Who'll Stop The Rain- Cosmo's Factory/Fogerty's Factory 

He tells it at every show before going into the song

I wish I could have seen them live

@@rockahollic7691 John is touring with a crackerjack band....have seen him twice at S Florida Fairgrounds in past 2 years...lots of energy and some great jams...Kenny Aronoff brings great prescence behind the kit !

Sure!!!

That’s what I was like bro😂😂

Amen to that!

Amen Johnny, amen✌️

He tells a different story than has been heard before about the Dead. They may have been tripping, but their equipment was wet and not properly grounded. They were getting shocked touching their instruments.

Yeah, it was and still is! John Fogerty couldn't have stay pissed off forever at The Grateful Dead - he did, after all, show up for the Jerry Garcia memorial in Golden Gate Park the weekend after Jerry passed away. I remember Bob Weir introduced him onto the stage. That event was one of the largest public events ever held in G.G. Park and there were no arrests made. No one got rowdy, stupid, too obnoxious; it was all about honoring the memory of The Grateful Dead's frontman. And John Fogerty was part of that too.

Lol, and John's teenage grand-daughter (daughter?) makes such a face of not digging Papa's old 60s rock stories, which is NUTTTS... but maybe that's what happens when every morning you eat breakfast with the FRIGGIN FRONTMAN OF CCR!!!

❤

CCR = John Fogerty (His band was a failure)

Awesome SOUNDS!

Maybe once in eternity,,,IMHO

Actually, we all only come around once

Makes me think of my draft physical.

AMEN TO DAT

Nice.

fantastic, Jeremy!

Superb comment !

Jeremy Miller!! WELL SAID!!

@AL GORITHM I was there to AL.

I would have been one of the older boys I suppose, because my first three live concerts I went to was Chuck Berry, Hendrix and the Doors. Hendrix got arrested that afternoon at Toronto airport for possession of drugs, and they held him until the show that night, and with the crowd already at Maple Leaf Gardens waiting, he shows up with the band and tells the crowd “ I guess you all heard what happened today, well lets just have a good time tonight “, and he breaks into Purple Haze. It was a great time for music for sure.

You are so happy 😊

My first concert was Dec. 28th 1969. Miami Rock Festival . I got there between acts so I got to see full sets by Santana then The Band and part of a set by Coldblood. It was a great experience I was 15 years old. When I got back home a week later Wilmington N.C. I raved about how great those bands were and nobody I knew had heard of them yet. The Band was getting airplay for Up on Cripple Creek.

I feel old I was in my first year of high school

@@HamiltonRb ,❤️

No way you lucky man

lucky man 😯

Please would you change place with me, you get this rap, kizomba, shit in exchange..CCR and JOhn are legends, i would be so glad to live next door to a legend!!

Lucky neighbor.

I was just thinking this before I saw your message. Wow how awesome would it be, to be John's neighbor 👍👍👍👍

I really doubt most people were sleeping. Right, like your LSD stops working at, "bed time"

Maybe I’m wrong. But I thought I read in his biography he said that song was written about how he felt about his band mates and there infighting between themselves

@@tootellustraight i heard him say that too. It was about the rain etc. Alot of people thought it was about vietnam but not true. All about woodstocj

@@lastnamefirst4035 you can sleep on cleaner LSD

Yes

I noticed the change in his voice just in the last year or two. I think he's 78 so, not so bad.

lol the dude sounds nothing similar

Nice to keep your hair isn't it. And for it not to go grey, and to stay slim.

He doesn't have the rasp anymore, but he hasn't lost his range. Singing how he did as a young man should've destroyed his range, but it didn't.

You’re an idiot.

A lot of trauma though that he got dragged through though. He deserves all his royalties and then some

yeah man the record label screwed him over

John never lost a damn thing. There's a reason why CCR only lasted for 6 or 7 years. I read the rest of the band's story and watched them all getting interviewed including John's younger brother Tom who was the drummer for the band. After 6 or 7 years as CCR the rest of the band including Tom Fogerty went to John and asked him to allow them to start taking more of an active role in the band including writing songs. Tom said John responded, "no...this is my band and I write all the songs and lyrics...not you guys...you just play the music I write." If John hadn't been such an egomaniac and had allowed them to play more of an active role CCR would have easily lasted for many many more years. John Fogerty is certainly a gem when it comes to playing some of the best classic rock ever. It's just a damn shame he had to be such an asshole to the rest of the band many years ago.

