CCR....Is PERFECTION! And Lex...Your face says it all.... Everytime! It makes me smile😁I love it! And I LOVE CCR! You really can't go wrong with any of their stuff! Thanks for the great reaction!👏
I knew she'd like this one, when the intro starts & then her eyes light up! Happens to me every time I hear this song, even after 52 years of hearing it! & May I say, you Blondie are one beautiful woman indeed!!!!👍✌️
@@missblondie2393Well you made mine as well!! I would love to take you out to have a nice dinner! Just a relaxing evening & listening to CCR! I know, Im probably dreaming, lol🌹❤️👍✌️
@@iamhudsdent2759 Yep .. Seen a lot of their CCR reactions now, and Brad looks like he thinks they're just OK, and he really has nothing much to say about them either way .. Lex meanwhile is dialled right into to them, and her reactions are a pure joy to watch.
As a bored youngster around 1970 or so, I had nothing to do at a cousins' party but listen to a CCR album on the record player. I never forgot how I loved those songs.
John Fogerty once said that during the whole CCR period, he had never been to the Mississippi Delta, and had only been to New Orleans to play gigs, ie. land at the airport, drive to the hotel, rest, drive to the gig, play the gig, drive back to the hotel, sleep, drive to the airport to catch the plane to the next gig. He didn't actually explore the region for himself until decades later.
Yes, El Cerrito is right next to Berkeley (home of UC Berkeley). No doubt they were influenced by the many bands and artists that came to the Bay Area.
A musician friend of mine was familiar with the Ike and Tina Turner version of Proud Mary, but had not heard the original by CCR. When he heard it, he was appalled, and "that's barely competent!" So...not EVERYONE likes CCR.
Well, I haven’t heard a bad song yet and I’m in my 60’s. If the songwriting isn’t there, you don’t have much. In other words, John Fogerty is hands down one of the greatest singer/songwriter/musicians in our lifetime.
He spent years living in my little Canadian town. Few knew he was here. Those who did... were really happy to have him and he wrote a few songs here too for his solo career.
When I was a kid in the 70s, my family would go camping by the river. Not just our family, but a group of friends and their families. We had a little community for a few days. The campsites were just beyond a bend in the road. So this was always my "going camping" song.
My earliest music memory is my dad playing CCR on 8-track, with the tape "dragging" in spots because he'd listened to it so much. Loved them ever since. Thanks for the smile, y'all! Brad with the poker face and Lex the open book! I just discovered y'all's channel. Hitting "subscribe" now!
This song was one of the single releases from the "Cosmo's Factory" album, and led to that album being the very first LP I ever bought, shortly after receiving a record player for Christmas from my parents. By the time "Pendulum" (their next album) came out, I had all but the first two CCR albums in the beginning of my vinyl collection. CCR was the first band I ever collected and still a favorite. The fiasco of the "Mardi Gras" was a sad day, it's too bad egos had to get in the way and destroy an excellent band. I think history has made it rather obvious where the song writing talent in the band truly was.
@@hilarymiseroy3251 Or one of the 10+ minute live versions. On the 40th anniversary edition of their debut album, they included as a bonus track one of those live versions, and it's fantastic. Great quality, and a couple more minutes of jamming. Well worth checking out.
CCR became the Band of the Bayou because of their sound and style when in reality they are from El Cerrito just outside San Francisco.. I first heard them in 1969 and Up and Around the bend was my absolute favourite from this band... Nice lex...
I met John back stage at the Wembley Arena Concert in London. They say you should never meet your hero's well John was fantastic. So gracious and humble he made me feel like I was the most import person there. We chatted till it was time for John to go on stage. My ticket was a long way from the stage but his brother Bob took me to a balcony nearly over looking the stage.A night I will never forget, oh and the concert was awesome 2 hours of wonderful music.I got hooked on CCR back in 1969 and play their music and John's solo work most days.
Lex, you get the vibe! Down home, bayou, craw fish, riverboat music. From down on the corner to up around the bend. Yaaaaaaah! Even the stoic Brad can't help smiling while this one is cranking!
Was lucky enough to see John Fogerty in 2019 at the Bourbon and Beyond Festival in Louisville, Ky. He was one of the best acts of the weekend which included Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, Hall and Oates Joan Jett, just to name a few. Even my 17 year old son was impressed.
