Wow, this is rock n roll kids. God I miss the 70's. watching in 2024

[@RussX5Z]

This is the original Foreigner line up that I like not that new crappy current line up that they have right now. No Lou Gramm no Foreigner period!! Anyways killer performance and thank you for loading this!

[@steveparker7905]

you know it

[@rickwidlund1327]

There was no Foreigner without Lou Graham.

[@mnrodriguez]

I agree. But their new lead singer is good. Great front man.

[@melissadavis225]

I agree 💯

[@sharonankelein9104]

No lou no foreigner period kelly hansen sucks

[@williampowers1929]

Lou the Best

[@bradnelson2637]

Lou sounds as good live as he did on the record……👍🏻

[@margueritemazzeo2904]

He always did.❤🎉

[@thunderdeed1]

Had the luck to see the original lineup in ‘77 & ‘78.

[@marcuswilliams2051]

I saw them in September 1978 at the Norfolk Scope in Virginia. Eddie Money opened for them. Great concert. I was 18

[@kimberlyc616]

WOW! Freaking wow! Great performance, great band... and Lou Gramm, a superstar💥💥🤘❣️

[@stephenobrien1505]

Damn! Goosebump city. I saw them on this tour. Rock n Roll!!

[@ztminhas47]

Lou Gramm had a fever. The only prescription was MORE COW BELL!!!

[@benadam7753]

The real original Foreigner! 100% pure adrenaline!!!

[@alicjaniewiarowska1669]

Lou ❤❤❤✌👌🎤you are the best

[@KoolKatDave]

Ed Gagliardi (R.I.P.) kicking ass on Rickenbacker bass / back up vocals!

[@darrellsquires8929]

I remember this from a radio broadcast in the early eighties. It is glorious and it brought a tear to my eye hearing it again. They don't make rock and roll like this anymore, they just don't.

[@aatmo4729]

[@craigresponds7103]

A Time that will never be duplicated. The trailings of the tough tough 60's.

[@user-us5hk3uk1d]

This original line up rocked such great memories!!!!!

[@keithlauderjr1691]

A privilege to watch this, historic. DANG!

[@averyadrian1534]

The 70’s were all about this!!!

[@strattuner]

this is amazing,where you found the whole lineup of the real FOREIGNER,ALL OF THEM,NATURALLY WITH THE KING OF THE MIC------GENIUS BAND GENIUS FRONTMAN

[@melissadavis225]

Amen to that period

[@melissadavis225]

Truth no Lou no Foreigner period he was and still the man he deserves to given credit where credit is due he made that group they are crap now I agree with you

[@drewbacsi]

Mick is just milkin' that shit!

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

from back when Rock and Roll was real .no auto tune. i feel so sorry for the youth of today. they don,t know what they missed. at least they can watch it here on you tube. but us old farts got to see it live.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Awesome, just stumbled on to this one.

[@christiecooper1479]

😮

[@robertobhro]

How awesome is this live version?! Love the studio version, but boy THIS is rock music!!!

[@petersonlafollette3521]

There first LP was not to be denied and it only went up from there.

[@BeckyBender-hb2hh]

Saw them many times in the late 70's in Ohio! Always made me get up and dance!! 👏👏👏😘🩵❤️💛

[@blahdeblah1975]

Back in the day, people used to rock.

[@tonyc8448]

Nowadays most just stand with their iPhones outstretched blocking the view of those who do.

[@melissadavis225]

For sure rockers awesome showmanship period he rocked

[@lidiamarcia7334]

Um rock de pura qualidade . O Foreigner e o Lou foram histórico.

[@williamweiss6128]

Drummer was badass!!

[@Boss-vd8vt]

now every buddy listens to possy music!

[@thomlandt6034]

Lou Gramm belting it out so damn good!!!! What a voice he had!...reminds me of Steve Marriott (Humble Pie) on this one Mick Jones & the band just kickin' ass!!! -GOLD.

[@a.grainofsand1769]

1978 the same year i went to my first concert it was Foreigner!!!!!!! been a die hard fan ever since then ,nows its 2020. still loving it ,thank you so much for your post!!

[@jannorris4140]

Back when there was actual instruments played and real music.

[@tracyhall6195]

Just enuff cowbell, Lou ! 0:45 😉 💙 🍻

[@kimberlyc616]

As a side note to this outrageously good performance, I LOVE seeing Lou sling that hair around!! Love!!! 💕

[@carystehely9418]

That is what you call " fuck hair" because it looks like you just got fucked all the time..

