One of Fogerty's other sons, Tyler, hit the stage for a frantic duet on Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly," and a scorching version of the Sonics' "Psycho" was an unexpected treat among the slew of familiar Creedence songs.

Fogerty was an affable frontman, introducing all his band members and giving them plenty of time to shine. But the 73-year-old is clearly still the star, and one in remarkable form. His voice was pretty strong throughout, his guitar work reaching some incredible heights, and he ran around the stage like a frontman far younger.

He encouraged the audience to support America's veterans before playing "Love and War," a song he co-wrote with Brad Paisley that definitely slowed the momentum for a few minutes before he launched back into a run of five straight Creedence classics. That's a pretty minor quibble for a show that was pretty much a blast start to finish.

It has been about five years since I last saw Fogerty, and I wondered beforehand if maybe he'd lost a step. After watching his energetic show Tuesday, those concerns are dead and gone. He remains a must-see, and an American classic capable of putting together a show full of hits few of his peers can match.
