Creedence Clearwater Revival – Live At Woodstock (CD)
Product Details
John Fogerty has said CCR played Woodstock in the dead of night, performing to a crowd of half a million people somewhere around 3am after days of delays. That exhausted, rain-soaked audience got one of the tightest sets of the entire festival, a reminder that CCR's swamp-rock precision was a genuine anomaly in an era of extended psychedelic looseness. Held from release for five decades, this recording restores a missing chapter in the band's live legacy.
This long sought-after release celebrates the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, by giving fans a front-row seat to relive CCR’s stirring, hour-long set as it was performed that historic night in August of 1969. Kicking off with “Born on the Bayou,” the album features the band’s biggest singles of the day, plus selections off their first three LPs, including “Commotion,” “Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won’t Do)” and “Bootleg.” Full of creative energy, John, Tom, Stu, and Doug delve deep into their music, playing extended improvisations of “I Put a Spell on You,” “Keep on Chooglin’” and “Suzie Q.”
