A newly unearthed soundboard recording from 1996 features the band “Foreigner”—known for numerous hits from the '70s and '80s—following the return of original member Lou Gram! This complete recording captures their performance at the “Oregon State Fair” outdoor festival held in Salem, Oregon, on August 31, 1996, sourced from a soundboard recording leaked by an insider. Live performances from this period, following Lou Gram’s return after his departure, are extremely rare. Since the band went on hiatus the following year (1997) due to the worsening of his health, this is a highly sought-after and valuable soundboard recording. The setlist consists entirely of classic hits, and this release marks the first-ever release of a rare live recording featuring a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” during “Jukebox Hero”!
