There has been many bootlegs put on sale of LOU GRAMM‘s show at RKO Studios show performed in 1987, but none sounds like this one – an unreleased version / no cuts taken from our collection.
While still fronting Foreigner, Gramm released his first solo album ‘Ready Or Not’ in January 1987 to critical acclaim. The single ‘Midnight Blue’ reached the top five. To promote the album, Lou performed this show at RKO Studios for radio broadcast.
With his stupendous band including terrific guitarist Bobby Messano and Bruce Turgon on bass & harmony vocals, Gramm was on fire that night proving why he was ready for a solo career.
