CCR "Born on the Bayou" Woodstock 1969

[tbakersapphire]

Turns out the Beatles were supposed to play there but John couldn't get the group together. Iron Butterfly were also but they were stuck at the airport lol

[GBev2K]

The worst CCR performance is better than almost anything on the radio right now.

[txproperties]

Respond to this video...  Man you got that right..

[djnas76]

why isn't this on the official woodstock dvd??i'm friggin' mad now!

[future4you]

@djnas76 John didn't want this in the film because they were forced to perform at 3:00 am in the morning. He didn't like this performance and thought it was a bad for the band. The prior band the Grateful Dead had over played their time slot.

[zepkid5678]

pardon my french, but how the FUCK does Fogerty sing like that?

[centralparocker]

They were there at least and performed....they were still great despite the sound and the elements....

[OrchidTigress1]

I love it!

[cottageorgan]

Absolutely rocking!! I wish the whole song was up, simple as that...A

[wingman572]

thier performance at Yasgur's farm is underrated

[nikolaj202]

warum steht denn da am ende video by blechsackel, hmm? :)

[clare1061]

This sounds great to me. Better then anything that has been released in the last 30-40 years

[MrVideodude709]

it was not horrible. it was cool

[martha1spur]

John Fogerty is perfection. Here and everywhere -- do you think Mick Jagger or Roger Daltrey had any pipes at all? What a laugh.

[elviscash56]

From what i've read, it seems that John Fogerty may very well have been the only person at Woodstock who wasn't stoned. It is well known that he wasn't into drugs. His singing is as good as the studio! How is this not good? I think he is a perfectionist (i know i am with my guitar playing)

[MusicGirl20112]

Yea the Mud was nasty hahah it rained like hell but what a PARTY!!

Hey PIG PIN were you now days ??

Thanks for the FOOD Man !! God the Good Old days were someting to remember

[barcia95]

@JobberBud hey idiot, it was Woodstock! Your way to optimistic. They werent into drugs like others but they did some pot and acid. Mainly the rest of the band not fogerty. He denies alot but experimented a bit. Performers at Woodstock were getting dosed weather they liked it or not. Do better research

[johnwaynejohnson]

his voice is to powerfull for the music damn he is good and still is

[barcia95]

Depends on which drug they were using at the time. They were on something. Could have felt like noon to them

[JobberBud]

@barcia95 No, moron. CCR were one of the bands who didn't use heavy drugs during this era.

[AngusShanks]

3 people did not like this. Obviously child molesting Nickelback fans. Fuck you you useless cunts. This is great shit. The tape itself might be bad the band sounds wicked. Saw Fogerty two years ago and he was incredible to say the least.

[cliffwalkinfool]

@AngusShanks Yes, it is great stuff, but the clown who posted it just did it for self-promotion. Apparently, you gotta subscribe (whatever THAT does or involves) in order to get the full-length video. Not everybody who thumbs down does it for the content. Sometimes people are dissing the asshole EXPLOITING the content.

[AngusShanks]

@cliffwalkinfool

I just like people knowing how much I hate Nickelback and how ashamed I am over them being Canadian. I knew about the thumbs down stuff although I also imagine some people don't like CCR or Fogerty. THOSE people will rot in hell while listening to Nickelback, which is probably what they'd play in hell.

[seymourbbest]

Atze----Fogerty is still doing it! I've been to hundreds of concerts and the 3 times I've seen john fogerty are my top 3. Nobody can touch him even today. He's got an awesome band. If Fogerty is ever playing near you-GO!!

[12347771]

CCR was Brian Jones favorite band at the time of his passing....a month before this

[spudco06]

This was about the only band you could go see at the Fillmore and then listen to on AM hit radio as you drove home.

[atzenanu]

Wow man, that voice! It hits me up everytime! You think bands these days can do the same to a person? Think not personally...

[spokenacts]

it dont matter what is sounds like or how it sounds this is raw...

[slimjim506]

man listen to fogerty belt it out!!!...

[vintagesupermodified]

The clip few have seen of CCR at Woodstock. CCR would not allow themselves to be seen in the movie or on the soundtrack due to lack of satisfaction

[paulj0557]

Hey kids, watch this and then do something will you? Music is going down the tubes. Here's a band that belted it out from the gut, lost their asses financially, but in 50 years we'll still know who they are.

[yoursatan]

The sound was most of the time crappy, the weather sucked big time, but still it is the best festival ever...

[mmsmith1130]

light years better than the "music" purveyed commercially nowadays. period.

[rvelliqu]

uh...u do it...its 5 am...

[FelixR2706]

I love CCR

[kitt5804]

this is music

[peterdddd1]

I wuz there...I think their manager Fantasy records fucked them up a lot...I was there all 3 days and they were the best and tightest band there...seriously they were amazing...then The Who then Sly some bands sucked but no one cared

[Mattiscool771]

great!

