  • that groove for a solo from 1:20-1:42 is one of the best ever.

  • One of the best solo grooves ever!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i still blast this song from Foghat Live in my car with 1000the watts so I can hear it! one of my favorite jams to this day! The Foghat Live version has the sickest slide solo of all time!  We'll see ya guys in the afterlife!

  • @higuy1313 that's sad, but thats where Spinal Tap came up with the Jazz/Blues jam in front of 25 or so in the movie!

  • @rebelnightrider...... yes, 2011 minus 1973 is 48, just as 50 minus 12 is 48. You are obviously an outstanding maths genius, so please let me know what you would like to call your amazing theorem ("The 48 Theorem" perhaps?) and I will duly inform the maths world.

  • @MrAttPatt haha yeah 50 minus 12 is definetly 48

  • thanks aerosmith for the song train kept a runnin

  • Foghat, one of the most inspiring influential bands of our time!

    Rest in Peace Dave, Thanks for all you gave!

  • 1975 Kiel Auditorium in St.Louis. They rocked the roof off the place. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band opened.

  • my brother did lights/smoke for bands in tri-state area/ny,nj,conn. in 70'swe worked for them whenever they played rock clubs in that area.They MELTED the paint off the walls.Best show in setauket NY, club called "tueys"....never forget the intensity.The GOOD OL DAYS.teach your kids what REAL music is......PEACE

  • Yes indeed. Some of the best shows in the early 70's was Foghat at the Hershey Park Arena, They blew everyone off the stage. RIP Lonesome Dave the Rod.

  • Still say this was one of the hardest rockin' bands of all time, Yes, I saw them live back in the '70s and still have some hearing loss from it, I think concert tickets were about eight or ten bucks back then.

  • saw theme 3rd row center with Triumph '82-'83, in CHI-TOWN!!!!!!!

    

  • i was 12 years old when this come out now i am 50 !!

  • This song brings back some partying days, I'm tellin ya!!!

  • Interesting. There were a lot of old blues songs that were redone by rockers like Aerosmith ,Foghat, etc., back in the 60's and 70's.

    Also, suprised someone didn't get sued over the other. They sound a lot alike. RE: George Harrison-My Sweet Lord and He's So Fine by the Chiffons.

  • This almost makes me feel 16 again!! What a great clip. Sad to hear about Rod. Rest in peace man.

  • I knew Dave Preverett had passed. So Rod Price did too?

    Also, which came first, Honey Hush or Train Kept A Rollin?

  • @don8522 Kind of a trick question that one, I had to look on Wikipedia: "Honey Hush", written by Big Joe Turner (although he assigned the rights to his wife, Lou Willie Turner), was recorded in May 1953 in New Orleans. "Train Kept A-Rollin" is a song written by Tiny Bradshaw, Howard Kay, and Lois Mann. Bradshaw first recorded the song as a jump blues in 1951[1]. "Train Kept A-Rollin'"

    Single by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio

    B-side "Honey Hush"

    Released 1956.

  • One of the hardest rocking bands to ever walk on planet Earth!!

  • Eahh un clásico para conocedores del buen rock de los70s. pregunto si habrá videos del albúm en vivo del 77 acetato que aun guardo en mi colección. D ser asi por favor cuelguen videos de este grupo

  • Wow! Better than I remembered it!

    Thanks for posting!

  • There's a special place reserved in Heaven for good men like Dave Peverett and Rod Price! Thanks for sharing, birkenheaderky!

  • AIO SILVER HAEUAHEUAHEUAHEUAHEUAHEU

  • I heard Foghat live once at a friends house and was blown away!! I ran right out and bought it!!

  • @zzerovisibility I used to hike 12 miles home from school just to hear Foghat Live alone at maximum volume. Man I blew up at least 3pair of Panasonic Thrusters on Foghat Live. I was in third grade and Foghat was in its prime. Damn they was bad ass live!!

  • I remember seeing TV commercials for upcoming Foghat concerts at 10,000 seat venues in the late 1970's. Foghat Live was my very first album and still one of the 10 best live albums ever. I saw the band at Hammerjacks in Baltimore (then largest club on the East Coast, held ~1200) in late '89 or early '90. Five middle-aged, exhausted-looking and sounding guys looking like they needed a long stay in rehab played for a crowd of about 25, 1000 under the club's capacity. It was really, really sad

  • this and Wild Cherry were always great live stompers

  • Saw the original line up in the 90's at a country bar in Houston (midnite rodeo or something) on a Sunday night with about 30 other die hard Foghat fans and they rocked that place like they were playing a stadium. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

    These guys wrote and played the soundtrack to my life during the 70's.

