At The Great New York State Fair this past Saturday, all time rockers ‘Foreigner’ came ready to rock. Syracuse was one of many stops on their 2022 Tour. The group formed in the Mid- 70’s in New York, New York 1976 and soon became a well known rock and roll band.
Foreigner skyrocketed in the 1970’s after releasing some of their top hits which still stand to this day. Such as, ‘Feels like the First Time’, ‘Cold as Ice’ and ‘Long, Long Way from Home’ back in 1977. Their first album was also released in 1977 by the name “foreigner”. Although, Foreigner hasn’t released since 1984 their performance and energy still puts on a stunning show. The crowd brought in not only the older generation but the younger generation as well which keeps their music alive.
One of the most memorable songs from the concert was “Juke Box Hero”. The song originated from a story of one of their fans who stood in the rain for hours just to see the show. That feeling stands today with foreigner’s fans urging to get the best view in hopes to see the all time rockers up close. Kelly Hanson (lead vocals) mentioned in the show that the band had just hit their 45th year anniversary since their first release in 1977. A proud moment not only for the band but the fans supporting the history they’ve created with rock and roll.
Overall, Foreigner has done an outstanding job keeping their music alive. Since celebrating the 45th anniversary, foreigner fans look forward to the years ahead for the band. Moving forward, the band continues their tour at their next stop in Bluffs, Iowa on September 2nd, 2022.
