I Just Want To Make Love to You - Foghat | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Great pick. 100% on the A+. The other thing I like about you guys is not only the intelligent analysis you do, but you two are also very comedic which adds a lot to the whole thing. You are a good team.

Foghat is one of *the best* 1970s/early '80s hard rock bands. "Fool for the City" is a must. On the live album, you should hear "Honey Hush" and the long version of "Slow Ride." "Stone Blue" is one of my favorite "pick-me-up" songs-- such a banger! Their *second self-titled* album, released after the self-titled debut, is my favorite Foghat album. It's known by longtime fans as "Rock & Roll." It's an absolute killer!

"Yeah, it's not a ballad." So understated. Love it.

"Fool for the city" really showcases the vocal range, without any effects, absolutely searing guitars, the half time drum fills are killer, last guitar lead will give the hint of the live Oakland Skynyrd Freebird, it's that good. Your Welcome

Great song, so glad you did this one. It is actually a cover which was written by Blues great Willie Dixon and first recorded by Muddy Waters and also by Etta James.

FOGHAT! Awesome. In middle school, we asked our social studies teacher for his favorite band and he said Foghat. We literally laughed at that poor guy, because we'd never heard of them and the name sounded so goofy. Within a few weeks, they exploded, with their Live album. I wore a Foghat shirt for my 8th grade class photo!

Foghat was a monster in the '70s. A slew of great albums. They are still touring with only the drummer left from the original lineup. RIP Lonesome Dave , Rod The Bottle and Craig Macgregor.

You guys would dig "Fool For The City" and "Stone Blue". Not sure why but I've long had a soft spot for Foghat. I guess they were simply a working man's band that just put out solid tunes.

i know the studio versions are always the way to hear a song for the first time, but foghat live (the album's title) kicks ares!!! the live version of this song is so raw and energetic it will knock your collective socks off.

Foghat “Live” was on constant rotation when I was in High School. Love the studio version, but the version from “Live” is 🔥!!!

Can rarely go wrong with a Muddy Waters cover! This was a hit single for Foghat in BOTH the studio and live versions. I prefer the live one myself but this is not one of those cases where there is a 'wrong' version to hit. Same applies to "Slow Ride" btw - need a long version, but both studio and live aRe great.

"Fool for the city" is a excellent Foghat song.

Fool for the City is a great Foghat song. You two should check it out. It is a definite banger!

So much apprehension before the song started, then Andy's face when he realizes it's all going to be okay...why I love watching their reactions!

Another great Foghat song is Fool for the City. It is well worth a listen. Not only is it from the same album as Slow Ride, it is the title track.

The live versions of this song, Slow Ride and Fool for the City off of Foghat Live are incredible, every house had that album back in the day.👍🔥🤘🏻🎧

This song was written by blues legend Willie Dixon and previously covered by many artists, including The Rolling Stones.

Foghat is so good because three of the four members cut their teeth in a great band called Savoy Brown. A band that explored the depths of blues and boogie British-style, so these guys were already masters of that genre when Foghat's debut album was released. It's a style characterized by a hard-as-nails approach that paid a lot of reverence to early American blues and Rock n' Roll music. They were no posers. They really brought it as you guys felt right away.

"Slow Ride" "Fool for the City" "Stone Blue"--three more Foghat classics.

At the time of its release Foghat made the Guinness book of world records as the loudest band in the world. I went to their concert. It took three weeks for my hearing to rebound.

Fog Hat DEFINITELY should be hit more often! 🤘🤘

Their Live album, "Foghat Live" is freaking amazing. Their live stuff is better than their studio stuff...

Fool for the City won’t disappoint.

Vocalist Lonesome Dave was a fantastic guitarist as well (primarily rhythm) and would have some great live duels with lead/slide guitarist Rod Price. Their shows were ALWAYS great rockin' boogie blues

Saw foghat live a bunch of times in the 70's. Rockin band. Check out the precursor band Savoy Brown - three members of Savoy founded Foghat. Great rock blues band.

When I think of Foghat I remember the stadium shows on bills with Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Travers, Mahogony Rush. Having a girl on my shoulders and holding on for dear life.

