The guys in Foghat, started out in Savoy Brown I met them when we did lights for one of their shows, and they all had fevers of 102 or over!

I’m a day late hearing this one. I’m sitting here alone on my 57th birthday because of F’n Covid. So I turn on RUclips and and hear this and I’m instantly transported back to the 70’s partying with my friends. I got stoned way to many times to Foghat, or just enough times. Thanks for the memories. Try listening to it stoned. Trippy man trippy. ♥️
@Jennifer Puhl You know a lot of tunes, but not by the title. For a lot of people it'll be classical pieces they've heard a bit of on a movie soundtrack.
Frampton comes Alive., Montrose's 1974, Tubes, Journey was around Perry wasn't in the band then. Totally different from soft rock journey. You can find old live journey at winterland. 74-76
Oh man! The memories!! Field parties, bonfires, crazy teen years! A true head-banger from my younger days, jammin' out with my best friend! 😄 Miss those days.
@David Theisen You made my cool beverage take a fast ride out my damn nose. I hope you’re happy with yourself. (but seriously, comedy gold. Thank you for that my man!)
Such a great song. I especially love how it's slow and cool and glides along, then at the end it gets faster and faster and until the climax, much like real events behind the underlying theme of the song.
The sheer joy on this man's face when he realizes he knows the song and can now put names, and sometimes faces, to the music. Just makes me smile. Thanks, man. Love your reactions.
So glad you did the full 8 minute version. Some reactors only do the short 3 or 4 min radio edit one. This version goes from a Slow Ride to a pedal to the metal ride.
Watch the movie “Dazed and Confused”. The movie is from (1993). It is based in Austin Texas. Fog Hat’s “Slow Ride” is used in the final scene. There are several other great songs in this movie.
Jamel, this is one of those songs that when it comes on the radio I drive about 10mph slower, just on principle. Now "Radar Love" by Golden Earring is the opposite, I drive about 20mph over the limit. Please react to Radar Love, please and thank you.
Agreed!!! I'd have to go with the "Live at St. Pete" version video. Just can't beat Craig Macgregor with this flying finger intro on the bass guitar. Truly one of their best Live Versions.
All musicians have their influences within the business and sometimes it's surprising but not completely. The biggest early influences on the Beatles and the Rolling Stones was a black singer in Florence, Alabama named Arthur Alexander. After both the Stones and Beattles heard his silky voice, the race was on to procure the song for their band. The Beatles won and "second prize" for the Stones was a little number called, You Better Move On which was a huge hit for Mick and the boys in Great Britain. Meanwhile, George Harrison had found his lifelong hero about a hundred miles up the road in Jackson, Tennessee in the fledgling Rockabilly scene in the person of the great Carl Perkins if one needed the other for whatever reason, they were there in a minute. George was beside Carl one last time at his funeral. Meanwhile, Paul McCartney had changed his tune about Arthur Alexander. He no longer wanted to be like Alexander, he wanted "TO BE" Alexander. The American South was loaded with musical talent but it took a bunch of British lads to kick the door down.
In my 57 years on this planet I have been to a lot of county fairs and carnivals. Every single one that I have been to has had at least one ride playing this song. That's what this song reminds me of...county fairs and carnivals.
Truly one of the greatest rock jams of all time. Never in a hundred years would I think anybody would react to Foghat!! What a treat... Forgotten ear candy. Glad to hear ya back.
Brings back memories of me cruising in my 67 chevelle super sport rocking it on the 8-track! Complete with the heads slightly out of alignment, so you had to wedge a book of matches under the cassette. Those were the days. Hot rodding around town on 25-cent a gallon gas (30 if it was premium)! Song came out in 75.
Saw them play this live in a small bar concert in Jacksonville, Fl 1988, a week after getting out of the Marine Corps. Amazing thing is he plays that solo on a small, little Chiquita practice guitar.
Foghat: The greatest southern rock band to come from London, England. My whole life I thought they were American. It makes me think of Dazed and Confused. This came out in 1975. Dazed and Confused was set in 1976.
@@anguitenens The original line-up was all English, but I thought they were American. Literally, just now I found out I share a birthday with the only drummer the band ever had. Different year though.
This song!!!!! Has the best bass line considering the era!!!! Bass has come so far! But this bassist was on board ever since!!! Slapping popping plucking!!! It’s legendary
Bro this song always reminds me of Dazed and Confused! That whole soundtrack is badass 🤙🤙 thanks for the vid man, now I'm motivated enough to pick up the dog doo doo 👊👊💪💪
I got the Soundtrack on CD! It was a two individual disc soundtrack. I've got the Vol 1 CD with the main songs used in the movie on it but I blew not buying Vol 2. I saw it used at a local mom and pop music store 7-8 years ago. I picked it up and I told myself I'd buy it next time. 2 weeks later the place closed overnight, I could kick myself for not buying it that day! I think I walked out with 5 used LP's for like $35 that day! I miss the Vinyl rage of 10 years ago.
Yet another, "Oh. This is This song...he he he" moment: PRICELESS! My friend your reactions always bring a bit of joy into the world. Keep it up. Peace and love, out.
