I do the on-line I-tunes thing at Apple so I'll be able to check out the new album. I'm cautiously optomistic. |

As long as you don't go "Behind the Music", he's okay. |

Don't think he ever played Ovations. |

I watched it, good pickin' and singin', lots of CCR, no obvious politics though I thought I heard some audience boos. All in all, a good show with good musicians and songs.
CCR was a way out band to me in the 60's but I liked their songs.

Location: NJ | the boos were in reference to when they asked a trivia question of who inducted John in to the rock and roll hall of fame. The answer was Bruce Springsteen, remember this show ws shot in New Jersey and when a crowd chants brUUUUUUUUUce it sounds like Booo.
Fortunate son was the only political statement I heard and that was written 30 plus years ago. |

There are a handleful of rock songs in this world that I really dislike with a passion..."Center field" is one of them.
Could have something to do with my lack of interest in baseball, but I don't think so. |
