Foghat and special guests: Blues tribute

[@rcsutter]

Music history right here. I was 22 then, Foghat toured relentlessly back then, they came to town every year like the circus. Never missed a show and was never disappointed. It's weird though, this priceless piece of video has only 6,793 views (aug 2019) and other worthless tripe on youtube has millions. Consider yourself fortunate if you run across this gem.

[@billylincoln2088]

Rich Sutterfield so cool, lonesome dave told me that this show was the high point of his career

[@davib7534]

Indeed I do Rich! This is the find of my times. I was 19 when they did this. Foghat's been my fav band since I was 15. Thx for posting this !!!!!!

[@rcsutter]

@@davib7534 They played some serious rock and roll. Incredible energy onstage and the audience fed off it right with them. I remember one tour when they were paired up with J. Geils Band. What a freakin' party that was. I didn't come down from that high for a week, lol. Ah, those were the days my friend. Priceless memories. Take care, stay well, and rock on.

[@secondace]

What would you say was their best album or single🎸🧿🎸🧿

[@rcsutter]

@@secondace Oh man, that's like asking what the best tasting donut is. They're all good! But as far as live performance, I have to say "I Just Wanna Make Love to You". The energy is just off the charts, and I love the dueling guitars. I watched them play it, and played it live myself and it always gets my blood pumping and the crowd going nuts! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCylamuib-Fhqc

“The Frog Hats”……lol. FOGHAT IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!!

[@gustavomarauder5168]

Forever Rod Price and Lonesome Dave!!!

[@unclekennymusic]

This is pure gold, so often we say this band and that band "should" be in the RnR HOF... Foghat "needs" to be in the RnR HOF what they did here on this night is more than the RedHotChiliPeppers ever did or Blondie, what the FcK did either of those bands ever do compared to this? Nothing!!! Not a damn thing! Thank you Foghat for being true to the blues and the music that made RnR what it is...!

[@CJBell-ds9gc]

You hit it on the head. Precisely.

[@williamsherman1089]

When I was a kid my image of modern Rock and Roll was Foghat, hell to me they were the RnR Hall of Fame

[@davidmitchell1239]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke and Lonesome Dave would probably be insulted to be inducted. Foghat is far superior than 90% of the people currently inducted.

[@robinjoynes1040]

R and R HOF is a total joke. People don't realize how good Foghat was and how they paid there dues to become great musicians

[@Art-vf3mb]

You got that right brother

[@stratrat57]

I'll turn 63 this Saturday (10/3/20). This river of time keeps on flowin on, and this music seems so far back. The music of the 70's was special, and you can only know that and understand if you were there.

[@mpmonzon]

Not so fast. I'm teaching classic rock guitar & history and other related matter to a 20 year old young man. He loves it.

[@alansmith9948]

Every video of Rod playing he's killing it, soo good! Foghat!!

[@myvintagesunburst7418]

A perpetual opening act in the 70's . I saw them probably 6 or 8 times . they always brought the goods .. frequently they rivaled the headliners with their show . they generally killed ..

[@jaszman29]

Wasn't sure if I was at this show, but my ticket stub does not lie. Thanks to my wife for putting them in an album!

[@mitchgawlik1175]

This is historic gold. Dave's voice was just right for this band and its brand of music. Rod Price's slide work was priceless. Roger Earl and Craig MacGregor really drove a hard backbeat. A rock band for the ages. Man, am I glad Paul Butterfield agreed to appear here. Butterfield was never a slouch when it came to performing live but the boys really pushed him here. Paul was, is and will always be the man.

[@Reapprsr1]

A high school friend introduced me to FogHat and how to smoke a cigarette; how to inhale. I quit that sh*t. Today, he is a surgeon and has a beautiful wife. Me, well I still enjoy that fifth album by FogHat which is Fool For The City. As a senior in HS and a few years on, I performed Fool, Home in My Hand, and Slow Ride as a singer in my garage band. Now at 64 I play "Take It or Leave It" on my acoustic for fun and peace. Lonesome Dave was exceptional, my favorite player, and the FogHat musicians especially Rod the Bottle were just over the top. >>you know, rock and roll _R

[@tefenstrat]

I just can't believe that this concert took place I did not know about it till today--and I saw Foghat back in 72. I guess thank god for KZbin....In fact now that Im thinking about it, its the only thing the internet is any good for as far as Im concerned. Foghat kicked ass at this concert IMO. I just loved the 2 songs this video started with by FOGHAT. THANK YOU TO MUSADIGGAR FOR HELPING THIS VIDEO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY!!!

[@motorcitymanman7711]

Man Dave had a Great voice! I miss him!!!

[@genekersten7165]

Had heard of this video but never seen it. It was terrific. Thanks Foghat. RIP Lonesome Dave.

I just may be a little biased. But I think this is the best music that has ever been on this planet

[@timpenfield5]

A PURE CLASS ACT. FOGHAT FOREVER

[@captsatch]

I attended this show as a 18 year old hoping to see the arena rock Foghat. What an education I received that night. The show was at the NYC Palladium and at least 4 hours long. The concert was actually a benefit for the New York City Public Library blues collection.

