Without Lonesome Dave and Rod Price there was no FOGHAT. I’m sorry but that’s just how it is. I hate seeing bands without the real members. When you start replacing the heart of the band it’s just ridiculous. All about money. Thin Lizzy is gone as well. FOGHAT, Humble Pie Kansas, who else, oh Skynyrd,Outlaws,and many other bands have sadly left us.
I couldn't agree more. One of the most ridiculous is skynyrd. Tarnishing all the work that Ronnie ,Collins worked to perfection. Tribute a few times is fine but a toure, no!!!!
Don't think you can really say that about Lynyrd Skynyrd for the most part the the nucleus of the band after Ronnie stayed intact for a good number of years but I will tell you this we open for Foghat in Detroit when Charlie took over on vocals he also took over vocals for Humble Pie for awhile to and I will tell you this both bands or so humble and very nice to us we actually hung out with them had drinks and dinner it an awesome experience
@rcjr.7725 yes sir. I understand. Rossington and Collins, different story all together and of course Billy with all the others. When Johnnie took over and toured under the Skynyrd name then had a few albums out, I just couldn't get on board. Not without Ronnie. Even if Ronnie was there, it wouldn't have been the same without Collins. Just my opinion which really isn't worth much. When vocals changed in Foghat it wasn't the same. Every person that has and is playing in Foghats name is awesome and kind from my understanding. Certain names should stay with people I guess. Once again, my humble opinion.
My first concert was Foghat at the LA Forum in CA, Eddie Money opened up I believe it was 1977 when Foghat just release Foghat live. I'm here to tell ya i've been to many many concerts i'm a drummer played in many ah bands and those two guitarists, and the whole band! Played like it was they're last day on earth, they really really kicked ass, I mean they went off, passion passion passion, it really stuck with me and I was 14 or 15 yrs old at the time... Great stuff! Also lol Eddie Money and his band were really great and tight! Great show for a `first ever concert. Peace
Yeah I seen fog had about five times throughout the seventies and eighties and nineties and they did always blow the roof off the joint. That guy on slide is just amazing. Him and Johnny Winter are the best. 😎😎
@@chriskroll4166 Yeah at the time I was young and did see people playing slide guitar here and there... It's funny you mentioned that because till this day the way that's one thing that really stuck with me about that first Foghat show was that cat playing slide guitar, I mean he was going off - just epic!!
wow.... Saw them for Live at The Cow Palace. They were Great!!! Knew of them but didn't buy anything until Rock And Roll Outlaws. A friend bought it first. Rod's leads on Hate To See You Go were super inspiring to me as a budding guitar player in the early '70s. Great tribute.
Great Band, would buy a ticket everytime they came thru town (and they came thru ALOT) What a great, great live band. Dave and Rod were no slouches on electric guitar. Just a great rock and roll band who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (with Thin Lizzy and UFO)
Just saw Foghat with Starship in Laughlin. I realized 2 original members had passed and one had quit touring, so with only Roger left on drums it was still a good night of rock and roll, same with Starship. Mickey Thomas sounded great! Good show.
@stevenslovinski6311 if people who attend any concert of a band that's been around for 50 years and think it's going to be exactly like they were 50 years ago, are only fooling themselves. Stay home then.
I was 10 years old when Foghat LIVE came out on vinyl. I was 11 years old when I first heard it. When I was 18 I was still listening to it. Slow Ride... great tune. They truly were an original rock and blues band.
My band actually opened for Foghat in 1989 in Merced CA. We started out slow and finished with The live version of IJWMLTY. When they finally took the stage, they gave us props for doing so well. They were all very nice guys and I have fond memories of watching them backstage.
Foghat is awesome. I saw them on their first American tour at the Warehouse, New Orleans. They were the opening band and they blew everyone away. They were encored back to the stage about 5 times, and we tried for more but one of the members of Foghat said that the headliner band were getting a little anxious. So after Foghat left the stage, most of the audience left the building. I was so blown away that I can't remember who the headliner band was that I went to see that night. The next time they came back to the Warehouse, they thanked New Orleans for making them famous! I saw them another two times at the Warehouse, a total of 4 times. They knew how to boogie and get the crowd on their feet. Legendary.
Foghat played frequently in Richmond in 1980 and 81. I was in school at VCU at the time and enjoyed both Foghat and Pat Benetar at that time. Great days.
Their first live album was recorded in Rochester NY actually. I think there was a pic from Soldier Field in the album, but all the sources including Rhino Records say Rochester.
I was there for their recording of the first live album at Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom. They (The EBR) had the worlds only quadraphonic sound system. The warm up band saw people dancing with clothes right out of the roaring twenties. They turned out to be the Russian gymnastics team with Olga Corbit. Most Russians only knew clothing styles from old US movies. Foghat made history that night...
