John Fogerty – Premonition -1997
I recently stumbled upon this live gem on youtube. How I never knew about this concert and live album before? No idea. If you love live music. If you love the songs of CCR. If you like a little solo Fogerty mixed in as well…this album is a must-listen.
For those unaware, following CCR’s ugly breakup in 1972, John Fogerty (due largely in part to legal disputes over the music) went decades without performing any of his classic CCR hits. By 1997 all was finally resolved and John was primed to bring those great songs back to life on the stage.
His guitar work and voice was absolutely exceptional here. His band was top-notch and dialed in. Superstar drummer Kenny Arnoff on the skins was a nice bonus too.
It’s one of those shows where you can just tell the performer isn’t mailing it in. Fogerty is fully committed here, and clearly digging the audience and the songs. If you’ve never heard this concert album, I highly recommend it!
