Slow Ride Long Version - Foghat | Andy & Alex FIRST TIME REACTION! 

I'm 62 yrs old. Imagine being in the 70's driving around town with the cassette player blaring this tune. Pulling up the local eatery with your best friends, playing pool and chilling. Sorry you guys will never known this. It was epic.

I know most of the people who watch your reaction are older and have grown up listening to this music, I'm 18 and I still love watching your reactions because it's nice to see people near my age appreciate this music like I and a lot of younger people do.

Graduated HS in 1976, this was the ultimate cruising song in my 76 Camaro!! Soooo Good!

You two need to hear the live version of "Slow Ride". It's absolutely insane.

Foghat were one off the best live bands in a time when the greatest Rock and Roll bands roamed the earth

Class of 1976 and this song could be heard blaring out of my bedroom ..love it.

Yep! Slow Ride as it should be! Without this song back in the day, we wouldn't be grandparents now! 😀

Foghat Live!!! was in every house or car in the 70’s😂🔥👍

Now imagine this long version but with even more energy. Welcome to Foghat Live.

It was good of you both to tip the hat to Lonesome Dave. He was an underrated road warrior .🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧 R.I.P.

Class of '76 too. Whenever that beat would come on the radio the volume automatically went up to full blast. A great song for any teenage activity.

This song made me walk 12 miles in the snow, to the mall, to buy my first slide. 1982

This came out my senior year of high school (60 cents for gallon of gas😁), can you imagine cruising around town on a Saturday night with your buddies and cranking up the car radio volume to this song?!?! I can’t imagine it…..because I lived it!! Great times and memories 😁😉👍

My high school years 73-77 had such iconic music. I’m so appreciative of it now as I watch the younger generation experience it. I’m so glad I got to experience the great concerts….. Day on the Green in Oakland and Mountainaire in Angels Camp were my favorites. Cherished memories for sure

Yes finally now redo the long version of Love is like Oxygen

That bass line alone is worth the wait for this long version.👍

I'm 62. When you moved into suburbia in the mid-70s you were issued four live albums. Frampton Comes Alive KISS Alive Rush: All the World's a Stage and Foghat Live. Y'all need to listen to the entire Foghat Live album at some point.

Ok guys it’s been awhile but this message is for Lonesome Dave’s kids , I play the blues today because of your father and Rod Price from Savoy Brown to Foghat They took it to a different level for me . Because of them I got into Muddy , Buddy . BB and many others . they were one of the best live bands I ever seen. Now this is for Alex & Andy The year was 1978. I went to see Foghat and rush. Foghat came on before and back then we had transistor radios after foghat ended they were interviewing rush before they came on and they said we really don’t want to go on after Foghat they were so good. True story. Old Comiskey Park in Chicago. Now guys because the sound was much better in the 90s go visit Foghat 1997 Dayton Ohio Live and watch them play Sweet home Chicago it was the best version I have ever seen of this song and I am from the Chicago area. Rod price was one of the most underrated slide guitarist Ever and Lonesome Dave was a great singer and a good guitar player in his own right but that whole band together with all the original members was killer. Thank you to Dave’s kids for getting you guys down A great blues rock band legacy that was so underrated one of my favorite bands of all time. I am sorry there is no Foghat without Lonesome Dave & Rod Price RIP Both of you

So glad I grew up in the 70's! I'm 65 and still love this music. It felt like a simpler time. Slow Ride, Radar Love, 2 of my favorite Rock Classics of that era.

Size does matter! Glad to see you hit the long version

"DRIVING WHEEL!!! " ............... This song will destroy brain cells!!

This was the version we all grew up with. It’s fantastic. Thank you guys, for bringing these memories rushing back. You don’t know how much I enjoy these videos.

Imagine seeing Foghat playing this tune live in a concert. I did ✌️They were LOUD!!! Foghat also describes the atmosphere, we were passing joints and as high as those slide guitar licks. Our hats were full of fog for sure.