@@lazn9863 John screwed the band over!! You've got it completely backwards...

Tom was the older brother and played rhythm guitar. John took over the band. I am sure it was complicated. There was an article recently in the WSJ about the conflicts. They never worked it out. He wished they had.

So what,that's show biz.

I wonder if they realize how lucky they are to have a dad like John. I would listen to his stories every day. My father was a no good alcoholic.

:D :D

Both my parents were musicians, mom-jazz piano/Hammond B3 organ dad-R&B rhythm guitar and bass I started playing at 4 on the viola and then the trombone, then the French horn. Then piano and got an electric bass at 15, settled on it for awhile before finding the flute! I'll play just about anything that you put in my hands, that's one of the amazing gifts you get from being raised by musicians! That and these kinds of stories! I've heard a ton of weird and wild ones, nothing quite as awesome as Woodstock tales, but there was good stuff to live through as well!!! Just like these kids who have met and hung out with SOOOOOO many incredible people, I would be babysat by the Ohio players and hanging out with a few from Parliament Funkadelic, and when you're only 5 or 6, this is just normal stuff, you don't understand how great it is until you get older and see how much folks go crazy for certain people, then you realize how lucky you are to have been around things like that your whole life! Stuff like that shapes you and what you do, how you view the world, the paths one might take. It's what leads to someone like Patty Mahomes!!!!! Tiger Woods!!! You grow up around greatness, it's just a normal thing, it enables you to be great yourself cause you know that they're just regular people! You have a better knowledge of the fact that anyone can be great if you focus and make different choices. It don't hurt to have parents who can make a phone call to producers or scouts, parents who can basically snap their fingers and put you in the spotlight to start a career!!! LOL. I LOVE a Canadian band called Walk Off The Earth, they make music vids at home where most of the band lives, surrounded by children! You just KNOW those kids are gonna be musicians, constantly around fun and music and any and EVERY instrument you can imagine! Music is supposed to touch your heart and change lives, that's why we love it so much! Music is way more powerful than people know, its likely the best thing humanity has done thus far! The only thing we can be proud of if we meet an alien lifeform, they just may laugh at the rest......

Maybe so but hey bet they are proud. Still rocks. ❤️

Steve Johnson your son is smart! I’m 18 and absolutely love CCR to, they’re amazing!

I was surprised to find out my 22 year old son loves them too.

I did that to my dad when I was 16 too. We were riding around after I got my license and CCR came on from my iPod and he looked at me like "what?" Later that day we went to a Hastings and he bought me John's Premonition live album. We bonded over music a lot more after that.

Good parenting, Steve!

really? no influence?

I wonder if any of the kids are performing professionally?

I can only guess these are his kids... He has toured with Shane and Tyler before the two men in video.

@@MSDOGS1976 They are in fact our, he has three sons that currently tour with him and they have a band themselves that are the opening band for his concerts. I saw him and his kids last summer in Canfield, Ohio…look it up,

Those are his sons and daughter. I don't know who the chick with the soap bubbles is but maybe it's his wife. I thought she was blonde though.

@@cockeyedoptimista she's too young to be his wife

Born in 1977 here, CCR had top-notch stuff. Cosmo's Factory was awesome!

Well said. No One.

Well I like CCR and GD and GD and company also.

I know you were right I feel the same way

Yes but the Revival atleast not the Revisited

i had a vw micro bus like that...the original 50s/ 60s model. if i live long enough i will do it again.

volker allert I have a friend who lives in NYC who still drives one!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you sir. And a nice present from your son

I am waiting to see JF next months in Vancouver . Hope I’ll have your feeling since I’ve been waiting for 52 years

@@eddiekwok2079 He is worth the wait EDDIE. Enjoy.

Blessings to you and your family. If you know of anyone who is going through a lot of stress please check out antidote for all on RU-vid

he ain't heavy he's my brother. much love to all.

Thanks for your love and support towards me.... Linda 💓💓

Agreed.

