I used to watch the Midnight Special, it was one of the best venues to watch bands perform live and to evaluate whether or not to purchase concert tickets when the bands came to our geographic area. It was a good resource to view bands performing live, and we could frequently see them perform more than just two songs like on some other shows like on the Ed Sullivan Show, and many of the other variety shows. Another great show was Don Kirshner’s, which is where I first saw Peter Frampton perform live. It’s too bad that there currently are no shows on regularly that are similar nowadays. When MTV started up, there were often live shows being broadcast late in the evenings, many of them were punk rock performances, but they were also live, however, that didn’t go on much more than a year, once there were enough music videos to show around the clock, 24/7, unfortunately, there are very few music videos shown on MTV anymore, instead they have reality shows broadcasting much of the day and night, and very little music videos at all. Thank you for sharing this video and posting it on UA-cam! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸
Damn. Bands like Foghat, GFR, UFO, and so many more from the 70s just baffle me. What an amazing decade for rock n roll. I’m quite confident saying that we will never experience this talent and creativity ever again at this level.
Absolutely not you forgot Rush and many others from the 70s that were freaking incredible the music today sucks let me repeat the music today sucks there's no such thing as good music now
saw 'em in '77 at Rupp Arena Lex. KY - 2nd row - my cousin caught a drum stick and I got "part" of a towel -- they were - and still are - one of the best
Foghat was an excellent band...the thing about the 70's was that a band like this wasn't even among the top 10...glad I was a teenager in those days...
They were in my top 3, with Zep and the Stones. And Humble Pie, for 4. 😊 But I couldn't afford tickets for for the first 2, and saw Foghat and Humble Pie, every time they came to Detroit, thru the 70s.
Saw Foghat 8 times. But, I saw everyone at least a half dozen times. That's all we did.I only saw the Stones twice and wish I'd seen them many more times,75,80. Zep 4 times, Sabbath 4 times, first time in 70. In fact, what's got me thinking of all this is that I found a box of ticket stubs. It's a trip down memory lane. Going all the way to 1968,The Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead and It's A Beautiful Day. I could write a book.
You should have seen them in concert! You would be exhausted halfway thru their set, and smile saying to yourself, I still have 1 to 2hrs left! They were a "Jam Band"
@@65Wildkat I saw them in 81? I think `81, and they were not as good as I thought. I listened to Foghat, Live! 1 mill. times back then and maybe had too much expectation, as I was only 14. They might just have had a bad night. God knows I have had gigs gone to shit. You get off stage and are ashamed to hang at the bar and talk with anyone.
This is the short made-for-tv version, check out "Live". The only band I saw more times than Foghat was Frank Zappa! I couldn't tell you how many times I saw Foghat as the opening band, only to blow the headliners away!
Same here, Chicago. Thing is our "group" had the entire seating area behind the stage reserved, incl. a bus where electric wine was served on the way to the show. We we're so close to the stage... I have some pics from the show. It was quite a memorable experience. Rock on.
@@cathyt502 God, They did a version of Sweet Home Chicago on album Stone Blue. It was fantastic. There will never be another Lonesome Dave or Rod "The Bottle" Price.
I'm 70 years old and I remember when they came on the scene! Saw them for their Fool For The City tour! FANTASTIC Show great sound HIGH Energy!!!! They knew HOW to Rock! Underated!
Had a 69 Chevelle 396, 4-speed Muncie Rock Crusher, 12 bolt posi rear end. Yep! 8-track tape deck with 6x9 Jenson Tri-Ax speakers in the rear. I remember having to put a match book (I doubt younger people even know what a book of matches are.) under the tape so it would play right, LOL! Those were the days I'll never forget, good times!
Here is an 11 minute version. They also had an even better version in late 90s that I can’t find tonight. ua-cam.com/video/G_OdvxTZRPE/v-deo.htmlsi=2rcpPYtV4QFFceyH
Foghat's first live album is probably the greatest live album ever.The live version of this is incredible. These guys were a very underrated band.I own most of their albums and they have so many great songs that just rock.Their song Stone Blue is a masterpiece.
@@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk So true! I blew a Hispanic chicks mind the other day. I was in my favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, and they had Spanish music playing. One song came on (one I'd never heard), and I told her that that was Carlos Santana. She said no, it is La Banda (Spanish word, Spanish word). I said that's Carlos Santana. She said no, and repeated the bands name. I said it may be, but that's Carlos Santana on guitar. She took her phone and held it up, then showed me, and it said "La Banda (Spanish word, Spanish word) WITH Carlos Santana! She asked me how I knew, and I told her I knew Santana's style - something you can't tell from most bands these days. She gave me some free guacamole!
