KEEP ON ROCKIN


Starrider was a song I never paid attention to for 30 years but after listening to this song live, I was like WOW! what the hell was I missing?

All of the songs are pretty much extended by a minute or two with extra lead solos and improvs. Only a 10 song live compilation but evey song sounded killer - excellent production, the new vocalist did sound alot like Lou (not taking anything away from Lou since he was always one of my favorites) and the band was real tight. A nice treat of JUKE BOX HERO/WHOLE LOTTA LOVE medley thrown in there because of Jason Bonham.

I'm glad I own it and if you are still a FOREIGNER fan since '78, you should own it also.


Foreigner still ROCKS!
They were awesome. I just saw the Foreigner concert here in California. The new singer sounded a lot like Lou Gramm, and the band members are excellent musicians. Mick Jones still is rocking hard, even though he is in his sixties! This CD, recorded in Las Vegas in 2005, represents the concert I saw last month. It's a very strong set list of all their greatest hits from the past 30 years. If you liked Foreigner in the past, check out this CD. The recording quality is great, the band is really tight, and the crowd adds even more excitement to an already excellent show. Some may say this is not really Foreigner because of new members in the band, Mick Jones being the only original member, but I don't care. I'm glad Foreigner is still touring. Buy this CD. You won't be sorry!.


Fabulous Foreigner!
Hearing that amazing sound up close and personal was mind blowing and they quickly became one of my favorite bands through the years. One of my most memorable moments of my life was being front row center at a Foreigner concert in the 80's. I happened to catch them on a New Year's Eve special and saw how the band is all new with the exception of Mick Jones, founding member. I didn't expect to hear what I did. The sound was just as fabulous as I remembered and their new lead singer has a powerful sound that takes Lou Gramm's vocals to a new and stronger level. This CD has many of the songs you probably already own on a Foreigner album but is still worth picking up. The live songs and new voices will make you fall in love with them again.


Love it!
Although it mostly meant seeing AC live, it was actually Foreigner that took the stage by force and never let me go during or after the show. I went to see the Legends of Rock show with Alice Cooper and Foreigner in December 2007 when they came to Riga, Latvia. They simply blew my mind that night while AC couldn't hold a single note right.

But enough about that. The sound of the CD is great, the band is rocking hard, you can feel the audience going crazy, and the song list contains Foreigner's best material. Most of the songs sound much heavier compared with studio recordings and some of them are real gems. Starrider, Dirty White Boy, and Juke Box Hero (with Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love as a part of it) make you wanna listen to them over and over again. On top of all that, I Want To Know What Love Is heard so many times before sounds fresh and very heartfelt here with audience singing along throughout the song.

In a word, it's hard to find a better Foreigner CD out there. It is and feels GREAT to listen to. Highly recommended.

They were great.

I saw them a month ago in Oregon.
The CD is just what I wanted.