I got the first Foghat album in 1972 on the day I turned 16. Saw them live with UFO in 1976. For me, the best albums were the first two and I lost interest in the band after that.
1975, My band opened a show for Foghat & Rare Earth. Tony, ('Tone' at the time), was the only one who didn't run off to private quarters before & after their sets. Cool guy.
I used to live in East setauket On Long Island when I was a kid, and fog hat was actually practicing in a warehouse very close to my. House probably 300 yd away in the middle of nowhere and me and my friends would be invited inside to watch them play, and this was the. Summer that fog hat live was super popular,. It was awesome I kept running into the members of the band in Port Jefferson and setuaket and the surrounding areas for about the next 10 years. , they were always friendly and fun, and I got to speak to Roger Earl and worked with his Xwife. And his present girlfriend at the time in the port jefferson restaurant, roger was awesome
@@MuzixMaker That's awesome, Richie Blackmore used to come into the restaurant in port. Jefferson all the time and I got to talk to him, I swear I had the luckiest life meeting these people, and whence when I worked in the Florida keys at a private island resort. John Lord and his family were staying there. And I got to talk to him for an entire hour. Just me and him sitting at the pool, man. I met most of my heroes.
Seen Foghat live for the first time in the early 70s at Cobo Hall in Detroit, one of the few bands that sound a better live than on the albums. They’re energized album. In my opinion was one of the best day ever recorded. Give it a listen.
A lot of bands that don't sound as good live is because their studio albums are played by studio musicians. Listen to the Beatles play live and their studio albums you can tell the difference.
@ bluesky, Foghat did not have studio musicians. The Beatles played their own instruments in the studio. There was a recent doc on that, and they quit touring in 1966 because of the girls screaming over their music. I don’t think they even have a live album. I have no clue what you are talking about.
~~ saw a 4-band package tour back in 1997 - called; "Summerdaze" - Pat Travers opened - followed by the original line-up of Foghat - then Blue Öyster Cult (3 out of 5 original members) - then the show closed with; "John Kay & Steppenwolf" - (for legal reasons Kay had put his name before the band name) - an amazing show by all bands - but it was especially great to see the original line-up of Foghat - which I had not seen for 20 years before that day ..
Nothing wrong with these guys they rocked the 70's and still listen, as they say 70's music was it. Stone blue just helped me through. Lomsome Dave did it till his end Rip
My band got the chance to open for them in September of 1994, I wad so excited! I lived in a trailer park at the time, and the venue was was within a stones throw from where I lived! I was told "don't tell them you live in a trailer park! I still have it on vhs.
They represent a great part of my life during the 70's. Run me down, and Midnight Oil got many hours of headphone play. I know they tried keeping the band alive, but when Lonesome dropped out of the picture, the magic was gone for me.
The reason bands sound good and their music really touches you is due largely to the chemistry of the players involved. I remember Savoy Brown going through this mess with even more players, The sound of the Savoy Brown band with Foghat as it's original rhythm section plus Kim Simmonds was never duplicated once Foghat & Chris Youlden left. The same held true for Foghat once their original members left. Some one left a comment here that watching a once great band with it's original members gone is like watching a tribute band. I totally agree, For me it's like watching a local band play Foghat covers tunes. Except for the drummer Roger Earl who was not always available to play with them, He was the only original guy left. So, it's not Foghat. Jethro Tull went through the same mess especially when they lost their drummer Clive Bunker and their bass player Glenn Cornick.
I was a thrash metal fan in my teens, but started to get into bluesy music in my twenties when I discovered Foghat. That was in my twenties during the 90’s. Never got to see any shows, but I’ve been a fan ever since.
I saw foghat for the first time on the same bill with rush outside at comiskey Park during the day. Since they had no light show they had to rely on they're pure talent. I cannot say who was better that day because both bands played their asses off. It was just two different types of music. Poor Southside Johnny came on 1st and the crowd booed him which I thought was a shame. 🙋
@@michaelward9880 that's right my man. They had that blues-rock thing down pat. Awesome group highly underrated just like most of the early 70s stuff that I grew up on. KSHE
@@michaelward9880 if you've never heard Kenny Aronson's band dust check them out. Early 1970s American heavy metal. Huge in the Midwest. May I suggest loose goose and from a dry camel.
@@LondonFogg absolutely I have it. Unfortunately it seems like not too many people outside of the Midwest know about dust. Kenny Aronson even played with Jethro Tull for awhile.
Saw new Foghat on January 2024 in Bradenton Florida. They still sounded great. Roger Earl only original member Evangelist Roger Mansour former Leslie West Vagrants Drummer
Here's my formula. A band can lose up to 33 1/3 percent (get it?) of its members and still remain relevant, as long as that doesn't include the singer/main focal point. Any more than that, forget it. Of course, if you lose Rod Price, you're just screwed. No way around that.
