Letters From Fans

Hi, I've just found your Foghat Home Page. Fine!!! I'm a very big fan of Foghat and I have all their records without the two "Best Of" compilations and "Before Foghat Days" album. It's good that they are back in business. I think I am the only fan here in Finland. Nobody else knows anything about the band when I've asked if they heard Foghat's music. If you know when their new album is coming out, let me know. Thanks.

Great web page! I've been a foghat fan for over 20 years. The kids now, don't know what they're missing. After all these years of seeing Foghat at these huge concerts, I had the pleasure of seeing them in a small club in Poughkeepsie N.Y. in 1995. After the show, all of the band members stood around outside by the tour bus, talking with a handful of fans. They are just regular guys who like to rock & roll. I look forward to seeing them again whenever they come around to N.Y. again.

I have everything from Foghat through to Return Of The Boogie Men. Saw them on January 24th, 1990, at a club here in Salt Lake City. It kicked Ass! I was able to convert a lot of people at that show. Also saw them August 22, 1992 at a festival show called Livestock. Again that was here in Salt Lake City. There were about 40,000 people. They weren't as good as in the club, but they still rocked. They're the ones that got the girls to start taking their shirts off, so good job guys! And sorry if my attention wasn't completely focused on your show. Anyway, keep up the good work. Hope they make it this way soon. And by the way, my favorite album is Rock And Roll.

Our FOG hat is off to you for the way cool info ... Thanks for all your work. We saw the band at Pine Knob in Michigan on 6/30/96 and Michael McConnell hooked us up. He told us about your web site. Keep up the valuable work and thanks again...

Add August 31, 1996 to your concert list. They will play at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California. I just signed a contract for my band to open for their gig. I'm forty years old and remember quite fondly, rockin' to Foghat during high school. It's good to see that people have not forgotten Foghat. Keep up the bitchen web page!

Love your Foghat page. I've been a fan for about 7 years. I just turned 25 and hate the current top 40 crap. I will be seeing Foghat on Friday, July 12th, making that my second time. Possible plans to follow and see them again while they are in the neighborhood. I'll E-mail my thoughts and review of the show sometime after my ears stop ringing.

Hey Carl, great job on the page. I was talking to a friend, and he told me about it, so I checked it out. Very nice, keep up the great work! I'm also a Foghat fan, but kind of lost track of them lately. Good to hear they are still recording and touring. Seems to be the latest trend ... older groups getting back together. Checked out the Gorge concert series and there are a lot of reunion type concerts ... Styx, Kansas, REO, and a couple of others, its great!!! All the music from my "era." Again, great site!!!!

What a wonderful page! First Foghat album I purchased was Rock N Roll (or Rock and Biscuit as we called it). It's still great today and remains my Favorite! My first Foghat concert had to be 1973-74 along with Montrose and Aerosmith. Foghat blew them away! Anyway, so much for pleasent memories! I'm gonna chect your concert conection to see if the band is headed my way! Thanks again.

Thanks for putting this site together. I have enjoyed myself.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm so glad Dave & Co. are out touring. I REALLY look forward to the live CD & video next year. They completely knocked out Louisville a couple of weeks ago. Fantastic gig!!! Can you tell I'm a big fan?

Greetings From Boston! I just received confirmation that my band, 'El Camino' will be supporting Foghat at their October 9th, Boston appearance at Mama Kin's. Needless to say I am totally PUMPED. I am a Foghat fan and was planning to attend the show anyway. Imagine when I heard I would be sharing the stage with Lonesome Dave and the boys! Totally cool. I think anyone in the Boston area planning to see the show should come a little early. El Camino is the 2nd band on. I promise if you dig Foghat, you will love the All-American Rock & Roll swagger of El Camino. Sorry for the shameless plug, but such is the marketing phenom of the web. Check out the El Camino web site, it's linked to the Foghat Main Page. Thanks for a great site. FOGHAT RIPS!

Just discovered your Foghat web page, enjoyed reading your 'History Of The Band' very much. A few bits of info, for what they may be worth ... 'Fool for the City' was the first Foghat album to go platinum. Foghat Live went double platinum (I felt that it would right after we made it, and said as much to Foghat's manager, Tony Outeda. He didn't think so, and I said, "Then if I'm right, and it goes double, pay me a $25,000.00 bonus." It sure is nice to be right now and then.) In addition to the records you mentioned, I also produced 'Foghat Live', 'Girls To Chat And Boys to Bounce', 'In the Mood for Something Rude' and 'Return of the Boogie Men'. I also played bass on 'Girls To Chat' and 'In the Mood', though I never toured with the band again after leaving in 1976. Once again, good job on the page. They're a lovely bunch of lads, and it's nice to see them back on the scene. Regards,

I like your awesome Foghat page! In this day and age of alternarock, it's nice to see a homepage dedicated to one of the great power rock bands. I just bought four of their records this past weekend. Again, great page!

