In January 2010, Foreigner performed a live recording of "Dirty White Boy" at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. By this time, the band had already solidified their reputation with several hit albums, with "Can't Slow Down" released in 2009 being their most recent studio album before this performance. This was a notable period for Foreigner as they had undergone a lineup change, with Kelly Hansen serving as the lead vocalist since 2005, bringing a fresh energy to the band. The performance at the Ryman showcases their enduring popularity and the classic rock sound that characterized their hits from the late 1970s and beyond. The live setting highlights Foreigner's ability to connect with audiences, emphasizing their rich catalog that blends powerful rock anthems with melodic hooks.
