Good....But
How can a Foreigner live album not have Hot Blooded on it?
The addition of Hot Blooded and Blue Morning, Blue Day would have made this more apealing to me. I'm surprised that, while most of the albums are showcased with two or more songs on this disc, there's only one song from one of their best albums - Double Vision. .


Foreigner Live CD
Foreigner is one of those rare bands that manages to sound raw and polished all at the same time with their studion recordings. I accidentaly purchased this thinking I was buying a DVD. This allows you to close your eyes and imagine you're listening to a really fabulous LIVE performance. Consequently this live CD, without video, doesn't really add anything, and in fact loses the balance & audio quality of their studio work.


The real deal of Foreigner, not that new fake lineup
This CD features all the members from the first three lineups (the lineups that ACTUALLY RECORDED all those great songs we know and love. As you can see by the review of my title, this is the real deal of Foreigner, not that new fake lineup currently out on tour. ) The performances here are from various concerts from different eras. However, it's all blended together for one killer live experience. The only gripe is that it doesn't have Hot Blooded, but if you want the live version, get Records or the 2002 Double Vision remaster. So, if you want the real deal of Foreigner (with lead singer Lou Gramm), don't waste your time, money and CD rack space on Extended Versions. Buy this CD instead, you won't regret it. .


Where oh where could my Starrider be, of where oh where could it be????
I can not argue with anything being said and love the album and the band. . . . . Foreigner was my favorite band in '77 hitting me hard right away with their debut album and my senior year in high school. I still know all the words to the songs on this album and from time to time sing along with the volume blasting. So, let em see if my "missing song" story will get some notice and get a copy dug up from the Foreigner archives somehow for me. The next year, I heard a Philadelphia radio station play Foreigner in concert and the second hit nailed me upside the head and i almost went down for the count. In this concert, Foreigner played Starrider and what an amazing version they did, extended and adding a long flute solo by Ian McDonald that would knock anyones socks off. The following year i had the opportunity to get tickets for the Double Vision tour and saw them in Philadelphia. Ring a bell? the radio broadcast was from Phila. I heard it there - that amazing extended version with Ian's solo was heard live by me. Over the years i saw Foreigner 3 more times, but never did any of those shows do any Version of Starrider, let alone that awesome version. So. . . . I am still searching. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it will say on my headstone "Died without Ever having Found Peace - Starrider Eluded Him"!!.


Valdosta, GA The Sweetest Town in the World!!!
I make a lotta
love with the town. I think Valdosta, GA is the sweetest town in the world, maybe
the very sweetest and I love everything it's got. I think I would love to live near there.
