"Even though Foghat's long-time lead singer and lead guitarist (Lonesome Dave Peverett and Rod Price) are deceased, Charlie Huhn and Bryan Bassett do a fantastic job of taking their places. This version of Foghat (including original drummer Roger Earl and long-time bassist Craig MacGregor) is a tight, rocking, great-sounding band that Lonesome Dave and Rod would be very proud of.



Foghat Live II is a good album, with nice production and excellent tunes. My only wish is that they mixed the crowd noise into the sound a little more, like was done on Foghat Live (which was released in '77). Still, it's a great album that you lovers of Foghat, Pat Travers, and the like will enjoy.



I've seen this version of Foghat in concert a few times recently, and I wish that they could capture their live sound better on this album. Seeing them perform in person is a great experience that can't be captured on a CD.



If you get the chance, see Foghat live if they're playing in your area, because these guys are FANTASTIC in concert. They can still kick it very well despite having a few gray hairs!!"

"CD espetacular, excelente qualidade de som. Esperamos anciosos por um DVD com esse profissionalismo que a banda apresenta. Felizmente eles resolveram voltar com a banda que foi um ícone dos anos 70', presença marcante na Radio Eldorado (Eldo Pop)."

Great Album!! Real Fans Only Need Apply

"True, only one original member. But the band carries on with the memories of Dave, Rod & Tony firmly entrenched in their playing and attitude. This 2 cd set rocks as well as rolls start to finish. The band is tight as the original Foghat ever was. A band that marches on with the blessing of the great Lonesome Dave.

The sound quality, mix and overall production is top rate. As a fan of the band well back into it's Savoy Brown days, I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled by this purchase. It has been in my car cd player for weeks now. The band seems to be having a sh%tload of fun and the audience can feel their energy. If you are a long time Foghat fan (like me), you know the songs, you know the history of the band, you know the legacy, but you don't know how good this album really is. Highly recommeded!"
