FOGHAT Stone Blue

Stone Blue is the seventh studio album by English blues rock band Foghat, released in May 1978 on Bearsville Records. "Stone Blue" paired Foghat with producer Eddie Kramer, who had previously engineered recordings for Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Kramer and Foghat didn't collaborate smoothly, but the tension in the studio may have helped to give the album an added edge. Besides the title track (a Top 40 hit), "Stone Blue" contained a ferocious cover of Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago," reasserting the band's blues credentials.

Love that slide guitar, foghat rocks

[@dakotaescher1]

How this record wasn't #1 is beyond me.

[@keithfreeland2811]

Agree

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

One of my most favorite songs, it kicks ass.

[@RayBORON-kq2hl]

I was at this concert in Florida. They were really on it that night. Dave was the greatest! Blue Oyster Cult also. Whoever put this concert on here. Thank you!

[@highschoolbigshot]

If this was the concert in Lakeland 78 or 79 then I was there too

[@sweetsinnndy5201]

One of my 3 favorite songs of all time. Rod Price has to be the most underrated guitarist of all time, he was amazing.

[@lightningbrigade4722]

Love Foghat, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple (mark 2) and Asia. Great video!🎸

[@ctrlaltdel877]

I won this album from a call in contest back in 1978 from 99.5 KISS Rocks San Antonio, Texas. Still have the album.

[@abbiebeast]

Man I loved this band - used to crank weights listening to Foghat Live every day back in 1982-1985.

[@MrSmokeydog]

I truly miss Lonesome Dave and Rod Price. One of my best friends took his own life and it devastated me. And another friend said your too depressed lets go see a gig and snap you out of it.Well needless to say I was really Stone Blue and Foghat totally helped me through. Every time I here this song I feel I lived it. R.I.P . all of the friends and loved ones anyone has lost music like this can renew and restore your energy and help you deal with life.

[@theothertroll]

Your seriously fucked up -

[@keithcarman5381]

I lost one of my best friends Brad Delp a while back ...Every time I here the song FORPLAY/LONG TIME The line in that song "YOU'll FORGET ABOUT ME AFTER I'V BEEN GONE' R.I.P DAVE,ROD,AND BRAD ! You will be missed every day Keith

[@deancaron988]

Amen

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

They are a big part of rock history whether you like it or not.

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

You can never forget this band.

[@kardrumzcoursey9537]

My dad had this album back in the early 80's and me and my brother would listen to it over and over through his YAMAHA stereo system. This song was probably my favorite. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@theanswerisinthebackofyourhead]

Me and your dad may be the same age, I am 58 and my older brother of 5 yrs used to tune into don kirshners rock concert every Saturday night and foghat among many great talents of the mid 70s played that show, he also used to blast fool for the city album from 75 and foghat live from 77 was played lowd and they grew on me and I got a chance to see them in 83 and 93 in the Omni in Atlanta ga when they opened for triumph and in 93 when all 4 members re-united for the return of the boogymen tour

[@MrUltraworld]

My favorite Foghat record.

[@jesgarcia9556]

Foghat live album was a great album every song was beyond good it was great

[@coilmanjoe]

So true!

[@jamescravens8197]

I think it's One of the best live albums ever This bands extremely underrated

[@marty3888]

I agree with the comments below except for one thing: If foghat came out with a live album, I was sure it would be a double live album. this didn't have "my babe" or "Chatau 59 boogie," both of which were great live performances.

[@Lost-xl6im]

I use to drive around and listen to this on 8-track

[@JimmieLollis]

Foghat just kicked ass!

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

A great band like the others of the time, never discount them.

[@purplecow5150]

This song is so rock and roll 😊🤘

[@johnpowers656]

Hadn't heard Foghat in many years! Great classic rock performers!

[@scottdavis4335]

1978 memorial day weekend with Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow and Foghat as Headliner. What A Show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!‼

[@michaelzukowski5541]

Was that at Allentown fair grounds? Saw the same show

[@scottdavis4335]

@michaelzukowski5541 Yes the hounds from Chicago were first warmup band. They sucked

[@ronchiles399]

June 9, 1978 Syracuse. Great concert!!

[@jamesvasquez3872]

FOGHAT = So many memories............Thank you guys!!!!!!

[@jackfelenchak6122]

I never heard this version, love it. Great rock-n-roll music at the height of the disco era

[@daveyb5004]

Had the blue vinyl version. Need to look.

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

Great song, one of the faves.

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

I bought their music and will continue to. They are big and gave us memories just like all the other bands.

[@MrSHowVIdeo]

spetacular gig , sad we wont never see something like that live

[@michaelhull63]

Definitely Rock n Roll Hall of Fame material

[@Tommyr]

Great song, GREAT band!

[@luisalejandro276]

40 años de escuhar FOGHAT!

[@rickymathis4708]

This song brings back the good old days there anit nothing wrong with being stoned blue .

[@vegasplayer7387]

Fantastic! I saw this tour live (I believe it was 1981 with Blue Oyster Cult, although this was also broadcast as an MTV concert) and still think this is the best live version of "Stone Blue" ever!

