you can tell his family has heard this story a LOT. his daugher was like "oh no",.... proof that no matter how cool and iconic your dad is to the rest of the world, his stories are just dad stories to his own family

He tells a different story than has been heard before about the Dead. They may have been tripping, but their equipment was wet and not properly grounded. They were getting shocked touching their instruments.
Yeah, it was and still is! John Fogerty couldn't have stay pissed off forever at The Grateful Dead - he did, after all, show up for the Jerry Garcia memorial in Golden Gate Park the weekend after Jerry passed away. I remember Bob Weir introduced him onto the stage. That event was one of the largest public events ever held in G.G. Park and there were no arrests made. No one got rowdy, stupid, too obnoxious; it was all about honoring the memory of The Grateful Dead's frontman. And John Fogerty was part of that too.
Lol, and John's teenage grand-daughter (daughter?) makes such a face of not digging Papa's old 60s rock stories, which is NUTTTS... but maybe that's what happens when every morning you eat breakfast with the FRIGGIN FRONTMAN OF CCR!!!
This music will never get old. I remember listening to it in 1969, I was 10 years old. The older boys on our school bus was always talking about music, CCR, The Rolling Stones, Jimmie Hendrix and many more. What a Great time for music.
I would have been one of the older boys I suppose, because my first three live concerts I went to was Chuck Berry, Hendrix and the Doors. Hendrix got arrested that afternoon at Toronto airport for possession of drugs, and they held him until the show that night, and with the crowd already at Maple Leaf Gardens waiting, he shows up with the band and tells the crowd “ I guess you all heard what happened today, well lets just have a good time tonight “, and he breaks into Purple Haze. It was a great time for music for sure.
My first concert was Dec. 28th 1969. Miami Rock Festival . I got there between acts so I got to see full sets by Santana then The Band and part of a set by Coldblood. It was a great experience I was 15 years old. When I got back home a week later Wilmington N.C. I raved about how great those bands were and nobody I knew had heard of them yet. The Band was getting airplay for Up on Cripple Creek.
I did that to my dad when I was 16 too. We were riding around after I got my license and CCR came on from my iPod and he looked at me like "what?" Later that day we went to a Hastings and he bought me John's Premonition live album. We bonded over music a lot more after that.
My oldest brother was in hospice over ten years ago. He had slipped into a coma, and he would be gone within the day. In the morning a young woman came by with a guitar and binder. She told my other brother and I that we could pick out a song and she would play for our brother. We picked this song.
Maybe I’m wrong. But I thought I read in his biography he said that song was written about how he felt about his band mates and there infighting between themselves
@@MSDOGS1976 They are in fact our, he has three sons that currently tour with him and they have a band themselves that are the opening band for his concerts. I saw him and his kids last summer in Canfield, Ohio…look it up,
My middle son flew me out from NC to Denver last Father’s Day week. We saw Fogerty celebrating his 50th year at the Red Rocks. I’m 78 tomorrow, and the years just melted away. The guy hasn’t lost one bit of talent. Friggin’ fantastic. And yes, if you need to know, we stood up for the entire two hour show.
I'm so happy for him that he won the rights to sing his own music, done with CCR, after several years of fighting record companies, but he did it & won back the right to sing & play his own music!
John never lost a damn thing. There's a reason why CCR only lasted for 6 or 7 years. I read the rest of the band's story and watched them all getting interviewed including John's younger brother Tom who was the drummer for the band. After 6 or 7 years as CCR the rest of the band including Tom Fogerty went to John and asked him to allow them to start taking more of an active role in the band including writing songs. Tom said John responded, "no...this is my band and I write all the songs and lyrics...not you guys...you just play the music I write." If John hadn't been such an egomaniac and had allowed them to play more of an active role CCR would have easily lasted for many many more years. John Fogerty is certainly a gem when it comes to playing some of the best classic rock ever. It's just a damn shame he had to be such an asshole to the rest of the band many years ago.
Tom was the older brother and played rhythm guitar. John took over the band. I am sure it was complicated. There was an article recently in the WSJ about the conflicts. They never worked it out. He wished they had.
@@Florida46 I never mentioned the band, I said the record label screwed him over. He may've been that picky with the band, but what the record label did was horrible!
