It's on the Stone Blue album...great tune, awesome intro

Still one of the absolute best line ups of Rock and Rollers in History. 500 years from now when someone asks 'What is a Rock band'? you could do no better then answer with the original FOGHAT. Jus' sayin'

Dave was very sick still battled on. Legend.

@7:04 "I believe, I believe my time ain't long. ..." Damn it, Lonesome Dave. I admire the genuine peace and happiness you exuded in this classic blues song performance. That’s all that matters. Thank you for Foghat and Savoy Brown. 😊

[@TheChef470]

I love this but it does bring me to tears. These guys were the real deal. Lonesome Dave was one of a kind......to me there is no Foghat without him.

It just hit me how his cool nickname could be from Lonesome Dove 🕊️. Hey I'm Slow with more than Rides 😂

great arrangement of the blues classic......never get tired of a smokin' slide guitar

[@thomasbroadhurst8938]

I've heard many versions of "Sweet Home Chicago", but this has always been my favorite!

[@donaldstevens2888]

I got to see them once long ago they had the bass player from Molly hatchet and they almost blew the Florida theater in Gainesville to pieces that night,it was an awesome show! I've seen many of the best guitar players live so I know just how amazing these two were

[@Peter-vn6gl]

Best band I ever seen live. And I've seen a helluva lot of rock in my years. They'll always hold a special place in my heart. Damn! I miss 'em!

[@zone4garlicfarm]

This isn't Foghat's best performance of this song.

[@motocommando2477]

@@zone4garlicfarm It doesn't have to be, it was live, and anything can happen live. In case you didn't notice, Lonesome Dave is looking pretty tired. That's because his life was ending due to cancer. He died in February of 2000, 5 short months later, just 56 years young. So, all in all, not bad for guy who just went through months of horrendous cancer treatments. Yes, he went on the road to give it his all, fighting the whole way. You may just want to cut him a little slack. I challenge someone half his age and in better shape to do as good. Rest In Peace Lonesome Dave, we miss you, and thanks for the music. ps, not calling you out. I just grew up with these guys and they meant a lot, and still do. Rock on!

[@4747robo]

Motocommando Thanks for clarifying that, every note Lonesome Dave sang tugged at my heart strings......

[@mickcarroll1274]

This is by far the best performance of this song by a Foghat lead and slide guitarist, featuring Bryan Bassett. Sorry but he far outpaced Rod Price and Erik Cartwright on this one.

[@undercrackers56]

Just found this. It is a very juicy version of Sweet Home Chicago. Love it.

[@Mick19541]

Awesome frontman...all the way to the end.

[@mrmarshmadness1]

Wow such a gutsy performance by Lonesome Dave! And nice slide work from Mr Bassett. Great job, guys!

One of the greatest live bands ever!! 👍👏👏👏🤠

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

Absolutely crazy! Even through his illness he was still rocking and sounding fantastic!! Still had to drive, still had the voice,and still had the guitar riffs going 100% Lonesome Dave will always be one of everyones favorite frontman of all time!

[@TheJthelen]

As a child of the 70s let me tell ya these cats always brought their A game . They belong in the rock and roll hall of fame

[@kevinmcgrath391]

You mean to tell me, this band is NOT in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame already..???!!!! That situation needs to be fixed immediately..!!!

[@Urbicide]

The R & R "Hall of Fame" is a big joke. So many incredible bands are completely ignored, & a lot of these never saw any serious air play. Many of the bands that have been inducted are not even rock & roll bands. A lot of the Hall inductees do seem to be more diversity-inclusive nominees rather than actually real rock & rollers. A lot of them do not even consider themselves rockers, & fall under a whole different genre of music. Foghat was a band that excelled playing in front of live audiences. I was blessed getting to see them in 1975 & two times in the 1990's. May Lonesome Dave & Rod Price both RIP.

[@robbobobbo5232]

Dave enjoying giving his best to us all near his end. A true STAR.

