Can no longer hear this song without thinking of the wonderful flick, "Dazed and Confused." All bring back great memories.

I had the great privilege of see Foghat, Molly Hatchet, and the Outlaws all perform at Full Throttle Saloon back in the day. Great times! "Take me to the River" is a great track to check out! Harri this group is right up your alley! Great choice on the extended version.

Love Green Grass & High Tides (Outlaws) !!

Great to see your reaction to Slow Ride by Foghat. I saw them live a few times in the late 70's early 80's and they are without a doubt one of the very best LIVE bands of all time! What a show they put on! High energy Rock-n- Roll Blues like no other. It a shame they are not in the Rock-n- Roll Hall of Fame. What a talented 4-piece band with a unique sound that's unmatched. Explore more of their music and hear for yourself. Rock In Peace Foghat, your music lives on forever!

This song always makes me think of the movie “Dazed and Confused”, which included this and many other iconic songs from the 70’s. Great stuff. 🌺✌️

The songs they used in that movie were perfectly placed for each scene, almost like they were all written specifically for Dazed and Confused.

There's also a great live version of this song. Whenever I play it while cruising down the highway in my car, it reminds me to take my foot off the gas pedal a bit - unlike when I play AC/DC, which always makes me drive faster. 😆 "Fool For The City" is another terrific Foghat tune - either the studio or the live version.

Love this expanded version of the song. So much more of their talents on display.

We called them Fog Hat, like a hat made of fog. And I saw them twice, as headliners around 1974, then again as one of the opening bands for Emerson, Lake and Palmer and their orchestra at Soldier Field in Chicago in 1977. They were a wild, good time.

I saw them sometime in that ‘76-‘77 period after the Fool For The City album got my attention. I’m in SW Michigan. It seems that kids from the midwest felt a more urgent need to see them? You’re right, they were a wild, good time. I love every track from that album (still).

Kings of playing slide guitar and always a funky slapping bass.

Great review!

Best driving song ever.

One of my favorites from back in the day!!

Fool For The City. Stone Blue, both title cuts, are definitely worth listening to.

Bringing back my teens, saw them at the Hollywood Sportatorium ( Hollywood Florida).

LOVE IT

Great song by great group!

I got pulled over, driving my '74 Plymouth Duster, listening to this on my 8-Track Stereo!!!!!!

I’m back for another song. Yes a great song for a ride around with your buddies. Yes a few warning tickets I did get. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful song with us all. As you say great stuff. 😎

Harri....never seen yr head bop so fast!!!!

This is about getting a long romp in the sack, keeping the rhythm right until the exploding climax . The music was telling the story along with the words. Brilliant song writing. I suggest you listen to Fool For The City next. I played this album all the time in the good old days.

Awesome Bro

Me gusta mucho esa canción

The Bass is killer

Love this. Love watching you, Harri!

I remember listening to this while playing air hockey and the taste and smell of beer while hanging out with friends at the Tiger Bar (just off campus on Highland Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) during my early college years.

GEAUX TIGERS! :)

Excellent engineering/mixing on this ! Blew me away when I first heard it way back when. You'd probably like "Chateau LaFitte '59 Boogie" by Foghat also... An album you might like to check out is "Rock and Roll Outlaws"...it's pretty much bomb.

The excellent bass player is their producer, Nick Jameson, who later released a few good solo albums and later became a TV actor

I saw them live in '78 (I think) Procol Harem went first then Foghat. It was an awesome concert..

Great song. You should watch "Dazed and Confused" this song is in it & it's my favorite year.

Best song do boogie bounce to on skates. Takes me way back.

Hi Harri. I don't know if pronunciation across the pond is different, but I've always heard the name pronounced as two words: Fog Hat even though they put the words together for their name. I don't know if one or the other is more correct.

High octane blues rock with some funk thrown in for good measure. Glad you picked the full version with the drum and bass solo.

I love to drive fast to this song! Great reaction Harri!

I only have a couple of songs that have “replacement memories”. Meaning the original memory I have of the song is replaced with something else. This came out when I was a sophomore in high school. But it will forever be a reminder of the movie “Dazed and Confused”.

Didn't get a ticket driving...but DID get a ticket to the show!!! These guys were great live!!! Saw someone else mentioned the live version, you should definitely give a listen! 🎶✌🎶

Had this LP ~ Great stuff, Thanx Harri !

While the drummer and bassist may not have been the greatest at their professions, they were definitely the right men in the right places at the right time.

But the singer/guitarist Lonesome Dave and the great lead guitarist Rod Price were. Sadly both are gone. Lonesome Dave in 2000 and Rod Price in 2005.

Great reaction. One of England´s greatest band! The "Live" album is a must!

I've seen Foghat a couple times. Great show!

Epic band....played this bluesy rockin' stuff all through the Disco era....

My high school years. ‘74-‘78

I always have to point out "Slow Ride" was 1st released on their Fool for the City album recorded in my hometown--it didnt take Foghat long to realize "they aint no country boys" -Recorded: Suntreader Studios, Sharon, Vermont-was a great rock and roll show LIVE

Reminds me of "Free Ride" by Edgar Winter Group

My very first concert I attended was Foghat and Rick Derringer at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino California in the mid 70's. Great time!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of the greatest. RIP Lonesome Dave.

The drummer, Roger Earl, is the only left and active in the band.