I remember the advent of the Chevy van. So many designs. Airbrush reigned supreme in these days. I was a teenage girl. Don't get in the back of that van! That 70s show is exactly what it was like for us in those days. I can't believe I was in high school in 77. What an era.
The lead singer is the late "Lonesome" Dave Peverett. I read an interview where he said the name "Foghat" was a nonsense word he came up with while playing Scrabble with his brother.
Foghat - "I just wanna make Love to You" Little story, when I was in college my freshman year in the late 70's, these guys did an outdoor courtyard concert at the University and when they got to the song, "I just Wanna Make Love to you", they invited members from the audience to come on stage and sing the last line to the chorus while they played. Nobody volunteered at first. I happened to be in a little local band at the time (we never played anywhere, lol) and my buddies 'prodded' me to dare and go up on stage. I did, and I can say I actually got to stand on stage with Foghat and sing the line "I Just Wanna Make Love To You". It was one of the highlights of my college days. And the only time I ever saw Foghat live. Just thought I'd share that. :-)
I had a 73 Nova with a Craig 8-track, Jensen 6X9's, and a Numark 1200 watt equalizer/booster. This whole album was frequently heard blasting out my windows on our local cruise nights. Wore out 3 8-track tapes of this album. I don't care if I sound like an old fart, God I miss those days!
Foghat was my very first concert ever in 1978. Pat Travers opened with Tommy Aldridge on drums who performed the greatest drum solo Ive ever seen yet to this day. Very fun night! Thank you for bringing back a fond memory.
Yes, the "short" versions were typically for radio play. Back in the 70s, most radio stations didn't like to play anything over about four minutes or so -- and many stations' program directors didn't even want them *that* long; they considered three minutes to be the "sweet spot." So if your song ran longer than that, it was harder to get airplay outside of the relatively small number of "album-oriented rock" stations that would play long cuts. The technology of vinyl was also a factor -- back then, it was hard to get more than about 4 minutes on a single side of a 7-inch 45RPM single, and singles were also a major factor in getting your song out there to the audience because (A) teenagers on a budget would buy the cheaper single rather than the whole album (and then would hopefully listen to the B-side and be enticed to buy the LP), and (B) the 7" single was *the* method to get your song into jukeboxes, which were still very common in bars, diners, bowling alleys, pizza parlors, skating rings, and lots of other places where teens and college students would hang out. Few jukeboxes were capable of playing a full-size 12" LP, and none (that I know of, anyway) were capable of playing one specific track from the LP and not the album side in its entirety.
Dude. When I saw them in 1977, this song was they're encore. The buildup at the end the lights were flashing. At the stop, the house went black and Lonesome Dave screated "SLOW RIDE!!!!!" in darkness. When the chord comes back full blast, every light went on at once and some shit exploded. It was insane!! Thanks for playing.
Not gonna say anything about this one. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy. GREAT choice. Let's take this ride. Jamal : "What is this? The "Slow Ride" part, my friend. (sick bass line starts)... Jamal: "Aw, Sh.t!" (starts cutting some cool moves...) I just smile ;-) Peace, brother.
Saw them when I was a teenager. Loved, loved them. Saw them again in the 90s, just as good! Classic rock IS the best!!!!!! Slow down, go down, got to get your loving one more time. Hold me, roll me, slow ride!!! Yes!!!
Great song rocked out to it many times 1975 Foghat was originally a rhythm and blues band called savoy Brown and some the band wanted to play more edgy blues so Foghat came along 2 of the members Came up with the word while playing scrabble I think it's a fictitious word Great reaction is always you were my 1st reaction video about 6 months ago because of the pandemic...I stumble across you and you were reacting to Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald which is an amazing sad tragic tale but done beautifully by Gordon and then I binge watched you for about the next 6 hours lol ... Love your energy great reaction keep spreading the music to the masses God-bless God's favour
Chad Boddie He’s in the driver’s seat, the drummer in the passenger and the rest of the band is in the back. The bass line definitely made the song. If he would have been turned down and laying back, I think this song wouldn’t have nearly the feel it does.
I picked up the bass in 1978 and never put it down, Love my Rickenbacker and Fender sounds. JPJones rocks the Fenders and Geddy both styles w CSquire rockin' the Rick, but All My Life the best bass sound has been Foghats bassist. With 16th note precision he has always sounded the cleanist and tightest I have ever heard. I am pretty sure it's a Rickenbacker on this track fingered, so aggressive punchy w the classic growl.
True story this song is on one of the guitar heroes and when my nephew was probably 7 ish he’s 20 now he came to me and said auntie I just heard this song have you ever heard of it it’s amazing it’s called slow ride by Foghat and I was so happy because previous to that he had been listening to *NSYNC he also wanted to know if I knew who the Rolling Stones were and that they had a great song name paint it black guitar hero totally Made the type of music he likes take a detour and I was so happy
Bob Ravenscraft It made my day he asked me to make him a mix CD of a list of songs and he wrote me out a list of songs from guitar hero because my brother who is a country fan knew that I would have all the classic rock heavy metal songs And told him to ask me this was a while ago now but it still makes me happy when I think about it
:)...Seen them with Golden Earing... It's crazy how great everything we took for granted is so great now...Fog Hat was just one of those great FM radio song bands...There were SO MANY great rock bands then...The competition was BRUTAL...I knew so many great musicians and bands that never went anywhere...