I'm 66 years old. CCR was apart of my daily life as a teen. Thanks for the recollection. I watched your kids. There were kind of like, another one of dad's stories. What a wonderful time that was. Kids are still listening to it today, and I just smile. Kids, you have no idea. Really appreciate what you are doing John. Every time I hear your music it's kind a like a tape player goes off in my head and takes me back.
Whenever I listen to classic music especially CCR, it brings me joy. My dad always play classics and I adopted it too. I just love the sounds of instruments such as guitar.
I am 70 and from 1969 have played all cd's whist driving at full blast for many a year. Foot used flatten the pedal like a maniac. Roads in South Africa go on for days. Used to make holiday trips seem short as.
Those grinnin' kids in the background have obviously heard this story a thousand times before, but if they only KNEW just how great CCR became, thanks to Woodstock. I loved them THEN and I still love them today. One of my all time favorite bands. Thanks for the memories John Fogerty!💞
@@johnfogerty4662 John is the man. I tell you when I heard the opening Born on the Bayou, I just went nuts despite the fact you didn't think it was up to snuff. I saw so disappointed when none of the CCR was on the soundtrack, but I was there and at least had it in my head. Thanks for music! Please consider releasing it one day before we go!
Woodstock. I was 21. Almost went. My God, John Fogarty, you are such an amazing talent. Your songs have changed people's lives. You helped define a generation. Gosh, what has happened to America? It was so much better in the 1960s. Anyone agree?
Both my parents were musicians, mom-jazz piano/Hammond B3 organ dad-R&B rhythm guitar and bass I started playing at 4 on the viola and then the trombone, then the French horn. Then piano and got an electric bass at 15, settled on it for awhile before finding the flute! I'll play just about anything that you put in my hands, that's one of the amazing gifts you get from being raised by musicians! That and these kinds of stories! I've heard a ton of weird and wild ones, nothing quite as awesome as Woodstock tales, but there was good stuff to live through as well!!! Just like these kids who have met and hung out with SOOOOOO many incredible people, I would be babysat by the Ohio players and hanging out with a few from Parliament Funkadelic, and when you're only 5 or 6, this is just normal stuff, you don't understand how great it is until you get older and see how much folks go crazy for certain people, then you realize how lucky you are to have been around things like that your whole life! Stuff like that shapes you and what you do, how you view the world, the paths one might take. It's what leads to someone like Patty Mahomes!!!!! Tiger Woods!!! You grow up around greatness, it's just a normal thing, it enables you to be great yourself cause you know that they're just regular people! You have a better knowledge of the fact that anyone can be great if you focus and make different choices. It don't hurt to have parents who can make a phone call to producers or scouts, parents who can basically snap their fingers and put you in the spotlight to start a career!!! LOL. I LOVE a Canadian band called Walk Off The Earth, they make music vids at home where most of the band lives, surrounded by children! You just KNOW those kids are gonna be musicians, constantly around fun and music and any and EVERY instrument you can imagine! Music is supposed to touch your heart and change lives, that's why we love it so much! Music is way more powerful than people know, its likely the best thing humanity has done thus far! The only thing we can be proud of if we meet an alien lifeform, they just may laugh at the rest......
@@bernardopiaiazilio5002 I lived through that time and music. I'm 75 and miss it so much and I'm just thankful for UA-cam for allowing it to be listen to. Like you said, "That's all we need to live my man". Take care, be safe
CCR como te vamos a olvidar as sido la alegría de millones de jóvenes y viejos los sigo escuchando desde 1969 tengo 78 años 😍 espero escucharlos muchos años más✌✌✌😁
ANZAC Day here in 🇦🇺 and I'm reflecting on life and times and listening to John... and thinking, I was born in that summer of '69 when John was playing to that one dude in Woodstock. 🤣😂 Peace all ✌️
I was 16 in 1969 and grew up listening to CCR. "Fortunate Son" from "Willy and the Poor Boys" became a powerful anti-war song of that era. Conscription ended just before I turned 18 and so I was spared the horrors of Vietnam and I didn't have serve as my father and grandfather did. I remember them both on ANZAC day. Thanks John. Lest we Forget.🇦🇺
John, you changed my life, and not in the way you changed millions, I'm not a old man, or even a wise man, I'm just a man lost in this new world, but your music saved me, its not a story worth telling, but please know I am grateful.
