    John, my son with autism is turning 15 Monday. He loves CCR. No party, no gifts, he says. Just a road trip with Mum to Bethel....Here we come. Thanks for this.

    I went to Woodstock and got there Friday and saw the opening.Left Sunday morning sinee there was no where to buy and food with the $10 I brought with me. I was all the way in the back Friday, but I told my unadventurous friend Saturday that I'm going to the very front. He said its packed solid, how can you even do that. Well, the right flank was very thin with people so I went front that side and then at the front said excuse me about 100 times. I was 6ft, 135 lbs. A bean pole, and this bean pole got right to the front just as Santana started. The music was so good the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I almost made it on the film. I was too the right of this little black guy you see on the film at the stage front fence grooving to the music. I remember that guy clearly.

    Just saw the documentary, unbelievable! I was not alive in 1969 but I can tell you the music, the energy, the dedication, and the unification that took place over those 4 days is something that will probably never be seen again. Wish I could have experienced it first-hand but to listen to their positivity and the simplistic way that life could be was mesmerizing. All the amazing talent that came forth for that festival like Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Janis Joplin and of course that one of a kind legendary performance by Jimi Hendrix was a privilege to watch and listen to. Simply stunning.

    John Fogerty, best rock n roll songwriter/player ever. So, so, much with just such basic chord structures. And that voice. Ahhhhh....that voice. I think that John Fogerty's songs and his creedence-day songs have been played more on the radio, AM or FM, than any other person alive, still, to this very day. Just wonderful. I learned to play guitar listening to his music. What happy times.

    Great story John. I've heard it many times through the years but it was great to hear it personally from you last year at your concert in Wallingford CT. A concert I will always remember and I so look forward to seeing you in concert soon. You are a busy man but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering one question. I've never been able to confirm if you and your old band mates first recording is actually on the song Beverly Angel by the singer James Powell. Be well John and Julie and good luck on tour

    Fantasy records released CCRs Woodstock show finally after 40 years. And it’s worth the wait!
    Great show! The band was smoking hot and tight! They went on too late and were cut out of the film.
    The Hippie nonsense of Woodstock I never cared for. It’s too bad that the other three stabbed Fogerty in the back constantly. Including his own brother Tom! Go figure. I guess he was envious and jealous of him as well. Too bad! Fogerty is free of them all now. You don’t stab the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. The man wrote and sang hit after hit. Hit songs! And your going to betray him? That’s Nuts!
    The late owner of Fantasy was his enemy and actually banned Fogerty from singing his own songs in public!
    Fogerty had to go before a judge to get his rights back.
    What a jerk that owner was!
    May he rot in Hell!
