John Fogerty, Rockin all over the world, dream song

[PietroRumenta]

Such a rockin' voice he's got!

[king6120]

4 people arent rockin'

[chg657]

What Creedence COULD have been...

[GZboat1]

John Fogerty wrote a great song and recorded a killer version. Status Quo covered it brilliantly and used it to open Live Aid. What song could possibly have been better to kick off that event? We are doubly blessed. And it's way past time for Live Aid 2. The need is still there.

[acfiorentina]

Gosh, I never bothered to read the credits on the Status Quo album, so I found out only tody that this ong was written by John Fogerty... :-D

[maggie24123]

I love John Fogerty and his voice is so beautiful. T o me, his version has more heart and is better that status quo. CCR are my best group ever and when john went on his own, he took his magic with him :)

[suziQ27]

just makes you want to get up and dance...

I like it~

[Sunchild333]

The fact that this video has just over 100 000 views, while Status Quo version has over 2 million, is proof that Status Quo are commercial rock'n'roll. And from my point of view that sucks big time.

[hectorsalinasisback]

@Sunchild333 Nobody likes commercial music, but Status Quo arent making crappy pop music or hip hop. This situation is the same as Carole King, because she wrote lots of songs that became hits for other artists and not many people read the songwriting credits to realize she wrote those hits!

[Sunchild333]

@hectorsalinasisback You have your point but to me commercial rock is only 1% better than other commercial crap. The biggest reason why people don't have a clue about credits is probably the fact that nobody buys albums these days...they just download what they hear on the radio.

[bikerdude990]

I have been listening to Status Quo and have become a fan, they play real fun rock and roll, I cant pick a favorite for rockin all over the world, but I thank the Quo lovers for turning me on to a great band.

Tom

[verySkillfulTKS]

@bikerdude990 Status Quo didn't write this song

[def90cars]

Of course this is the original... but I love the Quo.... so can I say they both have their merits?

[0MetalllicA]

lol, you actually can't compare this song to the version of quo. They are actually complete different genres, but both are great :D

[linny1955]

looking to buy this on CD but very expensive on Amazon , any help appreciated on where to buy.

[MrFenderkev]

I love the Quo version, but this is even better!

[DougPatton1]

Quo failed their audition to be Big Johnny C Fogerty's bagmen !

[goomba17]

Quo's version is a harder rock sound.

[DaveWollenberg]

John hit #27 in Billboard, 11-1-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[fredquimbythe23rd]

Well, bikerdude990; I can't agree that Status Quo's gopping version of this great Fogerty song is 'heavier' in any way. This is the way it was written to sound. Unfortunately most people think that Status Quo wrote it. Fogerty is simply one of the best true rockers ever to stand up with a guitar in front of a crowd. It's great that he's back and sounding as good as ever.

[maggie24123]

In my humble opinion these 2 songs are the best EVER recorded out of any other band in the world :):):):):):)

[MegaObserver1]

This could have been a HUGE hit for Fogerty, but he refused to tour, do TV appearances or any radio/press interviews to support it or the album. The critics loved this song but the public hardly heard it. It did make the Billboard Top 40, though.

[SocialiteHeiress19]

Thank you grandpa for having awesome party tunes :]

[linny1955]

If John Fogerty did'nt compose this then Quo couldnt have recorded it . Simple.

[kringles4]

The greatest composers/musicians/acts of all time...it may be John Fogerty and Paul McCartney....a dream would be to see them collaborate someday....

[WiccansEatShit]

@kringles4 John Fogerty was Gay for Merle Haggerd and used to have cocaine induced orgys with him and Johnny Paycheck.

[StevieReidEFC]

@WiccansEatShit You sir, are a tit.

[pete7356]

@WiccansEatShit You SAD person

[Bunkerlab19]

@WiccansEatShit wtf do u listen to? i gurantee its stupid eminem. rap is just swearing into a mic

[markmartel]

Status Quo version - really good. John Fogerty original version - awesome; way better. No comparison. Not even in the same league.

[NoWayMissMusic]

I don't really care what you think. Any of you americans. Yes, John wrote the song but have you ever been to a Status Quo concert? Well, I've seen both acts live and I can quite easily say that Status Quo's version really rocks a million times more than this does.

[TheFacelessActivist]

@NoWayMissMusic

Did they like, provide all participants of the Status Quo concert with obligatory lobotomies...?

[jimpepsiful]

I really like the way this song just rocks your socks off the way rockand roll is soppose to be.

[StevieReidEFC]

I know that 'Rockin all over' is one of the best rock anthems ever, but bloody hell how good is 'Dream Song'? It really tugs at your heart (especially in the 'Dixieland' verse) - J.F certainly has a way of capturing emotion in the simplest of songs.

[bobu46]

What a rockin' version - think it's the best one (Rockin' all over the world).

And his interpretation of the Dream Song is unique,too !

THANX !!

[MACHAWK123]

It's a gem of a song and I knew the song well before the Quo version. I was a Quo fan at the time and I wasn't overly impressed with their version then but have simply grown to love both versions.

[EseMalditoMojarra]

ES COMO ESTAR EN 1977 ESCUCHANDO EL VINILO !!!!! PERFECTO ME CAE UN LAGRIMON

[HeatherMeadow]

Did you know, the ratio of people who are wrong to people who are right is 1:60

[ThreeDaysSasuke]

What I heard was "Get a life, get a life, get a life!!"

