Creedence Clearwater Revival: The Golden Era (FULL MOVIE) 

Best American band of all time

Credence deserves a much better documentary.. one of the best bands in music history

I've loved CCR since 1968. I heard them the first time in December when I was 13 y/o. Still the greatest R&R band in my opinion.

"Proud Mary" is one of the first rock songs I heard as a child. I recently heard it on the radio and now I'm falling down the CCR rabbithole

Wow!!! John Forgerty wrote so many songs, didn't know he had credit in writing the wall for Pink Floyd and Whole lotta love for Led Zeapelin as well. What a talent!!!

I came here looking for a history of CCR and found a horror movie about British dentistry.

My brother n three high school pals formed a tribute band in the summer of 68, playing gigs in a small seaside resort n as a13 year old always tagged along loved the sound of Proud Mary n Bad Moon Rising. CCR was n still is in my blood glad I was part of that genre, play their music regularly to this day

The real ccr-band in later years are the CCRievisited, they were really killing it! Love The original groove!❤️

They were around for such a short time, but their music feels like it was with us for decades! John Fogerty was simply amazing!

One of the greatest rock bands to come from California 😎😎😎😎

John gave up his Rights to the music they made as CCR just to get out from underneath the management team. He was even sued after he left for making music that sounded like himself. That’s unbelievable. Can you imagine being sued for sounding like yourself. He wasn’t the bad guy in all this

I remember when I was just a little kid, my father had bought this 68 falcon with a 6cyl. The car was rusty, smelled like something that was at the original Woodstock. One of the best things it had for it was a cassette player. We had 2 cassettes. One was CCR's greatest hits. Every time I was in that car that tape played. Music that's truly one of a kind. CCR deserves more love. Every song was a story. We don't have much of that today. 🤘

there was a Credence show broadcast live on Channel 2 in Oakland in 1971. Only saw it once back then. It was an excellent show.

Watching CCR music videos in early 70's from Hong Kong. CCR reached the world.

One of the funniest things I ever heard, when I was in Vietnam, was a Vietnamese band playing Proud Mary and it came out rollin on a reefer

Best Rock band in history.

Nice to also get a chance to meet the inventor of “Billy Bob Teeth.” What an honor!

Why are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin covers playing in the background, instead of CCR?

I don’t care what people say about this, growing up listening to them on the radio, buying all there albums and being my favorite band , knowing all the words, playing there music over and over and over again , loving all the songs on every album and to have grown up in the 70s was a amazing experience, honor and a frickin blast!!!! Music, cars , and of course the bands that played the music will never be anything again !!! Still one of my favorites. Thank you for this. It was great . Thank you for the memories 🤘🙏

I love CCR so much I can't stand this documentary....

I wouldn't trust a word they said without double checking.

I saw John fogerty and John mellincamp in concert in Virginia Beach. Fogerty did all the old CCR tunes and couger was excellent. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.!!!

Great documentary. Thanks for sharing. Love CCR, love documentaries. ❤❤

Greatest band ever!

There's no point in making a documentary about a classic rock band if you can't negotiate rights to play clips of their hits

How does a guy narrate a documentary about CCR, with all the work/time put into this, and not know how to pronounce the word Fogerty?

I love CCR. If you do too, I'd advise you to give this a very wide berth.

I was a teenager in the 1960's and I grew up on CCR in the 1960's and loved their music then and now. I appreciated this documentary. However I wished they didn't play other bands music in the background throughout it as confusing and distracting. Also they could of reduced the frequency of cutting in with a comment every minute, however I am eternally grateful for this documentary. Long live CCR music. I did learn much more or how important they were from this documentary. Just a side note that their music is meant to be played really F___ing LOUD. LOL!

This feels like a meeting at Narcotics Anonymous

I loved their music. I was around 14 when they came to Seattle but my parents wouldn't let me go see them. I was soooo pissed. What is really funny and weird a few months after that my parents finally let me go to my first concert. So if they were worried about me seeing CCR and let me go to see Frank Zappa.. Well, they couldn't be more different.. LOL.. Instead of proud mary I got to listen to "Don't eat the yellow snow".... hehehe It was still a good show but I liked my next one better when I got to see "Ten Years After"... Man that was a great one... I still wish I could have seen CCR though, I got all their albums and listen to them now and then when the mood fits.... What was great about CCR is pretty much every song was a good one. I could listen to the whole album and not find a song that was bad.. That is a rare talent that few other bands can do..

