John Fogerty brought a storm of nostalgia, energy, and pure American rock ’n’ roll to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, delivering a powerhouse performance that reminded fans exactly why his music has endured for generations. Playing to a packed and enthusiastic crowd, Fogerty proved that even after decades in the spotlight, his voice, stage presence, and spirit remain unmistakably vibrant.
From the moment he stepped onstage, Fogerty set the tone with a fiery opener—his guitar slung over his shoulder, signature flannel in place, and that unmistakable grin signaling the crowd was in for a night of classics. The setlist was a journey through Creedence Clearwater Revival favorites and solo hits, highlighting the depth of his catalog and the timelessness of songs that continue to define rock history.
Fans were treated to thunderous renditions of “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Down on the Corner,” and “Green River,” each one igniting massive sing-alongs. The arena shook with excitement as Fogerty tore through “Centerfield” with the same spark that made it an anthem. His storytelling between songs—recounting early CCR days, family moments, and the origins of some of his biggest hits—added heart and intimacy to the night.
Backed by a tight, high-energy band—including his sons Shane and Tyler—Fogerty’s sound was full and electrifying. The chemistry onstage was undeniable, and the multi-generational dynamic brought freshness to songs that have lived in the American musical landscape for over 50 years.
Fogerty closed the show with a triumphant encore that left the crowd buzzing, proving that age has done little to dim his fire. If anything, it has only added depth, gratitude, and richness to his performance.
In Uncasville, Fogerty didn’t just perform—he celebrated. His music, his legacy, his fans, and the enduring power of rock ’n’ roll. It was a night that reminded everyone lucky enough to be in the arena why John Fogerty remains one of the greatest legends in American music.
