I'm sitting here watching John Fogerty's "Long Road Home" concert in HD again this morning, and Fogerty still absolutely kicks-ass (I know it's from a couple years ago) I love how he changes guitars on every song, and just nails every song.
He's a great guitarist singer/songwriter and a hell of a frontman to boot. I grew up listening to CCR and they were very influential in my life musically. He'll be turning 63 this May, so definately belongs on the old farts that rock list.
He's not alone either. A number of artists perform later into life. Name one you think is worthy.
