Foreigner & Styx with John Waite Budweiser Stage ,June 14,2024

0:11 John Waite
41:19 Foreigner
1:58:20 Styx

[@brade85]

Props and much respect to John Waite for declaring at the 19:12 mark that "we have no brass section, orchestra or backup singers and we are on a budget" etc. and then just banging it out live with no lip synching, no running backing tracks or any smoke and mirrors! They could easily cheat and enhance the sound and harmonies with a cheap laptop but unlike many bands nowadays have chosen not to fake it. Thats worth the price of admission right there! A live show should be a live show!

[@mohlman5411]

If you're going to call out tribute bands, then you might as well include Styx. Only one member is original and that's J.Y Young, who sang Miss America. The original bass player Chuck Panozzo comes out for a song or two. Technically, you can actually name a number of bands today that are tribute bands with maybe one or two original members.

[@brianshaffneraclc]

@@mohlman5411 True. They were always Mick Jones' band, anyway, and he was in right up until he couldn't do it anymore. I can understand finding it hard to listen to them minus Gramm, but he's been gone for a long time now.

[@DoctorDetroit100]

I agree with all the John Waite fans, Foreigner and Styx are shells of once great bands. As for John Waite, his voice has aged very well. The Doctor would have been there but I would have left after John's show. Plus the fans seem to not know that they are seeing a living legend.

How can you call this Foreigner with no original members? I don’t get it.

[@corykottick9996]

Maybe because Mick Jones is still part of the band, but doesn't play on stage.

[@alandesgrange9703]

Jones owns the name. He could send out the 3 stooges, and still legally call it Foreigner.

The tribute as you call it, is better than what the original band would sound like today.

[@DannyCorr-ip8yy]

I agree. You're going to pay a high price for this tribute band. There's a band called Double Vision that is a tribute band and they sound great. I think they sound better than this Foreigner band. The tribute band called Double Vision has tickets at a much lower price than these guys. In fact, it only cost me $66 for the Double Vision Foreigner cover band, and they sound just as good if not better. You can search for Double Vision on KZbin and watch their performance at Daryl's House. If you play at Daryl's House, you've got to be good! LOL

[@Daryl-xz4in]

​@@6345788Since they only play songs from before Kelly Hansen and Jeff Pilson I would say that yes they are a tribute band. If they played some songs from "Can't Slow Down" then you may be able to argue that they aren't a tribute band, but when nobody in the band originally played on any of the songs in their setlist that makes them a tribute band.

[@AudioFileZ]

Styx still brings it through to the inspired performances of the actual songs they've made a part of the rock lexicon. Waite was pretty much a journeyman solo dude after The Babys and he can still bring it from both eras if at a more mature clip. Foreigner may, at times, sound right but somethings off. I think it is in the case of Foreigner a pure money grab. Save for Lou and lynchpin Mick they were never too much of a "face" band, but even so this just has a kind of hollow feel. I don't mean to be negative, but if I saw them I wouldn't feel like saying I just saw Foreigner. A good tribute band in my reckoning, but in no way Foreigner.
