FOREIGNER and BILLY SQUIER November 1981

November 4, 1981 – Foreigner & Billy Squier at Riverfront Coliseum The New York Times said, "Foreigner preened like demigods... Billy Squier was just one of the boys." Touring in support of their ‘4’ LP, Foreigner had a huge inflatable jukebox onstage for the song “Jukebox Hero”. I remember how chintzy it looked and I thought Billy Squier was much better than the headliner. He was riding high on his new single “The Stroke”, but wouldn’t attain headliner status until the following year. Here's a great recording of Foreigner live in Dallas in October 1981:

Better still is this hour-long pro shot video of Billy Squier on the west coast just two weeks after the Cincinnati show:
