 JOHN FOGERTY "THE LONG ROAD HOME" DVD December 3, 2008
THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING GUITAR AND BAND ROCK & ROLL CONCERT DVD!!! JOHN FOGERTY AND HIS BAND PERFORM EXCELLENT VERSIONS OF CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL SONGS, ALONG WITH SOME NEW JOHN FOGERTY SONGS!!! JOHN AND HIS BAND PERFORM AT THEIR BEST AT THIS CONCERT FILMED SEPTEMBER 15,2005 AT THE WILTERN THEATER IN LOS ANGELES BEFORE A PACKED ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD!!!
THE SET LIST CONSISTS OF 26 SONGS, ALL VERY WELL PERFORMED!!! JOHN USUALLY HAS A STORY TO TELL ABOUT ALMOST EVERY SONG PERFORMED. JOHN IS AN EXCELLENT GUITARIST!!! PLUS, HIS BAND IS VERY GUITAR ORIENTED AND THEY PLAY VERY WELL!!! TOTAL RUNNING TIME IS APPROX.100 MINUTES!!!
JOHN TALKS ABOUT HIS LIFELONG FASCINATION WITH THE GULF COAST AREA OF THE UNITED STATES, PARTICULARLY NEW ORLEANS AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER!!!
JOHN AND HIS BAND PERFORM AND OUTSTANDING VERSION OF "BORN ON THE BAYOU"!!! (THEY THROW IN SOME EXTENDED GUITAR SOLOS INTO THE SONG, MAKING IT BETTER!!!) ANOTHER GREAT ONE IS "DOWN ON THE CORNER" - AGAIN OUTSTANDING!!! THEN THERE'S "UP AROUND THE BEND" AND OF COURSE "PROUD MARY" (A SONG ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WITH A POSITIVE MESSAGE ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE REGION - "PEOPLE ON THE RIVER ARE HAPPY TO GIVE"!!!
EVEN THOUGH JOHN IS FROM CALIFORNIA, I THINK HE HAS A VERY GOOD APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND CULTURE OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND NEW ORLEANS REGION!!!!
BEING FROM LOUISIANA MYSELF, I CAN REALLY APPRECIATE THE GREAT SONGS THAT
JOHN HAS WRITTEN AND SUNG ABOUT CONCERNING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER (AND THE GOOD PEOPLE ON THE RIVER ARE HAPPY TO GIVE), AND ESPECIALLY THE SONG "BORN ON THE BAYOU"!!! "BORN ON THE BAYOU" IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN AND RECORDED. THANKS JOHN!!!
JOHN REALLY HAS A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE MISSISSIPPI AND NEW ORLEANS REGION. THIS CONCERT WAS FILMED NOT LONG AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA AND JOHN EXPRESSES HIS SADNESS FOR THE NEW ORLEANS REGION. HE STATES "THAT HE TRULY LEFT HIS HEART IN NEW ORLEANS"!!!
OVERALL, THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING CONCERT DVD, AND JOHN IS REALLY "INTO IT", PERFORMING EXCEPTIONALLY WELL, AND TALKING TO THE AUDIENCE VERY WELL!!! FOLKS, THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE A CLASSIC AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! THANKS JOHN FOR THE EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND FOR YOUR SONGS ABOUT MY REGION OF THE COUNTRY!!!
 Too fast November 17, 2008
The video and sound is good and clean but the band runs through the songs too fast. I mean the tempo is much faster than the studio versions. It just seems like they want to get the show finished as soon as possible. I don't think it is Fogerty's fault. They do play all the hits however. The Premonition concert is better even though it misses a number of classic songs.
I LOVED this concert! John Fogerty "Rocks"! August 31, 2008
Spent a great evening watching this DVD concert. All the songs are good ones, no useless filler. He sounds great and just sang one hit after another. You knew the sound or tempo was about to change as he reached for a new guitar or harmonica. The back-up band was really rocking and enhanced the performance. He sang many Creedence songs and did it well. I would highly recommend this DVD. You can't go wrong.
John Fogerty is still awesome!!! August 26, 2008
He is still one of my favorite artists. It is a shame that the industry was a cause for us to lose his ability for so long. My favorite bands from his CCR days are the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Creedence Clearwater Revival. I can still remember when they became a huge success and had all of the singles and albums. As far as this dvd, it is fantastic. Living in New Orleans at the time, it was a welcome relief to watch this concert on HBO when it came on not long after Katrina turned lives upside down. Hopefully there is more to come.
Gread DVD - John still "has it" July 29, 2008
This DVD is a great accumilation of John Forgerty's individual talent, plus great remditions of the Credence
Clearwater days!