I didn't hear "Billie Jean" at all. Interesting that you did. It is awesome to see your reactions to some excellent classic rock songs. Keep 'em coming!
I think a lot of times, people are affected subconsciously by music they heard in their formative years. Michael Jackson and the drummer in Billie Jean might have been Foghat fans! :)
I saw these guys around '86 at a place called Val-du-lake in west Michigan. It's a place they had concerts outside in a sand dune like park, on the shores of Lake Michigan. I also saw STYX there as well.
This song takes me back to my boyfriend's van - y'all remember the van - some type of painting/mural on the sides and shag carpet on the inside! The original shaggin' wagon! I remember listening to this song very loudly in that van while slowly looping through the "spots"!
I was at the amphibian club in San Diego, military club, they played there and we danced with them and their wives and girlfriends there. Not the original band, it was 1989, was a great time. When done set club put up some juke box music they came down got drinks, memories.
Mad props to the Reverend William Spooner (1844-1930), without whom we'd never have been able to do funny things with the names Scottie Pippin (Potty Skippin') and Forrest Tucker (I'll let you you do that one)!
One the The Best Songs Ever....... PERIOD...... Listened to every morning on my way to school.... when I went...lol. I believe I was an alarm clock for many of my neighbors.
I don't know if you have heard of Billy Squier but my favorite of his is "the stroke" from his 1981 album "Don't say no." Check it out and I would like to see your reaction of it. That is if you haven't already if you did please let me know.
...Foghat [The name is, just, a nonsense word] are, actually, one of those rare bands who, while hailing from England, had moderate success in the U.S. and, essentially, NONE in their home country!! (MOST people would tell you they assume that Foghat are, uniquely, American!) The founding members were, all, excepting: Rod Price (the lead guitarist), members of Savoy Brown [not founding members of THAT outfit, though!], who departed that band to create FOGHAT. Rod Price was a prior member of an outfit called: Black Cat Bones which is ONLY recognized due to the band's one-time inclusion of: the GREAT Paul Kossoff [founding member of: FREE, with Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke (later of Bad Co.) and Andy Fraser.] and, then: Rod "The Bottle" Price [who was hired to attempt to replace Kossoff (which no-one could!)], himself.. ...This reputation is mildly unfair to their musical capabilities ...but 🤷♂️🤷♂️ anyway!....] Foghat, pretty quickly, transitioned to the East coast of the U.S. [although their sound/feel is, definitely, a bit more "mid-western" in feel; overall.], eventually establishing: The Boogie Motel recording studio, on Long Island ((One of the first major facilities located there and a frequent home to: Blue Öyster Cult, over-the-years, as well [1970s and into the early 1980s].)). [Initially, the band signed with Bearsville Records and (I believe - most likely!) recorded in: Bearsville Studios (in upstate New York) - Later: home to Todd Rundgren, for decades!] "Slow Ride" is Foghat's most well-known, well-recognized song and their biggest hit (I'm pretty certain ...Although, I'm sure there's an argument to be made for: "Fool For The City"!). I, HIGHLY, recommend "Stone Blue" and "Fool For The City" (from their catalog) as well as their amped-up classic blues covers: [the best of which are]: "I Just Want To Make Love To You" [Willie Dixon] (first recorded by: Muddy Waters) and Robert Johnson's classic: "Sweet Home Chicago" [Itself an update/alteration of former blues standards] (perhaps, MOST well-known for the version recorded by: Junior Walker. -I would say that FOGHAT's version EASILY, gives that "a run for its money," though!!!! 😜🤘🔥🤘), as MUST-listens! FOGHAT (and its "precursors": Savoy Brown and Black Cat Bones) are best-described as: amped-up, boogie-rock, boogie-blues bands, based in the British Blues revival. They play classic American blues, in the Chicago/Chess Records tradition, but: electrified (in the manner of the times ..and moving forward therefrom....) and at an increased volume, with an early-'60s British attitude , sensibility and love for the traditions and sounds and immersed in the '70s development of: "more volume." 😜😜 ...as well as a sense for and a love of: "Boogie" (not, really, "boogie-woogie" -although, clearly, based-on that!- but, also, an electrically-charged, amped-up, modernized version of that and with a swing that has a more limited "pendulum swing." 😏😉). 👍👍 ...If those are "your thing" ...You're ALL about them!
@@lepoetress As I state, above: The band was FOUNDED in England (by cast-offs/departures from: Savoy Brown -essentially-), but, really; for all intents & purposes; "became American." ...after they built the "Boogie Motel" on Long Island, they were, really, based in the U.S. (& as I believe I had mentioned: prior to that, they made their "home base" at Todd Rundgren's Bearsville studios (upstate N.Y.) ...so, in many ways: they "were" American (just, not by ethnicity/origin). ...The music they admired and wanted to play was down-home American blues-based boogie/classic R&B, so... 🤷♂️🤷♂️ ...and I am not 100% sure which song you were referring to, but ...For me, all of the ones I mentioned ["Fool For The City"; "Stone Blue" and , yes, "Slow Ride" [the full version!] ...even their cover of Willie Dixon's classic "I Just Want To Make Love To You" : ALL barn-burners. No question! 🤘🔥🤘 ...and Roger Earl's groove is legendary! 🤘🤘
@@lepoetress ...I am pretty sure 95-99% of their fan-base always thought of them as a U.S. band (I know that, even, *I* did ...until quite-some-time later, when I read/heard more about the band's founding and history.👍)! No worries! 😁
@@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra Slow Ride was the main song I heard from them; that was the one I was talking about. Thanks for the info and stay blessed.