I feel bad that you guys will never know the joy of growing up in the 70's. Bands like Foghat were on the road endlessly and that made them epic on stage. They had it down! It was great knowing a lot of your favorite bands would have a new album and a new tour just about every year. Glad you get the chance to appreciate it now. Warms this old man's heart. Keep up the great work!

This was our anthem for advanced backwards skating at the roller rink. They would clear everyone off the floor then play this for advanced backwards skaters only and our signature style fit it perfect.

Memories of putting the house speaker into the window in the 70s .while outside chilling with friends

The best thing that ever happened to music was FM radio. Before then AM radio and top 40 stations just played the 2 minute 59 second singles that everybody had to comply with that was why bands like The Who started releasing longer songs on their albums knowing they wouldn't get airplay and then FM came along and the DJ's there would play Not only long version they would play whole album sides

Mr Lonesome Dave, always overlooked as a great rock vocalist

Saw Foghat live in the fall of 77. My ears rang for a full week after that concert. The 70's baby, it was killer.

Foghat Live is a must, there are no bad tracks and the 2 that you have listened to are even more amazing

You guys really got to hit the foghat live album. It takes these songs to a whole new level

This is what I call a well balanced song. With the long version you get extra bass, guitar, drums and anything else they used. No one instrument took over the show. All had the spotlight.

Justifiably known for their live shows, Foghat's best selling album is their live one, which has an even more energetic version of this song on it. Do yourselves a favor and check out that whole recording. Epic for a reason.

My 10th grade gf took me to my first rock concert in 1983. Foghat opened for Triumph 🤘

This is one of the songs I can easily remember the first time I heard it. I was in the car with my dad in 1976. We were both blown away. A couple of years later he bought "Foghat Live" and was in awe of the live version of "Slow Ride". He said it was the wildest thing he ever heard.

Suggestion: If you ever react to a Foghat album, it should be their Live Album.

I won tickets to the concert for this album and at the crescendo of the solo near the end there was a planned explosion. (Slow Ride was their final encore song) I was sitting with a friend just a little to the rear and side of the stage when the explosion went off. My friend Peter passed out from the explosion (combined with the pot and beer). We had back stage passes but I couldn’t wake Pete up and had just made the decision to leave him while I went back stage when one of the event staff members was able to wake him. I’m glad you finally got to hear the best version of the song.its too bad you will ever hear it live in a packed arena.

Someone once said sex isn’t dirty. To which Woody Allen replied, it is if you’re doing it right. This song is filthy in every right way. 😂 ❤

Andy & Alex…… Stank Face engaged🤟😎🤘

This has been one of my all time favorite songs since I was about 13 yrs old. I will listen to this and enjoy it til the day I die.

Long versions always, always, always better! This certianly no exception. Speaking of which, full version of I'm Going Home from Woodstock by Ten Years After, please....

I had a really fun time with a girl to the live version of Slow Ride. I mean REALLY fun. Thanks a million, Foghat! 😊

So many memories... 70's rocked... Foghat was one of the loudest bands back then. Honey Hush melts your face too...

That's the proper way to play foghat

Ah, the memories, love it! Miss those days ❤️❤️❤️

64 here. This song is brilliant. The musical depiction of great sex from beginning to end. With unbelievable musical performances.

I really love how you guys listen to the entire song with NO pauses so you can really "FEEL" the song. Thank you. About 3 years ago I was on utube and stumbled onto you guys. I was thinking, "reacting to songs, that is different". I looked at you both and wondered how you would physically and verbally react to the song. I do not remember what that first song was that day. But I do know that I appreciated you both and watched a few of your reactions that day. I have been a big fan ever since. Keep it up guys. By the way I am 61 years old.

Rod Price, great slide player. Lonesome Dave, was the whole package. They had one of the best live shows out there back in the day

Happy Birthday Alex. ♍🎉This is the theme song on That 70's Show.

We’ve been waiting 4 years for you to make it up to us and listen to this version! I hope you’re doing the live version. I’m about to listen with anticipation!!

