AN ALBUM I WAS NOT EXPECTING.

THIS LIVE ALBUM I WAS SHOCKED TO ALL GLORY WHEN I FIRST LAYED EYES ON THE BEST OF FOREIGNER LIVE. THIS CLASSIC LIVE CD IS THE BEST LIVE CD CONCERT IN FOREIGNER-ROCK HISTORY. I LOVE THIS ALBUM. AND I OWN IT TO. CAUSTION: THIS ALBUM MY CAUSE DOUBLE VISON.

Foreigner Rock Out On Stage

Foreigner's "The Best Of Live" is a compilation of live tracks recorded over the years between 1977 and 1985. It is also solid proof that Foreigner were a *major* powerhouse in concert. Singer Lou Gramm, guitarist Mick Jones & company totally rock out on such favorites as "Double Vision," "The Damage Is Done," "Dirty White Boy," "Head Games," "Juke Box Hero," "Urgent,"and "Feels Like The First Time." They also handle the softer stuff live with style as well, such as "Fool For You Anyway," "Waiting For A Girl Like You," and "I Want To Know What Love Is" (featuring accompanyment by a gospel choir). The only disappointment is that there's no live version of "Hot Blooded," but then again, there IS a live version of that hit song on Foreigner's greatest hits package, "Records," and it also appears as a bonus track on the new "Double Vision" remaster, so I can't really complain. Foreigner were--and are--one of rock's finest bands. "The Best Of Live" is an awesome document of what Lou, Mick & the boys could do on the concert stage. Put it on and rock out with Foreigner!

What happened to Hot Blooded?

Foreigner's Classic Hits Live is everything a live album should.The concerts were captured onto tape very good. The live setting also, makes Foreigner come across heavier than they do on their studio albums. The album plays like on whole concert for the most, you don't really notice that these songs are from various shows until you reach side two of the tape. All of the biggest hits are present, except for Hot Blooded, which kind of puzzles me it is one of my favorite Foreigner songs and one of their most popular, but we got a live version of Hot Blooded on "Records". I recommend this for all Foreigner fans and all rock and roll fans, this is how a live album should be done.
