@hardragsutfol don't think so, John Fogerty's released this song in 1975, Status Quo in 1977. Next to that Status Quo had their first hit in 1968 so yeah some people already have heard of them at that time.
Sorry kid ---he could not carry a tune in a paper bag if he was given the bag ...the only reason that columbia carried him for 3 albums was that the kids were buying the noise....and most were stone deaf at the time......grant you he can write and his backup people are great but please, please let others sing his work .....and ...the quo do a much better job of this song!!
My opinion...... after following music for 55 years !!
@summermanable You're taking it all too seriously. When Bruce does these 'covers' at his concerts its the party part, to remind you what fun live music and dancing can be. Alot of his songs are actually quite dark and meaningful and resonate with a worldwide audience for that reason. Have you seen him live? It s a great experience, you come away rejuvenated. I suspect Columbia are quite happy with their signing and a few more of us around the world are too.
@summermanable You can define, "singing" on a way that makes that true if you like. By such a definition, there's probably half a dozen guys in every high school performance of a Rogers and Hammerstein musical with "prettier" voices.
Why do you suppose he's still rocking all over the world 40 years after signing a contract for 3 albums with Columbia Records in 1972? *NO ONE* has performed at his consistent level excellence, writing songs, in the studio, and in concert over the past 4 decades.
@dewolfm Status Quo is a great cover band, for sure. They play this every show and I'm sure Mr. Fogerty appreciates the royalties.
I've seen Bruce 59 times and never seen him play it, except here, on YouTube.
He's a huge John Fogerty fan & has covered, Travelin' Band, Bad Moon Rising, and played with John on Fortunate Son, Centerfield, and others on the Vote For Change tour in October, 2004.
Bruce ain't no cover act. He has 350 songs, about 50 classics, and can only play 25 or so a night.
Why is everyone doing a comparison to the Status Quo version even though it's not their original, and this version is done Live and out of the John Fogerty "setup".
There's a good chance Springsteen never even thought about Quo's version when he decided to cover this. He's friends with Fogerty and was most likely infuenced by Fogerty's original version.
@joebandoe I agree and he messed up the words to,its just terrible to hear.John Fogerty is the ma,Bruce maybe the Boss to his fans,But Fogerty is the Daddy of Rock n Roll IMHO
@SAMMYTHOMAS Oh for pete's sake. How would they have done with the song if John Fogerty hadn't written it? Status quo is a cover band, right? Fogerty had written 50 rock classics. Springsteen, at least a 100.
@Lorenzo84no then freakin tell why they suck it tells me enough that bruce is playing this iff you dont like the quo then why are ya listening to this song?
I was there. I were pregnant. The next time he comes to Sweden I'm gonna take my now 13 year old daughter to see him for the first (2nd ;)) time and the 10th time for me. The. Man. Is. Messias.
You can see that bruce is loving it. Sweden is the place to be i tell ya
