Music is the closest thing we have to a time machine.
So True!!!
That's brilliant & true.
True! Songs take us back to those tumultuous periods in our lives.
Like i said, and i’ll say it again 🤝
Movies too
That is a clean clean voice for a 74 man, sheeeeesh.
Conan or Fogerty?
Do you intend to sound like a hillbilly?
Fine set of lungs on him!
@@comebackguy8892 A lot of people when they are older have a rough and deteriorated voice. Depending on lifestyle and such.
Paul Stanley's voice is shot and he now lip syncs a lot.
David Coverdale smoked a lot and can't hit notes like he used to.
Bon Jovi similarly can't sing Living on a Prayer as well as before.
@@alanguages What? I think that you're an illiterate.
John Fogerty is Creedence Clearwater Revival. Over 50 years later, he still has it. He's one of my favorite musicians. A legend, no doubt.
I totally agree! Just makes me laugh that Drake thinks hes the 5th Beetle..... Try in 50yrs, ask if anyone knows who Drake is?? I highly doubt ANYONE will have a clue. But I guarantee they will know CCR, Beetles, Rolling Stones after a 100yrs!!!!
@@frenchbulldogdad1003 as Ed McMahon said to Carnac the Great: ha ha ha, you sir are correct
No doubt!
@@MsLincos Nobody will know No Doubt in a 100 years
Achilleskneel I’m 19 I know a lot of these bands but none of my friends do so ur right
No autotune. No backup. No drum machine. Just a legend with a guitar and pipes still going strong 50+ years later. That was beautiful. Not a lot of musicians could pull that off.
Bullshit. People do it every day, and his voice sucks.
Don't forget about the great song.
Jack, you are so spot on sir.
"Not a lot of musicians could pull that off."
Actually many, many musicians do this day in and day out, that's what being a musician is all about. I think what you meant is not many people on today's top 40 could pull that off. 😁
Out of tune.
When your music still resonates after 50 years.
He's lost it though! He's just not coming even close as before! He's too OLD!
Nobody will say that about any “artist” from about 1990 on…..
So true. I close my eyes and it's 1969 all over again. Thank you John, what a long strange trip it's been.....
Pfffft... bullshit.
You're old, but also like good music.
No auto tune. No band backing you up.
Just a brilliant musician and a guitar.
Ok
The best guitar
ok
Autotune is a joke
Todays music is the biggest joke of them all
Wow, no rehearsals, no warm ups, 74 year old and still sound amazing. That's talent at its best.
ITs TV. you think its a coincidence that there is a guitar lying in the back...
He’s probably played that song a million times. If he doesn’t know it by now, somethings wrong
It's one of the easiest songs to play on guitar, like ever. No one needs to "warm up" or "rehearse" 'Have you ever seen the rain' lol
I will always love that song.
Una volta la musica era questa...eterna!!
John was also the writer of ALL their songs, he is genius.
well actually, the other band members did want to have some "creative input" so John let them write songs for one CCR album, it tanked, after that they kept their mouth shut, lol
@@mmmtsp although suzie Q was a hit not written by john fogerty
@@Desot00 but was it written by any of the other 3 members of CCR? No right.
A lot of their great songs were covers, but I agree he is a genius.
@@christopherjohnson1803 Like what?
That man is a legend. That band is a legend. That song always gives me goosebumps. Love it.
Goosebumps me too
@junkyardhemi - Agreed.
Yup
It actually kinda stresses me out. I went flying off an old twisty road doing about 60, belting this song out because it came on the radio, and a telephone pole actually took my mirror off (I was that close). I'm not saying I dont love this song, but at the same time it's hard to not think about that "what if?" Haha
Ditto
John Fogerty is in his 70s yet he still has hair......and can still sing his songs in the original key....amazing!
Still has hair ?....is that really so important?.....my god a view you have
@@kjeldlarsen912 its certainly rare
@@kjeldlarsen912 ...hair AND the corona virus !
@@kjeldlarsen912 The fact that you're so quick on the offense shows quite a view YOU have
You can tell he has sung quite a bit over the years.
The fact Fogertys voice has stayed amazing all this time is impressive
I was thinking the same thing. I expected him to sound worse.
I miss the gravel though!
He sang like that because I heard they couldn't afford a microphone
His voice isnt amazing. His voice is aged and he sounds rough.
