@@BrookeClay-q7m what generation is that? I'm 50, he was very good when he was 50, but it's awfully hard to sustain the range he had, had. I wasn't commenting on his career, just that performance was bad.
There aren't even any of the original Foreigner Band members left. It's nothing but a cover band. That being said, I could listen to Lou Gramm all day and night long.
1987 I'm 27 years old and in the prime of my life. Loved Foreigner but the way it all went down with Lou pissed me off. I bought his cd when it first came out and I heard this song I got goose bumps. And when I hear it today at 64 I get those same goose bumps. Lou, you're the greatest lead vocalist of a generation. Thanx for the tunes dude.

I didn't really appreciate Lou's voice until foreigner came to my home town in the 90s . I remember thinking to myself , can he teally be that good . Yep He is .
This brings back great memories……driving my car, just cruising around and midnight blue comes on and you instantly have to crank it up…..gosh I loved the 80’s
People have forgotten just how many awesome bands came out of the 70’s-90’s thank God for RUclips making things so easy to find and enjoy. Lou you still rock👍🏻
I'll be damned!!!! He's still got it! I've got to be honest, with his age, and past health issues, I would have thought his talent would have slipped a little bit. But not at all! He hit every note!!! I'm beyond happy for Lou Gramm - he deserves a second coming!
Had a stroke!!?? OMG!! Lou didn’t have a stoke! He had a brain tumor some 27 yrs ago and it wreaked havoc with him recovery wise for years!! Poor guy! Unbelievable he sings this good!! True WARRIOR!
I remember it well. Midnight Blue was my favourite song in 1987. I used to play it on max volume in my beautiful Datsun 260Z, scream it out for all to hear, haha.
Lou IS Foreigner! We love you brother! You still have it, WHAT A VOICE MY MAN! What they did to you, turns my stomach! Thank you for all you have given us.
The amazing part his the man has been through hell and worked is butt off to get back to this place in time, where he can sing like this. Much respect.
The iconic voice of a generation.......he defined what a great rock singer was all about. Midnight Blue proved emphatically that he could do it without Foreigner. By contrast..Foreigner never had a hit song without Lou Gramm. Class act.
Just LOVE all of these comments, giving Lou a ton of love, respect, and their gratefulness for him sharing his talent. Saw him Solo in Rochester, this year, what a great show. Lou you are the BEST! You and Steve Perry made the late 70s and 80s AWESOME!
This man has been thru so much. Apparently true rock stardom does not answer all one's questions or needs. As beat up as he is, bless him for still putting it out there. (btw, this was a very cool song)
I was amazed and so happy for him. He has gained back almost all of that classic Lou Gramm sound. Hopefully he won't retire like he has hinted. What great karma it would be for Mick to completely hang it up, and have Lou soldier on for a few more years. 😂
My 1st lp was Double Vision, giving to me for a Christman present along with a cheap record player. It was 1978 I was in the 5th grade and 10 years old. Thanks' mom.
It's crazy and amazing at the same time that it seems his singing voice is getting a second life. That brain tumor totally ravaged his health, and frankly, i didn't see him coming back from it. He's not romping around stage like he did in his 30's, but who among us does now? He puts his effort into the vocals. A really awesome rendition of his solo classic!!!
Way to go Lou! When Lou was with Foreigner, my brother David toured and managed the sound equipment on several Foreigner tours...including the Head Games tour, the Double Vision Tour, and Foreigner 4 tour... whenever the band came to San Diego, we got backstage passes and I got to meet the band several times. Over the years, brother David toured with many other bands as well and we got the same backstage treatment, including the J. Geils Band, Blue Oyster Cult, Journey, INXS, and Aldo Nova to name a few... What I remember most about Foreigner is that Lou Gramm was always present backstage and gracious to talk to us "mortals" like a normal guy... with the other bands, it was usually the band members MINUS the lead singers - who were usually absent and preferring to be left alone in their trailers, etc. Lou - was and still is one of the greats - both on and off stage!!! So glad to hear Lou sounding so good again after battling health issues!
Saw Foreigner Saturday 23 ,1978 in El Paso Texas for 7.50 + service fee 1.50 under 😮 10.00 dollars!?! For a great super fantastic 🎉show played all their hits to that point. Played for about 2.30 hours!!! Those were the good old concert 🎶 days. 😢miss those days!!!!-.-
My favourite sing in 1987. I was 21 at the time and used to play it loud in my Datsun 260Z and sing along trying to match Loue's vocals. Great times! Amazing to see he's still rocking at 74! Thanks for the memories, Lou!
YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF COURAGE , GRIT , AND NEVER GIVE UP , PERSONIFIED. YOU ARE LIVING LIFE YOUR WAY AND DOING WHAT YOU HAVE LOVED SINCE YOU WERE A YOUNG BOY , WHICH IS SINGING AND PERFORMING . I RESPECT THE HELL OUT OF THAT AND I RESPECT YOU EVEN MORE . UNTIL THE END OF TIME . I WILL ALWAYS LOVE LOU GRAMM FOREVER
Still got it, no studio voice correction, straight in front of audience, true to the core.
Good to see Lou out there doing his thing. One of the best, keep rocking Lou 👍
he just said hes quitting end of the year
You're a National Hero, Lou!!
Rock On ! 😎
Lou Gramm is the best vocalist of my generation!
That would be Steve Perry! But I love LG too, great memories!
WAS, that was painfully bad
@@MICHAELHUMPHREY-bh4hf No, his voice isn’t what it once was. But he will always be remembered as one of my generation’s greatest vocalists.

