Creedence

A final live performance by Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band Bad Moon Riders will wrap-up the weekend at 5:15 p.m.

There, Eightball - which is his real name - would often sit around campfires at night, singing and listening to Creedence Clearwater songs and other country music artists.

I studied the mathematics of his solos and scrutinized his reserved stage demeanor in old videos (in comparison with Fogerty’s later-day, energetic performances, Creedence concerts were a rather subdued affair).

Even then he saw the contrasts between the cheery, morning-in-America aesthetic of the conservative culture Reagan represented and the discontent that he felt at home, and that was soon reflected in Creedence’s music.

Suddenly, with a return to rock roots pervading the charts – Creedence Clearwater Revival at one end of the spectrum, Sha Na Na at the other – Richard was in demand again.

Fogerty plays his classic hits with Creedence Clearwater Revival, which match the set list from the band’s appearance at the original Woodstock.

It might feel like a bad moon rising for some fans to hear that Creedence Clearwater Revisited are calling it quits after 25 years.

They were surprisingly good for a local band, particularly the drummer, as they strummed through a playlist of ’60s hits from the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Creedence, etc.

Creedence lives on in through several movies about the Vietnam War, even though band members believe their songs were mistaken as anti-war anthems.

Granite State of Mind will present Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival at NEC Concord at 5:30 p.m. (doors at 5).

While driving and having a good ol’ time listening to some Creedence, smoking a J, and drinking a (fictional) Meichtry Draft beer, the Dude is distracted by a mysterious blue Volkswagen Beetle in his rear view mirror.

Other notable records the duo released were covers of Sly & the Family Stone 's " I Want To Take You Higher " and Creedence Clearwater Revival 's " Proud Mary ", and the Tina Turner -penned " Nutbush City Limits ".

The promoters had experienced difficulty landing big-name groups prior to Creedence committing to play.

While the Coens were writing the screenplay they had Kenny Rogers' "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was in)", the Gipsy Kings ' cover of " Hotel California ", and several Creedence Clearwater Revival songs in mind.
