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
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 .
@@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 😁👍
There is something so genuin about the timber of Grahams vocals. Besides the fact that he is totally killing it with his energy, pitch, and rytmical perfection. The epitome of a stadium rock vocalist. He is the voice of Foreigner without a doubt. Impossible to be replaced. A legend and a voice of a generation.
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.
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!
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.
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.
The saxophonist is worth his weight in gold. He's played with many of the top artists. At least, I recognize him from other videos. Just a fantastic performer.
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
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
Le batteur est incroyable en mettant des contres temps sur la la.rythmique, donnant une autre dimension et du boost... Chose qu on ne voit pas sur la version studio.
I was the 'singer' in a band with my brother back in the 80s, this is exactly how i perceived my vocals, unfortunatly I was alone in this perception or deception, a boy can dream, Lou Gramm rocks, one of the greats, not too sure about I want to know what love is though, still it worked big time.
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.
Lou Gramm and Foreigner nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2024
Let’s goooo!! Shoulda been in 20 years ago
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
Absolutely,what a shame! Super Tramp too!
About time
No one sings like this anymore
This is one of the greatest live versions of any song EVER
This is a rock band. This is a rock song. This is the best voice ever heard in rock music history.
Blew out my car stereo speakers on the Foreigner 4 Album in 1982!!!
Love the Sax!!!
There are very few rocking saxophone solos in life...
JUNIOR WALKER KICKS SERIOUS ASS
Pretty sure that’s Mark Rivera. He still plays with Billy Joel
That Sax lives on a different level.
The band is great, the sax is no doubt incredible, the drummer perfectly knows his job and the Lou's vocals is so bright, the band is perfect...
get your ears checked. he had so many bad notes.
Sorry mate u don’t know what ur talking about it’s one of the best live tracks ever👍
@@slipperyjohnson7016You need hearing aids.
this band should be in the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame.
The Real Foreigner !
Lou was one of the most underated rock and roll singers of all time. Amazing range and delivery.
That sax solo might be the best one I ever heard.
The best live performance period
That's one Night not one person will ever forget. ❤.
No song would be this beautiful and famous if it weren't for the voice and interpretation of Lou Gramm the best.
How are these guys not in the hall of fame? All the hits and Lou’s powerhouse rock vocals. What a great band!

The RRHOF is cold as ice.
@Matthew Janicak Well said !! 100% on target. I'd say they're "Lowdown and dirty" lol 😆
@@waltersimmons946 Exactly. Such a shame that they're willing to sacrifice our love for this great band.
@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 .
Masterpiece. Sweet saxophone, pounding drums, powerful guitar, incredible bass rip and superior live vocals!
ANYONE that watches this and doesn’t think LG was the heart and soul of Foreigner in terms of vocals doesn’t understand his genius!!!!
Of course we understand his genius. Watch the whole Dortmund concert. It is the best ever.
Play those drums Dennis Elliott!!! I love it!! ❤
Lou ....one the best hard rock singers of all time
Top band . Thank god l can still listen to music like this.
One of my favorite bands and singers.
Foreigner 4 was one of the albums to have in the early 80s. Lou Gramm is a beast!
When the band lost Lou Grahm, the band itself was lost forever and never recovered.
Lou Gramm's vocal intensity is unreal and just matchless here. Throw in this sax and you got the best live version of 'Urgent'.
Oh yes, the saxophone, and of course Lou's voice. Just an amazing match!!! Thank you for this.
I can't help but think this is one of the finest live performances of all time.
Live in Germany - just for that !!💪💪🎷🎷👍👍
Totally agree!! 🧨🧨🧨
Yes it is!!!
Lou Graham and Brad delp are the best 70 sand 80 s vocalist ever
Best version of the song without a doubt and easily they're most underrated
Lou Gramm's voice is DEFINITELY one of the best in rock music!
Fueron los mejores los 80 x mi madre q pulenta era mi favorito toda la vida foraigner la vivo
Are you alive?
Amen
Yes, it sure used to be.
Yes I agree ☺️
Hands down the best recorded live version of this song. The entire band was on fire 🔥 Bravo!
I was lucky enough to see them on this tour. Amazing memories.
Agreed 😱
It's unbelievably great!

Love how Lou tells Mark to come down and play his sax…always made sure to let EVERYONE on stage have their time to shine❤
Oh liebe Gott! Was für eine wunderbare Stimme!
Yup,yes
Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big round of applause to Mr. Lou Grahm on lead vocals!!!
phambo101 Lou GRAMM!!!
He cannot be replaced.
❤❤❤👌👏👏👏
Nice one
i sure will the best vocalist from this band and this is my fav by them rock on lou
40 years & it still sounds great. Timeless music
One of the great rock voices.
Best sax solo
One of my favorite songs. Yes , Lou and Foreigner for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2024 !
Love this song, Love the whole band here. Lou is the Best!!!❤❤❤
Lou Gram has such a powerful voice!! One of a kind!!
Ty vole, já byl na vojně ve Vyškově. To byl mazec. Poslouchal jsem to denně z kazetami. Dodnes to mám v hlavě. Je mi 61.
Lou Gramm best! I am from Russia and I listened foreinger in 1982, and is now happy to listen. I returned to my youth!
Am happy to have grown up with bands like foreigner, amazing music
I would have been there but I live in Canada and they don't allow 2 year olds at rock concerts at least in 1982. 😅
Golden era of this band. Just rocked with this line up.

Foreigner clearly on the top of their game here....
without a doubt, killing it
Excelente solo de Saxofón del Maestro Mark Rivera ...mis respetos y gran admiración...!
Incredible energy
Avevo 14 anni e già li ascoltavo
This Foreigner was gold it belongs in the hall of Fame!
finally made it there 2024
The real Foreigner!, Unforgetable :).
bingre Unforgettable*

I totally agree..Rock God..❤❤❤
Exactly 🥰

I was very fortunate to attend their concert in Seattle on the Double Vision Tour in 1978.
My man is rockin that sax!!!

@@TroyHill442 You don’t get to his level of success by not taking it seriously.
And having raw talent too. No amount of training will give you a great voice. @@spacejockey4746

.Mr.Lou Gramm has a very fantastic and gritty voice.
He is one of a kind.
Spectacular.
What an awesome story. Glad you recovered . Greetings from Canada !!
That's amazing, Cindy. We're all glad you're still with us.
I'm gonna win🗽
My dad was stationed in Heidelberg at that time. I was only 10, but I remember… it made going to events in Germany tense for my parents.
Never again will there be a voice like Lou, he is unique!
Little did they know they were making history with such an awesome live rendition
Lou Gramm has a spectacular voice. Lou can not be replaced.

Best rocking voice ever,Long Live the Man And the Legend.Lou Gramm

Rock and roll always rocks harder with saxophones
Great tune, one of many. Those Dortmund folks were lucky to have see this one!
This is a ROCK BAND.

Have to make another comment.
What an amazing use of the saxophone.
Самая обожаемая мною песня группы на века !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing voice Lou Gramm
Wow just wow!!!
The live version is much much better.
Wow! Does music get any better than this? Best classic rock song ever❤

My favorite Band when I was young, wow 41 Years ago. Still rocks.
My favorite foreigner song
The best live performance with the original band I’ve ever heard. So badass. Loved this band. Thank you!
Lou Gramm is definitely a badass..he can rock hard but then also sound romantic and smooth..he excels in both styles .a true genius of voice.😊❤🎉
