I don't know if I can add a lot to Rhonda's review. The concert was a lot of fun and the music was great. I have always loved CCR's music so seeing it performed live was a treat.
Tal Morris was amazing on lead guitar. And I know exactly what it was about him that attracted Rhonda so much *G* He was rather Joe-esque in the the way he handled that guitar and there was even something about his looks that reminded me of someone's favorite Eagle *G*
I was very impressed with how much John Tristao sounded like John Fogarty. Not exactly but so close that the songs sounded pretty much like the originals. He was very entertaining as well. He had an almost, shall we say, pornographic way of handling his guitar. He wore it very low slung and bounced it around a lot... and then there was the whole big man, big feet, big hands, big..... axe routine. It was very funny and his antics kept things light and fun.
I would have to agree with Rhonda that the people around us just did not have high level of enthusiasm plus we were packed in there like sardines. There was even one drunken jerk at the end of the row heckling the band. It would have made it even more fun if we had been surrounded by people that wanted to stand and clap and sing along. I did to some extent, but it felt kind of intimidating in those close quarters when the person next to you obviously got dragged there by his wife and resented it. I didn't let it affect me too much and still had a good time but then I am not necessarily a bouncing screaming maniac even in the right cirumstances.. LOL
