Props and much respect to John Waite for declaring at the 19:12 mark that "we have no brass section, orchestra or backup singers and we are on a budget" etc. and then just banging it out live with no lip synching, no running backing tracks or any smoke and mirrors! They could easily cheat and enhance the sound and harmonies with a cheap laptop but unlike many bands nowadays have chosen not to fake it. Thats worth the price of admission right there! A live show should be a live show!
If you're going to call out tribute bands, then you might as well include Styx. Only one member is original and that's J.Y Young, who sang Miss America. The original bass player Chuck Panozzo comes out for a song or two. Technically, you can actually name a number of bands today that are tribute bands with maybe one or two original members.
@@mohlman5411 True. They were always Mick Jones' band, anyway, and he was in right up until he couldn't do it anymore. I can understand finding it hard to listen to them minus Gramm, but he's been gone for a long time now.
@@leekinanus7409 I agree. Most people believe Shaw's presence in Styx was from the very beginning since their popularity was due mostly because of his contributions.

John Waite Rocks .as a musician myself see his value.saw him outdoor concert downtown Orlando around 2012. Great entertainer and has a great band.he is solid
Kelly Hanson has been the lead singer for years. Just because Jones isn't with them doesn't make it a tribute band. Hanson is more capable for performing than Jones anyway. Keep rockin' Foreigner!
I agree. You're going to pay a high price for this tribute band. There's a band called Double Vision that is a tribute band and they sound great. I think they sound better than this Foreigner band. The tribute band called Double Vision has tickets at a much lower price than these guys. In fact, it only cost me $66 for the Double Vision Foreigner cover band, and they sound just as good if not better. You can search for Double Vision on UA-cam and watch their performance at Daryl's House. If you play at Daryl's House, you've got to be good! LOL
@@6345788Since they only play songs from before Kelly Hansen and Jeff Pilson I would say that yes they are a tribute band. If they played some songs from "Can't Slow Down" then you may be able to argue that they aren't a tribute band, but when nobody in the band originally played on any of the songs in their setlist that makes them a tribute band.
Indeed, but the original could never sound this good 40 plus years later. Appreciate it. BTW I seen the original band for 8 bucks, along with Travers and the Rails.
Styx playing Lorelei and the oldies set list is freaking awesome. Open with Grand Illusion, then Lady next. Clearly throwing bones to the die hards. Major props since most bands who have been out of the spotlight for a while feel compelled to play hits for fan engagement. Makes me want to catch a show if they get close.
I agree with all the John Waite fans, Foreigner and Styx are shells of once great bands. As for John Waite, his voice has aged very well. The Doctor would have been there but I would have left after John's show. Plus the fans seem to not know that they are seeing a living legend.
Last time I saw STYX was before the pandemic. I saw them twice in one week in 2 different states. Looks like a different guitarist and drummer once again. I actually saw Dennis De young a few times and I swear his show was way better than a STYX concert
Interesting that Ricky Phillips who played bass in John Waite’s Babys back in the day just recently retired as Styx’s touring bass player after many years with the band.
Gowan in ear monitors must not be loud enough because he sounded flat a lot of the time. Still a great show though. Foreigner needs to retire. No orig members voids their right to be called Foreigner.
Dennis Deyoung was a showman and was Styx. He's not there and it's not something I'm going to pay to see. Gratefully I saw them numerous times in the 70s when they were in their prime. Just my opinion. Don't hate me
Might not be the original Foreigner but it was a really good show. Should've played a Dokken song since Jeff Pilson is probably the longest standing member.
Saw them at the HOB many moons ago with Jason Bonham on skins. I thought it was interesting that Pilson was playing bass and Kelly Hansen from Hurricane was singing…80’s metal musicians. Mick Jones was still rocking on guitar then.
@@simonajugarih3620 A tribute band is a cover band fella. They just choose to cover one bands music. So why not have a some fun with it? Plus Pilson actually played on those Dokken records. Don't be a sour puss.
@@RyGuyLikesFrenchFry ok, look it upp, a cover band plays different bands' music, a tribute band plays only one band's music. Get it? So, they are a tribute band now, if they play Dokken, that makes them a cover band.
@@RyGuyLikesFrenchFryKelly makes the audience think it's the same band up there since 1977 and the same band being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, at that point of the show he needs to point out not one of them on that stage sang or played on any one of Foreigner's hits.
