But our parents remember the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of JFK, MLK, the Vietnam War, the Draft, and all those boys who never came home... So I reckon it's how we perceive things.

Well from what I know he has a bit of an ego and that caused his brother to quit the band and eventually caused the remaining three members to have a terrible breakup and refuse to work together ever again. He got into many arguments with the other members and was very controlling. For example woodstock he refused to let them put their set in the film because he thought their performance was subpar. This upset Stu Cook the bassist and that is just one example. John also refused to play with the band when they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. He is a talented prick.

[@forkymental5154]

@@quickpawmaud That's not exactly true: ultimateclassicrock.com/creedence-clearwater-revival-break-up/. Without John Fogerty that band would've went nowhere. He was the band, the others were just there. He sang lead, played lead guitar, and he was the songwriter. He wasn't stupid. He knew that it had to stay that way for the band to remain successful. From the article: Lead singer, principal songwriter, guitarist and frontman John Fogerty had always played a dominant role in the group, and as time went on his bandmates - brother and guitarist Tom Fogerty, drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford and bassist Stu Cook - pushed for more of a voice in the band's music and business decisions. Tom Fogerty finally departed the band in 1971, and for the group's next album, John Fogerty told his remaining bandmates that if they wanted more input, then each member would contribute their own songs, on which he would only play rhythm guitar. The result was Mardi Gras, released in 1972 to a resounding critical drubbing. Rolling Stone critic Jon Landau called it "the worst album I have ever heard from a major rock band," and though the album was still relatively commercially successful, it did not sell as well as previous efforts. Fogerty had also become involved in a series of disputes with CCR's record label, Fantasy Records, over what he thought were unfair contracts, and on Oct. 16, 1972 the group announced their breakup. The other members also left him alone in the fight against that record label, which caused him a lot of trouble while starting his solo career. That's the reason he refused to play with them at the Hall of Fame ceremony, and I can't blaming him for choosing not to. So that's the reason why the others have pretty much been a CCR tribute band over the last 35 to 40 years, and why Fogerty went on to have a successful solo career. He gave them a chance to contribute their own music, and that music wasn't up to snuff. That's the same sort of thing that happened with The Eagles back when they first broke up as well.

[@tonyhinojosa7710]

Forky Mental, John might have been the brains of the band, but without them he would be nothing. The only reason anyone in the audience gave a shit about him playing solo is because they remember growing up with CCR. If he was still a washed up musician, playing in bars, having never played with CCR no one would give a shit about him even if he was playing the same memorable songs.

[@forkymental5154]

@@tonyhinojosa7710 It was the name of the band that mattered. If John could have fired all of the bands original members and hire new ones, then things wouldn't have changed. Nobody would've noticed.

When I was driving over the Stewart Cassiar Highway at night because I really wanted to reach the Kinaskan Lake campground, a big grizzly bear suddenly lay 10 meters next to me in the grass and looked after me with interest ... at that moment I was mine Heart slipped in the pants. You can imagine that! I just looked ahead to get ahead and when I finally reached the lake on this full moon night your song came to my mind; long as i can see the light. Please excuse my limited knowledge of english. John Fogerty, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and best regards from Germany! Klaus Lüttgen rocktheroads.de

We were ready to rock out and we waited and waited and finally it was our turn ... there were a half million people asleep. These people were out. It was sort of like a painting of a Dante scene, just bodies from hell, all intertwined and asleep, covered with mud. And this is the moment I will never forget as long as I live: A quarter mile away in the darkness, on the other edge of this bowl, there was some guy flicking his Bic, and in the night I hear, "Don't worry about it, John. We're with you." I played the rest of the show for that guy. -John Fog recalling Creedence Clearwater Revival's 3:30 a.m. start time at Woodstock

[@romainlavoie1526]

Without question, John was one of the best lyricists in the history of music 🎶 The melodies he wrote will forever be with us. God bless ❤

[@janellestuckey8477]

He picked that guitar up and immediately made magic. Years of experience along with a gift from God to play like that.

