Foghat's Dave Peverett

Episode 6 of Tales of Fame and Fate. Lonesome Dave Peverett co-founder of Fog Hat.

First concert I ever saw was Foghat, right after the live album came out. I was around 18 and had no idea how much louder "live" was compared to a radio, it was incredible......Those guys just toured and toured, Dave just couldn't get enough of the lifestyle........ended up getting him, I guess The drummer is the only one still alive now. Driving Wheel is a hidden gem of a song.

[@neilreid2298]

Absolutely loved Foghat in the 70's. Met Dave and the band at a dinner club in San Ramon CA in the early 90's. Super nice guy as were each of the band members. Dave told me a story of the plane they called the Fogliner. RIP Dave- you were one heck of an entertainer.

Dave was a great guy and a superior musician. I saw Foghat in the late 1980s in a Bar. He was very accessible and friendly. After the first set he got some water at the bar and sat down at a table next to me. I said great show !!!!! He was very humble and said thanks. I noticed that he was wearing sparkle ✨ tennis shoes which he wore back in the 70s. I said you still wear the sparkle ✨ tennis shoes ? He laughed and said that's my trademark. I think Foghat didn't get the credit for being a true Rock and Roll band they deserve. They truly should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Blues bassed. In 2000 when I heard the news it was a heartbreaker. Always loved Foghat for sticking to true Rock and Roll. When you hear them there's no mistaking their sound. Truly an original sound.

Daves vocals were very unique. He had a wide range and power that came from the diaphragm, his voice was easily recognizable because he was in a class all by himself.

Saw them many times including the Eli’s Hard Rock show in the nineties that was featured on “Road Cases.” Foghat wiki says those shows were in the Roseland. Not true! Dave stood outside the bar for a couple hours after the show and chatted with a handful of fans, including me.

[@marcgrundfossen1350]

Caught them once in the eighties with Wishbone Ash as well, but it was mostly replacement players. Foghat without Lonesome Dave were imposters.

[@JoeyP322]

So young… so sad… loved “Fool for the City” and the live album. The music will live on for generations to come. That will never die.

[@flyboy7588]

I'll always remember the joy I felt when I would visit a record store back in the 70's and 80's and see that a new Foghat album was releases. Just a great band. Dave was a great musician and from what I hear a very nice human being. Married to the same woman for many many years. May he, Rod and Craig rest in peace. Nothing like driving on the NJ Parkway from the shore at 2AM, with my girlfriend sitting with her bare feet on the dash and Foghat blasting on the 8-track. Those were the days.

Tom Petty wrote a song titled "Lonesome Dave" and recorded it with the Heartbreakers in 1992. It ended up on the cutting room floor and wasn't released until the posthumous box set "Tom Petty: An American Treasure" in 2018. You can hear the song on KZbin. It absolutely rocks. Here are the lyrics: Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave? Used to play in a rock 'n' roll band He'd be up and on the stage All the kids would raise their hands But oh, then disco came Nothing lasts for long Oh, it's such a shame Lonesome Dave is gone Well, he'd be up there rockin' out Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year Lightnin' Boogie and Amy's Blues Play it so loud that it hurt my ears And oh, somethin' went wrong Yeah, the times have changed Now it's a different song Lonesome Dave is gone All right, Dave! Yeah! Well, three P.M. at the Holiday Inn The room service coming on a tray Tuna melt and an orange juice It was heaven there for Lonesome Dave But, oh, that disco came Oh, the times have changed Now it's a different song Lonesome Dave is gone Well, I wish I was Lonesome Dave I'd lay up with the girls all night I'd run round in the parking lot I'd drink some beer and get into fights But oh, it's only me Now it's a different song What will be, will be Lonesome Dave is gone All right, Dave Hang on, Dave, yeah! Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave? He used to play in a guitar band Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year God, I know, we all love him, man Yeah, and he'd go wild Yeah, the crowd would yell Time is moving on Lonesome Dave is gone Bye bye, Dave! Yeah Bye bye, Dave!

[@Don-md6wn]

Keyboard player Benmont Tench on the song Lonesome Dave: The subject of the song is, or was, a real guy. “Lonesome Dave Peverett was in Savoy Brown and then he was in a band called Foghat,” said Tench. “They were huge… They’d boogie all night, they had a private jet, they dated supermodels, they were all over the world - Foghat! Dave had recently passed away at this point. ‘Oh, the disco came / Oh, what will become of Lonesome Dave?’ If you can follow the lyric in this, it’s just fantastic. I think Tom wrote the lyrics before, because they’re so good. However, he may have written them on the spot, because they’re so good. I had walked into the room when Tom was [improvising] the lead vocal to ‘Free Fallin’,’ so I knew this guy could do write a lyric that blow your mind on the spot. Now, this isn’t ‘Free Fallin’ - this is Chuck Berry on acid. Because Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers could play Chuck Berry like nobody’s business. He was the best singer of Chuck Berry ever, and next to Chuck, he was the best writer of Chuck Berry ever. So this is a Chuck Berry song that Tom wrote.”

I always loved Foghat and I still do. My son and my husband, had a band and they were supposed to open for Foghat!! We were so excited to meet the band my husband, Craig and I had listened to for years, less than 2 weeks before the gig, we got the news Lonesome Dave was sick with cancer and Dr. Hook would be doing the show. Such sad news. So the Max Hendricks Band played at the Amphitheater, opening for Ray Sawyer, Dr. Hook and the medicine show. That was good. Not too long after that, we heard Lonesome Dave had passed away. I'm still listening to those songs and I always will. ❤ Such a raw, get down, gritty good music. I still love Savory Brown too!! ❤❤ He lives on.

