two people don't know great talent when they hear it !
I think this was at pine knob detroit mi early 80s.. I went to one of there shows there. wow this is cool
Truer words were never spoken. Without Lou? Pointless.
HHHHH OOOOO FFFF DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert Plant will remain the best Rock star of all fricking times.
hot damn😀hot damn 😃😃😄😄hot damn
Classic rock perfection is Foreigner !!! Also , check out ," Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
As far as the top 5 vocalist from below, I seem to remember S T E V E P E R R Y, just say'in.
Hahah I knew that was either at Deer Creek or Tinley Park - they both are identical designs.
My best buddy almost got picked to be the bassist back in the early 80s, but someone failed to give necessary information out of spite. Nasty deal that "Spite".
@reedrichards82 and yeh like they can just do that!!! time machine back to 78'??
You better sang Lou Gramm!!!!!
Can you imagine that Lou Grahm one of the best rock vocalists ever along w/ the great Foreigner is being kept out of the hall of fame..we should all boycott that piece of trash called a magazine..and their list of greatest guitarists also a crime...
I agree with sammy!!
@krn1313 Yeah pretty great singer!!!
@johnapril320 1993 Deer Creek Music Center Noblesville Indiana. Its 15 miles down the road from me.
Ever see Steve Walsh, Kansa live? He's up there.
Edward Powers No, he isn't.
+Edward Powers Steve Walsh is a great singer too.
Absolutely
MICK JONES IS GREAT!!!
The only way this could be better is if Lou had a cow bell.
@dd42482048 i totally agree with you on that
That was yesterday. You're in your mid 90's.
@sammys70
Couldn't agree more!
Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more tambourine!
Falto jimmy jammison de survivor jhon white de bad eiglish
That does totally look like Pine Knob. Was it?
i dont have the slightest clue what year this couldve been filmed in.
top 5 rock vocalists (IMO)....robert plant, steve walsh, lou gramm, paul rodgers, axl rose...not necessarily in that order
Year of this???
@ollie1232 Too bad you missed the 4 tour.
Does anybody know the date of this show?
Lou mentions 9/11 but they all look so young.
At least Lou and Mick do.
Also, wasn't Lou long gone from the band by the 2,000s ?
MRGuitargeorgie June 19, 1993.
+MRGuitargeorgie I think the "911" reference ("...because this is an emerrrrgency!") was an introduction to the next song, which I'm guessing was "Urgent."
Matthew Ross Correct!

Whateva...lol!
@mindtalking Hatin' on Foreigner, what else?
@EFLRR96 Yeah, you got that right, they should rename it Jan Wenner's Hall of Fame because if you are on his shitlist, you won't get in. I saw the list of those blackballed and it's ridiculous: Kiss, Foreigner, Linda Ronstadt, Emerson Lake and Palmer, WTF?
@METALMULISHA8462 Pssst, it wasn't them.
LOU GRAMM IS STILL THE BEST LEAD SINGER!! NO SUBS!!
Was the problem fixed? I'm laffin' hard.
@cryptsub what are you doing here then?
look how healthy lou grahm was there
It is a travesty...them and Pat Benetar ...it's all politics. There are bands in the R&R hall of fame that can't even shine these people shoes.
Yeah really they do..The board was created by Rolling Stone !! That guy refuses to let alot of the 80's bands in,A board my ass when 1 guy controls and makes those kind of decisions.Rock and Roll hall of Shame is what it really is
Can people boycott something they don't buy anyway?
Thinking more like the early 80's. Microphones are too old for 90's
I don't get it
@AustinDeM LIMP LIMP LIMP - that is lame-ass rock
@cryptsub people are allowed to have their own opinion... but sir, your opinion is wrong :-/
@AustinDeM the stuff in the 70s and 80s was Zeppelin, ACDC, Rush, Van Halen, The Who, and I won't even try to explain punk rock to you. Foreigner is bitch rock. You should know better than to feed the trolls.
