foghat slow ride live 1978

jjajajajjaja

[@jimmyrose114]

R.I.P. Craig MacGregor who passed away yesterday from a long battle with cancer. Dave passed 18 years ago and Rod about 10 years ago. I knew all these guys personally and I can tell you they were the nicest most professional musicians I have ever met. They should have been as big or bigger than any of the monster bands from the 70's and 80's. These are 4 of the greatest musicians to ever play. See you guys on the other side.

[@nightflight2112]

I must have seen live at least 7 times. Best goddamn opening act of ALL time. RIP is right.

[@davidkemp444]

One of my favorites. I knew them (not personally) when they were Savoy Brown. Lonesome Dave was awesome and I can't walk down my basement stairs without thinking about Rod.

[@TheOlesarge]

This band should totally be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a joke that they're not.

You cannot do a classic rock compilation album without this song. THIS IS CLASSIC ROCK! At its finest. This song was playing in the background of EVERY SINGLE party i attended in the late 70's. Every doobie that was rolled and every kegger drained this song was blaring in the back ground. WHEN ROCK WAS ROCK

First rock album I bought as a kid. Still love this song! These guys were my idols! RIP Dave and Rod.

[@rastamanusa]

The band initially featured Dave Peverett ("Lonesome Dave") on guitar and vocal, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums. After leaving Savoy Brown in December 1970, they added Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar and formed Foghat in January 1971

[@tomwoliver]

This had Craig MacGregor on bass during this concert. He was on with them from Foghat Live on for several albums. RIP.

Killer pipes and a nasty tone. Dave always seemed to have a good time on stage, even when he was sick. Thanks for the memories..you are very much missed.

I had just finished my time in the army and was getting ready to leave Germany and come back home to Kentucky when this song was released and loved listening to it on the radio headphones on my flight back home!!! remember how cool the beat was and that slide guitar had to coolest sound...A truly awesome song that was and it DID relate to my flight home to..IT was a slow ride...8 hours long!!!That was ok though...I had a few of the drinks of the tiny bottles of jack on my way..LOL!Thks 4 this:-)

I say one of the greatest live bands ever. Wish this was a better quality so you could see how good they were

one of the best forgotten acts, ever. i opened for them a few times in the late 80's, when the drummer was the only one left from the original band, but they were still great with replacement parts, lol

Awesome Live Band......had the pleasure of seeing them 3 times 73, 74 & 75. Still one of the best bands of that era (in my opinion) & THAT covers ALOT of GREAT BANDS!

Rod Price. Genius. This band knows Rock N Roll. He is just playing slide guitar to get that full rich sound.

Sad that Rod Price passed away but his playing guitar will live on.

1978, I was 14, enjoying fine herb with a Foghat 8-Track playing this song, in a boat named "Slo-Ride" on Lake Texhoma. We went skiing while the folks went fishing. Then we had a giant fish fry with freshly caught striper and the most wonderful cornmeal batter...a big vat of oil on a tripod in front of the lakehouse with 20+ people as the sun slowly set. I can still feel the sunburn on my skin, sand in my cutoff Levi's and the smell of coconut oil on every beautiful female there. Those hot curls of fresh fish...still the benchmark I judge all fish by even today, some 45 years later. Yeah, I had some great summers growing up.
