Took too damn long Same for Stevie Ray that was disgusting They only wanted to nominate Stevie , not the whole band. What a dumpster fire the music hall of fame is
@@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. .
Absolutely. I just went to an authentic Roaring '20s party (meaning the 1920's to clarify) and I had THIS version of 'Urgent' on the playlist to dance to, and it was INCREDIBLE!
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.
@@bogrot69 8 years before I were born, must have been fn awesome! This particular performance is some of the best live performances I've ever seen, so ridiculously spot on! The 80's must have been an awesome time to be alive, at least if you liked good music!
@@MLA1738 My first concert was Queen in 78, I saw Roth era Van Halen three times, Ozzy's first tour with Randy Rhoads, David Bowie multiple times Of course you think nothing of it until years later. I really feel blessed that I happened to come along at that time. Just dumb luck but, I'll take it 😁👍
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.
They ARE NOT in RRHOF because Mick Jones fell out years ago with the people that were involved with the RRHOF. They told him "It'll be a cold day in hell before Foreigner gets in" Lou was already long out of Foreigner, so he had nothing to do with this incident. But he talked about the fall out in his book. Lou said he didn't lose sleep worrying about it.
@Matthew Janicak What's worse, Matthew, is those clowns sacrificed their own intelligence. I heard they were going to put Dolly Parton in the RRHOF, and she's a hill-Billy. I'll stop while I'm ahead .
@@redrocket597 I was born in '57 (recently turned 67) and things have sucked for about half my life (1991-present), so don't feel too bad. I had '60s-80's and that was it.
I totally agree. As a singer, I know all too well how difficult these songs are. The power and punch he has was way above average. He's an incredible vocalist.
Totally. It's those transients. That's all strong diaphragm. Guy could really sing - that's not something you just wake up and can do. That must be developed, it's really quite like developing any other muscle, power and control. It's very evident he took the craft seriously.
That's what the kids of today will be saying in 40 years time about the music their kids are listening to. And they will be just as wrong as you are. Each generation holds their own music dear.
@@johnc3403 naw your wrong this was real music now music is 2 or 3 keys repeated and loop continually add snare and there you go the music from the 1900 till about 1995 were authentic most music now not all but most are created in different levels for the singer just to preform but not all there is still good music just not mainstream
I am a millennial and maybe its partial to me growing up with a father who played foreigner, journey, and boston all the time but I must say I'd much rather have grown up in my fathers time seeing these bands play.
I believe that's Thom Gimbel on sax (awesome) and Mark on drums. correct me if I'm wrong -- Foreigner music will live forever. Nope not Thom Gimbel -- Lou says "Mark ......... please on sax"-- can't hear last name -- anyone? Not in any of the credits anywhere.
Well said .. . . KiwiVent. Undeniably, Foreigner were one of, if not THE biggest band in the world from 1980 - 1985. Urgent if their brilliant "4" album is a good example of this.
Man, those vocals. THAT'S how you sing rock n roll. It's those transients. That's all strong diaphragm. Guy could really sing - that's not something you just wake up and can do. That must be developed, it's really quite like developing any other muscle, power and control. It's very evident he took the craft seriously. That sax 🎷 solo is great, too. A well played tenor sax at the right time in a tune is seriously the sexiest instrument there is. Such a great feel, also perfectly tasteful playing. Forgot to mention, this concert was evidently so loud, you can see the interlacing distortion (the horizontal banding) on the film. It's common on beat 1 of each measure, that's pretty interesting, very cool. Could also be caused by distortion ("dirty power") in the electrical system, maybe from a powerful stage light somewhere each beat 1 sending some distortion into the power rails... I'm a nerd.. I found it fascinating
I had survived serious injuries sustained at the Oktoberfest bombing in Munich West Germany on September 26,1980, and when i heard this song for the first time I knew I was going to make it! What a powerful song! I loved being alive!
Guys, we shall never forget his music genes! His range belongs to the lyric tenor... but it's not everything! He has this fire in his veins! Lou did it with TRUE PASSION, he put it in every song. That's why he is my rock hero No. 1! The only thing that I regret - I could never visit his concert. It was impossible in Russia. Dear Lou! I'm sorry, but you sang in many music styles my fingers are not enough to calculate them. You encouraged stadiums, but you stand "on the ground with both feet" and you are very sentimental and warm-hearted! Thanks for being A NICE MAN, Lou!
