Lou Gramm and the original members, Mick Jones, Al Greenwood, Ian McDonald, Dennis Elliot, and Rick Wills all sound fantastic and kick off their set with with “Feels Like The First Time”, which is performed perfectly. The production quality both visually and sonically are 5 Stars. The fact that Foreinger was able to assemble the bands current lineup with original lineup together on one stage, is a phenominal achievement in it’s own right. In fact, this is by far the best concert film Foreigner has ever released in it’s 40 year history. “This long awaited reunion concert film is simply Magnificent. I don’t do a lot of digital music…downloading the songs only still feels like I’m being shortchanged. “ There’s no arguing that MFSL has remastered these albums and they’re easily the best versions I’ve found. A twelve page booklet filled with album art and lyrics made my day. Now comes Head Games, my wife’s favorite Foreigner album. Pretty bland and vanilla, but the music was great. Double Vision came pretty much stock and didn’t have any lyric inserts at all. Album art was recreated well, but…I like holding something and reading when I listen to the music, so inserts are important to me. The Foreigner debut album on MFSL SACD Hybrid came with a mild track listing insert with lyrics, and it was four mild pages. The Foreigner albums on MFSL are packaged differently. “Foreigner is one of those seventies bands that I never outgrew, and they’re still on my playlist. “When Foreigner Records came out in 1982,Foreigner had only released for albums.Foreigner,Double Vision,Head Games,and 4,all good albums,but somebody thought they needed a greatest hits album already,with only having 4 albums out.With 10 songs Records represents the Foreigner radio experience very well,the album only contains songs that you should know.Cold As Ice,Feels Like the First Time, and Long, Long Way from Home all come from Foreigner’s 1977 self titled album.Double Vision is from the album of the same name.The Head Games album is represented by Head Games and Dirty White Boy.Then 4 is represented by Waiting for a Girl Like You(Foreigner’s best ballad),Urgent,and Jukebox Hero.Then there is a live version of HOt Blooded from the 1982 tour,which has to be the best version of Hot Blooded I have ever heard,the energy is great.It blows the studio version away!With 10 songs and running around 40 minutes,it’s just like any other album to come out in the 70’s or 80’s.Your average album was usually 30-40 minutes,less is more.” Click and enjoy the sounds from one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time.