It's an old blues tune. I first heard it by Muddy Waters. Thinking it's a Willie Dixon composition. Indeed, it's the blues composition legend, Willie Dixon. Check out these tunes off Foghat's "LIVE" album. That album is one of the best live albums from the 70's imo.

I happened to listen to this song last night, it had been years. I had forgotten how good it is. My favorite Foghat is "Fool For the City," and they have a fantastic live album. Keep up the great work!

This is an old blues tune, written by the great Willie Dixon. The Rolling Stones are yet another act that also covered this one.

there is one album to hear all the way through - Foghat Live 1977 - imagine this song but longer louder and bigger.

FOGHAT LIVE would be an excellent album to hit.... and yes they can do it live...lol

I honestly had never listened to this song in it's entirety or with headphones, and I have to say it's _SO_ much better than I thought it was. The way the lead guitar switched back & forth before synching was awesome as hell. That face that Alex made at 5:55, made me think he probably needs his pants dry cleaned (again).😂

Never heard this before....one of the few times that you guys have pulled that off. This rocks

Nobody did boogie woogie hard blues like Foghat, 🎸🎸 lonesome Dave and the boys wore out that cry baby Wawa pedal like it owed them money 🤑. Try Stone Blue from 1978 🤘

My first rock concert, March 26th, 1978,Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston Tx. Headliner Foghat Opening bands were Judas Priest and BTO,not too shabby for a first !

Love it! I still have this album and I still play it. Please hit their "Driving Wheel" when you do Foghat again. :)

This of course is an old Willie Dixon song - been covered by some of the best - Foghat is right up, but I seem to recall everyone and their brother in the poll telling you to react to the version off of "Foghat Live" - that album captured what they were about - "Slow Ride" for example is way better on the live album.

Foghat Live guys!!! Can't go wrong with the whole album. Especially "Honey Hush."

In 1973 my pot dealer introduced me to the first two Foghat LPs and I was hooked...on the band. Saw them the following year at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre with Climax Blues Band. They formed out of Savoy Brown another band deserves to be heard.

Foghat live version of Slowride. The guitar jamming at the end is fantastic.

Banger of epic proportions! This was produced by Dave Edmunds. Edmunds had his own success in the early 70s with “I Hear You Knocking,” which like this song was a cover of an older blues song.

The live version will blow you guys away.The entire Foghat live album,the first one is amazing.Probably the best live album I have ever heard.The energy level of their playing is incredible.

I loved this song. Very freeing as a young woman in the 70s! Straight forward rock.

Some of the best slide guitar work ever was played by Rod Price. A true rock band if there ever was.

Awesome, right? This is a blues classic written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Muddy Waters. You should hear the Rolling Stones' version. Blues Rock bands Rock! How's about some Allman Brothers Band doing Elmore James' classic One Way Out? Cheers!

Prior to the listen, Andy clearly stated what he was looking for and…Foghat DELIVERED! Another great reaction.

Still rocks after all these years. Love how the Violent Femmes lifted some of the lyrics from this for their tune “Gone Daddy Gone”.

Foghat was the headliner at the first concert I ever went to! Thanks for the blast from the past.

This " middle aged " woman, well if I hit 110 years old!! 🤣 I'm feeling it!! Love Foghat . Takes me back. Love the hard rock vibe. And yes it's sexy!

My first concert was Foghat in 1980. The energy in their live music is amazing. Fool For The City, Stone Blue, and Drivin’ Wheel are great next steps… after hiring the live version of Slow Ride obviously!

I feel so blessed to have grown up with this music. We were so spoiled back in the day, where we just expected this level of quality and innovation and very few bands let us down.

Foghat was amazing...Lonesome Dave had one of the best rock voices ever. But I can't believe you didn't do the live version off of Foghat Live - a top ten live album of all time.

I was in a band that covered this. We got a new lead guitarist and he knew this song. That beginning part, he said: "All you have to do is copy what I play." He was way better than I was, so I was always kinda shitting in my pants when we did this, especially if it was in front of an audience. But we always got a pretty good reaction, so I guess I didn't fuck it up too much, and I learned some guitar licks...

