creedence clearwater revival thread

Fogerty is a weirdo & an asshole (see: faking a southern accent/persona, treatment of his brother)

But is a fucking songwriting genius, and a great showman. The 2 times I've seen him live (2012 & 2016) were among the best classic rock/nostalgia act shows I've done. Rocked very hard, and his son can really play.

As far as their hits go, Green River is probably my favorite.

Just noticed Fogerty is playing Red Rocks in June. But the seating set up is terrible and it would cost like $100 per ticket. Gonna have to pass on that.

[LoathedVermin72]

Seem like they’re usually cited as “Swamp Rock”

How is the seating any different from any other concert there?

I guess the variables would be reserved vs. pit near the front.

Fogerty is coming here as well. What a legend.

Where the reserved stuff is and where GA is. I fucking hate when they do reserved sections at Red Rocks. It should all be GA.

My dad loves CCR.

I grew up liking them alright.

Then I learned they are not from the south but rather the first manufactured boy band, really, from California and that kinda ruined it for me.

wtf

Len is this WTF as in...

You are shocked that they are from Cali

Or

You are shocked that this lessened my opinion of them

Yes, they were always a legit band.
