JOHN FOGERTY  Royal Albert Hall, London 23 June 2008

What a disappointment - after his great performance at Wembley last year when he stormed through great songs non-stop I was expecting a lot at the Royal Albert Hall but it was an ersatz performance spoilt completely by the fact that it was recorded for a DVD.

The set was lame, the 'jokes' and comments incredibly showbiz and corny and too many songs for 'lets do something different for the DVD sales'.

There was a 30 minute break after 30 minutes so John could change his makeup for the DVD - any momentum building up was lost - the DVD film guys were prancing round the stage all night.

John, if you want to make money then don't do it by charging fans full price (it cost £85 for 2 tickets) so they can see you perform averagely and help you make a DVD for sale.

The DVD guys desperately went round inviting selected members of the audience to go to the front and act excited for 2 hours so the DVD looks good! - they even asked 'do you know the words to CCR songs/'!!)

There were lots of negative comments from the audience all saying the Wembley and Glastonbury performances were great but this was really poor. What a shame!
