Fogerty has been in and out of Memphis a good deal though. He was tight with the Phillips, and he took many a trip down into the delta. He said that Memphis was a good place to lay low.
The statement that Fogerty "hasn’t played in Memphis in almost 30 years" isn't accurate. I saw him at Mud Island in 1997 on his Blue Moon Swamp tour. Surprisingly, that's the last time he's played in Memphis.
I saw him in Tupelo in October 2013, and he's been in Nashville and St. Louis several times over the last few years.
He turns 70 this year and still plays with the energy of a 25 year old. He's a must-see.

I think I've seen him at the Mud Island Amphitheater at least twice.
I agree completely with the show he puts on.

I'm guessing you saw him there in '85 when he opened his Centerfield tour at Mud Island? I was only 10, so I missed that one. But I've seen him 10+ times since '97, and he has never disappointed.
He tears through a nearly 30 song set for 2 - 2 1/2 hours, so you get your money's worth. I hope I have that much energy at 70.
I always thought the Beale Street Music Fest would be a perfect match, so I'm glad it's finally happened.

1985 it was, The Centerfield Tour. It was way better than I thought it would be. As a pretty hard rocker in my day. I never acted like I liked CCR, or Fogerty. That concert got me as a fan. He works hard, and it's really good. I have been a big fan of his since then.

I was never a huge CCR fan but damned if I don't think Ramble Tamble is an awesome song.

RE: 2015 MIM Beale St Music Festival Lineup Announced
This looks like a really good lineup
If you can't find a band you like on there then you don't like music
