Foreigner & Styx - Concord, CA 2024 (LIVE) 

@@davewebbtheauthor 😂😂😂

​@@hooterville1863i think they're referring to how JY and tommy shaw are the only members from their heyday left. lol. not about if tommy is a replacement or not

@@hooterville1863 Feel better now? Lol. First of all, not a boomer, so you were off to a bad start right out of the shoot with your lame, tired, and misdirected insult. Second, I was just having a fun play on the percentage of these acts that are genuine in respect to who wrote and played on the most well-known songs that fans love and which are the real crowd-pleasers at every show. How much ownership does "Foreigner" have in those songs? None. They just play them. I've seen this version of Foreigner and they really were fantastic, but there are no members left on stage who actually recorded the music. I saw Journey with Arnel and they were also great, but only a percentage of the creators of their most well-known songs remain. The current version of Styx was one of the best concerts I ever attended, but some will disparage it because of no Dennis. Also, never heard of Nightwish, so whatever. Just calm down and try not to react so harshly next time.

Still in the band just stopped touring with the band due to health problems.

@@MaisieandTrenton I’m sure he meant “touring” band 🤟🤟

Styx is styx as long as Tommy Shaw is there

We drove 3 hrs from Fresno when it got canceled and made the trip again when they rescheduled.

@@donaldyoung9838 they were along with foreigner

Dennis is not in the band any more. He should be, but they won't let him come back.

Dennis is fronting a band that does pretty much all his Styx hits and more...so there's actually two of those bands doing the songs kinda like GFRR and Mark Farners American Band.

@@paultiberi641 Yes, that is true.

and they charge outrageous prices for this concert too!

They are just a high end cover band. They should be called a tribute to Foreigner

No disrespect to any of the members onstage. They are all very talented musicians. Imo, once you no longer have any original members, the name should be retired.

@@jeff5553 This is absolutely 100% spot on. How can they get away with calling themselves Foreigner anymore? I guess Mick Jones has signed off on it in order to keep the revenue stream flowing, maybe?

Well you could make a case that the group name is a business and the members are owners and just because there's not an original owner doesn't mean the business can't continue and succeed. Now if we're talking like a member who is iconic that is no longer involved that's different. But groups have fired their front men or lead guitar and carried on just as well. Lou Gramm was great but Kelly is really good too. Mick Jones wasn't doing much in the last tours, so I'm ok for this band carrying on without them.

then start your own "real" band, freddy.

yeah, they're nothing without "the voice"

to play free bird

One wrote and played a lot of their last two albums.

JY has gotten lazy

Thank you!! That is much appreciated 🙏

2 if you count Chuck Panozzo who still does a couple of songs with them on occasion. Tommy has been in the band since 1976... so I'd say that counts. I just don't get why you dipshits have to knock something you didn't even go see?

Styx has 2 of the 3 main members from its hitmaking days. Tommy may not be an original member, but he was the catalyst to them becoming a hitmaking band only after he arrived.

Two original members and they usually bring on another original to play some songs

@@stewartjv52 Tommy's not an original member. And John Ponazzo rarely appears

@@gilhodges2025 i know that but he has been with them since the 70’s when I first saw them so he is to me. I saw them in 1978 when I was almost 20

Pretty much. Every song is included in this concert but most if not all are cut a little short due to arm fatigue from recording lol

@@MaisieandTrenton ahhh ok Cool . I thought each band would play about 90 minutes. Good job filming !

@petermacnab1871 John Waite played about 40 minutes while Foreigner & Styx played about 75 minutes each and thank you for watching!

In the middle wearing the hat

@@MaisieandTrenton - TY! If only the show had gone on, I would’ve known that.

Maybe not to you - have you seen them since to back up your opinion?

@@publiusking8004 Yes I have. Styx back in 1982 in Seattle and Foreigner in 1985 in L.A.

@@albertomendez4922 right. I mean since DeYoung 25 years ago. I first saw Styx in '81 and have seen them 15 times since then and 22; I've seen DDY twice. Both are anything but sad.

I love the new Keyboard player. And Tommy Shaw

What a horrible song to open up,

How? I saw them at Camden and they didn't impress me but they were terrible either.

Thank you, enjoyed it immensely. Just shows that Lou can truly never be replaced. He did (does) not have to do aerobics exercises on stage to get noticed, he was just hot hot hot. Thank you Lou!

@@danbazan1691 ..no Lou can't sing on pitch and key anymore. It's obvious to me. I'm a singer of 50 years and I can tell. Kelly Hanson at this point has a stronger and more precise voice. He even sounds like Lou. Age can be a factor but misusing and abusing your voice is more the culprit. Singing over your level, smoking, drinking, drugs,dry throat, too much singing... These are all factors in killing your voice. I am now going on 74 and I can sing better now than in my twenties. Why because I've learned how to do it better and constantly tried to improve which is what all musicians and singers should be trying to do all their lives. Take good care of your voice. Don't try to sing what you can't really sing. Choose keys and notes carefully and practice a lot.

you've got to be kidding.

@@timcollinsable No he aint kidding,,,,,,,,,Styx singer reminds me of a Carnival Barker,,,,,,,,,,,,I bet if the Ted Nugent Band played without Ted Nugent people would say ,,it was a Great show,,,,,,,,,,,,these fake bands must really be Hard up for money and they SUCK,,,,ya couldnt PAY ME to watch this load of Crap

Kelly Hansen is a solid singer and has been around for years.For his age, he's very much on key...When he was in the band Hurricane ,"I'm On To You" was a great song.

@@tonfan I will admit he's an excellent karaoke singer....but that's just it....HE'S A KARAOKE SINGER! Those are Lou Gramm songs. period.

Kelly is one of the few rock singers who delivers flawless performances. I've never heard him slip out of key or miss nuances. That said, I believe you were trying to convey that the original is irreplaceable, and I agree with you for the most part. Certain singers have a unique timbre that sets them apart. Lou, in his prime, was an excellent singer, and I too loved him, but that is no longer the case. If you were to see Foreigner with him on vocals now, I believe you would be disappointed. What Kelly has done for a band that was no more is actually quite incredible. The arrangements are more energetic, and his showmanship has given the band new life. However, I must agree with others on this forum that paying a premium to hear a cover band is unreasonable. Nonetheless, Kelly is a phenomenal singer and deserves praise for his accomplishments-something you and I can't match. Those are my thoughts on the matter.

how?!

in your opinion; I have seen both many times and they were both great in my opinion.

That's probably because you're a tone deaf MORON!

This weekend will have seen Styx 5 times. The first time when I was 19 in the 70’s. They still sound the same all these years later. My favorite band.

You're an idiot

The beautiful thing is that NO ONE gives a shit what you would do... so there's that.

@@markweber4854. Thanks and that is a beautiful thing.
