Face Of Cheam

Over ten years since he cancelled a gig at London's Forum, we eventually get to see the man who wrote 'Rockin' All Over The World'. A solid two hours of a mix of rocknroll, blugrass and blues the man certainly delivered good value. John Fogerty is 61 and looked like he was having the time of his life on stage. We got all the Creedence Clearwater Revival classics (except Almost Saturday Night). Travelling Band was a perfect opener and through to set closer Proud Mary it was guitar based American RocknRoll. As an american, we did get an obligatory reference to Iraq before the acoustic Deja Vu, but it was the more rockier numbers that got the crowd dancing in the aisles such as Fortuante Son and Midnight Special, and obviously he could not leave out Bad Moon Rising, the only deprssing hoe-down written and used in every werewolf movie there has been since the 70s. Solid hillbilly fun!
