Most people who didn’t buy CCRs debut album back in 1968 when this song first came out, never heard the 8 1/2 minute version of this song. (the long version is on the album) The song was so good that the label wanted to put it out as a single, but it was way to long for radio back then, so they chopped it up & cut it down to around 3 1/2 minutes, which was still to long for radio at the time, but John Fogerty refused to shorten it any more. So all most people ever heard was the short version on the radio & in later years on classic rock stations. But I did hear the long version once in 1969 on a college FM station, they always played deep cuts back then. I also saw the 8 1/2 minute version on a college bar jukebox box once.🎶
I remember album rock, including this version of this song. CHUM FM in Toronto switched from classical music to album rock, not long before this came out, around the time I started high school. One of the first songs I remember being played was Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant. I was sitting in a friends kitchen, reading comic books, and heard this song going and going. It was my intro to album rock! There was a lot of excellent music back then and it wasn't interrupted by commercials.
@@James_Knott I remember those days as well. I was living in a college town for a while around that time. The college stations would play the whole side of an album a lot. Then around midnight you could tune in to the big watt pirate radio stations, & hear the good shit that AM radio wouldn’t play. I heard a lot of good “Underground” music then. Thanks for your comment.
This and their version of “I heard it through the grapevine” head my list of music from my teens. I pity those who didn’t grow through the psychedelic sixties from a music appreciation perspective.
Loved the scene in Apocalypse Now as the PBR pulls up to dock in the jungle base with a USO band playing this song then a UH-1 Huey lands with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.
I guess you weren't around back in the late 60s & early 70s. Back then we'd often put on the headphones and turn the lights down to listen to music. Some people smoked something they weren't supposed to. 🙂 Back then, songs were often released in two versions, a short version, on a 45 RPM record for AM and a longer version on 33 1/3 album for FM. I remember when a Toronto radio station, CHUM FM, switched from classical music to album rock, just in time for this sort of music. I recall one day, when I was reading comic books in a friends kitchen, when we heard this one song keep going and going. It was Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant", which ran over 18 minutes and took the entire side of an album. Another long one is Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" at 44 minutes and took both sides of an album. Both of those are on RUclips. Then we get into stuff like Moody Blues, Emerson Lake and Palmer and so many others. Those were fantastic times for music. BTW, another reason for headphones was typical stereos weren't the greatest for audio quality. They were furniture pieces built more for look than sound quality. Headphones helped with that issue. I agree with that other post about In a Gadda da Vida. Fantastic music, though the vocals suck.
@@James_Knott I possess all of the above in Vinyl, have multiple turntables that work and even some 8tracks. I remember when the Beatles were still together…
@@bobconnor1210 While I still have a turntable and some albums, I haven't played it in many years. In fact, I only played something once in over 30 years. I started listening to music around the time the Beatles became popular with Beatlemania and the British invasion. I've had many cassettes, but never an 8 track.
Good old "album rock". Back in those days, they'd make a short version on a 45 RPM record for AM and a long album version for FM. I was 15 when this came out.

The question is, where did you get these isolated tracks? I knew about the existance of Mogg files extracted from the Guitar Hero games that included CCR songs. But this is certainly new
@@lessismore6062 Yes, I know the 8 minute version is on the debut album. I am referring to the MIX itself. The original one had lead guitar and bass hard-panned to the left with rhythm guitar, drums, cabasa, tambourine and vocals to the right (there's a section where vocals are panned to the left). But on this remix lead guitar is on the left, rhythm on the right with drums, bass, tambourine, cabasa and vocals in the center, no hard-panning. But after further listening, I assume that this person took the MOGG files that contain the isolated tracks from Rock Band 3 DLC (which is 4 minutes long like the single version) and combined it with the old mix
71 this year, Had All CCR Albums & EPs. This is Absolutely one of the greatest songs CCR Ever Recorded... Mix on the Album is Fabulous... This mix isnt very good, Hard to hear things other than guitar & voice... Thanx for trying though.
@@itcameoutofthesky good morning, its not my opinion. Im just pointing out that its difficult to hear all of the mid ranged instruments & voicings in this mix. i have a very good system but (even with my klipsch equalizer) could not bring up the volumes of all the instruments in the recording. Thankyou for replying & have a great day. 5:46 am 2/24/24
A woman I knew her old man called her Suzie Q and so did everyone else,but the way her old man said it she would be so mad at him Great to hear this Awesome song RIP Susan H ✌️❤️
This is The Song that I Love!! to Space Out on when I got a Great High on, from some Supreme Maui WoWii and Booze, and I throw My Headphones on, with the lights out,This and In a Gadda Davida, Long Version by Iron Butterfly, Awesome!!
Suzie Q was the daughter of Stan and Paula Lewis. Dale Hawkins, writer of the song, worked in Stan Lewis' record store at the time and he named the song after their daughter.
I'll be 83 in less than a month. This version of "Suzie Q" blew me away when it was released by CCR in 1968. I was in high School in 1957 when I first heard on the radio the original as played by Dale Hawkins.