I have all the baby's music along with both Bad English albums & everything John Waite has done in his solo career. So awesome to see him still putting on a great show. Class act all the way!
2 great classic rock and Roll bands who always put on a great show. Tommy Shaw an amazing singer. All great musicians. Thank you for entertaining us with great music to bee bop to
I used to sneak in my Kodak disc camera to concerts cuz it was small. 1 roll of film took 15 pictures. And it was an inexpensive camera so if security took it, it was no big deal. Now half the people watch the show thru their 3 inch screen.
John Waite turns 72 in early July and he looks and sounds amazing. Whow! Without Mick Jones and Lou Gramm it just isn't Foreigner. These guys are just keeping great songs alive in our memory bank. Singing old Styx songs without Dennis DeYoung just isn't right.
Jon is washed completely a snooze fest of zero energy...sad, Foreigner is kicking ass covering the tunes and Styx is Amazing, Dennis quit and is a d bag lol
McGowan is so good, I gotta say I don't miss DeYoung near as much as I would Tommy or JY. He sounds like he's pretty insufferable anyway, and the band is far happier without. Kinda like Skid Row and Bach.
Ty for posting this. I had plans to see the show last night and they were scuttled at last minute. Foreigner and Styx were the 'soundtrack' of my late teens and early twenties. Getting to watch your generous upload healed my FOMO. Great job.
I saw John Waite a few months ago. His voice was amazing. Really tight band. When they broke into Whole Lotta Love it blew me away. Music just isn't they way it used to be.
Styx still brings it through to the inspired performances of the actual songs they've made a part of the rock lexicon. Waite was pretty much a journeyman solo dude after The Babys and he can still bring it from both eras if at a more mature clip. Foreigner may, at times, sound right but somethings off. I think it is in the case of Foreigner a pure money grab. Save for Lou and lynchpin Mick they were never too much of a "face" band, but even so this just has a kind of hollow feel. I don't mean to be negative, but if I saw them I wouldn't feel like saying I just saw Foreigner. A good tribute band in my reckoning, but in no way Foreigner.
I'm 64. loved Styx back in the day. However, I can't watch all the bands that I loved as a teen preform nowadays. They are washed up and should just ride off into the sunset!!!! I prefer to watch videos of them back in the heyday!!!!
With Tommy Shaw, Styx is still as good as the past. Its amazing how they went on without DeYoung. Deyong was and is still amazing, but Styx have did just fine without him, and Shaw taking over. Get over it and enjoy how great Styx still is.
That's the great thing about them still touring. You can sit home in your underwear and listen to your old 8 tracks and I can go sit out on the lawn in a warm summer evening and listen to some kick ass live music! It's a win - win!!
@@zimfan101 I saw Peter Frampton in 2007 jamming with the Cincinnati Symphony. So I'm not against watching "old" rockers perform. I'm soon to be 65! As a matter of fact. I have watched many a Styx concerts when they were much older! I guess I came across as not liking any band in their older years! Sorry! There is nothing like the 70's rock band my friend! ROCK ON !
Styx playing Lorelei and the oldies set list is freaking awesome. Open with Grand Illusion, then Lady next. Clearly throwing bones to the die hards. Major props since most bands who have been out of the spotlight for a while feel compelled to play hits for fan engagement. Makes me want to catch a show if they get close.
I was looking forward to catching this tour in August @ Virginia Beach Amphitheater. That ain't happening after watching this. No Mick Jones makes this version of Foreigner nothing more then tribute band. Terrible! As for Styx , ok sound Tommy Shaw rocked but Lawrence Gowan stage presence is just to much lol. I will be skipping event.
Only interested in the great John Waite but sadly his backup band doesn't rock hard enough to do The Babys material properly. I do appreciate the upload.
I was at the Budweiser stage a few days ago in Toronto Canada to see John Waite and foreigner those two were the opening acts for Styx I sure did see Styx at the Budweiser stage in Toronto on June 14
Foreigner had great songs back in the day but not one person on that stage was on those recordings…not one. I saw them about 10 years ago and at least Mick Jones performed at that show.
