I'm only 27, but I was THRILLED when I found out John was coming to Portland, Oregon, and he was playing CCR songs finally. I actually worried that I would never hear him live, singing my favorite songs.
Well, the day came, and I was giddy as a schoolgirl. And when they started the feedback and crickets that begin Born On the Bayou, I started getting a little misty-eyed. I was that happy. But even then, it hadn't sunk in yet.
When he started playing Lookin' Out My Backdoor a few songs later, I again got misty-eyed. That was when I fully realized what was going on in front of me: John Fogerty was playing CCR live.
And it wasn't lost on me how cool it was that he was playing at a place called "River Queen".