Thats a rodnocker
I'm Ol' School and remember CCR messed with the beatles, don't tell anyone if you know 😮
This is without doubt, the very best recording of this track by this band. Very bluesy, love it.
The scene in "Apocalypse Now" that uses this song is fantastic though brief.
Most plyed tunes at Mr. Burger juke box in Elgin-- SuzieQ, Tuesday Afternoon( Moody Blues), On The Road Again ( Canned Heat) thanks for the memories!
Bayou sound! I was 15 when this came out, and it blew me away till this day!!!
Excelente amigo, muchas gracias... saludos desde Sonora, México 👍🙂👋

Yeah brother that was a great scene..✌🏻
It was Playboy
Ami ,CCR rossz nem lehet ,csak jó,és még jobb
This brings back SO many memories from the late 60s & 70s 👌
Absolute classic ❗
Wow, thank God for headphones, the separation is fantastic! I had no idea there was a "long" version!😮😮😮😮
Inte jag heller ....😎😎😎😎😎
We are, most of us, used to only having heard the “radio cut” versions of songs and not what ended up on the albums. In a Gadda da Vida for instance……

Gracias ami amigo Teke que me enseño a escuchar a los credence
Extended version.. excelente.. Perú
Wow, this is so awesome. Great !!!
When rock was a passion of what a mind created and put it to music. Sad to say nevermore and hate to see it disappear into the bygone ages.
Aun Reniego, y me Pregunto Por que por que se Separaron !! De haber continuado estarian un escalon por arriba de los Beatles?
Fu il primo disco che mi fece conoscere i CCR nel 1968 da allora sempre e solo Creedence naturalmente oggi c'è John
Idem per me.
John and Doug got their girlfriends to hit the vintage shops for this photo shoot.
Went to Florida Orlando walked a bit to some shops on international drive walked into a record shop bought a box CD set of CCR brilliant sound's
Comiensos del los 70s terminando la era psovodelica..

Altro gruppo storico che ti faceva ballare anche se non volevi ti trascinava Creedence favolosi

Played this on friend's 8 track driving to the Sierra mtns. for a great camping tRiP..

I was 15 when this came out.
It must've been a really different sound for radio when it was new on the scene back then. No echo, hypnotic drums, sleazy guitar riff!
Still love these guys
Awesome! Not too long. Love this! I graduated from WVU in 1979. My kids love classic rock too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The guys in the band were about 22 years old when they recorded this.

Amazing masterpiece from the summer of my years.

Tom Fogerty passed away on September 6th, 1990.
LOVE IT!!!
what are they chanting in the jam section?
Haven’t heard the long version for such a long time thank you.
And certainly not in real STEREO
Remix did you miss that part. That's not John Forgery, and sounds black. Otherwise the tune is good. Now let hear CCR.
@@louiscolborn6715 John who ?🤔 😂
@@louiscolborn6715 What are you talking about? That IS John Fogerty!

Yes.
Who was Suzie Q ??????

БРАВО КРАСАВЧИКИ !!!
ЭТО ВЫСШИЙ КЛАСС !!!
СПАСИБО !!!
Yea,I couldn't have it better.😊😊😊😊
I cut my teeth as a young guitarist on these songs.
It's REALLY difficult to copy Fogerty. He plays stuff in very unusual patterns.
👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nei.teimoso.amigos.baloeira.❤😊
I like your way you sing.... Suzei Q
CCR, unrepeatable guys unrepeatable music unrepeatable years... I'm 61, and still enjoy them . Thank you my friend. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 🙋♂️🍻

I graduated h/s during CCR's heyday ('72). Kids today don't have anything worthwhile to listen to. Sad.
I'm 42, from Australia. I enjoy listening to CCR. My eldest niece now 26, plays music such as this to her daughter now 3.
Thanks from Spokane. We got to take our world back.
Pura sonzera. Muito bom
one of my alltime favorite songs
This is good smokin' track
si fallecio en el 89

Danke, Robert ❤
This is great direct from the LP but I have yet to hear a satisfactory version on youtube, including this one.
This is a remix, not the LP version