My son saw him last night at Pine Knob and said it was one of the best concerts he’s ever been to, if not the best! A 79 yr old John Fogerty still has it! Gave one helluva a performance! 🔥
Saw CCR at the Forum in Los Angeles in August 1970, about a month before I went into the Air Force. A year later, I was in Vietnam at age 19 and CCR's music like so many other artist's music of the day saw me, and many, many more GI's through the insanity of war. Thanks John!!!
Please would you change place with me, you get this rap, kizomba, shit in exchange..CCR and JOhn are legends, i would be so glad to live next door to a legend!!
One of bucket lists items is to see John Fogerty in person, love hearing and playing his music!! Like Paul Harvey use to say now we know “The rest of the story” thank you!
Yeah I've loved his music for 45 year. He did a book signing if you bought his book. He spoke for a while and played a couple songs, then signed everyones book and shook hands with each fan, was great.
They are alright riding that train... Fogerty was my Dads favourite though so I heard lots of it as a kid I think it's better but the festival express is worth a viewing too. John is a total legend so glad I can brag I have seen him play live.
I'm only 55 and I love all your music that you've ever created and I've heard at all.. but seeing you now today compared to before I just have to say "what an awesome dad you are! You gave all your children the gift of music and you get to share it with them💖 and then share it with others💖 what you've done is endless💖 thank you John you and your family so much for that, health and happiness and safety for you and your family always!!!!💖💖💖💖
The Beatles were another planet obviously, but CCR was, is, will be my passion forever. My young years roared with the mighty John's voice, my old years defend theirselves seeing John still here with me and you.
I was serving with the U.S. Army in Vietnam in August of '69, so I didn't hear much about Woodstock. 'Nam wasn't bad though, temperatures were only around 120 degrees, and monsoon season was great. I saw John on his 'Blue Moon Swamp' tour in Boston, and he was fantastic!! Thank you for the autographed CD John, and the nice letter from your wife Julie she sent from the Westin Hotel in Colorado. A very nice lady! Congratulation to you and your wonderful family.
Never was a Dead Head fan , but I've "always " been a fan of you and your music . I'm soon be 64 yes old and still LOVE YOUR MUSIC ! May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 👪
@@volkerallert5364 Qualify? Creedence LOVED The Beatles. What goes over, under, around, everyone,s heads these days is that All of the bands back then, and some today, loved The Beatles. From Creedence to Black Sabbath to Neil Young, CSNY, E.L.O., Canned Heat, the list goes on and on and on. There are reasons for that that , if you weren't there, you didn't live through it and see it all unfold the way that it did you might not be able to see the whole picture. Like it or not The Beatles were KING. That's a fact that will never change.Firstly because of their incredible music and without them the magical inspiration that fuelled the whole scene would not have happened. Period. Thank you volker allert for asking that most pertinent of questions.
I still remember my dad singing Who'll stop the rain. That was the first album I ever loved, Cosmos Factory. Thanks, dad for introducing John Fogerty's music to me.
@@johnfogerty4662 A few years before COVID, I got tickets to your show in LA at the Pantages, loved it so much, I bought tickets for the next night in Orange County. Thank you for the best shows!!
When i was a gigging musician, our CCR covers were always highlights in the show. Too much fun to play! Thank you for all the amazing music John, we’re all still with you!!!
I've seen the Grateful Dead twice and they put me to sleep and I was straight both times never a drug taker just a musician. But Mr Fogarty I've seen you a couple of times and you never put me to sleep you are one of the best American musicians in my lifetime the dead well that's a whole nother story. Many blessings to you and your family
I mean, John/CCR wrote more memorable original songs that a lot more people identify with the 60s than the Dead who were primarily known for their covers. Funny how the definition of "real" differs from person to person. 🤷
Love that story here l am named raine was busy giving birth on that night the news was on in the labor room & they came on loved this band. I always told my kids that song was named after me..