You guys should react to more Creedence Clearwater Revival… "Susie Q", "Run Through the Jungle", "Sweet Hitch Hiker", "Someday Never Comes", "Hey Tonight", "Commotion", "Long As I Can See The Light" 🎸🤘
I remember hearing CCR when on the radio when I was about 5 years old (I’m 58 now) and was a fan from that time on. Got to see John Fogarty when he toured Australia about 10 years ago, it was such a great concert. Love your reactions. 👍
“and we’ll meet by the big red tree”. Love that line and can just picture it at the end of the highway up and around the bend! Reminds me of the earlier 70’s college days, where we’d all meet at a place out in the country on the Illinois river in Oklahoma called “No Head Hollow”! So we had a saying “No Head Hollow, bring a Dollar”, which would pay for smoke, hotdogs, buns and mustard and you’d bring your own beer!
I'd love for Brad and Lex to react to one of CCR's more deeply philosophical songs, like "Someday Never Comes", "It's Just a Thought", and "Wrote a Song for Everyone". I love all their light-hearted, joyful, exuberance, but their deeper songs are just as good and hit in a different way. Please request and vote for these songs during live broadcasts so Brad and Lex can hear and react to them.
CCR, like Three Dog Night, got so much air play back in the day that I tended to take them for granted. They really were original and among the best bands of that era. You should checkout John Fogerty’s solo career starting with Center Field.
It's true! It's something that sounds so good, vocals, guitar, all of it together just makes you feel good even if he's singing about bad things happening.
Great CCR choice.. One overlooked gem from John Fogerty's first solo album is titled "Rockin' All Over the World", an awesome tune, but was just a minor hit for him.. worth checking out, though. Thanks.
I remember being at my cousins' house the first time I heard this! He was about 5 yrs. older than me and he had this on 45. He put it on the record player and the rest is history! Not long after it came out! Great reaction y'all!
Thanks Brad and Lex....I love that you feel the music that me and my husband share that we have listened to for forty years together and we enjoy your videos. 🎉
I'm the same. There's a lot of bands I got tired of hearing so much growing up but this is not one of them. And as I get older I see even more musical complexity within the simple containers of their songs and I really appreciate the message of their songs even more. There aren't very many love songs in there. Most bands are about 95% love songs in 5% something else they are the opposite. They make it interesting. I've covered some of their bands live in bands that I've played in. But I beg and implore you guys to check out anyone or all three of these songs that I never see anyone react to and yet they were still hits for Creedence and they are fantastic songs. You will see a side of John Fogerty's voice and the band like you've never seen before. Wish I could hide away, long as I can see the light, it came out of the sky. And of course so many more.
I've been loving this song (and many others by CCR) for 50 years now....I was 12 back then and their songs are still played all over the world; in Germany they were huge, too. This stuff is immortal......
I remember this was one of the songs chosen for contestants to dance to for a dance contest on American Bandstand. You can still see the video of that contest and this song right here on TH-cam
John Fogferty still has it to this day! CCR my jam since the first time i heard them. I'm a 70s teen, old hippie chick. I haven't seen his writing skills diminish nor his vocals. He's amazing.
I grew up in a town so small it wasn’t even on the map. BUT, we had a skating rink down the street! When I was 6 or 7 years old, I couldn’t wait to skate to this. It was my favorite song to skate to!
so talented, knows how to do little and make a big sound. That takes restraint and tons of confidence and nobody does it like they do. The other is THE BAND.
Been listening to CCR since 1970. I never get sick of their music and I love every song . They call it Swamp Rock but the band were from California. John just did it so well.
There was a lot of positivity and energy back in those years. Anything was possible and bands like CCR just drove you there. Lex nailed it about CCR cheering you up.
Right on LEX....CCR is fire!!!!!! I feel blessed to have grown up as a kid with classic rock, it's irreplaceable in your life when you grow up with it..if I would have seen LEX as a teen or in my 20's..I would have had the BIGGEST CRUSH !!! LOL
You cannot go wrong with CCR. Fogerty could sing his ass off. Great songwriter too.
You probably think he's one of these f#*%ers who likes to bite the heads off of chickens, but he's got a hell of a set of pipes on him.
