hit band Foreigner at Chinook Winds
on Oct. 17-18.
This legendary rock band will per­

stay in your seat as they bring back old
memories and start some new ones
with their ever-popular songs.
Formed in 1976. the band was made
up of experienced British musicians
Mick Jones and Ian McDonald, and
four relative newcomers to the arena
of major rock, British musician Den­
nis Elliott and Americans Ed Gagliardi.
Lou Gramm and Alan Greenwood.
Less than a year after getting to­
gether. the six released their first album.
Foreigner (March 7. 1977) and within

“We grew up in front of the public
and made all our mistakes in front of
crowds of kids,” says Dennis Elliott.
But despite the chaos, the music car­
ried them through and the fans didn't
seem to care.
“The problem at first.” says Lou

Double Vision (June 20. 1978). Once
again, they experienced surprising suc­
cess and two more top 10 singles, all
while their first album was still on the
national charts.
A year later their third album. Head
Gaines (Sept. 11, 1979), hit the charts
and produced two more hit singles.
Surrounded by controversy at the time
and considered a failure for the band.
Head Gaines went on to sell 5 million
copies in the U.S. alone.
In 2002. the 25th anniversary year
brought affirmation of the enduring re­
spect for Foreigner recordings with
Rhino Entertainment re-issuing the
1977-1981 multi-platinum albums in
special enhanced formats. Foreigner,
Double Vision, Head Games and 4 re­
ceived the loving attention of Rhino's
staff and bloomed again with new pho­
tos. liner notes and bonus tracks of pre­
viously unreleased material.
New Greatest Hits albums also were
produced in the U.S. and Europe. And
in 2001. the Warner Music Group se­
lected Foreigner and 4 to be among the
first group of albums from their cata­
log to be re-mastered, enhanced and
released in the new DVD audio format.
Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets range
from $20-$50.

the top players in the world.
