This is John Fogerty back touring in 2005. You can get this on DVD ("The Long Road Home"), and it's worth it all the way.
He shows you...what he knows about Kansas City Blues.
He starts with guitar show off moves...that are subtle enough to be a perfect intro as he harks back to his
bluesy electric interpretation of Delta blues (which moved north first through Kansas City, then to Chicago, where a muddier sound fusion defined a sub genre).
Notice the pretty girl in the white tank top...at the 2:00 mark.....she's getting her groove back.
From Wikipedia:
....Fogerty traveled to Mississippi in 1990 for inspiration and visited the gravesite of blues legend Robert Johnson. According to him, there he realized that Robert Johnson was the true spiritual owner of his own songs, no matter what businessman owned the rights to them, and thus Fogerty decided to start making a new album and to perform his old Creedence material regularly in concert.[7][8]
It was at this time visiting the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church cemetery that Fogerty met Skip Henderson, a New Jersey vintage guitar dealer who had formed a nonprofit corporation The Mt. Zion Memorial Fund to honor Johnson with a memorial marker. Fogerty subsequently funded headstones for Charlie Patton, James Son Thomas, Mississippi Joe Callicott, Eugene Powell, Lonnie Pitchford and helped with financial arrangements for numerous others.[9]
