Playing at Blossom Music Center Friday as part of his Outlaw Music Festival, the 90-year-old music legend fit in more than an hour of classics performed in a way only he can deliver.

OK, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement. Physically impossible, you say?

Nelson and his Family Band blew through more than 20 songs from his vast catalog that spanned multiple genres, including folk, jazz, blues, gospel and yes, country. There was something comforting about his performance. It felt like a trip down memory lane, even if you’ve never been there before.And maybe there’s a reason for that. Friday’s show came from the same template he has used for his shows for at least two decades, right down to opening with “Whiskey River” and having a huge American flag unfurl behind him right as the song’s first notes ring out. He even has many of the same players in his band, including harmonica player Mickey Raphael.

Having his son Micah Nelson, who performs under the moniker Particle Kid, also livened up the performance. Micah provided a steady rhythm guitar that freed up his father to wander a bit with his own playing. He also took the lead on several songs, with the most memorable being the original “Die When I’m High .”

”I just got my songs back and I’m very happy about that,” Fogerty told the crowd early in his set. “And I’m going to play all of them.”