Wow it only took 4 and a half years you guys to do this song justice, but better late than never I guess. Andy looks like he just hit puberty in your first reaction to this 😂

Every party banger back in the day! I remember an all weekend party where we literally played this intermittently the whole weekend! I'm 66 now and miss those years and times horribly! 😢❤

That there is a banger. Look, anyone can make a mistake. (Short version). But you were more victims of ignorance than willful offenders. I respect your effort to make it right. Rock.

Shoutout to the production. No digital nothing here. Tape and geniuses.

Saw them during their "Energized" tour, my ear's were ringing for 3 days!!🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍

70’s Classic Rock Just Hits Different 💯🔥🔥

Guitarist Rod ''Bottleneck'' Price and singer/guitarist Dave Peverett... Awesome.

Three of the Foghat band members were from Savoy Brown; Dave Peverett, Roger Earl and Tony Stevens. They wanted to go more rock and got Rod Price on lead guitar. Kim Simmons kept playing the blues and kept the Savoy Brown name active until he passed away. Give both bands more of a listen. Love them both.

Everyone talks about listening to this in their car. This played many many times in the 1966 Cadilac. Great tune. Great reaction. Now check out Foghat Chevrolet. Another great underrated song.

Saw them just after Fool for the City came out. The place was packed! Two hours of non stop boogie rocked us to the core. Awsome.

This must be one of the first music review channels I followed. I remember when it was just Andy and sometimes his sister reviewing the songs. 5, or 6 years, maybe more. And Andy had short hair.

It's such a part song. We always have it at every party !! You can also do fool for the city . Great song as well

Bands of this era regularly made my city a regular tour stop. $5 would get you in the door for a rocking good time. Many times we'd show up that afternoon and the roadies would let us help load in the show and get a ticket and maybe a t shirt. It was the 70's in flyover USA so they could get away with a lot. The only rules were don't climb in the rigging and don't pester the talent. Watching sound checks in the empty arena was very cool. Always dreamed of "running away with the circus" but by the time I was old enough it didn't seem that interesting anymore.

Just the most perfect love making song ever recorded!

That great solo is by Rod Price, Foghat's lead and slide guitarist. RIP. He gets much less recognition, as a slide guitarist, than Duane Allman, among rock fans whom I personally know, but hopefully, as more people go back and discover Foghat's great catalogue of albums, Rod will get more recognition too, as you both rightly gave him here. He is incredible on Foghat's live album and their studio work. Rock on!

At 64, I for one will always remember her, those were magical times to be young.

For a first-hand breakdown on the birth of Slow Ride, check out Bassfrontiersmag Nick Jameson of Foghat interview part 5. Nick Jameson (bass) and Roger Earl (drums) of Foghat talk about how a blizzard and resulting power outage at a Vermont recording studio along with an immanent tour both played parts in why there's a short and long version of Slow Ride. The band had worked out the long version through jam sessions, but while recording Slow Ride, the power went out just a bit over halfway through the song when the power lines fell in the snow storm. Five days later the power was restored and after listening to and mixing what they'd recorded before the power went out, they felt it was so good they decided to release what they had ( short version ) as the single. After the tour was over, they came back to the studio and added the second half to Slow Ride for the album version while completing the rest of the upcoming Fool For The City album.

I’m 64 years old and still love this album. Every song is great. Between this and Boston’s first, can’t be topped.

Jim Carrey did a great shoutout to this song in his acceptance speech at the MTV music awards in '99. He was in character as a quasi Jim Morrison and demanded that the producers include some Foghat in their music lineup. He was played offstage to Slow Ride.

RIP Lonesome Dave - I saw this band four times back in the day. Dazed and Confused is as close to the truth as it gets. I remember the first day of HS. Seniors from the rodeo club would lasso sophomores and ride them until the sophomore could buck them off their back.

Good band to see back then. Simple, good times. Memories.

OMG FINALLY! 🤘🏻

Here in the true rock and roll capital of the world, Detroit Rock City, we never even knew a shorter version existed!. The very notion is unfathomable and downright unacceptable. Rock on!

