FOGHAT - FOOL FOR THE CITY | REACTION

[@4ak458]

Glad you discovered this fabulous band.

[@kentnottingham9635]

If you were raised on rock n roll, THIS was definitely playing somewhere! Radio, pool hall, skating rink IT WAS EVERYWHERE!

[@kevinmclaughlin1092]

One of the best driving songs ever. Especially the ending when the guitar starts jamming on that second solo.

[@douglasg.9271]

Foghat live was a must own record in the 70s. It was always one of the most worn out albums at every party.

[@mickeeteeze]

Agreed. Great party rock album from 1970’s!!

[@brianjones8751]

I wore out two 8 tracks in my '69 Charger

[@michaeljordan5131]

Once again, you gotta hear this on Foghat Live also. I'm telling you, the whole album is KILLER!!!

[@dmCurator]

That show was my 1st concert 🤘

[@LJA46]

Let's face it, the 70's produced most of the great live albums!

[@robertrohde4579]

100%!

[@arthurimhof2427]

This song probably has one of the greatest guitar riffs. They have always been one of the best rock bands of there day

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Wilburn must loved the Slow Ride sing....came back to this amazing group so fast.,

[@JerseyBA62]

foghat live is a perfect album.and angel of mercy is a great ballad

[@knuteboy3778]

Foghat were fantastic. Very underrated. Three of the four members came from a band that was part of the 1960's British blues craze, a band called Savoy Brown. They were fanatics of American blues and R&B. They cut their teeth on all that like a lot of young English musicians of that time, so they became really skilled at playing tight blues and boogie with that rockin' British edge. This song here was intended to be a bit of a tongue-in-cheek reversal of the typical song theme of getting tired of the city and moving out to the country.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

I didn't know that Foghat was descended from Savoy Brown! Good for them for breaking away and forming a "better" band. Savoy Brown was more for the deep blues fans.

[@KevinRCarr]

@@Alewifes_Husband They were a different band, they weren't a better band. They were great, but Savoy Brown's legacy is far broader and deeper. These fellows wouldn't have been as good as they were, if they'd never been in Kim Simmond's Savoy Brown Blues Band.

[@Brandi6666]

Who underated them? You?

[@richarddevine205]

Street Corner Talking is a pretty damn good album by Savoy Brown and in fact listened to the entire album this morning while having my coffee. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Foghat but I wouldn't say they were better than Savoy Brown. Not on their best day and Savoy Brown's worst.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@Alewifes_Husband I like Foghat, but NEVER would I ever call them a BETTER band, simply a different band. Both bands were excellent. Personally I prefer Savoy Brown, but that's just my opinion....

[@chrisredlich7075]

Foghat live is better then any studio album they have. It kills

[@allendixon7700]

I can tell you something else it was pretty popular back then and it is now too that's ya ON ETO KEI wonder

[@allendixon7700]

Speak in the album collections back in that day if you didn't have peter Peter Frampton frampton comes alive then you didn't have Jack s***

[@allendixon7700]

Do you feel like I do?

[@noheamike5036]

I used to play this song everytime coming home from college. It would have to be playing when Madison came into view for the first time.

[@joelliebler5690]

A classic rock sound with a touch of pop making it a commercial success!

[@rougarou722]

I saw Foghat in the early 70’s a couple times at my hometown recreation center. Rod Price said he loved coming to the bayou because of the people here.😁

[@gotrhythm1]

I was born in 1963 and I got to see and hear it ALL! I wouldn't trade that for the world!

[@VegasAlien1]

Just joined a longtime favorite local band in Bloomington, IL and we are opening our show with this on Saturday, then straight into Mississippi Queen by Mountain. It's a straightforward drum part at first glance, but all of the accents, turnarounds, breaks, hi-hat opens and such really need to be there, so I had to learn this from the ground up to make sure I got 'em all.

