Do CCR's "Graveyard Train". many youtubers don't know this one because they are from the wrong generation - take it from an old guy (60+) this track is fire.
lol reminds me of when 8-track was state of the art. I was in my early teens. Sorry you guys missed it those were much better times except for no internet...I Noticed again you liking that bass. So again I'll recommend Grand Funk "Black Licorice" for some killer bass lines (and a funny lookin' bass player). Oh yteah it's all around a great song. The drummer is singing and never met a roll he doesn't like! Check this vid out I can't wait for your reaction! ruclips.net/video/wiEy3nbmjd4/видео.html
He was sued for writing new lyrics to a song that was 75% owned by someone else. The Old Man Down The Road is just Run Through The Jungle with shitty lyrics. John Fogerty is only a victim to his own ego.
I am SO proud and so glad to be a Baby Boomer. People born in the 50’s have lived in 7 decades, 2 centuries & 2 millenniums. We had the best music and the fastest cars. We had Drive-in theaters, soda fountains and happy days. And we aren’t even that OLD yet, we’re just that cool.
In my household CCR was always around and I was hearing from a very early age and when I got old enough to be able to read album liner notes I was shocked to find out that they were from the Bay Area! Shocked! I had just assumed all along that they were the Deep South - Louisiana or Mississippi or something
John Fogerty is one of the best songwriters in Rock n Roll. He produced many hits and his vocals always fit perfectly with the lyrical content. He is a master of his craft.
You want the CCR drumming apex: listen to their version of Heard it through the Grapevine, and make sure you have the full length version with the extended outro jam. Absolute lesson in rock and roll rhythm
As soon as the guitar riff came in you guys knew what they were gonna do. And they still did it better then you had imagined. It is rare when a song totally exceeds your expectations. But it's what CCR does best. That was a great reaction!
I was driving in SF one day back in c.2003-4 and a DJ came on after Suzie Q and said: "And there's John Fogerty, wailing away like no white man has a right to." I always loved that.
Steely Dan is a whole other rabbit hole to get lost in. It's not a band so much as a musical collective. It's like Fagen and Becker said "Who is the best guy I can get to do this part on this song". Steve Gadd's drums on Aja. Larry Carlton's guitars on Babylon Sister. Bernard freaking Purdie on Babylon Sister. Michael McDonald's backing vocals on Peg. So much good stuff there. These guys talk about getting lost in the sauce. Steely Dan is all sauce.
Alex & Andy, I can't stress this enough!! CCR "I Put A Spell On You". Guitars, vocals, drums, bass are all bangin!!! Do your boy in Tampa, and yourself, a solid and do this song. You'll thank me later!!
Another excellent suggestion, although I'm a huge fan of "Try a Little Tenderness!" Three Dog Night is definitely worth a listen. Brings back great memories.
I was a little concerned when, after your last CCR reaction vid, a lot of people (me included) were asking for "Born On The Bayou" next. It's because of its simplistic, don't take it too seriously vibe that I wondered if you two would find it not interesting enough, maybe too repetitious. Is it because I've been hearing it for over fifty years and don't really sit down and take everything in anymore? I still hear all of the cool nuances it dishes up, from the cowbell to John's little three syllable vocalizations at the end of the verses. But maybe I take all of that for granted, now. After watching you two have eargasms over it, and bobbing my head along with yours, I'm starting to get that certain tingle that washes through you when something special is played. This song is something special.
So agree. Ive been listening to SO many of these songs all my life that I suppose it's easy to start taking them for granted. But then watching A&A discovering them for the first time is simultaneously reminding ME just how great they truly are and becomes ALMOST like hearing them again for the first time myself.
“That cowbell makes it!” So in other words... Christopher Walken was right all along! “I gotta have more cowbell!” “Ive got a fever and the only prescription... is more cowbell!!!!!”
More cowbell …. Lol. Few know what we mean that are not our age. Keep this music alive guys. Please never let it die. I know my kids grew up on classic rock along with us. Went to concerts when they grew up with us. Keep on rocking guys. And Andy, keep that beautiful head of hair. My God most women are envious. ❤️👍🏻
Guys. You talk about guitar tone all the time. How about Black Magic Woman by Santana? There is no sweeter tone on Earth. You can pick him out from a million other guitarists immediately.
