All in all, that's 23 songs in 1 hour and 40 minutes. 14 CCR songs and 6 numbers from Blue Moon Swamp. Exactly the same set as in Roskilde (?).
First of all I have to say the sound was terrible! I bet the sound was better at Woodstock some 28 years ago!
Kenny Aronoff is a big mistake, he plays too much and too loud! And he looks like a madman behind his drums! Also I'm sad to inform you that John missed a great deal in his (often too long) guitar solos.
He was in good voice, though. Songs like Shade and Hot Rod Heart were much better than on the Blue Moon Swamp album.
And he sure is in good health for a 52-year-old!
Worst songs were his renditions of Southern Streamline and Before You Accuse Me.
An average concert jaded by poor sound. See you in November, John! (And then I'd like to hear songs from Pendulum!)
