I lived near Toronto, Ontario, where one FM station had recently switched from classical music to album rock, including this song. I remember one occasion, when I was in a friend's kitchen, reading comic books and heard this song going and going and going. It was Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant".
Are you serious ,,,,this is one of the original takes ,,,just Awsome ,,,CCR....never received the stardom they deserved....in the late 60 ‘s they where competing with Zepplin,,,Sabath ,& Deep Purpil.....but WOW John Fogarty holds his own with the best....🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️🇳🇿Robby Aus
just can not get enough of this song this one and Born on the bayou i can play over and over because it takes me back to my wonderful teenage years.late 60s
I saw them at Charlotte Speed Street years ago. There were 2 good ole boys sneaking Wild Turkey in the crowd next to me, and when this song came on, they both played air guitar the entire song. They were so into it. It was probably the funniest most awesome moment and yeah, no video, it was like 2007,2008. I smile when I think if it. Anyway, every CCR song is phenomenal.
I just love to remember my youth. Listening to CCR, Simon and Garfunkel, The Animals, Moody Blues, and so many others. Oh how I loved the music of that day even though Jim Crow was a horror as was Vietnam.
i would like to thank all viet nam vets for all they sacrificed ....ive always felt a connection to this song an dont know why i was born in 73 .....love all the 60s era music
VIETNAM VETS WERE NEVER THANKED FOR ALL THEY ENDURED WHEN THEY DID THEIR TOURS...AND HAD NO IDEA (SOME) PEOPLE WOULD BE SPITTING ON THEM WHEN THEY CAME HOME....THAT LITTLE PIECE OF INTEL WASN'T IN STARS & STRIPES...!
all rock bands of 60 to 70 to 80 and so on have a distinctive sound and originality, then other bands thrive on that sound...rock n' roll is not dead. CCR is in the 60's 70's 80's and now I am playing and enjoy it in December 20 of 2015, its great to be here listening to great Artists. As good as it gets.
+giorgio portas I still have my CCR original albums. They were my favorite at that time and are still in my top 10 all-time favorites. Run Through the Jungle---great song---find it set to 'Nam video footage, Hueys, etc. Channel owner has a German name, it's a really good collage.
Mon groupe préféré, un son un rythme inimitables, une voix reconnaissable entre toutes... J'ai toujours leurs vinyles, et je suis heureux de savoir que mes enfants écoutent toujours Ccr !
This is the first time I have tars in my eyes because something is so overwhelmingly beautiful. I can't remember when was the last time I was smiling so honestly. This song is how bliss sounds
I knew a guy in Nashville, who once had a club on the river, in southern Tennessee, and he sold White Lightning, girls, poker machines, beer, package liquor, and he would have hired a band just like CCR to play in his Riverhouse. He made lots of money at this place. Back when Buford Pusser was trying to clean things up down there. I guess he even met him, or or twice. Anyway, CCR sounds very much like a band that would come from Louisiana, or maybe Alabama. Love their sound, and I'm from Califa!
wow, that lead in piece above is the understatement of all time! "...a number of successful singles..." - I'd say so!! Like the greatest three years of song writing and performing ever.
The Brothers I served with would get expensive stereo equipment and actually drag the stuff into the mud of a base camp. Sometimes, we'd be close enough to Saigon that if I threw one of those P.O.S "T shaped" antennas high enough up in the tress, we could get Armed Forces Radio at night. Those of us not on perimeter guard duty could just hang out and listen to music at night, and there were beautiful nights during the dry season - not counting the mortars and rockets. And, just sometimes, they'd play this long version of Suzie Q. It truly was the shit! Vietnam 1969
Hanginon together! yep, i too listened in 1969...from college campus stoned and young and oblivious to the real things that awaited me as i grew up from the "hippie culture"., have always been awed by you boys in VN- thanks for your patriotic well-meaning fight ("the good fight") for sure!. I know music did help all the boys sharing their youth over there, same as all of us back at home. Long Live Rock!
The families of the Army guys from California and Oregon and Washington state recorded local FM Stereo stations onto reel-to-reel high-fidelity tape recorders and mailed HOURS UPON HOURS of broadcast music to their sons in the former Republic of Vietnam. Dudes like me would beg and borrow the recorded tapes and make copies of them. I even bought a Dokorder double-stack reel-to-reel tape recorder to make copies faster at a high-speed dubbing rate. Everyone was jamming at night after flying most of the dawn and daylight hours on Huey slicks for the Americal Division's area of operation was from the town of Duc Pho to the DMZ. We played our music so loud that you had to have a top-notch stereo system to overpower the guy jamming nearest you!! I had a Pioneer amp boasting 200 Watts and FOUR (4) high-power Pioneer speaker system rated at 100 Watts each. Hooked to my amp was a Sansui reel-to-reel tape recorder with a built-in 8-track cassette tape player/recorder, a stereo cassette player system that held twenty (20) recorded cassettes that played sequenctially. I laugh at myself now; talk about overkill! I went whole hog on my stereo system. Looking back, I wish I had taken more photographs and somehow protected them back in the states. With all the moving around the United States after leaving Vietnam, the majority of my photos were lost never to be found again. I believe someone who disliked me destroyed them because of jealousy; I was wrong to mess with his girlfriend but I was that type of man back then -- I didn't give a damn about what was moral or not.
NOBODY Could Get Thru The 60's Without CCR!! One Of My Brothers Served Over There 68-69...He Came Home - PISSED!! - But He Came Home! That Flight Into San Francisco Alone Had To SUCK After All You Guys Had Been Thru! Thank You For Your Vietnam Service - Glad You Made It Back! And If NO ONE Ever Said It - Welcome Home!🇺🇸 (I Was NEVER Against The VETS - Some People Could Just Never Seem To Sort That Out...!)
+Barry Coad I truly never understood....who underestimated this? I surely did not, I played it time and again once I found out about it in the jukebox at my favourite bar.
simple,4 accords,le solo lent et facile,avec un feeling particulier,et je tiens compte qu'ils n'avaient pas les overdrive d'aujourdhui..efficace car j'ecoute la toune en rédigeant ce commentaire..John Fogerty est un icone trop souvent sous -estimé.Merci de me lire!
SUZYQ was the pet name I call my girl friend back in the late 60's as of Feb. 27th we have been married 47 yrs. I love her more now that I thought I did then. I love you Sue Monroe !!!!
I was born too late to be in CCR's generation, but I used to rock them in my car as a 17 year old in 1984, especially this longer version of Suzie Q. This song more than any other that CCR did meant so much to me at 17, especially starting at 6:50 to 8:02, I'd take my hands off the steering wheel and play air drum. Next on my list would be CCR's version of I heard it through the grapevine.
As I listen to this wonderful song, I notice the ad up on the right next to the video. It reads (in Spanish): Do you urinate frequently? Can't sleep? Have trouble "getting it up"? Don't worry! This'll help! They know who they're pitching to ...
Love the long version and how Fogerty used a “telephone box” to sound like Rudy Vallee - just an electronic filter to alter the human voice so it sounds like it’s coming through an old-style analogue telephone receiver. It fuzzes the voice and adds a sort of nasal quality to it, evident from the first words out of John Fogerty’s mouth.
The first time I ran across a CCR album the cover had a Confederate flag on it. I play the tape for the soul purpose to make fun of it. This was the first song to pop up and I liked it ....the rest is history.
The Beatles......CCR....The Beach Boys.... Santana.....Elvis.....The Greatest of Rock and Roll!!!!
❤🎸
My parents played CCR for me when I was a wee lad. Loved them then, love them now. And yes, this version is the absolute best.
Sure is
CCR will never be understood by the 'ME' Generation. You kids need to learn respect of undisputed awesome music!
Just hear that guitar gives me goose bumps
I can't sit still while listening to this! Anybody else experience that?
Marsha Snavely Its only natural to bob my head and pretend im playing the guitar solo.. Man am i high or what. Love this song
Oh yes . Unable to sit down . Dancing like an idiot here .
Best Suzie Q Ever!!!
During summer 67/68/69, I was a DJ, and CCR one of my favourite band !
We could only get this kind of music on underground FM radio stations when we mostly listened to AM radio.
I lived near Toronto, Ontario, where one FM station had recently switched from classical music to album rock, including this song. I remember one occasion, when I was in a friend's kitchen, reading comic books and heard this song going and going and going. It was Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant".