Excellent suggestion, although to fully appreciate it, you should listen to the whole of the first side of the Abraxas album - it sounds so much better that way.
A&A - Oh, Dude!! Lmao. This was beyond fun!!! It is perfection & am so thrilled you had such a blast w/ this. There's no one like Fogerty's guitar & vocals. Solid musicians/music!! Have a fantastic weekend, fellas! Still lmao! -- Lisa :)
Miss magnolia, sisterborn! Lake Charles Memorial hospital! I loved the way they reacted to this! And yes I I claim it as my song my momma was an okie yet my dad was a Ragin Cajun.😉so when I hear it I turn it up and yes my children son 30 & daughter 22 definitely knows that part of their history. Cheers to you my dear
Another band I think you'll love is Bad Company. Some of their songs: Bad Company, Feel Like Making Love, Shooting Star, Ready for Love, Can't Get Enough of Your Love....(Can you tell I like Bad Company?)
@@nanvolentine9110 I was 7 in 1969 and my Uncle Jimmy introduced me to this music that changed my life and I’ve been an amateur musician for 55 years and counting!
Yeah CCR rocks for sure more please"hey tonight","I put a spell on you","lookin out my backdoor","green river","Lodi","put a candle in the window", to name a few. "Swamp music"by Lynyrd Skynyrd or"legend of Woolley swamp" by Charlie Daniels are also fantastic and worth a listen and reaction ☮️

I recall an interview with Fogerty once where someone asked him where he gets that distinct style of singing from, coming as he does from California. He made no bones about the fact that he was going for older black southern blues guy. I'm not sure he quite got there, but damn if he didn't create a completely original sound all his own in the process. No one sounds quite like him.
@@flubblert Great point. One would think he was out of Bayou country. I believe he was so taken with the sound coming from the southern regions, he couldn't help but want to immerse himself? Unique vocalist/guitarist, absolutely! Have a great weekend flubblert! :)
John Fogerty is an honorary Southerner. In fact he is more Southern than most of the people living in the South now. Along with Patrick Simmons and Tommy Johnston of the Doobie Brothers, I was proud to dub them Honorary Sons of The South!
Funny thing is with the song Lodi it just sounds to most people like its probably another song about the south but if you're from Northern California and have drive around some at all you'll just be like oh, thats south of Sacramento lol (Green River is also about a place kinda near Sacramento).
For some reason it has really kind of bothered me since I learned that CCR wasn’t from somewhere in the south. Still amazing music but it just kinda sticks in my craw. Would be like if The Beach Boys were from Chicago or something
Oldsmar FLA here. CCR, along with Tony Joe White, fits this awful Florida humidity like a glove. My dad listened to this stuff all the time when I was growing up, and my son is probably going to have the same story when he gets older. Timeless stuff.
But only half as good as their swampy tune, Dark Eyed Cajun, Woman. You can almost feel the cold mud squeezing between your toes in the cold night air.
They did an INCREDIBLE version (zoom?) early in the covid weirdness. eta: John Fogerty did some great online performances during the lockdown as well. Great musicians all!
When I was nine, my family was camping at Devils Lake in Wisconsin. My sister made friends with some guys who promptly came to our campfire, and one with guitar asked if we wanted to hear a song. He started playing and singing Proud Mary and I have been a CCR fan ever since!
Used to hike and rock climb at Devil's Lake all the time. Hop on the ferry and cruise on into the park for a day of sunshine. The last time I was there, about twenty years ago, my girlfriend and me were sitting with our feet dangling over the edge of the bluff, taking in the beautiful view, when a hawk came gliding by not more that ten feet in front of us. It gave the tips of its wings just a little flap, but we both heard it. Gave us chills.
