Foreigner Rev On the Red Line

[@laurierodwell5757]

So glad Lou Gramm and Foreigner made into the rock and roll hall of fame !! It was a long time coming. Making Rochester, New York proud !!!

[@roxannemoser]

Who gets better than Lou Gramm? Nobody!!!

[@Cj-gs3sc]

The greatest singer n voice of all time maaam🎉

[@jackaction7077]

Lou was Foreigner..Once he left it was over for me

[@laurierodwell5757]

Every time I hear Lou sing about Lake Avenue in that song, reminds me of my wild youth ! As a former Rochester , New Yorker, Lou Gramm is the local icon !

[@debbiegoodnough9836]

Lou Gramm is irreplaceable! Such an amazing vocalist!

[@danfico7182]

Love Lou Gramm ! The best !

[@Romans219]

Amen!

[@rickarra1833]

Saw them several times when the music was good. This song gets me going Everytime because it reminds me of Chicago street racing in the 70s

[@andrewpeck3287]

never gets old hearing this

[@saxonsteve]

One of the greatest singers of all time!!

[@joevanseeters2873]

One of the best early Foreigner songs without a doubt. And that Organ RIFF throughout the song just makes it!

[@BryanFink1]

What a great fucking song! I havent heard this in decades. Just heard part of it on SiriusXM and had to hear the whole thing. WOW! A little tinge of Kansas in this to me. Mick Jones and Lou Graham what an Amazing duo of performers and songwriters. The 70s were the best!

[@carolk5770]

Lou..you amaze me every time you sing!! Such a gorgeous voice! You’re a LEGEND!!!! ❤

[@BeanieScooter]

All about LOU! Gates, NY's own!❤

[@DARRENHILL-og4iq]

Lou is one of if not the best rock singer ever what a voice , living legend

[@Cj-gs3sc]

👍👍👍👍

[@maikutsukino4743]

Lou is my fav because he's a local for me. A little fact about this song: this song is about the muscle car street racing that was happening on Lave Avenue in Rochester, NY near Lake Ontario and the Genesee River. Was I one of those that raced? Back then, yes. 1971 Dodge Dart that was HEAVILY customized and really wasn't street legal anymore. I didn't win all the time, but I didn't lose all the time either. While this song nails the description of what it was like on a Friday or Saturday night there, it wasn't like this was the anthem of the racers. But it was played a lot! Good times, people....... good times..... Red line the tach, loose the clutch and feel the car's front end rise as the tires scream....

[@markmortimer1051]

Awesome song!!!

[@WyennaAbel16]

[@todcornellier1689]

Love this song..Lou Gramm has the best voice.I grew up with an 8 track player..I had Head Games and Genesis Lamb Lies Down on Broadway..Not a bad way to love music..Huge fan

[@AG-td4pm]

Ultimate street racing track back in the day, captivated the era of muscle

[@user-jk8bb6wm1s]

What a Voice! O my God!❤️

[@michaelpepper2206]

Note all the references to Rochester, NY. "Running all night on Lake Avenue" is about Lou Gramatico drag racing on the long straight just North of Kodak Park. And Yes, he did get arrested and had to appear before a City Judge.

[@lynd4852]

yep, then down to Charlotte for the friday night cruise show....till they shut us down. cops on the bridge, illegal exhaust. hahaha

[@JGLB2012]

i got a 55 chevy with a 350, a 57 chevy with a 427, and a 2015 Mustang GT that's fast as hell, i'm 67 years old, the words to this song light my fire! in spite of all the candy ass sythesizers, i love this!

[@archieferrari]

Lou Graham you can never be replaced !!

[@mikeerrington47]

[@michaelgallant2623]

Indeed...Agree...had this song on my mind from the cassette daze...Thanks Lou "Gramm" & Foreigner...Rev Always!!!Hope this song see's ya well Archie...Thanks PAL guitars for posting.

[@carolk5770]

[@brantduell7222]

I really miss this music.... I guess growing up in Rochester it was played even more because of Lou...

[@mikecruz4425]

Sure was! He went to gates chili high school

[@johnconway9882]

Running all night on Lake Avenue!

[@patriceoldani5603]

He is absolutely unreplaceable!!!

[@DarrelEugeneSmith]

This song makes me miss the old days of the early 1980s

[@markcbb]

I recently bought the Foreigner box set and every album is excellent , only really knowing the singles before I've been blown away with how much I've missed out in the past

[@leeclemente54]

I can still hear Dave Kane cuing this song up on 96 WCMF!!! Miss those Canandaigua summer nights!

[@candaceo3711]

I'm from Rochester NY and grew up on lake Ave!

[@Aglassact77]

Sounds bad Ass !!!

[@onyourmarkphoto]

What is it about this song that is haunting in that melody at times? Really brings me back to my high school years.

[@maikutsukino4743]

When the songs are about real life they sometimes hit harder, especially when you're into the same thing!

[@melelenath]

You are so right, the melody is somehow poignant. Makes me feel sad for that lost experience that I never had!

[@Jeannified]

Such a fantastic song! Hadn't heard this song in years!

[@prodes883]

Great music like this will never die. We listen to it because we enjoy good music and to remember the past. When i hear this song I remember cruising up and down Lake Ave to Charlotte beach with a 8 pack of Miller ponies great times!!!!!!

[@eusacs]

Yep that is what this tune is about!

[@mikecruz4425]

Well done PAL, thank you for the upload...I was 19 when this song was released (from the album Dirty White Boy) and it depicted my teenage years at the time. Fast forward to today and two years after a successful 37 years of hanging high steel. I am still "bending those needles and tearin up the streets!" ~Michael~ "Ghostrider" ;)
