is there footage of CCR there, or were they not filmed? they're not in the movie, right?
― tylerw, Friday, 18 February 2011 18:24 (thirteen years ago) link
not in the movie as far as i know, or at least the regular cut that they showed on PBS when i was a kid...dylan, the band, tim hardin, mountain, the grateful dead lots of others performed as well and weren't in
i think albert goldman had a dispute with the filmmakers and pulled all his artists, which was part of the omissions

dylan didn't pla woodstock - i think they begged him to, though. & yeah, ISB are sort of notorious for bombing miserably at woodstock.

CCR's Woodstock performances are youtube-linked upthread. They performed and went over very well but it was Fogerty's decision to not be included in the film, which really irritated the other bandmembers (similar to his insistence on them never doing encores). Their performance was not included in the theatrical release of the film, nor was it included on the record, or in subsequent reissues of the film in other formats.

Some of their performances are included in the bonus features on the latest DVD edition of Woodstock. They're on the cd box as well, tho I think it's not all the same songs.

Never really got into these dudes until recently, thanks to my boss playing them relentlessly. I could've really used a "everything but the greatest hits" collection to start with, but I've bought most of their albums for less than $15 all together. And they rule, and I'm dumb for missing out.

^ Rockin' the Rickenbacker in that clip! I've noticed this trend in old music clips where once the guitar solo starts they suddenly pan to something totally boring, like the vibrating drum head or the bassist smiling. It's like it never occurred to them to show the goddam solo.
But man, Fogerty's voice ....

I need to read the biographies.Mark Prindle was talking about what I think was a Fogerty memoir a few weeks back that sounded like it should be pretty revelatory.& there's a thick tome written by somebody else I think, I'm picturing it as being about the same size as the expanded Timeless flight not sure why.
& the lps are pretty necessary. I'd say particularly Bayou Country but that might be subjective.& I do enjoy the 1st lp which I don't think everybody does.& the live sets I have are pretty great, would love some more earlier ones though.I think I mainly have from '69

I do enjoy the 1st lp which I don't think everybody does
Skipping the first one means you don't get their "I Put a Spell On You" and "Ninety-Nine and a Half Just Won't Do" (two of Fogerty's best vocals), the long version of "Susie Q," and "Walk on the Water," one of the great lost psych-garage songs that I am amazed more bands (or any besides Richard Hell, afaict) don't cover.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 12:47 (seven years ago) link
I know I had the first LP years ago, but I had no recollection of "Walk on the Water" until I just listened now. Great song!

Yeah Walk on the Water is my favourite track off the 1st album. It's a good record, not quite in the same league as Green River or Cosmo's Factory but it's probably my 3rd favourite CCR LP.

The CCR Live at Woodstock 2LP is fucking great. The rhythm section is incredible: about 8-9 minutes into Keep on Chooglin', after the 3 minute harmonica solo is followed by a destructive guitar solo, with Doug Clifford just in motorik lockstep for 5 minutes, my wife said, "I feel like I am getting run over by a train."

That album looks great. Has a cover of one of my all-time favorite Wilson Pickett jams, “Ninety-Nine and a Half ( Just Won’t Do).” Looking forward to listening. Hey, instrumental break on “Born On The Bayou” sounds like “Lady Godiva’s Operation.”

For years didn't Fogerty think the band's Woodstock performance was sub par? Or was he just holding a grudge because the Dead's performance forced CCR to go on at like 2am?

Pete Townshend thought Woodstock was The Who's second-worst performance.
Fogerty, or at least whoever it is that signs off on CCR stuff, has loosened up on the Woodstock performance for a while now, as bits and pieces have been coming out legitimately on different CD comps and DVD/Blu-rays since at least the 40th anniversary.
