LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-AUGUST 22, 2019-IT WAS ON THIS DATE IN 1980 FOGHAT ROCKED THE OAKLAND ARENA. I USED TO LOVE FOGHAT. THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF FOGHAT ARE ALL BRITISH. IRONICALLY, THE GROUP NEVER CHARTED IN ENGLAND, BUT ENJOYED ALL OF THEIR SUCCESS IN NORTH AMERICA. FOGHAT ENJOYED GREAT COMMERCIAL SUCCESS, RACKING UP 8 GOLD RECORDS, ONE PLATINUM, AND ONE DOUBLE PLATINUM ALBUM. THE CREME DE LA CREME WAS DEFINITELY THE ALBUM ‘FOOL FOR THE CITY’ WHICH BOASTED THE ANTHEM ‘SLOW RIDE.’
HERE WAS THE SETLIST FROM THE SHOW IN OAKLAND:
Stone Blue
My Babe
Eight Days on the Road
Wide Boy
Fool for the City
Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool)
Honey Hush
Live Now Pay Later
Slow Ride
I Just Want to Make Love to You
THIS IS A TREAT ! HERE’S FOGHAT FROM 1974
