Sunday - November 3rd ..... Evergreen Ballroom ..... Olympia, WA (Last show of the tour.)
Great show! A good crowd really has an input into the show. Rod outdid himself again (my wife was a bit worried when I got home and stated that if Rod started a cult, I'd join). Watching Rod made me wonder if a glass slide _could_ catch fire? This show included the best version of Honey Hush I think I've ever seen (and I can't recall a Foghat show without Honey Hush). Carl (your webmaster) even opined this version was better than the Portland live album version. There was a problem with the amps during Going to Louisianna (namely: half of them died along with the microphones). Dave was hilarious when he did his pantomime super-guitarist with no amp routine (picture your best air guitar impression when you were younger and you're close). Play List: Going To Louisianna, Driving Wheel, Soakin' the Bone, Stone Blue, It's Too Late, Honey Hush, It Hurts Me Too, Sweet Home Chicago, I Just Want To Make Love To You. Encore: Chevrolet, Fool for the City, Slow Ride.
Thank you Foghat, for this tour. I caught you three times and enjoyed every show. We look forward to the video and the live album (please don't short change us again with another single album though!). Hurry up with your (well earned) hiatus guys ... we'll be here for the next tour.

Monday - December 30th ..... Triple A Bar ..... Baton Rouge, LA
I have seen Foghat dozens of times from the early days to now. The band has
not missed a beat. They rocked the crowd out to a number of good songs. Rod
Price and Lonesome Dave work masterfully together on guitar. In my opinion,
Rod Price is the best slide guitar player there is. Tony and Roger sound
great too. After the show, I got to meet them and got some albums autographed. These guys are the greatest. Lonesome Dave rules! Keep on rocking.
