@@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.
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.
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.
People have forgotten just how many awesome bands came out of the 70’s-90’s thank God for UA-cam making things so easy to find and enjoy. Lou you still rock👍🏻
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
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.
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'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!
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.

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
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.
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)
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.
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!
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. 😂
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!!!
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!
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.
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!!!!-.-
The best song of the year.. I still remember it- and I think he sounds so amazing still! The passion he puts in this song, you can tell, he loves it- and for this I give great respect.. always, nicer to know someone loves what they are doing/singing and not just doing it for the money.. love you LOU!!
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
Still got it, no studio voice correction, straight in front of audience, true to the core.
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
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.
Really Enjoyed Seeing and Hearing Lou. One of the Best Songs of ALL TIME by Lou Gramm and Foreigner. 👍🙏

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.
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.
I love that song. I still sing it all the time !!
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.
Still a fantastic song after all these years!!
People have forgotten just how many awesome bands came out of the 70’s-90’s thank God for UA-cam making things so easy to find and enjoy. Lou you still rock👍🏻
I can't wait to see him in August on the Party gras tour ❤
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 .
One of if my favorite songs...live it and love you Lou....❤
Legend!
You just witnessed a legend folks!
If u know u know
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
Still from this day Lou gram is my top 5 male rock vocalist of all time!! 👁🙏🏻🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
THE voice of Foreigner. Period.
Great to see and hear him!
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!❤
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!
One of the most iconic voices in rock history.
Just saw Lou in Wabash Indiana. What a great experience. Brought back lots of memories. We loved it! Great band with him too!!!!
The amount of soul in this man is something to behold, thanks Lou keep it cranking!!!🙌🎶🔥👏
Lou's voice = ROCK. Thanks Lou
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!
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!
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?
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
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.
One of the best singers in rock ever
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!
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

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! 😍
74 years old and he can still BRING IT! Way to go, Lou!

SO damn good !!! Never stop rocking, Lou!!!
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 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.
He voice IS Foreigner...without him that band would never have gone anywhere......Lou's voice was the talent in the band.
Yessir 😊
The greatest rock ‘n’ roll voice of all time right there.
He had that 70’s sound drilled down to perfection.
Simply my opinion.
Lou is a MIRACLE MAN! Sounding GREAT!!! Thank you for sharing.
Godamn! Lou still able to crush it at 73!
My GOD that voice! Brings me back to high school.
One of the greatest rock vocalists in history.
I love Lou Graham and Foreigner. He still sounds great. Many good memories of their music, .....a titan in rock music.
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)
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.
WOW!!! After all his health issues, he still sounds amazing!!! Go Lou!!!!
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!
My first concert, November 1981, Foreigner and Billy Squier.
You sir still have it…I’m 62 yrs old and I’m still a fan and will be for life!
Lou has overcome some huge challenges in life to get back to where he is now and it’s pretty amazing…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow remember it like it was yesterday, the memories, the best of times, I want to go back. ❤
Lou even at 40% of what his voice used to be is still amazing!
Lou's lip syncing..(sp ?)..

This is the best therapy for everything he's been through.
One of the greatest voices of our generation. Thanks for the memories and inspiration Lou!
In my opinion, one of the greatest Rock singers ever. Really listen to all his songs.💯👍
A crown jewel voice from our past. TY Sir.
I Love Seeing You Do What You Love Still... No Matter The Past ..You Are Unmatched One Of A Kind!!! Thank You Lou For The Amazinggg Music‼️❤‼️
Good tune. Nice job Lou.
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.
Thank you for restoring Lou after trauma.
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
Good for Lou! One of the best rock voices ever.
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.

Lou you still rock, my man 🎤🤘🏼 Love Midnight Blue
❤ so glad so happy 🫶👏👏👏💪keep rockin' 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.
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.

Wow.... He still has it at 74. Incredible.
I had the pleasure of meeting him recently. He's amazing, humble and kind. It was a privilege to get to watch him perform ❤
….that was real. No ‘auto tune’ bs just 100% Lou. Bad azzz. Keep singing mate 🍻 cheers
Great singer Lou all the best legend God bless you all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸 All let everyone know how great they are Always every where ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
Hello I'm 65 yrs young and you still rocking it one of my favorite sings yeah😊❤
Of course it's Lou Gramm. Do you hear that voice?!?! I have been listening to him since I was a kid. Thanks Lou
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!
Wauwww! Lou still got it! Such a great voice 🙌🙌🙌
Damn, didn't realize I missed this guy so much. Actually brought tears to my eyes hearing this, after all he's been through.
Lou, you've still got it! Best rock voice ever then and now!
He is Foreigner! One of the greatest!🤙🏽😊❤️
Lou has gotten back a lot of his vocal tone and some of his range. He sounds good here.

Greatest song of the decade.

QUALITY NEVER GETS OLD, well play sir
Glad to see Lou is doing well. One of the signature voices of my younger days. I always loved this song, such great memories!