    This is a killer song & a killer clip! Thanks for posting!

  • @wathen004

    Wow what an experience, that's pretty much like every music fan's dream.

  • a tres pendejos no les gusta la buena musica jajaja

  • This can't be beat by anyone, from any era. Period. Done deal.

  • Still Blows me away at the age of 55.High ENERGY FUCK OFF MUSIC that Rates amongst the very best in ROCK N ROLL. Where is the Delorean Marty? We need to get back to the SEVENTIES...

  • train keep a rollin all night long !!

  • My 10th grade year and was turned on to the GREATEST rock band in history. God bless you and may you rest in peace LoDave and Rod the bottle Price. looking forward to 7/16/11 when the current band is in Atlanta.

  • Did Rod The Bottle kill? Or what? What an absolute head banger.

  • Foghat with Lonesome Dave Peverett and Rod Price and Tony Stevens and Roger Earl are simply the best band ever. Period. End of story. Done deal. Closeout sale. Everything reduced. Buy it. Bye!

  • Train kept a rollin ?

  • I'll never forget Dave and Rod!

  • @mcleanartists Two of the Best

  • Civic Arena in Pittsburgh... 1973... Lonesome Dave and the boys... what a fogged memory, but a great one

  • Luv seein' a young Rod Price on lead, too, huh? I wished I woulda learned to play more than the broom or air guitar - I would want to be just as precise as Rod...

  • We love you, Cleveland. We love you, Kansas City. I miss bands that said stuff like this onstage and rocked like this on stage. Now bands act like they're inconvenienced having to play, and they aren't even good players.

  • @mikedonn71 Ya, No SH*T, huh? As if it's not bad enough for us to deal with the current ticket prices, they ARE inconvenienced by having to play. I just wished we had the Rock & Roll Outlaws jet. Can you imagine?

  • awesome! too bad ya don't have Wild Cherry live

  • You can not make judgement unless you went to a 1973 Foghat concert.

    They were Foghat. No one else was.

    Road fever, home in my hand, and ride ride ride weren't just a song name to Lonesome Dave and the boys

    RIP.

    Now it is just Foghurt.

  • who what when. it dont matter, just turn this gem up till the neighbors ears bleed. man this smokes

  • Kids, Do your homework!

    There's nothing new under the Sun!

    Believe me- I've been playing the blues over 45 years.

    Seminole Jackson - on Youtube with Dixie Blues, Vintage Boogie, Midnight Suns.

    P.S. Love the Foghat's rocked out electric blues, also love the older versions- Johnny Burnett's Honey Hush, Muddy Waters' I just Wanna Make Love to You, and on and on.

    Surf the 'tube for 'em!

  • Foghat is simply 7 trillion times the band Aerosmith is. I can go ta bed ta-night knowing this is both true and right.

  • Both 'ripped' off the Yardbirds. This was their song. Both did covers. What is wrong with that. I have seen the original Foghat and Aerosmith in the 70s. I love Foghat, but they can't hold a candle to Aerosmith.

  • @mizzou79tiger Foghat and the Yardbirds (check the name these cats chose for their band!) were big fans of the Blues...one of their favorites was Big Joe Turner...he wrote Honey Hush, Foghat's treatment was their tribute to Big Joe, but keeping the boogie rockin' tradition.

  • Foghat rocked the 70s we were all fools for the city, Aerosmith ripped off Foghats style of riffs for their version of train kept a rolling.

  • this tune rocks almost as much as daves glittery suit

  • The best band slide rock of the world.Pena que Dave Lonesome Peverett died.

    this is a big moment of the live rock.alfredo

  • Train Kept a Rolling goes back to Jeff Beck when he was with the Yardbirds, he got from an old blues baseline and sped it up. I've always preferred the Foghat of the pre-Slow Ride days.

  • @northwi60 Beck got it from Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll trio- a legendary pioneering Rockabilly band from Memphis. They recorded a cover of Honey Hush and Train Kept a Rollin in a Rockabilly style-and that the version all the English bands were covering.

  • That Foghat rhythm section rocks da house!

  • train kept a rollin?

  • Amazing Band...My 1st Foghat album was actually an 8-track of Rock'nRoll Outlaws...

    Anyone find Bluespruce Woman on video...?

  • WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  • When I heard Train Kept a Rollin by Aerosmith right away I thought "man they ripped off Foghat Honey Hush- a complete copy of this riff. RIP Lonesome Dave!

  • @BillGtrMan this song is totally ripped off the yardbirds just to let u know....

  • @BillGtrMan Thats because both songs were covered by Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio in 1956. They were the ones to use the distorted guitar riff first on their Rockabilly recordings first, by guitarist Paul Burlison. Search YouTube for Johnny Burnette Train Kept A Rollin or Honey Hush.

  • puro hard blues!

  • I love all these bands, but Zeppelin did do more than its share of borrowing, yeah everybody borrows and plays the same chords but train kept a rolling is all over this one, great band with great songs, dont get me wrong, ( Ri.I.P., Lonesome Dave savoy brown, he's friggin legendary) AC/DC borrows pletny of chords, all three or four sometimes five chords but it is definitely unique AC/DC you hear in their songs, I guess its how you arrange those borrowed influences eh?

  • Woah, awesome! That guy is a fantastic guitar player!

  • @bareknuckles2u his name is rod price

  • @jokerjunior2 Thanks, buddy. Yah, that is who I was refering to. He was great wasn't he? It's too bad he died. 

  • @bareknuckles2u i think the singer died to of cancer a few years back.

  • @jokerjunior2 You're right, what a shame...

  • @bareknuckles2u i saw foghat in 1978 when they were doing the stoneb lue tour at the philly spectrum in philly. they are tearing that down now by the way.

  • Ok! All of us that can remember back that far, love Foghat.

  • You have more this concert?

  • People are ignorant.... turned stupid. Uuuuuh!

  • This is real rock and roll, something the bands today don't know anything about, and they definitely can't play it!

  • As they should own this tune, legally, because musically they totally own it!

  • Foghat owns this tune, a gift from Burnette. What ever happened to Rock and Roll?

  • Saw Foghat 1/2 dozen times in the 70's, always a great show. Loved Rod, he was a beast...

  • Energized!!! When they were touring they Packed Arenas, Best LIVE Rock Band saw 'em 4 or 5 times in my youth. Awesome post! RIP "Lonesome" Dave and Rod "The Bottle"

  • Honey Hush was totally Foghat. Yardbirds did Train Kept A Rollin along with Aerosmith. All good versions. Yardbirds have two versions by the way. I have both.

  • @stargazer2756 Both Honey Hush and Train kept A Rollin sound similar because they are both covers of The Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio's version form 1956.

    The heavy guitar riffs are from rockabilly guitarist Paul Burlison.

  • Luv to see a young Rod jam on his axe!!! Sweet!!!

    Time to grab the jet -

  • Luv to see a young Rod jam on his axe!!! Sweet!!!

  • We miss you Lonesome Dave!

  • I Think ...LOL thats the Key... I think this is amazing Music.....I read all the comments.. My First Album I ever Owned was Foghat Live... guess I missed the buss ...

    I played FogHat Live On a...... Plastic... Kids ....Show and tell...... if any of you remember what that was... fun times...

  • Yardbirds originally came up with Train Kept-A Rollin way before this song.

  • @lewisduncan93 Jonny Burnette shaped Train Kept-A-Rollin AND Honey Hush in 1956. It's definitely worth listening!

  • If you like Foghat, then check out the Savoy Brown anthology. It has some tracks Lonesome Dave recorded when he was in that band.

  • Terrible quality video.

  • To DonsonDK: You must pick up the album/CD "Energized" again if it's MIA. It should be in everyone's collection. Take care.

  • Ah yes. The wildest record ever made" Energized" by FOGHAT. You COULDN'T play this album at low volume. Impossible!

  • @phonedoug Energized.....a record missing in action in my collection,,,,but Foghat Live , the old one, is in my opinion one of the five best rockn roll records ever made . a great band back then

  • Great video!

  • foghat back in the day, it didn't get much better than that.

  • great tune. this song was also covered by the New York band RIOT on the RIOT live cd, it is also a kick ass version. thanks for the video.

  • Their 70's Live album sounds so huge. It's so full of sound, a wall! Wish i had see them around that period.

  • he got 1 rythm for all her song or what train its the same song the solo was cool but that it

  • There are many men and women in their late 30's and early 40's that were conceived at kegger parties while some garage band played this song!

  • The days when rock n rollers could be rock n rollers!!!!

  • Johnny Burnette on Coral records. 1956.

