The Jonh Forerty played at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on November 14, 2025. In Boston, it was one of the best nights for old rock music in a long time. John Fogerty put up a fierce, emotive, and nostalgic presentation that highlighted why he is still a big name in American rock music. He talked about his long journey, his battles, and his final victory in reclaiming his music rights. This concert, part of “The Legacy Tour,” was not just a live show — it was a celebration of perseverance, family, and the timeless magic of Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). The sold-out crowd experienced a powerful tribute to Fogerty’s musical roots and the band that helped define rock between the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
A Celebration of CCR Classics and Fogerty’s Triumph
From the moment John Fogerty stepped on stage, the crowd at MGM Music Hall at Fenway erupted. Without wasting a second, he launched straight into “Bad Moon Rising,” a classic that has lived across generations and even resurged through films like An American Werewolf in London.
The audience barely caught their breath before he fired into “Up Around the Bend,” “Green River,” “Born on the Bayou,” and “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” each track revealing just how deeply CCR’s music still moves people. John Fogerty’s return to these songs held more meaning than ever before. After decades of losing ownership of his work, he finally regained the rights to CCR’s catalog in 2023 — a victory that made this performance feel like a long-awaited celebration of artistic freedom.
Fogerty’s Solo Gems Shine Bright
While the night was dominated by CCR classics, Fogerty also brought out the best of his solo career:
“Rock and Roll Girls” – light, lively, Springsteen-like energy
“A Hundred and Ten in the Shade” – slow, emotional, beautifully delivered
“Joy of My Life” – a tender ode to his wife
“Centerfield” – which hit especially hard at Fenway Park, Boston’s iconic baseball landmark
Each song reminded the crowd that Fogerty’s gifts as a songwriter didn’t end with CCR — they evolved.
A Family Affair: Shane and Tyler Fogerty Join the Stage
The night gained an emotional dimension with John Fogerty’s sons, Shane and Tyler, standing right beside their father on guitar. Their band, Hearty Har, also opened the evening with explosive garage-psych energy that set the tone perfectly.
Shane’s rhythm guitar and Tyler’s melodic energy amplified their father’s sound, proving they’re not just riding a legendary surname — they’re genuine talents.
Their presence strengthened the show into something more than a concert. It felt like a multi-generational victory lap, one John Fogerty had waited most of his life to take.
Deep Cuts, Guitar Mastery & Woodstock Memories
The setlist also honored CCR’s earliest years. Fogerty performed:
“Fight Fire” — from CCR’s pre-fame era as The Golliwogs
“It Came Out of the Sky” — electrified with spacey energy
“Keep On Chooglin’” — stretched into a fiery jam session
Fogerty even delivered a bold, impressive solo guitar spotlight, featuring tapping, harmonics, and tributes to Eddie Van Halen’s legendary “Eruption.”
The Woodstock era came alive with “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” as archival festival footage played behind him, reminding Boston of John Fogerty’s monumental place in music history.
A Thunderous Finale at Fenway
As the night reached its peak, John Fogerty brought out:
“Down on the Corner”
“The Old Man Down the Road”
“Fortunate Son” — delivered with raw political fire
For the encore, Fogerty raised a glass of champagne — celebrating the final night of The Legacy Tour — and then closed with:
“Travelin’ Band”
“Proud Mary” — the iconic CCR anthem
The crowd roared, sang, cheered, and celebrated the rock legend’s unwavering spirit.
