“This band was founded 13 blocks up on Broadway so it’s good to be home,” said Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones, before the legendary rockers catapulted into a two-hour set at New York’s Nokia Theatre Friday night.
Foreigner played everything: “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice,” “Dirty White-Boy,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For a Girl Like You,” and a moving “Starrider” by Jones on vocals.
Fans at the show included some 1,500 die-hards, Jones’ step-daughter Charlotte Ronson, and Kirsten Dunst, who sang along from her seat in the balcony.
But alas, no Foreigner set would have been complete without the band’s 1984 staple ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is”!
Watch below as frontman Kelly Hansen gets the crowd to sing along. (Not as eloquently as him, unfortch!)
