Why the hell can’t music like this still be made?? Not overproduced, not computer snapped together shit, no synth voice machime. Just pure music from the instruments and a real singer using his real voice 👍👍
Best Suzie Q version ever.
not even close to Johnny W.
@@user-lw6cq6ez7l Look up the word "subjectivity", thanks!
@@user-lw6cq6ez7l Johnny Winter? LOL The first version by Dale Hawkins was the best classic.I believe the great James Burton played guitar on it.
This long version was VERY rarely heard on the radio. And is VERY rarely heard to this day. Nice! All that instrumental is usually omitted.
This is the first time I recall hearing it.
It's the kinda thing you'd hear on FM, late night on a Tuesday, as the DJ went out for a smoke... They'd sometimes play whole album sides, in the wee hours. ;-]
@@robertcartier5088 Exactly....short version on AM radio and long version on FM. I remember in high school, people saying "Have you heard the long version?"
Yeah, I don’t think I every heard this version before either.
@@robertcartier5088 Those were the days...
I saw Creedence in 69. When they did this song in concert, it was even longer. To end the song, they did it with this weird ending where they just slowly stopped playing each instrument, one at a time, until all that was happening on stage was a low rumble coming from John's guitar that slowly faded out. We, the audience, were just stunned, nobody said a word or even clapped. It was just silence. It was like they had hypnotized us all. Then, after about a minute and a half, without even looking at each other, they burst into a hard rocker and brought us all back from wherever they had taken us. I've never had an experience like that before or since.
What a great memory!
CCR was good enough to play Woodstock...that speaks volumes doesn't it?
@@johnhalverson1133 Creedence was the first band that was contracted!!!!
Woodstock would never have happened because I saw on a documantary that it first would be organized at another place.
The local people and farmers at that place finally decided they didn't want all those "hippies" hanging around (we talk only about 30.000)
So the organisation had no place and had to cancel it and the artists. But they kept searching and than in Bethel (New York) a milkfarmer Max Yasgur said they could use his ground. They could start a festival but most money and artist had gone. Somebody new that CCR was free in the planned weekend after they signed other bands followed.
Lucky duck!
I'm 69. I can relate to your experience. I saw Santana in early 70's and was so into the music I became unaware of my surroundings feeling I was sitting there listening to the music by myself. Snapped back at the end of the song.
Simple and not over produced.
For a band that was only together for a few years to put out such music.......
Suzy Q, Bad moon Rising, Grapevine,........
Once again, best gig in the world is Tom Fogerty on rhythm guitar. Better even than David Knopfler for Dire Straits.
Dam...those were the days of great rock & blues.
... Green River, Up Around The Bend, Ramble Tamble, Cross Tie Walker...
@@daveperala4723 I have a greatest hits vinyl compilation. It’s 3 records. Every song is legit.
@@David-iv6je Not so fast, so after leading the band for so many years as the Blue Velvets and the Golliwogs your younger brother takes over lead vocals and song writing and all of a sudden your just the rhythm guitar player?
1969 was around the time "underground" FM rock radio was born and this was a staple of the time, often the full version being played. Another one I strongly remember is the Chambers Brothers "Time has come today".
Good Stank Face guys.
CCR’s cover of “I Put A Spell On You”, is another guitar treat and great blues song!! You did it 4 years ago but it may be worth another listening!
Phenomenal song!
They hit that song already
Also, ninety-nine and half (won't do), wilson pickett cover.
Oh yeah, fantastic suggestion!
I was going to say the same
I'm 72 years old. I have greatly enjoyed watching your growing to appreciate the music that is like a soundtrack to my life. I'm glad that y'all have come to realize that you are looking back and time is compressed. Hell, I had to wait sometimes years for the next release of a new album. You have it all placed out for you to enjoy now. Rock on!
I feel the same! A & A are giving me "a soundtrack to my life", well put! And it is all there for their listening; not like they have to wait for their favorite bands to release a new album, I remember the excitement and anticipation of it. (Wonder if they feel that about any band now?) I clearly remember when my friend Cheryl brought Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album to school, just to show it to us when it was first released! Waiting for the latest Led Zeppelin album, all new and exciting stuff! Those were the days, eh?
Great observation. We heard it all come out song by song. They hear it in whatever random order they get to it.
