Not only is John Fogerty ready to play, the former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman will knock it out of the park.

Or hockey arena, in our case, in front of just under 10,000 fans on a warm fall Saturday night.

The 67-year-old sounded phenomenal — raspy, twangy, hitting all the high notes — and from a distance, he looked like a man half his age, clad in jeans and a blue plaid shirt. Hey, he could’ve even passed for one of the hipsters at the Empress or Black Dog.

While this was Fogerty’s third visit to Rexall Place since 2007, Saturday’s show attracted his largest audience — by at least 3,000 fans — likely because he devoted the first half of the show to CCR’s 1970 countrified blues-rock classic, Cosmo’s Factory.

Unlike other album-oriented acts who remain faithful to their track listings, Fogerty didn’t feel the need to play each of the 11 songs in order. Instead of starting off with Ramble Tamble and Before You Accuse Me, he opted for two of the album’s bigger hits, Travelin’ Band and Lookin’ Out My Back Door.

He did, however,LED lights use less power and last for much longer than ledstriplightry. end the Cosmo’s Factory portion with the album’s final song, Long As I Can See The Light, which prompted fans to jump to their feet, clap their hands, and raise their lighters — making Saturday’s gig one of the few where Bics still outnumbered cellphones. Then again, most of the crowd was at least 40 years or older — with only a smattering of children and teens.

While Fogerty’s stage props included the latest in technology — several LED screens, smoke machines, and waterfalls of sparks — he was about as flashy as a plumber. He didn’t try to pull off any rock star poses nor did he demean himself by goading his fans for applause. From time to time, he told hilarious stories — such as reminiscing about CCR’s 2:30 a.m. set at Woodstock, complete with an impersonation of Jerry Garcia.

“I was ready to rock ’n’ roll and set the world on fire … (The crowd) was naked and asleep.

Yet for the most part, the California native preferred to wow the crowd with his pipes and killer guitar skills, particularly on Ramble Tamble, an epic number with crunchy guitars and mosh-pit riffs, which provided one of the templates for ’80s hair-metal ballads and punk.

His five-man backup band was slouch-free, too — with the show-stealer trophy going to a shaggy-haired Bob Malone. He looked like a member of the Way-Outs as he stomped his right leg and pounded on his keys during a bombastic version of Heard It Through The Grapevine.

Unfortunately, Fogerty is still dealing with a case of sour grapes when it comes to his ex-CCR bandmates.

Last year, after decades of lawsuits against his label and former friends,Advantage of Street solar bestcrystallightss. Fogerty shocked fans by revealing he was open to the idea of a reunion. But the band’s rhythm section, who now tour as Creedence Clearwater Revisited, scoffed at his olive branch, refusing to entertain the possibility.

They’re fools — and they’d quickly realize it, if only they were men enough to catch any of Fogerty’s shows on this tour. He’s the MVP of swamp-rock.