You can see Conan instantly get emotional when he realizes what he's playing

[@maremacd]

I’m a year younger than Conan. This was music we heard as young kids, music our older siblings played. To be honest, it makes me feel old. I hate getting old.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

@@maremacd - I have to agree; Oscar Wilde said that "Youth is wasted on the young." The problem is in our culture, I think. It's that saying, "old and decrepit." I think you'll agree, being old is kinda cool, the stuff we've seen will never come again. The problem is that other word...and as we get older, our bodies get less strong and pretty. Old is not so bad, it's the decrepit part that sucks. Fortune passes everywhere.

[@gund2281]

John is just an absolutely timeless voice. There's likely not a human on the planet who doesn't know at least one of his songs.

[@EinMagillaGorilla]

Not old enough to have seen CCR in concert but have seen John twice in concert. Legend.

[@dougsmith2658]

CCR never seemed to get the credit of so many. But they so legend

[@ARGbass86]

They are in the hall of fame so I guess they beat it!!!

[@ChuckyWiggins]

My favorite part is around 39 seconds when Conan is so excited he doesn’t know what to do with his arms. You can tell he loves CCR and this was an great experience for him.

[@alexmad9377]

No auto tune needed. Wow A Timeless classic. Thank you for uploading this.

[@Deluca-Piano]

Damn, John Fogerty still sounds amazing! This man is an American legend.

[@heidithomas5455]

Vietnam was the worst war ever. I lost a lot of friends, even though those friends came back, they were never really a part of life anymore, but ccr made it a little better. At least when ccr played and we sang along it felt like old times just for those brief moments. To all the vets, from every war, thank you for your service.

[@shanebriggs1039]

Wonderful musician, sad to think Have You Ever Seen The Rain is about CCR breaking up as a band!! John thankyou for making a difference in our lives, your music will always be a part of us

[@josephwest6413]

Gawd, that is beautiful. The emotions it generates feel so good. Reading his interviews, he seems to have some kind of authentic approach to life. Not perfect. Emotional. Accepting. Acting, without necessarily being logical. But he does seem like a very good person. He pours emotions into his songs, and lets it rip.

[@TheNewMexicoMan]

Auto-tuned singers these days would never do this impromptu singing! John Fogerty is a legend!

[@SuperCyril2]

90% of singers today....can't sing. They suck. Old school rap was awesome. Today's rap is trash. Taylor Swift is probably the best singer today. She actually has talent.

As a kid my weekends were at my dads house. He played CCR non stop and drank beer. I never had so much fun. I miss you dad RIP x

Too f..king cool. Lucky people in the audience that day

[@alliancer87]

When I first heard bad moon rising in American werewolf in London the song blew me away. Then my uncle let me borrow a ccr tape. Ccr has been my favorite band ever since. John is a living legend.

[@juno4494]

I saw him live about 4 months ago. When I closed my eyes, I could have sworn it was 1969 again. He sounds that good, still, even better than he does here. No joke. Go see his current tour if you can manage it. You won't regret it.

[@SoCal780]

THAT, folks, is a musical LEGEND right there…

[@LeonardoDeVinci1452]

No auto-tune here just pure voice what a legend

[@mmates007]

Vastly underrated in the 60s....this music will stand the test of time.

Matthew Mates I’m pretty sure it was a number 2 hit. They have a world record for most #2 hits without ever reaching a number one

[@jezuzfreek777]

I choked back tears the moment he strummed the guitar. FFS what a song.

[@petertrout8140]

I saw CCR with the Sir Douglas Quintet, in about 1969 (?) at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and it was GREAT. I wore a Nero collared waiter jacket that we bought from the Queen Mary when it ported in Long Beach, and thought I was to cool to be true. There with my parents, who took me, lol. Had some very hip parents, who got into the SoCal music of the times. Was blessed to have seen many bands live during that period (1965-1969), will never forget it. Thanks, Mom and Dad!!!

[@charlesritter6640]

One of the greatest musicians to ever live.

[@y_ringoffire]

I like this song. I wrote this title on the request card for the band who were playing oldies numbers so often.😊

[@notpaying4yt]

One day John Fogerty will leave this world. And I'll come back to this video and cry alot harder than I did this time.

[@CMac15]

If I'm Conan, I have a hard time keeping it together there. I'd have been crying by the third strum. Instantly one of the all-time great Conan moments.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

The best thing about being alive today is, even though Creedence broke up a year before I was born, I can still listen and enjoy all the songs from their generation and any other generation I want. Creedence and John are legends not just of their time period but of any era of music. I have always loved this band, even as a small child.