I'm 67 and I'm sitting here getting lost in the song with you guys. It's been a long time since I listened to this song. 😎🇺🇸
Have a great weekend and a great life!
My dad was a massive fan, and CCR was the band that was on constantly in our house, road trips, backyard, you name it.
Same, except I'm 65.
@@jameskirschling7887 Barely behind you guys.
I'll be 65 in a couple months. It's fun to see younger people enjoy this music
@@fredmckinley4660 I don't know if you watch The Robb Squad. They're a fun young couple to watch also.
I can't wait not to listen to it again. I'm sixty since we are saying ages. Too bad I wasn't here to say FIRST also.
This was a time when the best musicians were bold enough to be experimental, but also wise enough to keep it simple. Sometimes less is more, and CCR just showed us the truth of that saying.
He's definitely an underrated guitarist. And on top of that, if you hear just a tiny bit of his guitar playing, you can instantly recognize that it's him. You can only truly say that about a handful of guitarists.
Enough with the "underrated" remarks. Just stop.
Hey--guess what? I can post whatever I'd like. And my underrated remark had to do with something they said--which was that they felt he was underrated== so please get over yourself.
Suzy Q's original guitarist was James Burton, who basically invented the Lead by putting Banjo strings on a guitar. Played with Ricky Nelson on the Ozzie and Harriet Show in the 50's bringing rock to America, then went on to be Elvis' guitarist. The man deserves his props
Up there with the very best bands of all time. This simply proves it
It don't get more Swampy than this 😮 😎🤠🎸🎸🎸
Born On The Bayou is. ✌️
Any tony joe white song is…
I need my.waders on for this.
Try born on the bayou
Rare to hear the extended version. Nice!
2 a.m. driving along a lonely beach road in Florida with a full moon glistening on the water and jamming to this is a vivid memory. I felt like I was in a different time and space. Good night
and memory.
It is cruising in my friend's grape 65 Cuda in a small Texas town.
Glittering it shimmering, I think?
A friend and I had one of those time and space experiences sitting under an interstate bridge and jamming on Springsteen’s Jungleland. Something happened to time, I can’t explain it. Also had experiences many times to Ten Years After’s Rock and Roll Music To the World album.
You can never go wrong with CCR. Fogherty's guitar is just nasty and Stu Cook's bass on this song is 🔥🔥🔥
I will never get over the fact that CCR was from Cali and they do the swamp blues so well. I need my waders for this.
This was huge in '68! You couldn't listen to the radio very long without hearing it. My uncle had just gotten his driver's license and he and 8 year old me were driving along one day and it came on the radio, he said I'm getting tired of hearing this so much, so he punched the pre set button on the old Rambler AM radio, and it was playing on that station too! He says NO! Hit the next pre set, same thing! 4 times in a row. I was laughing my butt off 😂
Lovely memory!💕
Rambler. My uncle had a rambler. It was my husband's first car. Memory spark there.
LOL, great story!
I’m pretty sure Suzie Q was their first song to get significant air play. When it was heard, it caught people’s attention. It made them a major band immediately.
Yeah, it was CCR's first major hit and put them on the map.
Iconic tune. Everybody of a certain age who lived through the era is transported back to this era when they hear this song. Also, the songtrack to my favorite scene of Apocalypse Now.
I was gonna say the same thing. Love that scene. Plays out exactly like you'd expect it to.
And now, when we watch the movie and we know this scene is coming up, the boat is slowly approaching the lights and the noise, we can feel the tension building and that air of mystic surrealism starts developing, so that by the time the scene starts we're fully prepped and immersed in the atmosphere, and it's so alien and out of place from the rest of the movie that it stands out and we remember it always.
That's some master level filmmaking right there.
@@jefff3886 A great film with a phenomenal soundtrack. This is a film to be watch on a large screen with surround sound.
I have never until now, heard this entire song. Often heard radio edit.
Welcome to the club Brother!
I bought this album in 1968 when it first came out just because of this song. I brought it home & played Susie Q over & over again for about two hours until my mom came into my room & unplugged my stereo! LOL🤣🎶🎸🎵
Rock and roll songs don't get much better than this one! ....remember that CCR was the biggest band in the World in 1970 ...bigger than the Beatles. This is 'S" tier!!! It was very cool to watch your reaction to this masterpiece of rock production.
