It does not get any better than Foghat Live firing on all cylinders. Great band. Totally under appreciated, they had no hype machine behind them so a forgotten gem of a band from the 70's and 80's. Dave, Rod, Roger, Tony & Craig, Thanks for all the great music. The so-called Rock N Roll Hall of Fame should be ashamed. Money grubber elitists---F---You!
That is some serious jamming by a very underrated and underappreciated band. Saw them live in the late 70s and lost my hearing for about a week 😂. Thank you for posting.
I had the rare privilege of being a roadie for Foghat for just one night at a really small venue (400 people maximum capacity) in Western Colorado in September of 1999. After we set up the little stage, me and my coworkers put on 'staff' shirts and became the security, standing up at the front of the room, with Dave Peverett, Roger Earl, Tony Stevens, and Rod Price all rocking out only five feet behind us. Good times, amazing music! Sadly Lonesome Dave Peverett was gone, kidney cancer, only a few months later. I will never forget his stage performance and how he was so kind to all of the staff and us roadie grunts. I'll never forget-just before we did a sound check, Dave asked me to go get his personal Les Paul guitar off of their tour bus. I said, 'It'd be an honor!'
1980년 내가 중학생 때 친구의 집에 놀러갔었다. 친구의 형이 고등학교 락밴드의 기타리스트였다. 당시 한국에서 많은 스쿨밴드 대부분 레드제플린, 블랙사바스,딥퍼플 등의 카피가 유행이었다. 그런데 포가트의 풀포더시티를 카피하는 친구의 형이 이 곡을 무한 반복해서 듣고 따라하는 것이었다. 처음부터 인상적인 멜로디와 기타의 리프는 충격적이었다. 포가트는 한국에는 알려진 밴드는 아니다. 나는 성장하면서 왜 이런 밴드가 알려지지 않는 것인가? 라는 의문을 가졌다. 다수의 히트 넘버를 가졌음에도... 당시 라이센스 음반도 아닌 불법카피 음반이었다.
Not only did I grow up with it like you, I was lucky enough to be in cover bands (bass player) and got to actually play this song. It was a wonderful time, and from time to time, I get to relive my youth 71 now).
Listen to the "Foghat Live" album that came out in the 70's. They were unbelievable! Rod and Dave's playing was a textbook lesson in FACE MELTING rock guitar. And Roger Earl on drums and Craig Peverett were an absolutely monstrous rhythm section. Grooved their asses of and they did it with AUTHORITY and POWER. Another thing, they knew how to dramatically use dynamics which is seemingly a lost art today. Stupendous album! BUY IT and play it LOUD....RIGHT NOW!!!
Saw them on this tour in 75. Bass player Craig MacGregor was new to the band. I remember him just kind of standing in one spot bobbing his head all night. Lonesome Dave had such a great voice. Hard to believe that the drummer here is the only one still alive.
My dad seen these guys in 1977. I seen them in 2003 opening for Alice Cooper Sanford FL. The drummer was the only member there. Just like you said. They sounded good for the most part but, not like this band.
My Dad seen Foghat January of 1977 Tampa Curtis Hall. Rick Derringer opened up. I asked him how it was. He said Son women were passing out all over the place on Quaaludes and Coke. The show was good.
Nazareth e Foghat abriam minhas festinhas de Terraço na baixada Fluminense em fins dos anos 70. Excelente Banda, ótimos arranjos, guitarras incríveis, e vocal impecável.
1975 Thanksgiving Break, Freshman dorm, all alone. Called into the local radio station (AM) and requested "Fool For the City". AND THEY PLAYED IT. Danced like a maniac! And then next year the "Foghat Live" album came out. Not a flashy band like Yes, ELP, or even The Who. But solid blues rock.
Ì saw Foghat in 1999 at a Salt Lake dive called Coronas Bar. Rob Price was playing the Bass instead of lead. His handle bar mustache was cool. They were so coke, d up it was in front of 35 people. Top 5 concerts I sèen.
I need to share this story and many others while I am still on earth. It was 1975 in a small North Texas town. I LOVED Dairy Queen! My Mom drove us to grab some dinner to take home. I think my Mom was working at the time. My Dad worked for a major airline and worked odd shifts. I am 14 going on 15 and the chick at the register (maybe 18) I ask her what her favorite band is and she says Foghat. This chick is trying to hook up with me... giving me her number with my Mom there. I was a VIRGIN. How stupid I was back then. She was hawwwt.
