John Fogerty, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Hearty Har

According to a recent Rolling Stone story, “The Biggest Band in America in 2024 Is… Creedence Clearwater Revival.” Wait… what?!? Yep, the band that peaked in popularity in 1969 has seen their greatest hits album Chronicle chart in the Top 40 all summer, which is higher than any other classic rock act including The Beatles. There’s something about the universal appeal of frontman John Fogerty’s songwriting that remains resonant across class, cultural and generational lines. It’s proof positive that his songs are timeless in a very literal sense. So whether you caught CCR live before the band disbanded way back in 1972 or are the grandkid of someone who did, seeing Fogerty rip through classics like “Fortunate Son,” “Born on the Bayou” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” should make for a fantastic (and oddly relevant) warm summer night at Spokane Pavilion.
