A nice find, featuring the original core lineup of the band performing 8 tracks broadcast live on WPLR-FM, New Haven CT (the title is misleading, as the performance is actually from January Sound in Dallas, not WPLR studios.) The sound quality is superb, usually crystal clear. The performance was to promote their current album, Rock and Roll Outlaws, one of my personal favorites. From that record, they give us the title track, "Chateau Lafitte '59 Boogie", and a sizzling version of "Dreamer". Bassist Tony Stevens left after this period to pursue acting, so this is the closing of that era for the band before their leap to radio success the next year with "Slow Ride" and the great Fool for the City album.

In addition to these 8 songs, we get three bonus tracks: "Honey Hush" live (also from 1974), plus two live tracks from November of 1972 in San Diego. The three tack-on tracks are nice, but nowhere near the high quality of the previous material. The closer, "Louisiana Blues", is a cover of the Muddy Waters tune and is not available on any of the band's albums. Fans of Foghat will be quite pleased with this boot. --- SkinnyRobbie, rateyourmusic.com
