Customer Reviews of Foghat Live - Two Centuries of Boogie

Boys and Girls, here is the Real Deal. The original members of Foghat playing their hearts out for one and all. From the opening of Louisiana Blues (from their studio album Return of the Boogie Men, 1994), you can clearly see that Foghat laid bare their souls for this concert and, unfortunately, were not responded in kind by the audience. Except for a few keen fans in front, I was disappointed by the general reaction of this venue. The performance clearly exceeded the capabilities of the audience.

No one in the team of Foghat disappointed. I read a prior review which indicated someone was dissatisfied with the length of the DVD. Well guess what. It was just right.

Except for a select few video mobile unit goofs, this was a wonderful concert captured live, with a wonderful display of the true talents of Foghat. Lonesome Dave never sounded better, Rod never ran his slide better, Tony drove the beat and Roger provided the necessary backbone.

Foghat was up to the venue. Only the audience disappointed. In their 50s, Foghat gave their all for the crowd. My hat is off to Lonesome Dave Peverett, Rod Price, Tony Stevens and Roger Earl for their fabulous performance. The sound, when cranked up on my own home system, was spectacular.

I've gotten wider and older and more cirsumspect. Foghat has, somehow, remained the same. Their sound was, during this concert, as it was then. If you want to remember this group, remember it via this DVD.

I absolutely must provide it with 5 stars. They simply played their hearts out for me.

GREAT BAND- GREAT DVD- GREAT PRICE!!!
THIS WAS ONE OF FOGHAT'S LAST PERFORMANCES AND I MUST LET YOU KNOW THAT THE BAND WAS ROCKIN' OUT LIKE THEY HAD BEEN FOR MANY YEARS.
THIS DVD IS A TRIBUTE TO LONESOME DAVE, THE BAND'S LEAD GUITARIST AND VOCALIST.
THIS DVD HELPS US TO BETTER APPRECIATE THE MAN AND THE BAND THAT TOOK US ALL ON A "SLOW RIDE."
THE CLOSING SEQUENCE FEATURES THE SONG ANGEL OF MERCY, ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN.
THE DVD HAS GREAT SOUND QUALITY AND MOST FANS OF THE GROUP SHOULD ENJOY THIS DVD!!

Lonesome Dave Was Foghat & Savoy Brown!
Though they don't look the same as the cover of their debut album "Foghat" these guys still kick out the jams. This dvd features the original line-up with "Lonesome Dave" Peverett at the helm.
All I have to say is Lonesome Dave was (and is in the hearts of 70's rockers everywhere) one of the great unsung blues rockers. While bands like the Rolling Stones prance on stage and barely break a sweat, cashing in big-time on past glory, Foghat is sweating it out giving it 125%. Peverett sings his heart out (its fitting with Dave's little dig on the Stones near the end of the disc). The band really shifts into high gear when Rod Price puts down the slide guitar in favor of his Stratocaster and the band breaks into "I Just Wanna Make Love To You". The twin guitar intro is still one of the best air guitar work-outs ever.
It is really difficult to watch this, however, realizing that Peverett is passed on to a better place. But if you reflect on all the great songs he wrote, all the great albums he played on (Savoy Brown included), his legacy is secure in my opinion. My only negatives regarding the disc (and this is nit-picking, but knocked the dvd down to 4 stars) is too much slide guitar from Rod Price and the running time is a little short. Rod Price is a killer lead player, but only puts down the eventually grating slide guitar on a few tracks (same beef with "Return Of The Boogie Men"). But if you ever were or still are a Foghat fan.....if you want to reflect on your "dazed & confused" teen years, you owe yourself this dvd no questions asked.
