Former Creedance Clearwater Revival frontman heads out on tour
Why see John Fogerty?
Fortunate Son
Founder member of Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fogerty's unmistakable growl was a staple of American radio during the 60s, on tracks like Bad Moon Rising, Proud Mary and the anti-Vietnam war anthem Fortunate Son.
Selling millions of records worldwide, the group disbanded in 1970, at which point Fogerty pursued a highly successful solo career, penning hits including Old Man Down the River and Rockin' All Over the World (later made famous by Status Quo).
Don't miss Fogerty when heads out on tour across the country, bringing his talents a stage near you.

Fogerty Rocks, But To Loud & To Much Distortion
I attended the John Fogerty Creedence Clearwater Revival Celebration last night at Mohegan Sun Arena. The opening act was Fogerty’s Suns band who were musically proficient, but way to loud with most of the set having lots of distortion due to the volume.
I expected Fogerty to tone down the volume a bit because the size of the room makes for lots of distortion, but he sadly did not.
Fogerty opened his set with Bad Moon Rising after about a 5 minute film of him explaining that this Celebration tour is due to the fact that he now owns all his music after decades of legal wrangling with the record company who opened it. For a 77 year old man his voice is still excellent and he hit all the right notes during the 23 son set. Highlights included Run Through The Jungle, , Green River, Born On The Bayou, Who’ll Stop The Rain, Fortunate Son & An Encore Of Down On The Corner & Proud Mary.
Overall the concert was excellent with the only problem being that it was way to loud. I’m 61 and have attended hundreds of concerts including The Who 3 times, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, The Stones, so I’m no stranger to loud concerts (The Who being the loudest) but the arena was to small for that level of volume and it tended to distort the music & lyrics at times. Several other people who
I talked to after the show agreed that it was too loud.
Overall I give the show 4/5 âï¸s ... Read more

Read the reviews. It was that good!
I grew up in the late 60s-early 70s in New Orleans. I do not remember ever seeing a concert this good and when I had this much fun. The best part is John living his best life on stage with his sons. Here's the kicker...an older gentleman on our row could hardly even walk to his seat w/o assistance...But, he was dancing some sort of a jig at Proud Mary. Do not miss this tour! ... Read more