Your reaction reminds me of me and my friends listening to this in high school on 8 track, GOOD TIMES. Thanks keep doing what your doing. I'm a follower of yours forever now. Keep it playing and real.
This was the song my hubby (then my boyfriend) put on the first time we got busy. And it was in 2001. Song had been around a long time by then but it was still good background music for doing the bump and grind.
Love your reactions. If I could recommend something, I’d suggest “The Tragically Hip” our of Canada. They’re a damn treasure up here, the lead singer was diagnosed with brain cancer and a live concert was held on the CBC (a government funded tv and radio station) just before he passed. I haven’t met a single person (in Canada) that didn’t watch this concert. I’d say “ New Orleans is sinking” is probably their most successful song internationally and the easiest of theirs to really get into. Do us Canadians a favour and listen to these gems. Thanks.
In high school we had a juke box in our cafeteria (this was in 1976) and inevitably this song was played every lunchtime, sometimes 2 or 3 times. The entire cafeteria was Rockin out to this song. Great memories of a fabulous song! Thanks for a great reaction video again Jamal!! Shout out to you in this one for doing this song! Thanks Jamal! 😁😁🤣
I'd have to take that up a notch, Blood Sweat and Tears, fusion, Rock + Gospel + Classical + Country + Jazz + Blues, there's about 8 songs here from this group that need to be explored, Blood Sweat and Tears is it's own, talent rich category.
I'm like fifteen, about to be sixteen, and I've listened to these old rock songs so much they sort of got bland to me, but to see you get so pumped up listening to these old songs really revives my heart for the genre.
Slow Ride was released in 1975 - oh it takes me back to my teenage years! I still know every note and drum beat. Never noticed how similar that drum section is to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean - interesting observation. Love your reactions and your energy and your love for the music. Keep it coming
debbieomi Ok, curiosity got the best of me and I looked it up. Oh my god that was bad, and I only watched about 45 seconds worth of it. Thankfully you warning was enough to stop me before it ruined the song for me like it did for you. May I suggest you listen to the original while carping on a photo of pat boon, that may erase at least some of the damage.
Back again for the third time. Every time I hear this song, reminds me of Todd in Tunica, MS We were there for a bike rally, free concert. he was a body builder and couldn't move very flexible, but got his groove on to this song. Todd if your out there, Dance!
I think hearing my dad play this all the time in his truck or in the garage is what made me fall for bass - as a kid, bass NEVER stood out of course because it's just buried in the background of so much music. But, to hear popping on a '70s rock song just blew my mind, not to mention just how they just shoved the bass tone all the way to the front of the mix of the whole song, it just completely blew my mind wide open about what you could do in music with a bass and really made me want to write music with a lot of unique bass sounds. Such a legendary song; the top musicians of yesterday were just on a Different. Damn. Level. from today's top musicians.

Yup, this is time warp for the 50+ crowd 👍🤘✌️
Yup fitty nine
So who’s got weed?
I tell my partner that this our song lol. This is why AC/DC said “For Those About to Rock, We Salute You “
Saw Foghat in concert, yes I’m that old 😂 but I can say I lived and listened to some of the best rock legends ever!
Hey Julie who did you see play? I always wanted to see Zeppelin
I'm still waiting for Yes - Roundabout and Golden Earring - Radar Love
i think i've seen where people who have tried to react to radar love have had it taken down.
I say yes to YES
@@PaulHilburgerI'm pretty sure roundabout is one of his reaction that is blocked globally
Could try the White Lion cover of Radar Love. I actually prefer that over the original personally
Radar Love absolutely
"I Just Wanna Make Love To You" by the same group rockin' the hell out of a blues standard.
Fo Sho
Stank
Agreed!!! I'd have to go with the "Live at St. Pete" version video. Just can't beat Craig Macgregor with this flying finger intro on the bass guitar. Truly one of their best Live Versions.
One of my favorites from back in the day!
Yes!!!
Slow Ride from the album Fool for the City was released in 1975. Thats before billie jean, so its possible MJ was influenced.
@J. C. MJ wrote most of Billie Jean, though.
All musicians have their influences within the business and sometimes it's surprising but not completely. The biggest early influences on the Beatles and the Rolling Stones was a black singer in Florence, Alabama named Arthur Alexander. After both the Stones and Beattles heard his silky voice, the race was on to procure the song for their band. The Beatles won and "second prize" for the Stones was a little number called, You Better Move On which was a huge hit for Mick and the boys in Great Britain. Meanwhile, George Harrison had found his lifelong hero about a hundred miles up the road in Jackson, Tennessee in the fledgling Rockabilly scene in the person of the great Carl Perkins if one needed the other for whatever reason, they were there in a minute. George was beside Carl one last time at his funeral.