@@joabthejavelin5119 Are you addressing me? I have been listening to John for over 40 years:)
They don't make em like this anymore! CCR is an awesome band!
Whatever "IT" is, John Fogerty captured it and held it for a few years back then. Great song.
CCR....Is PERFECTION! And Lex...Your face says it all.... Everytime! It makes me smile😁I love it! And I LOVE CCR! You really can't go wrong with any of their stuff! Thanks for the great reaction!👏
Those of us in S.Vietnam thought the world of CCR. The sun rose and set with a song from CCR. They were real popular in Japan early 70s.
From the great Cosmo’s Factory album. My favorite CCR song is “Ramble Tamble”.
"You can ponder perpetual motion." Love that line.
That opening riff! And Fogerty is always incredible!
Love Lex's facial expressions when she loves a tune. Joyful. Keep smiling
Great song, love Fogarty's voice
I knew she'd like this one, when the intro starts & then her eyes light up! Happens to me every time I hear this song, even after 52 years of hearing it! & May I say, you Blondie are one beautiful woman indeed!!!!👍✌️

by the look of things you guys truly love CCR...love to see you do even more of their songs!!
No, Brad doesn't get it.
@@iamhudsdent2759 Yep .. Seen a lot of their CCR reactions now, and Brad looks like he thinks they're just OK, and he really has nothing much to say about them either way .. Lex meanwhile is dialled right into to them, and her reactions are a pure joy to watch.
I think Brad likes it to.
You know its incredible when Brad moves!!
Remember that this is a song that's fiftytwo years old. A true and timeless classic !
Bloody love you two
I've loved this song since I was a child, back in the mid 70s.
As a bored youngster around 1970 or so, I had nothing to do at a cousins' party but listen to a CCR album on the record player. I never forgot how I loved those songs.
Lex is the BEST...Don't ever change...The world needs use your spirit. You go right own girl.
Creedence NEVER disappoints!!
The funny thing is they’re from El Cerrito CA. Just on the other side of SF 🌉 off the Oakland Bay Bridge 🤷🏻♀️
They may have came from El Cerrito, but the were born with the souls from the Bayou.
John Fogerty once said that during the whole CCR period, he had never been to the Mississippi Delta, and had only been to New Orleans to play gigs, ie. land at the airport, drive to the hotel, rest, drive to the gig, play the gig, drive back to the hotel, sleep, drive to the airport to catch the plane to the next gig. He didn't actually explore the region for himself until decades later.
Yes, El Cerrito is right next to Berkeley (home of UC Berkeley). No doubt they were influenced by the many bands and artists that came to the Bay Area.
My favorite song is “Stuck in Lodi”. But I might be a little biased since I grew up in Lodi, CA. The inspiration for their song.😄😄😄
True, but they got that bayou sound down pat.
I don't think there's a soul on this planet that has a bad thing to say about CCR. Some cool cats😎 great albums. all there songs are great
I knew a guy in the Army back in 1973 who despised CCR...said Fogerty was not a good guitar player and they only sang about the rain.
Ok sorry! Anyone in there right mind has nothing bad to say about CCR😄
Oh! Also what's wrong with singing about the rain? CLEARWATER REVIVAL😉 Nothing would survive without rain.
Only a few former CCR members, their manager and their lawyers said bad things.
A musician friend of mine was familiar with the Ike and Tina Turner version of Proud Mary, but had not heard the original by CCR. When he heard it, he was appalled, and "that's barely competent!"
So...not EVERYONE likes CCR.
Love CCR! They have a Netflix special that is awesome and will show their personalities a little bit more!
Ha!!! Hey, Lex. Welcome to the club. Many, many millions of us have loved CCR for years. 💖
“It came out of the sky” is one of probably my favorite of all the songs I know from them
Well, I haven’t heard a bad song yet and I’m in my 60’s. If the songwriting isn’t there, you don’t have much.
In other words, John Fogerty is hands down one of the greatest singer/songwriter/musicians in our lifetime.
So many nice little turns of phrase in this.
It's basically folk poetry. I love it.
Lex you bring a smile to my face when you listen to classic rock!!!!!!!!
All I can say is that Lex has most excellent taste or maybe it is just that I agree that everything CCR did was great....
Another classic by CCR, one of those bands that just has so many.