Quintessential late 60's music. Ridiculously great song.
Many years when the song was on the radio, my grandparents maid said that Suzie Q was a dance when she was young, living in Mississippi.
Tap dancers know that the Suzy Q is a dance step.
Hypnotic. Not many bands pull that off. It's gotta come natural like.
I’m British. CCR are American. And I love them.
That's why we cousins dude............
I’m Australian and I LOVE CCR! My brother introduced me to them when I was about 12! AMAZING!
I'm american and kinda love the Beatles. Touche😅
Always make me think of Apocalypse Now USO scene.
Same. Specifically, I remember watching Apocalypse Now in HS English class while we were studying Heart of Darkness. This is the one scene the teacher couldn't sit through, he left the room for a few minutes.
You beat me to it.
Yep, I was stationed overseas and they use to bring in groups like the Dallas Cowboys Chear leaders in the '80s after I saw Apocalypse and when they were getting everyone fired up, all I could think about was those guys hanging from the helicopter skids as they tried to evacuate the bunnies as this song played.
@@ChadSmith-ef4luWas he a Vietnam Veteran?
Fogerty was a great singer. One of the best ever ❤️
I've never rocked so hard with two reactors. Tasty, tasty licks...the train harmonics, omg ....ohhh Suzy Q!
one time a radio station that was going off the air played this all day on their last day
I remember the elementary school bus driver jamming to this song while he was driving us around. It was earlier than 5th grade, for sure. I have always loved this song.
It's sad so many people are stuck on heavy metal and don't give bands like CCR the credit they deserve
@@Tbass-yy8uc Not so sure it’s heavy metal many folks are stuck on. But many folks do prefer heavier rock sounds, but not what I’d call heavy metal. CCR is one of the rare bands that successfully made it on both rock and pop radio with pretty much every hit it had.
you think it's the taylor swift and snoop dog fans keeping CCR music alive?
I'm a metal head who actually likes most genres of music. I have an ever-expanding list of musical artists ranging from primitive up to now and has 1785 artists currently. Sounds like you could use some metal in your life, friend.
@@vvoof2601 well I feel like you're a small group of heavily mentors. Most I know are just one minded
oh, I don't know. a LOT of people still listen to this group.
Great music from a time when long songs were cool. It was a musical trip. I hate to sound like an old Boomer, but they made music, they didn't just manipulate machines and computers. Nice review guys. Somehow I appreciate it more now than I did then. Thanks again for your review.
Thanks for playing the long version
You guys should remember that you’ve been listening to CCR’s catalog backwards. Susie Q was the first song of theirs that I heard, just before I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in March 1969.
Psychedelic swamp. Great riff driving the song. The solo has a Neil Young type garage band rawness.
Great description. It has that same spontaneity that Neil Young and Crazy Horse had.
OMG, you have still not done their original "Proud Mary." That is next. I have not heard this gem in a long time, so juicy. I mostly love the constant, long rhythm section throughout. It's just bubbling sauce.
Zone out with your beverage of choice and fade into the relentless groove. This record is a dirty masterpiece.
So much of their music is tied into the zeitgeist of the Vietnam era, the people that served then and the movies about that era.
Me in 1973, headphones, stereo, joint, jammin! Love this music
Such a jam. I love this tune. On the 8-track, it would change tracks in the middle of the song because it runs so long. So I got very used to hearing that big “ka-thunk” of the track change right in the middle of the jam.
CCR released 7 studio albums of new material between 1968-1972.
That kind of output is unheard of these days.
What makes CCR so great is they know what they are musically. When they do a cover they can make their choices and make the cover authentically CCR. When anyone hears CCR they instantly know who they are listening to and what they are going to get.
According to John Fogerty, George Harrison told John Fogerty "The Beatles like Creedence" at a party in the late sixties.
My favorite Beatle he was a riot.
Where does this information come from?
@@SbastienAlbot I watched it on a video with John Fogerty telling the story. I think it is on John's youtube channel.
I also read somewhere The Beatles loved CCR's version of "Midnight Special", which is a very cool version. Makes me think the swampy sound of "Come Together" was inspired by CCR?
@@iamtoothewalrus George put out bankrolled the Monty Python movies and Space Bandits as he had a wicked sense of humour as him and Ringo display in his solo song Fab ie the ladder.
