Foreigner - In The Eye Of The Storm - Celebrating 50 Years - Black Vinyl

The guys of Foreigner are celebrating their 50th year, and they're not doing it lightly. They're stepping into it like a band that still trusts that they know how to make things interesting.

In the Eye of the Storm arrives July 17, doubling as the soundtrack to the concert film that's expected in theaters later this summer. The video for "Feels Like the First Time" will splice in footage from that soaked, slightly chaotic night. This wasn't some tidy anniversary taping. The concert, filmed near the iconic Statue of Liberty, had the group performing amid torrential rain, thunder and lightning that hit New York City, so it was dramatic, to say the least.

The track itself leans into the band's long, complicated lineage. You've got Lou Gramm, Kelly Hansen and Luis Maldonado all taking turns on a song that's been doing heavy lifting since the late 1970s. It could have been a mess, but instead, it sounds like a relay race where nobody drops the baton.

Fifty years in, and they're still going after that spark and flirting with the storm. We're lucky to still have Foreigner around.