@@tyrone5159 Absolutely. Several years ago he was attempting a comeback and did one live song awhile back and it actually sounded good. Then he got the halftime gig for the superbowl that year I think...and he sounded God awful. He doesn't sound any better here. The defining thing about CCR was the voice, and sadly he's lost it. He hasn't adjusted. He's still trying to sing the song with the voice he doesn't have anymore.
CCR is one of the greatest bands in history, their music never gets old.
So true
And it was all him.
Not “is one”, but is.
exactly.... ❤❤❤
It's not one of the greatest, its THE Greatest. Comment from 8000 km away.
74 year old fan here. Thank you John. Ahhhhh the memories.
Been to nam?
31 here and I dance with my little ones to CCR... still more to come.
99 year old here!! What song did he just play ? I can’t hear very well!!
@@lele2795 Bite me MO FO!
Recan It’s amazing how a song or band can bring you right back to that time. Great soundtrack to a memory! Just curious, is there one particular memory you’d wanna share? Love to read stuff like this. I talk with my father in law about his time in the 60’s and I almost feel like I was there. Best story he told was when he saw Dillon go electric for the first time.
One of the most recognizable voices in rock history. He's incredible.
Fake accent. Yes, it is recognizable. He's from California.
Not one of the most but THE most recognized voice ever
@@foobarmaximus3506 fake answer negative people will say whatever to put others dlown such a sad personality try to be positive you will grow from that
@@mariomeerloo But you can't deny he is from California!! An american Icon!
@@mariomeerloo Well....I think Pat Benetar...Robert Plant and a few others might disagree.
I just can't believe they never had a number one hit.
The most underrated, overlooked, music doesn't get awards, they get immortalised.
They hold the record for most #2 hits without a #1 in music history
@@jordanverbeek5121 They were never overlooked, they are one of the most popular bands ever.
Very overlooked, very underrated ..they have been forgotten
They had!!! Credence had many
It's amazing how well his voice has held up and how good he sounds. Just an incredible musician.
In my opinion CCR is the most underrated band of all time. So many great songs in a short period of time.
"Fuckin' A"- the Dude
Yeah please Google the meaning of underrated. No one ever underrated them.
@@dvyt433 I suppose they meant CCR is underrated now, as opposed to when they were at their peak popularity
haha they're not underrated they're fucking legendary
@@HK7Roiz and yet no body ever rates them in the top ten bands of all time. Personally I’d put them in the top 5
Conan's face when the song starts playing. Its like he's reliving his childhood. Powerful stuff!
So much! Most serious Conan’s face ever seen before.
beautiful
It's almost like he can't believe what's happening before his eyes!
It looks like for a moment he cannot believe that he gets paid to have such genius play for him.
I'd be like that too. It's my favorite CCR song
Musicians have the ability to pause a room and make everyone forget about the struggles and differences of the world around them. One of the greatest human powers.
Damn that’s deep bro. So true
Superb
It only effects the weak minded
@@johnray5104 Or perhaps those with a mind.
Concur great music transcends Time, Race, Gender, Difference it brings us together as one. The world needs more of that positive energy.
This made me grin ear to ear. Anyone else?
When did just singing in front of a crowd stop being enough? This is an instance where you can truly appreciate music for its art.
One of my favorite Conan moments!!!!!
It stopped when you could become a music star without being able to find a single note and you only sound good when you're autotuned to death.
It stopped when promoters realized a band could fill up a stadium.
@@trs4437 It's a shame, because lets face it. If a stand up comedian can fill a stadium, one man and a guitar should be able to also. If the talent is there.

Considering the group was only together for 4 is a testament
I went to a CCR tribute band show last year at one of those local clubs for old people. Decided to go with my brother, cousin and a couple of mates and make a night of it. All in our mid 20's, we were easily the youngest ones there by a long shot; had an awesome night, good memories were made. However, my highlight of the night was seeing close to 100 people well into their 80's and 90's getting up, dancing and enjoying their night like they were young again.
Yes sir 👍👍👍🥹🥹
Rather see John sing than old photos that I have seen before. John still has the chops and I hope he never retires. Met him once in a Northridge California sporting goods store 30 years ago. Very nice man.
For Real!
I was only 6 when you met him. He's one of my top favorites.
g g I started college at the University of Nevada Reno and my friend in college grew up a few doors down from him in El Cerrito in the Bay Area and he remembers as a kid listening to him and his brother play in a band in the Fogerty’s garage.
