- Foreigner performs "Urgent" live at the Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do? - Hudba

Lou Gramm and Foreigner nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2024! Cast your vote
i didn't know that jen that's awesome i think the turtles grass roots and the guess who need to be nominated all three bands had a lot of hits they dont get any respect i think and i know politics has something to do with it its sad really.
its a joke they are not in there yet should have happened years ago
What's embarrassing is you rarely if ever see Gramm on lists of the top rock vocalists. This is honestly criminal and I don't get it at all.
Agree. I would put him top 5. Mercury, Paul Roger's, Steve Marriott ,Lou Gramm and an odd on Roger Mcguin.
Not understanding what is your main complaint or perhaps you have multiple but perhaps you are a little😂🤐😂🤐
One of the best ever
Sunsr
Life isn’t fair and the music industry is the most corrupt.
For a long time, I have said that Queen was the only band who did an outstangind job at Live Aid......I was wrong, Foreigner KILLED IT.
Freddie is Freddie. what made this good was that Lou had just released his solo album in 84 and many thought foreigner was done so it was great seeing them @ farm aid.
This is Farm Aid. The fool promoter Bill Graham snubbed them from Live Aid.
Damn, Lou Gramm……..I saw Foreigner last year with Kelly Hansen. He’s awesome in his own respect, but absolutely no one can touch you. Love you always, Lou!
very unique voice with a master of grabbing your attention at song start with so many catchy riffs. Mick Jones is a master of that.
@@sicfrynut yes!! That opening riff is awesome!
YOU'RE THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE SINGER IN THIS WORLD. YOU'RE PURE ELECTRICITY AND EXCITEMENT. YOU CAN REALLY RAMP UP A CROWD. I LOVE LOU GRAMM FOREVER
What people don't understand is that there were REALLY GREAT singers in history. But only ONE was able to deliver a performance with unparalleled INTENSITY and PASSION at the same time: and this singer goes by the name of LOU GRAMM!
Lou is unique!
👍
r u high
His passion is so sexy
That Mick would have been nothing without Lou. He was jealous of Lou.
What an AH! 😡
There will never be another LOU GRAMM! Listen to and watch this video daily! Team LOU
You can say that again.
This is my favorite song 🎶 and he have a soulful voice.
So tell me are you a fan of FOREIGNER?
@@rossscott7157 absolutely!
@@TheLindahelton good to hear that from you, I’m a great fan as well….
@@TheLindahelton I would like to get to know you better if you don’t mind? Where are you originally from? And where do you currently live?
Lou Gramm we miss you so much 80’S music was amazingly good ❤
Best Saxophon-Solo in Rockhistory ever.
i agree i play the saxophone since last march of 2023 its been almost one year since i started playing and my goal is to play that solo among others i just gotta keep practicing and maybe i can i love playing i usually practice two or three days a week sometimes four i usually practice from a half hour to 45 minutes each time.
@@toddlaber2325Thank you for your message. I wish you only the best in your love of music. Sorry, my English is not so good.
'Turn The Page' 😗😎😉
It’s not an easy task to play the original Junior Walker solo, but that sax guy really did a wonderful job, especially hitting that high F# at the beginning of the solo!(concert E). ❤❤❤
Lou grams voice was insane best in the business
2023 I am 53 and still listen to greatest rock bands from the 80th
Lou must have sung this song thousands of times, but the intensity...feels like the first time.
Foreigner was one of the top 5 bands in the 70s and 80s.
true that. heart boston foriegner my top 3 in no particular order
70s and 80s Top 5 ?
They are not bad, but there would be 50 Bands or more which are better. Where are they today ?
Even 75year old Stones sell more songs.
rolling stones. u r kidding right. i suppose the who is better too. come back when u study up on music.
Lou gramm uno de los mejores cantantes de rock de la historia , IMPRESIONANTE !
The real Foreigner. So much better than the current tribute band. They belong in the HOF. This song... and 'I Don't Wanna Live Without You' are my two favorite songs of theirs. All of their music defines the late 70s and the 80s. The saxophone solo on this song is epic. One of the great horn solos in rock history.
My God... My favourite rock singer who puts so much passion in every tune... What a perfect breathing control... He is the class act! I'm very impressed! Thanks a lot for uploading it!
One of the best rocker of all time
Foreigner just isn''t Foreigner without Lou

