One of my favorite songs of all time!!!

Postby G.I.Jim » Sun Nov 25, 2007 2:21 am

Thought many of you would love to hear this song! I've always been a huge Foreigner fan, and my favorite song is "That was yesterday". I have this video on dvd, and it's one of favorites. These guys are still awesome live. Their new vocalist is so similar it's freaky! This video still has Lou on vocals. Awesome!!! The drummer kicks ass in the intro, and Mic is of course always fantastic! Hope you enjoy...

I like that live version. Cool. I like "I Wanna Know What Love Is" a tad more, but this one is great too. I saw Kelly Hansen live this year when they toured with DL. He was great. Really does sound a lot like Lou Gramm and he has great stage presence. Very entertaining! 8)

Love this! My absolute favorite Foreigner song!! Always loved Lou Gramm's voice (it's a female thing! :P ).

Just for you. This is after all of Lou's health issues, but still sounds great to me.

I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.

Thanks Rick!!! You can tell he strains a bit, but it's still great! I wish I could have seen them with Lou but I didn't start all this concert travel stuff until this year. That was a great live version! Love the full orchestra and choir. They don't do that anymore and it would be so cool to see that song live that way. 8)

This is one of their best songs. I always wondered what a Schon/Graham collaboration would sound like. Poor Lou, what happened to him is so tragic.

That DVD was recorded about a mile down the road from my house. That particular song is the best one from that show, in my opinion and I absolutely love the new intro they did on that song.

I'm with you on that intro! I wish they would have put it in the original recording, but I guess it makes it seem a little more special to see the live version! I absolutely LOVE the "Live at Deer Creek" dvd! The only thing bad about it was whoever edited the footage used too many weird effects with the film. Other then that, the sound quality is amazing!

I must say, I bought their other live dvd a few years after (can't remember the name of it), but it absolutely sucked!!! I've never even made it through that dvd once. I can't believe their management would put something like that out to consumers! It was filmed well after Lou's health issues, and the vocals are just plain horrible. It's really sad to see him like that, because to me he's one of the best vocalists of all time! It would be the same to see Perry out there struggling to catch his breath, never coming close to hitting any of the notes, etc... Really sad. I hope his health is better now. I'd LOVE to hear something new from him.