My generation. I’m 51, and I don’t believe that one performance erases a full career. None of us are as good as we once were. @@MICHAELHUMPHREY-bh4hf
Really Enjoyed Seeing and Hearing Lou. One of the Best Songs of ALL TIME by Lou Gramm and Foreigner. 👍🙏
Holy cow, I'm speechless!! Not much for his stage presence, but wow, listen to this man sing, totally every bit as great as in the 80's. Amazing!!
I wouldn’t go that far, he was phenomenal then but it’s still very very good considering his age.
He did a great job here.😊❤🎉
Lou Gramm made Foreigner famous. Their not the same without him.
Absolutely true. And this song is one of the best solo artist songs ever. Amazing how good he still sounds.
There aren't even any of the original Foreigner Band members left. It's nothing but a cover band. That being said, I could listen to Lou Gramm all day and night long.
They never would have got as far as they did without that voice.
And neither is your spelling
*They're or They are. Not their.

Indeed 👍🏼
Would have been Foreigner's biggest song....oh well it's Lou's biggest!
Amazing , time travel thru music.
We got to hear so much great music. About to be 67.
He is an amazing singer one of the best. Check out the first album if you haven't.
There is NO "Foreigner" without Lou Gramm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simple as that..............
My opinion exactly. I think the same way about the band Journey.
Both are basically cover bands@@mikeh.753
@@mikeh.753 And no Styx without Dennis DeYoung, no Boston without Brad Delp, no Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, no Genesis wothout Phil Collins (and older fans will say without Peter Gabriel), and most importantly NO QUEEN WITHOUT FREDDIE MERCURY.
The Foreigner of today is just another cover band... You are so right!!!
Most definitely! There is no Journey without Steve ''The Voice'' Perry either! 😍
I love that song. I still sing it all the time !!
I can't wait to see him in August on the Party gras tour ❤
Still a fantastic song after all these years!!
Great to see and hear him!

Still from this day Lou gram is my top 5 male rock vocalist of all time!! 👁🙏🏻🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
THE voice of Foreigner. Period.

Umm, he has definitely slipped.....
@@michaelbrill6609And you're definitely a smart a$$...
@@dino9395 just speaking truth, that's all......
@michaelbrill6609 The man is 74 years old! I think you'll be slipping at that age also!
He did slip a little, but only a little. For the most part he sounds decent. Can he still do a full gig?
Just saw Lou in Wabash Indiana. What a great experience. Brought back lots of memories. We loved it! Great band with him too!!!!
74 years old and he can still BRING IT! Way to go, Lou!
One of if my favorite songs...live it and love you Lou....❤
Lou even at 40% of what his voice used to be is still amazing!
Lou's lip syncing..(sp ?)..
@@christinecatt8039 D/A
SO damn good !!! Never stop rocking, Lou!!!
Top five greatest rock singers of all time Lou Gramm
For sure…the others are up for debate but he’s definitely up there..he sounds very good here…
Lou is top 5 if not number one. He can sing everyone else’s songs…can they sing his?
That is being generous
I want your other top 4 ,
@@ChrisGonzales-t4i Steve Perry, Jimi Jamison, Freddy Mercury and Michael McDonald

Had a stroke!!?? OMG!! Lou didn’t have a stoke! He had a brain tumor some 27 yrs ago and it wreaked havoc with him recovery wise for years!! Poor guy! Unbelievable he sings this good!! True WARRIOR!
Still sounding good at 74. He was 37 when that song came out in 1987... which also is 37 years ago.
I remember it well. Midnight Blue was my favourite song in 1987. I used to play it on max volume in my beautiful Datsun 260Z, scream it out for all to hear, haha.
Lou IS Foreigner! We love you brother! You still have it, WHAT A VOICE MY MAN! What they did to you, turns my stomach! Thank you for all you have given us.
Amen !
Watched the new Foreigner singer a couple years ago wasn't impressed.
Yes!❤
Legend!
You just witnessed a legend folks!
If u know u know
One of rock's greatest vocalists!! So glad he is finally getting into the rock and roll hall of fame with his back up band Foreigner!!!!
Yes!!! It’s about time too!
Lou's voice = ROCK. Thanks Lou
The amount of soul in this man is something to behold, thanks Lou keep it cranking!!!🙌🎶🔥👏
Sounds like Lou! So many old timers sadly lose the character in their voices. Lou has still got it!
Absolutely! Same for Glenn Hughes
The amazing part his the man has been through hell and worked is butt off to get back to this place in time, where he can sing like this. Much respect.

