Good lord what a show, it was two and a half hours of nonstop hits
Joan was Joan, just as raw but tight as she was back in the day, her lead guy used a little bit of crybaby pedal on one song and she used a little bit of chorus pedal here and there... but otherwise it was straight up no frills rock n roll
She is teeeeeeny tiny, basically a midget, I doubt she is even 5 foot... but her voice sounds just like the radio versions, strong as hell
Foreigner, what can I say... there wasnt a single original member onstage, the only one still with them, lead guitarist Mick Jones, has been absent from several recent shows including this one
That said, wow man, they simply sounded incredible, you might remember their new singer Kelly Hansen from an 80s hair band called Hurricane (watched them open for Stryper back in the day)... let me tell you, THAT guy can belt that shit out
I was amazed at his energy, dude was dancing and running around like hell, yet hit every single note with serious power
No way old Lou Graham can match the younger guys intensity, just like Joan, everything they did sounded radio quality
Drum solos are mostly a relic of the past, but their guy did one that genuinely impressed, it was unreal... my buddy googled him while it was going on, it turns out his resume is crazy, toured with Vai etc
They opened with a megahit, and just kept churning them out the entire set... original members or not, I didnt feel cheated one bit