Meanwhile, Paul McCartney had changed his tune about Arthur Alexander. He no longer wanted to be like Alexander, he wanted "TO BE" Alexander. The American South was loaded with musical talent but it took a bunch of British lads to kick the door down.
Billy Jean actually came from Hall and Oates ‘I can’t go for that’.
In my 57 years on this planet I have been to a lot of county fairs and carnivals. Every single one that I have been to has had at least one ride playing this song.
That's what this song reminds me of...county fairs and carnivals.
This was the stoner's anthem of the 70's yes indeed
Yeah, I just took a hit and thought, now I've got a Foghat...
So true so true
I think it was still the stoner anthem into the late 80s.
Damn right
Truly one of the greatest rock jams of all time. Never in a hundred years would I think anybody would react to Foghat!! What a treat... Forgotten ear candy. Glad to hear ya back.
IKR!
“This is this?” Should be a shirt!
Right?!? I loved when he said that.
Agreed!!!

Yes. It should be.
For some reason I thought this was *ZZ TOP* instead. *FOGHAT.* NICE TO KNOW!
Right
Brings back memories of me cruising in my 67 chevelle super sport rocking it on the 8-track! Complete with the heads slightly out of alignment, so you had to wedge a book of matches under the cassette. Those were the days. Hot rodding around town on 25-cent a gallon gas (30 if it was premium)! Song came out in 75.
Saw them play this live in a small bar concert in Jacksonville, Fl 1988, a week after getting out of the Marine Corps. Amazing thing is he plays that solo on a small, little Chiquita practice guitar.
Foghat "Fool For The City" and "KISS ALIVE!" were the first albums I ever bought when I was 13 years old in 1975.
I was a HUGE KISS fan 😁💋
All that's missing is a cloud of cannabis floating in the air.
Not missin' at my place either!😜
depends where you are at
Smoke is fillin the air in my pad :)
Kathleen Henson yep! Me too!
The only thing more poisonous than cannabis is cannabis smokers...
Foghat: The greatest southern rock band to come from London, England. My whole life I thought they were American.
It makes me think of Dazed and Confused.
This came out in 1975. Dazed and Confused was set in 1976.
To my knowledge, the only past members from the states were Nick Jameson(Missouri), Craig MacGregor(Iowa), and Erik Cartwright(New York).
@@anguitenens The original line-up was all English, but I thought they were American. Literally, just now I found out I share a birthday with the only drummer the band ever had. Different year though.
@@johncampbell756 You're right, and that's cool! They did have a Southern rock sound.
Their bassist on this song is from my home state of Missouri!
What? They are English?
"Fool for The City" LP was Released in 1975. their Fifth Album and First one to go Platinum
This song!!!!! Has the best bass line considering the era!!!! Bass has come so far! But this bassist was on board ever since!!! Slapping popping plucking!!! It’s legendary
My ultimate favorite song. I can hear this song again and again and never get bored. Great song. Gotta love Foghat. 🎸🎤🥁✊🏻😊👍🏻
Bro this song always reminds me of Dazed and Confused! That whole soundtrack is badass 🤙🤙 thanks for the vid man, now I'm motivated enough to pick up the dog doo doo 👊👊💪💪
One of the best movies ever...!
Absolute truth...badass soundtrack!
Yep... junior high for me.. but a total representation of the time!!!
In my opinion, the best movie soundtrack of all time. A Knights Tale is close.
I got the Soundtrack on CD! It was a two individual disc soundtrack. I've got the Vol 1 CD with the main songs used in the movie on it but I blew not buying Vol 2. I saw it used at a local mom and pop music store 7-8 years ago. I picked it up and I told myself I'd buy it next time. 2 weeks later the place closed overnight, I could kick myself for not buying it that day! I think I walked out with 5 used LP's for like $35 that day! I miss the Vinyl rage of 10 years ago.
Yet another, "Oh. This is This song...he he he" moment: PRICELESS! My friend your reactions always bring a bit of joy into the world. Keep it up. Peace and love, out.
Yes they do!
THEM DAM 70s Sure make some Great ROCK AND ROLL ,,
I remember the advent of the Chevy van. So many designs. Airbrush reigned supreme in these days. I was a teenage girl. Don't get in the back of that van! That 70s show is exactly what it was like for us in those days. I can't believe I was in high school in 77. What an era.
I had a good times van back then. I put a bumper sticker on the back, which read, "Don't laugh, your daughter may be in here".
The lead singer is the late "Lonesome" Dave Peverett. I read an interview where he said the name "Foghat" was a nonsense word he came up with while playing Scrabble with his brother.
Foghat - "I just wanna make Love to You"
Little story, when I was in college my freshman year in the late 70's, these guys did an outdoor courtyard concert at the University and when they got to the song, "I just Wanna Make Love to you", they invited members from the audience to come on stage and sing the last line to the chorus while they played. Nobody volunteered at first. I happened to be in a little local band at the time (we never played anywhere, lol) and my buddies 'prodded' me to dare and go up on stage. I did, and I can say I actually got to stand on stage with Foghat and sing the line "I Just Wanna Make Love To You". It was one of the highlights of my college days. And the only time I ever saw Foghat live. Just thought I'd share that. :-)
What a cool memory!!
