Ed Sullivan was what we should all want to be when we're old--open to what younger people are doing and thinking, and not wedded to everything we grew up with. He hated racism, and while he wasn't against the war, he understood that many people were and that they had the right to be that way.
In 1972 myself and General Imhoff flew into Saigon and this was the very song played by the pilot of our Huey. It brings back so many memories. Myself and Ron were soon invited to join with the secret service but i can't talk much about that. We were just there for the good food, that is all, apart from we were instrumental in ending that war with our boots firmly to the ground.
I really like the way the camera goes around the band, and it looks like CCR play is live. I remember rolling thur the dirt road in some foreign land like the Mog, locked and loaded and some guy played this song on a cassette player and , What a Rush.
Yep, one single camera shot, Fogerty following the camera, mic pointed straight up to catch his vocals no matter which way he was standing, everything plugged in, 100% live. Good stuff.
@@fz7091 I'm not totally convinced of that but either way the post I responded to said "100% live" which isn't the case and should be pretty clear to any serious musician.
@@joelglanton6531 I'm convinced it's live. Fogerty is making sure he's on top of the mic, everything's plugged in, and - what I think is usually the clincher - Doug Clifford is hitting every beat, every fill perfectly, and this is not the studio version. So there's no way this is just live vocal on top of playback. I know bands sometimes pre-recorded non-studio versions for TV shows and then mimed those versions (most obvious one is The Who's "My Generation" on Smothers Brothers) but this is live. Fogerty's fretwork is spot-on, and so is Stu's bass playing. Tom, well... you barely even see him anyways :)
Beatles this. Beatles that. This is STILL why I want to be in a rock and roll band. and I loudly applaud the stage crew who built that simulated barn set for one song.
As you see, the camera dolly hits its mark every time with the camera person coming in and out right on the director's cue. This is the work of union NABET workers who were their top of seniority ranks to work the Sullivan show. This was an assignment that you did NOT screw up on or you ended up in the basement of CBS "Black Rock" splicing video tape during the midnight shift :)
Standing up for your self. Standing up for rock and roll, outsider music, music for the real man, the common girl/boy the real deal. That's the truth. That's real deal rock/roll
I remember watching this show with my parents (yeah, I'm old) way back when. Been a CCR and John Fogerty fan ever since. Hard to believe all the great music CCR put out in such a short span of time. Shame they couldn't have stayed together for a little bit longer. Nearly 60 years later and CCR's music is still extremely popular.
What a song , sums up a generation & what they were going through in that period of time in 1960s america ,with the vietnam war raging on ..& the young men that were drafted to serve & die there ...

My dad was finally home that Feb of 69 doing 2 tours as a US MARINE with INDIA COMPANY 3RD BATT 26TH. His heaviest battle KHE SAN in 68. he was an F.O . he served form 65-69 we lost him to leukemia do to the effect of Agent orange in 2005.
This goes out to those who may not be aware. CCR was properly the most played music in Nam. Why? Because most of the songs are about being in a combat zone. Listen to the words and you'll understand.
Why would you think that? Ed Sullivan was way ahead of his time. He caught a lot of flack for bringing controversial talent to his show. Especially giving black performers so much exposure. He was the first to put the Supremes and Ray Charles on TV. He was the first to put Elvis and the Beatles. The Doors, the Mama's and the Pappas, Tina Turner, Jefferson Airplane, and tons of others. Ed Sullivan is an icon and doesn't get enough credit for what he did to change the country.

Too bad Fogarty does not have the integrity to acknowledge it, since that person is now a leftist icon. i actually read or heard that Fogarty said the person was David Eisenhower, Ike's grandson and Nixon's son in law, which makes no sense since he was not a Senator's son. as for Trump, he did more to keep us out of needless conflicts than any recent president so it was weird if Fogerty took that cheap shot. if Trump had led us into war, then the comment would at least have reason to be considered, Trump did exactly the opposite. the fact that Fogerty will not even acknowledge who it is about means he can write a great song but not gonna look to him for lessons on integrity and honor.

You are absolutely right! and look up the number of radio hits that they had? And, they could have stayed together, possibly on into the '70s even '80s?
Amazing that the Fogarty brothers, Cook and Clifford struggled through the 60s to find their sound, caught fire in a four-year span, then couldn't get along when they finally achieved success under John Fogarty's leadership, flaming out in '72.

CCR obliterated the Beatles, and knocked them off the charts and the radar of the USA. Incredible feat, despite their internal squabbles, Fogerty was just extremely talented.

One of the best vocal performances ever.

No argument there.
Right
CCR is the pride of El Cerrito, CA! A small town across the bay from San Francisco, next to Berkeley: the epicenter of anti-war movements! 👏👍💪🤗🇺🇸
Right behind the beatles
Make that ever.
They really had that raw southern Bayou groove happening. Great formula 👍
This sounds like The Who to me!
This is fantastic. His voice is great! Perfection by all means. Whoever made it to Sullivan was just awesome 👏🏻
The Ed Sullivan show was solid gold.
I saw John Fogerty live in 2014 and he had not missed a note. What a great, underrated, talent.
Saw him last month in Dublin Ireland playing a full set of Creedence songs. It was amazing.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Creedence Clearwater Revival!
A very important anti-war protest song. I personally believe songs like this helped end the war sooner.
I've seen a lot of CCR coverbands; no one even comes close !! That voice; that energy.... Fantastic !!!!!!
