2018 live release. This magnificent concert was recorded at KKL Luzern, Switzerland on May 20th and 21st 2017 and thus became the very first Foreigner album, recorded with orchestra and choir. Together with The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, the performance showcases some of rock n' roll's most enduring anthems and countless fan favorites. Featuring original new arrangements and instrumentations, Foreigner's signature songs can be enjoyed from a completely new perspective and with fantastic sound quality. Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock bands in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums and sold out concert tours. From 'Cold As Ice' to 'Hot Blooded', 'Urgent' to 'Juke Box Hero' and 'Waiting for a Girl Like You'. Foreigner's thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans. Today, over 80 million albums later, Foreigner is an ensemble of talented musicians each adding their individual credentials to make the band stronger and more powerful than ever. Besides founding member and leader Mick Jones on lead guitar and vocals, the band s line up consists of Kelly Hansen (Ex-Hurricane) as lead singer, Tom Gimbel (Aerosmith) on guitar, saxophone, flute, and backing vocals; Jeff Jacobs on keyboards, Jeff Pilson (Ex-Dokken, Dio and MSG) on bass; and Jason Bonham (son of Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham) on drums.

This is basically a greatest hits CD
This is basically a greatest hits CD, but with a Symphony and Choir. The band keeps to the original versions of each song, all the riffs, notes and arrangements are there and performed well. Kelly nails the vocals and may be the best part of each song. He is just a great singer and hits all of Lou's notes. The Symphony and Choir are very tastefully integrated into the songs and even have some stand alone pieces.Overall - very good. If you love Foreigner, you will love this. Go support the band.

Love Symphonic Rock!
This is great. Saw the live show on tv and decided to buy the cd to listen to. I love it when rock bands add symphonic music to their music. Makes for an awesome listen.

Features all of their original hits plus new arrangements. All great sounds!
I have always loved Foreigner from their earliest days, but I must say this is the most brilliant performance and collaboration yet. Featuring The 21st Century Symphony & Choir for support, this is pure excellence in a record-setting performance! I love it!!