    

  • Aerosmith attributed it to Tiny Bradshaw ... Foghat to Big Joe Tuner. Johnny Burnette released it as both Train Kept a Rollin / Honey Hush in 1956 or Coral. No matter it is the same tune ... and stellar. The Yardbirds made it famous in the mid 60's.

  • Train Kept a Rollin and Honey Hush is the same song.

  • It's the same riff as aerosmith

  • It,s the same riff as aerosmith

  • This is da shit !

  • @atomicplayboy4u This is what? These guys gave their lives to rockn roll, and we loved them, keep away

  • @DonsonDK old man that is a compliment LOL

  • @atomicplayboy4u What do you mean? LOL

  • They kept the( FM ) in the production,not many commercials,

    Midnight special was like AM.

    they sped up the bands so( shit) could be put in the middle!

  • the midnight special was ok,

    As long as IN CONCERT wasnt on!

    Wheres the rest of this show?

  • These guys are so underrated, one of the hardest rocking bands to ever walk the face of the Earth!

  • I was 15, there at the Knoxville Civic arena and without my parents permission in 73. I hated it because I couldn't tell them how great the band was or how Elvis had been outdone by Lonesome DAVE. SHAME on them. Whats more important?

  • @thebabyfish I was the same age and saw them the same year at Roanoke, Va Civic Center. Peter Frampton was the opening act.

  • hi-yo, hi-yo silver!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow the memories come rushing back, I listened and watched this with an ear to ear grin, ah the good old days

  • Aerosmith obviously took a bite out of this song...Lol!

  • @alphaanimator I think Jeff Beck did that song before Aerosmith and the playing of that riff at the opening was probably a homage to it. JMHO of course.

  • This is how you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hOLY CRAP !!!!!!!!!!

  • ...yeah...nice song...a little too bit similar to "Train kept a rollin'",,;-)

  • The 70s was the best decade for music

  • @jfk261 YEAH!!!

  • @jfk261

    60's & 70's !!!

  • @jfk261 Definetly especially hard rock :) 

  • real American Rock en roll,,,,,,Stand tall , Rockers we love you,,,,,,,

  • I remember blasting this song (on my 8 track) in my '76 Camaro (on the interstate)coming home from an "all nighter"...Great "cruising" song!!!!!! Fond memories...Wish they had a "Wild Cerry" song posted ?..Oh well...

  • From the rockabilly classic by The Johnny Burnette Trio, who also created "The Train Kept A-Rollin'". Both songs made popular later by the Yardbirds.

  • Any Foghat music is good lovin', rockers. BTW-one can buy some live Foghat on DVD. It's called 2002-2004 Official Foghat Bootleg DVD. It is the new lineup with Bryan Bassett on lead and slide guitar, and Charlie Huhn (Ted Nugent, Humble Pie, Victory) on vocals and guitar. Tony Stevens is on bass on the DVD and original Foghat drummer Roger Earl is on the drums, of course. It is worth buying, several interviews are included and of course lots of great Foghat shows are on it. It's good rockin'!

  • One Friggin amazing and catchy song

  • there's no doubt the`beat' they had going was HOT,,in fact that's why we'all enjoy their music from this time period,,,i love it all,(give it all to me You-Tube!),,but Foghat,well they earned their place on my plate with the early stuff as well as the late reunion tours,and i'd go see the band today,he!! yeah! FOGHAT GIRL!

  • These guys rocked the ca, cow palace back in 78 . the fog hat live tour , my frist consert ... dam good show !

  • saw these guys in Savannah,GA in 1976....no lazers, no explosions, no flash...they just went on stage and did what they did best....kicked f-ing ass

  • @BigNuthin yea me too, they did kick ass

  • This is for 17 year old white virgin boys, who have never had a girlfriend !

    Want real draught beer, rather than Budweiser or Schlitz ? Go see Big Joe Turner.

    Want something stronger - say, real neat bourbon ? Then unleash The Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio, hang on for dear life & pray that you haven't woken up the Prince of Darkness himself ! Now that guitar player really did sell his soul at the crossroads ! Insane hot bopz !

  • Comment removed

  • We´d all like to thank The Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio fo coming up with the song, but the Foghat version is just electrifying and unbeatable.

  • @vulture3112 And the Rock and Roll Trio would probably like to thank Tiny Bradshaw, who actually did come up with the song . . .

