While by no means deviating using their fundamental boogie, they maintained a large target audience until 1978, offering out concerts across America and generating several platinum or platinum albums. Once punk and disco arrived, the band’s target audience dipped dramatically. Making use of their straight-ahead, three-chord romps, Foghat’s appear was American in source, yet the users had been all natives of Britain.

The music group toured through the entire decade and in to the early ’90s. Probably growing sick and tired of early pension, Lonesome Dave produced his own edition of Foghat in 1990 and strike the street. After curing their rift, the initial Foghat (Peverett, Cost, Stevens, and Earl) re-formed in 1993 and toured for a long time, releasing Return from the Boogie Guys in 1994 and Street Situations in 1998.
