In a night that felt like pure rock ‘n’ roll magic, John Fogerty lit up the EartH Theatre in Hackney, London, with a live performance of his timeless hit “Bad Moon Rising.” The crowd roared as Fogerty, dressed in his signature flannel shirt and worn-in jeans, took the stage, guitar slung across his shoulder like a badge of honor. Backed by a tight, energetic band that included his sons Shane and Tyler, the 79-year-old legend wasted no time launching into the opening chords of the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic.
His voice, still gritty and powerful, carried every lyric with the weight of decades behind it. As he sang “Don’t go around tonight, well it’s bound to take your life,” the audience sang along in full force, their voices echoing off the walls of the intimate theatre. The lighting flashed with stormy blues and moody reds, perfectly capturing the song’s ominous warning.
With every strum and shout, Fogerty proved that his fire hasn’t dimmed a bit. As the final chord rang out, he flashed a triumphant smile, nodding to the crowd that had just witnessed a living legend in top form.
It was more than a concert — it was a rock and roll revival.
