| | Foghat Live CD Foghat Discography of CDs
 (15 Customer Reviews)
All songs written by Lonesome Dave Peverett except "I Just Want To Make Love To You" (Dixon/Dixon), "Honey Hush" (Turner), "Home In My Hand" and "Road Fever" (Lonesome Dave Peverett/Rod Price).
In the decade before U2 and REM began to dominate the arena circuit, fans weren't looking for political and emotional bombast, they were looking to rock. While Foghat's 1977 live release--aptly titled FOGHAT LIVE --won't win any originality awards, the band delivers on that decade's promise of guilt-free good times. The songs have great hooks, and guitarists Dave Peverett and Rod Price trade licks and keep all tracks above the five-minute mark (an epic "Slow Ride" clocks in at more than eight minutes). The rhythm section--bassist Tony Stevens and drummer Roger Earl--keeps the pace up and, smartly, there is not a ballad in the bunch. While not as essential an album as the band's 1975 studio breakthrough, FOOL FOR THE CITY, FOGHAT LIVE is an exciting listen and a great snapshot of a smoking live band who could choogle with the best of them.
Recorded in May 1977.
Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot and Ken Perry (K-Disc).
Foghat: Lonesome Dave Peverett (vocals, guitar); Rod Price (guitar, vocals); Craig MacGregor (bass, vocals); Roger Earl (drums).
Additional personnel: Dan Craig, Dave Lang, Nick Jameson (percussion).
Live Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews What "LIVE" is all about
Concert goers know that the experience depends on the demeanor of the performers. If you're at the show and the artist seems to be just working their way through a list of their greatest hits and newest releases, and sprinkling in canned comments with your city's name inserted, you're wasting your time.
On the other hand, if the artist is playing and singing like they are absolutely going to come out of their bodies because they're so energized to perform for you, and they start the next song as if it's better than the one you've just rocked-out to, you are going to be talking about that show for years.
Getting that excitement to transfer to a recording is damn near impossible. But, the 1977 release of Foghat's "LIVE" captures that feeling, plugs it in to a Marshall amp and cranks it up to 10! Their form of boogie-til-you-drop hard rock screams out of the speakers. It's a slide guitar, driving beat and soaring vocals. It will have you wishing you could jump into a time machine and be at this show. Buy this CD!

Awsome Concert!
I've seen this band three times! My favorite was at Boogie Hill late 70's. They were the last band w/fireworks! As they say, the best comes last! After buying this CD, I had a blast from my past! Running thru my PA, it felt like I was there again!!! BUY IT!!! You won't be sorry!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  It needs a double cd
Foghat live cd is an interesting feature of the band. There are good song, but maybe the album is too short and the selection of tracks isn't the best. Buy and listen Night Shift to complete better the selection.

One of the best live albums ever
This album shows what an awsome band Foghat is live. One of the best live albums ever made. Great slide guitar, hi energy rock & roll. Much better than the studio version. A MUST for any one who appreciates live performances.