just can not get enough of this song this one and Born on the bayou i can play over and over because it takes me back to my wonderful teenage years.late 60s
I noticed that the older I get the more I respect and love CCR ! They have their own style and sound and it is timeless !
John Fogerty always sounds American to me. No doubt about it.
Masterpiece never gets old.
I was 4 when this song came out, and my oldest brother had ALL the cool albums. Used to rock the house and the neighbors with this one...
This came out t. e year I was born. Thankfully my parents played CCR when I was young
YEAH, BABY!! I Was Youngest Of Seven In The 60's & I Grew Up To All This Great Stuff - Especially CCR! I Think Suzi Q Was My Favorite!
Gracias me gusta mucho este tema, lo bueno de esto, es que no fue interrunpido por ninguna propaganda hablada..
What a GREAT band and sound...my favorite song...can never get tired of listening to it
I recall, back in those days, sitting in the dark, head phones on, listening to music.
I saw them at Charlotte Speed Street years ago. There were 2 good ole boys sneaking Wild Turkey in the crowd next to me, and when this song came on, they both played air guitar the entire song. They were so into it. It was probably the funniest most awesome moment and yeah, no video, it was like 2007,2008. I smile when I think if it. Anyway, every CCR song is phenomenal.
Suzi M loves Suzi Q . Blues rules .
This is the real rock! Memories of a golden age , miss Chuck Berry and John Forgethy !!!!
+Adriano gonçalves John Fogarty is still doing gigs.
John Fogerty :)
+Adriano gonçalves This long version is so cool !!
I agree... Chuck and John.... there are no bands like this now 😔....It is 2023...this is still one of the best ever
I joined the Navy in May of 1968 around the same time this song was released. I'll always remember this song at those times of my life.
Thank You For Your Service!🇺🇸 Glad You Came Back Home!
Greatest Rock Band from California!!!....and Louisiana!!!!
I just love to remember my youth. Listening to CCR, Simon and Garfunkel, The Animals, Moody Blues, and so many others. Oh how I loved the music of that day even though Jim Crow was a horror as was Vietnam.
This is the best mix on youtube. Best version - Must be mono or something. Cheers for uploading 🙏
I'd like to get this on a contiuous loop.