  • I never had the pleasure of seeing this lineup in concert... but, I did get to see a different lineup including Lonesome Dave, Roger Preverett and a couple of other guys of whom I'm really not sure.... and they kicked major ASS!!! Dallas, Texas in the late 90's.. at Fair Park. Bad asses deluxxx!!!!!

  • @margovallen I said "Roger Preverett"... his name is Roger Earl. Lonesome Dave's last name was 'Preverett'.... ooooops, sorry.. my bad :-)

  • @margovallen IT IS OKAY...I SAID THE SAME THING!!!

  • Saw Lonesome Dave and the boys three times at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena back in the day... one of the best live bands ever

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent!! Foghat kicked ASS!!

  • rod price is the most unknown killer

  • Actually a TOTAL rip off of the Yarbirds Train kept a rollin.

  • @MrMegaFredzeppelin

    Wow I can't believe no one has responded...you're right. I've been sayin' it for years without much agreement from others for some reason. But both songs ROCK. 

  • @MrMegaFredzeppelin WRONG.....TKaR and HH are two different (yet remarkably similar) tracks. There are versions of both on YouTube that go back way before The Yardbirds were formed.

  • Check your facts...Aerosmith cover'd TKR in 1974,(Get You Wings)...key word is COVER'D......Honey Hush,(basicaly the same tune) was Foghat's version in 1973.

    Both are cover versions of an old Johnny Burnette tune.

  • Actually, you're both wrong. The Yardbirds did cover this song, before Aerosmith did it, but neither band wrote it. It's an old song from the 1950s by Big Joe Turner. The main riff of the song is widely used, and shows up in dozens of old blues songs, at varying tempos. It's not a "rip off" by any means, unless you want to say that old-time blues singers were all ripping each other off.

  • @MacCrab Aerosmith NEVER covered this tune. You're thinking of "Train Kept-A Rollin'".. which is a totally different tune.

  • @margovallen you are correct

  • @margovallen The structure of this song IS "Train Kept A Rollin""....

  • @hangingrock57 Well, the structure of "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison is that of

    "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons.... but, that hardly makes it that song, now does it?

    Have a nice day :-)

  • @margovallen It does sound similar especially the opening. 

  • @margovallen But Aerosmith covered Train Kept A Rollin because they got it from the Yardbirds.

  • @guitarconasor That is correct :-)

  • @guitarconasor

    Train Kept A-Rollin" is a song written by Tiny Bradshaw. Bradshaw first recorded the song in 1951. Johnny Burnette and his trio recorde a rock'n'roll version in 1956. The Trio's version, considered a rockabilly classic, is an upbeat, high energy version of the original, with lead guitarist Paul Burlison playing what many consider to be the first introduction of the contemporary fuzz tone guitar sound.

  • @jgnov99 Thanks for the wikipedia update.

  • @margovallen similar music diffterent lyrics

  • @LARRYFECTEAU Exactly the same.. only different.. haha!

  • @margovallen Sounds quite a bit like "Train Kept A Rollin" to me. Wonder if the Yardbirds ever figured this out. Still good song regardless.

  • @bucky468 It does have a riff that is somewhat like that of "Train Kept A Rollin" and perhaps, the Yardbirds have very well figured it out however, thats all they could do.. figure it out and realize it's existence as being that the Yardbirds didn't write "Train" there nothing they could ever do in the way of a lawsuit.

    In fact, I'm really not sure just how much a song needs to seem "stolen" before a band or whomever has the right to take legal action. George Harrison was sued by the Chiffons.

  • @bucky468 IT SURE DOES...SOUNDS LIKE THE YARDBIRDS TIME WARPED UP ABOUT 11 YEARS OR SO..BUT IT STILL GOOD, ME STILL LOVE!!

  • @margovallen same chord progression easy to confuse!

  • @margovallen sorry, not totally different, similiar on the music side but different lyrics,

    cheers.........

  • @knowMusicMan What I mean by "totally different".. is that it's a totally different song. It is it's own song. Obviously, they both have similarities.

    Two different songs in each of their own right. :-)

  • @knowMusicMan No need to apologize.. we all make mistakes. Totally different songs. One is entitled "Train Kept A Rollin".. and the other is entitled "Honey Hush".... 2 ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SONGS!

    Have a good day.

  • @margovallen Well, margovallen —of course, you are right but, ya gotta forgive that one —yes? —I mean, c'mon —With the signature "Train Kept a Rollin'" central to this tune, it's almost surprising they weren't sued for plagiarism...
