"on this trash!!! This is one of the worst, if not the worst, music DVD's I have ever seen. The sound is horrible (sounds like an AM radio in mono) and most of the footage is grainy and unclear. And they waste movie time by interviewing people like Bud Prager, who is a FORMER manager who was FIRED for stealing money from the band!!!!! Nice, huh? Plus, they are charging $30 for the darn thing!!! I wouldn't pay $3!!!
Don't waste your money...
If you are into Foreigner and are looking for a good DVD, try Foreigner "25 All Access Tonight (my favorite) or Foreigner "Live at Deer Creek". Both are worth the less than $20 that you will spend on them."

An Essential Part Of Any Foreigner Video Collection!

"If you're a Foreigner fan, especially one who admires their early work & original lineups, this DVD reissue of the original 1991 video is an essential part of any Foreigner collection. It's more a "Behind The Music" style documentary than a concert video, but much of the concert video is vintage late 70's footage of the original lineup that can't be found anywhere else. This footage provides some seldom seen treats, such as getting to watch singer Lou Gramm & original drummer Dennis Elliott performing their late 70's trademark dual drum-solo...something they stopped doing in the 80's. The interview's include discussions with members no longer in the band, as well as with founder Mick Jones & singer Lou Gramm, and provide a great deal of history & information not covered anywhere else. Foreigner was never a band to do lots of interviews or engage in self-promotion, preferring to let their music "do the talking" instead. As a result however, many of the millions of listeners who enjoyed & bought their music over the years know very little about the band itself...surprising for a group that's sold over 40 million albums in the U.S. alone. This DVD provides a very rare glimpse of the individuals behind those major-selling albums & hard-rocking hits, as well as comments from their former manager, Billy Joel & others. Concert footage covers most of their best known songs, including Feels Like The First Time, Cold As Ice, Hot Blooded, Double Vision, Juke Box Hero & Urgent (filmed at the time each respective song was new, and performed by the same members who recorded the original studio version), as well as featuring the complete video of I Want To Know What Love Is."

Like being at a Foreigner concert and beyond !!!

"This video is almost as good as being at a Foreigner concert. It also gives a biography of the band, and describes how each member joined. I have seen this band several times and the video is like seeing them over and over. Every Foreigner fan should have this video!!"

Essential Selection For Any Foreigner Video Collection

"This DVD reissue/re-release of the 1991 video comes as a welcome breath of fresh air especially in light of the recent release of the "Live From Deer Creek" and "25th Anniversary All-Access" DVDs. It's not a concert video but rather a tribute/"get-to-know" documentary of the original band member line-up that produced ALL the famous Foreigner hits (not the current nostalgia/Vegas lounge act touring as Foreigner in recent years). My only complaint about this video documentary is that there wasn't more of it !"