I remember Christmas evening 1975 and these guys were on Midnight Special. They lowered the sign that said Foghat. When they did my Uncle said oh look a band named Fagot. Lol. I will never forget that.
They've been erased by corrupt leaders, insanity and perversion, and all manner of wickedness. Jesus is our only hope. Music, dogs, and all the other good stuff on earth can only get us temporary pleasure.
With Tone Stevens on BASS killer i got the pleasure of seeing them on the "Return of the Boogie Men " Tour at Mama Kins in Boston i stood on floor in the middle when they built the song up then all hell broke loose . i still have goose bumps
I never dove deep into Foghat. They opened a few concerts that I went to in the early 80's and know their hits but may want to check out some full albums if anyone has some recs.
The band were pretty much ignored here in their native UK but thankfully our US cousins gave them the attention they deserved. On storming form here. Their 'Fool for the City' album is a classic and it was a pity that 'Foghat Live' only ran to a single LP. 70s music is the gift that keeps on giving.
Dave Peverett - lead vocals, rhythm guitar (1971-1984, 1993-2000; died 2000) Rod Price - lead guitar, slide guitar, backing vocals (1971-1980, 1993-1999; died 2005) Craig MacGregor - bass guitar, backing vocals (1976-1982, 1984,[32] 2005-2015; died 2018) Erik Cartwright - lead guitar, backing vocals (1981-1984; died 2017)
Agreed, problems were solved with fist fights not guns, you had people getting high & drunk but no crack zombies roaming the streets, kids would hit the road and hitch and pack across the country, where today being homeless is a life style career choice, living in filth on the streets. I could go on an on. 70's were pure and fun, people still had innocence and wonder for the world we live in, not contempt and self absorption. People lived their life in the present and their surroundings, not detached and pre-occupied with personal "devices". You have to have lived it know the real difference from then until now. I feel sorry for kids and young adults of today to grow up in what society had become.
@@bigmamajama2829 I agree with what your saying but life wasn't all wine and roses back then. You had Nixon, the Vietnam war. the Commies etc. I remember being told to hide under our desks in case the the Commies decided to Nuke us. Same shit different story is what it boils down to. :-) Peace
I was 13 when I first saw them on this show. I had to keep it low so I would not wake anyone up....50 yrs later, I can play it loud and no wake anyone up........I miss the old days...
The Boogie Men!!! My absolute favorite band from this era, finally got to see them in concert in 1979 in Corpus Christi, TX- hell of a great party! The opening act wasn't bad either- Judas Priest!
I think that was the year they cancelled a show in Houston because of a hurricane. They rescheduled for but I missed the announcement. Still have 4 unused tickets...
the first rock concert my older brother tooke me too was Foghat UFO Rush all together and I was blown away! You'd never see so many great bands in one night these days!
This makes me really miss the 70's.. i caught these guys in like 79-80 in detroit. My first real concert. Had main floor, first row, second section . Awesome!!
This is fucking awesome!! I remember in February 2000 when Dave Peverett had passed. I was 28 years old and in active duty Air Force stationed at Prince Sultan Air Base in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. That Monday night, I had just gotten off work at the Fuels Receiving Facility. Bus came to pick me and my fellow troops up and take us back to the dorms. Bus had "Slow Ride" playing on the Musak system. After the song ended, the deejay came on and announced Dave's passing. Really great to see everybody so young here and just jamming away on the guitars and drums! RIP Dave and say "Hi" to my mom for me. 🎸
This is another example why the Midnight Special is so amazing. They put on the best of the best in rock and roll. Foghat is freaking phenomenal. I'm just glad that I watched that show. I'm blessed to have had such amazing shows . The Midnight Special was the show to watch every single weekend.
@@mr.d.572 I had a '59 Jr. , never had problems with it going out of tune more than any other guitar. The P90 is a awesome pickup, and one is all you need.
Man, we had some awesome music in the 70's
YES!!!!!
Yes we had the BEST Music in 60s' and 70s'!!!
Yes sir, we sure did!
Damn straight. Oh yeah. 😎👍🍺🇺🇸
That's no shit ,man😊
Who else remembers staying up to watch the midnight special
BEFORE MTV! with old TV trying to keep sound down so your pop or mom didn't wake up!