Just wanted to say that your Foghat page looks great. I'm a bass guitarist in The Taxidermists, and have been a fan of the band for about ten years now. We are a Wisconsin based band, and have played many Foghat tunes over the years. Keep up the good work on the page!

I just wanted you to know how much I liked the Foghat page. Fabulous piece of work! I can listen to most any kind of music, but prefer 70's rock and roll above all, so I list Foghat as one of my all time favorites. I saw them in Savannah, Georgia in 1980 (I think) on the Tight Shoes tour (still have the shirt). Whenever I talk to guys about concerts I've been to, I always mention that Foghat at one point in the show was down to the bassist and drummer on stage and STILL had me moving in my seat. Also, the version of Third Time Lucky, done by Lonesome Dave soloing on the electric piano was beautiful! Hopefully, I can see them again this year.

I love the fact that there is a FOGHAT page! You have done a GREAT job. One deserving of such a band. You should be proud! Keep up the good work!

Hello Carl, I don't think I have ever told you how much I enjoy your Foghat page. I think its great and I really think that Foghat deserves more credit than they get for being, in my opinion, the best rock and roll band there is. Keep doing a great job!

Hello! I'd like to thank your for your great page. I'm an "old" Brazilian Foghat's fan and finally I could see them playin' alive last year (Bainerd and Chicago). Man, it was great!!! I'd like to tell you that your page helped me a lot to program my trip to U.S.A. Thanks a lot!

Carl ... Just read your page on Foghat for the first time. I think it's great!!! I've been a fan of theirs for over twenty years!! I can't wait for this new tour with Steppenwolf!!! Wow, is all I can say to that. Thanks for this web site of Foghat, it brought back great memories for me. Keep up the good work!

Just discovered the Foghat site! Boy, what a blast from the past. I grew up listening to Foghat, they were my favorite, along with Rush. I still have a handful (4) of the old vinyl albums in my collection including Energized on 8-track (unfortunately no 8-track player). I think Rod Price is one of the most melodic guitar players around still today. Furthermore, no current pop guitar player today has reached or met his style and ear to produce a great guitar lead/solo. My all-timefavorite lead is on the tune "Take It Or Leave It." Just awesome control of feedback. Thanks, and best of luck.

Hi there! Great to see a Foghat site being established on the web! It is very informative, keep up the *good* work! Looking forward to the forthcoming live album already. Any chance to see it becoming a double CD? I still find "Live" much too short; I think it should have been massively upgraded for its CD release. I have been a Foghat fan for long and I have always been of the opinion their forte is their stage act, although I do like some of their studio albums a lot. There have been some just awesome shows around and I must say, I'm glad to have been able to see their shows several times.

Foghat Rocks! I just got Foghat's "Return Of The Boogie Men" last week, and I remembered how much I loved Foghat. I have been to your website 4 times now, and I have gotten a lot of good information. Foghat is one of the 70's bands that I missed seeing, but I plan on seeing them this time around if they come within 200 miles. I have most of their albums. With the newest one, I only have 2 more to get, and I WILL get them. Thank you for your website, I know it takes a lot of work. Rock On! Another Foghat Fan .....

I have really enjoyed your Foghat web site! I am fairly new on this internet stuff, and your page was one of the first ones I searched. We saw Foghat in 1975 at Murray, KY ..... 1981 in Nashville, TN ..... 1994 in Paducah, KY ..... and we'll see them again on 03-04-97 in Paducah. We learned of their latest stop in Paducah from your website. Their '94 concert in Paducah was great! We met the guys after the show. They autographed albums and old concert T-shirts for us, and let us take some great photos. I've enjoyed Foghat for many years! They play my kind of music, that down in the dirt rock & roll boogie-blues. Thank you. A faithful Foghat fan from Kentucky.

