Dave was a really great singer. I don't know if he got the credit he deserved for it. At least these songs are still out there. I don't think there was a better blues rock than Foghat.
Foghat live 1977 was the shit. Rod Price made this band as far as music. One of the best, I would say the best slide guitarist period in Rock n Roll history!
Jetster, it is incredible, but, UFO’s Strangers in the Night, is right up there next to it. Was at the show in Chicago, at the Amphitheater. But yeah, Foghat Live is just so fucking great. Been listening to it for 42 years now.
Yea my favorite FH tune. I bought the album on cassette tape (and later on CD) and loved to crank it up loud in my car!!! The 70's and 80's were a time when some of the best Rock-N-Roll music in history was made! Long live Rock.
My first concert The Palace WTBY Ct. ....Dave came down jamming right in front of us then handed my girl his pick ....great first show .....70’s put out some kick ass bands that put on incredible shows ....most I paid was 22 bucks ...and we thought that was a lot ...✌️😎
The old Sportatorium,saw my first 2 concerts,Starcastle/UTOPIA & Robin Trower in77 and Sammy Hagar,Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush and NAZARETH in Feb/78.Great fucking times driving over from Naples ...Alligator Alley.fun times
nidsaw u are so right no venue in the land can ever compare to the Hollywood snortatorium as we nicknamed it it was the best era of my life. thanks for all the great times at the snortatorium
Lonesome Dave (RIP) had it all together. Erik Cartwright was so very good too (RIP 2017), but I've always preferred original The Bottle = Rod Price (RIP) and his SG style Gibson Les Paul. Originals Roger E. and Tony S. are so very exceptional! Mr. Earl has always been steady and there; a Mr Beat - laid just a little bit back. Tony had great substitutes like Craig MacGregor (RIP 2018) who was such a good dancer on stage, but hell, Mr. Stevens was the original bass. Thank you Dave Peverett !!! Born April 16, 1943; RIP 46+ in Feb 2000. FOGhat; wear one! Nick Jameson was on bass for some album cuts in the 1970s - studio bass player/producer.
Long Beach Arena (original. Torn down years ago) early 70's. Intro band for I forget who the headliner was. These guys stole the show! Lonesome Dave doing his trademark rock'n back and forth.
I SEEN A COMENT THAT HELL YEAH THE 1070s WAS GREATEST DECADE FOR ME AND ESPECIALLY MUSIC. I SEEN FOGHAT WITH NAZARETH IN GREENVILLE SC IT WAS I THINK 1981 GREENVILLE MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM. FOGHAT BADASS . GRANDFUNK RAILROAD MY ALL TIME BAND
Wow, Hollywood Sportatorium.....Should be hallowed ground not a shopping plaza like it is today. Lots of great memories, what a PITA it was to get to and a bigger PITA to leave after a concert. And the awesome tailgate parties in the parking lot before the concerts. Acoustics sucked but it was THE venue for the time and place....A bygone era for sure.
These guys opened for Blue Oyster Cult in Wendover, Nevada two weeks ago, and they kicked as much ass as they ever did in the 70s. Be sure to catch them if you get the chance!
Can you believe they were an "opening" band for this concert! Unbelievable . . . they "opened" for Blue Oyster Cult on this tour. They blew the crowd away!
That's Erik Cartwright on lead guitar. I have a preference for the play of Rod Price, the original lead guitar player, but Erik is no slouch. Great song, great band.
Not sure if I ever saw them at Cooley's, but been to the ballroom many times in the 70's. But then, I don't remember a lot from the 70's anyway. I am sure I saw Mothers Finest there. I believe it was their first show in Atlanta, (and prior to GA Jam). I was also at the GA Jam. That's been a few years....
Just boys having fun. I wonder if they had any idea how phenomenal they were. Seems they didn't give a shit. I think they would have gone balls out if no one came to hear it. Fortunately they didn't have to