To John Fogerty. ::: John , I was there . Yes , The Grateful Dead did put the majority of the peeps asleep. BUT , when you came on , the whole crowd jumped up and started dancing . Not stoping till you finished. I considered your set the best of the whole show. I am now 75 , you do the math. Love you , Dude.
JOHN FOGERTY HAS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY #1 ! HES NOT ONLY A BRILLIANT SONGWRITTER HIS VOICE IS LIKE NO OTHER! READ HIS BOOK! AMAZING MAN! 💘 LOVE YOU JOHN THANK YOU!!!
I saw him 20 yrs ago when he won first lawsuit..great woods in massachusetts..he played a lot of credence for first time at that show.....came out and told crowd he could play some of his songs,,then belted out suzie q...was fkn great...guy is american royalty....still sounds great...
John Fogerty has been a gift. A beautiful performance with his kids Shane, Tyler, and Kelsy. Adding to the beauty of this is John's 76 or 77. AMAZING 🎸👏🌄🌿🇺🇸
The way John's daughter looks at her father (especially after the song) is worth a million fans. Bless you man and keep playing real music and not the digital noises we hear today.
That was great, John & Family! Love to hear the great music you wrote & sang, now & forever! The best. Kelsy, Tyler and Shane, cherish playing with your Dad, while you can! Best/PP👍😊❤️
Guys like John Fogerty only come around once in a generation, legendary.
Awesome SOUNDS!
Maybe once in eternity,,,IMHO
Actually, we all only come around once
Makes me think of my draft physical.
AMEN TO DAT
you can tell his family has heard this story a LOT. his daugher was like "oh no",....
proof that no matter how cool and iconic your dad is to the rest of the world, his stories are just dad stories to his own family
He tells it at every show before going into the song
I wish I could have seen them live

That’s what I was like bro😂😂
I was 9 yrs old. My brother said I should have been a hippie. In my heart - I've always been and forever will be. Amen.

The story was gold. The music was a bonus.
Amen to that!
Amen Johnny, amen✌️
He tells a different story than has been heard before about the Dead. They may have been tripping, but their equipment was wet and not properly grounded. They were getting shocked touching their instruments.
Yeah, it was and still is! John Fogerty couldn't have stay pissed off forever at The Grateful Dead - he did, after all, show up for the Jerry Garcia memorial in Golden Gate Park the weekend after Jerry passed away. I remember Bob Weir introduced him onto the stage. That event was one of the largest public events ever held in G.G. Park and there were no arrests made. No one got rowdy, stupid, too obnoxious; it was all about honoring the memory of The Grateful Dead's frontman. And John Fogerty was part of that too.

Nice.
fantastic, Jeremy!
Superb comment !
Jeremy Miller!! WELL SAID!!
@AL GORITHM I was there to AL.
John is aging very well, and his voice hasn’t changed, just as great as ever.
I noticed the change in his voice just in the last year or two. I think he's 78 so, not so bad.
lol the dude sounds nothing similar
Nice to keep your hair isn't it. And for it not to go grey, and to stay slim.
He doesn't have the rasp anymore, but he hasn't lost his range. Singing how he did as a young man should've destroyed his range, but it didn't.
You’re an idiot.

Music is supposed to touch your heart and change lives, that's why we love it so much! Music is way more powerful than people know, its likely the best thing humanity has done thus far! The only thing we can be proud of if we meet an alien lifeform, they just may laugh at the rest......
Maybe so but hey bet they are proud. Still rocks. ❤️
Hey kids, your dad's the real deal. Every kid between the ages of 14 and 18 idolized your old man back in the day (including me).
hell I still listen to CCR and I'm 78. That band and a few others from my generation kept me sane
You haven't lost a thing John, just like 1970 again ~ Great voice and very talented kids ~ You and your family stay safe
There’s only one John Fogerty living legend
This is so frigging cool. It has everything, John, the Kids, the girl blowing bubbles and that sweet van. God bless y'all.