He voice IS Foreigner...without him that band would never have gone anywhere......Lou's voice was the talent in the band.
Yessir 😊
So good to see him. We all get old and that ain’t no crime. I just am honored to be on the planet at the same time as such jukebox heroes. Bravo!
One of the best singers in rock ever
Lou is 100% genuine star. Billion dollar vocal chords.
My first concert, November 1981, Foreigner and Billy Squier.
Good tune. Nice job Lou.
I love Lou Graham and Foreigner. He still sounds great. Many good memories of their music, .....a titan in rock music.
I grew up with Foreigner. Great awesome times.
I grew up changing the channel every time they came on. Foreigner and their ilk were the beginning of the end for rock music.
The greatest rock ‘n’ roll voice of all time right there.
He had that 70’s sound drilled down to perfection.
Simply my opinion.
WOW!!! After all his health issues, he still sounds amazing!!! Go Lou!!!!
My GOD that voice! Brings me back to high school.
Just LOVE all of these comments, giving Lou a ton of love, respect, and their gratefulness for him sharing his talent. Saw him Solo in Rochester, this year, what a great show.
Lou you are the BEST!
You and Steve Perry made the late 70s and 80s AWESOME!

Wow remember it like it was yesterday, the memories, the best of times, I want to go back. ❤
In my opinion, one of the greatest Rock singers ever. Really listen to all his songs.💯👍
Hello I'm 65 yrs young and you still rocking it one of my favorite sings yeah😊❤
Lou has overcome some huge challenges in life to get back to where he is now and it’s pretty amazing…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lou is a MIRACLE MAN! Sounding GREAT!!! Thank you for sharing.
This is the best he's sounded in years. Night and day from where he was even a couple of years ago. Keep going Lou.
He's back to his original voice. What an inspiration!
I was amazed and so happy for him. He has gained back almost all of that classic Lou Gramm sound. Hopefully he won't retire like he has hinted. What great karma it would be for Mick to completely hang it up, and have Lou soldier on for a few more years. 😂
That's what I thought too from his first note I was like wow
My 1st lp was Double Vision, giving to me for a Christman present along with a cheap record player. It was 1978 I was in the 5th grade and 10 years old. Thanks' mom.
Always loved this song but, watching Gramm on stage reminds me how fucking old I’ve become. Age sucks: FACT!
Yes it does! What a pisser!
Beats the alternative...
Life is a dream you are actually eternal.
Youth is only temporary and looks fade in time BUT, ROCK AND ROLL LIVES FOREVER!
74yo and still nailing it! 😎
Lou you still rock, my man 🎤🤘🏼 Love Midnight Blue
It's crazy and amazing at the same time that it seems his singing voice is getting a second life. That brain tumor totally ravaged his health, and frankly, i didn't see him coming back from it.

This is the best therapy for everything he's been through.
Lou sounds darn good! Better than a few years back! He got back a lot of what he lost for a while! Fantastic!
im from rochester been followin Lou for over 50 yrs
DANG....You might have me beat by a few years!!!! Rock On!
Born and Bread Rochester alumni love Lou and Seabreeze!
WNY girl here, I remember when he was in Blacksheep and played at McVan's.
See ya in st charles on December 5th Lou ! Ben a fan since 77.
Yeah Lou you still Got It!!! I loved Foreigner when I first heard them way back then, and I'd see Lou again in concert.
A crown jewel voice from our past. TY Sir.

The lead singers most likely needed vocal rest after the concerts
Of course it's Lou Gramm. Do you hear that voice?!?! I have been listening to him since I was a kid. Thanks Lou
Takes me back to my childhood.
The 80s were a great time to grow up
In every way, shape, and form. This is, that provenance.
Beautiful man you got the sound back sounding great man
One of the greatest voices of our generation. Thanks for the memories and inspiration Lou!
He still sounds good! I miss the 80s music.
My lord! I had forgotten about this song!! And how good it is!!
Man I love Lou! Foreigner was nothing without him, now they are a cover band
This plus all comments really brought back some awesome memories! 61 now. Lou was Foreigner
Love this !!! ❤

Wauwww! Lou still got it! Such a great voice 🙌🙌🙌
Mr. Gramm was handed a bad deal healthwise in life but thankfully he's still here to keep giving us all great memories.
What happened?
@@jamesscheidt4278 In 1997 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor for which he had miracle surgery.
❤ so glad so happy 🫶👏👏👏💪keep rockin' Lou!!! 💖
