foghat

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.
