[leedeecee]

[Infinitevoid101]

Oh that red white and blue!

[quannrl]

this is a GOOD FUCKING SONG!!

[LastCaress7]

*U.S. soldier in vietnam looking up as Huey gunships fly overhead*

[dickassman420]

Hear*

[dickassman420]

im such a fortunate son i heard about this say way before it was cool to here about this song,,,,,,,,,,, suck on that bitches!!!

[TylerDaltonShaw]

The music industry has always been kinda downhill, the industry hasn't changed it's just that there isn't as much raw talent anymore.

[bfg9001]

THIS SONG IS BRUTAL AS FUCK.

Seriously though... great song by an equally great band.

[Oasix21]

The BEST songs are ALWAYS to short.

Long live CCR!

[mhtfixit]

Of all the versions of this classic this is by far the best. Not too fast for just a show. Just right to get the message across!!!!!!!!!

[34tstolz]

I wish I had his voice I'd sing this song every day

[Yngeldorf]

The BEST "Driving my car down a desert road"-song

[vidmartian]

Its LIVE people. Back then the music was recorded with the vocal track erased, so John IS signing live here.

[AlivePhoenix]

@vidmartian yeah but the music sure is playback

[HittokiriBattousai17]

Thanks Battlefield Vietnam for introducing me into this awesome song

[florian287]

That's not live

[chinaob]

Great song.  Worst stage ever.

[beroth77]

TOTTALY LIVE...LISTEN TO THE STUDIO ONE...IS CLEARLY DIFERENT.THE BREATHING THE STRENGH IN THE VOICE 

[chunkawanka]

Great, but not "LIVE". Seems they just added some reverb to the vocals.

[TrainingStream]

@chunkawanka yeah this doesnt sound live to me, but idk.

[zyxquark]

This is a good example of how far down the music business has now fallen. people like credence were the reason "the doors" were just another band in sixty-nine. there was so much more raw musical genius at the top of the music business in sixty-nine you have to ask yourself, what has gone wrong with the music industry?

[DookNun]

@zyxquark Great comment!

[zyxquark]

I was alive in 69. Off the top of my head here are the musical acts I recall: credence, the doors, the beatles (still together), rolling stones, janis joplin, simon and g ("mrs. robinson" the year before "bridge over troubled water" the year after). Elvis (still lean and mean), steppenwolf, crosby stills and nash, sly and family, Joe cocker, donovan, three dog night, bob dylan, jefferson airplane, inspired one-hit wonders, and now? lady gaga. what happened?and I prob'ly left several out!

[JeVousViolerai]

@zyxquark It's funny because the doors weren't "just another band". "just another" bands don't sell out an entire US tour before the first show is even played. Yes, ccr is great, but the doors are great too.

[Norimbulus]

@zyxquark money and greed came a'knockin'. Integrity took a permanent vacation.

[Gaz17]

@zyxquark come on now. . . .this song is amazing and still sounds as raw and edgy today is it did then, i would assume. But if you are not aware of current music that stimulates you, dont blame the industry. Theres too much variety and access now that its scary, the talent still exists and its available to support them without a corperate music company cashing in on most of the profits too, unlike then

[tokolima21]

@zyxquark audiotune?

[tomdeduf]

I'm almost 18 and i just love this music

[seb123420]

i love this song specially cause most people can relate to this song like myself but im grateful for what i've got

[jmson23]

I've been listening and listening to this track and in the end I am very confident that John Fogerty isn't singing live. It's just too close to the original and if search for this video "Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son (Live 1969)" you'll hear the difference. Still a great singer and an awesome band!!

[SLIMSHADY1357]

@jmson23 its prob a music video there no crowed

[chickennuggett21]

I would love to get my hands on a Rickenbacker like that.

[footballward]

no one can say they sound like this live nowadays

[crossrodde]

@footballward no shit their old as fuck and some of them are dead no disrespect to them of course

[Rasta19856]

these guys are crazy they sound like there recording live thats very impressive

[trisifiend]

@Rasta19856 yea most bands sounded like that in the 60-80s because there was less heavy distortion

[mmarriaa1345]

something that me and my dad have in common, we both love our creedence clearwater revival<3

[97chux]

the person who dislikes CCR must have parents who are cousins (

[AYoungMusicianDude]

i think this is on the ed sullivan show

[jedroch66]

Greate Riff!

[jedroch66]

greate riff!!

[coalb389]

Be honest. Everyone had that haircut at some point in there life.

[rlpoloplaya67]

I almost felt bad for the one sad motherfucker who rated this down, but then I remembered that natural selection exists for the sole purpose of weeding out pieces of garbage like him from our society. XD

[10kokesly]

holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck. what a songwriter!

[demonpickleofDOOM]

i just learned this on guitar my dad cant play it hes so jealous XD

[daeheadshot]

I feel bad for my stupid generation that doesn't enjoy this music, Fuck mainstream pop.

[BlazingAngels220099]

@daeheadshot I like it =)

[TiagoAlbinski]

@daeheadshot Agree with you 100% your comment should be the highest voted.

