perhaps my favorite Foreigner song and I loved Mick Jones singing as well and the duel vocals....before all their hit parade, these classic rock songs, like "At War With the World" ,  "Tramontane", "Woman O Woman" , epic songs that would not survive later cuts on more polished and commercial albums... this video blows me away....feck

Thanks for posting this up Stephan. I knew Lou Gramm was out of commission for a while but didn't know that it was because of a brain tumor. I'm glad he recovered and can still sing. When I saw your song postings of Lou singing I thought I need to look up my favorite Foreigner song "Star Rider" and low and behold there it was in the next video you posted up! I saw Foreigner in concert in their hay day...what a voice...what a band! The cover band I played with in the late seventies and early eighties covered a few of their hits like Cold as Ice, Double Vision and Hot Blooded. It was a challenge to make them sound right but they were crowd pleasers no matter how we made them sound.

golly gee Farrell...that is cool...I think what really interests me the most about Foreigner looking back at if from this point is that the band was Brits and Americans...I would say it was quite a good marriage...ala Fleetwood Mac.....  Starrider is so amazing good....that whole first album really... there could be no outdoing that one....although they had bigger sales...the first to me will always be the best....

compelling, intriguing, touching, makes me introspective..... what a voice too...and it's neat that his son completed it.... that in itself is a testament....

you might love these songs...I do.... an Aussie who lives in Europe now.... Johnny Jarko

This one below here....this is the one I really love... He speaks of the longing of the heart for the oneness with another....as in "I long, I long, I long for you." 
My wife is from Brasil and they have a word Saudades.... which she the english word of miss, as in "I miss you" is not nearly a strong enough depiction...
so I think Johnny nailed the word Saudades the best I can understand in the song below.... "I long for you."   That is different than "I miss you."

I've been on a Move kick lately. This is the later version of the group with Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood. Love how their voices blend on this.

Cuthbert,
I could say that I never heard of them but....if you asked me...to pick out who this was and I listened for a bit I am quite sure I would have said ELO.... I was a big fan but not in the way that I knew all their stuff...but yes, this has Jeff Lynne all over it....

I love The Move in that era. I've got their 1972 album "Split Ends" which features "Chinatown" and lots of other great tracks. Seven of the twelve tracks are taken from their 1971 album "Message From The Country". Here are a couple of my favourites.

That first one started out and I'm thinking "Loving Spoonfuls"....ha...tricked me!  that was big... a really big sound that goes 5 different directions...what a creative collective!  Would be fun to try and cover that stuff...wow.... I am going to listen to #2 now.