Dude. That had to be absolutely amazing. There must have been a lot of sober people in that crowd. 🥴😁
Freakin' rad story! Thanks for sharing!
Cool
That's some of that stankin 70's stuff. It even has a oder. Gotta luv it. I think everyone had that on 8 track in the day.
Yes!!!
That odor is shag carpeting. 😏
It's the original smell of teen spirit 😂
Cassette by that time I think. My Eagles on Border 8 track is still in my closet though.
I had a 73 Nova with a Craig 8-track, Jensen 6X9's, and a Numark 1200 watt equalizer/booster. This whole album was frequently heard blasting out my windows on our local cruise nights. Wore out 3 8-track tapes of this album. I don't care if I sound like an old fart, God I miss those days!
They always played this song on the flying bobsleds at the fair in the 70s Good Times
Yes!!!
Foghat was my very first concert ever in 1978. Pat Travers opened with Tommy Aldridge on drums who performed the greatest drum solo Ive ever seen yet to this day. Very fun night! Thank you for bringing back a fond memory.
One of the most iconic songs of the 70's!
Yes, the "short" versions were typically for radio play. Back in the 70s, most radio stations didn't like to play anything over about four minutes or so -- and many stations' program directors didn't even want them *that* long; they considered three minutes to be the "sweet spot." So if your song ran longer than that, it was harder to get airplay outside of the relatively small number of "album-oriented rock" stations that would play long cuts.
The technology of vinyl was also a factor -- back then, it was hard to get more than about 4 minutes on a single side of a 7-inch 45RPM single, and singles were also a major factor in getting your song out there to the audience because (A) teenagers on a budget would buy the cheaper single rather than the whole album (and then would hopefully listen to the B-side and be enticed to buy the LP), and (B) the 7" single was *the* method to get your song into jukeboxes, which were still very common in bars, diners, bowling alleys, pizza parlors, skating rings, and lots of other places where teens and college students would hang out. Few jukeboxes were capable of playing a full-size 12" LP, and none (that I know of, anyway) were capable of playing one specific track from the LP and not the album side in its entirety.
38k views in 11 hours ! The power of Jamal and Foghat put together 💪
Dude. When I saw them in 1977, this song was they're encore. The buildup at the end the lights were flashing. At the stop, the house went black and Lonesome Dave screated "SLOW RIDE!!!!!" in darkness. When the chord comes back full blast, every light went on at once and some shit exploded. It was insane!! Thanks for playing.
I love Andy and Alex"s reactions too but ,this is why you're the king - LONG VERSION ONLY!
Not gonna say anything about this one. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy. GREAT choice. Let's take this ride.
Jamal : "What is this?
The "Slow Ride" part, my friend. (sick bass line starts)...
Jamal: "Aw, Sh.t!" (starts cutting some cool moves...)
I just smile ;-)
Peace, brother.
Yes!🤘🏼
Get high, strap on your headphones, turn it up and rock out.
The Foghat album 'Foghat Live' version blows this version out of the water!
Yep, they get realll slow...AWESOME!
still have the CD.....
I literally laughed out loud when you realized the funk was droppin’. 🤘Keep Rockin
I lost it when he said, “Aw shit” 🤣🤣
Saw them when I was a teenager. Loved, loved them. Saw them again in the 90s, just as good! Classic rock IS the best!!!!!! Slow down, go down, got to get your loving one more time. Hold me, roll me, slow ride!!! Yes!!!
Great song rocked out to it many times 1975 Foghat was originally a rhythm and blues band called savoy Brown and some the band wanted to play more edgy blues so Foghat came along 2 of the members Came up with the word while playing scrabble I think it's a fictitious word Great reaction is always you were my 1st reaction video about 6 months ago because of the pandemic...I stumble across you and you were reacting to Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald which is an amazing sad tragic tale but done beautifully by Gordon and then I binge watched you for about the next 6 hours lol ... Love your energy great reaction keep spreading the music to the masses God-bless God's favour
Fool For The City Please? You always brighten my day because you are so positive.
Let's give some props to that damn bassist!!!!
Chad Boddie He’s in the driver’s seat, the drummer in the passenger and the rest of the band is in the back.
The bass line definitely made the song. If he would have been turned down and laying back, I think this song wouldn’t have nearly the feel it does.
I picked up the bass in 1978 and never put it down, Love my Rickenbacker and Fender sounds. JPJones rocks the Fenders and Geddy both styles w CSquire rockin' the Rick, but All My Life the best bass sound has been Foghats bassist. With 16th note precision he has always sounded the cleanist and tightest I have ever heard. I am pretty sure it's a Rickenbacker on this track fingered, so aggressive punchy w the classic growl.
Dude is definitely in the pocket.
