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 😁👍
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 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!
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.
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.
I've had a man who kisses, hugs, lives and loves with the passion of this performance (& looks like him ..without the hair although same colour).....aren't i lucky....the song is all about us although there is more ❤ Loved Foreigner then......love them more watching this .... what passion in the whole band 👌
I Absolutely Love Lou Gramm...Has to be one of the Greatest Rock Singers Ever...What an amazing voice and his passion really shines through...Best Wishes Always Lou...Jody
*BUUUUZZZZZZ* That is INCORRECT!! He is NOT one of the greatest rock voices of all time. He is one of the greatest voices of all time, of ANY musical genre, not just rock-n-roll.
Don't miss out on the 1970's rock it's even better! Fleetwood Mac , Stevie Nicks, Journey w/ Steve Perry, Lynyrd Skynyrd (Ronnie VanZandt) , the Steve Miller Band, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band to name a few.
I watch this every night before I go to bed could never get sick of this. Real music! Real talented musicians. Lou’s perfect and powerful voice it’s always so good to listen to. I have been a fan of Foreigner ever since I was a only a kid.
I was eleven years old back than and my older brother Steve Carrillo (RIP) took me to my very first concert in Los Angeles to see Foreigner at The Fabulous Forum and my fondest memory of that night to this day was "Jukebox Hero" and seeing that giant thing look like it exploded at the end and as a kid it was pure magic. Thanks Steve! :)
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
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.
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.
Lou Is the best every song he sings has unbelievable Strength and feeling to it and now that he’s having problems he sounds good just the way he is now the guy is magic
Que hermosa rola Urgent, esa canción es de mis tiempos 1981, que tiempos aquellos, no dejaba de oír ese Long Play.!! Uno de los mejores discos del rock..!! Excelente video..!! Saludos
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 .... Único, insuperable, inigualable ..... No existe ni existirá alguien más de su calidad. El nuevo vocalista es de alto nivel, pero el sentimiento de Lou Gramm era genuino. Ahora todo es comercial... personajes sobrevalorados. Lou Gramm... ÚNICO POR SIEMPRE.
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
This is one of the greatest live versions of any song EVER
That Sax lives on a different level.
No one sings like this anymore
This is a rock band. This is a rock song. This is the best voice ever heard in rock music history.
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
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.
Blew out my car stereo speakers on the Foreigner 4 Album in 1982!!!
Love the Sax!!!
this band should be in the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame.
That sax solo might be the best one I ever heard.
Lou ....one the best hard rock singers of all time
No song would be this beautiful and famous if it weren't for the voice and interpretation of Lou Gramm the best.
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
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 .
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.
Lou was one of the most underated rock and roll singers of all time. Amazing range and delivery.
The best live performance period
The Real Foreigner !
One of my favorite bands and singers.
Oh liebe Gott! Was für eine wunderbare Stimme!
Yup,yes
40 years & it still sounds great. Timeless music
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!!!
That's one Night not one person will ever forget. ❤.
Masterpiece. Sweet saxophone, pounding drums, powerful guitar, incredible bass rip and superior live vocals!
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.
When the band lost Lou Grahm, the band itself was lost forever and never recovered.
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!

This Foreigner was gold it belongs in the hall of Fame!
finally made it there 2024
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 ☺️
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.😊❤🎉
Play those drums Dennis Elliott!!! I love it!! ❤
Foreigner 4 was one of the albums to have in the early 80s. Lou Gramm is a beast!
Lou Gramm best! I am from Russia and I listened foreinger in 1982, and is now happy to listen. I returned to my youth!
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❤
Best version of the song without a doubt and easily they're most underrated
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 has a spectacular voice. Lou can not be replaced.

.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.
Excelente solo de Saxofón del Maestro Mark Rivera ...mis respetos y gran admiración...!
Top band . Thank god l can still listen to music like this.
My favorite Band when I was young, wow 41 Years ago. Still rocks.
Самая обожаемая мною песня группы на века !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rawness of his voice brings a hightened level that cannot be imitated!
Foreigner clearly on the top of their game here....
without a doubt, killing it
One of my favorite songs. Yes , Lou and Foreigner for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2024 !
This is Foreigner's best song and nobody can sing it better than the gorgeous and talented Lou Gramm.❤ Love this man, love this song!!.❤❤❤❤😊

Never again will there be a voice like Lou, he is unique!

And having raw talent too. No amount of training will give you a great voice. @@spacejockey4746

Little did they know they were making history with such an awesome live rendition
One of the great rock voices.
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. 😅
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.
Probably the best Sax solo in rock history.

Foreigner isn't Foreigner WITHOUT Lou Grahm!!!
True jam session!! They were all on point and feeling it. I wish I was born 10 years earlier
Have to make another comment.