Got to experience Foghat Live at Bradley University Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse Peoria Illinois back in 1976 . Took my future wife , fantastic concert ! Check out Fool for the city too .

They bring me straight back to the 70s. ❤✌

The front man singer/guitarist Lonesome Dave Peverett and the great lead guitarist Rod Price were the dynamic duo. Saw them more than 25 times live in the 1970's and their reformation in the 1990's. Sadly both have passed...Lonesome Dave in 2000, and Rod Price in 2005. They were FOGHAT!

❤

I NEVER GOT A TICKET WITH SLOW RIDE BUT I DID GET 1 WITH DEEP PURPLE'S HIGHWAY STAR! :)

Hi Mr. Harri, Foghat is two distinct syllables Fog•hat.. I can not figure out how to give an example of how to say "hat" but is not hot.. Nice Song.. ♠W.G.

Attempt to prefer their first album the most but this album is just so classic. The epitome of Arena Rock and the song was just such a popular party song. And yeah, clearly it's about a nice long romp in the sack with the climax at the end. But it's also a great driving song. If you want to hear them totally go off oh, you've got to check out there Chuck Berry cover called Maybelline and it's off their first album and it's just mind-blowing how hard these guys can rock out.

I like the long version

Elaine Benes dancing in her apartment.

It’s coitus, beginning to end.

I Just Want to Make Love to You was written by Willie Dixon, first recorded by Muddy Waters. This song was written by the Foghat's lead singer, Lonesome Dave Preverett.

Aw yes, this song was originally on the album "Fool For The City", which is a good song as well, in fact, that would be great one to do next.

Cruising song, check out Sniff and the Tears doing Drivers Seat...

The core of this band was part of the English blues band Savoy Brown. They split with that band's founder and guitarist Kim Simmonds and formed Foghat. Try some Savoy Brown, maybe the song "Lookin In" for a sense of where they cut their chops.

I think that they are from your neck of the woods. Live version from Detroit is awesome 👌

☮️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎶🎵🎶...😏😎

Foghat Live - six tracks ( my only complaint ever was that it was a single live album during an era full of double and even triple live albums ) Pick any of the six tracks and enjoy . Personally , I say go straight to Road Fever or Honey Hush - then enjoy the other four tracks .

Great decision listening to the original version, the shorter version is a disgrace, it leaves out one of the greatest last 60 seconds of a rock song ever made.

all but the lead guitarist came from the band savoy brown a exceptional blues band. i suggest you give a listen to lifes one act play

Harri, do Mannheim steamroller deck the halls next. Real good Christmas song

The official anthem for kids coming of age in the 70s. Sums up what we were all chasing in one form or another: marijuana, sex, music, alcohol for the underaged.

WELL YOU DEFINITELYYYYYY HAFTA DO SOME FOGHAT SONGS HARRI, FOR SURE!!! :) LEADER OF THE BAND 'LONESOME DAVE ( DAVE PEVERETT ) DIED A LONGGGGG TIME BACK NOW, I WANNA SAY BACK IN 90 JUST LIKE ( PHIL LYNOTT ) OF THIN LIZZY, SAME TIME FRAME THEY BOTH PASSED! :( BUT THEIR MUSIC LIVES ONNNNNN MY FRIEND! :)

I dig your style

best bass track of all time.... The Who "Can You See The Real Me"

Nervous Release, Easy Money, Honey Hush, too name a few…

The band "F*ck@" lol

The day of natural Mary Jane 😍..not what our kids get today.. jamaican ,Alaskan thunder f@@k..blonde Lebanese..the days

Please listen to Kingdom Come “Get it on”

Ottis Redding live in Europe wont disappoint u

Classic Harri!

MY FAVORITE ALBUM IS ( NIGHT SHIFT ) WITH THE 2 HIT SONGS ON IT BEING : DRIVING WHEEL AND THE TITLE TRACK NIGHT SHIFT :) ANYWAY THEY HAD A BUNCH OF GREAT ROCK SONGS HARRI, AND THOSE DUELINGGGG GUITARS!

An orgasm depicted in music like no other.

Harri, Harri, Harri, This is one of my favorites, No, not Foghat, Tin Lizzy! You may have reacted prior, to my time with you. If you did, it may have been the live version. In this case, studio is better. Because it's what we heard on the radio. React or not, but give it a listen. Gary W (birthday) kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIJllJKkc8y8qbQ.html

Listen to honey hush- foghats fastest song

Should of done it live.... 10x better

Listening to Foghat in the car and committing "traffic atrocities?" Well then, you MUST check out "Drivin' Wheel," off "Night Shift" (1976). kzread.info/dash/bejne/dptrxMGEntPLZLg.html Since you appreciate the "Slow Ride" drum/bass groove, you should know that Foghat actually was between bassist when they recorded "Slow Ride" (their signature song & biggest hit) and the rest of the "Fool for the City" album (1975), which became their first Platinum record. Founding bass player Tony Stevens had grown tired of the band's constant Stateside touring, so producer Nick Jameson sat in & played "interim" bass. By the time "Fool for the City" was released, "new guy" Craig McGregor (1949-2018) had joined the band & he's the guy you hear on "Driving Wheel."

you also must try "I Just Want To Make Love To You"

Maybelline which is a Chuck Berry cover is a total banger by them from their first album. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWityaZwm7uxYJc.html

Slow ?????? JA

Inspired by a woman...how English of you to describe the song this way
