Music and sound was great! My wife was in a wheel chair. The staff was great, but wheelchair seats awlful. Peaople were standing most of the show. If you put the wheelchair seats up on the cabana area, that would solve the problem. At least the wheelchair people could see from the cabana area without people standing in front of them.

John Fogerty Biography
John Fogerty (born John Cameron Fogerty, on 28 May 1945 in Berkeley, California) is an American singer and songwriter, best known for his time with the roots rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Fogerty’s rise to fame came in 1968, when John, together with his brother Tom, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, released their first hit song “Susie Q”, thus launching their band CCR to stardom. While in Creedence, John Fogerty proved to be not only a great vocalist, but a capable songwriter and guitarist. CCR became one of the most popular rock bands of that time.
However tensions within the band flared in 1971, causing John's brother, Tom, to leave the band. John demanded that Stu Cook and Doug Clifford write and sing one third each of the next album, Mardi Gras. Unfortunately Mardi Gras turned out to be their last album as Fogerty bought himself out of his contract and officially left the band to start a chart-topping solo career.
He started with Blue Ridge Rangers – a 1973 debut album consisting of covers of great, but somewhat forgotten, blues songs. In 1975 John Fogerty, the first album to feature original material, came out, with two songs standing out in particular: the rock musicians anthem “Rockin’ All Over the World” and “Almost Saturday Night”. In the same time CCR’s former label president filed the first of many lawsuits against Fogerty, for sounding too much like his original band.
This slowed John's career down a bit, but he managed to return with a triumph in 1985’s Centerfield – a classic, featuring number one singles like “Old Man Down the Road”, “Centerfield” and the sarcastic “Zanz Kant Danz” (later renamed to “Vanz Kant Danz” to avoid another lawsuit), which was aimed at John’s ex-label Fantasy Records owner Saul Zaentz.
Fogerty’s next release the Eye of the Zombie turned out to be a complete failure in sales, most notably because of its pop-oriented sound, which wasn’t exactly what the fans expected. After this disaster Fogerty disappeared until 1997, when Blue Moon Swamp was released, followed by his first live album Premonition in 1998 and Deja Vu (All Over Again) in 2004 . Most recently John Fogerty came back to fantasy Records to record The Long Road Home – a “Best of...” compilation.
