JOHN FOGERTY REVIEW:

2008 STAGE? COACH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL

BY JACKIE DEVEREAUX

INDIO, CA - The crossover mix of Rock-N-Roll with Country Music merged with a tremendous performance by John Fogerty Friday night at the 2008 Stagecoach Country Music Festival held here. The three-day music festival hosted approximately 60,000 people to hear 60 acts on three stages. Fogerty, formerly with the swamp rock and blues band, Credence Clearwater Revival, played energetically and looked terrific

showing that longevity

does bring maturity to the music business. His crisp guitar riffs and still powerful voice delivered the audience right into the Eagles lap, when they performed last at the Friday night Mane Stage. Fogerty, born in Berkeley, CA, was dressed in jeans and a blue cowboy shirt with a handkerchief tied around his neck. He sounded great from our front and center vantage point, (Section 1, Row 3, Seats 11 & 12). We were right up front and loved every minute of it. He started at 7:45 p.m. with "Born On The Bayou? followed by "Bad Moon Rising.? Fogerty joked with the crowd about being a grandson of Buffalo Bill Cody saying, "I still have this kid in me.? Fogerty reminded the crowd that he was at Woodstock in June 1969. "A half million people got naked, and I went home and wrote this song.? He played "Who Will Stop The Rain,? followed by "Looking Out My Backdoo;? "Down On the Corner;? "It Ain't Me;? and "Rolling On A River.?