All songs written or co-written by Lonesome Dave Peverett except "My Babe" (Bobby Hatfield/Bill Medley) and "Terraplane Blues" (Robert Johnson).
Undoubtedly Foghat's finest album, 1975's FOOL FOR THE CITY, could cruise along on the strength of the band's biggest and best single, "Slow Ride," alone. In addition to that choogling stoner classic, however, the record also finds the bluesy British rock group offering up the fist-pumping, arena-worthy title track and a oddly funky version of Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues," not to mention the uncharacteristically melancholy "Take It or Leave It." Throughout the eclectic song selection, frontman Lonesome Dave Peverett leads the ensemble with assurance, making sure that even the lesser-known tunes are engaging (see ...
| | Foghat Energized CD (1974)
Live
$7.59
Seldom has a British band sounded as American--or enjoyed such a distinctly American iconography--as Foghat. An offshoot of first-generation blues-rockers Savoy Brown, Foghat amped up the rock half of the equation and found a place in the hearts of boogie hounds and head bangers from sea to shining sea. After a couple of albums found only middling success, their third release, ENERGIZED finally propelled the band into Top 40 territory. ...
| | Foghat (1st Album) CD (1972)
Live
$7.59
All songs written or co-written by Lonesome Dave Peverett except "I Just Want To Make Love To You" (Dixon/Dixon), "Maybelline" (Berry/Fratto/Freed) and "Gotta Get To Know You" (Malone/Williams).
Breaking away from Savoy Brown to form this band, the members of Foghat knew from the start what sort of record they wanted to make. With heavy emphasis on the hard boogie, Foghat got down to work with the help of Dave Edmunds and crafted a hard rock gem. Covering Chuck Berry's "Maybellene," they goosed the beat up until it was almost a precursor of the heavy metal yet to come. Interspersing covers with original material, they immediately found a ...
| | Foghat (Rock & Roll) CD (1973)
Live
$7.59
All songs written or co-written by Rod Price except "Feel So Bad" (Willis) and "Couldn't Make Her Stay" (Peverett).
Foghat's second album finds the group working its way towards the fusion of blues and hard rock that would make them an arena rock favorite. They were not yet the stadium kings they would soon become, but Rock and Roll benefits from a muscular production that gives the band a muscular sound worthy of their impressive live act. A good example is the powerful album opener "Ride, Ride, Ride": Lonesome Dave Peverett wails over a boogie beat fortified by rumbling power chords as gospel-style backup vocalists cheer him on at the chorus. "Road Fever" is another choice rocker, a song about the rock & roll touring life (a recurrent Foghat song subject) that spices up its fuzz guitar rock with a rubbery bassline and a attractive but non-intrusive horn section. However, not everything on Rock and Roll is as inspired as these two tracks: songs like "Feel So Bad" and "She's Gone" succumb to cliché boogie-rock lyrics that are as dull as their titles and plodding song structures that lack hooks and inventive arrangements. Despite this occasional lack of inspiration, the band manages to pull off a few surprises here and there that show they were looking forward: "Helping Hand" crossbreeds the band's boogie sound with acoustic country-rock touches to create a tune that sounds like the Eagles on steroids, and the power ballad "It's Too Late" succeeds despite its cliché lost-love lyrics, thanks to a sharp arrangement that shows off the sharp guitar interplay between Peverett and Rod Price. All in all, Rock and Roll lacks the consistent material to win over casual rock fans, but any Foghat enthusiast ...
| | U F O Strangers In The Night CD (1979)
Live
$11.69
Recorded live at The Amphitheatre, Chicago, Illinois; The Gardens, Louisville, Kentucky and in Youngstown, Ohio. Includes liner notes by Jon Sutherland.
One of the premier live rock albums of the '70s, STRANGERS features a band at its peak performing all its hits and fan favorites. The album was recorded during two nights in Ohio in 1978, when the band opened for Blue Oyster Cult. This reissue features remastered sound, extended liner notes, and the correct track sequencing.
The album's two bonus tracks, "Hot 'N' Ready" and "Cherry," get the album started in supreme hard-rock fashion. "Out in the Street" shows why Phil Mogg is overlooked as one of the premier hard-rock vocalists of his era, while "Only You Can Rock Me" features the guitar prowess of Michael Schenker. "Doctor Doctor" is probably the band's most well-known song, and this live version is more powerful than the studio original. The same can be said of "Lights Out," the title track of the band's most successful album. The band comes together and kicks it hard on the thunderous "Rock Bottom." Combining elements of metal, hard rock, and progressive rock, UFO's well-crafted compositions are every bit as good as those of ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Live
$6.39
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of the band's greatest hits with a few well-chosen covers, which will doubtless ...

Deep Purple Mark II (Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore) reunited in the mid-'80s and staged a comeback with the album Perfect Strangers. This live two-CD set comes from the band's first show in England following the reunion. Besides the songs from Perfect Strangers, the band sticks to their Machine Head-era set list, except for an array of classical quotes and a brief tribute to Gillan's starring role on the original Jesus Christ Superstar album. The band isn't quite as together as they were in the glory days of Made in Japan, but the excitement of ...
| | Reubens Accomplice Bull, The Balloon & The Family CD (2004)
Live
$9.89
Like the Weakerthans southerly, desert-bound (Phoenix, to be specific) cousins, Reubens Accomplice play angular and smart pop songs built on a sunny outlook to tweaker trailer park culture, strip malls majesty, and spacious adolescent plains. The band is markedly stronger on their more propulsive numbers -- take "Big Apple, Small Heart," for instance, which crunches power pop, Jimmy Eat World bombast, emo-psychedelia (points for new genre) and waves of noise all into the same song. The country-pop twang of "Underneath the Golden Grain" sounds like Limbeck, and "All Chorus" recalls the more McCartney-inspired moments of Saves the Day's In Reverie, but with an epic grandeur that band never really aims for. The Bull, the Balloon and the Family is not a perfect album, but Reubens Accomplice has made good on the promise of their debut, and created a record that is not only as melodic and moving as the average emo fare, but more rocking and more true to themselves and their experiences. ~ Charles Spano

| | Severed Heads Rotund For Success CD (1989) (Import) United Kingdom
Live
$15.35
This 1989 record by the quirky Australian electro-pop group Severed Heads features "Midget Sings" and "Bad Times Three."
The Australian group Severed Heads specialize in bizarre electronic sound collages that may or may not be entirely tolerable. Rotund for Success, released in 1989, is one of the band's better efforts, actually focusing more on actual songs than avant-garde experimentation. Main Head Tom Ellard has succeeded in crafting several catchy, if not weird, pop tunes on Rotund for Success, especially "All Saints Day" and the engaging "Big Car." Producer Robert Racic's appearance behind the boards is a big plus; considering his production expertise on fine albums by the techno-pop group Boxcar and the more atmospheric Single Gun Theory, it's no surprise his influence is evident throughout Rotund for Success. For a band often associated with the more aggressive, noncommercial sounds of industrial music (like Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy), the more pop-friendly approach on Rotund for Success is surprising, if not entirely successful. Much of the material is light as a feather, floating by without making much of an impression. Still, Rotund for Success is a pleasurable (though not completely rewarding) listen. ~ William Cooper