@@Drummingvulture I loved those bluffs! Seen plenty of Turkey Vultures! The sad thing is, if a couple of young adults experienced today what you saw then, they would only get a glimpse because they would be trying to get their phones out to take a picture. I live in Vegas now, and in a half hour I can be at Red Rock Canyon. I was there yesterday hiking a mountain I know well. I get to the top to find two twenty-somethings BOTH on their phones! One talking loudly and the other sitting on a rock and watching a vid, instead of looking at the incredible scenery! If you are ever in Vegas, it is worth spending a day out there (just don't try to do it in the summer months!).
He’s still singing.. live - he’s in Las Vegas often. He’s been posting videos from his home studio, with his kids, who all tour with him. He still sounds great!
Yep. I absolutely love his album Deja Vu All Over Again. Some of it sounds *exactly* like CCR. Wicked Old Witch, In the Garden, Nobody's Here Anymore. Great stuff!
I will always recommend I Put A Spell On You. Really showcases John's vocal talents, and all of the band's talents on their respective instruments. I giggled throughout this video, your reactions to everything was hilarious and perfectly apt. 😅
You guys have so much fun! You've restored my faith in the youth of today. Like many, I grew up listening to music like this when it was new. So nice to see young guys diggin' it today. When you get to be my age, I hope you find 2 just like you who will appreciate some of the music you grew up with.
I pray they keep the music alive. I grew up listening to it. 60’s 70’s mostly and my kids will attend concerts with us. They love the classic rock. There will NEVER be music like this again. I have faith in you guys. Love every minute of your reactions. ❤️❤️❤️
You all are catching on! You've reacted to numerous great songs, but you haven't even gotten close to all the others out there from the late 60's thru the 70's! They will keep coming!
lets face it, they'd have to do a couple of songs a day 5 or 6 days a week to begin to truly make a dent in ALL the great music of the 60s, 70s, and early eighties. time these college boys don't have.
Your absolutely right flubblert! I was considering some of your math numbers when I wrote my initial comment! There are many bands I haven’t even seen mentioned as suggestions in all the past comments from all their previous reviews! Two great guys enjoying music like we did in the early to mid 70’s college days!
Not all of it though, you just have to look in the right places and maybe open up a bit. There's such a wealth of stuff out there waiting for an audience, especially in the underground scenes (Sun Kil Moon, Father John Misty, and maybe even Mac DeMarco), and even a bunch of stuff from the past as well that goes overlooked sadly (like the Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, or Can). Cheers!
H4RDC0R3 What Ed is saying is that back in the day great music was on the radio all the time without having to 'go look for it' which is the standard reply these days. Give me one song by one of the bands that need to be searched for that is as good as this song by CCR and I will concede to you. Just type the band and song below.
Z Z Top - La Grange. But my personal favorite by Z Z Top is "Got Me under pressure." This is the one I would suggest you listen to. Some nasty, hard-hitting rhythm and licks in that song.
I particularly recommend ZZ Top's live videos from their 1980 Rockpalast performance. This is them at their blues-rock best, before they broke REALLY big in the 80s (and got a little more commercial). La Grange is a blues guitar standard, and Just Got Paid is also tremendous at this performance.
My two favorites from CCR are, "I Put a Spell on You," and "I Heard it Through the Grapevine." Both are covers, but they really do it right. You should give both a listen even if you don't choose to react to them. Loving watching you enjoy the music I grew up on. If you want something swampy, try Canned Heat! "On the Road Again," "Marie Laveau," or many others from them. Dr, John is another musician that has more than a little swamp, and New Orleans in his music. Enjoy your journey!
Excellent comment 8:00 Us kids used to acapella this and other CCR on the long bus ride to and from school in the mid 1970s Santa Cruz Mountains... And not a one of use could really sing, we just belted them out while being totally into the song, and all together somehow.
Fogerty was the master at writing these 3 minute slabs of simple lyrical and sonic perfection. Somehow he made a group of San Francisco boys sound like they came out of the Deep South.
FANTASTIC PICK from you guys with this one! Easily one of the more fun videos we’ve recorded! Have a great weekend guys!! 🔥🤟🏻
Do CCR's "Graveyard Train". many youtubers don't know this one because they are from the wrong generation - take it from an old guy (60+) this track is fire.

🍄🎸🎸Real Cool🎸🌿 Couldn't wait to see what u Picked 🌿Good one🌿 Green River. Should be next by CCR😃😃
Dudes! I knew you'd love that one! That's how its done!