I know what you mean! I had the pleasure of meeting John in 1999 at a show in Mansfield, MA. John is very nice. He commented on the red bandanna I was wearing.
@@faerefolke I was only six when CCR was singing this song. Thanks to my older brother, I fell in love with the music then & still love it today.
John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival. ...FOREVER^))))))))
This man is a national treasure
“It started out as a sad song many years ago,” Fogerty said. “It was about a sad occasion in my life, but I refuse to be sad now. These days, it’s a very happy song because it reminds me of my beautiful, little baby girl, Kelsy, and that is the truth.”
“Kelsy rules my world,” he added. “And she knows it. Anyway, Kelsy is a rainbow in my life, and this song has a rainbow in it.”
Just one person, one guitar playing and singing...pure, creative, raw talent at its deepest core.
F*** yeah John. Cut from a different cloth. Nobody like him.
Well from what I know he has a bit of an ego and that caused his brother to quit the band and eventually caused the remaining three members to have a terrible breakup and refuse to work together ever again. He got into many arguments with the other members and was very controlling. For example woodstock he refused to let them put their set in the film because he thought their performance was subpar. This upset Stu Cook the bassist and that is just one example. John also refused to play with the band when they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. He is a talented prick.
@@quickpawmaud That's not exactly true: ultimateclassicrock.com/creedence-clearwater-revival-break-up/. Without John Fogerty that band would've went nowhere. He was the band, the others were just there. He sang lead, played lead guitar, and he was the songwriter. He wasn't stupid. He knew that it had to stay that way for the band to remain successful. From the article:
Lead singer, principal songwriter, guitarist and frontman John Fogerty had always played a dominant role in the group, and as time went on his bandmates - brother and guitarist Tom Fogerty, drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and bassist Stu Cook - pushed for more of a voice in the band's music and business decisions. Tom Fogerty finally departed the band in 1971, and for the group's next album, John Fogerty told his remaining bandmates that if they wanted more input, then each member would contribute their own songs, on which he would only play rhythm guitar.
The result was Mardi Gras, released in 1972 to a resounding critical drubbing. Rolling Stone critic Jon Landau called it "the worst album I have ever heard from a major rock band," and though the album was still relatively commercially successful, it did not sell as well as previous efforts. Fogerty had also become involved in a series of disputes with CCR's record label, Fantasy Records, over what he thought were unfair contracts, and on Oct. 16, 1972 the group announced their breakup.
The other members also left him alone in the fight against that record label, which caused him a lot of trouble while starting his solo career. That's the reason he refused to play with them at the Hall of Fame ceremony, and I can't blaming him for choosing not to.
So that's the reason why the others have pretty much been a CCR tribute band over the last 35 to 40 years, and why Fogerty went on to have a successful solo career. He gave them a chance to contribute their own music, and that music wasn't up to snuff. That's the same sort of thing that happened with The Eagles back when they first broke up as well.
Forky Mental, John might have been the brains of the band, but without them he would be nothing. The only reason anyone in the audience gave a shit about him playing solo is because they remember growing up with CCR. If he was still a washed up musician, playing in bars, having never played with CCR no one would give a shit about him even if he was playing the same memorable songs.
@@tonyhinojosa7710 It was the name of the band that mattered. If John could have fired all of the bands original members and hire new ones, then things wouldn't have changed. Nobody would've noticed. He wasn't able to keep the name because of the legal battle with his record company. Plus he was pissed. I would've been too.
Goose bumps every time I hear him singing
Saw John Fogerty and his sons play in Florida Feb. 2024. What a great showman! So many incredible songs.
One of the sweetest men I ever talked with!!! He volunteered at a veterans help line in Charleston, SC. I was pretty down, and called it. He persuaded me not to hurt myself, and get help. I did.
I got chills as soon as he started singing. Fogerty’s still got it!!
I agree...certain music, if you hear it unexpectedly, can cause raw emotions, cause of how great the music was...like when this dude on americas got talent or one of those dumb shows, the guy started playing a led zeppelin song...I lost it.
Bella Música
Me too, chills
He starts strumming, and you feel a shock. Gawd. Just grab that guitar, and let it rip. Gheezus. Cook and Clifford gotta forgive him. Not to play togethe, but for their friendship. How can you stay mad at this authentic, beutiful persn?
