In September 1999, when Foghat performed "Sweet Home Chicago" at Millennium Plaza in Chicago, the band was riding the wave of their legacy as an established rock group. At that time, they had released their album "Road Cases" in 1998, which was a live album showcasing their classic rock appeal and solidified their reputation for energetic performances. The live recording at the Millennium Tour highlights their enduring popularity in the late '90s, particularly as they celebrated more than two decades in the music industry. Interestingly, Foghat originally formed in 1971 and gained fame with their hit singles like "Slow Ride." The performance reflects the band's ability to connect with both longtime fans and new audiences, demonstrating their resilience in the rock scene after several lineup changes and shifting musical trends.