Lonesome Dave...one of the best blues-rock voices ever.

I’ve got to admit after listening to SlowRide I am totally exhausted wow what a ride.

❤❤Yesssss ! One of my all-time favorite songs ! I always crank up the volume. Especially on the Harley 😁😁

What you guys heard was the radio edit. I first heard this on the radio was in 1975 and they FADED IT OUT. I didn't even know it ended on the album until my friend bought the album and played it and I felt ripped off by these radio stations who chopped that incredible song in half and I didn't even know it. I'm 60 and it still sounds so crisp and clean. I still blast that song on my car radio. Thanks for giving that long version a spin.

Just scratching the surface of what a badass band this was/is …to an extent on the is

Foghat was a great live band. I remember this song from my sophomore year at college. This was a staple of every frat party. And it was a great way to challenge your woofers. Like you, I wonder how many Gen X babies were conceived to the long version of this song. LOL

Now react to "My Babe"! Such a great song! Foghat was so underrated! A great Band for 74' to the early 80's! The Album Energized is awesome also!

Seeing them playing that live is an experience unto itself.

70’s music was the best EVER!

one of the top 4 rock-blues band -in the WORLD !!!right up on top with led zep

Guys you may really want to check out the entire album, opens with "Fool for the City" then a few tracks in "Slow Ride" then "Terraplane Blues" cover of a Robert Johnson version, might want to check that little jewel out. Remember 1975 era Disco was coming on.

I didn't know there was a short version Until you all played that and I think I messaged about that .My local radio station always played this version

Other Foghat songs to consider: • "I Just Want To Make Love To You" from their 1977 Live album catches lightning in a bottle, nothing is better and I guarantee the false stops and restarts will completely exhaust A&A. • Stone Blue. The guitar solos are a dream come true.

"Chateau Laffite Boogie '59" is one of my favorite Foghat bangers.

The screaming guitar was Rod Price on slide guitar. He was a monster player!

Great review, and I'm glad that you guys finally got around to reviewing this one. A couple of things though: (1) I'm not sure why you had the "Fool for the City" album (1975) in the background when this version of the song came from the "Foghat Live" album (1977). (2) The bass player on this song was American Craig MacGregor. He joined Foghat in 1976 and replaced founding member, Tony Stevens. MacGregor was in the band from 1976-1982, 1984, and 2005-2015. Sadly, he passed away from cancer in 2018. (3) The children who contacted you were the lead singer and rhythm guitarist's, "Lonesome" Dave Peverett--not the bass player, Craig MacGregor. Peverett was a founding member and was with the band until he passed away from cancer in 2000. (4) You really need to listen to "Drivin' Wheel" from the 1976 "Night Shift" album. (5) The lead guitarist was Rod "the bottle" Price. He was a founding member and was known for his outstanding slide work which made the guitar "scream." He passed away in 2005. (6) The drummer, Roger Earl, is still playing with a new line-up for Foghat. He is a founding member and is the only one who has been with every version of the band since 1971. (7) It is absolutely criminal that these guys haven't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In fact, they've never even been nominated.

"All right, all right, all right"!

I think it's fair to say this version feels like a live cut. They always had that sound about them.

That’s right! Now “Stone Blue” for some more ripping slide guitar

Many thanks to Andy and Alex! 💎 And happy Labor Day to you and yours. 🌤

One of those songs that when it came on the radio you had to drive around till it finished! Classic had the 8track! Thanks guys

Rode around the strip and listened to this loud! 1982❤️

Hogfat..I mean Foghat.. was comprised of the nucleus of Savoy Brown/The SB Blues Band that had unsung guitar god Kim Simmons as lead. Their first album identified Dave Peverret as "Lonesome Dave". Saw them way way back in the day

Glad you finally hit the long version.

This was me and my buddies freaking theme song in 75 and beyond. Remember riding home from school all the time blasting this song. Yes, definitely Iconic!!

This song is awesome

Now just to complete the circle, you should do the live version from Foghat Live :)
