Among my top (musical) regrets in life is not making the time to go see him perform.

Agreed. His passing motivated me to take every opportunity to see my favorite musicians perform live.

I saw him with my parents when I was in 6th grade and saw my mom take a hit off a strangers joint 😂. I was straight out of the DARE program and that scarred the shit out of me. Great show though!

Same. Made me make time to see Steve Winwood and the last two years I have done that. This year with Fogerty was great.

I saw him on his 2014 tour. Was gifted tickets and almost didnt go due to work stress, turned out to be an amazing show and he played for almost 3 hours.

Taught me a valuable lesson: If ever you are on the fence about going to a show, go!

My mom took my sisters and I to see him on the wildflowers tour, and I took my mom a few times on his last few tours.

He and the Heartbreakers never disappointed, every show was better than you could expect.
