Stonecutter: This is a very rare Fogerty piece,esp in this quality. Got this one at the time from someone who already could make stereo copies! This was first shown on pay cable back in 1985. John had recently "comeback" and had his killer "Centerfield" out at the time. Fans were thrilled until John announced he still wasn't going to play any Creedence stuff,ever. As it turns out,the album was a huge hit and it might not have mattered as much,on the upcoming tour,if had been willing to play some solo hits,like "Almost Saturday Night " and "Rocking all Over the World". Not those or any of the Creedence covers either,"Midnight Special"etc... So before the tour started,John wanted show where he was at,musically at the time. Sadly this didn't turn out to be such a good thing. The album he had just made, didn't seem to interest him very much for live material and in the special,he plays exactly one song from it! Needless to say,that combination was not very winning with the fans,at the time. He had stepped out of the shadows ,right into the past! He hadn't moved on,emotionally from his recent past and sadly it would continue to haunt him for another 12 years! He cracked in 1987 at a Vietnam Vets Benefit but ,he still wasn't really ready until ,finally in 1997,he once again became JOHN FOGERTY, a king among songwriters and rock singers and ,at last,takes his rightful place in the royalty of rock. Playing the shit out of the oldies and writing good new material as well. I saw this special when it was 1st on. I did actually like it but ,you couldn't help but to be disappointed. I already knew John wasn't going to play any CCR but , his lack of interest in the new lp was a shock. Not even a live "Old Man Down the Road" ,you know I mean. I saw the tour ,the following year and it really was more of the same,a missed opportunity to be great,to be just ok,sigh,John just wasn't ready. Watching it now ,from a distance,it's kinda of a cool time capsule,of John in 1985. Plus you get to stroll down memory lane with him ,as he lives out his personal dream, of doing some of his old all time favorites,with a killer band. Played among ,more recent stuff,this one takes you to a place in John's long musical history,that he rarely visits and , on this one,you can go with him. One of his most unique and personal pieces of film. Enjoy Rich B.
A truly wonderful show...
Thanks stonecutter and kingrue
