So happy to see John happy in the end. He got his songs back, and all his fans back, and his kids love him, and his wife loves him, and he deserves it all. God bless you John, thanks.
This bought tears somehow. I’m about the same age , went through the same things in the 60’s and CCR was always my “driving music” in my car , eight track or cassette. We were young back then . I’m glad we’re both still around .
We call it Carnie Music to this day due to the fact that all carnivals played their songs in the day on every Tilt-O-Whirl in every city across the country. Even on roller coasters.
Had a 1965 mustang and got my first speeding ticket ever playing this as loud as my Lear 8 track could handle. John still sounds great, even through my hearing aids. 😥😀

Wrong.. Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn.. what John forgery did along with his brother and 2 other members is crate a unique sound sound. Some songs he wrote.. others were written long before rock..
@@hectorraigosa7149 Huh? What does Hendrix or SRV have to do with this? Never heard anybody make an accusation like that about Fogerty. He has many originals as well as covers, as all the artists did back then.
@hectorraigosa7149 Wrong, 4 blokes named John Paul George and Ringo, and as for guitar, John got it right, 3 blokes, Jeff Jimmy and Eric. Actually, modern music, rock, blues, jazz, all have theor roots in Celtic music.
I'm 74 years old. I was in my late teens when I first heard Creedence. People can say what they want but in my opinion, they were the best band in America at the time, hands down. The Byrds had pretty much flown away. David Crosby was gone. Buffalo Springfield had only made one album. Crosby, Stills and Nash had not formed yet. There were some good bands on the left coast but none really had the appeal to the masses that CCR had. Of course there were the Doors, the Grateful Dead and others. Santana was just forming. As for rock that appealed to everyone, Creedence was it. John has been through so much. He is kind of like Andy in The Shawshank Redemptions, swimming through a river of crap and coming out clean on the other side. He is trully an american treasure. There have been so many great performers that have left us this year like Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson, Randy Meisner and Jimmy Buffett, we should all be grateful that we still have him with us.
same me, I'm 74 grow up in Uruguay, BEATLES, ROLLING STONES AND CCR, IN THA ORDER the best 3 band in the word, I see John Fogerty in Jacksonville, FL. Was @ dream came truh. I love that music
Was 16 year's old in Woodstock time, great time CCR and grateful dead next That's a blessing for our generation to be able to listen your teenage heros still playing, most of them
What a story. Great story. Saw him 2x in the past year. Have 4 concert DVD'S AND CD'S. WANT TO DO A ROAD TRIP TO SEE HIM IN AS MANY CONCERTSAS POSSIBLE? Need to do interviews with the audience member's. On the 50 Year Trip concert there was a great interview withv3 generations of CCR & FOGERTY FAN'S?
@@waldoskiarriagadovitch6740 while we're comparing notes and trading barbs, you need your hearing aid battery changed along with your eye glass prescription and while you're at it, brush up on your reading comprehension skills. I said "Live or recorded, his voice range never changes".. As for his singing ability, that would be a matter of taste. For a guy who has been around since the 1960's, I think he does fine in front of a live audience without the help of digital crap and voice manipulation. Troll on...
I love hearing that song, I love watching you play that song and I love playing that song myself on my guitar! Everybody loves hearing my play that song. Yes, even my grandchildren who love to dance around me with joy as I play the song. Yes, JOY. You’ve brought joy into this family. Thank You Mr Fogerty.
John is a Treasure! I'm privileged to have his songs feature on the soundtrack of my youth! Just fantastic that he's still Rockin' All Over The World with his children.
So damn glad I found this video. Time just stood still and I flashed back to my Pontiac Firebird and my cousins Camaro. Playing the tunes and doing what young kids do.
I'm almost 72, love music and admire musicians. On a scale of 1-10 on guitar, I don't even register, but I can "play" this one and a few other songs with relatively simple chords. Passes the time and makes me smile a bit.
Underrated? Hahaha. "Underrated" is by far the most overrated word in the comment section. EVERY decent musician loves his songwriting abilities, his vocals and guitar skills. How can a legend be underrated?
Actually, he doesn't. Songs are great and deserving of iconic status. The gritty, raw rocknroll voice is gone, replaced by a smooth, thin, almost crooner voice. So glad I got my original vinyl and CD albums of the great John Fogerty rocknroll voice. I can still hear John wail whenever I want to by listening to those old CCR records.
Great video,song playing and you sharing your story on getting your guitar back...i was lucky to have 3 brothers that was 10,12 and 14 yrs. older than me to introduce me to CCR and other great singers and bands...Thank You John,Mr. Fogerty for your music and sharing your stories through the yrs. ... May You And Your Family Always Be Blessed My Friend