When I was stone blue, Foghat sure helped me through! Foghat continues to roll into Jersey occasionally to provide tight, hard, loud, boogie-ful medicine for myself and friends. It's nice to see so many great letters. I guess I'm probably classified as a perpetual fan of sorts, or something like that. Been there through all the thick and thin ... you all know what I'm talking about. The band is better than ever, and it's great news about yet another new release. I know my strung jammin' brother is looking forward to Rod's new video. Never could locate any video except a gig in Hollywood, CA that aired on Nickelodeon many years ago. Foghat (Dave, Roger, etc ...) are household words in my house and I can still hear the neighbors screaming to turn it down after 25 years. Just got AOL and what an incredible surprise to find the greatest band's web page. Many thanks for all your hard work! Hope to hear a couple tracks off the up-coming CD when the band comes to New Jersey in March '97.

I have seen Foghat many times in the last 7 years. I saw the lonesome Dave version in 1990, which was one of the best shows I ever saw. He played in a club in NYC for about 2 1/2 hours! I also saw Roger earl's version with Cartwright and MacGregor in 1991, which was also a great show. I've seen the reunited Foghat 3 times in the last 3 years at "Suntan Jam" in NJ ... "Tramps" in NYC ... and "Westbury Music Fair" on Long Island. All were great shows! I think Return Of The Boogie Men is a great album, but am looking forward to a new album ... hopefully in the near future.

FOGHAT FAN in UK (very limited internet access) wants to contact band and all involved and other fans. Have major Foghat/Savoy Brown collection. Contact Joe Geesin.

I'm glad there's a web page for the most underrated blues-rock band of all, Foghat. Since the first time I saw them in the mid '70s when they opened up for Steve Miller, I've been hooked. I saw the reunited band at Tramps in New York and they sounded as good as ever. I've got all the Bearsville Records, I've even got an album by The Black Cat Bones featuring a pre-Foghat Rod Price. Can't wait for the next record.

Greetings, glad to find your web page. Looking through the "Letters" section leaves me a little speechless, what can I add? Thanks & keep up the good work.

Hey , I just stumbled onto your page. Excellent information. I just saw Foghat at the Journey to the Glades show here in South Florida. For me, Foghat was the best act there, which included Steppenwolf, Pat Travers and others. It brought back memories of my very first concert in '76. Foghat and Wet Willie in a free concert here in Miami. I'll be heading to the store to pick up "Return Of The Boogie Men." Thanks!

Thanks a ton for the fantastic Foghat page! I've been a fan for the entire 25 years. There still hasn't been anyone like them. I've got all the stuff done up to the time Rod Price left, and now their new CD ... even most of the Savoy Brown records. Those were the days. If you don't have the new Savoy Brown CD "Bring it Home," check it out if you can ... it smokes. Thanks again for your efforts in putting this site together. You've made an aging fan very happy! I'll definitely be back.

Your Foghat webpage is fantastic! Clean, simple, well laid out, quick & easy loading graphics ... an inspiration to those of us still trying to crank out their own! I've been a fan of Foghat since I first heard "Slow Ride" cranked to the hilt on my car stereo! Glad to see they're making the rounds again. Keep up the great work, and thanks!

I am going to see the SummerDaze '97 tour at Westbury music fair on June 13th I am really looking forward to it. I haven't missed a Foghat concert yet that has come to the New York area. In '95 at suntan lake in N.J I saw Foghat play. The other bands that played that day were Bad Company, Ace Freley and Peter Wolf. Foghat blew them away!! ... even though Bad Company was pretty good. Also in '95 I saw Foghat play at Tramps in N.Y.C There were 2 opening bands but they were just local acts. Lonesome Dave mentioned that night that it had been a long time since the original line up had played in N.Y.C.!! I brought a friend of mine who had never seen Foghat before, and he was amazed how they jammed. In '96 I saw Foghat headline the godfathers of rock tour also at Westbury. The bands that played that night were Black Oak Arkansas, Iron Butterfly and Mountain. It was a great show, all four bands were fantastic!! The summer daze tour should also be great. I saw Pat Travers back in the late '70s. I saw B.O.C in the late '70s and early '80s, but I haven't seen Steppenwolf before, so it is going to be fun. Looking forward to the new live album and also the SummerDaze CD. Hopefully, they will be selling them at the show. Maybe I can even get an autograph! Hopefully my wife won't rush me out of the place.

Enjoyed the Foghat website. I just recently heard a KSHE DJ refer to "the late great Dave Peverett," and had to stop by to see if it could be true. These guys had a fresh, new sound when they arrived on the scene, and were the best at what they did. This news is sad but Lonesome Dave lives on. Dave was the face of Foghat, the focal point of their stage presence, in my opinion, and one of the best rock guitar slingers to strap on an axe. Rock on Lonesome Dave.