Lawd yesss......they weren't tone deaf..........LOL
Could listen to CCR all day.
I had a CCR greatest hits cd stuck in my car player. I never get tired of CCR but eventually I had to give it a break 😂
The #1 band in the world from 1968-1970 - outsold every other musician or band during those years. They had like 15 Top #40 hits, but they weren't just commercial - they were raw, real, and powerful too. A highly under-appreciated band. And John Fogerty was one of music's great geniuses - top notch writer, great vocalist, and underrated guitarist. His sound is instantly recognizable.
That 70's fuzzy guitar sound......love it!
And there they go, just adding their CCR swamp to it. Swampy, swampy!! I love it!!!
I forgot how much I loved this
CCR is just one of those bands, banger after banger without breaking a sweat.
My dad used to sing this song to me. He passed away from cancer 15 years ago. This song always makes me cry..in a good way. (Just the main chorus)
Fogerty never gets credit for his guitar work....he is good, really good.
Probably because he doesn't shred, but I appreciate his guitar playing more, he plays for the song, he's very much a blues-style guitarist.
@@garymaidman625 No wasted notes....🙂
@@Straydoggerexactly, my favourite current artist, Chris Stapleton, is exactly the same and is hugely influenced by John Fogerty, in addition to many blues artists.
Just like Merle Haggard. Does all his own lead work. Rarely mentioned.
He is indeed. Also, his son is even better than him, and that was about a decade ago I saw John's band on PBS. I bet he's way better now. I don't know if he learned from Dad, but the young man is a beast !
Unbelievable that they put so much out in 4 short years from 1968 to 1972. "Suzy Q" was their first hit and in my opinion should rate an "S" for such a great production and this being the first.
Oh, definitely an S-tier song. No question. I'm so glad you hit the long version.
Dale Hawkins recorded this in 1957 or 8. It was great then, & Credence does a fantastic job reviving this classic. They also remade I Put A Spell On You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins & nailed that one too.
Creedence is great! Jethro Tull Stand Up needs a listen.
Stand Up is one of my favorite albums. I've recommended it as a full album reaction and individual songs from it many times.
No doubt! Stand Up is an awesome album, all great tunes, have already recommended this. But A & A don't seem to like Jethro Tull, dunno why.
@@adrianstevens2146, they love them every time they do a reaction, then there's a big lag until the next one, and then when they return to Tull Alex says something like: "I sometimes forget just how good Jethro Tull are."
One of the most underrated jam bands of the era, and one of the few that consistently put out Top 40 hits. ✌️❤️🎶
Enough with the "underrated" remarks. Just stop.
@@villebillie1562 🤣🤣🤣
Andy was THOROUGHLY enjoying that.
CCR is definitely a well deserved, worthy Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted band.
....talk about "lost in the sauce".... we're lost in a big bowl of chips n salsa with CCR and Suzy Q .
When you got it, you got it. CCR took the world by storm and continues to do so. They were so raw and honest with their music. I have been listening to CCR for 50 years. And everytime you listen to them it feels like the first time. I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly feel their music to my core. Thanks guys, great reaction.
One of my favorite bands of all time!
I love the dark and ominous vibe running through this song. I also love the part where they go "ooooooh, ooooooh"
When your band is so new that you have just enough pot to get inspired but not enough to smoke until you procrastinate on rehearsal
Excellent description.
CCR...my first concert, 1969...I was 14. Couldn't ask for a better baptism into live rock. Only knew 3 or 4 songs as I had to sneak around to listen to FM radio back then (Dad had to be gone and my siblings busy with other stuff). I was not prepared for this song when they played it..at all. Blew me clean away.
It was the original version of this tune that the world found out James Burton was a guitar god among men, and the Harrison's, Clapton's, Beck's, Page's, Townsend's, etc, of the world took note. LEGEND
That cymbal ride was perfect
The entire drum groove is hypnotic.
One of my favourite songs to drum,seems easy,but you have to concentrate not to get swept up
Got to watch their performance at the Royal Albert Hall!
Lennon to the royal family: "For our last number I’d like to ask your help. Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry." That needs to be carved into something.
You're saying that the production is very mature and yet this is their first album......WOW
Not only first album, three of the dudes were only about 23 years old when this came out. They were born in 1945.