¡THE BEST BAND! Gracias por subtitularlo

Su música a perdurado hasta la fecha.

I never thought of creedence as a "southern rock" band. I'd say they're more like the beginning of Americana if you're going to categorize. Or just plain rock and roll. I remember when Fogerty released Centerfield and MTV played the "Old Man Down the Road" video. This was smack in the middle of the New Wave/Punk scene that buried a lot of talented bands from that era, but Fogerty's writing, playing and singing cut right through all that bullshit and reminded us what rock and roll was all about. A simple rock and roll song with killer guitar tone, killer licks and a solid rhythm driving it cannot be beat by all the synthesizers, drum tracks and angst-ridden adolescent vocalists from London to New York. John Fogerty proved to me and a lot of other musicians I know in that moment that we didn't spend all this time learning to play to be taken out by some knucklehead who doesn't know his guitar is out of tune and likes to spit on his audience. It was a breath of fresh, clean, pure oxygen that came out of nowhere and I thank John Fogerty for that on top of all his contributions to music.

1970 - 2020 Celebrating 5 0 years of the album........ COSMO'S FACTORY🎸- THE GREATEST STUDIO RECORDED ALBUM IN ROCKNROLL HISTORY.

i never knew nosferatu knew so much about ccr

California is a great place to be in the 1960s.and 170s....Rock and Roll everywhere!!!...The Beatles CCR The Beach Boys and Santana!!! Forever

I wanted to watch a documentary about one of the biggest rock bands in history. All I got was a look into the big book of british smiles.

I Heard It Thru The Grapevine. One of the best versions ever. But since its over 11 minutes it never gets played on de radio. In fact I've yet to hear it on a radio station. Playing it at home I've got my Air Guitar out & away I go.. CCR does not have a lot of live performances on tape sadly. Count it on one hand. Beatles are much the same, in fact in the 60s tapes were wiped after shown especially here in the UK. Tragic in a music way, still it makes the memories stronger when tracks are played. The Albert Hall at least was a good concert tho on the short side.

How can you do a documentary about how great CCR are as a band without playing any of their music? What's the point?

FOE -GER - TEE.

When discussing John Forgerty's Army Reserve service, showing movies of U.S. Marine combat troops in Vietnam is a little misleading since he was a supply clerk who never left the U.S. I guess you could say, he was a, "Fortunate Son".

Christ what a tiresome doco for a great band.

Fucking love ccr listen to them everyday!

Masterpiece Music!

that guy with the teeth should have been cast in a supporting role in the austin powers movies

I made it about 20 minutes in before the bald guy trying to talk around a mouthful of spit drove me away.

To make you stop watching like this!!!!

The bald guy should say it not spray it lol he'd make a good shoe shine boy 😆

Man John Forgety is an absolute genius… the man was a hit factory. It seams that these musical geniuses are always control freaks and perfectionists guess that’s how they get the results…. Guess it’s hard for the others in the band to put their egos aside and step back to bask in the genius of one individual.

Can't believe this is the best we can do for this one of a kind band...

Im from the 80s before i got into new wave i was in the marines.i always think of ccr when watching vietnam movies.always.

I saw Creedence 3 times,l am a Creedence record collector,l wrote 3 biograpy book.l Hope to see CCR all together,One more time.but Is difficult,great band

Now I want to go to the dentist!

These days the kids write with drum loops and sing softly in to their laptops about their hurt feelings.

One of the best bands ever !

I like this documentary, but I swear every time the narrator said Fogerty, I died inside. I mean, did you hear how he pronounced Lodi! Not trying to be mean, it just really bothered me.

Greatest bands! You could have replaced the other three with anyone, John irreplaceable

I'm really blown away they only sold 25 million in the states I don't think its possible possible not like at least one ccr song I know 25 million is a lot but this is ccr who is considered one of the greatest of all time I personally like them better then the Beatles 25 million seems low for a band that has at least 10 of the greatest rock songs of all times someone explain that to me

I heard the other 3 band members songs that they had individually written n sang n no, John's older bro Tom didn't have a better singing voice than John, it was John Fogerty's gift n talent in writing the songs n singing that had made CCR as great as they had become. Honestly, I really couldn't blame John for feeling the way he did when they were inducted into the Rock n Roll music Hall of Fame, especially when they all had sued him bc of their greed for money, John had said that all he had wanted was to play n sing music. John felt that hey were done wrong by a certain person who had come between he n his bro Tom, who had turned his back on John until the day that he had passed, which had broken John's heart. I'll always love John's music, his voice was/is so unique, he had made CCR successful. I've loved CCR's music ever since I was a lil girl in late 60's, early 70's to presently.