in 2019 I feel Good with C C R ! I love the way !! MERCI from France !
I remember this well. I was in grade 9 when it came out. Great guitar and drums!
I can still remember the first time I heard this, when a friend brought the album back from CA in 68.
Used to listen to CCR on 8 track while driving around drinking Black Label 12 oz keg shaped beers.
I love the drums of this song.
+brottarnacke check the percussion on the dale hawkins!! i like bothofem.
Such a huge difference between the baby boomers music compared to the so called Millenniums music immensely huge
best version of all the times..
This is the first time I have tars in my eyes because something is so overwhelmingly beautiful. I can't remember when was the last time I was smiling so honestly. This song is how bliss sounds
This is such an awesome song....CLASSIC!!
If I had to define rock & roll with one song, this would be the one.
I knew a guy in Nashville, who once had a club on the river, in southern Tennessee, and he sold White Lightning, girls, poker machines, beer, package liquor, and he would have hired a band just like CCR to play in his Riverhouse.

Love this tune............it always reminds me of my aunty SueAnne, who crossed over several years ago. Wonderful memories! thanks for the upload.
I love Suzy Q.
My favorite song.....I love Creedence Clearwater Revival music
CREEDENCE'S BEST!! A TOUGH SONG !!!!!
One of a Boomers 25 best of...played it, lived it.
wow, that lead in piece above is the understatement of all time! "...a number of successful singles..." - I'd say so!! Like the greatest three years of song writing and performing ever.
CCR rocks!!!
Always loved this one! Gets better all the time!
Still listen to them. Hippie days and now.

私はこの曲を友人が録音してくれた日本のTHE ROCK BANDというバンドの１９８６年に出したアルバム「アナーキー」に収録されているカヴァーで知りました。その後CCRのベスト盤のCDを購入し聴いていました。２０代前半のことです。非常に印象的なリフで好きな曲です。

In the bush during Nam.. song bring back a lot of good and bad tines.. blood and death
Semper Fi
my favorite drum intro that I can think of at this time.
I die and dissolve, arise and appear in the flesh to go to Nirvana during this long version
only problem with this song is it fades out TOO QUICK!!!! they obviously kept jamming!
Bought the original version by Dale hawkins , it kicked ass back in 57,
It's the best version , but this is cool also.
I love this song :) I haven't heard it in ages! Also I love that all my friends call me Suzie Q (cuz my name is Suzie) lol
