CCR was supposed to perform in primetime, but that was before the Grateful Dead hit the stage hopped up on LSD.

John Fogerty’s Woodstock Memories | CONAN on TBS

he is surprisingly youthful for someone who's pushing 70.

Man, it's a shame CCR didn't last longer. It's amazing what they managed to do in just 5 years' time, and they're still considered one of the best rock bands of all time even today. I really hope they manage to work out their legal issues and have another reunion, that would be amazing.

The grateful Dead are also quoted as saying they were being shocked from all the mics because it was raining and none of the equipment was grounded properly. I think that's what the silence John heard was, the grounds crew fixing the electrical set up so the bands wouldn't be electrocuted.

Conan, please interview more music legends...while they're still with us!

[editboy]

Wouldn't it be awesome to find "that guy" and introduce them

[allisonhopper]

I saw him at bethel woods last summer and he told the same story, haha. Awesome concert, so cool that he came back to where Woodstock happened after 45 years.

[musicalchairs]

He's the best at letting the songs come through and not letting any ego get in the way. Just perfect natural simplicity. It comes on the radio, you turn it up, and always feel better than you did a few minutes ago.

I would like to see John Fogerty and his children in concert playing all of John's ( CCR's) hits. What a legend.

Love John Fogerty...been a fan of him and CCR since the 60's. Too bad the other members of the band refused to accept the genius and talent of John, who was the essence of CCR. This should have become evident to them after the Mardi Gras album debacle. CCR had a good thing going, , , too bad it was cut short by jealousy.

Good story- I interviewed Marty Balin (Airplane) for my radio show. He said that backstage was all drugs. He said the bands played cards all night...they would be stoned...drunk...sobered up...and stoned again. They played cards all night and day. Whichever band lost the card game would have to go out. He said he played cards with Janis and Jimi.

They put one Hell of a show at woodstock. John was on fire at that night.

Love the ending. Shows how one person can make a difference

[justinblackburn]

It was me! Feels good to finally get some love and recognition for that! ❤️❤️❤️

[tripjet]

Heard the new "CCR - Live At Woodstock" CD on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show. How many bands playing at Woodstock have gotten THEIR own album like this? Amazing!

[ohthepeppers]

Keep on Chooglin', Mr Fogerty. Keep on Chooglin'

[davelabadie]

This is so funny. I love CCR and I could imagine jamming out to them at Woodstock.

[brittanyring]

He's my favorite musician, love Creedence Clearwater Revival!

[SlowRide]

We need to find this mysterious man aka "that guy"

[Psilo]

When I was 9 years old, my parents were getting a divorce and my dad has always been a huge ccr fan and he wanted to go see John Fogerty and my parents getting a divorce was hard on me. Well my dad brought me to Choctaw where John fogerty was playing and he wanted me to see him. During the concert he had just finished I think it was either “have you ever seen the rain” or “someday never comes” during the song I got on my dads shoulders and was cheering and I was the only person there under 40 years old and John fogerty saw me and when he was grabbing a different guitar he gave the guitar pic he used during the song and handed it to his wife. she came down to were me and my dad were and said “John wanted me to give you this” I honesty still can’t believe that happened

after watching the dead I still would've been super pumped to watch credence clearwater.