Amen
Lou’s pipes were second to none... it was difficult to keep hitting the upper notes only he could sing for an entire concert. One of the most under appreciated rock&roll singers - much ❤️ Lou!!
Me gusta mucho❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lou is one in a million fabulous singers🌹🌹🌹🌹
That saxophone player is unbelievable ❤️❤️✨✨✨
I Lou Gramm I been listening to him as teenager to Grow and I'm of Color African American he is so real and un appreciated he needs to get Grammys he wrote Songs and Song all of them I would Love to meet him❤
This man can sing his arse off...what a perfect rock voice
Perhaps the greatest american rock singer of all time.
Perhaps on the planet...
He was amazing no doubt but I’m going to go with Sammy Hagar on that one ☝️
👏👏👏💖the only one on this planet
@@stevenjschuler1169 Are you serious?
@@stevenjschuler1169 Sammy is fantastic for sure, but the pipes go to to Robin Zander, although Sammy is a better performer
He’s great - one of the best ever. I’d say he’s probably the most overlooked rock singer that there’s ever been.
Still true in 2020:
✔ Great band!
✔ Great performance!
✔ Great song!
✔And, of course, the best vocalist in the world: Lou Gramm!
Lou Gramm …the greatest rock vocalist of all time
Some people are born with greatness and meant to do what they do as professionals...Lou was no exception
Pure vocal talent. No singing over the track. 👍
Big deal.
@@jumpinjojo YES IT WAS!!!
🦋Now this is rocks, vocals and music I love this song 🦋☝️
This is back when singers could sing and had charisma on stage. I miss it
Lou Gramm is crazy good!! Awesome!!
LOU AT HIS BEST! He is the Greatest Rock Singer!
NEVER GETS OLD .. THE BEST .
The 80's were so awesome.
70's
They were the best!
Greatest music ever! Nothing has came close since the past 30 years after the 80’s
60s also. It set the bar for good music to follow.
yes and i'm proud to say i was here
Raw unsweetened vocals - Lou is a great singer !!
For a guy that puts so much passion into his sound how the heck does he still have such a great voice at 63. His vocal chords take a beating every single song he sings. He doesnt seem to know how to coast. Has to give 100% every time
Lou Gramm and Paul Rodgers two of greatest rock singers
His raspy voice here sounds so good!!
The Sax adds so much soul to the driving riff of this classic. 👏
Man's a Legend!🎤
Had the opportunity to meet Lou years ago ….class act off the stage as well
Put Lou in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or be damned !
Christine Plymouth I Agree!
He's damn sure in MY Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
Who needs them
Exactly!!!
@@jamesadams88 я уверена что это случится .....но посмертно....пока лу жив это вряд ли произойдет.
How Incredible they were . Loved them from the beginning.
Amazing!! Lou Gramm, the best Foreigner leader ever! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
What a fantastic frontman 👌

😂это моя молодость!!!❤❤❤Ок решил закончить...такого праздка больше не будет ❤❤❤😢😂 Обожаю! Необыкновенный тембр, лёгкое расширение...звонкость,чистота, мелодизм!!! В то время они были для меня чем то большим,чем группа, которую я слушаю! Они всегда пользовались уважением всего рок н рольного мира! Это часть моей жизни! ❤❤❤ Именно у таких исполнителей должно учиться Нынешнее молодое поколение,которое творит несусветную г...,ть
Listen to that dude sing! Incredible. A truly professional singer and front man. Just fantastic.
Sos nuestro idolo hasta el infinito en tus mejores momentos y atualmentos te amamos

Frigging Lou is the heart of Foreigner. Great front man, unbelievable vocalist.
well - this is easily the song that more people got laid to in the 80's than any other... the lyrics are just an obvious part - but the way Lou sang it make so compelling... yeah i was calling around in the "middle of the night" because of this song! all-round great band with a great mix of voice and instruments...
The voice and the sax😱
Lou is unsurpassed... I have many favorite bands but when I came across Foreigner I just fell in love... Lou is a pure diamond, real, he knows his stuff and does it perfectly. But seems like an underrated treasure i think. Now Lou is always ahead of my other favorites

What a song,what a singer.
Gramm was an incredible singer.
I have always said he IS "the white Otis Redding" - amazing performance energy & deliverance!
Katana Sharp He is? Currently? I didn't know that.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💗
👍
One of the best voices I ever heard
I saw foreigners farwell tour at pine knob it was an excellent tribute to the original Foreigner band members
I love his voice, style and aura since the 70's one of the legends
It's a tough song to sing...and the effort shown to sing it makes the song even more....ummm...well...urgent. sounding. Great performance.
best live singer ever
+Frank Klaudusz But not his best performance here
Freddie is the best live singer imo :D
Benoit Vanhees you sing on a hot rainy day. And see if your ass doesn't drag just a little. He gives it his all
Yes and Freddie 💞💞💞🔥🎶😍

Great singer great sax and guitarist all great at this band. Very rock voice Lou gramm...amazing....
They were right up there with “Queen” .. what a performance
Nope, Queen were on Live Aid.
He meant that they were up there with Queen in terms of quality in the performance.
Love Lou Gramm....he is the best!!!
Dang this band was good.
What an amazing vocalist. Song brings me way back!!!
My GOd. What a voice!
Love Lou Gramm! He is incredible! I love his cross!
Wow what a great singer Lou is!!! He is amazing!!! I don’t see how he hit those notes through that whole song and still stayed on key!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hes able to do it because he's does vocal exercises and warm ups before he hits the stage , from my own experience as a singer , its the best way to stay out of trouble. Lol
So much vocal skill and ability only another singer would really know just how much.
Thank you.