The 70's had THE best music hands down! Period! End of story!
Denise Flick Totally!
Denise Flick Except for all those born 10 yrs after us who think the 80s was the best music ever. I totally beg to differ on that one.
Dave Peverett was one of the greats!
One of the best guitar intros ever I reckon!!
Dave was a really great singer. I don't know if he got the credit he deserved for it. At least these songs are still out there. I don't think there was a better blues rock than Foghat.
Dave is (was,R.I.P.) no slouch on guitar,either!
Dave gots monster pipes, they sound better live than in studio. RIP
"Lonesome Dave" your voice and guitar chops are missed by many.
The real and only voice of Foghat, Lonesome Dave !!!!!
That is very true
My favorite live cut of this awesome song.. it's raw energy belies just how damn technically challenging it is to play but everyone was spot on
Foghat live 1977 was the shit. Rod Price made this band as far as music. One of the best, I would say the best slide guitarist period in Rock n Roll history!
Wow awesome. The 1977 live album was the greatest live album EVER recorded!!
Yes it is a great album. So great I had it on vinyl, cassette and 8track.
Jetster, it is incredible, but, UFO’s Strangers in the Night, is right up there next to it. Was at the show in Chicago, at the Amphitheater. But yeah, Foghat Live is just so fucking great. Been listening to it for 42 years now.
I definitely agree
This is the real Foghat we all know and love!
Not quite. It's missing a little something........Rod Price on lead guitar. Just not the same.
They were HIGH ENERY PURE ROCK N ROLL
❤u guys have a wonderful Xmas and time's to come over the years love Sheila Marie Wells of Olympia WA USA thank you
I love it,this is classic rock and roll people
When music was real and we were free.
Yea my favorite FH tune. I bought the album on cassette tape (and later on CD) and loved to crank it up loud in my car!!! The 70's and 80's were a time when some of the best Rock-N-Roll music in history was made! Long live Rock.
Rocking boogie blues best band in my book, and it's a very thick book.

This is awesome.
LOVE FOGHAT!! I saw one of their last shows before the singer passed..
When did Dave pass?
Feb 2000
Great performance!
Lonesome Dove - one of the best voices in rock.
Craig MacGregor - Foghat's best bass player (by far).
Great song. Heavy hitting rock n roll. I saw them in Phoenix with Blue Oyster Cult. It was intense.
Absolutely righteous performance. I saw them live in Phoenix with Blue Oyster Cult and they were great. Great concert.
Doesn't seem very Lonely here!
Great entertainer......Lonesome Dave Peverett.....RIP.
Glad I saw you live, incredible excitement!!!!!
MARAVILLOSOS, QUE GRAN GRUPO. SOBRE TODO LA VIEJA FORMACION,EXCELENTES
Fukkin A - Hollywood Sportatorium was the scene of a lot of serious rock and roll - with drag racing right next door.
nidsaw u are so right no venue in the land can ever compare to the Hollywood snortatorium as we nicknamed it it was the best era of my life. thanks for all the great times at the snortatorium

JIMMY ROSE They both were great...RIP

Great Old Video! Thanks for Sharing! Erik did a good job, but he wasn't no Rod Price! RIP Dave and Rod!
one of best british singers ever and as matter of fact worlds best toooooo
What a jam!!!
My first concert in 1981 but it was in Philadelphia with Blue Oyster Cult,they were great!