Um...check your ticket! 3rd Eye Blind is on a completely different tour and playing today (June 25th) with Yellowcard & Arizona. John Waite will be playing, with the other bands, tomorrow (June 26th)
Waite, no backups.....a crime. Also embarrassing tiny drum kit. Huge no no for me. Foreigner, saw them in the 70's. So, still play that 78 Rainbow dvd to remember how lethal Dennis was on drums. Styx, seen them in the 70's. Amazing back then. Back then.
John Waite sounds good...sorta. Personally, I get annoyed when the singer in a band feels the need to sing EVERY line differently than the original, to the point where the original melody is lost. He sounds like he can still hit the notes, just refuses to. Change, which is such a great song is downright horrible.
@@timothyhenry5454 they got a right to keep making money - maybe if everybody didn't steal all their albums 25 years ago - if you don't like it, don't go
These Wonderful musicians work their Asses off providing Great Music that has Stood the test of time for over 50 years. And STYX is NOT a tribute band with JY, CHUCKY, TOMMY and TODD still in the band. They tour 100 days out of the year to bring Great Music to the Masses. So take your complaints to someone who Cares. Thank You to the person that posted this AWESOME concert for Us to enjoy.
Don't you DARE call STYX a tribute band. JY, CHUCKY, TOMMY and TODD are all still in the band, over 50 years of MARVELOUS MUSIC. Think of the Bands that you pay MEGA BUCKS to go see that are New bands. At least Here we have GREAT MUSIC, not some Death Metal or RAP star you can't Understand the lyrics!
Its laughable that people post ... Foreigner is a tribute band . Hell its been 20 yrs.. Where you been ? If Mick says its ok ..Whats the bitch ? I saw them with Lou in their heyday. . Kelly does a fine job..Sure its not Foreigner 1980. But my guess is.This tour will pack them in.. Indy for myself
I wish you had enjoyed the show not looking through your phone. These recordings mean nothing to me. Poor sound and video. But Ok I do sound for a living so its normal I rant ....

@@hartleyroadmusic Thanks for the reply...I can understand your preference for Deniss's voice.
No Mick Jones, no Lou Gram, are you sure that's Foreigner?
exactly
Jones (and his attitude) should have quit long with Lou Graham as lead singer. Kelly Hanson has been singing with Foreigner for decades.
Jones told them to continue and Lou was washed decades ago
Can Lou still sing? lol I am guessing not.
I saw this in Detroit. It was enjoyable. John Waite was the only authentic artist there.
How can you call this Foreigner with no original members? I don’t get it.
Maybe because Mick Jones is still part of the band, but doesn't play on stage.
Jones owns the name. He could send out the 3 stooges, and still legally call it Foreigner.
That makes sense now. It’s all about the money. Obviously Jones doesn’t care who he trots out there as long he’s making money.
@@Taylor-kd6lr that's a tad cynical. The guys he's trotted out there are top notch.

Not Foreigner. Tribute band.
Agreed. The only reason they get away with it is because Mick Jones has given them his blessing to continue on.
Kelly Hanson has been the lead singer for years. Just because Jones isn't with them doesn't make it a tribute band. Hanson is more capable for performing than Jones anyway. Keep rockin' Foreigner!
The tribute as you call it, is better than what the original band would sound like today.

@@zimfan101 I saw Peter Frampton in 2007 jamming with the Cincinnati Symphony. So I'm not against watching "old" rockers perform. I'm soon to be 65! As a matter of fact. I have watched many a Styx concerts when they were much older! I guess I came across as not liking any band in their older years! Sorry! There is nothing like the 70's rock band my friend! ROCK ON !
There are better and much cheaper Foreigner cover bands out there than this sham of a group.
John Wait ❤ 🎉
dat aint foreiner
Styx playing Lorelei and the oldies set list is freaking awesome. Open with Grand Illusion, then Lady next. Clearly throwing bones to the die hards. Major props since most bands who have been out of the spotlight for a while feel compelled to play hits for fan engagement. Makes me want to catch a show if they get close.
I'm pretty Impressed here, still sounded good to me don't see the babys often..
This is not Foreigner. Not one original member. Any paying money to see this is paying for a cover band
John Waite and Styx yes. No thanks to Foreigner just a tribute today
So is Styx with Lawrence 'lollipop guild' Gowan
Will you guys be attending Santana on Wednesday?
You will see me there. I’m up close and personal. Third or fourth row maybe, centre floors.
We are all old! Steven Tyler turned 76yrs. Crazy !!!!!!!
