Foghat hit the Mid-Hudson Civic Center at the peak of their commercial power — “Slow Ride” was still working its way through rock radio and the Fool for the City album had cemented their place as FM staples. The British boogie-rockers were a ferocious live band, leaning hard into extended blues jams that turned their crowd-pleasers into full-on workouts. The Hudson Valley had been a strong Foghat market, and this show did not disappoint.