Swampy....night driving Song..Cool🎤🎤😁❇️🎶🎶🍄🎸
John Fogerty, the only guy to be accused of plagiarizing himself. He won in Court.
Got to see him in an intimate theater after getting the rights back to do his own songs-Great show.
Sued to get his own words back Sad
I remember that case.. what an eye roll
😂😂😂
He was sued for writing new lyrics to a song that was 75% owned by someone else. The Old Man Down The Road is just Run Through The Jungle with shitty lyrics. John Fogerty is only a victim to his own ego.
the mud & grit is just dripping off his vocals~
John Fogerty played lead guitar, sang lead and wrote and produced the music. A true renaissance man!
navyman1984 And he got screwed by his label.😡😡😡
Thank You!!! Everyone should know...
And it drove his brother nuts with envy
and lets not forget his band tried to take it from him....
He also has one of the greatest rock n roll voices of all time.
You're hearing what my generation adored. These guys were on a par with the Beatles for popularity.
I am SO proud and so glad to be a Baby Boomer. People born in the 50’s have lived in 7 decades, 2 centuries & 2 millenniums. We had the best music and the fastest cars. We had Drive-in theaters, soda fountains and happy days. And we aren’t even that OLD yet, we’re just that cool.
proud boomer here. agree, all the decades of music alone-
This why this album went platinum in 1969-70. Still sounds great. John Fogerty’s incredible voice.
If you liked the swampy feel here, you HAVE to listen to CCR's "Run through the Jungle".
I'd follow that with "The Old Man Down the Road" from solo Fogerty. He actually got sued by CCR's label for plagiarizing his own song.
Yes yes....music that defined my generation...
Marathon Suzie Q. Best cowbell since BTO.
Yesss!
Yes and lighten the swamp theme with Jim Stafford's Swamp Witch!!!!!
Your reaction to this fabulous song that's over 50 years old is PRICELESS!!! 😁💖
I got the original single. A side is proud Mary, B side is born on the bayou.
I love there reaction. One of my all-time favorite songs. I have the original single. A side is proud. Mary, B side is born on the bayou.
Totally 💯
There is NO song like this. Even Little Richard was like YEAHHH that's the number!
Man this is real swamp funk music...
John Fogerty sells that swamp vibe with his amazing pipes, hard to believe he’s from the East Bay of California :)
Yup, CCR was from Berkeley.
Well they're was a lot of Southern immigration to California in that time

Oh, you're right on the money! Beyond great... CCR has a catalog of such great music (even the covers, no?). Great weekend to you!
Dan knows drums.
And the bass on their version is amazing! A&A will love it!!!
Oooh yes! Excellent choice! I'll second that motion!
perfect suggestion
Love that CCR is from California and pulls off this jungle/bayou music off.
El Cerrito was once swamp land
Written in El Cerrito, California by a kid that had never seen a bayou in his life. You would never guess; it's done so well.
yep true
Willie and The Poorboys!
By a guy not even age 24 yet!
The group also lived in West Oakland before they acquired fame and the heartaches that came with it
This band was actually based in El Cerrito, California....up the road from Oakland
As soon as the guitar riff came in you guys knew what they were gonna do. And they still did it better then you had imagined. It is rare when a song totally exceeds your expectations. But it's what CCR does best. That was a great reaction!
When this was new, NOBODY believed it was four white kids from Berkeley, Ca.

yep.
CCR..one of the best rock bands ever..never to be duplicated..classic .thanks guys
You better " Run Through The Jungle", and don't look back.
Steely Dan is a group worth exploring. "Do It Again" and "Reeling In The Years" are classic early '70s rock at its finest.
Peg
I agree... They already know Pink Floyd were master musicians... Steely Dan is cut from the same cloth
Steely Dan is a whole other rabbit hole to get lost in. It's not a band so much as a musical collective. It's like Fagen and Becker said "Who is the best guy I can get to do this part on this song".

Similarly swampy? Try Mountain's Mississippi Queen.
ABSOLUTELY
What she said!
