Well, a group of us went and saw the John Fogerty concert last night and despite the heat, and the fact we were forced to drink many beers, it was a great great show.
The opening act was Jim Cuddy and his band. He had an incredible female violinist/fiddler in his very tight band. He put on a great show in his very short set.
John Fogerty surely did not disappoint the crowd at the Saddledome. His band was awesome. I have to say that, second to John, Kenny Aronoff on drums was just bloody amazing. At 63 John was as good as he ever was moving from one hit to another. He even had his "baseball bat" guitar for "Centerfield". Just a great collection of guitars on the stage. drool, drool, drool!!!
I was a little disappointed that he did not have "Running Through the Jungle" on his set list. I think the set list was the same as Winnipeg two nights earlier:
Travelin' Band
Green River
Who'll Stop The Rain
It Came Out Of The Sky
Born On The Bayou
Lookin' Out My Backdoor

Deja Vu
I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Have You Ever Seen The Rain

Good Golly Miss Molly
Old Man Down The Road
