Maybe it was both - legal issues and a pissing match with management?
I do remember reading somewhere in the mid/late 80s that Bruce Springsteen told Fogerty that he had to start performing Creedence songs again or else people would think Tina Turner wrote Proud Mary. So Fogerty dipped into the CCR catalog at Farm Aid or some other big benefit concert.

Correct, but it was actually Bob Dylan that told him that.

This was his first extended set of CCR songs. He had played one CCR song with Dylan prior to this Vietnam Vet benefit.
