no chance of that. Just look at Stallone's videos with his daughters, they have like zero respect for their old man, and it's f**ing RAMBO were are talking about :))
When the Covid-19 outbreak started, I had no idea that John Fogerty was going to be the one celebrity to step up to the plate and really deliver something useful during these times. Way to go John and family.
There are many, many of them doing it. Check out the Rolling Stone (Magazine) youtube channel as well as Facebook walls & youtube channels of many musicians (Paul Simon, Sarah Jarosz, Joan Baez et al ). Do check out Yo-Yo Ma's Facebook. Good on John Fogerty!
Check out Leland Sklar's posts too.. he is telling insider stories that are just amazing. He's covered his time with Phil Collins and James Taylor so far and is on Toto.
doobie brothers have done also, to my surprise when i wanted to listen to blackwater, a recent live performance came up i wonder what other classic greats are doing isolation performances
@stevee8884 if i lived in area I'd be willing to try and evade the motion activated turrets and security drones for a chance of watching this from a nearby bush.
These are historic times in that the greats do this at this time when they dont have to. I am 67 and John Fogerty and the others such as Neil Sedaka do these things from the heart to help others. What a great pleasure it is after these decades to see these people are still doing fine and its in their blood to perform to provide for others.--for absolutely zero possible financial gain.
The Green River 45 rpm single was the first record I ever purchased, when I was eight years old. Thank you. Great to know the story. Oh yeah, I still have it!
I was 14...but yes, first 45 I ever bought....and then I saved my money, bought a "real" stereo, and then purchased my first album....Green River. And soon after my second album: Bayou Country.
I'd personally like to thank John and his talented family for single handedly, getting us through the pandemic, and for getting us through Vietnam. Always there for us. Generation after generation. #fogerty 💕
Don't think I've ever been in a band that DIDN'T cover this...(the royalties check is in the mail John...). Still no rust on those pipes! Loving these posts! The generational aspect makes me smile every time! Clearly there is a respect there! ...(and here)
@@mercatorjubio3804 Sorry but I need to correct you. As far as I can tell Fantasy Records was giving him the rights back starting way back in 2005, I´m pretty sure he has them all back by now but it´s hard to find anything up to date. He´s worth 80 Million as of 2020 so he´s doing well considering how bad the business and so called friends ripped him off. Peace. p.s. It was indeed very sad and Corporations like that are truly a wretched lot.
@@mercatorjubio3804 Found some more info, he does have the rights back for all of his songs and they (Fantasy I guess) even had to pay the huge costs that had accumulated over the very long court battles. An even sadder story is that of Bad Finger, both songwriters ended up killing themselves over it, one early on and the other years later.
I always thought John came from the South. His songs sound like he was raised in Louisiana. LOL He is a great songwriter, great guitarist & has a still has that great high pitched rock tenor voice. I think his Family concerts are fantastic.
God bless you Mr. Fogerty... I’m in Portugal 42 years old... I grew up listing to my dads vinyls and found you and CCR at my 12.... one of my favourite bands of all time !!
Spirit filling. Sweeping views and good people coming together to share great music. Simply superb. Thank you all. I remember drinking green rivers at our local soda fountain! Never thought I would be able to share that memory directly with Mr. Fogerty. But here we are. Life goes on even in these somber times. Just adore that beautiful doggie.
What a great song! Excellent rendition! I have loved that song since it came in the 60s!! Till this day my foot starts padding every time I hear it! Great job!!!
Greetings from Madrid, Spain. We are listening to you and we are happy seeing your family, the fire and the countryside. A big hello, Fogerty´s family.
@@cockeyedoptimista I think it's safe to say the Spanish Sierra Nevada was named first. It's Spanish for snowcapped mountain range. All's well. Been doing social distancing for years.
It's July 1973, The suns out it's hot I have thumb in the air for ride. A dark blue MG convertible pulls over, the cat driving pushes an 8 track in the Blaupunkt. On comes this tune "Green River" I was 14 years old. Now 47 years later and 61 years of age the sun is out and its hot. Listened to this and heading out for the first scoot of the year on the HD. Put a candle in the window, I'll be home late. Thanks Fogerty for so much, you're always sunshine and hot. Take care brother!
LOVE YOUR COMMENT J H ,MY HARLEY IS BEING REBUILT RIGHT NOW,KNUCKLE HEAD ,DEFINITELY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKIN BOUT,WHERE YOIU ARE COMING FROM MY FRIEND, AIN'T IT GREAT THAT WE CAN STILL CRUISE ON AND LISTEN TO THIS LEGEND, I SURE THINK SO,TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL AND SAFE BROTHER,GREAT COMMENT, WALTER B,MEMPHIS TN😃😁😊💯
John Fogerty is one of a small number of musical geniuses the world has been graced with thany you if we are extremely lucky your children will have one tenth of your talent thank you very much.
The kids are laughing . . dad is talking about his olden days again. I can relate coz my kids treat me the same way when my mind wanders back to other places. LOL
I hear you my Best friends kids look into space almost when Him and I get yacking and break out into histerical laughter over the most craziest comments ,Till I make a goofy face with no teeth and you watch the milk pour from every duct in the kids face from them laughing then they get it HA HA HA .
I know that view i spent many sunsets in that spot before the house was built if you look close you can see my old neighborhood best sunset on planet earth. It's in Newbury Park CA looking west toward Oxnard. Often driving up to that spot in my 4X and listening to Creedence and others. Go figure wish i could go there now and sit by that fire simply fantastic
IT REALLY IS, AMAZING, MAGICAL EVEN, THE GREAT JOHN FORGERTY,SSSOOO GREAT,A TRUE GENIUS AND LEGEND, WALTER B,MEMPHIS TN TAKE CARE AND STAY WELL AND SAFE
He was telling the story of how he wrote the song to the viewers in TH-cam's audience. The kids are obviously intelligent, the sons are professional.musicians, and I'm sure they understand thi
The soda fountain at my Dad’s drugstore served green rivers. I grew up on them. It was lime-flavored syrup and carbonated water on ice. Very refreshing on hot, humid Midwestern summer days.