Thats all we need to live my man
indeed
@@bernardopiaiazilio5002 I lived through that time and music. I'm 75 and miss it so much and I'm just thankful for UA-cam for allowing it to be listen to. Like you said, "That's all we need to live my man". Take care, be safe
CCR como te vamos a olvidar as sido la alegría de millones de jóvenes y viejos los sigo escuchando desde 1969 tengo 78 años 😍 espero escucharlos muchos años más✌✌✌😁
Very very good CCR I been 64 years old ,I bin you 50 years absolutely Fan thank you John Fogerty and CCR
ANZAC Day here in 🇦🇺 and I'm reflecting on life and times and listening to John... and thinking, I was born in that summer of '69 when John was playing to that one dude in Woodstock. 🤣😂 Peace all ✌️
Just back from the Dawn Service here in Macau and was thinking the same.
Lest We Forget🌹
Lest We Forget ✨🇦🇺💛
I was 16 in 1969 and grew up listening to CCR. "Fortunate Son" from "Willy and the Poor Boys" became a powerful anti-war song of that era. Conscription ended just before I turned 18 and so I was spared the horrors of Vietnam and I didn't have serve as my father and grandfather did. I remember them both on ANZAC day. Thanks John. Lest we Forget.🇦🇺
John, you changed my life, and not in the way you changed millions, I'm not a old man, or even a wise man, I'm just a man lost in this new world, but your music saved me, its not a story worth telling, but please know I am grateful.
Glad to hear, good luck.
Amen. Same here
My son saw him last night at Pine Knob and said it was one of the best concerts he’s ever been to, if not the best! A 79 yr old John Fogerty still has it! Gave one helluva a performance! 🔥
We seen him at Pine knob too this year and it was awesome. Best concert I’ve been to.
Just saw him in Oregon. Such an uplifting performance and feel with him having his family there and now his songs back where they belong.
Saw CCR at the Forum in Los Angeles in August 1970, about a month before I went into the Air Force. A year later, I was in Vietnam at age 19 and CCR's music like so many other artist's music of the day saw me, and many, many more GI's through the insanity of war. Thanks John!!!
I'm John's next door neighbor....I hear this every day!!
No way you lucky man
lucky man 😯
Please would you change place with me, you get this rap, kizomba, shit in exchange..CCR and JOhn are legends, i would be so glad to live next door to a legend!!
Lucky neighbor.
I was just thinking this before I saw your message. Wow how awesome would it be, to be John's neighbor 👍👍👍👍
I love John's anecdotes , he is truly a national treasure.
Those young people are so privileged to get to play and sing with this legend.
Then I realized those are his kids.
Fortunate sons, and daughter.
Actually, I woke up when CCR started playing. One of the few things I remember about that weekend.
Obi Baddad well as the saying goes if you can remember the sixties, you weren’t there
John Lawrence John fogerty remembers?
Me too,I remember I couldn't find my pants.
Good on ya!
I was awake for the Dead . YES , everyone on the hill jumped up and danced CCR's whole set . Best of show !!!
Cracks me up. Can you tell by the looks on their faces how many times the kids had to listen to these stories!!! Still good :-)
When yer dads John Fogerty his kids just just have to let him take has long has he wants with his remaniscing. What a legend .
Yeah what are they going to say ? We don't want to hear about why you are legendary ?
Creedence music is immortal and transcends absolutely everything else. John is a national treasure. I don't say that lightly.
Но!он Джон развалил группу!?и обидел друзей, которые были вынуждены от него уйти!?,ну а дальше у него ничего не получалось,бледная тень CCR,
A voice that will never be emulated. Mr John Fogerty. Sir, you are one of a kind....Thank you for your music over the years....Never forgotten...
One of bucket lists items is to see John Fogerty in person, love hearing and playing his music!! Like Paul Harvey use to say now we know “The rest of the story” thank you!
Yeah I've loved his music for 45 year. He did a book signing if you bought his book. He spoke for a while and played a couple songs, then signed everyones book and shook hands with each fan, was great.
It's a great show. He tells these stories during the show. Sounds great too.
The Vegas show at the Wynn was great, and his boys played when I seen him.
Yes that was on my bucket list as well and I filled it twice at Lethbridge Alberta Canada saw the 1969 and the 50 year show both were great
Saw him 2,years ago with ZZ Top!
The young guys look like they heard this a million times!
