Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
A trouper till the end, the late Lonesome Dave Peverett went out like a true bluesman, with guitar in hand, touring with his beloved band, Foghat. This DVD documents one of the last performances of the legendary original Foghat line up of Dave, Rod Price, Roger Earl, and Tony Stevens that toured almost constantly through the 1970s and 1980s, ripping through all their signature hits like "I Just Want to Make Love to You," "Slow Ride," and "Fool For the City." Amazingly, even as a century ended and another began, the band's and especially Dave's passion for the music never waned and the concert captured on tape is as fitting a tribute as any to the enduring Foghat legacy. But anyone who lingers a second after the final encore, will experience another powerful tribute, with the stark and poignant photo montage that closes the program, set to one of Dave's most beautiful melodies, "Angel of Mercy." Whether you're a lifelong fan of the band, or simply a connoisseur of the finest in blues/rock, it will be an experience to treasure. As is this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ORIGINAL BOOGIE BAND!!!, May 25, 2003

By	Robin L. Wever (sweetwater, tennessee United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No its not Savoy Brown-its Foghat!The great band that evolved from Savoy Brown.This DVD shows the band at an outdoor venue not that many years ago.The band itself was in the 50-somethings age bracket and STILL rocking.A plus is this is the original lineup of Dave,Rod,Tony and Roger.Anyone who enjoyed their music will be very impressed of the memories that it will bring(as well as a dynamite show).I was never fortunate enough to see them in person as the headline act but wittnessed several of the early shows.This was the time they were tabbed the "warm-up"band.All I know is I do not remember any of the headliners when Foghat played.But I remember Foghat very well.They were in the same category Montrose was in during the early seventies-they knew how to rock-and did.Foghat was the type of group that served notice to everyone else playing on the same bill(you better bring your A game tonight or you'll be blown off the srage).The DVD is relatively short but as the saying goes"you can choose quantity or quality".When you see the band on the DVD don't let father times aging of the guys fool you.They got it and they know it.Sad to say this was one of Lonesome Dave Peveretts last shows as he eventually lost his battle with cancer.Unfortunately,us forty-somethings are losing some of our favorites in the rock world but DVDs like this allows us to hang on to a part of them.So bittersweet in that I highly recomend this to any rock and all Foghat fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show at a great price, November 26, 2001

By	Richard Dunn (bellerose, new york USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This 10 song concert was recorded in Dayton Ohio in 1997 with all original members is outstanding, It has 2 more bonus songs one "angel of mercy" is a tribute to the late Lonesome Dave, the other is an acoustic song "leavin' again" which is played over the closing credits, It also has a band biography and a band photo gallery, this DVD like the cd version "Extended Versions" is outstanding and well worth the low price.....Rich Dunn

5.0 out of 5 stars When Foghat Was Real, May 30, 2004

By	M. Alley "EVOCDude" (Dutch Flat, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was Stone Blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.

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.
