There are some bands that can replace key members and continue on as if nothing happened. Foghat in my opinion is not one of those. Lonesome Dave and Rod Price gave Foghat that signature sound. They are sorely missed. Dave told them to continue after he passed however and Roger has recruited new guitars and vocals. I will give them allot of credit, these guys rock and do a great job with all of the material. I just can't help but feel that I am listening to a cover band though. With that said, the current incarnation of Foghat does rock and this live CD won't disappoint.

Rowdy, heavy, loud, bluesy jams with duelling slide guitars...just like a live Foghat show should sound. This band has had many lineup changes over the years, but to me that signature sound is still there. There is a live show plus six studio tracks, and they all rock. This is the most I've enjoyed a new release in a long time. Highly recommended.

The new Foghat Live cd is outstanding, its over 2 hours long. I know it doesn't have Dave and Rod on the cd but Charlie Huhn and Bryan Bassett really keep the Foghat tradition of great Rock and Roll going...I have seen the new version of Foghat live in concert many times in the last 7 years and you won't be disapointed....

Even though Foghat's long-time lead singer and lead guitarist (Lonesome Dave Peverett and Rod Price) are deceased, Charlie Huhn and Bryan Bassett do a fantastic job of taking their places. This version of Foghat (including original drummer Roger Earl and long-time bassist Craig MacGregor) is a tight, rocking, great-sounding band that Lonesome Dave and Rod would be very proud of.

Foghat Live II is a good album, with nice production and excellent tunes. My only wish is that they mixed the crowd noise into the sound a little more, like was done on Foghat Live (which was released in '77). Still, it's a great album that you lovers of Foghat, Pat Travers, and the like will enjoy.

I've seen this version of Foghat in concert a few times recently, and I wish that they could capture their live sound better on this album. Seeing them perform in person is a great experience that can't be captured on a CD.

If you get the chance, see Foghat live if they're playing in your area, because these guys are FANTASTIC in concert. They can still kick it very well despite having a few gray hairs!!

True, only one original member. But the band carries on with the memories of Dave, Rod & Tony firmly entrenched in their playing and attitude. This 2 cd set rocks as well as rolls start to finish. The band is tight as the original Foghat ever was. A band that marches on with the blessing of the great Lonesome Dave.
The sound quality, mix and overall production is top rate. As a fan of the band well back into it's Savoy Brown days, I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled by this purchase. It has been in my car cd player for weeks now. The band seems to be having a sh%tload of fun and the audience can feel their energy. If you are a long time Foghat fan (like me), you know the songs, you know the history of the band, you know the legacy, but you don't know how good this album really is. Highly recommeded!

I BOUGHT IT AS SOON AS IT CAME OUT,IT IS A GREAT LIVE CD,THE SELECTIONS ARE GREAT,I JUST SEEN THEM IN CONCERT,AND IT WAS A GREAT SHOW,GOT THEM TO SIGN THE CD,JUST KEEP ROCKING/

This one is just as good if not better than the original "Foghat Live". The band is truly on fire for this set. Even the bonus rehearsal tracks are excellent. This one is a must for all the fans of the Hat and true rock and roll.

CD espetacular, excelente qualidade de som. Esperamos anciosos por um DVD com esse profissionalismo que a banda apresenta. Felizmente eles resolveram voltar com a banda que foi um ícone dos anos 70', presença marcante na Radio Eldorado (Eldo Pop).

This CD is a disgrace and a lame attempt to cash in on the success of Foghat Live, one of the great live rock and roll albums. For those who are not aware, there are virtually no original members left in this band. Leader/singer/songwriter Lonesome Dave has sadly passed on. Give it a rest, please. I would recommend the original Foghat Live wholeheartedly.

LIVE II is yet another great live Foghat CD. While it's true to say that singer Dave Peverett and guitarist Rod Price can never truly be replaced, sole remaining original member Roger Earl gave it a good try by bringing in Charlie Huhn and Bryan Bassett, both of whom, like Earl, advocate sanctions against Indonesia in retaliation for that country's trumped-up 2005 drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, as well as increased funding for law enforcement, making this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
