Foreigner could not have been better!!. The show was not only filled with great songs and singing but the lead singer was action plus. He surprised the audience by showing up twice in the audience through out the show. He and the one guitar player blonde hair in black ran around the stage constantly. He the lead singer (not the writer of most of the songs) but lead person with multi colored scarf around his neck was constantly connecting with the audience. Stories of who wrote most of the hit songs by Foreigner. They celebrated 40 years of music while we were there which I (we) had no idea that they have been out there that long. We have never been to a better concert including "The Rolling Stones". Oh yes we would like to see them again and telling any friend that likes their music to go to see them in person. The pedestal with lead singer going up on it was a WOW!! GREAT day T.Y.

LOVED Foreigner, Whitesnake, + Jason Bonham's LZE
All 3 bands were great! In fact, all 3 were even better than I realistically expected given the ages of original/primetime members, given the sense that bands from the 70s & 80s are just trying to make some easy money and relive former glory days, and never quite knowing if cover bands and replacement members will be enough like the beloved originals to make for a great show. Jason Bonham has been playing Led Zeppelin stuff since he could sit behind a drum kit and swing a stick, and he's worked w so many greats as an adult that I had little doubt about his ability to perform. His lead singer impressed me w exceptional range and clarity, sounding enough like R.Plant to hear the Led Zep flavors without sounding as if he were trying too hard to sound like the original. I especially like that he looks nothing like Plant. Every other Led Zep tribute band I've seen has a curly blonde in tight pants w an unbuttoned shirt mimicking Plant's signature moves and style. Sometimes it makes for a good show. Other times, it just seems desperate. This guy went onstage as himself and owned it, singing Led Zep songs like a pro and kicking ass! I don't have a problem at all w the band using 2 guitarists to play J.Page's parts because he usually played multiple tracks on albums, and they combined their skills to get the sound just right. Even Plant uses 2 guitarists in his modern projects to get the live sound right. My only complaint is that one of the guitarists tried too hard to look and play like Page. You see that in every Led Zep cover band, but this guy was at least a head shorter and 75 lbs thinner than the original. It looked like a skinny kid going to a costume party as Page. I appreciate the effort, but it was kinda funny to me, too. They used the same approach to fill the shoes of J.P.Jones who was Led Zep's true secret weapon - having a separate bassist and keyboard player. Again, JPJ played multiple tracks on the albums, so it takes multiple musicians to replicate that music live. I thoroughly enjoyed the opening act's hour or more on stage. I was never a huge Whitesnake fan, but they had a few big hits while I was a teen in the 80s, and they fit well in between the two bands I really wanted to see. I think I saw them open for Motley Crue's "Girls Girls Girls" tour in Cleveland. Coverdale doesn't sound as solidly powerful as he once did, but he still sounds good and works his moves. Guitarist Doug Aldrich sort of stole the show. He had a fun, playful stage presence and interacted wonderfully w the crowd. I knew more of the songs they played than I realized I know, so it was a great show for another full hour. I've had "Still of the Night" and "Slow an' Easy" stuck in my head for a week now. I saw Foreigner in 1985 on their "Agent Provocateur" tour in Cleveland, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen live. They still were in their prime back then. So, like the other 2 bands, I had tempered my expectations. I've seen enough classic giants come back trying to revive their glory days only to sound as old and tired as they look. In fact, I doubt I would've paid nearly $100 per ticket to see just Foreigner, especially at an outdoor venue. Having Whitesnake and Jason Bonham's LZE combined in the lineup is what convinced me to go for it. Well, my concerns were alleviated immediately. Foreigner v.2018 rocked! Current lead singer Kelly Hansen makes for a great substitute for original Lou Gramm, having exceptional stage presence and energetic frontman personality. Mick Jones might look like a tall Danny DeVito, but he still knows how to play his guitar, keyboards and sing. I also have to believe Jones is the primary genius behind gathering together the talent that makes up the current version of Foreigner. They are every bit as great as the original gang. I grew more and more impressed w each member of the band as the show progressed. They harmonize and gel together so well that it's as if they've been jamming together for the entire 40-something years Foreigner has been around. It was an outstanding performance from start to finish. They played nearly all of Foreigner's popular hits, wrapping up the obligatory encore of 2 songs with "I Wanna Know What Love Is" (w a local high school choir) and "Hot Blooded." It was my first time at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, too. I avoid outdoor concerts, but I was able to get decent seats under the pavilion. I've been to too many mud fests. Riverbend has artificial turf instead of real grass (and mud)! That's a nice improvement, but, personally, I wouldn't pay more than $10 per ticket for an outdoor concert on the grass. The sound was awesome inside the pavilion, and the live video screens always enhance any concert for those not near the stage. I absolutely recommend the trio tour of Foreigner, Whitesnake, and Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience! I also recommend pavilion seats at Riverbend Music Center...if you can handle being prepared for whatever weather you get on concert night.

Retro Night
The Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience, Whitesnake and Foreigner show transported us back to a time when we loved our music and weren't living the daily grind of the rat race. It was entertaining and a memorable experience that we shared with our son.

Foreigner White Snake and Led Zep Experience
Great concert... White Snake was very distorted compared to the other 2 bands which were much clearer. Only major problem was the heat near 100.... Drink prices are out of sight but it is what it is...
By Katlovesart
worth it
I got the tickets with a promotion. The seats were good. We could see the bands. Overall, it was a very good show. Very on time too, that was good.

Bio
With 10 multi-platinum albums and 16 Top 30 hits, FOREIGNER is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world with a formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 80 million.
Responsible for some of rock and roll's most enduring anthems including "Juke Box Hero," "Cold As Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Waiting For A Girl Like You," "Feels Like The First Time," "Urgent," "Head Games," "Say You Will," "Dirty White Boy," "Long, Long Way From Home" and the worldwide #1 hit, "I Want To Know What Love Is," FOREIGNER still rocks the charts more than 40 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard Top 200 album success. Audio and video streams of FOREIGNER's hits are approaching 15 million per week.
With more Top 10 songs than Journey and as many as Fleetwood Mac, FOREIGNER also features strongly in every category in Billboard's "Greatest of All Time" listing. At times, the band's weekly catalog sales have eclipsed those of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Aerosmith, and most of their Classic Rock peers (Source:MusiConnect). FOREIGNER's catalog sales were recently celebrated in Business Insider as hitting the Top 40 among the Best Selling Music Artists of All Time.
FOREIGNER's founder is Songwriters Hall of Fame member Mick Jones, a visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks, and multi-layered talents continue to escalate FOREIGNER's influence and guide the band to new horizons. Jones reformed the band after a 2002 hiatus and selected lead singer Kelly Hansen to help write an inspired new chapter in the history of FOREIGNER. One of rock's greatest showmen, Hansen is among the most respected, consummate professionals in rock and roll. With a 40-year career that spans almost every area of music, from the role of lead vocalist to producing and engineering, Hansen has led FOREIGNER into the digital age while inspiring a whole new generation of fans.
FOREIGNER's lineup also includes noted Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, guitarist Bruce Watson, Chris Frazier on drums and guitarist Luis Carlos Maldonado. An unprecedented new level of energy led the group to a re-emergence of astounding music that speaks to FOREIGNER's enduring popularity.
FOREIGNER recently announced the beginning of their Farewell Tour on national television. The tour will commence on July 6th, 2023 in Atlanta, GA and is expected to take two years or so to complete. The goal is to visit all the cities where the band has played since its reformation in 2004.