Such a Beautiful Rickenbacker, me and my brother are around the same age he is, still Rocking after all these years Rock Musicians from our generation, just keep rocking
What an absolute Icon. 1970. I was 8 and in third grade. My favorite song was "Can't buy me love". Beatles. On my way home I stopped in the bowling alley, where there was a game room and a jukebox. Immediately, I witnessed a usually quiet kid from school singing and jumping around to " too too too , looking out my back door" ? At that moment, everything changed. Thank you, John for all the great songs and you are still kicking ass .
I have been playing guitar since I was 6. I'm 64 now. I played professionally in a country rock band from the age of 21 to 26. I have played as a single off and on since then doing jazz and cover tune instrumentals in nice lounges. I was never a singer but I have always said..."If I had the ability to sing rock and roll like John Fogerty, I'd still be doing it today"! Unparalleled classic, iconic voice! And he still has it!
@@mohammednovalija That's because there has only been one idiot that commented "who cares" who seemed to miss the compliment I was giving to Fogerty. Other than you and my own replies, the actual "thumbs up" is now up to 17. Why are we even having this ridiculous conversation?
love JF, i'm late to the party with his music and even trying the guitar at 38yo (13 yrs ago). Rockin all over the world, have you ever seen the rain, bad moon rising were an absolute joy to learn and nail
Saw John in concert in 2019. Had about 15 guitars on a rack on stage, said he wasn’t leaving till he played all of them. 2 hours later the concert ended. It was a great concert, hasn’t lost anything
John Fogerty, what a legend. The guy is pushing 80, and looks about 60. Saw him my only time open up for the eagles at stagecoach festival in 2008.Traveled from upstate ny, and what a show it was.And of course he sang this song
Thank you for all the joy you have brought to the millions of fans you have then and now. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a jewel of a man who pursued his two loves, music and family. And, you have shared that love with fans around the world...always with love and a courageous desire to just give people great songs, great tunes, great memories and inspiration. Thank you.
Please come to El Paso Texas at the Sun Bowel ! You are the greatest Icon I have been listening to since I was 8 yrs old. God bless you and your family, sir.
Cosmo"s Factory was one the first albums I ever bought after getting my first job way back when in the early 70's. My stepfather would complain about what lousy music this was. Here I am 50+ years later and still love listening to this same "lousy" music - lol! Thanks for posting!
I saw Johnand Creedence when I was about 13 or 14 at Golden gate park back around 1969 And that was it I knew what I wanted to be a player like doing that great clean bluesy swamp music like he still does to this day He,s still my inspiration to play his stuff with my band I,ve been doing his music ever since I first heard him Going to see him soon August 31st at Standford 10th o12th time I've seen him live Keep on Rocking Jody You,re the greatest always a treat to hear you and see you playing live Jimbo
I've loved you and your music since I was a kid. Loved 1969. It's was the threshold of a very good run until I had to grow up. Unique sound. Woodstock, I was in central Mexico and people asked me to go. Your wife is exceptional to find your guitar .❤
Saw him at The Fillmore in San Francisco just when he started performing his old songs, but none of us knew that. When the lights went down, the sound of crickets started, and the band broke into Born on the Bayou, followed by six Creedence hits. Unforgettable.
So happy to see John happy in the end. He got his songs back, and all his fans back, and his kids love him, and his wife loves him, and he deserves it all. God bless you John, thanks.
Kinda like playing a country song backwards, right? Lol😍
@@rickycarter7154 Yep! Throw in a couple pickup trucks and a train and we got ourselves an asskicking country song here!
@@BillySBC Dont forget the Shotgun and a dog
He's looks and sounds as good as ever.❤
Yes sir. Amen to that
John Fogerty and CCR, should get Kennedy Honors. They’re American Treasures. TK
Got THAT right!!!
I second that!
К сожелению,не ценили их, тогда в прошлом,а могла быть первой супер группой в рок музыке,!
They never did that? I’m surprised….you’d have the biggest stars covering his songs. It would be a big deal.
He's Canadian actually lol
1971 Concertgebouw Amsterdam. John Fogarty forever.
John Fogerty still has it: Great Voice, Great Songwriter, Great guitarist (Rhythm & Lead) & a great backing band!
Looks young too. Hardly aged.
This bought tears somehow. I’m about the same age , went through the same things in the 60’s and CCR was always my “driving music” in my car , eight track or cassette. We were young back then . I’m glad we’re both still around .
Paul, I'm with you , bud. I'm glad too.
Never bettered. Cosmos Factory one of the greatest albums ever in what is probably the worst cover ever! Im 68 soon...25 in my head.
Mir geht es genauso! Ich fuhr damals einen Honda S 800 mit Casettenrecorder! War himmlisch mit DER M usik!!!!

That guy can do more with a few chords than anybody on earth. What a legend, and he's still doin' it justice!
It may seem like a few chords, but it's not. There's always a subtle little hook. Ask Lou Reed.

