In the late 1960’s Roger Earl & Lonesome Dave Peverett first toured America as members of the seminal British band Savoy Brown . Together with guitarist Kim Simmonds, Savoy Brown was on the cutting edge of the emerging British blues-rock scene, and they influenced countless musicians on both sides of the “pond”. In 1971, wanting to give a more Rock ‘n Roll flavor to the blues-boogie music they were playing with “Savoy”, Dave & Roger enlisted lead/slide guitarist Rod Price & bassist Tony Stevens, formed a new band, “Foghat”, and the rest is part of Rock and Roll history.

Signed by Albert Grossman to Bearsville Records in 1971, the band recorded their first self-titled LP “Foghat” and began touring relentlessly for the next 14 years. Their hard work has thus far been rewarded with seven Gold records, one Platinum record “Fool For The City” (1975), and one Double-Platinum record “Foghat Live” (1977). The “Fool For The City” album contained Foghat’s trademark Top 40 hit song “Slow Ride” and cemented their place as one of the world’s top rock acts. They continued to hit the charts in the 1970’s with singles such as “Fool For The City”, “Drivin’ Wheel”, “I Just Wanna Make Love To You”, “I’ll Be Standing By”, “Stone Blue”, “Third Time Lucky” and “Somebody’s Been Sleeping In My Bed”… many of which are still classic rock radio staples.
Foghat toured and recorded non-stop into the mid-eighties. Tony Stevens had left the band in 1974 to pursue other interests, and was replaced by bassist Craig MacGregor (with a short stint with Nick Jameson in between). Rod Price departed the band in 1980.

Hey Friends , It's coming-up on 40 years late , and quite honestly , I'm not sure if you-all are the same "now" as you-all were "then" , but , finally ... THANK YOU ! What I'm referring to is the "free" performance which you gave in Philly's Fairmont Park ("Strawberry Hill") , on "Earth Day" , April 21 , 1970 . I do vividly remember the day (cool , mostly sunny , dancing , some daring brother swinging on a tree branch 100 feet up , fine hash , no emphasis on "saving the planet" - rather a "spirit in celebration" OF the planet , etc) . You made and gave such fine music ! And as we both know "free" gigs aren't really free (It really costs YOU.) , please know that , in keeping w/ the Thanksgiving holiday , I'm late but STILL thankful for bands like You (and CJ&T Fish , J.A. , and precious few others .) Considering the 10s of 1000s of your performances , a bit of impossible trivia : Do you (or anyone else) remember the other "free" band on that Earth Day ? Peace ! wally martin

The "Foghat Live II" material listed here simply isn't Foghat. Lonesome Dave and Rod Price are gone, and drummer Roger Earl is all that remains of the original band. Craig MacGregor was with Foghat during their prime, too, but the rest are just fill ins. Bryan Basset is a respectable guitarist, but nothing compared to Rod Price, who was one of the best guitarists of our time. Charlie Huhn's raspy, weak vocals simply do not replace Lonesome Dave's, and the "Live II" album simply doesn't dig deep enough into the album tracks. Foghat was an excellent band, and is easily in my top ten. However, this isn't Foghat.

It's really hard to get their albums, but the one I have is among the best I ever bought. It's something called "Live in europe" I think.

One hit wonder my fucking ass. Just because a bunch of people just want to hear the song from the commercial (and Guitar Hero) doesn't make them a one hit wonder. It just means a bunch of people on Last.fm only bother listening to the one song.
