Have you ever seen the rain. Creedence Clearwater Revival cover by Phil McGarrick. FREE BT & TABS

Both the Backing Track & Tabs are FREE to download from my website here :-
philmcgarrick.co.uk/dbo_links...
Creedence Clearwater Revival , also referred to as Creedence and CCR, was an American rock band which recorded and performed from 1968 to 1972.
The band initially consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty; his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty; bassist Stu Cook; and drummer Doug Clifford.
"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is a song written by John Fogerty and released as a single in 1971 from the album Pendulum (1970) The song charted highest in Canada, reaching number 1 on the RPM 100 national singles chart in March 1971. In the U.S., in the same year it peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
My Guitar cover was a request for Alex Cisneros in Texas (Hope you like it Alex)
It’s based on The Live full Orchestral version that John Fogerty performed at the Night of the Proms Belgium/Netherlands in 2010.
My son Andrew put the BT together using some of the atmosphere from that live concert.
(I haven’t really got an audience clapping in my living room Lol) !
Played on my Alan Brason custom Stratocaster with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on bridge position through an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP (Echoes from the past) Patch 1-68 (Classic Twang)
Sound recorded in Cubase SX 6 and edited with the three 4K Video takes in Sony Vegas pro 14.
Lyrics
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time
Till forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah!
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Querido amigo Phil, gracias siempre por tus hermosos vídeos y, ahora con esta canción que me encanta, me gusta mucho la versión original de Creedence Clearwater como la interpretada por Rod Stewart. Ahora casi a la medianoche realmente es un excelente momento para escucharla y sonreír sintiendo tu mágica guitarra y tu súper buena energía. Un gran abrazo querido amigo y buenas noches desde el Norte de Ecuador. Cuídate mucho siempre por favor.

[@random275]

Good to hear from you Diego and glad you know Rod Stewart recorded this on as well. Both are greaty versions :-) Many thanks for your good comments ! Always appreciated.. Phil

Great cover Phil, Creedance produced some great songs, great instrumental and backing track, cheers Pete

[@random275]

Hi Pete yes the first one I've covered by them - very pleased you liked it.. Cheers Phil

[@alansturgess1324]

Great instrumental interpretation, Phil. Very lively and energetic, just as it needs to be. One of the first CCR songs I heard as an instrumental - long before I knew who CCR were or hadeven heard their recording, was 'Susie Q' played by Lonnie Mack. I was fortunate to eventually see him play at the Colne Blues Festival in Lancashire where, in a different year, I was equally fortunate to See Peter Green and the Splinter Group just after he had emerged from his long period as a recluse. He tried 'Green Manalishi' but went wrong. The audience reaction was amazing - everyone stood up and applauded or cheered. Peter literally moved back into the shadows on stage but you could see that he had been moved by the audience support. At that time he was still very insecure and spoke with a very unclear mumble. It has been great top hear him become a great interpreter of Robert Johnson in recent years. As for 'Susie Q', it's a tune I've often tried but then I listen again to Lonnie's version and decide that maybe I'm still too much of a Bert and Hank fan to get close to that level of fierce playing. Thanks for this upload - it really lifted my day. 🌈👍🧡🥰

[@random275]

Many thanks for your good comments Alan ! - It sounds like you have had quite an interesting musical background and know your stuff. I think of this song a bit like Hey Jude where the audience just want to join in singing the simple melody. It was a fun one to play to a "Live" BT audience. Lol All the best.. Phil

[@carlarl1082]

Great!! I love that music, you always make a great job, thank you! Have an excellent weekend

Good Morning/Afternoon Phil, it was good to hear the instrumental version of a very popular song of the yore. It was absolutely a rockon performance and the tone of the fender simply awesome. What can I say about the rain I've seen a lot of it off late but was good to hear the song after ages with nostalgia creeping in. Thanks for reminding about the good old days. Have a happy safe and fabulous weekend and also keep smiling. Bye, I will see you soon.