[@MarathonManPeatMoss]

I was at this, Foghat opened with Fool for the City and did four or five songs before bringing out their guests. We all thought Eddie Kirkland stole the show.

Best part of the video is when the old timers come on and play and sing

[@flyboy7588]

The first Foghat tune I ever heard was "Aint it a shame". I was hooked. That was back in '75. Saw them several times. Last show I saw was in '96 on the 25th reunion tour with the orignal members. Just an incredible band and a really nice bunch of guys.

[@newmansteven13]

Was at this one. 1 of the best blues shows I ever saw.

[@williamsherman1089]

That last jam with Muddy was pretty much the RnR Hall Of Fame right there.

[@johnmccarthy1105]

Geez... I bought a coworker just before Christmas a Secret Santa present, a book, "The Blues..A Visual History, by Mike Evans"... but due to COVID, we did a video meeting with the rest of my coworkers. It was embarrassing when we had the meeting because the goddang Postal Service lost the book in the mail! Everyone had a present except my coworker, so I immediately ordered another one from Amazon which he received in a few days.. the Postal Service eventually delivered the same book about a month later. So he finally mailed it to me and just got literally 3 hrs ago tonight. Going through this great book, it reminded of going to the Palladium in 1977 as a 16 yr old to go so see Foghat. As a young naive teenager, I was expecting to hear Slow Ride, Fool for the City, but me and my friends walked into a great blues performance. It was an awesome show and this is a great find.

[@GaryHager]

You got lucky !!

WOW! I was at this concert with my pal Billy Rockaway Nd we thought it would be a foghat concert but what we got was this blues tribute with the greats with a lot of musicians I’d not heard of ( I was 17 and just finding my way in the world of rock and roll) and so now I have the privilege and bragging rites to say that I actually saw Muddy Waters and I believe Edgar Winter or Johnny Winter along with all the other greats. I tell my friends about this long forgotten show all the time and it’s so cool to see this post and to actually see that nite again

The black and white photograph at 38:24, was taken at a regular meeting of blues fans who found each other through the letters page of Record Mirror, and met regularly to discuss and share 45rpm American blues singles they imported, since they were not available in the UK. It shows not only Mick and Keith, behind Lonesome Dave's introduction to Muddy Waters, but the ebullient Harry Simmonds, an encyclopaedia of blues/rhythm & blues, Kim Simmonds' seven years older brother, main influencer, and manager of Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack, and Christine Perfect.

I Saw This on TV in 1977 ! Austin City limits ! Cool ! I Haven't Seen This Since Then. Eddie Kirkland Was Incredible ! I Always Remembered him doing The Backflip !

[@JAMaxeRestoration]

Great film, I wonder what ended up on the cutting room floor? Every frame is priceless. I was living only a few miles from Eddie Kirkland's last show at the Dunedin Brewery in Dunedin Florida. I planned on going to the show but got the night mixed up and missed it. The morning after the show I saw on the news that Eddie Kirkland died in a auto accident about 50 miles north of Dunedin. Only a year before his death at age 86 Eddie played on Foghat's Last Train Home album, what a gem of a performance. RIP to all those who were on stage that night and are no longer with us.

A little late to reply, but this concert was actually a benefit for the New York City Public Library American music collection. Something tells me they may have the whole thing on tape, I was there and it went on for at least 4-5 hours.

[@harmonica212]

Correct me if I'm wrong but you have the year wrong it is 1978, not 1977 because I saw it on TV back in 1978. when I was 8. It was a TV special. It is a great concert with a lot of great artists. My friend knew Paul Butterfield because his dad is Ronnie Barron who played with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. One time my friend's dad told my friend to go ask Paul Butterfield to show you how to play the harmonica so he knocked on the door and Paul Butterfield said go away kid you're bothering me. Haha! When my friend was little he saw a knife fight between Little Walter and James Cotton. My friend lives not too far from me. I met him playing music with my friends. You can totally hear Paul Butterfield in his playing. He has seen a lot of famous artists because they would play in his living room. His dad Ronnie Barron would give my friend the name BULLDOG and if you met him you would know why. He is a super nice guy and a great harmonica player and he plays good guitar too. His dad was very good friends with Dr. John. One time a guy attracted Dr. John and shot at him when he was on stage and hit his finger so it was hard for Dr. John to play the guitar so he taught him how to play the piano. Dr. John's original name was Mac Ribennack then he became Dr. John. My friend tells me all these cool stories so I thought I should share this with you. His dad also plays with Red Bone on one of their recording and with the Rolling Stones and John Mayall And The Blues Breakers Canned Heat and many others.

[@musadiggari]

Maybe you saw a recording of the show? The Foghat band is sharing this video on their FB-page and state it was 1977. Anyway, thanks for the great stories!

[@harmonica212]

@​musadiggari ​A lot of times just like when a Record/CD/ DVD is released it is about a year later before it was released for a recording and televised for TV in a record store. When you look for the year in the video it will say 1978. If that is what Foghat says then it is true. Then that means when the concert was released. But then again if you remember they said it was getting very loose backstage and the alcohol was flowing just like the Niagra falls and it was so long ago that they may not remember hahaha! If I get more stories I will share them. Thanks for posting the video it is a very cool concert.
