- "Lodi" is a song written by John Fogerty and performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Recorded in March 1969, it was released in April, four months before the album, as the B-side of "Bad Moon Rising", the lead single from Green River.
The song describes the plight of a down-and-out musician whose career has landed him playing a gig in the town of Lodi (pronounced "low-die"), a small agricultural city in California's Central Valley about 70 miles from Fogerty's hometown of Berkeley. After playing in local bars, the narrator finds himself stranded and unable to raise bus or train fare to leave. Fogerty later said he had never actually visited Lodi before writing this song, and simply picked it for the song because it had "the coolest sounding name." However, the song unquestionably references the town's reputation as an uninteresting farm settlement, although the narrator does not mention any specific complaints. The song's chorus, "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again," has been the theme of several city events in Lodi.
The song's arrangement includes a change of key in the final verse of the track, emphasising the melancholy drama of the lyric, "If I only had a dollar for every song I sung...."
Have a bootleg of CCR playing at the Filmore West in 1970, Before they play this song John says to the crowd, "This song is dedicated to all the bands that never made it" so true. Alway loved this song more than Bad Moon Rising..
Great song played often as i went through medical training at Ft. Sam Houston Tx, [ Combat Medic. Surgical Tech and OJT Op Rm, ,] during the war.. Things were to get nasty as meat ball surgery is not for the faint of heart......I thank all those who served !

If you want to hear great music 60's and 70's.Australia 🇦🇺
My dad's fav song, fav. band. Now he's in heaven ❤
Brilliant! In my mind's eye, this is EXACTLY what I thought this video should have looked like 5 decades ago when this song first came out.
Possibly the best B side ever !!❤
My son lived in Lodi, and I fell in love with the area. Something about the fact that it's urban, but just drive 5 minutes and you're in grape country.
My wife is buried in Lodi, NJ
I was a full time musician in the 70's
I could relate" Every Time I Had To Play, While People Sat There Drunk"
It’s actually about Lodi ca not Lodi nj sorry about ur dead wife but ur not relating to shit about this song....
@@biglou3373 Im aware of that
That's the magical thing about music; it elicits a range of emotions and gives infinite meanings to the ears it falls upon.
Arthur F., I should think Fogerty would appreciate your beautiful association with Lodi.
This music is still playing 60 years later what does that say
That we have good technology.
@@alex199273 and great music.
Smartass
@@Shitbird3249 you're like 2 years late mate.
Wonderful story to be told of being stuck on the road😎
Love this song, back in the day my mum got the Bad Moon Rising 45 and this was the flip side, liked it better.
Therres a bathroom on the right!
I also preferred Lodi over Bad Moon Rising. Lodi is a great song.

Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections
I ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
If I only had a dollar
For ev'ry song I've sung
Ev'ry time I've had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

A Great Song, but a unreal Video.

Playing it with my students......
TRAUMHAFT😊
Great song!
This is brilliant - just brilliant
Me gusta mucho mis creedence cantan bien bonito me train muchos recuerdos de mi juventu
Lo mejor de todo es el sillón
Ho my boy. like like like.
Amo los temas melancolicos
Клёво!!
It's very silly, isn't it? You could literally walk out of Lodi to the next city if you wanted to. It makes the song even better.
John brilliantly uses Lodi, a real town, as a metaphor for being “stuck” in his career and getting nowhere in terms of accomplishing his career goals of being successful, etc. Brilliant writing.

Essa música parece minha vida .

Two thumbs down? ahahahahahahahah Who's these Isis headhunters with negative?
music video source plz ??
Guys in video aren't ccr are they?
They hair looks too modern
I lived in Lodi and it is boring. I moved back to Stockton.
So it’s the Lodi near Stockton they’re singing about?
@@jamesdowd8354No !!! Es Lodi California , donde John se inspiró para componer la canción( la rosita ) de Lodi California 😊
Seems like they were stuck in Richmond...
Haha, if you want an armpit town, try visiting Lodi OHIO. Besides being a small town with nothing happening - which is not a sin - one of the city services building has a bunch of historical photos, including Klan photos. At least it was the case a decade ago; I hope they've gotten something like civilized since then.