[@slavedaver]

My very first concert was Foghat in 1981 at the Met Center in Bloomington, MN. Saw them a few more times in the 80's, but the best one was the last one with all four original members at the Town House in Springfield, MO in 1996. Definitely one of the best, if not the best live band I've ever seen. They even stuck around after the show to sign autographs and meet their fans. I had to quickly drive back to my apartment to get 'Rock and Roll' album for them to sign. All of them were very friendly and totally cool!

Foghat were a great band back in the days.... they were one of the hardest working bands on the road & they certainly paid their dues... they were always on the road which was why they were so great live... there were many many times where they would blow the headlining bands right off the stage until ultimately they became headliners themselves.... but they were great to see live....

I was a Lonesome Dave fan since the Savoy Brown days and was a Foghat fan the entirety of their "main" existence and love these little "factoid" pieces. Sadly, I must voice my complaint about the pronunciation of some of the members' names. Dave's name was Peverett, not Preverett and it was mispronounced five times in this mini-documentary. Come on man, if you can't at least get the people's names right, then get somebody who can. You talk about paying respects to the dearly departed but can't even get their names right. By the way, I just saw Roger Earl with the current version of Foghat at the Imperial Palace in Biloxi Mississippi and sadly, it's not the same. Was good, but not great. RIP, Lonesome Dave Peverett

[@cameronlondon5756]

When you said unrivaled it made me think of how Dave got that nickname, and I still don't know for sure how he did get that nickname but was just thinking it was quite likely because he was in a Class by Himself, with that guitar, that voice, and always so joyous and genuine and doing what he loved doing. Very talented. I certainly appreciated their hits on the radio back when I was growing up. I'm only regretting that I didn't actually see them live because for me loving all that classic rock and roll, Foghat would have been one of the best to see live.

Rock and Roll Outlaws was the first album I bought by them in 1975. After that, I went and seen them three different times, all at The Aragon Ballroom. If my memory is right, they were with Montrose each time. The Aragon Ballroom was the place to be in the 70's, a lot of really great bands played there. It was general admission and got the nickname, Aragon Brawlroom, because as soon as them doors flew open, it was off to the races. People were literally trampled but I don't remember anyone getting killed.

I kept begging my friend to get me down and i happen to look over at the roadie and he gave me a thumbs up. Lonesome Dave came over to me and said "put your finga right here" So I put my finger where he told me on the neck of the guitar and he Slayed Slow Ride!!! After a bit he shook my hand on stage.

Bingo! It was a nice tribute but hearing him call him Preverett was driving me crazy!

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

That’s because of his Boston brogue. It’s like telling an Australian they pronounce “car park” wrong because they drop their r’s 🙄

[@Tangento]

@@thescarletandgrey2505 However, one should never ADD an "r" where none ever existed!

Thank you for all the great music. RIP Dave and Rod. ✌️🎸😎

[@ranlitt3201]

After Stone Blue, that was it for me. Price quit and that was it. I never forgot they used to play in my home town at least 4 times a year. A great bass player on FFC imo. 👍

[@unclekennymusic]

We sure do miss Lonesome Dave... well done Ed, a fitting tribute to a great rock and roller who captured my attention big time, thanks for your work on this tribute I learned a few things, great job!!!

[@TalesofFameandFate]

Many thanks!

The "Fool for the City" cover concept Image was geneous - whomever came up with it was worth their weight in Gold literally

[@robertnagel3972]

Yeah I remember seeing that album cover when I was a kid, it made me laugh. It is one of the more memorable album covers

[@atomicwedgie8176]

My favorite Foghat song.

[@montygraham145]

I wad fortunate to open for them on the all original members tour in roanoke VA. Great guys. Major influence in playing and got to meet and tell them. Great memories to have.

[@markoliver630]

Lonesome Dave was a great Rock Star . Had the albums saw the shows. He was a lot of FUN !

[@MarkWoodChannel]

Have been jamming to Foghat since the 70s, saw them at the Toledo Speedway Jam in 1981 or 82 I forget, also saw them at a small venue in Western Ohio called the Carousel, iconic rock n roll that will never be repeated.

[@jimfinlaw4537]

Loved Lonesome Dave. He was a great leader of the band, fantastic musician and songwriter. Their Live album is truly one of the greatest collection of live recordings ever made. As for them being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I seriously think they really need to rename the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the "Music Hall of Fame" because some of the acts they have inducted here in the last few years have absolutely nothing to do with Rock and Roll. It really makes their museum look like a joke. The way they treat some of the artists they "honor" is appalling.

The line up of Rod Price, Roger Earl, Lonesome Dave Peverett, Craig MacGregor was the Best!!! Giving credit to 1st Bassist Tony Stevens from 1971-1975. FOGHAT LIVE 1977 was so popular in High School it was mention more than Kiss Alive.. Best Albums were Fool for the City, Energized, Night Shift, Foghat Live, Stone Blue, Return of the Boogie Men (just bringing the original back was Great).. ***RIP LONESOME DAVE PEVERETT + ROD PRICE + CRAIG MAC GREGOR*** Miss you Guys!!