True story this song is on one of the guitar heroes and when my nephew was probably 7 ish he’s 20 now he came to me and said auntie I just heard this song have you ever heard of it it’s amazing it’s called slow ride by Foghat and I was so happy because previous to that he had been listening to *NSYNC he also wanted to know if I knew who the Rolling Stones were and that they had a great song name paint it black guitar hero totally Made the type of music he likes take a detour and I was so happy
You made my day when kids come to you saying ever hear this. ME everyday of my life kid god bless em. He'll be fine
Mam if I were there I'd get him a guitar and give him free lessons for life. The A. chord on slow ride. Besides ACDC. Is 101. Good way to start peace
Bob Ravenscraft It made my day he asked me to make him a mix CD of a list of songs and he wrote me out a list of songs from guitar hero because my brother who is a country fan knew that I would have all the classic rock heavy metal songs And told him to ask me this was a while ago now but it still makes me happy when I think about it
:)...Seen them with Golden Earing... It's crazy how great everything we took for granted is so great now...Fog Hat was just one of those great FM radio song bands...There were SO MANY great rock bands then...The competition was BRUTAL...I knew so many great musicians and bands that never went anywhere...
I used to dance to this song, but this part would give a heart attack, it would kill me now.
I didn't hear "Billie Jean" at all. Interesting that you did. It is awesome to see your reactions to some excellent classic rock songs. Keep 'em coming!
I didn't either but he is right, its the drumbeat. The thing is that it is a really common drumbeat
How could you not hear it???? You guys don’t listen to music.
Its just a standard 4/4 drum beat that is used in 1000's of pop/rock songs... AC/DC built a career on it.
I think a lot of times, people are affected subconsciously by music they heard in their formative years. Michael Jackson and the drummer in Billie Jean might have been Foghat fans! :)

Sweet Home Chicago
*"Stone Blue"* is one of my favorites from Foghat also...
Don't forget Fool for the City!
"I Just Want Make Love To You" very popular too
I saw these guys around '86 at a place called Val-du-lake in west Michigan. It's a place they had concerts outside in a sand dune like park, on the shores of Lake Michigan. I also saw STYX there as well.
Late 1970’s. Got to see them live in the 90’s. They still played just like this. Rocked it!
No way 1975 RELEASED SLOW RIDE ,,,, They are big time 70s Band
I just can´t ever imagine Jamal in a bad mood....if I ever need cheering up, I just come to this channel!
Probably the greatest ending to a song. That last 2 minutes is incredible.
This song takes me back to my boyfriend's van - y'all remember the van - some type of painting/mural on the sides and shag carpet on the inside! The original shaggin' wagon! I remember listening to this song very loudly in that van while slowly looping through the "spots"!
Please tell me more 👀 👂

Ain't nobody under 30 in the 70s didn't know this party song.. a KEG and a stereo turn table and party all night with the greatest rock n roll
I have a Navy buddy that always called Foghat “Hogfat”. Always made me laugh.
LOL!!
I was at the amphibian club in San Diego, military club, they played there and we danced with them and their wives and girlfriends there. Not the original band, it was 1989, was a great time. When done set club put up some juke box music they came down got drinks, memories.
I believe Hogfat had a big hit with Slow pig
Did your Navy Buddy also like to eat at *Bib's Bog Boy?*
Mad props to the Reverend William Spooner (1844-1930), without whom we'd never have been able to do funny things with the names Scottie Pippin (Potty Skippin') and Forrest Tucker (I'll let you you do that one)!

I don't know if you have heard of Billy Squier but my favorite of his is "the stroke" from his 1981 album "Don't say no." Check it out and I would like to see your reaction of it. That is if you haven't already if you did please let me know.
Eminem also sampled “the Stroke.” He had Rick Rubin on the wheels. 🔥🔥🔥💯✌️
That whole album rocks. Lonely is the Night, for example.
...Foghat [The name is, just, a nonsense word] are, actually, one of those rare bands who, while hailing from England, had moderate success in the U.S. and, essentially, NONE in their home country!!
(MOST people would tell you they assume that Foghat are, uniquely, American!)
The founding members were, all, excepting: Rod Price (the lead guitarist), members of
Savoy Brown [not founding members of THAT outfit, though!], who departed that band to create FOGHAT.
Rod Price was a prior member of an outfit called: Black Cat Bones which is ONLY recognized due to the band's one-time inclusion of: the GREAT Paul Kossoff [founding member of: FREE, with Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke (later of Bad Co.) and Andy Fraser.] and, then: Rod "The Bottle" Price [who was hired to attempt to replace Kossoff (which no-one could!)], himself.. ...This reputation is mildly unfair to their musical capabilities ...but 🤷♂️🤷♂️ anyway!....]
Foghat, pretty quickly, transitioned to the East coast of the U.S. [although their sound/feel is, definitely, a bit more "mid-western" in feel; overall.], eventually establishing: The Boogie Motel recording studio, on Long Island ((One of the first major facilities located there and a frequent home to: Blue Öyster Cult, over-the-years, as well [1970s and into the early 1980s].)).
[Initially, the band signed with Bearsville Records and (I believe - most likely!) recorded in: Bearsville Studios (in upstate New York) - Later: home to Todd Rundgren, for decades!]
"Slow Ride" is Foghat's most well-known, well-recognized song and their biggest hit (I'm pretty certain ...Although, I'm sure there's an argument to be made for: "Fool For The City"!).
