The band formed with Dave Peverett on guitar and vocals, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums. Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar joined after parting ways with the Black Cat Bones in December 1970. Their success was mainly in the US, which is where the band relocated. The new line up was named “Foghat”, which was a nonsense word from a childhood game played by Peverett and his brother. Their 1972 album “Foghat” was produced by Dave Edmunds and had a cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want to Make Love to You” which earned itself a lot of airplay especially on the FM stations. Their sophomore self-titled album was released in March 1973 and known by fans as Rock and Roll because of its cover depicting a rock and bread roll. “Energized” was their third studio album, released in January 1974, and was certified as an RIAA Gold Record in the United States. They released an album every year for until “Return of the Boogie Men”, which was their thirteenth studio album. The 1980’s saw the band go through numerous line up changes, including founding member Dave Peverett leaving in 1984 and returning to England. He was replaced with Earl Burgeson. The band continued performing as Foghat into the early 1990s.
In 1993, due to a request of producer Rick Rubin, the original line-up reunited. Rubin ultimately proved to be unavailable to produce their comeback, the group went ahead to release “Return of the Boogie Men” and then a live album entitled “Road Cases” in 1998.
Tragically, the 2000s saw the deaths of the founding members, Dave Peverett and Rod Price. The 2010 version of Foghat consisted of Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Charlie Huhn, and Bryan Bassett. At a concert during the summer of 2010 former Rainbow and Black Sabbath drummer Bobby Rondinelli had temporarily replaced Roger Earl while Roger was recovering from surgery.
The band have never stopped touring and recording. They released a single on July 9th 2013 called “The Word of Rock n’ Roll” a Christmas song on November 5th 2013, and a DVD in December 2013.

Foghat is a British rock band from the 1970's. When I was a kid my dad would always play Foghat songs on the radio but I was never really able to grasp the concept of music at such a young age. Fast forward to my adult years and Im in love in with Foghat, its just too bad they reached their peak success while I was still a kid in the 1970's, although I was able to catch Foghat on a reunion tour later in the century, so I called my dad up and we enjoyed this experience together.
We finally get there and members Roger, Craig, Bryan and Charlie are out front signing autographs before the show. I thought this was an amazing thing to do and showed how humble and to their roots they are. When the show started they opened up with songs from their self titled 1972 album. A few songs into it they switched it up and began playing songs off their 1979 album Boogie motel which was nice. All in all it was good to see the boys back together doing what they love as they gave me a night I will never forget!
Every single time that Foghat came to Seattle in the 1970's I was there. Never was I disappointed, and never did they fail to impress new listeners with their unique music and on stage performances. I saw them again in the mid 80's in Spokane, and it was just as much fun as I remember. I got to meet the band members, and was invited in to the tour bus to see how they travel. I only had one of their cassette tapes(remember those???) with me in my purse at the time, and they all signed it for me. I still have that cassette tape!!! Not only do they play some great music, these are just a bunch of really great guys, who just happen to be great musicians passionate about their craft...and it shows. If you are thinking about going, stop thinking and just buy the tickets. Money well spent, I promise! I am taking my husband, and 2 of our good friends for their birthdays, so I know it will be a night to remember.

It was good to see the band Foghat again even though the original founding members were not all there due to certain circumstances but all in all it was a hell of a concert. Thank you Rancho Mirage for putting on this amazing event hope to see more in the near future and hope to see Foghat come back. Talked to Roger who said there were other albums in the works with some of the original Savoy Brown members can hardly wait to hear their new CD. Last time I saw Foghat was in 1976 at the Greek Theatre Thank you for the good times. Your fan Steve Andrade estevan_andrade@yahoo.com.

FogHat was killer! Had a great time as always. That made 9 times I have seen them. Started in the mid 70's and been rocking to them ever since. I'll drive 3 or 4 hours to see them. A class act FogHat is! After the show they autographed items for the fans. Not to many do that, right on FogHat!!!

These guys still have it. Great show in a great venue - made you feel as if they were playing in my living room. The guys in Foghat still play with passion and that makes you want to see them again and again. My daughter attended with me and she was very impressed and enjoyed the show.

No review but my late husband created the album cover for "Rock and Roll". He was even recognized for his rock and roll photo on the back of the album. It states "Robert Downey - A King". It would be great to go to their concert in A.C. and have them autograph the album.

Great show at the Magic City Casino. Highlights for me were favorites like 'Terraplane Blues' and 'Stone Blue'. Goes without saying that "Slowride" and "Fool for the City" were fantastic to listen to. Hope to see them again at Magic City soon.
