WATCH ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF FOREIGNER PERFORM “FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME” FROM “DOUBLE VISION: THEN AND NOW” DVD
With more than 80 million albums sold and 16 Top 30 hits, Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world. Now, Foreigner – Double Vision: Then And Now takes viewers behind the scenes as original bandmembers join Mick Jones and Foreigner’s current lineup for the very first time in the band’s 40-year history. Both incarnations of the band share the same stage for an epic performance. A performance of the song, Feels Like The First Time, can be seen below.
Watch rock and roll history with one of music’s most anticipated reunion events as Foreigner – Double Vision: Then And Now celebrates the 40th anniversary of the band’s multi-platinum 1978 album Double Vision with a masterful live performance of the band’s biggest hits, filmed at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
Original members Lou Gramm, Al Greenwood, Dennis Elliott, Ian McDonald and Rick Wills take the stage with Mick Jones and Foreigner — Kelly Hansen, Tom Gimbel, Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein, Bruce Watson and Chris Frazier — to rock through some of the best-selling songs that bring back the memories that make it feel like the first time for both long-time fans and new generations.
Says Jones, “This was a show that I will always remember. Sharing the stage with the guys that shaped Foreigner in the beginning and the stellar musicians that carry the flag in the new millennium was a truly emotional moment.”
“We wanted to stage an elaborate production for the very first Foreigner – Then And Now reunion concert,” says award-winning executive producer Barry Summers of Rock Fuel Media, who created this explosive rock celebration.”Something unlike any other previous Foreigner show has captured on film, that both visually and sonically breathes new life into their amazing classic songs — the songs that I grew up on — for the fans to enjoy for many years to come. I believe we achieved that in this film and live album.”
Filmed in 4K Ultra HD using over 24 camera positions, the concert film features a stunning multimedia set design, with custom CGI animation, lasers, fog, and elaborate FX that elevate this powerful performance to new levels.

…he’s not ducking those notes…he takes them head on and finds this cool new way to sing them…
Lou ‘s voice sounds solid and confident- after what he has been through that’s pretty awesome he’s obviously worked hard at finding his new voice , he’s also in his 60’s – just feel very happy for him – I have seen foreigner out touring recently with no original members – that’s wrong on every level – you cannot call yourself foreigner with no original members –
Truly amazing, 69 years old, been through hell, and Gramm can still sing that good! Great idea/concept – “Then And Now,” everybody’s happy! I see KISS eventually doing something very similar, but how? You can’t have 2 Catmen and 2 Spacemen (talk about “Double Vision!” 😉 even though there’s really only 1 of each) so whaddya do?
And nobody expects Paul to be able to sing like he did 40 years ago either, but take some advice from Lou, keep it real! Don’t lip sync! So you can’t hit every note anymore, so what, we know when a singer is struggling, but no wuckin’ furries, we’ll back you up! Fans would rather fill in the blanks than have a machine do it! We filled in for Gene (and others) before plenty of times when he lost his voice! 🙂

That was PHENOMENAL!!! Late 60s/early 70s, they sounded amazing! My God, Lou hasn’t sounded this great in years. I am so happy to hear him in such a great voice. He’s been through so much. I had chills watching this! Loved it!
Proper Foreigner – that singer they’ve got today can’t tie Lou Gramm’s shoelaces.