@@briansd2772 Yes.
Yes! Leslie West slays it.

What he said
And the joss stone version. Video has great visual value too 😁
Another great suggestion! Let's face it, CCR is a band who has no bad songs. I keep upvoting all! haha
Got to do "I Put On a Spell On You", so good.
Put a spell on you a cover of course.
Check the original by "Sceamin Jay Hawkins!"!!
The vocals are what makes this a historically great song. Good old American Rock and Roll !!
John Fogerty was gifted with all the talent in the world and indestructable vocal chords.
You guys NEED to hear Run Through the Jungle..... if you haven't already.
"Travelin' Band", "It Came Out of the Sky", "Susie Q", and SO many others!
"Green River" is another good swamp-themed song and a must-listen.
Mouse Shadow yes! My favorite CCR song!
Absolutely!!
Mouse Shadow Do Green River, guys!
Green River is a masterpiece.
Pre Pro Tools!! John Fogerty has one of the most unmistakable voices in rock history!
Gives you chills on this one. Way cool!
Wanna trip out? Try Soul Sacrifice from Santana
Run through the Jungle
His voice is one of my favorite in music though, it's just so gritty and raw
Yes!
I never get tired of this song 😊
This is just the best, rock solid, badass piece of music CCR ever did! Still gives me shivers and don't even mention John Fogerty's vocals!!
Run Through the Jungle was pretty awesome!
@@kathycuster1714Run Through The Jungle is essentially this song with different lyrics.
Please give Three Dog Night's song "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" a listen!
That's a good one.

I was in a “band” when I was 11 and song was he pending to this song
Sorry. High high. Trying to make a point. If anyone finds it let me know
“That cowbell makes it!” So in other words... Christopher Walken was right all along! “I gotta have more cowbell!” “Ive got a fever and the only prescription... is more cowbell!!!!!”
🤣🤣🤣
Really Explore the space with the cowbell.....
Too funny!!! 🤣 🤣🤣🤣✌
Pretty cool how the cowbell moved from one ear to the other between 4:30 and 5:30.

"Suzy Q" is the next swampiest, hands down.
Great list. I'd start with Green River but add Suzie Q too.
Gary Kelly it’s not “ put a candle in the window” it’s called “as long as I can see the light” fyi
Yep, 1 of their 2 greatest songs. Next stop: "Ramble Tamble." You will not be disappointed.

John Fogerty is an honorary Southerner. In fact he is more Southern than most of the people living in the South now. Along with Patrick Simmons and Tommy Johnston of the Doobie Brothers, I was proud to dub them Honorary Sons of The South!
These dudes are from California and you would sware they’re from my home. South Louisiana Cajun country! They have many songs about Louisiana bayous!
Same situation with the Doobie Brothers.
Like the Eagles singing about California and not being from there.
Funny thing is with the song Lodi it just sounds to most people like its probably another song about the south but if you're from Northern California and have drive around some at all you'll just be like oh, thats south of Sacramento lol (Green River is also about a place kinda near Sacramento).
From Berkeley/El Cerrito.
For some reason it has really kind of bothered me since I learned that CCR wasn’t from somewhere in the south. Still amazing music but it just kinda sticks in my craw. Would be like if The Beach Boys were from Chicago or something
CCR is THE American Band that give our country its own voice in Rock. Their sound is so atmospheric and paints mental images.
I live in Clearwater Fla. and C.C.R. is some of the best. Green River would be a good Swamp Song.
Oldsmar FLA here. CCR, along with Tony Joe White, fits this awful Florida humidity like a glove. My dad listened to this stuff all the time when I was growing up, and my son is probably going to have the same story when he gets older. Timeless stuff.
If you love the swamp vibe, Doobie Brothers' "Black Water" is key.
But only half as good as their swampy tune, Dark Eyed Cajun, Woman. You can almost feel the cold mud squeezing between your toes in the cold night air.
And if you want more Creedence, you MUST try Green River & Run Through The Jungle. Honestly, BANGERS.
They did an INCREDIBLE version (zoom?) early in the covid weirdness.
eta: John Fogerty did some great online performances during the lockdown as well. Great musicians all!
