This is even better than Creedence Clearwater Revival.

These guys is simply better musicans than the guys who backed up Fogerty in CCR (Stu,Doug and Tom)

John Fogerty himself is just awesome !!!!

[MakkariRevival]

Yeah, The Revival Band is the best band that John has ever had. It's really a BAND, not a solo artist with a backing band. And of course John is a much better guitar player now than he was in 1969.

I've seen John twice and he kicks major booty. CCR definately sounded better live than his band these days. I'd like to see John go back to a 4 piece band. Just him, a rhythm player, bass and drums. Either way, he's better than any of these bands today.

[MasFredde]

Because John is a better gitarr player now the music is so much better, CCR was the big band in the late 60 but whit out John Fogerty there wore no hits from CCR Because CCR is John Fogerty.. and today he is back on the top of Rock n Roll . Love the music

good good

@saidramos77 Agree! Fogerty is much better now than before, well that's true and wrong in two ways; he's better at guitar than before, but his voice have changed a bit since the Creedence era (it's a little winy, but whatever)

@iglandroger Better musicians - Yes

Fogerty is much better now than before - Yes

This band sounds better than Creedence Original - Never

Creedence Original is the best bnd on the fuckink world

@Mu3d3 I totally agree w/ you. I saw CCR twice in the early 70's, and they had a more rich, funky sound then. And more soul. Maybe the new guys are slightly better musically, but the old charismatic essence is missing. It's like taking a food product from many years ago, and deleting a few of the old ingredients. It just won't be the same. And John's voice and guitar are almost overshadowed by the wall of sound around him now.

[Mu3d3]

@iglandroger Don't think this version is better than the original. Fogerty's voice is not as cool as it was before. I prefer CCR and the version of them.

[ccrholland]

@MyTwangyGuitar - Yeah, I am aware of the overdubs, but I still like his overall sound from that time, judging by some other footage (check out the Letterman shows from '97!). I'll look at the Hard Rock Live stuff.

PS Your videos are absolutely brilliant! I've already subscribed!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@ccrholland - "Premonition" was completely over-dubbed in post production - badly. The *best* modern day Fogerty fooatge is from 'Hard Rock Live'.

[MakkariRevival]

I think the piano and organ add a lot to the music.

[ccrholland]

I agree with dalejrfan308 and thestratlars, but John's '97/'98 Premonition was his best so far. 'only' two rhythm guitarists and some really awesome guitar playing on Susie Q and 'Put a Spell.... With the right gear by the way, a Rickenbacker through and old Kustom amp. I'm not really a fan of his guitar tone these days.

[johnflaherty]

I think it happens with nearly all great musicians, once they go solo. They put in more and more musicians to back them up, to keep the sound rich and all that.
