In June of 1973, I photographed Foghat at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center. Being a lover of Savoy Brown, I had to see these guys who left Savoy Brown and formed their own band, Foghat.
They had a little bit harder of a rock sound than Savoy Brown. "Lonesome Dave", otherwise known as Dave Peverett, was an awesome leader of the band.
Roger Earl, is still the drummer and continues touring with a new lineup of players. Foghat, has toured the world since 1970 and they continue to this day to keep rockin'!
Have a great week and take a look at the band in 1973.
Thanks,

On December 1, 1972, I photographed a show at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center. The lineup for the night was Pure Prairie League, Ben Sidran and John Prine.
As to who was the headliner that night is a good question. Pure Prairie League had a #1 hit going on with the song, "Amy", and John Prine was a very hot act. Anyone remember who the headliner was??
Also included here, are some color photos of Pure Prairie League, when Vince Gill was a part of the band. The photos were taken in the 1980's at UW Whitewater. Vince Gill, would later become a country superstar! His voice is amazing and he is such a talent.

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day and wonderful weekend!
This week's blog takes a look at the band Poco. In 1972, they were in Milwaukee and played at my favorite venue, The Performing Arts Center.
Poco, in 1972 was a great band with Richie Fury, Timothy B Schmidt and Rusty Young playing his pedal steel guitar. To me, he was the rock of the band because of my love of the pedal steel.
Jim Messina had just left the band and that was a giant missing piece but it was still an amazing band.
Timothy B Schmidt went on to play with The Eagles shortly after this show and Richie Fury also left the band.
Enjoy a look back at some great musicians and their most interesting logo on the drum set.
Have a great week.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