@@NigelIncubatorJones the boys had been playing in John's older brother Tom's bands for years , honing their craft .
Just goes to show a good producer could make or break a group back then. Now too probly. Dont know who produced Suzie Q but gonna look it up...
@@andychisarick6879 I've always wondered how much or how little say, a band would have in the production of a song or album
@@rubroken I think it depended a little on the producer & even more on the label. If the label said, we want it to sound like THIS, then the record was probly doomed. Being ruled over by a bunch of suits that dont know music. A producer is different. If a band is inexperienced, they oughta listen even more heavily to the producer than a veteran band. I know Al Kooper, Skynyrd's producer, said he gave the band 100% of his expertise & how much the band took advantage of, well it was up to the band. Worked for Skynyrd. But Kooper, imo, was exceptionally talented. I only know what I've read but thats my 2 cents worth.
Absolutely love watching you guys gush over my favorite band of all time! Pagan Baby and Keep on Chooglin' next! PLEASE!! Two more incredible bangers!❤
Yesss! Love this song and so many others of CCR’s! 🙂👍✌️
It's been a long time since I've heard the long version. Thanks, guys.
Among the best bands of that era, my years growing up. Glad you put the long version.
This song bumps.
GOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY! ☮️💟♾️
Heard it through the grapevine was written by 2 composers for motown but i love the CCR version
This was such a long song that you had to turn the 45rpm over to finish it on the second side, and everyone would stop dancing and wait patiently for someone to turn the record over. Shades of junior high dances in the gym! ❤
Gotta hit their original version of Proud Mary at some point.
Mighty song. Mighty.
I'm over 40 years old, and I've never heard this long version. It's amazing! The sound quality is really good, and the stereo perspective is put to full use. Great reaction guys.
Best band ever ❤️
Walk on the Water is another banger from this album.
Nostalgia inducing gold.
What I love about this is how Doug Clifford's foot never stops walking throughout the entire song. Keeps it moving steadily forward through all the psychedelic effects. It reminds me a lot of the live version of Plastic Fantastic Lover by The Jefferson Airplane.
They always make such easy listening, sing-along songs
☮️❤️🙏🌍🌎🌏🇺🇸❤️☮️
This is psychedelic CCR. I remember tripping balls to this album and this song made me see some cool shit. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT*** You shouldn't trip balls to anything these days. It was a different time.
Yes, nice disclaimer. Tripping balls was a lot of fun back in the day but it is very hard on the whole body. But then again if you didn't trip balls once or twice you weren't really there! 😅
Just sparked one, imagining Ball Tripper to the tune of Day Tripper.
I second that PSA!
John Fogerty is underrated in every facet--as a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, producer. He truly didn't know HOW to create a bad song. Plus, the rest of the band were amazing musicians, too.
Fantastic, boys! The extended version is the shit.
Was in HS 68 when this came out .. no idea it was a cover .. didn’t have the ability to investigate .. just had AM radio .. IAE love CCR music ..
All time classic song! Cosmo's Factory is one of my all time fave albums! dbl ♥
Might have to check patron later...
They were at there peak for only four years. But what a great four years of music that they produced.
This was CCR's Day in the Life. Very goovy.
My wife is a Suzie - so yeah I dig this song!
Ha-ha! Perfect❤
This reminds me of my brother when he was serving in Vietnam~ he loved them
Also on this album is my favorite CCR tune Walk on the Water. If you like their psychedelic jams, you will love Walk on the Water.
It was January 1971 and we were turning left into the funeral home of my dad's funeral.... This song was playing and I can't forget that moment every time I hear this.... Nevertheless I love this song even though it reminds me of a tough time in my life.... I was only 9 years old.
So sorry about losing your dad so young. Marking that moment with a piece of music is bitter sweet. Hope all your memories of your dad are good.
I love the late sixties when all sorts of different bands were dipping their toes in the pool of psychedelia…. It made for so many cool tunes. This is an epic example. It kinda reminds me of Wilson Pickett’s “Get me Back on Time Engine Number Nine”
I got this album when it first came out. There was nothing like it at the time. When I saw John Fogerty in his Pendelton and scarf, with those cool guitar riffs and raspy vocals, I decided he was about the coolest person I had ever seen in my fourteen years!! Been a fan since, 55 years later! Cheers\=/\=/