My brother Tom rented a little house on an almond ranch off Olive School Road (I think that was the name) just up a hill from Putah Creek in the early 70's and I would visit him for the weekend and would fish in 'GreenRiver' and sometimes we'd go swim in Lake Berryessa just up the road . It was so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for writing a song about it John and I'm glad it was a hit for you. Your songs make people feel good . Sincerely Jim Shewey
Ernesto Crespin So true. Where is CCR gone? It’s right here in this video. John and his kids. 😆 Dam! If they do a tour. I’m sure people will go. I know I would. XD
This is fatherhood at its best... camp fire, marshmallows, heart warming music winnie the pooh and grass root stories that span generations. From one bay area father to another... well done John, well done!!
Great John! Good you still alive!! Your music accompanied me for 50 years!!! I learned to play guitar with your songs. Bad Moon Rising,,,my first song! Greetings from germany my friend!
This is just so amazing. What John achieved in music in 3 years in the cusp of the 60s/70s and now he’s uploading HD home videos with his kids. This is just too much. It’s awesomeness beyond description.
John thank you so much! As I've mentioned I have loved you since the beginning. Heard bad moon on the rise in Vietnam in 69 on the radio station AFVN. no one who knows music will always know your voice. Brought much joy to me and always has.
John,I'm sorry to compare you to a vintage car but you are truly like a revived,preserved and restored '57 Chevy American classic car that never gets old.At this present age and time,You still sing like as if you're 25 years old when you're the lead singer and front man of your great,amazing and incredible band called Creedence Clearwater Revival!!!
I think my fav has always been "Graveyard Train." I was 17 in 1969, the year my Mom passed away. And this song always causes me to pause and to reflect on my Mom's short life (39). Love Ya, Mom! Peace. (DH, Oklahoma, May 01, 2020)
50 years ago, when I was in junior high in Southern CA, they would play movies at lunch time. You would see about 20-30 minutes of the movie each day from Monday thru Friday. Whoever the kid was who operated the projector played "Green River" EVERY day over the sound system as you waited for the movie to start. Those of us who met in the auditorium for this every day would laugh and look at each other and say, "Again?" Good thing it was a great song! And here I am, listening again. Loved your book John, what an amazing read.
This has to be the most heartwarming channel I've seen in a very long time. John has been a part of my music life since I first heard him. Now I can add his children to the mix in my older years, thank you to the Fogerty family. Stay safe and be well.
John, first of all,THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, and thank you so much for the Music that you enriched the World with. I too am a Vietnam ERA Veteran. I joined the US Army in 1973 as a Seventeen year old and am now 65 years old. My Father had to co-sign so I could join because I was considered a Minor. Your songs are so fun and interesting and I have had a blast over my time when I was the Lead Singer in several Bands that we had here in El Paso, Tx. I could always count on songs like, "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Proud Mary", "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and many more to absolutely fill the Dance floor immediately when we would just start playing the intro. But I have watched you during this Covid-19 Virus, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your Children perform with you and they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! But with your personal touch of telling the stories and along with the performances of the songs, you almost make me feel like I am a part of your Family too!!!! The other thing that has always impressed me about you is how gracious you are always to your fans. You are truly a special man and from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful gift that you share with us in these Videos with your talented Kids. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in your Family, that's for sure!! God Bless you and your Family.
Whoa, never knew this song was about Putah Creek. Family has a cabin up there still, great swimmin' and great fishing. The Lake isn't bad either...lol. keep up with the stories..... Goin up to Creek this weekend, Gonna BLAST this song, and tell the neighbors your story!!!
FYI, I fist saw you with CCR at Oakland Coliseum, I believe it was 1972 or 1973? Tom had already left the band. I was 13 years old. My older brother brought me. Great music and super memories!!
Thanks so much for explaining about how you put this song together John. It's lovely that you and your family do this for us all to enjoy. Thank you! 🌠💕🌌
...the setting, the atmosphere, the story, the music...John, it doesn’t get any better than this...we loved it, Green River is one of our favs, too... Cutter & Ms C
Probably my favorite CCR song. Such a fantastic tune all the way around, but those guitar licks are what made it stand out for me. Then the incredibly evocative lyrics and John’s powerful and unique voice. It really doesn’t get any better. How did a kid from El Cerrito come up with this stuff? It really is amazing.
My oh my, have the times changed. One of the true geniuses of the 60's & 70's still sounds fantastic and his body of work is as timeless as it is charming. Love the family angle that this goddam virus has wrought -- maybe the ONLY thing about it that is fun, in the moment. Thank the gods that TH-cam, for all its faults, exists -- and is so accessible. You can work at your PC or whatever and listen to stories from the one and only John Fogerty. Amazing.
Living Legend, not the first to say it, or the last. Fortunate to have seen Creedence nearly 50 years ago. Fan of his music since Proud Mary. Green River, never got tired listening to it. The 87 should take a swim in Green River... maybe they would be saved!!!
I hope John’s children realize what a great musical legend their dad is.
Tim Moran I’m sure they do!
no chance of that.
Just look at Stallone's videos with his daughters, they have like zero respect for their old man, and it's f**ing RAMBO were are talking about :))
No why?
You saved me the comment dude! They look bored with the stories, but I'm sure they brag about the whole thing with their friends.
Yes INDEED, He IS A LEGEND NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT,Walter B.Memphis 😝

