Creedence Clearwater Revival Finally Release Woodstock Performance After 50 Years

After 50 years the Creedence Clearwater Revival complete set has finally been released as a live album.

Creedence Clearwater Revival weren’t on the original soundtrack album or movie. They wouldn’t sign their rights over. It wasn’t until the 40th anniversary DVD release when they allowed their first recordings from the 1969 even to be used.

Now the complete set it out as ‘Live in Woodstock’.

When Creedence played Woodstock they had just released their third album ‘Green River’ a weeks earlier on 3 August, 1969.

On Conan O’Brien’s show recently John Fogerty explained the band’s 2:30am timeslot. “We were promised a primetime on a Saturday night, like 9 o’clock,” Fogerty told O’Brien. “What they didn’t tell us that we were going to follow The Grateful Dead. The Dead didn’t go until midnight but what they didn’t tell us that they were all taking LSD. We had to follow that. It was literally 2:30 in the morning”.
