Saw John Fogerty last week.

In manhattan. It was amazing to say the least. He's on tour again for his new album, which by the way is very good. We had to wait online for like 3 hours, but we were near the front. The standing area was in front of the mezzanine so I was only like 20 feet away from him during the concert. After waiting another hour in the place, the concert finally started. The pain in my legs immidiatly dissapeared and I was so excited. Unfortunately being on the floor you will encounter some pushy people. Like this guy who almost knocked me to the floor because he wanted to be in the front row. He's all like "I am the biggest fogerty fan, so I deserve to be up front." As am I, what did you think I came here to see, the stage lights.

It was most defanantly worth it though. He did songs both new and old. A huge amount of rocking guitar solos. And eventually John himself started shredding on his guitar. It was so cool. The concert lasted about 2 hours, so by this time we had been standing up for 6 hours. The pain had started to come back again, but we pulled through. Me and my dad walked to our car and drove home from a very satisfying day. That following tuesday I got John Fogerty's new album Revival. I really liked it.

Of course, none of this would have happened if it weren't for the radio station Q104.3. I have to give a special thatnks to them for giving us the tickets to see him. Radio stations is basically the only way I can get to concerts now, seeing as how the prices for concert tickets have dramatically raised in the past 5 years. This is mostly due to scalpers. The concert planners see how much people are willing to pay for tickets, so they take advantage of that. It's too bad that oncerts have to be so expensive now and days.

This is unforgettable experience will be hard to beat. Mabe if I were to see David Bowie or Paul Mcartney. I am so glad I was able to see John Fogerty and here him do an awsome performance. By the way, if you don't know who he is, I'll show you a video link here.

I suggest watching both, as they are both amazing songs.
