Rating: Summary: A Must Have Review: I'm biased - I love John Fogerty. Bias aside, even the greats put out duds now and then. This isn't a dud. It's the best of Fogerty's career. Lots of old favorites from CCR are included, some hits from Centerfield, and of course, some great new songs from Blue Moon Swamp.I'm buying this on DVD because I know I'll wear out the tape!
Rating: Summary: They don't get any better than this! Review: Fogerty and company have done a fantastic job on this DVD. The performance, sets, sound (PCM), photography, color, clarity, menus are all great. I can only review the PCM soundtrack, and it's first rate. This DVD is a very welcome addition to my collection.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Set List Review: John Foggerty who made a name for himself with his brother back int he 60's/70's "Creedence Clearwater Revival" had finnaly gotten his copyright back to own the songs he wrote with CCR and has perfromed them well on this show.
Some people have complained about the sound quality and faults, and even over dubbing... I dont know if I heard that on my disc or not? I do have the Regoin 4 version, but if its the same as R1 then I dont know what there on about? Maybe thats been corrected?
I owned the Video of this show when it came out, and the CD... and i'm glad to see that this show has had the cut songs put back into the show, espeicaly "Walking In A Hurricaine" and now the show is bigger and better with the full show on DVD.
There is not bonus features unfortuanlty, it would be nice to have some, but the show itself is great if you like John or his kind of music. But dont expect any pryo or props, thats not the kind of rock band they are. Just enjoy the music performed clearly, nicely, and well done.
Rating: Summary: excellent concert Review: someone said they perceived a lot of synching and abundant studio overdubs. This is not true. I saw John live at the Beacon theater in NY almost 7 years after this concert was filmed and the live show like this dvd performance is practically flawless. His CCR hits live, sound very true to their original studio tracks,something many big name bands fail to attain live, including recent famous ones like the Rolling Stones.
Rating: Summary: A Great DVD Review: I was so glad to see John Fogerty live and rockin' again. All you people who say that John was "lip-synching" on this DVD have no idea what you're talking about. I love the performances of songs like "Almost Saturday Night", "Rockin' All Over The World", and "Premonition" on this DVD. The only things I don't like about this DVD is that John had some much better (and longer) concerts on this tour. They say that the Creedence songs are so simple that anybody can play them, but the band John plays with sounds nothing like the real Creedence. Also, the DVD should have had some bonus features, like interviews, John's performances on Jay Leno and Letterman, VH1 Storytellers and VH1 Legends, and John's music videos, just to name a few. But other than that, this DVD is pretty enjoyable.
Rating: Summary: The best entertainment from one of rock's best Review: I never had the chance to see Creedence Clearwater Revival live, having been born after they split-up, so I was very happy to at least have their frontman captured on DVD. Neither the performance nor the DVD disappointed me (except for the cardboard case, because I hate those, and think they should be banned from production). This is a must for John Fogerty and Creedence fans; Mr. Fogerty gives the performance of his life on a great line-up of songs spanning his whole career, and shows that he can still rock at 50+. I'm not sure what more can be said, except, it plays great, it looks great, buy it!