FOGhat; wear one!
Nick Jameson was on bass for some album cuts in the 1970s - studio bass player/producer.
yes it was jester777 YES IT WAS! I was there in '77 rockin and partying hard. Those were the days.
I saw them the year before at the Jai Alai Fronton in Miami. A smaller venue and an excellent show.
Angry people suck but they are the few...celebrate FOGHAT my brother!
Long Beach Arena (original. Torn down years ago) early 70's. Intro band for I forget who the headliner was. These guys stole the show! Lonesome Dave doing his trademark rock'n back and forth.
2nd best cover tune in history, watchtower being #1
In retrospect the best rock song of the 70s
Love this …
That's some mighty fine picking and a singing
I saw them on the Zig Zag walk tour and they played Sarah Lee from the first album right in the middle of this!
Holy f'n gig clothes. hahaha Love this tune and the place was on fire.
i just love this song
Excellent!
Saw em in 78
Thats so kool man
I SEEN A COMENT THAT HELL YEAH THE 1070s WAS GREATEST DECADE FOR ME AND ESPECIALLY MUSIC. I SEEN FOGHAT WITH NAZARETH IN GREENVILLE SC IT WAS I THINK 1981 GREENVILLE MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM. FOGHAT BADASS . GRANDFUNK RAILROAD MY ALL TIME BAND
Lonesome Dave had a fine blues voice.
Grande época!
Not sure why 7 people chose to go thumbs down but I really feel sorry for them.
Miss you Lonesome Dave........
Miss Ya Lonesome Dave......................
Awesome
That cockeye-square guitar-sideburns combo is ridiculous.. but it works
I can't believe these guys have the balls to tour as Foghat without Lonesome Dave. He WAS THE MAN!!!!!!
Wow, Hollywood Sportatorium.....Should be hallowed ground not a shopping plaza like it is today. Lots of great memories, what a PITA it was to get to and a bigger PITA to leave after a concert. And the awesome tailgate parties in the parking lot before the concerts. Acoustics sucked but it was THE venue for the time and place....A bygone era for sure.
Lonesome Dave..So terribly missed.
These guys opened for Blue Oyster Cult in Wendover, Nevada two weeks ago, and they kicked as much ass as they ever did in the 70s. Be sure to catch them if you get the chance!
Those were the days
gotta remember rod price recorded about 7 leads for this in the studio and it was hard to reproduce that live with 2 guitarists
Can you believe they were an "opening" band for this concert! Unbelievable . . . they "opened" for Blue Oyster Cult on this tour. They blew the crowd away!
I would leave the venue if I had to go on after these guys.
They co-headlined. Whitford/ St. Holmes opened. And yes, BOC was a boring act after Foghat played. The energy was gone out of the building!
pure f....ing metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love that bo didley style guitar
God Damn...........that's killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a band guitars from Valhalla
YEAH!!!! Derek Smalls on bass!!!!
great band....
I just got my ass kicked & I love it! Damn I miss the 70's!
Kids this is what we call rock and watch slide guitar on it hurts me too amazin
Rock and f'n roll baby!
Omg no cellphones and people are actually cheering and interacting with lonesome dave. Wish i could been there in this time period
WOW...
Oh, hell YES!
Listening to those 70s jams but seeing those '80s outfits is causing cognitive dissonance. My brain hurts.
luv the square guitar'
That's Erik Cartwright on lead guitar. I have a preference for the play of Rod Price, the original lead guitar player, but Erik is no slouch. Great song, great band.
Erik had some big shoes to fill and he did so admirably.
rock and roll yeah
Ahhhhh the 70s
That was very clever of Dave to ad lib at the beginning "...... but I'll take a check"...... hilarious!
❤
I saw these guys at Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta eons ago....Slow Ride
Not sure if I ever saw them at Cooley's, but been to the ballroom many times in the 70's. But then, I don't remember a lot from the 70's anyway. I am sure I saw Mothers Finest there. I believe it was their first show in Atlanta, (and prior to GA Jam). I was also at the GA Jam. That's been a few years....
Lonesome Dave RIP
ROCK AND FUCKIN' ROLL!!!
Ill take a check!
Rock and Roll
@whitewraithe Don't forget about Kiss Live.
@ChuckieInMT
Muddywood says "Forget it."
AGREED!!!!
studio version entered Cashbox Sept 3, 1977
@DankNstien Yes, that's exactly what I was just thinkin! It's how his ears stick out thru his hair . . .
@muddywood Is Craig MacGregor on the bass
awesome, reminds me of joe dirt..haha
Oh yeah, what a gang, also with Rod
@jimgtr0987654 maybe Savoy Brown when Dave was singing for them !
Just boys having fun. I wonder if they had any idea how phenomenal they were. Seems they didn't give a shit. I think they would have gone balls out if no one came to hear it. Fortunately they didn't have to
gotta be the deadest, most bored audience I've ever seen - how do you not go crazy to Foghat?
1981 I was 1 going on 2
@jbeach2323 Is Erik Cartwright