I, HIGHLY, recommend "Stone Blue"
and "Fool For The City" (from their catalog)
as well as their amped-up classic blues covers:
[the best of which are]: "I Just Want To Make Love To You" [Willie Dixon] (first recorded by: Muddy Waters)
and
Robert Johnson's classic: "Sweet Home Chicago"
[Itself an update/alteration of former blues standards] (perhaps, MOST well-known for the version recorded by: Junior Walker.
-I would say that FOGHAT's version EASILY, gives that "a run for its money," though!!!! 😜🤘🔥🤘), as MUST-listens!
FOGHAT (and its "precursors": Savoy Brown and Black Cat Bones) are best-described as: amped-up, boogie-rock, boogie-blues bands, based in the British Blues revival.
They play classic American blues, in the Chicago/Chess Records tradition, but: electrified (in the manner of the times ..and moving forward therefrom....) and at an increased volume, with an early-'60s British attitude , sensibility and love for the traditions and sounds and immersed in the '70s development of: "more volume." 😜😜 ...as well as a sense for and a love of: "Boogie" (not, really, "boogie-woogie" -although, clearly, based-on that!- but, also, an electrically-charged, amped-up, modernized version of that and with a swing that has a more limited "pendulum swing." 😏😉). 👍👍
...If those are "your thing" ...You're ALL about them!
Good Info! Fool for the city is great
I always thought they were an American band. That song is a 4 alarm blaze!!!
@@lepoetress As I state, above: The band was FOUNDED in England (by cast-offs/departures from: Savoy Brown -essentially-), but, really; for all intents & purposes; "became American."
...after they built the "Boogie Motel" on Long Island, they were, really, based in the U.S. (& as I believe I had mentioned: prior to that, they made their "home base" at Todd Rundgren's Bearsville studios (upstate N.Y.) ...so, in many ways: they "were" American (just, not by ethnicity/origin).
...The music they admired and wanted to play was down-home American blues-based boogie/classic R&B, so... 🤷♂️🤷♂️
...and I am not 100% sure which song you were referring to, but ...For me, all of the ones I mentioned ["Fool For The City";
"Stone Blue"
and
, yes, "Slow Ride"
[the full version!]
...even their cover of Willie Dixon's classic "I Just Want To Make Love To You"
: ALL barn-burners.
No question!
🤘🔥🤘
...and Roger Earl's groove is legendary! 🤘🤘
@@lepoetress ...I am pretty sure 95-99% of their fan-base always thought of them as a U.S. band
(I know that, even, *I* did ...until quite-some-time later, when I read/heard more about the band's founding and history.👍)!
No worries! 😁
@@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra Slow Ride was the main song I heard from them; that was the one I was talking about. Thanks for the info and stay blessed.

AM radio, short version. FM radio, long version. Back then there were a lot of songs with 2 versions.
Your reaction reminds me of me and my friends listening to this in high school on 8 track, GOOD TIMES. Thanks keep doing what your doing. I'm a follower of yours forever now. Keep it playing and real.
This was the song my hubby (then my boyfriend) put on the first time we got busy. And it was in 2001. Song had been around a long time by then but it was still good background music for doing the bump and grind.
More FOGHAT: "Driving Wheel" , "Fool For The City".
Im a fool for you anyways!!🎶
Yes! Love both of those as well.
Love your reactions. If I could recommend something, I’d suggest “The Tragically Hip” our of Canada. They’re a damn treasure up here, the lead singer was diagnosed with brain cancer and a live concert was held on the CBC (a government funded tv and radio station) just before he passed. I haven’t met a single person (in Canada) that didn’t watch this concert. I’d say “ New Orleans is sinking” is probably their most successful song internationally and the easiest of theirs to really get into. Do us Canadians a favour and listen to these gems. Thanks.
Yes!!! Treat yourself to some "Little Bones" and "38 Years" and my personal fave "Locked In The Trunk Of A Car"
Love Canadians!!😘😘😘😘😘😘

These songs got me through a lot of rough times when I was younger back in the 60's and 70's. Greatest music ever.
In high school we had a juke box in our cafeteria (this was in 1976) and inevitably this song was played every lunchtime, sometimes 2 or 3 times. The entire cafeteria was Rockin out to this song.

Back again for the third time. Every time I hear this song, reminds me of Todd in Tunica, MS We were there for a bike rally, free concert. he was a body builder and couldn't move very flexible, but got his groove on to this song. Todd if your out there, Dance!
I think hearing my dad play this all the time in his truck or in the garage is what made me fall for bass - as a kid, bass NEVER stood out of course because it's just buried in the background of so much music. But, to hear popping on a '70s rock song just blew my mind, not to mention just how they just shoved the bass tone all the way to the front of the mix of the whole song, it just completely blew my mind wide open about what you could do in music with a bass and really made me want to write music with a lot of unique bass sounds.
Such a legendary song; the top musicians of yesterday were just on a Different. Damn. Level. from today's top musicians.
you should watch the movie, "Dazed 'n' Confused" to get the flavor of high school in those days.
I saw that and thought those fuckers followed my around in my high school years!!!