[@allendixon7700]

Fog hat did it they were they did the burn in the midnight oh I've did it myself though Hey Hey alright but the song is burning the midnight all Bixby fall cast

[@allendixon7700]

Do you know why I'll give you AFO GHA T?

[@allendixon7700]

AONEA1 toke 1 toke or 2 that 1 toke ON ETO KE1 toe

[@allendixon7700]

Bro or in Chipley Brewer and shipley that's the group they do a one toke they they got a song called 1 toke

[@allendixon7700]

But yeah when you got sticky stinky skunk buds 1 toke 1 toke will give you a fog hat

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Hands down my favorite Foghat song! Tempo, vocals, solos, funky bass break....love it all!!

[@michaelsmith5021]

They always put on a great show. No pyrotechnics crap, no big stage productions. Lights, Action and In Your Face Rock and Roll. Original Band was Fire.

[@TigerRogers0660]

Chod & Dee, what a band! SO glad you discovered them. They are brilliant ! You gotta discover more!! Stone Blue (album version), Midnight Madness, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Boogie Motel, Chataeu LaFitte '59 Boogie, My Babe, Golden Arrow, Drivin Wheel. And for a couple of brilliant more pop oriented tracks - Third Time Lucky & Stay With Me.

[@david1044]

Best show I ever saw, Foghat opened for Blie Oyster Cult. It was 4 hours of heaven.

[@tsheller03]

I got to see Foghat Live in 2007 with back stage pass because a friend lived beside the bass player and their sons played in a band together. They were awesome and so down to earth.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

I love it when the guitar sings the lyics........so damn cool

[@donaldromesburg1902]

Damn, I actually forgot how good these guys were . Underrated , thanks for playing

[@markoliver630]

I like it that you are getting into one of my old favorite bands ! Lonesome Dave was a real character. Great rock singer and writer. Check out the live video of driving wheel. Later in their career and shows the talent. Saw them several times back then.

[@kentnottingham9635]

Saw them live a number of times. Last time was at our Ginger Roger’s Cratererian theater in Medford Oregon. They were so loud, people were HIDING BEHIND THE SEATS!!! Lol

[@Galaxyman2903]

The original Foghat had two of the best guitarist in a band, with the late Lonesome Dave Peverett singer/guitarist and the late great Rod Price on lead guitar as one of the best and versatile on both standard lead guitar (like in this song) and was known as slide king of Rock & Roll on bottleneck slide. Today only drummer Roger Earl continues, but it's not the same. Their LIVE performances during the 70's were sensational. Which can be heard in their 1977 FOGHAT LIVE, and some videos I have from 1974 television performances on "In Concert" series.

[@martinlehotan8373]

Thanks for your reaction! Foghat Live is awesome. Another 70's band you would enjoy is Bad Company. Burnin' Sky is a masterpiece.

[@ronhunt9396]

My hippie years after my army years. Fortunately with today's technology you can still here the great oldies. If you were around then you'd be a baby boomer too. I'll be 74 onto the 27th

[@vicprovost2561]

Foghat was always around back in the70s & 80s, must have seen them at least 6 times, always on great, multi-band bills, sometimes the headliner, sometimes the support act but always giving 100 % every time. Lonesome Dave was dope, left us way too soon. Try Honey Hush for another great banger. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶 Also they came out of another great British 70s Blues-Rock Band, Savoy Brown. Check out Poor Girl from Looking In, Foghat is Kim Simmonds backing band back then...

[@dmCurator]

My first concert. 🤘

[@zenutopia2k708]

Enthusiastic appreciation for a great song. Love it. Liked & Subscribed.

[@marthayoung2308]

My very first live concert ever, was Styx, Foghat, and Head East! Got to see this song sung live! It was great. Fun fun fun! I know us "BOOMERS" on here won't ever steer you wrong, because we had the greatest music ever! In all categories! It was the best of such a great variety of music.

[@rhill49849]

No agenda just pure rock and roll. Get in the car crank up the Foghat!