John your daughter has heard this a million times, she's beautiful though cheers from Australia
I'm 66 years young and I've never cared for the Dead but have always been a CCR fan. I guess I just never saw the infatuation with the Dead
Yeah, I'm 72...never understood the Deadhead thing. Outside of "Truckin," thought their stuff was boring.
I was a CCR fan too. Their music brings back great childhood memories.
I am 30 and I grew up with his music. When I have a bad day, I put on CCR and feel so much better
They are alright riding that train... Fogerty was my Dads favourite though so I heard lots of it as a kid I think it's better but the festival express is worth a viewing too. John is a total legend so glad I can brag I have seen him play live.
Hey Fogerty's Factory, I am speechless. Absolutely Mind Blowing Rendition ! I can hear 500,000 people applauding, keep them coming. THANKS
50+ years later and your music is still as relevant now as it was then. Thanks for the music!
First 45 I bought as a young teen with my .50ct’s against my mother’s wishes. To this day this song brings tears to my eyes. ✌️
The man’s a living history lesson
I'm only 55 and I love all your music that you've ever created and I've heard at all.. but seeing you now today compared to before I just have to say "what an awesome dad you are! You gave all your children the gift of music and you get to share it with them💖 and then share it with others💖 what you've done is endless💖 thank you John you and your family so much for that, health and happiness and safety for you and your family always!!!!💖💖💖💖
Cool to see his own kids do backup vocals as they accompany him. Family band.
The Beatles were another planet obviously, but CCR was, is, will be my passion forever. My young years roared with the mighty John's voice, my old years defend theirselves seeing John still here with me and you.
Grandchildren
John Boucher His own kids, see the drop down notes!
I was serving with the U.S. Army in Vietnam in August of '69, so I didn't hear much about Woodstock. 'Nam wasn't bad though, temperatures were only around 120 degrees, and monsoon season was great. I saw John on his 'Blue Moon Swamp' tour in Boston, and he was fantastic!! Thank you for the autographed CD John, and the nice letter from your wife Julie she sent from the Westin Hotel in Colorado. A very nice lady! Congratulation to you and your wonderful family.
Thank you for your service! God bless you.
@@donnalee3082 Thank you!
You're more than welcome!
Yes Sir, Thank You Alot for you service!
Never was a Dead Head fan , but I've "always " been a fan of you and your music . I'm soon be 64 yes old and still LOVE YOUR MUSIC !
May GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 👪
You missed the boat
Can’t imagine not being a dead fan
John you have got to be one of the most down to earth artists we have ever been blessed to have. A rock and roll legend sir. Much love from the UK.
“Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains” still one of the best lyrics ever written
Stalin's Five year plans and FDR's New Deals
And those lyrics are more relevant now than ever.
Yes it is 👍👍👍👍👍💯
The point is: this is music. And it‘s timeless. Thank you, John!
Two "Johns" that I could sit and listen to telling stories for hours, John Fogerty and Steppenwolf's John Kay!
Mellencamp isn’t bad either
@@dannyhemphill7618 Yes you are right, love his song story "Minutes to memories" among many others....
will john lennon qualify?
@@volkerallert5364 Qualify? Creedence LOVED The Beatles. What goes over, under, around, everyone,s heads these days is that All of the bands back then, and some today, loved The Beatles. From Creedence to Black Sabbath to Neil Young, CSNY, E.L.O., Canned Heat, the list goes on and on and on. There are reasons for that that , if you weren't there, you didn't live through it and see it all unfold the way that it did you might not be able to see the whole picture. Like it or not The Beatles were KING. That's a fact that will never change.Firstly because of their incredible music and without them the magical inspiration that fuelled the whole scene would not have happened. Period. Thank you volker allert for asking that most pertinent of questions.
YOU ARE THE GREATEST, JOHN & FAMILY!!!!!........:)
I still remember my dad singing Who'll stop the rain. That was the first album I ever loved, Cosmos Factory. Thanks, dad for introducing John Fogerty's music to me.
Thank you so much for your sweet words towards me 💓💕💕
@@johnfogerty4662 A few years before COVID, I got tickets to your show in LA at the Pantages, loved it so much, I bought tickets for the next night in Orange County. Thank you for the best shows!!
When i was a gigging musician, our CCR covers were always highlights in the show. Too much fun to play! Thank you for all the amazing music John, we’re all still with you!!!