Damn that was a kick ass performance !
God this performance is filthy! the back and forth between Mark Rivera And Lou after the sax solo is amazing......
These were the originals what a remember
he is 63 years old now (in 2013).This was done in 1985,so he must have been 35 years old during this performance.I was very lucky to see Foreigner in the 1980's
OMG this song totally rocks the planet and always will.
1981 was an awesome year, and this band was one reason why
Lou was foreigner. Without him they never would have achieved stardom like they did.
True!
Larry Thompson , I have to agree with you here too. It was the combination of Lou's melodic Vocals lines and his love for a rock n roll style. I love all the vocals and harmonies on their albums.i read Gramm did most of the vocals, but Mick Jones did sing a few as well.
Larry Thompson Lou is foriegner...rock steady Lou!
Larry Thompson love it classic. Brings back alot of memories so bad ass.
Your damn right !!! Iam sorry to the other guy but LOU brought them to that level of stardom. You can not fake your way through it with an imitator !
lou gramm still the best of all times , that all anyone needs to know, love you guys.which I could turn back time.
Steve Perry. Steve Walsh were better. IMO
Lou😍🙏👀
No one like Lou he is one of the kind my favorite singer 💗💗💗💪👏🎶

One of the best sax solos in Rock
perfection. 70's & 80's was the best of times for sax players. all the best hits all had sax in them. and rindi ross played sax for Quarterflash. find another fool is a good one.
I LOVE THIS MAN WHAT VOICE!!!!!!!!!!! LOU GRAMM FOREVER
Me too💖🔥💕🎶🙏
Looked after them in Edinburgh for a few nights back in early eighties Humble band with soooo much talent .Even shouted me to concert.!,One of the greatest rock voices of our time.
Love you Lou ❤ Today and ever... Det är bråttom nu...Att leva..Tacksam Marie 🥰🙋♀️
Lou Gramm was Foreigners best leadsinger in my opinion, I was a big fan then
Kirsten Dahl Lou is awesome..he is foreigner! Rock steady Lou! Love you dude.
Always will be .
Descubrí a este hombre hace 4 meses, buscando otro cantante y me encanto tanto que ahora lo escucho, de mañana, tarde y noche, su voy me calma es increíble lo que me pasa, además, me encanta su personalidad, se mas o menos su historia. Ahora es un gran señor que sigue impactando con su voz y su personalidad, se que no puedo esperar que su voz sea igual cuando estaba joven, pero lo que me impacta es su capacidad de vivir con dignidad y hacer lo que le apasiona, es un gran ejemplo para muchos y muchas, incluyéndome
Voice of the 80's....such great times!!!!!...........2020
Great job. That rain-soaked wet stage looked scary. Glad nobody was electrocuted. Dare I say, it would have made Foreigner "Hot Blooded".
Lou!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember the first time I tried to cover this song, and a half step down, I couldn't even finish it. Such a challenging song to sing live. Still hoping he decides to teach one day.
Dont feel bad Kelly Hansen lowered it a half step like you im a keyboard player a very experienced one and ill tell you the key Lou sings in you got to have his intensity for that to work Johnny Edwards Lous first replacement sang in Lous key i was surprised how good he sounded on Urgent because when he talks he had a very low baritone voice which reminded me that a percent of singing is within the individual and the other comes from hard work drinking the right things vocal rest too dont give up keep at it it will pay off
@@waltersimmons946 Thanks Walt. Tell you the truth, I think I sound better that half step down. Lou set the bar really high.
@@VIDEOHEREBOB Yes he did.
Think best single Foreigner performance live
The Big 80s !!
You can say that again.
This is my favorite song 🎶 and he have a soulful voice.

He (Lou) was the only one who could sing Urgent -no one can replace him
Love Lou Gramm at all stages of his life throughout his music career and even now
Just blows me away. So DAMN GREAT!
a massive rock singers voice in the making, fantastic, singers like this are few and far between.
Only Lou Gramm can do these songs justice!😚 Same with Mark Rivera on that saxophone!
Amazing sax performance
That's Mark Rivera
Quien es el genio del saxofón???
Una verdadera máquina tocando....
Que manera de sonar bien....
Ti faccio I miei complimenti!... Sei bravissimo.!....
There is only one foreigner y ese es Luo y su banda lo adoro es unico💖
It’s 2021 I’m still loving this video❤️
best of the 80's ...the sax player had a nice aerobics theme going on.
Other than the fact that Lou's voice is incredible!!! But the sax solo kicks ass!!! Prob my favorite part of this song.. Icing on the frickin cake.. Loved it growin up as a kid. love it now
I remember watching this live, i play it every couple of years. AMAZING!
La musica siempre me ha gustado de Foreigner.pero un dia como dice el otro comentario, lo vi detenidamente al cantante y me impacto su interpretación , como lo vive y lo siente al interpretar, siempre ,siempre lo veo ,y no me canso de verlo su nombre es : el gran Lou Gramm, no habra otro como el, es fantástico, ahora tiene 73 años y sigue cantando ,
Me encanta. Diosito cuida a este gran artista .
