The Ultimate Foghat Concert

The great Blues-Boogie-Rock band was a noted popular live act during the 1970's. Live music and on stage Foghat was among the best.

Since I first heard them in 1972, they have been my favorite band by far. Saw them numerous times live in concert.

A Foghat concert was unbelievably high octane energy, and nearing the end of the concert fans would be on fumes to keep up the energy of the band. I remember how I felt back in the 1970’s during the last encore with Chateau Laffite ’59 Boogie (the long version like here). That amazing lead by Rod during the end with the song going at a blistering pace, then they bring it down to a almost smooth Jazz like tempo, then gear it up again to finish the song. It was amazing!

I'm dedicating this video to the late Lonesome Dave Peverett (lead vocals/guitar) and the late Rod Price (lead guitar & slide guitar/vocals). May their music soul live on!

These days are never coming back. 70's best decade to be a teenager. Endless great music! Endless concerts! Sexual Revolution! Very little adult supervision! Seen it once. Never again.

[rickmartin]

Sure miss Dave. Foghat is in my top 10 of all time greatest true Rock and Roll Bands. Blues infused Hard Rock. Love it !!! 🎸🎸

My 16yr old grandson and I listened to this post we were both screaming and singing...at 72 it's what you hope for. Thank you

This album with Kiss Alive and Frampton Comes Alive set my world on fire as a kid in the mid 70s. Very underated Band Foghat was. Saw the original band back in the 90s at The Canyon Club in Agoura and it took me back to 1975 . They nailed this Album!! Ive seen some great shows there but Foghat Blew The Lid Off The Dump!! 4 Great Musicians who need their recognition Rock in Roll HOF!!! Duh!!!

[greghenderson]

Rod Price is the most underated slide guitarist of all time ....a true master of the boogie woogie !!!!

[bindig]

Saw the original lineup many times back in the day. "Lonesome" Dave Peverett and Rod Price dueling guitars. Fantastic live band. Old school

[steinonline]

Lonesome Dave Peverett is THE most underrated and BEST Rock Singer, not to mention a really good guitarist. FOGHAT Took kicking ass to a whole new level. Rod Price is the CHAMPION of Slide guitar. Roger Earl is solid as a rock. I can listen to Foghat all day. I do it a lot. This is what rock and roll is supposed to be. Thanks for sharing this and keeping this great band and their music alive!! (Side Note: The slide solo in "It Hurts Me Too" is absolutely insane!!!)

I lived in Webster, Florida in the late 70s - early 80's and I talked a group of locals into going to the Lakeland Civic Center to see Foghat on what was the "Stone Blue" tour. The venue sat about 10, 000 and it sold out. I tell people to this day this was the best live rock concert I ever saw. They played almost 2 hours and the whole concert from beginning to end, every song, was spectacular. Every song was at least slightly better than the album cut and they genuinely played like they were having the time of their lives! Infectious Exuberance!

Lots of memory recall listening to Foghat. I’ve seen them several times and we always listened to them in my youth. Awesome band!

[stevan]

Imagine having a catalog of such great live material that you open the show with your number one single? As opposed to most acts then that CLOSED the show with their big hit for an encore? These guys had the goods...They were confident enough in their collective abilities to do that and then HOLD the audience's attention for a solid 90 minutes after....Arguably the best live rock band of the era. I would take this Live album over any other group in the '70's for my sole desert island recording.

Opened for them in '92, good times.

I did tech support for a hospital in Orlando, Fl. A lovely lady called in with a computer issue. She identified her last name as Peverett. I told her the only person I knew with that name was one of my favorite music artists, Dave Peverett. She told me she was Dave's Daughter-in-law. We talked for quite a while. She told me how wonderful a father-in-law he was. I'll never forget that call.

Saw Foghat live many many times. They were not "among the best", they were THE BEST. there is more life in this group than any other I ever saw and I am old, I saw them all

[jaustin]

Lonesome Dave is burried near my home in Orlando. R.I.P. Dave and thank you soooo much for the awesome music of my teen years ✌🎸💯🎶

[MichaelandCathy]

I’m 64 this past July (2020) and I’ve been a fan since ‘72 when I bought the brand new album. Never had the chance to see them live, but when I put on Wild Cherry or Honey Hush or Chateau Lafitte 59 Boogie, in my mind I’m on stage with one of the best bands of the my generation. Thanks guys for letting us go along for the ride 🎸🤘🇨🇦

[josephliptak]

Rod Price is one badass slide guitarist.

[garnerearp]

I was blessed to have seen them three times, this incredible band, the incredible seventies the incredible ladies never to be duplicated again!!!

[johncovington]

One of the best stage bands of the era. They always rocked the place to the ground.