i wonder what other classic greats are doing isolation performances
Right on! I came here from the Doobie Brothers channel doing the same thing. I am loving it!
It doesn't get any better. Holy Moly
How great would it be to be Fogerty’s neighbours? “Can you turn it up a bit?!” Loving these family sessions
Doesn't' look like he has many neighbors
Same. I want to retire early now😂😂just so I can live nearby.
With that view comes at a price in California..lol..beautiful!!!! Amen
Omg neighbors from heaven!!!!!! Lol
@stevee8884 if i lived in area I'd be willing to try and evade the motion activated turrets and security drones for a chance of watching this from a nearby bush.
Green River has one of the greatest opening riffs of any song ever, Mr. Fogerty, thank you!
Back 1970 i belonged to a social club and that song was on the juke box.Needless to say we wore that record out.😂😂
The baddest ever 🤘
I always dug it & never realized how simple it is. Simple and unique, that was CCR for me.
Thank you awesome to see
He has created several immortal guitar riffs.
yes!!! . together with " Smoke on the water"
@@tarsiciofuneslorea6901 oh
Yes he has and nothing close to them. So unique in sound.
He created several just for the first album.

The Green River 45 rpm single was the first record I ever purchased, when I was eight years old. Thank you. Great to know the story. Oh yeah, I still have it!
Years back we had a motorcycle club house and the juke box played 5 for a quarter.Green river was our best selection.It played day and nite!👍👍
my first record i ever bought was the 45 with up around the bend/ run through the jungle at woolworths 40 cents
Basement Berean basement do you remember where you bought it🤔
I was 14...but yes, first 45 I ever bought....and then I saved my money, bought a "real" stereo, and then purchased my first album....Green River. And soon after my second album: Bayou Country.
How slow did you play it?
I love the kids jokingly laughing at their pops story... I suspect one day they will watch this back and appreciate it a lot more.
They're like "Oh here he goes telling the green river story again" 😂 awesome. To me dude is a musical god, to them he's just pops lol.

Wow that view is amazing!
If only that dog knows how blessed he/she is to be standing right in front of john fogerty and listen to this live for free

Thank you so much John. It is always a pleasure to hear and see you...now especially with your family. Cheers!
FYI, I fist saw you with CCR at Oakland Coliseum, I believe it was 1972 or 1973? Tom had already left the band. I was 13 years old. My older brother brought me. Great music and super memories!!
Spectacular View! Thanks for the cool vibes 🌷

Thank you very much to you and family.
Greetings from Argentina
I wish i could play along with you all...
I could spend a whole night just hearing those stories.
Lucky family.

Probably my favorite CCR song. Such a fantastic tune all the way around, but those guitar licks are what made it stand out for me. Then the incredibly evocative lyrics and John’s powerful and unique voice. It really doesn’t get any better. How did a kid from El Cerrito come up with this stuff? It really is amazing.
Me too. Always has been too. So damn cool and dirty. Love it!
God bless him
When this is all over please come to L.A. and play a show w/ your family John. You are a legend John.
Been listening and loving this mans music for a lotta years. It doesnt get any better. God bless john. Happy birthday
My oh my, have the times changed. One of the true geniuses of the 60's & 70's still sounds fantastic and his body of work is as timeless as it is charming. Love the family angle that this goddam virus has wrought -- maybe the ONLY thing about it that is fun, in the moment. Thank the gods that TH-cam, for all its faults, exists -- and is so accessible. You can work at your PC or whatever and listen to stories from the one and only John Fogerty. Amazing.
Beautiful loved it !!!!!
Life is good for Mr. Fogerty. As it should be. This man earned every cent.
Living Legend, not the first to say it, or the last. Fortunate to have seen Creedence nearly 50 years ago. Fan of his music since Proud Mary. Green River, never got tired listening to it. The 87 should take a swim in Green River... maybe they would be saved!!!