I was looking forward to catching this tour in August @ Virginia Beach Amphitheater.
That ain't happening after watching this.
No Mick Jones makes this version of Foreigner nothing more then tribute band.
Terrible!
As for Styx , ok sound Tommy Shaw rocked but Lawrence Gowan stage presence is just to much lol.
I will be skipping event.
Played A Criminal Mind. Incredible song
I agree!
Only interested in the great John Waite but sadly his backup band doesn't rock hard enough to do The Babys material properly. I do appreciate the upload.
They've gone lounge sad
I was at the Budweiser stage a few days ago in Toronto Canada to see John Waite and foreigner those two were the opening acts for Styx I sure did see Styx at the Budweiser stage in Toronto on June 14
Foreigner had great songs back in the day but not one person on that stage was on those recordings…not one. I saw them about 10 years ago and at least Mick Jones performed at that show.
They are in Salt Lake this week, but instead of John Waite, we get 3rd eye blind. I love John Waite, we got cheated
Um...check your ticket! 3rd Eye Blind is on a completely different tour and playing today (June 25th) with Yellowcard & Arizona. John Waite will be playing, with the other bands, tomorrow (June 26th)
@zimfan101 it's on our local news and radios. So I don't need to check my ticket , what benefit do I get from lieing????
That’s not Foreigner!🤬
Blows me away how not one musician can sing background for John W
I seen foreigner in 1990 and Styx in 1988 that’s all I need to say
Best of the best sittin in their seats waiting
Waite, no backups.....a crime. Also embarrassing tiny drum kit. Huge no no for me. Foreigner, saw them in the 70's. So, still play that 78 Rainbow dvd to remember how lethal Dennis was on drums. Styx, seen them in the 70's. Amazing back then. Back then.
Props to the lady who climbed over the rails @ 32:04. 😂
yes lol
John Waite sounds good...sorta. Personally, I get annoyed when the singer in a band feels the need to sing EVERY line differently than the original, to the point where the original melody is lost. He sounds like he can still hit the notes, just refuses to. Change, which is such a great song is downright horrible.
Styx never wrote a hit again without Dennis
John Waite should be the headliner.
thanks for sharing last time I seen Styx was 1983 when the played the old CNE Grandstand field
"Lady" is about Dennis Deyoung's wife.
Anyone who’s seen them in 70s knows this is nothing more than a cut rate copy. Mick is milking this and making bank on a tribute.
Not impressed with Foreigner’s new lead singer.
I was going see this concert in nobilesville Iniandia
Just recycled tribute bands…
thats a coverband no original members
Really foreigner…don’t think so…rip off
Hard for me to believe people in this economy would spend good hard earned money to watch glorified tribute bands
I would not mind it if it was at a decent affordable price price They are all just living off the brand name
@@timothyhenry5454 they got a right to keep making money - maybe if everybody didn't steal all their albums 25 years ago - if you don't like it, don't go
how much of your money is hard earned if you have time to watch concerts for free on UA-cam and then bitch about the price of the tickets?
These Wonderful musicians work their Asses off providing Great Music that has Stood the test of time for over 50 years. And STYX is NOT a tribute band with JY, CHUCKY, TOMMY and TODD still in the band. They tour 100 days out of the year to bring Great Music to the Masses. So take your complaints to someone who Cares.
Thank You to the person that posted this AWESOME concert for Us to enjoy.
Don't you DARE call STYX a tribute band. JY, CHUCKY, TOMMY and TODD are all still in the band, over 50 years of MARVELOUS MUSIC. Think of the Bands that you pay MEGA BUCKS to go see that are New bands. At least Here we have GREAT MUSIC, not some Death Metal or RAP star you can't Understand the lyrics!
i like kelly but no where near Lou Gramn
This is awful
Its laughable that people post ...
Foreigner is a tribute band .
Hell its been 20 yrs..
Where you been ?
If Mick says its ok ..Whats the bitch ?
I saw them with Lou in their heyday. .
Kelly does a fine job..Sure its not Foreigner 1980.
But my guess is.This tour will pack them in..
Indy for myself
Even funnier are the people posting about Dennis in Styx ...he QUIT 30 years ago 😂
Still a tribute band
I wish you had enjoyed the show not looking through your phone. These recordings mean nothing to me.
Poor sound and video.
But Ok I do sound for a living so its normal I rant ....