A music documentary without any music

Possibly the worst documentary about a great rock band I have ever watched.

The Pink Floyd and Zeppelin rifs drove me nuts.

I saw Fogerty in a live performance. Fabulous! Great singer, astounding guitarist, tremendous composer. One of rock's true icons. PROUD MARY and FORTUNATE ONE are classics, but UP AROUND THE BEND brings audiences to their feet.

You all need to redo this documentary. Too much talking and not enough on focusing on their incredible music!

At 4 mins when he says Fogerty for the first time i know he hasn't a clue what he's talking about.

Vietnam war footage passed as ww2...ah those helicopters didn't exist at that time.

You would think that they could have gotten a guy to narrate this documentary who knew how to pronounce FOGERTY!!

Somebody get that guy some dentures

If it wasn't for John Fogerty , they would have never gotten away from being a tavern band ..

A lackluster documentary, too much repetition of same photographs and lack film footage. Struck me as a bit of a budget documentary and had to force myself to watch it all the to its completion. Whats with the interview commentaries by two English chaps, why oh why ????? Overall I felt it did the history of CCR no great favors. This is just my personal take on it and how it made me feel.

I grew up on these guys

Was this produced by Saul Zaentz?

MARDIS GRAS is a GREAT "ROCK and ROLL" album... critics want to control the audience... this was a documentary of opinion by critics...

Is there a shortage of dentists in Britain?

I like when they are talking about the year 1969 and they are playing Run like hell by Pink Floyd. That song came out in 1979. Blimey!

this is a good doc, and as funny as spinal tap lol

Juntos chegaram ao ápice do sucesso inimaginável, separados, mesmo o John, não chegaram alcançar a metade do sucesso do conjuntoC CCR., é lastimável que não continuaram juntos, que não superaram as diferenças, etc. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.

The interviewees were chosen not only for their knowledge and insight but for their interesting teeth.

What a rocker, what a frontman, what a singer, what a writer, what a wordsmith what a storyteller my distant cousin John Foggery is. Creedence Clearwater Revival one of the very greatest band along with the might Thin Lizzy to play on the stage of Gods green earth.

Had a CCR tribute band play for my 21st bday

The background music is preposterous. It defiles everything that's holy.

They showed Arthur Brown when talking about the Grateful Dead!

A great band, yes. A band I like very much, yes. But some of the things in this I think are a bit overstated.

awesome documentary love CCR and John Fogerty

audio is turned up all the way on my laptop and i can barely hear it

Malcolm Dome looks like Mr Barlow from Salem's Lot.

these guys who speak with authority do not know what they are talking about but they do reflect what everyone thought during that era because no one of that era knew what they were talking about

I Heard it Through the Grapevine, best version outside Tamla Motown.

Im going to be the first dentist in the UK

Seriously? Vietnam war footage to represent WWII? Dear god, the producers of this need to find another gig........

Very interesting. 'Fortunate Son" was about David Eisenhower! His marriage to Tricia Nixon was BIG news at the time.

A great documentary!This shows you that ORIGINALITY is derived from a combination of souls making music.. This is the true recipe for musical originality.. The individual contribution to the collective assembly of the sonic soundscape is paramount .. You hear it and feel it when a collective creates great music as opposed to an individual musical creation... there is always an alpha, but without the creative collective ,you end up with a lesser product.

When they discuss where the band members went to high school, they show UCLA images. And Alice Cooper 34:07 didn't play at Woodstock.

Can't we hear their music ! ?

They helped define if not created a Genre

my second lp ever purchased was Cosmo ' s Factory

He says that Suzy Q was the only hit CCR had that John Fogarty didn't write, but what about Midnight Special? I don't think he wrote that. But whatever. I think John Fogarty is one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Why am i hearing covers of "Whole Lotta Love" and "Comfortably Numb" instead of songs like "Door To Door", "Green River", or "Proud Mary"?

John told Doug and Stu the night before the ceremony that he would not perform with them that night. So they knew that they wouldn't be on the stage with John.

My Son Thomas did spot light for John fogerty at Red Rocks amphitheater, in Colorado.
