Being a teen in the late ‘50’s & early ‘60’s the group was after my time. Later, as the Viet Nam war was raging & people I knew who came home in body bags, I learned to appreciate their sound along with Bob Dylan.

I saw lead singer John Fogerty in Dublin a few years ago - he was awesome.
shareYes, I've seen him a couple of times and he puts on a rockin' good show!
shareI have a CCR live which doesn't sound that much different than what is on their albums.
Does/did JF play it note for note and sounds exactly like the album or does he do anything different like more jamming to make it better as a live show?
He performs the songs pretty close for the most part but will go into some extended jams at certain points.
shareChicago is another great band that sounds just as good live as their studio versions.
shareIt's the one band everyone in my family likes.
shareI thought it was funny that they sued John Fogerty when he went solo because he sounded too much like himself.
shareDid you know Neil Young was sued by Geffen records for NOT sounding like himself, lol (Rock Trivia Andy).
shareAre you serious? I was not aware of the lawsuit. They sued because Fogerty “sounded too much like himself”? Life took me elsewhere so CCR was put on the back burner. I never checked to why Fogerty split. It seems to happened with groups. Look how the Everly Brothers were apart for years.
shareInteresting read about Fogerty and his troubles:

I love CCR!
shareI was a redneck/pothead back then, played drums in a band and we did several of their hits. Yeah, I love their sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs99a-5vgA0
shareYou must have been cool.
WTF happened to you?
Jack Nicholson personifies "cool" to me in the movie Wolf.
My band played in a bar one night frequented by bikers, farmers and other assorted rednecks. Ironically, it was named The Pink Door. You would think, with that kind of a crowd, that a fight would break out any minute. Nope. Everyone just had a good time drinking and dancing. Free beer for me all night, some extra cash in my pocket and the joy of playing my drums.
What happened to me is people like you entering my life.
Jack Nicholson is indeed cool in everything he does. Wow, we agree on something!
Guess I got under your skin, huh?
It would be best to avoid each other, we pollute the boards with our mutual dislike and neither one of is the backing down sort, both too bullheaded.
Their song Effigy seems like it was made for right now:

shareStill thinking about last week's trash.
YOU have mental problems.
Coming from one of his brainwashed followers. You enabled him for months until he finally turned on you, pissed you off also. You have absolutely no sense of how to accurately read people. You're actually a lot like him, a pathological liar and manipulative ego-stroker.
shareMore lies from you, you seem obsessed with dead floaters, why don't you go hang out with the bodies?
