Foreigner’s performance at Electric Lady Studios in New York on December 22, 1992 was a special broadcast show that captured the band in a transitional yet revitalized era, with Lou Gramm back on vocals and the group delivering a powerhouse set of classics alongside newer material.
This concert was recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios and later circulated as a soundboard broadcast, making it a high-quality snapshot of Foreigner’s live energy in the early ’90s. The setlist leaned heavily on their biggest hits from the late ’70s and ’80s, including “Long, Long Way From Home,” “Double Vision,” “Cold As Ice,” “Urgent,” and “Juke Box Hero”, all performed with the polished intensity that defined their arena rock sound. Lou Gramm’s return to the lineup in 1992 gave the show added significance, as his voice was central to Foreigner’s identity and the band was preparing for their next studio chapter, Mr. Moonlight (released in 1994).
The performance also featured deeper cuts like “That Was Yesterday” and newer tracks such as “Soul Doctor”, showing the band’s effort to balance nostalgia with forward momentum. The encore included their timeless ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is” and the hard-driving “Hot Blooded”, closing the night with both emotional resonance and rock swagger.
What makes this show notable is the combination of studio intimacy and broadcast reach—it wasn’t a massive arena gig, but rather a carefully staged performance that allowed fans to hear Foreigner in pristine sound quality. Electric Lady Studios itself added historical weight, being one of the most iconic recording spaces in New York, associated with Jimi Hendrix and countless other legends.
In short, this 1992 broadcast captured Foreigner reaffirming their legacy while reintroducing Lou Gramm’s voice to audiences, blending their chart-topping anthems with fresh material in a setting that emphasized both fidelity and atmosphere.

Foreigner, the British-American rock band formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran guitarist Mick Jones, ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald, and American vocalist Lou Gramm (along with Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood, and Ed Gagliardi), quickly rose to fame with their self-titled debut album in 1977, the first of four consecutive 5× platinum releases in the US, featuring Top 10 hits like “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice.” Their signature sound—built on Jones’ songwriting, Gramm’s powerful vocals, and a tight rhythm section—delivered sly lyrics and arena-ready hooks, with follow-ups Double Vision (1978) hitting No. 3 with “Hot Blooded,” Head Games (1979) reaching No. 5, and the chart-topping 4 (1981) spawning massive singles “Urgent,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” and “Juke Box Hero.” After a hiatus, they embraced a new image and sound on Agent Provocateur (1984), scoring the global No. 1 ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is,” followed by Inside Information (1987) and later albums like Unusual Heat (1991 with Johnny Edwards on vocals), Mr. Moonlight (1994 with Gramm back), and Can’t Slow Down (2009). Frontman Lou Gramm, born Louis Grammatico in Rochester, New York in 1950, began with Black Sheep before joining Foreigner, co-writing most of their hits and releasing acclaimed solo albums Ready or Not (1987) and Long Hard Look (1989), including “Midnight Blue” and “Just Between You and Me.” Over their career, Foreigner has sold more than 80 million records, charted 13 Top 40 hits, and remains a popular live act, with Gramm’s contributions defining their classic era.