I've loved this band since I first heard them, fifty years ago, in 1973! Their love of the blues shines though. Rest in peace, Dave and Rod.

They must have been sweeping jaws off the floor after this one. What a superb performance.

[@05645ci]

Ahh, Foghat...summer of 73 Fayetteville jam and they come on with Road Fever and I Just Want To Make To You, Dave and Rod resplendent in their white suits, Tony and Roger just driving the best straight ahead rock n roll band in the world for a while there. By the time they encored with Maybelline I was screaming from the light tower in sheer delight. The headliner was Santana. Carlos and the band were amazing, but Foghat stole the show from everybody that day, and many others. Viva Foghat!

[@gregorymarsh7370]

Not Rod.Dave Barrett.

[@johnchristian1545]

@@gregorymarsh7370 you probably mean Bryan Bassett. However, Rod Price played with Foghat in 1999 still. That was the same year Bryan Bassett joined. I believe this is Rod Price. The two look similar. I love Foghat and have seen them live since 1973. They were a major influence in my music.

[@livinginthebaycalifornia]

The consummate performer. Died way too soon. He was so sick there and still delivered the goods. RIP Lonesome Dave...

Same. He's doing real good but you can see he's starting to fade away it's sad it just shows to go with that we go we do something he did something

[@giftedplanksify]

I never got into this song until now! I seen Foghat twice! One of the last times I danced ( with a beautiful blonde from Texas)

[@Texama57]

This was one of the best shows that I ever got to attend, I worked at UofHouston abouty 2 or 3 miles from this place and I would dash down there after work, by the time I got to this one there were SO many people there and didn't get my usual spot up close to the stage, but it was fantastic from where ever you got to see it from. Dave had on his bright yellow suit and he had dropped the coat by the time they go to this song. YOu can dig around on youtube and you'll eventually find the whole show, great memories of when I lived in Houston.

[@terrymartin4329]

Lonesome Dave A bloody legend.

[@CatsandJP]

My absolute favourite rendition of this song. When 3 guitars do all the talkin and the fingers do the walkin …….RIP Lonesome Dave and Rod The Bottle ❤️❤️🎶🎶💯💯

[@SIXSTRING63]

Sad, Dave looked so sick here. Band had some hard luck. Dave and Rod passed away and now one of their former bass players Jeff Howell passed last week. I had the privilege of playing in a band with Jeff for 2 years 20 years ago. We used to cover a lot of Foghat and Savoy Brown stuff. I played slide decent so Jeff liked having me in the band. He always used to say you'd make Rod Price smile with that solo. I doubt it, as I saw Rod and Dave in the late 70;s and early 80's. They were a force on guitars.

[@ChuckieInMT]

Nice job of Bryan Bassett picking up where Rod left off, too... Bless Dave and Rod's family, as they recover from losing them, as they both left quite the mark on this world...

[@mr.d.4175]

@Grover Baker Me too. I saw Savoy Brown in Chicago as backup to Deep Purple. A few years later I saw Foghat at the Aragon Ballroom with Montrose and Black Oak Arkansas. They both still sound great.

[@suntzu5836]

THAT ....Is how you play the "Slide" guitar......😌💯❤‍🔥💥💯✌

[@davidmitchell1239]

I just turned 60 on 20 nov 23. Growing up, I only knew of 3 Foghat songs, Slow Ride, Fool for the City and I just want to make love to you. Because all I really had was the radio, I never thought any of their other songs were worthy to spend my money on…..well, it took me 40 years, but I finally arrived, a little late, but here nevertheless. I have really been missing out. I know a lot of people think that Duane Allmam was the best slide player, but I think Rod earned that title.

[@bobdixon4998]

Im so thankful to them for great music! And for my favorite Saralee!!! My Buddy grew up in Tampa and knew a lot of good music like myself, but when he heard Saralee that became his favorite, and he was 60 at the time. I couldn't believe with all the other great music he knew he didn't know that one!