What fond memories, big part of my youth, fantastic music and the real deal. For anyone not familiar two songs highlight their talent (and many more): Dreamer and Chateau Lafitte ‘59 Boogie. Please enjoy.
Huhn rhymes with soon not sun. He had quite the career. I went to the same high school in grand Rapids MI. Nugent grabbed him out of a bar band when Derek St holmes left, then Charlie was in Humble Pie and then onto Foghat. He did a great job of covering the singers he was replacing.
Saw them in Dallas in the late 70's at a Cotton Bowl festival and again in early 80's I believe at the Civic Center. Both shows were great. The CC show also had BTO and Judas Priest. Priest opened the show. It was a great night.
They made a Christmas song back in 1981 (I'm guessing) and it was on their Greatest hits album titled, "All I Want for Christmas is You" and it is a rocker of a song. You should check it out. I'm surprised that radio stations don't play this at Christmas time.
Although Foghat had a constant lineup change happening, they continued the same awesome sound and fantastic tunes. The were and still are one of my top 5 all~time favorite groups. They were great any way you look at em'
Wish I could remember that concert. It was a Monster's of Rock and I can remember the Scorpions and VH playing. We dropped some cid and that was that. Lol.
Saw them in a roadhouse down in Texas back in 91:or something. Man did they ever put on a no bullshit show! One of the band members announced his wife giving birth, and they all had a toast and swig from a half gallon jug. Then Lonesome Dave passed it to me and a pal (front row) and we both took a swig, then someone grabbed it and that was that. A minute later while they were ripping into a song, the empty jug was thrown onto the stage from somewhere, and they kicked it around like a soccer ball while jamming. Great show. Got a bunch of signature picks.
Everyone crabs about them not being the 'original' band. Dave's dead, Price is dead. MacGregor, who alternated with Stevens, who was the original bassist, passed on. Bryan Bassett has played for them longer than Price. If Roger and Bryan want to tour as Foghat, it is their decision and their right. Foghat was a revolving door over the years, anyway. If you don't like them, don't go to their shows. Styx, Purple, Yes and others still tour with only a couple of original members. They seem to be popular, even without their classic lineups. Foghat has the right to do the same.
More gigs than any other band! Coincidentally their height in popularity was the height of good popular music in America. Well after Eruption Van Halen , it was race to the bottom.
Some time in the late 80s early 90s Craig Mcgreger teamed up with Tommy Holland, band name Nosmo King I know they toured maybe did some studio , I will have to ask Tommy about more info
Dan Walters who was touring with Les Dudek subbed for Craig McGregor was he got sick and several times after that. Dan was with the band at the same time Matt Baranti was there and stayed longer.
3/4 of the group is, well, passed away. The new lead singer was for years the 2nd guitarist in Buddy Guy's band. The lead guitar player was in Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet. The bass player spent years along side Pat Travers. These dudes rock big time. Just saw them 2 days ago in Indio CA.
They don’t perform anywhere but in heaven. Lonesome Dave WAS Foghat. The name comes from a word he made up to beat his brother at Scrabble . Check out the great live videos here on yet . Any crappy band out there now is nothing compared to the real thing.
I grew up listening to foghat and playing their music. I loved them. My own band got to open for them twice.... got to mingle with them and they were very nice guys, However, the proverbial "Went to hell in a Handbasket" saying describes Foghat perfectly after losing original members. I still love their music and always will. I loved meeting the guys and hanging around backstage with them.. I just wish they were still around!
Cool story. I also met the band once at a Sound Warehouse record store in Fort Worth when they were on tour in 1978 I believe. Very nice guys..would have loved to have a couple beers with them.

78 was the year of 7.50$tickets to foghat in concert. Worth sooo much more. Amazing live act.
I saw Iron Maiden and Quiet Riot in '83 for $11.
@@Red-rl1xx I saw slayer at the Ukrainian hall in flint mi. In 79. 5 dollars
I always thought Foghat belongs in the Rock and Roll of hall of fame. But now everyone knows the Hall of fame is a joke. Foghat rocks
It's amazing that "Slow Ride" is still echoing on the air waves today.
Agree. When Dave and Rod were gone foghat was no longer foghat. Dave was the face of foghat.
No Lonesome Dave, no Foghat.

They made a Christmas song back in 1981 (I'm guessing) and it was on their Greatest hits album titled, "All I Want for Christmas is You" and it is a rocker of a song. You should check it out. I'm surprised that radio stations don't play this at Christmas time.
Foghat has around 4 Christmas songs.
Bill Wyman was on the radio. Rodger earl called . Asked if he needed a drummer. Bill was quiet
more changes than Indiana weather........
