Story by Howard Bartlett, OR, USA

I saw Creedence Clearwater Revival live right after their first album came out. The concert was in Long Beach, CA and they were doing a lot of the Bayou Country album music.

There were two other bands with them that night. The opening act was The Sir Douglas Quintet, then came on The Grass Roots. Both of these bands put on awesome shows, but then Creedence came out and blew both of the previous band out. CREEDENCE WAS GREAT. They only played for about 45-60 min. Their last song was "Keep On Chooglin'" and they played a longer version of it than they ever recorded it just went on and on.

Do you want to submit a story of your own memories of the Creedence Clearwater Revival (concerts, recordings, anything) onto this section?It's easy. Preferably, write your Creedence story onto your own web page, let me know the address of it, and I'll put a link to there. If you don't have the web facilities, you may submit your story to me via email and I'll be happy to put it onto my page. Thanks!