[@redhead5150]

I just heard this the other day on a classic rock station. I haven't heard this in 20 + years !!! Awesome flashback !!!!

[@joelewing4498]

I never saw Foreigner, I was a tidbit older (grad. hs 1973) and most of my live rock shows were from '67 thru mid 70's.....then married and well, that ended my love of getting blasted and driving to arena shows with a carload of my buddies. But I can tell by the sound coming out of this vid that this would have been a friggin' great sounding show. Wish I could have been there. Miss those days for sure.

[@BelMachado7319]

Quandou nasci, Foreigner já estava na estrada. Eu nunca pude ver Lou cantar, gostaria de ter estado lá! Mas, eu era apenas uma adolescente nos anos 90, e ele nunca veio em meu país. Então só me resta assistir os vídeos, ouvir suas músicas e ver suas fotos e entrevistas. Deve ser assim que os fãs do Elvis também se sentem: Gostaríamos de ter estado lá!

[@darinjames3313]

ONE a me favorites.....yep....This show is Clappin, Slappin, Crankin n Spankin ALL in ONE......Lou s still da best......Adios n peace on 🌎....

[@brianstoecker379]

All I can say is wow! Fuck the Rock and Roll hall of shame. Lou is a legend

[@andybeach1972]

Wow. This is a gem.

[@beverlymaxwell3556]

Them boys is tearing it up WOWWW this music may be back in 1978 but music like this never gets old lou's tearing it up and the band is tearing it up 🤭

[@rhondarobin-jones6957]

GORGEOUS LOU GRAMM. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I LOVE LOU GRAMM FOREVER

[@TheAlistairDick]

Fabulous

[@fairlessdave1834]

I miss rock music. And don't say there still is rock music. You know what I mean.

[@williamweiss6128]

Finally!! Bought this!! Originally recorded it off King Biscuit Flower Hour on Dad's reel to reel. Shit is amazing. the Foreigner people don't know. But I remember, they shredded badass!! Drummer going off big time, fellow drummer, love it! Not now, unfortunately.

[@lidiamarcia7334]

Um Show excelente do grupo Foreigner com o vocalista Lou Gram. Eles estavam excedentes .O Lou sempre incansável e inesquecível.

[@scottykei5608]

Yes,this is true Foreigner that i know well!! Great!!

[@jenniporterfield5589]

I wanted all of their winter coats for Christmas!

[@marciadesantanajordao1146]

I've never watched this video before.Thanks for sharing with us Little Sister

[@joec7968]

Holy smokes where did this come from? What a kick ass performance!! Usually their tempo is a bit fast live but this is on point.

[@shafiqulislam-xr2og]

UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME!!!!!

[@christiecooper1479]

😮

[@j.d.leslie8458]

My absolute favorite Foreigner song. The lyrics are genius.

[@ladylily2350]

Yep that’s right! That’s how we rocked. No fooling around, we had a great time!

[@misterkite5887]

I was privileged to see these guys on two tours before mick started dismantling the band then again right after.

[@09terrafirma]

Lou made that band. Mick is great but Lou made your band Mick. The true Foreigner.

[@anasilvaa31]

LOU GRAMM, o melhor

[@charlesmiddleton9952]

Around 1978 These guys were pretty good!

[@dianarice3413]

This is a real gem! Thank you for the upload!

This is when i seen them the first time dudes could rock

[@craigresponds7103]

IT WAS A GREAT ERA TO BE A TEENAGER.

[@powerwindow2]

yeah it was. i normally don't reply on yt, but you took the words right outta my mouth. this was the best time of my life.

[@powerwindow2]

oh...and btw, horribly video quality and marginal audio quality. for the newcomers, bad is the new good !

[@margueritemazzeo2904]

​@@powerwindow2Wth? This is almost 50 years old..pretty good film quality given that.

[@stephenobrien1505]

Came back to watch this again!! Two words: DA-YUM!!!

[@deeburrow962]

saw them in Memphis 1978 ❤

[@donnalombardo5061]

Those were the days.

Great footage. Thank you.

Real rock, hands down

[@tracyhall6195]

Mick Jones and the late Ian McDonald on the wicked 🔥 🎸 licks !! 🤘😎👍 1:30

[@tonyc8448]

Best live footage I've seen on You Tube period. More power and passion the 1000000 of those street showdown instant karma bull shit uploads from todays world will ever have.