@@johnfogerty4662 John is the man. I tell you when I heard the opening Born on the Bayou, I just went nuts despite the fact you didn't think it was up to snuff. I saw so disappointed when none of the CCR was on the soundtrack, but I was there and at least had it in my head. Thanks for music! Please consider releasing it one day before we go!

You are my fav singer since those "RAIN" songs years.and now I'm 67 and still listening to CCR songs. Keep on rockin' John ! *From Malaysia.

We’ll said, my friend…

agree

This man is for real there ain't nothing fake about him

Who else has kept their voice? He is amazing. (but, no one: Sting? McCartney? nope.)

@@bartcrawford8462 jagger

@@johnscialfa7391 yes...but he was smart enough to just sing in a lower register! (;

Ok

Yeah what are they going to say ? We don't want to hear about why you are legendary ?

Yeah, I'm 72...never understood the Deadhead thing. Outside of "Truckin," thought their stuff was boring.

I was a CCR fan too. Their music brings back great childhood memories.

I am 30 and I grew up with his music. When I have a bad day, I put on CCR and feel so much better

They are alright riding that train... Fogerty was my Dads favourite though so I heard lots of it as a kid I think it's better but the festival express is worth a viewing too. John is a total legend so glad I can brag I have seen him play live.

Thats all we need to live my man

indeed

@@bernardopiaiazilio5002 I lived through that time and music. I'm 75 and miss it so much and I'm just thankful for RU-vid for allowing it to be listen to. Like you said, "That's all we need to live my man". Take care, be safe

CCR como te vamos a olvidar as sido la alegría de millones de jóvenes y viejos los sigo escuchando desde 1969 tengo 78 años 😍 espero escucharlos muchos años más✌✌✌😁

Obi Baddad well as the saying goes if you can remember the sixties, you weren’t there

John Lawrence John fogerty remembers?

Me too,I remember I couldn't find my pants.

Good on ya!

You will not regret it. The guy is friggin fantastic.

Count me in!!

One of the greatest, right up there with Paul Simons and Bob Dylan.

Good memories

His eldest son has toured with him for a few years now. The other has on and off.

STFU

You and me both!

and the grand kids today STILL listen to it.

Old Hippie; “Keep on chooglin’!”

OF ALL Time!? GTFO

Old Hippie Best bloody music ever mate. ☮️

Then I realized those are his kids.

Fortunate sons, and daughter.

colemann76 I know right. Not one grey hair.

Yeah riiight. Been hitting the bottle. (Of dye)

Wow...he really has.

Stalin's Five year plans and FDR's New Deals

And those lyrics are more relevant now than ever.

Yes it is 👍👍👍👍👍💯

Most likely grandchildren.......

webman1956 Nope, his two sons and daughter

The Beatles were another planet obviously, but CCR was, is, will be my passion forever. My young years roared with the mighty John's voice, my old years defend theirselves seeing John still here with me and you.

Grandchildren

John Boucher His own kids, see the drop down notes!

Just back from the Dawn Service here in Macau and was thinking the same.

Lest We Forget🌹

Lest We Forget ✨🇦🇺💛

I was 16 in 1969 and grew up listening to CCR. "Fortunate Son" from "Willy and the Poor Boys" became a powerful anti-war song of that era. Conscription ended just before I turned 18 and so I was spared the horrors of Vietnam and I didn't have serve as my father and grandfather did. I remember them both on ANZAC day. Thanks John. Lest we Forget.🇦🇺

I didn't hit my teenage years until 1990, and Cosmo's Factory was just awesome! Love CCR :)

Whenever I listen to classic music especially CCR, it brings me joy. My dad always play classics and I adopted it too. I just love the sounds of instruments such as guitar.

I'm 67, I get you!!

I am 70 and from 1969 have played all cd's whist driving at full blast for many a year. Foot used flatten the pedal like a maniac. Roads in South Africa go on for days. Used to make holiday trips seem short as.

You said it brother. Like a time machine. What memories.

LOL

totally

"Yes, dad. You went to Woodstock and played to one guy out of half a million. We know!"

That "Blonde" is Kelsey, his daughter from 2nd marriage with his current wife Julie. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kTu2wNPp3E8.html

She is thinking: Dad shut the F up, you boomer. haha .. respect everyone,,,we will get through these times

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘

Glad to hear, good luck.

Amen. Same here

Thanks 💝
