"VH1 will air the
world premiere of the "Premonition" concert film -in a special 9O-minute
version- on June 6. It'll be immediately preceded by a new VH1 "Legends" program
focusing on Fogerty and his life in music. "Premonition" will air extensively
(in a 60-minute version) on VH1 over the next several months. Two videos drawn from the
concert, "Premonition" and a classic Fogerty song from his Creedence repertoire
(track to be determined), will begin airing onVH1 two weeks before the premiere. VH1 will
also be airing promos to set-up "Premonition," beginning one week prior to the
premiere. PBS will also be broadcasting "Premonition" in late summer. "Premonition" is the album's first single, hitting radio in mid-May. A multi-format major promotional campaign is a certainty.
"Look for extensive media attention surrounding the release of the album. John has been in the spotlight continually since the release of Blue Moon Swamp last year: he's made four separate David Letterman appearances, two Jay Leno guestings, taped critically acclaimed episodes of VH1's "Storytellers" and "Hard Rock Live," toured extensively in North America and Europe and received incredible press notices. With the added luster of his recent Grammy win, combined with recognition for John as a composer (The National Association Of Songwriters 1997 Lifetime Achievement Award), an instrumentalist (The Orville Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award) and as an in-concert phenomenon (Performance magazine's Theater Tour of the Year), the John Fogerty juggernaut continues with visibility assured for the foreseeable future.
"As a run-up to the release of the new album and VH1 premiere, John will be making two back-to-back appearances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival this month, serving as a prelude to a massive U.S. tour that begins in June and runs throughout the summer.
"A companion home video of "Premonition"-including four songs not included on CD and cassette versions- is also available. Laser disc and DVD versions will be released one month later. CD ADVANCE 2-46908-AB |
