John Fogerty at South Street Seaport 9/2/2009

I'd venture this was better than the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock Concert (although Taking Woodstock is a good movie). John Fogerty has only improved since Woodstock. He rocked South Street Seaport in New York City tonight. He opened with a Linda Ronstadt song (does this mean you support Jerry Brown, John?). Here's that song and my favorite from CCR. Born on a Bayou. Oh, and I can't wait to get the new album. It's country. What was the CCR country album, Mardi Gras?

I'm afraid there's no such thing as a hit single anymore. Fogerty seems to still enjoy the hell out of what he does. It shows.

gotta love that bobbing bald spot

Hey I'm the guy w the bald spot in he lower left (blue shirt) !! LOL. YOU'LL

be 50 years old one day. TRY TO STOP IT! (ha, ha). Thanks very much for the vid-LMAO. Proof positive that some white guys CAN get their groove on as well as any other ethnic group!

Brilliant show, tight band, great songs, & JF is an amazing guitar player- must have played 6 or 7 axe's + some nice feedback to start "Keep on Chooglin". Not a big C&W fan, but love JF and this show definitely ROCKED!

I'm 40 already. Picked up the album at Borders. I like it a lot. Seems natural for him. To much rockin at 60 looks like they're just trying to make money. I'm with Grace Slick. Old people don't need to be prancing around on the stage pretendin' to be 20. Fogerty does it well.

jagger seems to still do it well--grace slick--i can see why

depends. tina turner still looks great + rocks. mick jag can rock but looks awful. iggy pop looks like a mummy but can still bounce around better than guys half his age. a paul mac (67)

show is smooth as silk. lou reed (67) looks ancient + needs a teleprompter but sounds like nobody else.

basically when you can't play your instrument or remember the words that's when it's time call it quits.

les paul played gigs into his 90's. old blues guys kept it going until they dropped. i'm ok w the $.

Linda's version of When Will I Be Loved went to #1 on Billboards Country Singles chart and #2 on Billboards Pop Singles chart in 1975. Sadly, todays charts and radio playlists can't seem to handle something this good!

Nah. Yoko keeps him working and looking like a fool with the dyed bad cut long hair. If he was in his right mind he'd be hunting elk this time of the year. Poor guy is shackled and chained and hasn't got the balls to get out from under the oppression. Just because it has a fiddle doesn't make it country by the way. This is Hollywood studio musician drivel.

Thanks for the video! I'd have given anything to be there. I thought about it all day yesterday but just couldn't be there. Been a John Fogerty fan since the early CCR days. My wife and I saw him in Atlantic City a couple of years ago and we still talk about it like it was yesterday. I hope "When Will I be Loved" gets promoted like crazy and becomes a big hit.

The new album is great.
