This is NO Jr. Walker... ugh 

[Reneedebruin]

@Danielmutt Well, I don't think that Thom Gimbel is pretending to be, he makes his own version and hey, Junior Walker only played on the original record, he never played with Foreigner on whatever live performance or show, so it's not even fair to compare. If you want to compare, then compare the Foreigner members who played the sax in previous line-ups and the current line-up.

[Reneedebruin]

And all members playing the sax were damn good, otherwise ol' Mick Jones wouldn't have selected them for Foreigner in the first place!!!

[MacMark2]

a better unpluggt version is on the "the definitive" album (last song). but this is still great. thx all "foreigner's in the world".the most of us,but only you not!!!

[Reneedebruin]

I have that cd and it's indeed the best unplugged version of "Urgent" and it makes me wish there was a video of that existing!!!

Lou sounded amazing, as good as the studio version if not better.

[tryithere]

@Reneedebruin Hell, he only played the solo.

[lovelougramm4ever]

Lou Gramm always deliver magnificent :-)

What pipes! Gritty, edgy, soulful. I love Lou Gramm.

The original solo was not one continuous piece. It was put together in the studio out of pieces. This guy is the first one of their players to do it right. Just like the record. Well, that ive seen, anyway.

wow Lou sounds really good here, i think even his bandmates are amazed by Lou...they all looking a bit in his direction.finally we never know

[bigmaxy07]

It looks like Mick was pleased with the sax solo.

@ny4000 I saw Lou before his health problems, some 20 years after the recordings. It floored me hearing what sounded like the original recordings.. Then i saw him after and it was so sad. I beleive lou is now performing in another arena of artist..

@Reneedebruin

Gets Your facts straight!!! Junior walker Played once in california and once in New york. Read it in a junior walker cover......As a matter a fact it took Mutt Lange and Mick Jones 2=days to edit several individual recordings to get the Great Junior Walker Solo we here on the original Recording..... What amazed the Band when junior played is that He Played the Solo just as it was edited at the studio... The Band was Floored according to Mick Jones.....

@KeplersLawProject - absolutely agree with you - Lou Gramm is still considered as one of the best pop/rock voices for the last 30 years - a real icon !!!!