[@RM-ks8pp]

Driving Wheel is another great track by these guys...

[@donstuard2546]

The very first concert I went to was Foghat and Montrose. This was on 11-04-1974. This was a 14th birthday present of me. I had just turned 14. I going to give you 2 songs off their other 1974 album, Rock and Roll Outlaws. Theu are Dreamer and Chateau L'Fite '59 Boogie. The latter is about an expensive wine. This is probably my favorite time period for music. I have not been the same since. Check these out, too.

[@allendixon7700]

Alone some Dave I tell you what they had some kind of band indeed

[@allendixon7700]

I was you know watching this said everything I'm calling was thinking about I'd just wanna make love to you that song I guess it's cause his lovely wife I guess?

[@allendixon7700]

I don't know if you know what a fog hat means or not but folk hat there's a meaning behind fog hat hay all day AO Ever hear of Aon ATO KE1 took?

[@allendixon7700]

Brewer and shipley Brewer Brewer and shipley that's the group that does the song 1TOKEON ATO KE1 top Brewer and shipley does the one talk

[@allendixon7700]

Fog hat themselves was suburban submidnight oil but I burned some midnight on myself but there's actually a song that fog had did cut burning the midnight all

[@TheGreatGig73]

They had their rehearsal studio in my hometown. Everyone always tried to catch them out and around. I ran into Lonesome Dave in 7-11 one day. Made my day.

[@laurakali6522]

Stone Blue, Third Time Lucky and My Babe.

[@jemogan]

Many of Foghat's most popular songs get well deserved recommendations, but I'd like to throw into the mix a couple of lesser known tunes that totally represent their sound, style and expertise. Try Jump That Train and Rock Your House - songs that typify the boogie dancing style that made Foghat's live shows so memorable. Side note - Fool For the City is one of the very few recordings they made where Rod Price, the lead guitar play, is NOT playing slide guitar.

[@jimhamilton331]

You reacted to Savoy Brown: Hell Bound train... the singer Lonesome Dave Peverette and Guitarest Rod Price were in SB. A good early Foghat before these two is Driving Wheel.

[@chrissimon9879]

Stone Blue (album version) will cement them even more as fave for both of you!!

[@spiritwalker497]

Been watching since episode 1 Great to see your finally strapped in the cockpit seat, and really enjoying the Circus Ride known as GOT just for the thrill of the ride. Keep going. Love you and Chad apologies for misspelling

[@sgt.blkdog3840]

My favorite by Foghat

[@Cashcrop54]

So many memories come flying back when I hear Foghat. They were one of those groups that were on the bill for any summer outdoor festival along with others like Blue Oyster Cult. They assaulted the crowd with guitars. Thanks for the memories!

[@williammuntzer7374]

Great reaction. This came out when I was 14. I think it was the second album I ever bought. I still have it. Great album.

[@kevincaulder96]

Chod. Been following the channel for a little while now. I think I have something to appeal to the funk, blues, soul, and the drummer in you. Plus, as a bonus, Der will love it too. Two songs. The first is BORN LOOSE by Rod Stewart. It's classic Rod. Down and dirty from the Footloose and Fancy Free album. Bug lots if fun. The studio version will turn you out. The second is from Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. The song is YOU GOT THE LOVE. I'm counting on Dee downloading this onto her phone. The beat. The funk. The message in the music. Enjoy

[@georgeacker5668]

They still tour, just saw them this past summer. The only original member left is Roger Earl on drums.

[@bradharmon6619]

"Third Time Lucky" is a good one.

[@robertfitterman3777]

Ah...Foghat!! Combination of boogie, blues, and hard rock. The Foghat Live album is a must as they are one of those better live bands. I have seen them live a few times and they really kick major bootie in person!! Another killer song by them is :I Just Want To Make Love To You, and also the title track for Stone Blue!