The family needs to be an actual touring act, they're really good
His eldest son has toured with him for a few years now. The other has on and off.
I've seen the Grateful Dead twice and they put me to sleep and I was straight both times never a drug taker just a musician. But Mr Fogarty I've seen you a couple of times and you never put me to sleep you are one of the best American musicians in my lifetime the dead well that's a whole nother story. Many blessings to you and your family
I saw the Dead once just to say I saw them. I hate to say it, but I didn't think it was very good. The crowd was more of the show.
jesus ocando critics and judges of others are a dime a dozen- thumbs down to your knowledge and opinions
?
I mean, John/CCR wrote more memorable original songs that a lot more people identify with the 60s than the Dead who were primarily known for their covers. Funny how the definition of "real" differs from person to person. 🤷
Love you man!...wish we were living in the 60's and 70's right now...2020 sucks ass!
Love that story here l am named raine was busy giving birth on that night the news was on in the labor room & they came on loved this band. I always told my kids that song was named after me..
I Love Creedence,unforgetable,the best of music of all the times
Our country needs more of your messages through your great music. Now more than ever. Sending love to you.
Family time! His Woodstock story is legendary, John Fogerty is America distilled into a musical genius and I love that man with all my heart. ❤️🇺🇸
Thanks 💝
To John Fogerty. ::: John , I was there . Yes , The Grateful Dead did put the majority of the peeps asleep. BUT , when you came on , the whole crowd jumped up and started dancing . Not stoping till you finished. I considered your set the best of the whole show. I am now 75 , you do the math. Love you , Dude.
We’re still with you, John!
Good memories
Very few performers can keep their voice that good after all these years
John. Is gr8. Im 67. And know where and when he came from. Awesome
My favorite band in my era...when music was everything.
You have been my favorite John. I,m 78 years young & keep your favorite’s CD in my car &
Play it often. God Bless you.
The hit parade. Dude can write some songs.
One of the greatest, right up there with Paul Simons and Bob Dylan.
There was music at it best for our generation. The music of today just has no soul.
JOHN FOGERTY HAS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY #1 ! HES NOT ONLY A BRILLIANT SONGWRITTER HIS VOICE IS LIKE NO OTHER! READ HIS BOOK! AMAZING MAN! 💘 LOVE YOU JOHN THANK YOU!!!
In the middle of autobiography now. Read by John.
You wrote the soul soundtrack to my generation.
"For that guy." [in the crowd...] "Then I went home and wrote this song." - A life experience story time for the ages John...Godspeed & Peace...
thank you john for the story, and the great music. keep on chooglin.
THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS
10000000000 THANKS FOR UPLOADING ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS OF ALL TIME

John Fogerty has been a gift. A beautiful performance with his kids Shane, Tyler, and Kelsy. Adding to the beauty of this is John's 76 or 77. AMAZING 🎸👏🌄🌿🇺🇸
Love you John! Thanks for the stories and of course; the music!
You wouldn’t think John is turning 75 soon. He’s aged very well
colemann76 I know right. Not one grey hair.
Yeah riiight. Been hitting the bottle. (Of dye)
Wow...he really has.
5:43 that shows amazing he is! He’s 75 here, maybe 74, but that sounded beautiful! This is one of my favorite CCR songs! I love his voice!
Story, scene, song, car, lady dressed in yellow, etc.. just perfect.
I cant listen to John without tears coming to my eyes, not just nostalgia for old times but recognizing his great heart.
The way John's daughter looks at her father (especially after the song) is worth a million fans. Bless you man and keep playing real music and not the digital noises we hear today.
The world was a simpler place when this was written. Love me some John Fogerty!
The music of CCR and J. Fogerty is always a memory of my youth.
That was great, John & Family! Love to hear the great music you wrote & sang, now & forever! The best. Kelsy, Tyler and Shane, cherish playing with your Dad, while you can! Best/PP👍😊❤️
Best thing on the inter webs is John Fogerty and his kids playing the good stuff!
John saw you in Vegas, the best show ever. You are a wonderful entertainer. ❤️
Storytelling with John.❤🌏My Dad loved this song I miss him so much.
