Foghat - and then there was 1.
I was watching some old videos on YouTube, and happened on Foghat's website. I saw that original bassist Craig Macgregor died on Friday, joining Lonesome Dave Peverett (singer) and Rod Price (lead guitar) in Heaven. They were my very first rock concert in 1978, and Macgregor made quite the impression on a 15 year old rock fan.
R.I.P., Craig, have a good jam with Dave and Rod.

An interesting aside: Foghat is going to be in concert in the spring at Epcot. I’m gong to try to get tickets!

Re: Foghat - and then there was 1.
Right — kinda makes me wonder what kind of show “they” can put on and how it will sound. Concert is free, so I may check it out if I can.

I guess we don't realize that these icons of our youth are not immortal! Kinda slaps you in the face when you realize these guys weren't that much older than you! Glad I decided to see as many of my fav bands from the 70s and 80s as possible before they are all gone!

Re: Foghat - and then there was 1.
Wow...I also saw them in '78....not my first concert, but in my first dozen or so. Wet Willie and Starz were on the undercard. As great as they were, I might have been as impressed with Starz. IIRC, Foghat was debuting a couple Stone Blue tracks. May not have been their biggest hit, but I do remember being blown away by Drivin Wheel.
RIP
