| | |  | BLUES ROCK | Home » » » Foghat & Guests: Blues Tribute | | | | | | | Description: | | Great, classic blues and r&b artists - from Muddy Waters to Paul Butterfield to Otis Blackwell - join the benchmark British rock band Foghat for a one-night-only show at New York's fabled Palladium in 1978. Foghat (known for huge 1970's hits like `Slow Ride') opens the proceedings with its trademark searing, proto-metal blues, on Robert Johnson's `Sweet Home Chicago' and Elmore James's `It Hurts Me Too.' Dave `Honeyboy' Edwards, Eddie `Bluesman' Kirkland, John Lee Hooker, and Otis Blackwell give a primer in low-down blues roots. Then U.S. revivalists Paul Butterfield and Johnny Winter blow the doors off. And the amazing Muddy Water brings down the house with `Hoochie Coochie Man' - with the whole ensemble getting together for a powerful, throbbing `I Just Want To Make Love to You.' Blues at its best - and a night to remember. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

foghat and their heroesDec 11, 2008
By Henry Perkins
I have all of Foghat's music. They were a rocking band.This video shows them playing with their heroes.The color quality isn't the greatest,but it was shot in 1978 on film,however,the concert is great and I loved every minute of it. It shows a day in history that won't be repeated.

Foghat And GuestsAug 26, 2009
By Kevin F. Dupre
Not only does Foghat give props to all the great blues greats that appear on the DVD (Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Paul Butterfield, etc...) but they are having a blast playing with them. This is a great DVD for Foghat fans and fans of the blues.

Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, '78Jun 10, 2010
By Mick Carroll
"rock critic"
This DVD is one of the few releases from the Don Kirshner's Rock Concert television series. It finds Foghat hosting a tribute to blues greats at a sold out theater in NY. While the quality isn't the greatest, if you're into vintage Foghat, this is it. This features not only Foghat but other great blues artists, as well. Too bad all of Foghat's performances on Don Kirshner's aren't available. They're out there because clips can be found on youtube.

Great performance, so-so videoAug 21, 2011
By J. Pearson
Performances by all are fantastic, great concept of one of the world's top bands (at the time) playing with some of the great bluesmen while they were still alive. The performances themselves are 5 stars.
Audio and video are very so-so, there doesn't seem to have been any effort to clean them up. I had no problems viewing or listening, but the quality is no better than a typical youtube video recorded straight off the TV, so the video is sort of washed out and the audio is somewhat muddy (like a decent audience bootleg). It would've been great to have seen & heard this fully restored, even moreso if other songs from the evening that weren't originally broadcast were included as I'm certain the show was longer than 50 minutes! The voiceovers are by Lonesome Dave and are kept to a minimum. Sound/video only warrants 2 stars IMO.
I give 4 stars overall as the historical performance matters more to me than the video/audio quality. I would recommend this to any Foghat or blues collector, but not necessarily to anyone who is a casual fan of either, mainly due to the video/audio quality.
FYI - Foghat does not play with Johnny Winter or Muddy Waters' first song; everyone who played that night joins in on the last song, which was done at Muddy Waters' original speed, and not Foghat's heavier & much faster version. Also, I own everything by Foghat, so you know where I'm coming from.