When I was nine, my family was camping at Devils Lake in Wisconsin. My sister made friends with some guys who promptly came to our campfire, and one with guitar asked if we wanted to hear a song. He started playing and singing Proud Mary and I have been a CCR fan ever since!
Used to hike and rock climb at Devil's Lake all the time. Hop on the ferry and cruise on into the park for a day of sunshine.
The last time I was there, about twenty years ago, my girlfriend and me were sitting with our feet dangling over the edge of the bluff, taking in the beautiful view, when a hawk came gliding by not more that ten feet in front of us. It gave the tips of its wings just a little flap, but we both heard it. Gave us chills.
@@Drummingvulture I loved those bluffs! Seen plenty of Turkey Vultures! The sad thing is, if a couple of young adults experienced today what you saw then, they would only get a glimpse because they would be trying to get their phones out to take a picture. I live in Vegas now, and in a half hour I can be at Red Rock Canyon. I was there yesterday hiking a mountain I know well. I get to the top to find two twenty-somethings BOTH on their phones! One talking loudly and the other sitting on a rock and watching a vid, instead of looking at the incredible scenery! If you are ever in Vegas, it is worth spending a day out there (just don't try to do it in the summer months!).
I'm sure glad to see you children enjoying some of the pioneers!!!
I love dancing to this!!
He’s still singing.. live - he’s in Las Vegas often. He’s been posting videos from his home studio, with his kids, who all tour with him. He still sounds great!
Yep. I absolutely love his album Deja Vu All Over Again. Some of it sounds *exactly* like CCR. Wicked Old Witch, In the Garden, Nobody's Here Anymore. Great stuff!
CCR is so past rock and roll. It is pure American music. All aspects. 😊
I will always recommend I Put A Spell On You. Really showcases John's vocal talents, and all of the band's talents on their respective instruments.
I giggled throughout this video, your reactions to everything was hilarious and perfectly apt. 😅
You guys have so much fun! You've restored my faith in the youth of today. Like many, I grew up listening to music like this when it was new. So nice to see young guys diggin' it today. When you get to be my age, I hope you find 2 just like you who will appreciate some of the music you grew up with.
I pray they keep the music alive. I grew up listening to it. 60’s 70’s mostly and my kids will attend concerts with us. They love the classic rock. There will NEVER be music like this again. I have faith in you guys. Love every minute of your reactions. ❤️❤️❤️
I feel the same way. I feel like a grandmama to these bright and talented kids. ❤
Amen!
We were SO fortunate to grow up in the 70's!
When I was a young’un, in the 70s, my momma had this on 8-track.
Always catcorgorized this as hypnotizing.
If you like this try 'Mamma told me not to come' by Three Dog Night.
Ian Ross
3 Dog night live versions are just so much fun.
I was recently listening to their old hits, forgot how good they were!
One - Three Dog Knight, Eli’s Coming - Three Dog Knight
Back in the day! Was my band!
You all are catching on! You've reacted to numerous great songs, but you haven't even gotten close to all the others out there from the late 60's thru the 70's! They will keep coming!
lets face it, they'd have to do a couple of songs a day 5 or 6 days a week to begin to truly make a dent in ALL the great music of the 60s, 70s, and early eighties. time these college boys don't have.
Your absolutely right flubblert! I was considering some of your math numbers when I wrote my initial comment! There are many bands I haven’t even seen mentioned as suggestions in all the past comments from all their previous reviews! Two great guys enjoying music like we did in the early to mid 70’s college days!
That whole album kills...
That is my song dude! Glad you loved as much as I do.
Guys, that was normal music on the radio when I was growing up. Music now sucks haha
Amen!
Not all of it though, you just have to look in the right places and maybe open up a bit. There's such a wealth of stuff out there waiting for an audience, especially in the underground scenes (Sun Kil Moon, Father John Misty, and maybe even Mac DeMarco), and even a bunch of stuff from the past as well that goes overlooked sadly (like the Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, or Can). Cheers!
