I remember putting on the Foreigner's first album on the parents HiFi; an instant lifelong fan. "Long, Long way from Home", "I want to know what love is" are my favs. "Girl Like You" is still hot (as is Walter Egan's "Magnet and Steel"). Journey favs. are "Frontiers" and "OH Sherry", but Steve Perry's voice was sharp for long listens... Also on my lifelong list, I saw Styx Grand Illusion tour in a small Ice Rink setting in the 70s - like a personal show - still my favorite to this day.<br /><br />Cheers! and Happy Thanksgiving...<br />s-a-h-dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-49498208461994221662010-11-23T14:36:58.904-05:002010-11-23T14:36:58.904-05:00They played an ice show that was on TV over the we...They played an ice show that was on TV over the weekend...of course they included "Cold As Ice." <br /><br />The lead singer is OK. Not as distinctive as Lou Gramm, but they still sound pretty good. <br /><br />I thought of another forgotten favorite: "I Don't Want to Live Without Your Love." That to me is as pretty and romantic as "Waiting For A Girl Like You."Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-54392076816653140852010-11-23T13:46:12.702-05:002010-11-23T13:46:12.702-05:00I love Foreigner!

But is it still good without Lou Gramm's voice? <br /><br />@Retro Hound - yep, and "Feels Like the First Time", "Double Vision" and "Blue Morning, Blue Day." <br /><br />Yeah, I would've regretted missing my chance, too.

O..."Cold as Ice." Man I love that song.<br /><br />Once we had a school trip to Wichita, KS (I lived in a small town 2+ hours away) and we drove by the place where Foreigner was going to be in concert that same night! A few of us almost ditched the school bus to catch the show and ride the Grayhound home. The bus station is only a few blocks from the concert venue. We really should have done it.Retro Houndhttp://www.retrohound.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-57912501382969302912010-11-19T11:19:27.031-05:002010-11-19T11:19:27.031-05:00I love Foreigner's music as well.

Same goes for Journey's latest - "Revelation".Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631388281199815121noreply@blogger.com