Accomplished people who are still regular people ... inspirational.
Classic Rock is timeless! It's the soundtrack of generations
GOAT. No auto tuner. No prep. Just picked up someone else's guitar and belted out a classic at a moments notice. What else can you say. Epic, just epic.
It was his guitar.
guitar happens to be behind the chairs and he had a pick in his pocket XD
@@phillydilly37 sings amazingly with no warm up
Dude, it was His guitar !!! You really think someone just had a guitar back there, tuned to the key John Fogerty needed to sing this song in the same key it was done originally??????
@@frandanco6289 bro its in standard tuning 😂
This man needs no backup, no auto tune. He is just pure music genius.
Yeah, unfortunately today his voice is not that great as it was, you can see that his voice got older, but goddamn this man is a legend...
Arthur Gunn made John Fogerty proud. One of the greatest songs of all time.
Agree
Daniel Melo that guy is a legend dude. These Nepalese people.
I LIKED Arthur GUNN'S MUCH BETTER, IT'S IS RASPY IN HIS VOICE.
It's amazing to see.. how one Nepalese guy came up in American idol, sang this song, and made this evergreen song alive again. 💙

And throughout the neighborhood, everyone could hear my dad blasting CCR from the garage while he worked on one of his projects. They were his favorite band... John is an American Icon...
We're getting older, but seems that those days were better !
@@robertobeco1302
Absolutely... But I reckon every generation pretty much says the same thing.
And their right. As the world continues to get worse every year, each generation looks back on their time, on their memories of youth and recall how much better things were back when..
For those of us for example who were kids in the sixties and early seventies, we remember the great TV shows, all the incredible toys. Halloween and Christmas were amazing and wonderful times. But our parents remember the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of JFK, MLK, the Vietnam War, the Draft, and all those boys who never came home... So I reckon it's how we perceive things. For me personally, even with all the bad, those were amazing times. And the music was absolutely a huge part of it all. And no doubt helped to shape the entire generation...

Absolute definition of legend ..
Conan feeling the vibe and hitting the Fogerty scream at 2:32. Good job. CCR's music is timeless.
Every time John says "I know"... I believe him.
2:30 Conan did some awesome vocal right there! Like in original song in last chorus i believe

That was a nice touch
He always does that with his shamana shamana haaaaaaaa
When i get old i wanna be like John Fogerty
This song reminds me of my youth at 18. Today at 71 again. Thank you.!!!
LOVE YA JOHN.😊
My father was a good hard working man and he LOVED CCR.
That’s always been enough for me 🦅
Remember this song, flying in a Bell Huey over the Mekong Delta, a long time ago.
Thank you for your service and sacrifices. Some of us will never forget you. 💖🙏👏👏👏👏 ✌️

That's some memory, God bless man.
Vietnam was the worst war ever. I lost a lot of friends, even though those friends came back, they were never really a part of life anymore, but ccr made it a little better. At least when ccr played and we sang along it felt like old times just for those brief moments. To all the vets, from every war, thank you for your service.
You look like you're in your 40s in the photo...
No auto tune no studio just an amazing voice that sounds as good now as it did back when this first came out
Fogerty = Awesome enough said.....
Wow!!! Someone told me long ago..there is a calm before the storm…Tears in my eyes..this voice,this guutar play..pure goosebumps! 71years old from Germany!
That guy is a fucking legend...so glad conan got him to sing...listen to the crowd...just amazing
I love Conan's appreciation for music.... he Always said he didn't want to end the show until he had Bono and Cash on it. You can see how the music captures him, and how he gets lost in it.... Like a kid watching from home 🖤
P
I don't think that Cash thing is gonna happen anytime soon tbh. Just a hunch.
what does Bono have to do with music?
I NEVER LIKED HIM! He comes off very CREEPY! (Conan The Librarian)
From a time when music still had heart and soul.
CCR will always stand out as one of the GOATs.
74 and Kicking as a Musician.....everyone in the industry under the age of 30 should really process what they are seeing here....amazing......!!!
He picked that guitar up and immediately made magic. Years of experience along with a gift from God to play like that.

Thank you, John and the band, for making your precious and unforgettable music for us.
With love and respect from India.
The man has still got it. FOGERTY FOREVER!
