Amazing document of a great live band
Man, how time flies. It's been over 30 years since this record first hit the shelves, but the memories are still pretty clear in my mind, especially as I listen to the tracks. "Foghat:LIVE" was the band's commercial and critical pinnacle, and with good reason as this set pretty much defines what this group was all about: flat-out, hard-rockin' blues-boogie.

Coming in at under 40 minutes, it was also a tribute to brevity, something that was lacking in most of the 70's-era live albums. You won't find any filler on this disk as the boys stay tight and focused throughout. There ARE extended jams, but they never reach the point of mindless noodling. Foghat excelled as a live band, and each of the songs presented here ecipse their studio counterparts. Lonesome Dave's voice soars, Rod Price's guitar solos are tight, the rhythm section is in a groove, and the whole thing just comes together right.

"Foghat:LIVE" is a blistering document of one of the greatest hard rock bands of the 1970's. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you're just now discovering these guys. Listen to it LOUD!

Foghat Live 1977 Trivia
Actually, the album was recorded at the Dome Arena on May 10th 1977. Procol Harem opened up the show. It took longer than normal for the band to come on stage. I remember the announcer apologized for the delay, but then told the audience that they were setting up to record a live album. The place went crazy.

One of the best live records of all-time
Foghat's live record, simply called 'Foghat Live' is simply incredible. There are only six songs here, but all six of the songs are far superior to the studio versions. 'Fool For The City' is just a jam session between vocalist/guitarist Dave Peverett and guitarist Rod Price.

The famous 'Slow Ride' is even better than the studio version. Peverett's vocals are at their finest, and it is the best part of the entire record. Also, Price and bassist Nick Jameson jam as well.

As a huge Foghat fan, I can always recommend this live record. It is one of the best live records ever recorded.

Highly recommended for any Foghat or classic rock fan. ENJOY!!!

NOT IMPRESSED
I read reviews on this disc and took a chance. What are you guys hearing that I'm not hearing. They are fair. But, I find nothing very interesting in their interpretations. Give me Bob Seger.

A tribute to Rod Price and Lonesome Dave
I attended a blues festival at Fort Mason, SF California sometime around 04-05. Headliner was Buddy Guy with special guest Carlos Santana, supporting acts was British Blues allstars aka KIm Simmonds featuring Rod Price, and Norton Buffalo. Rod Price was hands down the monster among legends that beutiful day. This brought me back to "Foghat Live" A blistering live set wheras Rod Price's astonishing lead and slide guitar work has to be some of the finest chops ever recorded. I was heartbroken when i learned that Rod Price passed away about a year later and didnt know until today that Lonesome Dave had succumed to cancer. Foghat seemed to have a knack for commercial succses yet never selling out. This album when released back in the day was commercial in design yet when cued up turned into absolute rock n roll warfare...astonshing to this day...Rod and Dave...r.i.p.
