Our Take

Ah, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the kings of swamp rock, the sultans of hoodoo magic, the bad boys of Bayou Country. Live At Filmore West - Close Night July 4. 1971 is a sizzling snapshot of the band at the height of their powers, captured in all their sweaty, visceral glory.

From the opening notes of "Born on the Bayou" to the raucous finale of "Fortunate Son," CCR deliver a masterclass in raw, unadulterated rock 'n' roll. John Fogerty's gritty vocals soar over Doug Clifford's thunderous drums, and Stu Cook's pulsing bass lines, while Tom Fogerty's blistering guitar work adds a fiery edge to every track.

Highlights include the blistering rendition of "Proud Mary," which sends shivers down the spine, and the hauntingly beautiful "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" which showcases the band's softer side. The energy and intensity of their performance is nothing short of electric, drawing you in and refusing to let go.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There are moments of imperfection and rawness that only add to the album's charm. The occasional missed note or off-beat drum fill only serves to remind us that this is a live recording, warts and all.

In conclusion, Live At Filmore West - Close Night July 4. 1971 is a must-listen for any CCR fan or lover of good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. Hell, even if you're not a fan, give it a spin. Who knows, you might just find yourself converted by the end of it.

About the artist

Creedence Clearwater Revival

In the pantheon of iconic American rock bands, few stand as tall and resilient as Creedence Clearwater Revival. Formed in 1967 in El Cerrito, California, CCR quickly rose to fame with their unique blend of swampy blues and rootsy rock. Led by the enigmatic frontman John Fogerty, the band embodied the rebellious spirit of the late 60s and early 70s. With hits like "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", and "Fortunate Son", Creedence Clearwater Revival achieved tremendous success both critically and commercially. Their music was a rallying cry for a generation disillusioned with the Vietnam War and social unrest, yet somehow managed to make you want to dance at the same time. Fogerty's soulful voice and blistering guitar work were complemented by the tight rhythm section of Stu Cook on bass and Doug Clifford on drums, as well as the skillful piano playing of John's brother, Tom Fogerty. Together, they created a sound that was raw, gritty, and undeniably catchy. Despite internal conflicts and the band's breakup in 1972, Creedence Clearwater Revival's music continues to resonate with listeners of all ages. Their songs have been covered by countless artists and remain staples of classic rock radio playlists to this day. So whether you're a die-hard CCR fan or just discovering their music for the first time, one thing is for sure - the timeless appeal of Creedence Clearwater Revival is as undeniable as John Fogerty's penchant for writing a killer hook. Dive into their discography, and get ready to be transported to a time when rock 'n' roll reigned supreme.
