<p>Charlie Huhn from Victory sings with Foghat now. I'm curious about the album Live at the Blues Wharehouse. Stone Blue is also a really good release from Foghat.</p>

<p>Had this on 8 track, then later vinyl. Good album, great band that really "bought the goods" live. And Scott has it right....Foghat Live is a great album, and one of the better live releases. A boogie filled, good time, rockin' band!</p>
<p>Throwing a party, and its just not happening yet? Throw on some "Slow Ride". If that dont get the ladies to dancing, I dont know what will.</p>

<p>I have had this on vinyl for years and years. I've always hoped for a Deluxe Edition or some real nice treatment for it, It does deserve it afterall. The Foghat CD's aren't the best mastering on the market, and I think that's a shame.</p>

<p>Of the many bands that my older brother played as I grew up, Foghat, was one of the most played. The album I most associate with this band is Rock and Roll Outlaws and the closing track Chateau Lafitte '59 Boogie - probably should have included that on my exclusive closers only playlist, you remember that playlist as its only been done one time... anywhere.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Next was Foghat LIVE - arguably the most influential live album from the 70's. And then Boogie Motel, which for me, is the version of the band I love the most. Boogie Motel was played often in my Junior High School and my circle of friends (Yes there is truly a circle and I was in it!). </p>
<p></p>
<p>Then came Tight Shoes and they seemed to fall off the radar. But not for me. Watched them open for Blackfoot in 81-82 and the blew them away. </p>
<p></p>
<p>None of the above takes away from the greatness of this album, Slow Ride is the kind of song every songwriter dreams of. I'm sure they still love those publishing checks to this day! The title track resonates to this day, Craig MacGregor's bass and Rod Prices slide geetar are still standard bearers. But the riffs Lonesome Dave writes are top notch and overlooked. Forget the hits, forget the solos etc etc... go back and listen to the rhythm geetar work, really very good and shows what strong songwriter he really is.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A lifetime of memories from a great band. RIP Lonesome Dave! and Great post boss!</p> This is an awesome album. Yes…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2014-11-27:6060463:Comment:1110522014-11-27T13:59:11.643ZJonhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JonCStephenson
<p>This is an awesome album. Yes, I do own it. I think it's awesome, as I stated before. This sounds really good now that I have a new speaker system for my computer. Was worried that it wouldn't sound as good as my old speakers which were starting to crackle and the power/colume button had a short or something. But, hooked the new ones up and it sounds even BETTER.</p>