When I was a kid (about a thousand years ago) I had a 45rpm with Fortunate Son that I played so often, my brother broke it. I’ve been a fan of yours since 10 years old.
CCR is one of those rare bands that appeals to pretty much everybody. I don't think I've ever meet someone who didn't like CCR.
Thank god for that audience being able to clap on 2 and 4
This is my funeral song. Gets better every time.
Ol' Fogerty out here still killing it.
One of one and never can be duplicated. So special. ❤
Hey John Fogerty, when I was a little boy, around the age of 12 or 13, I went over to my friend's house and heard creedence clearwater revival band for the first time. Immediately it happened to me and this music has not let go of me ever since. In 2011 I drove an old bike and a trailer over 7000 km from Vancouver to Alaska and back again. I wanted to find peace with my late father and dedicated this tour to him. What do you think, John Fogerty, what kind of music was I going through my senses on the endless highways ?! Yes sir; Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Someday Never Comes, Lodi and many more of your songs have been a constant companion on my tour to Alaska. When I was driving over the Stewart Cassiar Highway at night because I really wanted to reach the Kinaskan Lake campground, a big grizzly bear suddenly lay 10 meters next to me in the grass and looked after me with interest ... at that moment I was mine Heart slipped in the pants. You can imagine that! I just looked ahead to get ahead and when I finally reached the lake on this full moon night your song came to my mind; long as i can see the light. Please excuse my limited knowledge of english. John Fogerty, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and best regards from Germany! Klaus Lüttgen rocktheroads.de
Vastly underrated in the 60s....this music will stand the test of time.
Matthew Mates I’m pretty sure it was a number 2 hit. They have a world record for most #2 hits without ever reaching a number one
My dad introduced me to ccr when I was in middle school. Now my dad has his days numbered due to cancer. Ccr will forever hold a special place in my heart and every time I play them I will continue to think of my dad even when he's long gone from this world. Ccr fan for life.
the back round music of my younger days !
No auto-tune here just pure voice what a legend
man, he can still sing so good.
We were ready to rock out and we waited and waited and finally it was our turn ... there were a half million people asleep. These people were out. It was sort of like a painting of a Dante scene, just bodies from hell, all intertwined and asleep, covered with mud. And this is the moment I will never forget as long as I live: A quarter mile away in the darkness, on the other edge of this bowl, there was some guy flicking his Bic, and in the night I hear, "Don't worry about it, John. We're with you." I played the rest of the show for that guy.
-John Fog recalling Creedence Clearwater Revival's 3:30 a.m. start time at Woodstock
And still one off my favourits, takes me right back to the good old days.
John is part of my youth. Glad to hear he's alive and well. God bless you!!
Gotta love John Fogerty a living legend that gets better with age God Bless Him.
What a voice. You're still killing it.
One of a kind and hard to find in today's music😢
One of the greatest musicians to ever live.
As a kid my weekends were at my dads house. He played CCR non stop and drank beer. I never had so much fun. I miss you dad RIP x
Timeless music just never goes out of fashion
I'm always amazed at how good John Fogerty's voice still is in his 70s. It's clear, pure... natural, not ravaged by time as you'd expect. This video is excellent.
My favorite part is around 39 seconds when Conan is so excited he doesn’t know what to do with his arms. You can tell he loves CCR and this was an great experience for him.
CCR never seemed to get the credit of so many. But they so legend
They are in the hall of fame so I guess they beat it!!!
I couldn't stop smiling. Awesome
Absolutely smashed this song. Great vocals, amazing guitar.
My brother's favorite song. He passed away not quite 2 years ago at age 41. Now everytime I hear this song, I get teary with a smile on my face. He would sing this all the time at the top of his lungs. So, it brings back good memories.
I saw CCR with the Sir Douglas Quintet, in about 1969 (?) at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and it was GREAT. I wore a Nero collared waiter jacket that we bought from the Queen Mary when it ported in Long Beach, and thought I was to cool to be true. There with my parents, who took me, lol. Had some very hip parents, who got into the SoCal music of the times. Was blessed to have seen many bands live during that period (1965-1969), will never forget it. Thanks, Mom and Dad!!!
Asking John Fogerty to play live and see him in old pictures is like having a shower under an umbrella.
At 74 he sounds great. He started right up, no practice no nothing. He has more talent in one finger than most musicians have on one hand.
Not old enough to have seen CCR in concert but have seen John twice in concert. Legend.