[@marty3888]

Yes. I saw this tour too. It was in 1978. I them at Cobo in Detroit, before the album came out. I snuck a small cassette recorder in. This is so much better than the studio version

[@smrtfasizmu2743]

+marty3888 No men this is 1981

[@rizzlaxl]

This is not 78. Rod left after Tight Shoes. This is 1980/81 tour with the white back line.

[@jcb1623]

I saw this tour in 1981 in Syracuse. Blue Oyster Cults bus broke down and Foghat played for about 21/2 hours. They played one side of girls to chat and boys to bounce.

[@jcb1623]

Erik didn't join the band till '81.

[@MrLarrystaten]

WoW ! one of my fav's from 70's teen years ...

[@juliocesarpereira4325]

Thanks for posting! First Foghat's album I've ever listened and still my favorite. Tony Stevens, one of the best and most underrated bassists of rock 'n roll.

[@drpercussion1]

I was at this show....

[@bongvelasco9615]

i really love this band..are they still alive?

[@vernonjoiner4969]

In Memory of Lonesome Dave, Rod The Bottle, and Craig.

[@brandoncohen3160]

God that solo was so sick

[@alexmeboy]

My buddy Dave Bondi passed out with his head in a speaker at the Spectrum in Philly. 1986 ? maybe ? Foghat concert.

[@jimcoleman598]

and?

[@alexmeboy]

@@jimcoleman598 we lived. Rode home in the back of a F250 back to Lafayette Hill.

[@sgdeluxedoc]

You know, it's so strange.. back then a band that had been together for .. my god... 10 years! were Dino Saurs! But now, what I see is a band of barely out of their 20s young guys that haven't even been together for 10 years. It was only 10 years since Dave recorded "Looking In". And they're really tight as a band.. but they have absolutely NO stage show. Just 4 guys playing. I can't believe it was 30 years ago I sent in my demo to the *wrong* management company (I think) when there was TWO (!) Foghats. Dave's, and Roger's. Still have that demo..

[@johnreynolds8508]

Could not hear for 3 days,,,,,

[@drpercussion1]

Lonesome Dave was the greatest!

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

I think this is their best song, I am sure it doesn't get played on rock stations anymore, they only play what's popular instead of what's good. They will play some good stuff but overall they don't play the best stuff,KMET LOS ANGELES DID.

[@Hothero1980]

The was around the time of Girls to Chat, Boys to Bounce.

[@Nonconformistwilderbeastman]

Definitely earlier 80's alot of heavy bands were kinda going the new wave shorter hair then the 1970's head bands etc. And shorter songs. 70's foghat was more cool over all to me anyways

[@vernonjoiner4969]

Also in Memory of Erik.

[@jcb1623]

Marty this isn't the 1978 tour. Erik Cartwright didn't join the band until 1981.

[@rizzlaxl]

This is 1980 and that is Erik

[@jcb1623]

I think this is the MTV concert recorded in the fall of 1981. Erik joined the band earlier that year.

[@marty3888]

Yes I think this was the 1981 tour. I remember thje white stage. I had snuck a cassette taprecorder in a binocular case. I listened to it alot until some ass from work stole it. I saw them with Starz. After this song he said "thank you, alllright! That's a new song. Might be on our next album. A song called stone Blue. Here's one you know now." It was Drivin' wheel.

[@ryerob741]

this is post 1980...I saw Foghat July 8th 1980 with Pat Travers band at Cobo Arena and it was definitely Rod the Bottle Price playin guitar that night!!!!!!!!! coincidentally, this was the 3rd time I had seen them live in 1 of the "big houses" and in I believe 1997.... saw them in a popular rock bar in town the "Token Lounge" in Detroit area....and watched Rod play guitar standing 15 foot away....what a total trip.........Love that original Foghat format

[@Lost-xl6im]

Not Rod price on slide

[@anastasiapattison4393]

Rod Price ?

[@martyc2637]

No

[@thomasodetinape4180]

How in the name of all that is good and true did sorry ass rap noise replace this great music????😵

[@littlebuddyd]

Before there was Skinnard there was this.....................

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

Hopefully they didn't screw them out of the rock and roll hall of fame like they did with foreigner, ufo, and kansas.

[@smrtfasizmu2743]

Where is Rod Price??

[@sgdeluxedoc]

He'd already left the band. This must be after 1980 because that's Erik on slide. Good job sounding like Rod, too, although he had a great rockabilly style all his own as well..

[@rizzlaxl]

Yea this was 1980. I saw them twice on the East Coast with The Joe Perry Project and support. Erik did a great job and the records they recorded have grown on me over the years.

[@joerectifier]

Dave Peverett had a fucking voice on him….giminy cricket

[@theothertroll]

When I was blue, stone blue, rock N roll helped me poop

[@theanswerisinthebackofyourhead]

THIS IS A GREAT VERSION OF THIS SONG EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS.

[@MikeCopertino]

Where is Rod Price ?
