Foreigner

In January 1981, Foreigner was riding high on the success of their third studio album, "Head Games," which had been released in 1979. This live concert recorded in Dortmund, Germany, showcases the band at a pivotal moment in their career, just prior to the release of their fourth album, "4," which would arrive later that year and feature hits like "Urgent" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You." The performance reflects the band's burgeoning popularity in the late '70s and early '80s, as they seamlessly blended rock and pop elements. Interestingly, the concert captures Foreigner’s powerful stage presence and the chemistry between band members, particularly leading vocalist Lou Gramm and guitarist Mick Jones, who were instrumental in shaping the band’s sound. This live recording also serves as a testament to the band’s ability to engage audiences, leading to their continued success in the rock genre throughout the decade.