Work hard play hard and never never stop!!true bluesmen
My buddy (in a common "altered state" ) at the time saw the new Foghat album "Rock and Bun" in a record store. 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
Seen'em just b4 "SlowRide" release. Saw Kim Simons & Savoy Brown re-saddled sometime in the 1990s.
Although Foghat had a constant lineup change happening, they continued the same awesome sound and fantastic tunes. The were and still are one of my top 5 all~time favorite groups. They were great any way you look at em'
Cool!
LOVE the Rock and Roll album. The cover says it all. Just a powerhouse disc.
Nick Jameson. Great actor, too.
Wish I could remember that concert. It was a Monster's of Rock and I can remember the Scorpions and VH playing. We dropped some cid and that was that. Lol.
Saw them in a roadhouse down in Texas back in 91:or something. Man did they ever put on a no bullshit show! One of the band members announced his wife giving birth, and they all had a toast and swig from a half gallon jug. Then Lonesome Dave passed it to me and a pal (front row) and we both took a swig, then someone grabbed it and that was that. A minute later while they were ripping into a song, the empty jug was thrown onto the stage from somewhere, and they kicked it around like a soccer ball while jamming. Great show. Got a bunch of signature picks.
Charlie Huhn was really good in the more recent form of the band. He “retired” suddenly. Anyone know why? I’m curious.
Everyone crabs about them not being the 'original' band. Dave's dead, Price is dead. MacGregor, who alternated with Stevens, who was the original bassist, passed on. Bryan Bassett has played for them longer than Price. If Roger and Bryan want to tour as Foghat, it is their decision and their right. Foghat was a revolving door over the years, anyway. If you don't like them, don't go to their shows. Styx, Purple, Yes and others still tour with only a couple of original members. They seem to be popular, even without their classic lineups. Foghat has the right to do the same.
DRIVIN WHEEL, NERVOUS RELEASE!!!
Absolutely!!
Soy admirador de Foghat! muy buena banda.
More gigs than any other band! Coincidentally their height in popularity was the height of good popular music in America. Well after Eruption Van Halen , it was race to the bottom.
Some time in the late 80s early 90s Craig Mcgreger teamed up with Tommy Holland, band name Nosmo King I know they toured maybe did some studio , I will have to ask Tommy about more info
Nosmo King was a character on a show out of Pittsburgh in the 60’s.
I heard that Chicago-based guitarist Don Griffin (of The Griff Band) was a member of Nosmo King. Anyone know who the drummer was?
Yep we saw 'em around here mid late '80's, having seen the real before.... they were not. Jam on guys you're good. Ya not Foghat.
Dan Walters who was touring with Les Dudek subbed for Craig McGregor was he got sick and several times after that. Dan was with the band at the same time Matt Baranti was there and stayed longer.
I saw Foghat when Matt Barranti was subbing for Bryan Bassett. But Rodney O'Quinn was the bassist at the time.
THEY DRANK TOO MUCH
Let's hear bout STARZ
I remember seeing foghat,wet Willie,and Starz,good show!!!
It was a very slow ride they still haven't arrived yet !!
My first concert at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino ca
Umm,they died!.end of story!
What happened to Tony Stevens
The are all in Rock in Roll Heaven! Some money hungry hacks are Pretending to be “Fog Hat” Leave it alone!
3/4 of the group is, well, passed away. The new lead singer was for years the 2nd guitarist in Buddy Guy's band. The lead guitar player was in Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet. The bass player spent years along side Pat Travers. These dudes rock big time. Just saw them 2 days ago in Indio CA.
'about as fresh as a foghat concert' this group became a meme
They don’t perform anywhere but in heaven. Lonesome Dave WAS Foghat. The name comes from a word he made up to beat his brother at Scrabble . Check out the great live videos here on yet . Any crappy band out there now is nothing compared to the real thing.
Their early albums are very good. Look them up, you'll like them.
I believe Dave Edmunds produced their first album.
I've got all their '70's LP's.
Who the hell didn’t have Foghat Live, if you grew up in the 70s. It was a rite of passage.
hell yeah. i caught the original line up in ~93 in a bar in south carolina. great show.
Saw them in 1978 in Baton Rouge and got tickets for July 14 2023 in Baton Rouge
I grew up listening to foghat and playing their music. I loved them. My own band got to open for them twice.... got to mingle with them and they were very nice guys, However, the proverbial "Went to hell in a Handbasket" saying describes Foghat perfectly after losing original members. I still love their music and always will. I loved meeting the guys and hanging around backstage with them.. I just wish they were still around!
Cool story. I also met the band once at a Sound Warehouse record store in Fort Worth when they were on tour in 1978 I believe. Very nice guys..would have loved to have a couple beers with them.