What does it really say? >_>

[dragecv]

@ThreeDaysSasuke and I like it, I like it, I like it, I la-la I like it

[ThreeDaysSasuke]

@dragecv Oh, thanks.

[MrSmokeydog]

Everyone seems to have their own opinions on songs . And even though I prefer

this the original version of this song over Status Quo's cover. I personally think

that another song that John Fogerty recorded during his solo career. "Almost Saturday Night". was done better by "Dave Edmunds" his vocal style and energy made the song more powerful in my opinion then John Fogertys original version.

[TheRowGow]

Eggs and stuff ony eat this tonight forever,,, and ever

[Batistaberg]

originals are always the best

[StevieReidEFC]

This original song is a powerful and stirring anthem. Quo's anaemic cover version sounds like a sparrow fart coming down a phone line in comparison. Keep on rocking J.C.Fogerty! Thanks for a great posting.

[studioRAF]

Love Creedence,

Love Quo,

Love Rock & Roll,

No need to argue.

[BBQFanNo1]

Bought the album two years after it was released by Fogerty. The best post CCR song ever done.

[BBQFanNo1]

I remember when I bought this LP in 1977.

[GlenQuagmireful]

So incredibly brilliant! Fogerty is so underrated. As I grow old he is one of the few people I relate to aside from Elvis and Jesus. Keep on rocking in the free world John!

[petercriscuola]

@GlenQuagmireful

jesus??

[fogerty1945]

This is Rock'n Roll. Fogerty is the best.

They should play this version on the radio, not the version of Status Quo!!!

[Maiten52]

@fogerty1945 Tienes razon no hay en el mundo alguien con la voz y la creatividad de john fogerty ,John ,John eternamente.

[bikerdude990]

Rockin' All Over the World" is a rock song by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival. It made its debut on Fogerty's second solo album (see John Fogerty) in 1975. Status Quo recorded their own, heavier arrangement of Fogerty's song for their 1977 album Rockin' All Over the World. It is this version which is best known and most played all over the world.

[MrSmokeydog]

@bikerdude990 Yeah I dig Creedence and Fogerty and this song smokes and

I made a comment on one of the other versions of this song by Status Quo

just stating how better the vocals are and how much more upbeat the original

version and those Brits just started layin in to me saying how the Quo's version

blew Fogerty's away well suffice to say those crazy brits can blow something else

[StevieReidEFC]

@MrSmokeydog I'm a Brit mate and those dickheads wouldn't know rock if it kicked them up the arse! Fogerty's original is the one only!

[PurpleInTheDeep]

@MrSmokeydog Both versions are good, but it's Status Quo's version more known than Fogerty's. That's life. No need to argue. Speaking of the vocals, yeah, John Fogerty has a stronger voice than Francis Rossi, but the beat and arrangement is poor compared to the Quo's song. I prefer the Status Quo version.

[barrygoldwater100]

@bikerdude990 Kinda the same thing as Tina Turner and Proud Mary

CCR For the Win!

[skezzbassist1]

Nice, I'd only heard the Status Quo version up till now (though I've known for a few years that it was a cover), this is pretty damn good, I must say. Love both versions, in all fairness, though the vocals on this definately outstrip those on the Status Quo version.

[tommyrotter]

This reminds me of Honky Tonk Women. The Stones should do a version.

[wiesBadisch]

Concert Mainz Germany 17. July 2010; it was great!

[Liempdischil1]

CCR rocks forever!

Gr: HollandXD

[Spikerock12]

@Liempdischil1 Goooo Belgium!! :D

[landofthefreeuk]

Now this IS ROCKIN ...rather more than the Quo version. Its loose...and tight. Better guitars than the plodders too!

[saaamcollins]

Go Fogerty!! way better voice for this song that Status Quo! This is a rocker! CCR forever. No other music like this.

[kringles4]

Yep, 1975, and so amazing that this really sputtered out on the charts in the USA.........could be John's finest....thank you for posting this magical classic.

Joe.

[ioriorioriorio]

went out and bought this gem brand new in 73 or so.....every bit as good as any ccr record.....country meets r+b meets carl perkins...fantastic stuff.

[sliv812]

The Status Quo version of "Rockin' All Over The World" became a #3 pop hit single over in the UK in late 1977, exactly two years after this original version by Mr. Fogerty was released and peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in America. Sorry Brits, it's Mr. Fogerty's song, not Status Quo's (he wrote it anyway).

[gooseholla1]

@sliv812 Yup - blame Quo for being one song short on their album!

[jorsotts]

i never heard of status quo before or there version till now...Still a Johnn Fogerty Fan By FAR And Will Always Be

[PeterZeeke]

quo made it their own, but respect is due to the Fogerty

[sec101]

John Fogerty is badass guy, I love this dude. So great music

[doubleotwentyone]

Great stuff ~ love JF's stuff...

[MrPitbull512]

i like status quo version best this version is still hackin awesome

[MACHAWK123]

The original version and absolutley perfect - such a classic track. It the UK most people think of this as a Status Quo song - I love both versions

[KingAlex1994]

keep on rocking =)

[fietsvriend]

To Laura, courageous sailing-girl, hope your dream will come true next year!!

[MarekAd]

yes, the both songs are great, good choice
