The year 1977 (MCMLXXVII) was a common year starting on a Saturday. In many countries where Sundays are holidays, Saturday is part of the weekend, and is traditionally a day of relaxation. However, in western culture, parties are held on Saturdays because it precedes Sunday, a day of rest.
Born from a party atmosphere and aesthetic, the year 1977 produced an appropriate musical soundtrack. Legendary bands like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and the Talking Heads made their debuts in 1977; the same year Elvis Presley died, and Led Zeppelin played their final concert in the United States. Within this grave wound, our popular culture beckoned for one last great rock’n’roll album to negotiate the end of an era, and with it came Foghat LIVE.
