I'm not a big Foreigner fan but the solo in Hot Blooded always does it for me. I heard the guitar speakers caught fire during the recording.
I liked Foreigner and most of my friends loved them so I heard a lot of them back in the day. That was my favorite solo from any of there songs by far.

Veering off-topic, the Classic Albums series - primarily the early ones - is great. I love watching them break down the master tapes and highlight parts that maybe don't get as much notice. I have several on DVD. Highly recommend the eps on "Who's Next" and "Rumours". There's a bit on the "Rumours" one where they play one of the songs talking about Lindsey Buckingham's parts, and you kind of think, "Yeah, that's the song." Then they play an isolated guitar part that doesn't sound like it fits, but when they put it together with the other parts, boom - it's suddenly all there.0+
The later eps seemed to become more of a band history or a sort of documentary of the band at that point of their career. Much less breakdown of the songs and the album. Unfortunately for me, those included Rush, Zappa, and Iron Maiden.

Same here! I did see them live back in the late 90's and they were on point. Good stuff! Pink Floyd(no Waters) Forigner, Cheap Trick,,Van Halen (not Van Hagar) and Prince...thus far in my lifetime, were they best I have seen to date live...I'm going to see Gov't Mule and Black Stone Cherry tomorrow night.. Floyd can't be beat live.... period. Prince Live was incredible, and a close second...we'll see how they all stack up after my first concert in over 10 years...dang I'm getting old! I really gotta get out more...
Side note: there is an "above average" chance that I was partaking in some type of "performance enhancing" herbal supplements at the time which made it even better. Point still stands though.
If you haven't seen Rush back in the day, then your perspective is skewed.Not that others aren't good or great, but Rush in the 80s was an incredible live show.

Absolutely!Rush in 2016 was still an incredible live show. They never disappoint!