You put this so well: he has talent and passion but he is also a truly good man, an inspiration for his dedication to his craft and his beautiful nature. Like you I have never seen Lou in concert (I'm in the UK but always away when Foreigner and Shadow King were here), and I wish for you that you might, one day, be able to get to see him.
@@melelenath Dear Corrine, we pray for peace to see him in Russia, so the future shows it. He discovered my sensual way to write my own poems (I began to do it at the age of 10) and at present I begin to learn to play my electric guitar with one special and dear person to me. Our meeting in social media transformed them into lyrics for possible songs. I even dare dream to show and to present to Lou in Moscow with my bunch of flowers, because he cured my soul with his incredible voice after my friend's death. I like his kindness and his humble human nature. What a souled and generous human being! I wish for you the same from the bottom of my heart! May the civil war will be over to enjoy one special event in Europe, when you can have a chance to see him on the stage and to be impressed! I cry, but I want to believe! P. S. I love not Mick's guitar, sorry. I relied on my intuition. I love the other rocker with sincere guitar playing who has a sensitive soul. He always supported Lou in good and bad times!
@keithcassidy6461 Thought that might be a younger Mark Rivera.? I knew Junior Walker was on the studio version, but gosh he could pass for a much younger M.R....
@@cherylspicer6887 He sure is, Cheryl!! He's one of the best singers ever!! I love his voice!! I wish he were still singing. But, I don't think he is. He had a brain tumor. So sad. God Bless, Lou Gramm!! 💖💖💖
Lou WAS replaced. More than once. Kelly Hansen is the best one though. It's too bad that Lou and Mick ended up not being able to work together. However, Mick is great at recognizing talent and has talented and experienced people in the current incarnation of Foreigner. This, BTW, takes nothing away from Lou by acknowledging this.
@@geerterri I still like and listen to Johnny Edwards(1991 Unusual Heat) Lous first replacement. He not only sounded more like Lou than Kelly. Edwards was also chosen over Kelly Hansen and Mark Free of King Kobra to replace Gramm in 1990 after he officially left Foreigner to go solo but ended up forming SHADOW KING .
People need to understand Lou lost his voice!! Couldnt do these songs anymorecthats why Kelly is doing it move on & get over it & tk be honest does a better job!!
@@michaelbuckley8542 Lou had a brain tumor , had surgery (in 1997)and had to take a lot of medications (12 different things in fact) afterwards for years, the doctor's had finally cut back on things he was taking and yes, he will not be like he was before the tumor 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.
Аз съм почти набор на Лу Гареъм(Луис Граватико). Тона е идола на моето поколение. Няма да променя тона,че обожавам тази музика! Бог да ги благослови и нека той ги пази Forever!!! Благодаря Ви ,че прека ах младостта си със Вашите хесни! Това, не се забравя
I Absolutely Love Lou Gramm...Has to be one of the Greatest Rock Singers Ever...What an amazing voice and his passion really shines through...Best Wishes Always Lou...Jody
I watch this every night before I go to bed could never get sick of this. Real music! Real talented musicians. Lou’s perfect and powerful voice it’s always so good to listen to. I have been a fan of Foreigner ever since I was a only a kid.
I typed "Urgent foreigner live" just to check if Lou Gramm could sing just half as good as he does on the studio version. Oh man, once I was deaf and now I can hear. This voice is pure gold.
@@TheCornellJunkie The people who use this term are really young or they are trying to make themselves sound more knowledgeable than they actually are.
@@xwind1970 That's Mark Rivera (currently with Billy Joel's band) playing sax here. He also played the verses and other flourishes on the original studio recording of this song! (Junior Walker did play the killer sax SOLO on the original recording though...)
If you didn't know that Lou Gramm was the F'N MAN before, you damn well know it now! Man, would I love to go back in time to experience a classic Foreigner concert!
Not to brag--OK, I'm bragging--I saw Foreigner at Madison Square Garden four times (each of their first four albums), and Junior Walker was the sax player on this song during the FOUR tour. Yeah, it was as good as you imagine.
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.