So many nights, even if it was mouthing a recording, at the time F yeah, but Foghat on late night , get ripped and watch

Absolutely not.
Absolutely not you forgot Rush and many others from the 70s that were freaking incredible the music today sucks let me repeat the music today sucks there's no such thing as good music now
and because the music "industry" isnt looking for talent anymore....they are looking for satanic influencers.
saw 'em in '77 at Rupp Arena Lex. KY - 2nd row - my cousin caught a drum stick and I got "part" of a towel -- they were - and still are - one of the best
For sure. That was a time when bands earned their chops.....live. And well into the '80s and '90s.
don't think there was a bigger touring band than Foghat, they lived on the road. Lonesome Dave was awesome.
I'm 70 years young, And still cant get enough of this band and music....FOREVER YOUNG MOFOS !!!!!
It's the music, never stop listening to it 👍🏻
I'm with you bro born 1953
61 here and I couldn't agree more.
Yep !
Sadly, the 2 main guys are already gone. But this was a kickass performance.
I love how the song starts with a minute of dueling lead guitar. You're not going to see that on TV in 2024.

You're right...even the "lesser" bands in the 70's were top notch...
Foghat was way underrated!
I've heard this song a thousand times but hearing and seeing it live just blew my mind. So freaking good! Rock On!

Saw them live back in the 70’s…one of the best live bands ever.
Saw this lineup 6 times, had all their vinyl.
Saw them in 1980, pretty sure it was mid November, Rochester, NY. Absolutely awesome. I think it was the only time I saw Rod Price play.
Me-too!

And that... my rock n roll fans... is HOW IT'S DONE.....✌👍👍👊
Indeed
Foghat , ufo , Styx , Boston , journey , and more . the soundtrack of my high school days. All cranked up in my 68 camaro , all on 8- track.
Had a 69 Chevelle 396, 4-speed Muncie Rock Crusher, 12 bolt posi rear end.
Yep! 8-track tape deck with 6x9 Jenson Tri-Ax speakers in the rear. I remember having to put a match book (I doubt younger people even know what a book of matches are.) under the tape so it would play right, LOL! Those were the days I'll never forget, good times!
@@Mark-lq3sb I also had a 69 and 67 Chevelle , all with 8 tracks and a book of matches. If I had a time machine I would return to those days.
This is probably the best footage of Foghat I've even seen. Pure Rock N Roll! Just too bad they didn't play the extended version.
Time constraints...
Agree. I don't t need your f×@king money. Just hope Burt uploads rhe other 2 songs Foghat did ...She's gone + Home in my hand

When I was stone blue, rock 'n' roll helped me through.

Live at the Fillmore East
I need to get it for my “happy place”
Frampton Comes Alive!
Always loved how they played perfect double barreled lead guitars! Great band to see live!

Can't believe the audience sittin there like waxworks! I cannot keep still, even when i'm drivin when i play foghat full blast!❤
Reminds me of Spinal Tap playing at the Air Force base
Haha! Ikr. I hear ya man. Just watched a KINKS Live video, the people couldn't stop moving!! 🎸
Just thinking the sane thing.
Stone cold.😂
Right?! Dud audience 😮
I was gonna add that . the audience better just calm down or the band is going to stop the performance. 😅
They still got it I watched them a few months ago
I've known drummer Roger Earl for many years. He lives in my small Long Island town. See him frequently in local stores and restaurants.
Roger Earl is HOT here!! 😅❤🎉
Absolutely none of today’s music makes me feel as good as this !
Killer, might be the best classic Foghat performance on YT. Now they need to release Savoy Brown's performance!
I saw Savoy's boys when they opened tor Deep Purple. Chicago International Amphitheatre.
I saw Savoy Brown at the Fillmore East over 50 years ago...

