Album Description

This album is recommended OVER "Foghat Live"

Foghat Live is absolutely one of the quintessential live albums of all time. HOWEVER, this King Biscuit disc includes all of the songs on Live (except one), with the recorded performances being as good or better ... AND ... you get a lot more material. The original live album is a little short, while the King Biscuit disc makes this the perfect album to complete your Foghat requirement (only the hardcore need to go off and re-buy all the studio albums).

Bottom line: A great album that even exceeds the formidable 'Live' album released so long ago. Get it. April 21, 2008

Great Live Foghat

Although 1977's FOGHAT LIVE remains the definitive live document of Foghat, this CD is also exceptional. It features shows from 1974 and 1976, plus an interview with the band. You must add this album to your Foghat library if you haven't already done so. September 10, 2005

Foghat - 'King Biscuit Flower Hour' (King Biscuit)

A true hard rock classic!Recorded live sometime in 1976 plus with a couple of tracks from 1974.Great sound quality.You cannot go wrong here.So many memories were made with these songs(and kids,too)I'm sure.Tracks you'll most likely find yourself playing over until your CD player requires a good cleaning are the scorching opener "Fool For The City","My Babe",the ten-minute "Slow Ride","Eight Days On The Road" and "I Just Want To Make Love To You".Plus,the nine-minute interview is interesting to check out.

Awesome stuff. Slow Ride alone makes it worthwhile.

Foghat's King Biscuit Flower Hour release should definitely be anyone's live Foghat CD of choice. It's an awesome show, and the band is on fire. The highlights of this CD are awesome, killer versions of Slow Ride and I Just Want To Make Love To You, both clocking in at over ten minutes. Rod Price's slide guitar on these songs is just amazing. Sound quality is very good and there are informative liner notes. This is definitely worth owning for fans of the group or hard rock/blues rock in general. January 30, 2003

SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the "Live" album!

First of all I have to say that FOGHAT was an excellent band (studio AND live) in the 70's, and I'm right sick of hearing about how they were just some "arena" act. This band knew the blues to it's CORE! FOGHAT took the blues to it's hard rock peak and should be recognized as one of the great rock bands of all time. I also believe that ROD PRICE is the most underrated & under appreciated SLIDE guitar player in the history of rock n roll.

Of course their live shows were awesome and full of energy. After 20+ years of living with the sterile, commercially restrained "LIVE" album from 1977, this KING BISCUIT live cd came as a GODSEND to the people who know what this band was REALLY like, in a live setting!

The CD features 6 tracks from the NIGHT SHIFT tour of 1976, plus 3 ESSENTIAL live versions of "HOME IN MY HAND", "EIGHT DAYS ON THE ROAD" and "I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU" from 1974. The latter featuring a rave-up intro by Lonesome Dave. It includes a line that you'd NEVER hear on the "commercially safe" LIVE album; goes a little something like.. "I Don't want your money, no I don't want your money... I SAID I DON'T WANT YOUR F*#!*&! MONEY!!( The "Live" album leaves out the F*#!*&!) The inclusion of the "F*#!*&!" just adds a little passion and "arse kickin" attitude into an already GREAT live CD.

There's also the bonus interview track; a portion of an interview with Lonesome Dave concerning Foghat's approach to their live shows. The track is 9 1/2 minutes long, but because of Dave's slow explanation, he only hits on about 3 or 4 points. It's still a somewhat interesting interview though and it's always great to hear insight from the artist.

Overall, this is an OUTSTANDING live release. If you're a FOGHAT fan, RUN don't WALK to buy this CD! Trust me, you've been waitng nearly 24 years to own a REAL live album from this excellent band.

I wish that there was a "part two" available that featured other great FOGHAT songs like the foot stomping "TERRAPLANE BLUES", "HIGHWAY (KILLING ME)" or "MAYBELLINE", which is the best send up of the Chuck Berry classic ever put to tape.

p.s Someone below stated that FOGHAT was "THE" live attraction of 1976. Although I definately think they were one of the very best, I believe that KISS would more accurately hold that title. March 25, 2001
