Foreigner

The live recording of "Hot Blooded" at the Rainbow Theatre in April 1978 represents a pivotal moment in Foreigner's early career, occurring shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album in 1977 and just before the launch of their second album, "Double Vision," which would come out later that year. By this point, Foreigner had already begun to establish themselves as a significant force in rock music, bolstered by the success of hits like "Cold As Ice" and "Feels Like the First Time." The band's lineup at this performance includes classic members such as Lou Gramm and Mick Jones, solidifying their identity in the rock genre. An interesting aspect of this live performance is the vibrant energy that reflects the band's rising popularity in the late '70s and their ability to connect with the audience, a testament to their burgeoning status in the music scene. The Rainbow show is noted for showcasing their raw talent during an exciting phase of creative momentum.
