| John Fogerty joined by ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons in Tulsa! Iconic singer, songwriter and guitarist JOHN FOGERTY-who kicked off his much-anticipated national concert tour at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE Thursday, October 10 in Los Angeles-was joined Thursday, October 17 by Billy Gibbons of American blues-rock trio ZZ Top in Tulsa, OK, where both were performing sold-out shows at The Joint. They teamed up on the CCR classic "Born on the Bayou" and ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man." "The all-too-brief session will stand as one of the tallest highlights that's come down the pike in quite a while. Wow!" says ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons. "'Twuz killer diller. John & Co. certainly were on top of their game and the bonus of participation is quite the reward." On the month-long tour, which concludes with three shows at the Beacon Theatre in NYC (November 12-14), FOGERTY will perform his classic Creedence Clearwater Revival albums Cosmos Factory and Bayou Country for the first time ever in the U.S., along with other FOGERTY gems.
