KFIX Rock News: Foreigner Releasing Live Album In Celebration Of 1981’s “4”

foreigner-2014-best-of-4-more-cdForeigner will release a new live album this month that celebrates the band’s classic 1981 album 4.

The Best of Foreigner 4 & More, which hits stores on December 16, was recorded in high-definition at two shows that the group’s current lineup played in early October in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The album offers live renditions of seven of the 10 tunes featured on the 4 track list, including “Urgent,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Break It Up.”

The record also boasts concert performances of major hits such as “Feels Like the First Time,” “Cold as Ice,” “Hot Blooded” and “I Want to Know What Love Is,” which appeared on other Foreigner albums.

“Our music has touched a lot of people worldwide and we’ve unwittingly weaved our music into the fabric of people’s lives,” says the band’s founding lead guitarist and main songwriter, Mick Jones.

Adds longtime bass player Jeff Pilson, “Great songs, great performances and great production are timeless.  4 has all three in spades…Bringing the album to life on stage with the energy and passion the band has always maintained, made us very happy.”

Current Foreigner frontman Kelly Hansen, meanwhile, notes that the new album includes “some tracks that were never previously performed live in this format.”

You can listen to the new live version of “Juke Box Hero” from the album now at USAToday.com.

4 spent a total of 10 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart during 1981 and ’82, and has gone on to sell more than 6 million copies in the U.S.