[@concernedcitizen-1958]

Hey Chod and Dee! Love your reactions and definitely love me some Foghat!! Check out Terraplane Blues on the Fool for the City album. Foghat is a happy groove vibe! ✌️ ☮️ ❤️

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Damn I still get those guitar solo goosebumps from this song. Edit... Gotta go get some stone blue now.

[@callfourzero1931]

There is an easily accessible "BBC Fool for the City" live studio version that's pure.

[@Gordy63]

Awesome, Awesome song! Classic band man. Got to love what they bring to the table. Love to see you giving them some love!! Another band that doesn’t get enough love is Bad Company. Please review Good Lovin’ Gone Bad. One of the best rock songs you’ve never heard. You won’t be disappointed!

[@honc420]

Bless you ❤

[@BryanNelson-o1c]

I seen them at river flats jam downtown Minnesota on a island on the Mississippi with Ted Nugent and Santa we were on a big house boat to watch the show

[@ranchyblues]

Saw them live in 74. My fav is Sarah Lee from the first album. Also check out dreamer.

[@zedcar7326]

Absolutely need to sample "Honey Hush" from their live album, with it's fast pace and ripping guitars. I would also strongly suggest listening to The Pat Travers band "Up all night".......

[@VIDSTORAGE]

I saw the original line up live and they killed it ..Check out Don't Run Me Down Drivin' Wheel My Babe Third Time Lucky

[@xtrmfc]

You gotta listen to Foghat “LIVE” .. This song IMO is Best on the Live album .. Especially Slow Ride with the Booming Drums .. all other versions pale in comparison.. Saw them Live a few times in the 70’s was never disappointed …

[@Cashcrop54]

Totally!

[@mikelundquist4596]

The term jive turkey is derogatory... means a chump or a fool.

[@Mottleydude1]

If you want to show your a fan of this band just buy a ball cap with the word “FOG” written on front. When any ask “What up wit dat?” You can tell them it’s your Foghat. I saw them in concert back in 1977 when I was in High School. So I bought a Foghat. None of my teachers got it. LOL

[@Roddeau1]

Like a few have mentioned...Foghat Live is must listen. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! 🤘

[@majorharper4087]

Maybelline by Foghat is amazing!

[@48mastadon]

Listen to Foghat Live. Front to back. Wait till you hear "Honey Hush" on that live album.

[@petahpunk]

It's like you are going through all my vinyl with your reactions! If you like Foghat, I think you would dig April Wine, check them out.

[@bruceschultz3121]

Jive Turkeys = "Striders," from where I'm from. In the argument for best short guitar solo from the '70's in my humble opinion... If you were at a basement kegger from that time, this song would be well represented

[@tommypauly3249]

Listen to the live album of 1977. They sound great in concert, Believe me!😉

[@davidcarpenter9020]

The drummer Rodger earl is way underrated and great band period

[@terencecampbell4770]

i always like to point out that Foghat recorded this album in my little hometown of Sharon Vermont-it didnt take them long to realize "they aint no Country Boys"-they went to our local store The Sharon Trading Post and told the store-keeper "we are in Foghat" and the storekeeper replied "youd be better off in a tuque round heah"😃

[@richardmeyer5615]

"Slipped, Tripped, fell in love"... Is song play next...

[@4tuneagent]

Please react to a tune from their underrated album Night Shift, from 1976, my first concert, they opened for Bob Seger.. Choose from " Driving Wheel", "Night Shift", "Burning the Midnight Oil", or " I'll Be Standing By"... Thanks!...

[@raulcardenas8115]

Ten years after Live. Im Coming Home. I'd Love to change the world. With Alkvin Lee in the line up

[@jimscheid5030]

YES! First your BOC deep dive and now you're into Foghat! Two absolute favorites way back when. Next try I Just Want to Make Love to You (live would be good), and Chateau Lafitte 59 Boogie

[@billhawkins1236]

👍👍👍🤠 Chod & Dee, I don't know if you've checked them out yet, but you need to do some J. Geils band, preferably live.