Lou walked on the wild side Hit all the notes LIVE!!!@ The camaraderie between the band ,and like how they gave the sax player his time Solo And gives Lou a small shake passing the baton back to Lou Saying you got this
Lou Gramm and Foreigner nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2024

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.

I Absolutely Love Lou Gramm...Has to be one of the Greatest Rock Singers Ever...What an amazing voice and his passion really shines through...Best Wishes Always Lou...Jody
Iou gam lo mejor es imcomfundible su voz un grande.
Best version of the song without a doubt and easily they're most underrated
Love Lou Gramm he is perfect and beautiful always
Lou Gramm rules!!! Period.
I watch this every night before I go to bed could never get sick of this. Real music! Real talented musicians. Lou’s perfect and powerful voice it’s always so good to listen to. I have been a fan of Foreigner ever since I was a only a kid.
WOW!!! So fortunate I saw Foreigner live many times in the 80s in SoCal.
This is a ROCK BAND.
jurr47 True statement!! Love Foreigner, what a great band!!!
This is my favorite line up right here.
totally agree, a legendary and excellent rock band!!!
@@merequetenge7077 yes indeed
I typed "Urgent foreigner live" just to check if Lou Gramm could sing just half as good as he does on the studio version. Oh man, once I was deaf and now I can hear. This voice is pure gold.
Great Lou. One of the best voice of ever. And this live is......excellent.
"was"
why does Lou always looks like hes about to explode.. coke?
I was very fortunate to attend their concert in Seattle on the Double Vision Tour in 1978.
When was Lou Ever underated? Everyone knows he is the best.
WORD
Underated being thrown around so stupidly everytime
@@TheCornellJunkie The people who use this term are really young or they are trying to make themselves sound more knowledgeable than they actually are.
There will never be another voice like Lou Gramm!
always loved that sax.. never see that anymore
vila salazar You know it’s an ‘80s tune when there’s a sax solo.
HARDEN MY HEART (QUARTER FLASH) is good too !
00:20 Who played the Saxophone for the band in 1982?
@@xwind1970 That's Mark Rivera (currently with Billy Joel's band) playing sax here. He also played the verses and other flourishes on the original studio recording of this song! (Junior Walker did play the killer sax SOLO on the original recording though...)
@@giorgiocanaliwithlove1919 such a great song!!
Esse som é maravilhoso.❤❤🎷🎷🎷🎸🎸👏👏👏😍😍🇧🇷
If you didn't know that Lou Gramm was the F'N MAN before, you damn well know it now! Man, would I love to go back in time to experience a classic Foreigner concert!
Yeah. I mean they weren't AC/DC or Metallica or Guns but they weren't bad for a pop band
@@tonyiacomi4822 Not a pop band. They were a rock band that had crossover appeal. The first 3 albums especially were pure rock albums.
@@MarcusFenix50 I agree
Not to brag--OK, I'm bragging--I saw Foreigner at Madison Square Garden four times (each of their first four albums), and Junior Walker was the sax player on this song during the FOUR tour. Yeah, it was as good as you imagine.
STILL I LOVE THE FOREIGNER...LOU MARK AN OF COURSE THE AMAZING GUITARRISTS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lou Gramm is an inspiration to any singer. Hope he teaches one day.
One of my favorite songs ever.

this band should be in the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame.
They are in!!!!
Golden era of this band. Just rocked with this line up.
❤❤❤ my favourite band Forever ,Lou Gramm the best ❤❤
Foreigner 4 was one of the albums to have in the early 80s. Lou Gramm is a beast!
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.
Such unbelievable rocking artists.
Wow! Does music get any better than this? Best classic rock song ever❤
Saxophone is unbelievable sound, emotions and sends🙏🙏🙏Thank you
This is immense yeess class. Everything about this live version is brilliant.
❤❤❤ Well, it doesn't get more intense than this one. Love it still in 2024🎉
Lou walked on the wild side
Hit all the notes LIVE!!!@
The camaraderie between the band ,and like how they gave the sax player his time Solo
And gives Lou a small shake passing the baton back to Lou
Saying you got this
Awesomeness Lou your the best vocalist ever in history ❤️ 02-15-2023 I miss this good days of pure loving music 👏🏻