As many have already pointed out, now you need the live version. It really goes to the next level! And "Fool For The City" is great, too! I cannot say it loud enough: Foghat Live '77 is a rock classic!

seriously, you've got to do the live album...Foghat was one of those bands whose live performances completely outclass their album output.

"Fool For The City" has to be next! Such a banger!

OK guys. Time to hit " Fool For The City" next. Actually all of side 1 of the album is classic rock at its best. The title track followed by "My Babe" followed by "Slow Ride". Awesome stuff!

One of their best! Stone Blue should be next, another killer tune. Fool for the City & My Babe are great choices too...

Banger!!! Foghat Live and this version rocks!!!!!! Fool For The City is da bomb!!!!!!

Our high school back in 1977 won a contest for Foghat to play a concert in our gym. I'll never forget it. Just for the students. It was fucking incredible!

Agreed A+. Proof that Love doesn't have to be a ballad. This one is a super danceable rocker. Guy in an old band of mine called these type of songs, "panty-droppers." They'd fill up an empty dance floor with chicks, which would get things going.

OMG, nothing could get a party going back in the day like Foghat could. This brings back so many memories.

They were a great live band. I saw them in the 70s. Everyone had to see them at least once back then.

Glad you played this version from their first album, produced by Dave Edmunds. It was their first “hit” song. Hearing it on the radio in 1972 turned me onto them and I saw them live a couple of times. They performed extended jams of their songs and blew everyone away!

You might want to give Fool for the City a listen. It's not as hard driving, but it's a really good tune with good guitar work.

Guys, you could play the whole Fool for the city album, there's not a bad cut on it. The band was made up of Lonesome Dave Pervert on lead vocals & rhythm guitar, Tony Stevens on bass, Roger Earl on drums & Rod Price on lead guitar. All the members except Price came from Savoy Brown, another band you should check out. Foghat classics My babe Fool for the city Driving wheel Stone Blue It hurts me too Some Savoy Brown Hell bound train Tell mama

Foghat LIVE is a kick ass album!

I saw Foghat in an outdoor concert in 1972 in Anchorage at the Fireweed Drive-in Theater. Opening act was KISS.

The Live version takes it to another level. Fool for the City is just as good.

Once again, should have done the extended LIVE version. BLOWS THIS VERSION AWAY!!! Foghat "Live" is one of the BEST live albums of all time

I'll say what many are thinking : Foghat Live - they were a fantastic , high energy performance band and you owe it to yourselves to experience that - you really need to listen to the Foghat Live version - I never listen to the studio version , its that good

Foghat was the first Rock band I saw live. They opened for a Canadian band called Honeymoon Suite. The guitar player played a solo with his teeth!

During my teenage years, at the place we all hung out at, this song was always a banger when it came on the radio. The guys totally related and would smile at each other. Thinking the girls were clueless...which most were to be honest. LOL

Saw Foghat when they opened for Eric Clapton in 1974 at the fair grounds in Davenport Iowa.An awesome concert both were great.

I see a lot of folks talking about the superior quality of the live versions of Foghat's songs. I Agree whole heartedly. And with that in mind I implore you to give Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water another listen... The version from Made in Japan is a must. Y'know, back in the day, after Made in Japan came out, you'd be hard pressed to find the studio version of Smoke on the Water on the radio. For the next 2 years, the live version got the most airplay. The raw liveness of the track will not disappoint. Blackmore, Lord and Gillan shine as Glover and Paice provide a killer backing track.This is the version we all rocked to. Don't deny yourselves the pleasure of this experience! Besides, Purple is long overdue for a return appearance on your Channel. Cheers!

Takes me back to 1978. A couple friends in our neighborhood built a skateboard ramp in the middle of our street and we would crank up Foghat Live and go crazy until the old bag neighbors made us take it down. Now I’m an old bag neighbor, but absolutely love and cherish this memory and Foghat! One of the best live albums ever.

S for me. There's something about guitar's that really get to me and Foghat fits the bill. I played this song over and over. Ha ha you just mentioned the guitar work too. Loved this reaction.

Yeah, they laid it down...by far my favorite Foghat song

"Fool for the City" is a banger from them, another great song by them is "Third Time Lucky", somewhat mellower but still excellent.