[@brianjones8751]

You could have seen them in Fresno in 1977, lol

[@Lovegun-w4s]

Glad you found them, this band rocks!!!!!

[@DeddyShack]

Boogie Motel and It Hurts Me Too(live)

[@tnottolini]

Their first two albums were the best.

[@junglejim5785]

All I need to do is get him alone alone that's a good song by heart heart doing alone

[@4ak458]

Suggested songs. Nightshift, drivin Wheel, my Baba, Chateau Lafeye 50 boogie, and Sweet Home Chicago the live version

[@hopeulikenudes]

[@allendixon7700]

[@markschwieterman2296]

[@waltw4537]

Got that Doobie Bros. vibe. Can't be bad!

[@allendixon7700]

Fog hat burn some midnight ohh we all do a barking today

[@allendixon7700]

But actually they do do a song cause they're burning the midnight oil that's my fog hat we've all burned at all before if you're a older person

Here's "I Just Want To Make Love TO you" - live. Fasten your seatbelt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCylamuib-Fhqc

[@sgt.blkdog3840]

Jive turkey isn’t exactly a term of endearment. At least it wasn’t back in my day.

[@joewiley62]

They do a cover of Chuck Berry's Maybalene that's a blow your socks off version......

[@allendixon7700]

Folk hat had some unreal band all of them but lost some Dave on the base out of mine Absolutely amazing on the base nobody could play a base like long some days

[@allendixon7700]

And I want to miss for some reason I keep thinking about the song I just wanna make love to you by fog hat I don't know why I guess Maybe just maybe the good looking dodes got over there?

[@Brandi6666]

Live🎉

[@richardvincelette9741]

You must check out, “I just wanna make love to you” it’s another great tune by Foghat

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Best cover of the Willie Dixon classic. 🤘🤘 Yes.They mow down mf-ers with that one.

[@carlwarrell3216]

" I Just Want To Make Love To You" and " Stoned Blue" for the next to song.

[@GeneralGeorgeS.PattonJr.]

Have you heard, “Chevrolet”, & “Stone Blue” by Foghat? Forgive me if you’ve done them, I just found Y’all.

[@albertzappa1994]

you haven't even played their best song yet called ( I Just Want to Make Love to You ) especially live.🎸🤘💚

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

The thing is they probably had maybe 8 tracks and no pitch correction...

[@kurthooker4370]

Hey Chod. If you like this song and Slow Ride, you should check out their biggest hit son..... I Just Wanna Make Love..... You won't be disappointed.

[@bertcardenas7807]

Next do "I Just Want to Make Love to You" off the Foghat Live album. They are better live!

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

Slow Ride got more airplay but I much prefer Fool’s uptempo jam. I just think it’s a better song overall.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Don't you think that it is time to introduce Dee Dee to a little more Yes songs???? It is your favorite band!!!!!

[@astonsfan]

Jive Turkey Song by Ohio Players..........

[@lucasnavajas4166]

Now do live slow ride from 77, since you reacted to the butchered version and still liked it. Also I just want to make love to you is a classic

[@botabob]

Have you all reacted to Nazareth yet?

[@kylewoolsey6635]

The drummer, Roger Earl, is still at it, keeping the name alive. I took my daughter to see the current lineup just before Thanksgiving, this year. It was a good time, and since the new slide guitarist started out in 70s band Wild Cherry we were treated to a version of Play that Funky Music White Boy.

[@allendixon7700]

Fog hat yeah Fog hat? Yeah they burned some midnight oil and I burnt some midnight all myself but that's a good song by fog hat burning the midnight off by fog hat

[@allendixon7700]

I'll tell you how you can get a fog hat you can do Aon ATO KE1 toke that'll give you a fog hat

[@allendixon7700]

ON ATO KE that's by Brewer and Chipotle that's the group Brewer and Chipotle they do a one toke
