Not much 'regaling' from Fogerty, the man hardly speaks ! And I don't if anyone near where I was (row M block 101) felt the same about the sound, but in that part of the arena - it was strangely poor. What was it like on the floor at the front of the stage ? Chris ? Or in block 112 - another Chris (Egan) ?
I think previous Fogerty excursions to the UK have produced much better shows, I am thinking of Wembley Arena about ten years ago in particular. Stunning.
I really enjoyed Steve Miller, but I don't know what happened with the sound for John Fogerty but there were sound recs pulling and pushing cables just behind the bass player for a good half an hour. What on earth was bringing his son on all about ? Sorry not to meet up but I don't think I could have managed a full circuit of the O2 during the break. Glad to have seen Fogerty though, but a bit disappointed to be honest.Quote

Yep, he did indeed. I guess he's entitled to play it on that basis! Still didn't sound quite right though......

Anyone else go to this ?
I thought Steve Miller was simply fantastic. It was a joy to see him here in London, the set was great, he might be getting on in years - but remains as good as ever.
I have seen John Fogerty several times now here in London over the last ten years or so, but last night I found massively disappointing. Didn't really rate the band, most definitely did not rate the guests, and I also thought the sound was badly off. Way too loud, and very trebly and curiously muddied. All in all, very poor as compared to previous London performances.

Can't believe you didn't enjoy it Paul. For me it was one of the top 10 gigs I have seen in my life - that good. Having his sons in the band, particularly the one who played guitar, was an absolute joy to see.
I guess you must have had a lousy ticket. I was lucky enough to be in the front row so that perspective always helps. I have seen bands there from way back in the nose bleeds like the Stones and Prince and the sound just doesn't translate.
Here's a vid I shot -