I wonder how many years it spent in the back of someone's closet somewhere?
He's a lifetime in his own legend. Getting his guitar back and then his songs, it's like he's had new life breathed into him.
Took way to long! Let's hope he sticks around long enough for all us fans to enjoy this new life 😊❤🎉
It’s called Good Karma.
Song never gets old. Apparently neither does John. What a spirit!
John Fogerty is a world wide treasure!
what an amazingly and totally unoriginal cliche... ugh
Sounds a lot like CCR
@@robinhood480
This is one of their biggest hits
You stole that phrase from me!
@@peterjones4621
I’m sorry about that
My word John Fogerty is a legend. I love that man!
One of the legends who HASN'T LOST A THING!!! Love 'ya John -- thanks for all the wonderful tunes.
I wonder if the audience knows they're in the presence of greatness? CCR is timeless. Just genius.
young or old , live or recorded, John's voice and range never changes. An American rock icon and indeed a living legend
You need to clean your ears. The guy can barely sing nowadays

True musician, survivor and a national icon. I was going to say treasure. You're welcome John.
Beautiful. What a great sound after all these years.
Love the Rick! .... and I love the Hammond organ in classic rock -- I can never get enough of it!
Cannot beat an AUTHENTIC B-3 tone wheel organ!
@@MDavidG1 Dire Straits right around 1980!
78 years old and still rocking ! John and his songs stand the test of time.
I love hearing that song, I love watching you play that song and I love playing that song myself on my guitar! Everybody loves hearing my play that song. Yes, even my grandchildren who love to dance around me with joy as I play the song. Yes, JOY. You’ve brought joy into this family. Thank You Mr Fogerty.
So many young times spent partying to this music back in the day. Thanks John!
Thank's John, just GREAT!!

You write one mega-hit, you're talented or lucky.
You write dozens of them, then you have a God given gift.
Best Time all over
JOHN FOGERTY por siempre y para siempre and The CCR Good Bles forever
One of my very favorite songs from then and now. I was around 13 at the time when I heard it. John still sings the same which is great.

John Fogerty puts a smile on my face every time I see and hear him. From way back when I first heard him and CCR doing Susie Q to right this minute!
The best 78 year old performer out there, doesnt color his full hair, looks great, and lets his guitar and voice and great songs do the talking!
Absolutely Great!

Man, he doesn't age. Great story, great song. Peace, John. Keep on rockin ...
He still sounds great!!! Thanks! 😎
i love the fact he looks so happy to be playing his music on his guitar again. It was like his soul had been taken away,
Sounding good John
I played that guitar in 1998 at the South Cle Elum Jr. High School Sock Hop. I wondered where it ended up.
Living American Legend!!! My Respects!!!
Ya gotta love that jangle from a Rickenbacker. Such a quintessential American sound.

Same here. I bought the 8-track even before I had a player......
STEP ON HIS FACE father.
Man, he never lost it. Looking fit and singing great for his age…..!👍
There will never be another like John Fogerty unique talent brilliant songs top drawer stuff. From the uk may I say thanks for the music John.
I got really emotional, so many great memories...we were big fans of CCR in Lahore, Pakistan

Thank you John the soundtrack to my life and thank you God for his talent.
Absolute Legend ! They don’t make ‘‘em like they used to !
All I can say is great memories and THANK YOU!!!
I LOVE their music. Had every 8 track they played. C.C. R.
Thank you. Michigan
One of THE most underrated guitarists of our time!
John is one of the greats. He still sounds great man. Wonderful memories man. God bless John keep it going man!
You still got it John!! I’m a big fan still to this day!
I've loved you and your music since I was a kid. Loved 1969. It's was the threshold of a very good run until I had to grow up. Unique sound. Woodstock, I was in central Mexico and people asked me to go. Your wife is exceptional to find your guitar .❤
Outstanding!!! Greetings from old Germany 🇩🇪
Norman Harris had that guitar, I saw it at guitar shows, not sure where it went from then.
Great front row center coverage!!
This is so good! Loving the backstory on the guitar from the great legend himself! CCR, one of my inspirations.
I guess finding your old guitar is like finding an old friend and catching up with time you missed it. Sounds so great John Fogarty.
Eu o vi em maio de 2013, aqui na minha cidade, Belo Horizonte/ Brazil!! Amazing!!!
The coolest thing is that he mentioned Clapton!
proof positive MUSIC will keep you alive and well. time need not apply.!!
What a great story about his guitar. It's a miracle that his wife found it after all these years. Thank you, this made my day.
Saw him at The Fillmore in San Francisco just when he started performing his old songs, but none of us knew that. When the lights went down, the sound of crickets started, and the band broke into Born on the Bayou, followed by six Creedence hits. Unforgettable.
GREAT Thank You For Posting...! 😊 👍
That is awesome to find his guitar 40+yrs ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
One of the Cain, and only
Thanks for so great music
Amazing voice for his age sounds just like he always has.
John has left a huge Mark on my Brain with all his Awesome songs, that still sound great today!!!!!
