American roots rock icon John Fogerty is as beloved for his solo work as he is for his time with legendary swamp rockers Creedence Clearwater Revival. Included by Rolling Stone on both their 100 Greatest Guitarist and 100 Greatest Singers lists, Fogerty continued to assert his role as an enduring figure in rock music with the 2013 release of Wrote a Song for Everyone, his ninth solo album. Featuring collaborative interpretations of his most beloved songs performed with acts like Foo Fighters, Miranda Lambert, and Jennifer Hudson, the album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and provided listeners a fresh new take on classics like “Bad Moon Rising” and “Born on the Bayou.” Fogerty rose to success with Creedence Clearwater Revival in the late ‘60s, achieving international fame in 1969 with hit single “Proud Mary” from Bayou Country. After the release of the band’s final album in 1972, Fogerty would release a series of critically-acclaimed solo albums, including 1997’s Blue Moon Swamp and 2008’s Revival, the former of which won a Grammy for Best Rock Album. On tour in 2013, Fogerty has been treating ticket buyers to extended renditions of his greatest hits, earning rave reviews for his infectious energy.
Wonderful concert. Great musicians backing him in an intimate setting. JF was very warm and friendly. Often describing how songs were written, the setting, instruments used etc…. He has such a distinctive voice. I think many in the audience were taken back to earlier times in their life. He didn’t hold back. He seemed to play every song in his catalog.
Fogerty and Sons were phenomenal! However, the show was late starting and ended at 9pm, so it seems the concert was 1.5 hours at best. Would like to have the option to use printed tickets instead of scanning my phone. We were seated in the VIP area and the seats were excellent but unfortunately fans in front of us rudely chose to stand for the entire concert.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but John Fogerty and his band played their hearts out! His humility and appreciation were obvious, which made them even more wonderful! Wow, so glad we were able to go. They played for about two hours straight, but didn't even get to all of their hits. Next time!!
The event started out with a brief video then John Fogerty took the stage and repeated essentially the same thing. A few songs in the sound system failed. Instead of starting over JF moved on to the next song which also had sound glitches. The feeling was that he was going to power through no matter what so he could finish and leave. When he did speak between songs he mentioned for the third time how he now owns his own music. Was looking forward to an evening of hits and good memories but left feeling unsatisfied with the event.
John Fogarty/CCR were among my earliest musical influences. They were one of the main reasons I learned to play guitar. The energy and mojo of the show was unbelievable. Kudos to John for getting rights back to his own music.
Fogerty was very interactive with audience and his music was awesome
Mr Fogarty was amazing! A quick loss of power during one song made for a bit of a song along but overall the venue was great. Very intimate setting and it was like having CCR in your living room. Thanks to Talking Stick for a great evening!
Last night (Sunday, Nov. 19, 2023) I saw John Fogerty in concert at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. It was the final show of his 2023 tour and was also his 5th show in 5 nights. Pretty impressive for a 78 year old rocker! The show was only 90 minutes long but he sounded as good as ever. Maybe better! Early in the show during Lookin’ Out My Back Door, the sound went out, but you could still hear the unamplified song with the outdoor crowd singing right along. It really sounded good. The tour celebrated his regaining control of the rights to his music earlier this year. Before his final encore, Proud Mary, he and his band that included several of his children celebrated on stage with a bottle of champagne. All night long, he seemed to be having even a better time than his appreciative audience. I’m really glad I made the 100 mile (one way) drive! As Bruce Springsteen has said, “…give the people more than their money’s worth.” John Fogerty certainly did that. Also, a special call out to his sax player, Rob Stone (I believe). He was brilliant! Here is his 20 song setlist from his Saturday show: https://www.setlist.fm/.../harrahs-resort-southern.... If I remember correctly, Sunday night’s setlist was the same.
Sang all the CCR hits with energy and passion. Engaged with the audience. His voice is still very good and the backing of his sons and other band members was excellent. A superb concert.
Was a great concert, John Fogerty played many of his hits, introduced his family and band and made it what seemed a very personal concert. The venue was ok....seats are too close together, but other than that it was great.
