It’s a night of classic hard rock featuring such guitar-driven favorites as “Slow Ride,” “Fool for the City,” “Third Time Lucky” and “I Just Want To Make Love To You.”Foghat began their career in 1971 as a bunch of rather unpretentious young Brits with an affection for American blues and '50s rock 'n' roll. By the middle of the decade, they had evolved into a major touring and recording act, playing a pumped-up brand of boogie-rock to arena-size audiences. Their looks grew flashier, their sound fattened and filled out, yet the roots-rock core of the band remained ever-present under the surface.
From the viewpoint of certain critics, Foghat unduly compromised their early blues-based approach in order to reap commercial rewards. Certainly, their mid-'70s hits ("Slow Ride," "Drivin' Wheel," "Stone Blue") were not aimed at the rock purists of the world. Fogohat Live with their biggest album release. Other hits include “Fool for the City,” “Third Time Lucky” and “I Just Want To Make Love To You.”
The current lineup includes one original member, Roger Earl. Current lead singer Charlie Huhn previously was with Ted Nugent and Humble Pie.