Jinjer is my current favorite
H4RDC0R3 What Ed is saying is that back in the day great music was on the radio all the time without having to 'go look for it' which is the standard reply these days. Give me one song by one of the bands that need to be searched for that is as good as this song by CCR and I will concede to you. Just type the band and song below.
So true. It was something in the air back than
If you like that one then I Put A Spell On You is next level.
Good pick.
I grew up on the bayou, & this song gets the feel. Fogerty has a lot of fans in Bayou Country.
Considered by many as one of their best grooves .... everything was just perfect .
Z Z Top - La Grange. But my personal favorite by Z Z Top is "Got Me under pressure." This is the one I would suggest you listen to. Some nasty, hard-hitting rhythm and licks in that song.
Good call. If you guys haven't started digging into ZZ Top yet, either of these songs would be a perfect place to start.
A how how how how have A&A not done any ZZ Top....?
If ya do ZZ TOP, you gotta do "Heard it on the X", and "Fool for your Stockings"
I'd also go with Waitin' On the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago of Tres Hombres, too. Awesome album.
I particularly recommend ZZ Top's live videos from their 1980 Rockpalast performance. This is them at their blues-rock best, before they broke REALLY big in the 80s (and got a little more commercial). La Grange is a blues guitar standard, and Just Got Paid is also tremendous at this performance.
I highly recommend Suzy Q it's some CCR real lost in the sauce psychedelic guitar solo stuff.
MustangGrandPubah a MUST
Radar Love by Golden Earring or Frankenstein by Edgar Winter. That was one of my favorite reactions yet by you guys.
Second both of these...
Frankenstein rules! Gotta watch a retro live version
Frankenstein yea
We loved CCR back in the day.
The smiles on your faces says it all.
That was sooo much fun to watch. I'm still grinning. 😁
@Karen Kriske Hoffman
😁😁😁
❤️❤️❤️❤️
For another CCR song... I thing you guys would dig "Midnight Special"
My favorite CCR song!!! ❤ This is Grade A sauce.
Real music.
I can feel the humidity coming off this song!
You guys would love the James Gang. “Walk Away”
Or “Funk #49”.
William Brocklehurst yessssssssss! Get into some early Joe Walsh! Also Rocky Mountain Way!
Yep. I recommended that song too.
Yes to both!
You guys haven't heard "Funk #49"?
Get back to those chairs immediately!
Dude! Ashes, the rain and I! What a superb track that is
My two favorites from CCR are, "I Put a Spell on You," and "I Heard it Through the Grapevine." Both are covers, but they really do it right. You should give both a listen even if you don't choose to react to them. Loving watching you enjoy the music I grew up on.
If you want something swampy, try Canned Heat! "On the Road Again," "Marie Laveau," or many others from them. Dr, John is another musician that has more than a little swamp, and New Orleans in his music. Enjoy your journey!
Don't forget 'Midnight Special' when talking about covers!
So many good Creedence songs. I like "Travelin' Band" and "It Came Out of the Sky" for straight up rockers.
I think of being in my barracks room in Arizona in the Air Force.It is 1969 and CCR rules the radio.
u guys rock-------- been rockn CCR since the 70s----- keep em coming------- hell yea
Boomer here. Love that you guys dig the classic rock I partied to in High School and College.
Doors and Beatles loved Creedence. So did Janis.
I love the moves by Alex after hearing the cow bell at 3:45
Fun Fact: even though a lot of CCR songs are set in the South, the band actually formed in California.
Excellent comment 8:00
Us kids used to acapella this and other CCR on the long bus ride to and from school in the mid 1970s Santa Cruz Mountains...
And not a one of use could really sing, we just belted them out while being totally into the song, and all together somehow.
Best Creedence song ever!!
Fogerty was the master at writing these 3 minute slabs of simple lyrical and sonic perfection.
Somehow he made a group of San Francisco boys sound like they came out of the Deep South.
Oh hell yeah been waiting patiently for this one. Enjoy guys.
low rider it was sooo good
@@alexfromandyandalex8032 yes. My favorite, and Green River.
And Run Through the Jungle, Up Around The Bend. Oh hell dont know a bad song by CCR.
CCR had so many hits, in a really short amount of time.
Awesome 😮
I love there song molina
