Of course you like it. That is old school to the bone. Hell, most the equipment looks like its right out of the fifties and sixties. Tube amps, gold top Gibson etc.

Anyone else use Google play music? I've had it for a few months now and love it. All access to every album I can think of, good streaming channels and as a bonus you get YouTube premium. It's worth the few bucks per month subscription. I like it better than Amazon and spotify, the YouTube premium is the tie breaker.

...my Brother still has his Les Paul gold top. (1958 I think)

...he replaced the original pickups with a set of DiMarzio pickups...and threw away the originals...big mistake.


...not sure what that Gibson would be worth with the factory original pickups. He also had an SG (Zappa was our musical hero back then) that he essentially gave away back in the 70s...another big mistake.

These guys are playing the Widmere Brothers Oktoberfest at Pioneer Square on 9/29, there is a high chance of a drunken donkiez sighting.

My wife loves them. I grew up listening to alot of old school Jamaican reggae, so the Californian pop-reggae stuff is kinda hard for me to get into. They have some stuff I like tho. I'm sure you've heard of them already but if not, check out the bands Rebelution and Iration I'm sure you'll dig them.

One of the best slide guitar players and one of the best live bands. If your feet aren't moving in the second song, then go to the hospital, you are almost dead.

Excellent
 
Here's one I used to listen to very often when I was in my last year of the Army. I was guarding a prisoner in the hospital. The prisoner was ironically a buddy of mine who became a Conscientious Objector who refused to go to Vietnam. They put him in the stockade where they subjected him to nasty things. He went on a hunger strike and they put him in the hospital where they force fed him. Ironically, I was in a Casual company where we got picked for odd jobs. They even sent me to Montana to pick up a prisoner who had gone AWOL and got picked up at his grandmother's house by the Air Force. Nice kid, I hated bringing him back in handcuffs with a .45 strapped to my waste.

My friend in the hospital had an Akai tape recorder with all these Moody Blues songs. Man, what memories.

I saw them many times at weekend festivals in San Diego in the early 70s....entrance to the concerts was 99 cents for a weekend pass..Foghat wasn't well known then but played almost every festival....not sure if they are from San Diego but they played there all the time when I lived there along with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, Lee Michaels, J Geils Band, Sha na na and many others

Foghat is actually a British band and was formed when 3 members left Savoy Brown and added Rod Price on lead guitar. I wonder if maybe they set up camp in southern California during that time. They were a great live band although 2 of my favorite live acts was Ten Years After and ZZ Top who at the time was an opening act for Rare Earth. Felt sorry for Rare Earth as ZZ TOP at the time was relatively unknown but blew Rare Earth away.
