Totally Awesome
Th new release, Revival sounds strong on the brief listens that I have given to date. Its just amazing that we are in the year 2008 and John Fogerty is still putting out fantastic music. However, the live recording The Long Road Home is just phenomenal.

There is an excellent mix of classic Creedence tunes and solo material. John varies the arrangements slightly from song to song. Some tunes are shortened some are lengthened. An all acoustic De Ja Vu All Over Again is very touching. I love the bouncy delightful Looking Out My Backdoor especially when substitutes tangerines and Elvis are singing with the band on the second bridge. I especially enjoy the banter John does between songs. It gives the CD a very intimate feel.

Everything works for me on this release. Soe complain about the songs being too fast or the drummer adding excessive fills but truthfully those are all good things to my ears. The ability to evolve and vary arrangments is what keeps JOhn Fogerty fresh to my ears in this year of 2008.


Played too fast, too shakey
The songs were relics of the past and well crafted. Like many of you, I loved CCR. They were played at a very slow tempo, and that was a crucial part of their flavour and mystique.

Now we have this live recording called the "Long Road Home". It is obvious that John has aged. He can no longer carry the notes or the inflection that he did in CCR. So be it.

But, what I can not get past on this album is the frantic speed at which every song is played. The material loses its authenticity and becomes little more than a night out for those who wish to live in the past.

NO CREEDENCE TO THIS CONCERT!
John is the same ultimate professional - excellent singer/songwriter/guitarist. I read the other reviews, but had to hear it for myself. And I'm sure he liked hiring John Molo to accomapny him on drums. Now John is a very good drummer. But the extra fills, rolls, crashes kill the Creedence numbers. It sounds like a Las Vegas cover band with John playing this way. Doug Clifford was the right drummer for Creedence; he didn't overplay. This release is just okay. On the shelf next to the originals, I'll reach for Creedence every time, so what's the point in having/keeping
this concert cd? I guess it's kind of similar with the Beatles. The original recordings were so good, no matter how well Paul Mc. played Beatle tunes in concert, they never sounded as good as with the boys.
Plus the amount of time on the discs kind of cheats the public also.
My copy of this will go up for sale soon.


long road home
I've been a fan since I first heard Proud Mary back in '69 I think it was, and I still can't get enough of him. as usual,all Fogerty stuff is top notch to me. Hope he tours New Zealand again soon. There wouldn't be anything of his I haven't got. Cheers, Phil, New Zealand.


DON'T BUY
IF YOU ARE EXPECTING THE SOUNDS OF THE OLD CCR. . . . . . DON'T BUY! FOGERTY BUTCHERS THE OLD CCR SONGS. I WAS TOTALLY DISGUSTED AND WANTED MY MONEY BACK.
