Title: John Fogerty "Revival" Post by: Rocker on October 28, 2007, 03:57:09 AM What do you think about his new album? I haven't heard it completely yet but I think I'll get it in the next weeks. Seems like the title is well-chosen. Watch him do two songs at Letterman here:

Not great, but certainly not bad either. It is much better than his last effort, "Deja Vu (All Over Again)", but nowhere near as good as "Blue Moon Swamp" from before that.
Title: Re: John Fogerty \ Post by: Rocker on October 29, 2007, 12:02:41 PM I just bought "Deja vu" today (with Tony Joe White's "Heroines") and I like it, but it's kinda a relaxed album. I guess I like Blue Moon Swamp better myself, but I look forward to listen to Revival. I already know some tracks and they are really good. Thanks for your comment

i agree with you on deja vu and blue moon swamp. saw him twice back in '97 and '98. great shows. i see him in indianapolis, ind the 1st weekend in december. with a little luck i will have a tape of that show. maybe it will even turn out good. and i like the new cd a lot. Title: Re: John Fogerty \ Post by: JimC1702 on October 30, 2007, 07:28:40 AM I've seen John in concert twice. The first was the "Promonition" tour, the second was "The Long Road Home" tour. Both were excellent.
I like the new CD "Revival" a lot. Some people don't like the "preachy" anti-Bush songs, but I think it's important for artists to speak out about the insanity of war.

Wether people like it or not, that's what Fogerty did his whole carreer, so I think nobody should be surprised or offended. Title: Re: John Fogerty \ Post by: donald on October 31, 2007, 12:06:51 PM I went straight out and bought Deja Vu when it was released. I listened to it 5 or 6 times. Just didn't do it for me.
Rhubarb Pie was the only thing that caught my imagination. Might put it on a compilation. I'll have to hear this new album 1st after my experience with the last one. Title: Re: John Fogerty \ Post by: Steve Mayo on December 02, 2007, 04:24:34 PM just got in from seeing fogerty in concert at indianapolis, ind last night. sold out show and he played over 2 hours. and he rocked hard, a lot harder than when i saw in in '87 and '98. the new songs sounded great live also. one nice thing about his web page is they post the setlist from each show.
if you have a chance to see him live on this revival tour be sure to go. one good one this show is...... |