[dickydom9]

what a voice

[governorgilf]

I'm pretty critical of performances, and have criticized some of my favorite bands, including Zeppelin, for butchering their own songs live. I don't know what Fogerty was worried about here. This sounds great! I was expecting it to be awful, but they're rocking out here. This should have been in the original movie.

[mizzpink98z24cavi]

John Fogerty has a great voice. Love CCR

[magprob]

I don't know if weed was better then or now. I can't remember.

[laucian70]

@magprob - It's better now. Weed back then normally contained between 2-7% THC, while weed today normally contains between 10%-20% THC. Also, with all the high tech growing and lighting equipment used today, pot is better than ever before.

[elkbeard]

that, and nowadays growers sell the buds off the plants and not the good ol leafy shit back in the day

[laucian70]

@elkbeard Yeah, true.

[kingcoldsfist]

@magprob the music was better, so im going to say it was definetly better

[romienomie]

This cat's voice is like the soudtrack of the late sixties and early seventies!

[wasjunk]

weeds way better now

but i would not know

[blite13]

He looks like Steve Martin.

[SgtBuckwald]

fuck you

[blite13]

Ahhh, did I huwt you feewings?

[pm3181]

got tickets for JF Nov 21 at the Auditorium Theatre/Chicago

He always puts on a great show and still has a great voice at like 65

[MOSKII58]

John fogerty is the shit has anyone seen him the past 10 yrs live? he has amassed some collection of fine guitars

not just the ric & the black beauty he has so many fine gtrs a goldtop, a PRS, and many many more i can't remember off the top of my head...he's the too cool..

Glad to see he's come back to touring...

[Kekermonger]

John Fogerty has a legendary voice! Awesome footage here!

[piiglumps]

CCR FUCK YAH!!!! Born on the bayou this is fukin music

[FANTASIACHEZLESPLOUC]

Françis Cabrel vient d'en faire une très bonne version.

Great cover by this French singer actually.

[burf69]

I just found out recently from a drug rehab therapist that the weed we smoke today is, on average, 10 times stronger than the shit they were smoking back then. With the possible exception of our overall lack of LSD these days, I'd wager that this generation is higher than the hippies EVER were.

[quastheunseen420]

yea when it comes to weed

but they had much better psychedelics, and lots more of it

[burf69]

It would be interesting to find an accurate survey of how many people in places like the U.S., Canada, England etc. actually DID trip. I agree that the stuff was of a way higher quality and definitely more potent (at least, that's what I've heard), but I'll bet that way less people tripped than we'd like to think. Today we have shittier psychedelics but I'll bet more people are taking them....not to mention the weed that's 10 times stronger. I still have a feeling we're "higher" these days.

[burf69]

Plus, don't forget the hippies that never stopped getting high. They're still around too. ;-)

[blite13]

It was free'r back then..it was all new, no one really knew if you were whacked out like today..if you have a mini buzz today, people are disgusted at how primitive you are. back then, drinking, smoking..the adults mostly just knew drinking, it was much easier to get away with...today, yikes, pee tests, blood tests, they even testing your hair. Today, people are doing prescription drugs, it's the rage. Clean acid, freshly grown mushrooms and there was good weed back then too, just harder to find

[maziesman]

it also costs about 10 times as much, son.  an oz of the finest Michuacan cost $25, which seemed a little much compared to a $15 bag, but the results were amazing! I think there's a more refined distribution system these days. Not to mention 40 years of cross breeding and grafting.

[shani012]

Thai stick

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

one can argue people in the 70s were higher

[722erodz]

no one knew that woodstock 69 would be remembered after 40 years :o)  keep smokin weed :o]

[prestrat53]

I still have the original album of woodstock plus the second one that came out

[bojanks15]

me neither

[szumo1982]

Just slower than the original, but it's funky! I love CCR -

[bonzimurdok]

fogerty always rocks anyways

[1jtv]

Cool set...

[barcia95]

Boy, if this is so horrible I'd hate to see them on an off night. I've heard alot worse. At least they did not go up there and lip sync or something. Alot of bands complained about the sound, wind, rain ect, but still went out there and tried their best to get through it. The Grateful Dead were electricuting themselves from the rain and still gave it a shot. I commend these guys. I'll take this over anything new out now.

[arlichar11]

@barcia95 im getting goose bumps.. so id say they didnt phone this one in...this is just opposite of 99 version with ppl who didnt care and bands that actually promoted violence and destruction instead of good time get down and have fun music like CCR...ill take this over recent rock anyday and im only 30 lol

[PokerJoker811]

@barcia95 Not to mention one legitimate excuse for ANYONE to perform badly: Fogerty and Co. had their set at 3 AM. Would YOU be at the top of your game at 3 AM?

[unclebobunclebob]

@barcia95 I"M with you right up until the end statement. Over ANYTHING? That's ridiculous.
