Hall of Famer Again Proves Himself, 10 August 1999
10/10
Author: Miqque from Colorado

Just a taped concert...in front of a record company crowd. One that proves why John Fogerty is in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. John carefully constructs songs, and plays them live as he wrote them. Steely Dan, Peter Gabriel and a few others have this type of perfectionism while constructing their music, yet are able to make it vital, exciting, and fresh when performed.

Warner Brothers has two excellent Fogerty concerts performed in-house. "John Fogerty's All-Stars" (which should also be on DVD, but with John's history there are no doubt legal snarls with the various artists) and now "Premonition". "All-Stars" featured a band with names like Duck Dunn, Booker T., and clunky interview segments with some snotty kid (George Thorogood). In that vein "Premonition" features the Fairfield Four brought on for backing vocals on "110 In the Shade", and other singers for other tunes. "Almost Saturday Night" and "Rockin' All Over the World" finally show up on U.S. release from the available-imported "John Fogerty" album. Nothing shows up from "Eye of the Zombie", nor, again, is a saxophone player to be found (a lack that weakened the "Zombie" tour). The backing band is seamless, and Kenny Aronson on drums is stellar.

Pleasant stage dressing (a swamp, of all things); enough camera movement to maintain interest with only a few inappropriate shots; all help the music remain the central focus - which is as it should be. This is not a world-changer. It's a full-ahead rock concert by a master.