[@concernedcitizen5493]

Now that's a Singer

[@charlesmiddleton9952]

Rock in the late seventies ruled! It was the people's music!electronic media was a high fidelity stereo and a color t.v.,no smart phones,no p.c. computers,how did we survive?😂

[@bloomfrieda7234]

Hey we survived. By simple things and great rock music that is our history and our generation will always cherish I love this band and many more I got lucky to see Lou gramm but I wish I could have seen the original foreign but I have seen many other bands 😘🎸

[@michaeltodi4858]

My favorite tune from them in 77 Lou Rocks on vocals!

[@ddivar8149]

Lou and Paul Rodgers -da best!

[@jamesdewer]

What a voice.

[@marylouhellman3884]

Great concert! Sad to watch. Ed Gagliardi was enjoying so much freedom on stage - he was really getting into it without Mick or Lou being in charge at the moment. Once the band returned to the States, Ed was fired, to be replaced by Rick Wills.

[@111littlesisterful]

He stole the show! It's great and so rare to see a footage of Ed taking the frontman's place, with Lou back on drums.

[@benadam7753]

So sad. There was no real good reason to fire Ed Gagliardi. RIP: Ed...

[@scarborosasquatchstation1403]

@@benadam7753 : Ed Gagliardi made this concert exciting to watch , basically stole the show right under Lou Gramm ! Cool

[@benadam7753]

@@scarborosasquatchstation1403 Lou looked to me to have no problem with Ed taking center stage! He sat back next to Dennis Elliot on his own drum set! The one who looked preturbed was Mick! Should be noted this was the last concert in London on the Double Vision Tour and Mick fired Ed when they returned to the states.

[@scarborosasquatchstation1403]

holy hell....real rock and ROLL...think they were havin' any fun while kicking all that ass? wow

[@melissadavis225]

Amen

[@nicholasosthelder8181]

This is interesting. On the Then and Now tour in 2018 the new version of the band did the song more like the album. This version is a harder rock version without the keyboards. No piano. I like this. Dennis Elliot just owns the kit. Kelly sings great but Lou back in the day was awesome. Really interesting post!

[@EddieWDeeDoubleEffect]

Pure Legend

[@steveparker7905]

I ve seen them 4 times which was thur the album 4 when they came thur bama they did rock and I seen all the bands of the day

[@tryithere]

Excellent video.

[@lutherjohnson99]

I'd like to play this through my Pioneer supertuner with the 694s in the back of my 69 Pontiac Lemans.

[@marcosavarise5031]

free-flowing excellent coke .....those were the days ....

[@daveneumeier1222]

Lou Gramm will always be the real Voice of FOREIGNER just like Steven Tyler is for AEROSMITH or as Paul Rodgers will be for, BAD COMPANY.

[@EB-wl9st]

Easily their best song.

[@BelMachado7319]

Esse era o estilo original que Lou Gramm queria para Foreigner, e M.J. se recusou a manter, transformando Foreigner em "pop-rock". Penso eu, que foi aí que Gramm se desencantou com Foreigner. Soma-se a isto, aquela música, para completar a decepção. M. Jones sabe como por tudo a perder. Agora comanda uma banda cover!

[@michelled.blauert7691]

gtfo....70's rocker hair?-check, cow bell?-check, min and a half intro-check....i wanna just close my eyes and listen thru my jensen tri ax leaning against the back window of my cutlass cuz they were too f big to fit in the back deck. it was better when we WATCHED the concert and not filmed it on our phones.

[@justyce0223]

I was 10 when I saw this tour in '78. One of my aunts took me. My dad didn't find out until YEARS later, because he never would have allowed it. I was in awe. I remember it like it was yesterday! I would give anything to go back and see the concerts from the 70's and 80's! Live shows just aren't the same today.

[@Grandpadon2012]

Craig Powerplays in the back window, 4 Jensen 6X9s under the seats

add in their beautiful winter coats!

[@donnarupert4926]

@powerwindow2...yeah baby!!! I saw “FOREIGNER” 4 times starting around this time at the “New Haven” (CT) veterans memorial coliseum!!! Lou was the MAN!!! Now, I’m 61 y/o, I’m glad I was able to experience REAL music🙋🏽‍♀️💕

[@DustinBlythe]

Sounds a little messy here, probably source quality, but the "Live At The Rainbow '78" album sounds fantastic!

[@user-hy9le9os8d]
