Creedence Clearwater Revival: C or D?

Put a candle in the window

Just saw Lorraine, she says hi

Probably synced after the fact, but I've never seen this:

What happy fellows. Born on the bayou with leather trousers on.

Love this band. "Willy the Poor Boys" is still my favorite, but it especially gets a lot of play around election time thanks to "It Came Out of the Sky," "Don't Look Now," "Fortunate Son" and "Effigy." Fogerty wrote some the sharpest political commentary in rock, maybe the best before the punk era.

Someone in the official Tom Fogerty FB group shared this photo of the band from October 1980, at Tom’s wedding. They played a few songs that night, first CCR performance since 1972. First quartet performance since 1970, and the last ever. pic.twitter.com/bPRCKWn6Q2

You stare at this photo and ask yourself, “Could John Fogerty possibly improve upon this look? Could he more effectively convey that it’s 1980?” And the clouds part and a beam of heavenly light delivers you this. pic.twitter.com/Py944VxSrz

OMG. Feel like I am related to several people in that picture.

i want to live inside that photo

I am flashing back to when I did live in it.

I can smell the Salems on that leather jacket.

lol. I remember that moment when being a kid when I was old enough to borrow books from the adult section of the library and noticed that some of the more popular blockbusters in the 7-Days Only section had a strong smell to them which it took me quite a long time to identify as cigarette odor.

Forgerty playing an Explorer!

Afterwards he had it cut down into a baseball bat.

lol

revive delivers

Other guitar player in the amber-tinted glasses totally looks like my uncle who was smoking up his branch's copies of those Martin Caidin el al protectively-covered hardbacks whose daughter became a librarian.

insane to me that i didn't have this thread bookmarked.

Too cool for a suit eh
And yeah I can totally smell that jacket. And hear it.

Get out the good ashtrays, guests are coming!

JF looks like he can't wait to bail in both pics

he looks like a character from a cop show of the era

Evokes the decade about as well as this tune does the previous

cool shit!

There’s an official Tom Fogerty FB page...

Er, group. I mean, I’m just trying to process that one exists. Great pics, obv.

WTF? Tom Fogerty made FIVE solo albums between '72 & '81!

"shipped gold, returned platinum"

I just had a brief flick through some Tom solo tracks, 'harmless' is what I take away from his post-Creedence career.

i like-a way you woak
i like-a way you toak

John Fogerty, 75 years young yesterday!

keep returning to the woodstock set, its so so SO GOOD

it really is

Lodi is their best song

Nope. Green River

ramble tamble or pagan baby

Someday never fucking comes

Nope not that one

Old man down the road vs centerfield

Run through the Jungle!!!

But yeah Lodi is definitely up there.

Pretty remarkable the vibe they work up on Bayou with just a tremolo effect on the guitar and a single 7th chord. Guess that’s a testament to the rhythm section

classic

A lot of it comes directly from Pop Staples, no? Which I believe may be discussed upthread.

Not this thread but a Fogerty sibling thread

Around the Bend
midnight special
someday never comes
run through the jungle

Apparently there’s a 2016 thriller film called midnight special starring Michael Shannon and Kirsten dunst???. “Shannon plays a father who escapes with his son from both the government and a cult after they discover that his son has special powers.l”

indeed

I've seen it, but that's all I can really say about it.

Have you seen Lorraine?

I just read the older version of the RAH gig which I have on cd somewhere possibly still and haven't heard in an age is actually from Oakland.
Not heard that before .Is it like widely known?

RAH? Robert Anson Heinlein?