Yeah glad you loved this! I remember when I first heard Foghat. It was 1972 and I was at a pizza joint with my parents, I was 13. This song suddenly played on the jukebox, and I was like "whoa what is that?". I looked at the jukebox menu and saw I Just Want To Make Love To You/ Foghat. Of course I got the album, learned it on guitar, showed it to my garage band, and we loved playing it! It was so easy to play and so hard to make sound good. This song was the reason I later saved up my money from my fry cook job at A&W and got my first wa-wa pedal. Great memories chaps. Thanks!

Easily one of my favorite bands from the ’70’s. The live version of this is even better! Great review guys. Check out Fool for the City, Eight Days on the Road, and Sweet Home Chicago.

This is the first big song from Foghat most of us heard. The first 4 or 5 albums had a lot of cool tunes. Many Foghat songs (like slow ride) had slide guitar. I learned to play slide by listening to foghat first and other bands later. Fun memories.

To me, the best of their best is the album “Rock and Roll Outlaws.” You guys would never regret doing this whole album!

Foghat Live has all the definitive versions of their Best songs all Killer no Filler.

The Live album is phenomenal. I like it better than the studio counterparts.

Foghat live is one of the top ten live albums all time. 1977 my favorite album of the year I met my wife and saw Star Wars. Good year. Oh it is two leads going back and forth on guitar not one guy dubbed.

You should hear the live version from foghat live. Way longer , extended jams. A definite S rating.

Foghat was one of the best live bands on Earth. From the first note of the first song to the last note of the last song they flat out floored it. You were exhausted after the show. RIP Dave and Rod.

It’s….not a ballad 😂

Check out their live album from "77 incredible! The live version of Slow Ride is my favorite. Fool For The City is another great one! Foghat is so underrated! Great band!!

They were so great live. The other epic three piece band. and Foghat Live (1977) is incredible, you won't believe how much more energy they packed into their live performance. You owe it to yourselves to listen to the live version, it's literally twice as good as the studio version, which is so rare.

Y'all, this middle age woman still feel'in it! 👍I knew you both would definitely give it an A+ ❤💯💋

I have so many Foghat Albums it's ridiculous. So many miles on the highways of my life listening to these guys, driving through the Canadian Rocky Mountains going skiing, hiking. Good times. ✌ Another tune that comes to mind from this time for me is Nazerath-Hair of the Dog.

Foghat was a great band, no bs! Saw them in ‘76, and they completely ripped it that nite! Just ridiculous. Yeah, Fool for the City is awesome as well.

On this track the bass player puts his foot on the gas and pushes it all the way to the floor. That bass drives this song. Awesome.

I remember seeing foghat live in the late 70's what I remember of it, was amazing

This was originally a slow Blues number written by the legendary songwriter Willie Dixon and originally recorded by another Blues legend Muddy Waters in 1954. The first rock n roll band that I know of to record it was the Rolling Stones on their very first album in 1964...a sped up version that became one of their early live numbers before they started to write their own songs. It's a Classic Blues/Rock jam!

Good Analysis Guys! Foghat was great especially live! I recommend their Live Album! It’s a classic. They did incredible covers of R&B classics. I just want to make love to you is an old Willie Dixon Blues song. Foghat put the Rock n Roll into the mix. The Boogie Woogie! They were an amazing live Blues Rock Band! They Rocked Arenas in their heyday! A song called Driving Wheel is one of my favorites from them as well as Fool for the City. Because I can relate. I am a fool for the City. I went to the Country once for 10 days visiting some relatives who live out there and I was bored out of my mind! Country living on the farm is Boring! I could not wait to get back to the city life. I enjoy your reactions and the way you dissect the tunes. Very interesting and entertaining! I’m a musician too and never would have heard some of your criticisms. Thanks guys! You make me think there is hope for the future with intelligent, caring guys like you two. Keep going! 👏🏻🎸😎

Hi Guys, I been waiting for years for to do this song. Foghat has a great catalog of great music. Other mentions you should try like Stone Blue, Fool for the City and Boogie Motel. Thanks for finally picking this one.

Gotta hear the Foghat Live Version. Pure Banger!!