[TeleManMeSelf]

He looks so different from how he sounds

[MrAwsometommy]

go communism!!!!!!!!!

[kool263]

@MrAwsometommy songs not about communism, dude!

[Maxwellmoop101]

This is the national anthem of Vietnam...

[XxSniperSnakexX13]

1 commy SOB disliked this song

[acdc490]

it sounds like the studio version is this playback?

[TheTurbanat0r00]

@acdc490 well i doubt they could tune voices back in 1969 so most artists actually had legitimate talent lol

[brfpyro14]

@TheTurbanat0r00 I think he was talking about the fact that it is almost perfect sound, unlike alot of other live performances. There is hardly any interference.

[acdc490]

@TheTurbanat0r00

ohh thats what i thought

xD

[m3creative]

that voice :D  <--- jaw dropped

[JackBurrows231]

A they playing in a tree house or something.

[ChaosOfSpartan]

Trust me, i hate war, But i like vietnam just cause the music was great then! :)

[SirSharon]

@ChaosOfSpartan

Hahahahah!

[MrJp990]

@ChaosOfSpartan in the Vietnam Conflict, soldiers actually put radios in their jeeps, tanks, PBR's, and small radios in their huey helicopters just to listen to this song and many others like it which helped raise morale

[otakujellyfish]

good vietnam war song



[MrCCRFan]

this was at the Ed Sullivan Show 1969

[EdSullivan101]

The band is definitely not playing live in this video. They are miming to the master release or a special mix-minus track which has just the instruments and he's singing live along to it, which was popular at the time for TV. The awkward stop at the end is a good clue. Fantastic Rickenbacker guitar sound on the record, and this is the same track. Note how the song is in G but he's playing in A, so his Rick must have been tuned down to D tuning for this recording. Absolutely a great rock song.

[EdSullivan101]

Despite not having a #1 (but several #2 songs), CCR had the whole "Swamp-Rock" market cornered. Nobody was better at it than Fogerty, with his fantastic voice, writing, and guitar-playing talent. While this video was filmed for Ed Sullivan, it probably wasn't done in his famous theater (there is no audience or front of stage) but more likely in one of the adjacent CBS studios, with a very unusual set (more of a barn than a treehouse) and a continuous 360% camera shot; unique for the time.

[musicfreak2112]

his voice is awesome

[i7692o]

dare i say better live voice than Robert Plant ;O

[m16mang]

Forgive me if my comment offends anyone, but I have a question for anyone who may be able to answer. Specifically to those who know what they are talking about.

I've seen a few "live" videos of CCV, now I really like this band, but I am either amazed or suspicious with their live plays. Are they lip syncing and just pretending to play live, like some old bands used to do? Or are they actually picking up these instruments and singing with their own voice? If so...This band is AMAZING.

[MaxmaxSH]

Are they playing in a treehouse? :D

[bowhunter2439]

@MaxmaxSH  LMFAO HAHAHA .... !!

[911urded]

why cant we have music like this instead of "artists" like justin beiber singing about fake love...god i wish i could go back

[twiistaaa]

@911urded you do realise that when this song came out it only made it to #14. the archies sugar sugar was #1. times haven't changed as much as you think.

[psychoticmortacarn]

ZOMFG I KNEW ABOUT THIS SONG BEFORE IT WAS PUT IN ANY OTHER FORM OF MEDIA!

A) That's not impressive. This is a timeless protest song that many generations are already well aware of.

B) Why do you give a shit about how other people heard it? The point is that it's a magnificent piece of music that's getting the recognition it deserves.

I'm sick of of reading all these stupid comments from pretentious braggarts that think their so culturally sophisticated.

[LightningWork]

THUMPS UP IF YOU KNEW THIS SONG BEFORE BLACK OPS AND BATLEFIELD CAME OUT

[rpsmith014]

@LightningWork hell yeah, but I was so happy to hear it in Black Ops

[Airbornerock]

THUMPS IF YOU ARE NOT A DUMBASS AND KNEW THIS SONG BEFORE SOME SHITTY VIDEO GAME CALLED BLACK OPS CAME OUT

[TheXxicekidxx]

thumps up if u know this song befor BLACK OPS

[xBadMoonRisingx]

great song : easy to play but hard to sing :-/

[The123JeffHardy]

believe it or not it was black ops that brought me here :D

[Josezitoreq]

I'm the senator's son

[MTread545]

either they're awesome at replicating the guitar track from the recorded song or it was live

[hafrox]

Fogerty's voice is freaking amazing.

[thefishindahouse]

@firedragoon1000 yeah me too. awesome song.

[plasma810]

Music today live is equivelant to shit in a butter churn, sloshing around. Its amazing how well they perform live, most bands cant do that.

[BlistElk]

Lol I love the grunts at the end of the sentences, those really make the song for me.

[TheBlackWhirlwind]

Sung and played to perfection. What a song. What a band.

[PeterPopcorn1990]

Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam ♥

[angusg61]

[DutchVedette]

@KingVerdo It's a shame that its a rarity this days.

[hockeyforsale]

[kankirto]