I did and now I'm 65 and still listening to them and Grandfunk Rail Road and Deep Purple and so on
70s had so much great music. Great to see them actually performing too.
Foghat was the first Band I ever seen in concert along with Black Oak Arkansas in Asbury Park N.J. they were Amazing.!
RIP Lonesome Dave saw them 3 times in the 70's

From Savoy Brown to Foghat Dave Peverett always a Boogie Brother 💥💥💥
I love Savoy Brown! Tell Mama 🎶
I’m so fortunate to have lived this era, music was just amazing
Had to watch again…This Rawks!
How can those people just sit still like that? Are they listening to the same song I am? ❤️70's 🎵
Lonesome Dave. He sure did love what he was doin'. I love his story. He was even buried with his lifelong partner.
AND ROD PRICE WAS AWESOME too. 2 great guitarists. Drummer Earl still in band.
I watched this as a kid. Brings back memories.
Born in 61 grew up to the best music ever
I saw them at pine knob back in the day for there energized tour. I’m a lucky guy.
Thats whats great about UA-cam, you can allways see the good stuff that ya mite have missed out on back in the day , music is forever !

@@nancyhogue4345 Cow Palace, SF CA 🙂
They were so good. Wish I a dollar for every time we jammed Foghat Live on my 8 track in the Pinto.
What a great band. No overdubs/ no auto tune. Foghat were amasing!
"Foghat Live" on 8-Track was a key piece of the soundtrack of my high school days.
I saw Foghat 4 times in the 70's, that was the loudest band I ever saw at that time. Wow, loved their music. I miss those days.
Saw them in 1977 @ the scope arena in Norfolk, Va. Good olde Navy days. 😊

Love Roger Earl behind that set of Ludwig drums!
Thanks for his name, he’s a hottie 😅
I was fortunate enough to see Lonesome Dave and Foghat back in the day. Good times
😊
I listen to Foghat to this day. Stone Blue is my favorite.
Saw them many many times during the 70's. Always Outstanding!!!
Same.
Foghat BLEW the roofs off Chicago's ARAGON BALLROOM in1975 with Montrose & Black Oak Arkansas it was so loud 🔊🎸🎶
The Boogie Men!!! My absolute favorite band from this era, finally got to see them in concert in 1979 in Corpus Christi, TX- hell of a great party! The opening act wasn't bad either- Judas Priest!
Very fitting, early JP owed a lot to Foghat and Savoy Brown
I think that was the year they cancelled a show in Houston because of a hurricane.
They rescheduled for but I missed the announcement.
Still have 4 unused tickets...
This was an incredible time for rock and roll- there will never be a time like this again.....

Im three years old and this is the best damn rock and roll ever.
As a teen in the 70's...I sure toked up to Foghat! I mean come on people...this is "I gotta get high man" music.
Great era in Music to grow up in. The BEST!

Put that 58-second intro on repeat for infinity.

One of the very best in the great 70's FOGHAT ! Still LOVE their music.
It was February 1976……… Binghamton NY. I always loved the announcer on the Radio. ………… coming to the Broome County Arena FOGHAT
That mid 50s Les Paul Jr has the best damn tone. Gibson got it right with the P90 pickup
I'm surprised his stays in tune. I can't get any Gibson or Epiphone to stay in tune.
@@mr.d.572 I had a '59 Jr. , never had problems with it going out of tune more than any other guitar. The P90 is a awesome pickup, and one is all you need.

Awesome. Thank you so much. More Foghat please. And any Edgar Winter you may have.
Working on it!
@@themidnightspecialtvshow Excellent!!! Thank you very much. Did Rory Gallagher ever perform on Midnight Special?
@@dougjarvie12 Always nice to see Rory's name in the comments! He has a new live cd check it out :-) Peace
@@jimiplayscobo5877 I have Rory's new cd and it is excellent.
@@dougjarvie12 Hey my name is Doug. I thought I heard every version of Tatto'd Lady now a new one. I love how he changes the lead in that song.
Lonesome Dave!❤ I love Foghat.Slooooww Riiiiidde
To think there's still so much unseen Foghat footage out there...keep 'em coming!
They really knew how to rock in the 70's. I was a young uni student when I first heard this. Blew my mind.
The audience only just arrived from The Price Is Right. : )
That was recorded two days shy of my tenth birthday...I missed All the really good music growing up
Saw them 3 times in the 70s. Played guitar with Lonesome Dave to "Slow Ride" !!! One of the best memories I have. Rip LD.
These guys are the epitamy of rock n roll of the late 70's and early 80's. Rest is history.
This went straight onto my Midnight Special playlist.
(:
I was 11 when this came out. 51 years later and I’m still rocking to it!😂🕺
