Foreigner - Live in Tokyo 1985 (2024) [Alive The Live Series]

In 1985, Foreigner embarked on a nine-month world tour as one of the biggest bands on the planet. Their fifth album, ‘Agent Provocateur’, had gone triple platinum in the U.S. while its lead single, I Want to Know What Love Is, had been embraced as a classic rock anthem around the world.
At the top of their game, the group strode onstage for the Super Rock ’85 Japan festival in Tokyo. From hard rock classics such as ‘Head Games’, ‘Luanne’, or ‘Urgent’ to the ubiquitous ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’, the band were no longer foreigners in a strange land as Japan welcomed them home.
King Street presents this vintage, classic performance with a fully restored and professionally remastered audio (A+ quality) complemented by background notes and timeline photos.
