Man what an awesome night. First of all we had $45 reserved third section seats two rows in front of the lawn and me and my buddy were jamming while this family next to us just gave us sat there looking emotionless. So after the third song a seat usher came us and said "Can you guys see alright?" In which my buddy replied "yea we can see the stage amazingly well". Then to my surprise the usher pulled out two tickets for front row of the second section and said "Well I have two tickets for up front if you want them." So of course we excepted the offer and said many thank you's to the man. It was such a nice gesture. So we first ended up sitting in $70 seats for buying $45 tickets.

Now onto the show. Man was John in the fucking zone. Jamming and just overall looking young, fresh and rejuvenated. His voice sounded top notch and he told many cool stories, including one about Woodstock. I was worried after seeing the Thanksgiving NFL games last season and hearing his voice be so cruddy. He squashed my worries after he opened with Traveling Band and Bad Moon Rising.

    John is a fucking legend and I would give my left ball to see him live. Sounds like you had a great time and lucked out too. Sweet.

    Saw him down in Memphis at Mud Island about 11 years ago...he was spot on with his performance.

    Show him some respect and spell his name right ;)

    I love him...I always laughed that he got sued for plagiarizing himself because "The Old Man Down the Road" sounded too much like Creedence's "Run Through the Jungle."

    glad he sounded good! i saw him on leno or letterman awhile back when he was promoting his newest album and i thought he sounded like shit on the CCR song he played... definitely one of the BEST rock voices of all time though IMO

    eating an ice crean cone window shopping like a regular person...

    My face must have looked like what I was thinking "Holy sh** that's John Fogerty!" because he quickly walked away..
