Why John Fogerty is STILL THE BEST - I'll Prove It to You

John Fogerty is an American treasure; make no mistake about it. Great voice, great guitar, original ideas and all-American.

One of my best memories with my Mom was seeing John Forgery on his 69 tour we were in row six, what a show!!! I will never forget it.

Fogerty's playing was always SO under-rated.

As a 53 yro retired pro musician with Nashville pedigree who's been blessed to sit at the feet & look into the eyes of the likes of Dylan, Cohen, James Brown & many other Legends, i was never a big CCR fan. But about 20 years ago i caught Fogerty opening for Willie Nelson & he blew me away! It wasnt the music for me. It was the fact that ive never seen somebody so happy just to play his songs. He'd played 75% of his set a million times, yet he acted like it was the very first & would be the very last time he would ever get the chance to play his songs for people. He was just a little kid who's dream had come true!😅 It was amazing to behold. Rock On, John! 🤘🌎❤️

I don't know if you will read this, but here goes: I'm not a musician. I cannot play (though I wish I could), I cannot sing, I watch Rick Beato and have no idea what he's talking about most of the time. But I love listening to music. I was never much of a CCR fan. I knew Fogerty's songs, but they were always "background music." I had zero appreciation. Then during Covid I stumbled upon his videos playing with his sons and daughter and I loved it. I started listening - really listening - to John play. A few weeks ago I also got to see him play on his tour. We had great seats in the "pit" right in front of him. Wow. I was impressed by his energy, his skill, and his joy. I hope the man plays right up to his last day. Wouldn't it be cool to be his neighbor and be able to hear him playing up the hill from your own front porch?

He definitely rocks out more than I thought he would at his shows.. Like you said, John and his son can flat tear it up live.

I've been a CCR and Fogerty fan since I first heard Suzie Q on a transistor radio in '68. I watch anything CCR related that you do.

So many iconic riffs and licks. More than that though... cohesive songs. Thank you for doing this video. Fogerty's genius is writing memorable melodic stuff that is not complex, but beautiful and forever embedded in our collective consciousness. Legit Americana.

My First Concert I went to was in Seattle,Age 15, C C R. Great Concert !! Played drums back then and learned some great drum licks from CCR . At 67 Still love listening and playing their music !!

So many great riffs! John Fogerty is such an amazing musician and composer🙏🎸.

He's one of the bests singers too.

I have the CD player in my truck loaded with all CCR. 70 years old and still can’t get enough.

Whenever I'm driving and a CCR song comes I still find myself thinking - jeeez, this is an amazing song. Thanks for highlighting his talents with these good tips.

Up around the Bend, has always been my favorite..what an intro!

Amazing classic riffs

The keyword for John Fogerty is memorable… Memorable guitar parts, chord progressions, lyrics, and singing… that’s why so many of his songs are classics.

Fogerty is a guitarist's guitarist, while still playing for the audience, as you stated. Saw him back in '98, front row, Melbourne Tennis Centre! 1 of the BEST shows I'd ever seen!

I started playing CCR in my 2nd rock band when they were topping the charts back in the 60's and 70's. Always loved them.

Simple, but so effective!

Great musicality. JF and Mike Campbell are the best for it.