I love your reactions to one of THE best bands of the 70s, where the music was the best ever, love 'em, especially Fogerty's voice.
That brought back memories when I was a kid. I remember this song when we would hang out at summer recreation.
He spent years living in my little Canadian town. Few knew he was here. Those who did... were really happy to have him and he wrote a few songs here too for his solo career.
When I was a kid in the 70s, my family would go camping by the river. Not just our family, but a group of friends and their families. We had a little community for a few days. The campsites were just beyond a bend in the road. So this was always my "going camping" song.
An unmistakable sound!
One of my favorites, captures the spirit of the day perfectly. Always puts me in mind of the mountains of East Tennessee in the 70s.
Gonna have to bookmark this for when I need cheering up, watching Lex bop along is too much fun!
My earliest music memory is my dad playing CCR on 8-track, with the tape "dragging" in spots because he'd listened to it so much. Loved them ever since. Thanks for the smile, y'all! Brad with the poker face and Lex the open book! I just discovered y'all's channel. Hitting "subscribe" now!
Finally happy music that's what we need right now
Probably my favorite song by them. That chorus is so epic
💯🔥
Mine also, just a kick ass song, gets the blood flowing for sure👍✌️
Real difficult to pick a favorite when all are so great.been a fan since 68.
This is a great song about what lies ahead and being excited to find out.
This song was one of the single releases from the "Cosmo's Factory" album, and led to that album being the very first LP I ever bought, shortly after receiving a record player for Christmas from my parents.

Brad hears the music, Lex feels the music!
Great song guys take care
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Green River" and "Susie Q"!!
Well, at least Lex will...LOL!
Yes I was going to recommend Susie Q but I would add it should be the 8 min album version.
@@hilarymiseroy3251 They won't do it...too long for their attention span...😥

Watching Lex is a pleasure--she really feels it. Such a great song. And Lex, I was a kid myself when this first came out, so I grew up with it.
CCR has a gazillion hits. Absolutely legendary band!
EVERY CCR song is GOLDEN + real ... a wonder to hear.
CCR became the Band of the Bayou because of their sound and style when in reality they are from El Cerrito just outside San Francisco.. I first heard them in 1969 and Up and Around the bend was my absolute favourite from this band... Nice lex...
I had this 45 RPM back in the day and Looking Out My Backdoor was on the other side.
Lex and I would get along famously. CCR is a lifetime favorite.

Bring back the 70s great bands great times great songs ,nothing compares these days
Anywhere, anytime, any mood I'm in... CCR always sounds great. Even Brad was bopping to this one!
My favorite CCR song. An up tempo banger. Great road trip song.
Brad and Lex thank u for all the smiles and laughs u give me daily much 💕 u r awesome beautiful people
I'm with Lex. CCR can do no wrong. I love every song, every note, and every beat.
Creedence are simply awesome. Great song after great song.
Lex, you get the vibe! Down home, bayou, craw fish, riverboat music. From down on the corner to up around the bend. Yaaaaaaah! Even the stoic Brad can't help smiling while this one is cranking!
Your joy makes me happy. THANK.YOU.
What a jam
Nothing gets Lex to her happy place quicker than a CCR rocker. Cheers!
Those opening licks are what caused many a young man to pick up a guitar in my day! One of the best riffs in all of rock!
all lyric videos should be like this. it gives you the lyric a split second before so you have time to process and sing along.
Sweet Hitchhiker,Someday never comes.
Have you ever seen the rain is a must listen!!!
There are a few songs that instantly bring a smile to my face and this is one of them, the second I hear that opening riff. Awesome song.
Back in the late 60’s. This is the song I knew most by CCR by. It was later in Vietnam war movies that their other songs really came to the forefront.
Was lucky enough to see John Fogerty in 2019 at the Bourbon and Beyond Festival in Louisville, Ky. He was one of the best acts of the weekend which included Foo Fighters, ZZ Top, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, Hall and Oates Joan Jett, just to name a few. Even my 17 year old son was impressed.

"Susie Q", "Run Through the Jungle", "Sweet Hitch Hiker", "Someday Never Comes", "Hey Tonight", "Commotion", "Long As I Can See The Light"

All great songs!
"Wrote a Song for Everyone," "Effigy," etc... you cant go wrong with CCR
Toss Tombstone Shadow on that list.
