Roger Daltrey launched his 2024 North American Tour on Monday at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, Pennsylvania. The Who frontman billed the June trek as “semi-acoustic” where he would perform “Who gems, rarities, solo nuggets and other surprises.” Among those surprises on Monday was a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” in honor of the trio’s frontman John Fogerty regaining control of his publishing rights.

“This song is by a good friend of mine,” Daltrey said ahead of the CCR cover. “And his publishing was stolen 50 years ago by his manager.”

John Fogerty is currently on the aptly named Celebration Tour after winning back the rights to his songs in January 2023.

“Wonderful, wonderful songs,” Daltrey continued on Fogerty’s impressive catalog. “If you ever get to see John Fogerty, he’s the real deal. I’m sure you all know this song.”

Roger then fronted his band — which includes guitarist Simon Townshend, mandolinist Billy Nicholls, percussionist Jody Linscott, guitarist Doug Boyle, bassist John Hogg, violinist Katie Jacoby, harmonica player Steve Weston, keyboardist/accordion player Geraint Watkins and drummer Scott Devours — on CCR’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain.” Check it out:
