REACTING TO CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - BORN ON THE BAYOU! 🎸🔥| (REACTION VIDEO!!)

*HooDoo* is like a ghost, evil spirit.

[@johncole282]

This band was a great band to Dance to , there music had a great beat to dance to in my teen years . The late 60 and 70 to were the best years of my life Unfortunately that the Americans were in war with Vietnam . All wars I’n my opinion are based on corruption and only the simple hard working people suffer

[@JustMe-gn6yf]

Born in 1960 spent my entire teenage years in the 70s and looking back I feel blessed to have experienced all that great music of all genres as it was released and without internet as a kid and young man life was great

[@saythetruth2426]

lucky lol

[@davescurry69]

Guys, there's a longer version of that with more of the instrumental section and another verse.

[@karenpowell6063]

Lol we were not bored back before cell phones & computers. Quite the contrary actually. We enjoyed friends, reading, outdoor activities & the most rocking live music ever at concerts where there was very little violence. Just everybody having a good time without the distractions of social media

[@artbagley1406]

Gettin' high and tossin' the ol' Frisbee or swimming in a spring then headin' home and puttin' an album on the turntable and cookin' dinner!

and finding out about college music AFTER you'd gone to college... these days, there's really no such thing as college music. the 90s turned it all semi-mainstream. but growing up outside was way better than the shit kids do, these days. hell, in summer i'd have a new bruise or cut every night, and my parents somehow didn't call every politician in the state to get laws passed to make the world safer for me. i just accepted that fun had some drawbacks.

[@Isidronoscu]

yes, you are right I remember in the high school waiting for Friday to go and race quarter mile on the back roads, rock blasting and sometime been chase off by the police because it was illegal. then after that going to the beach relaxing with the girls drinking Micky's beers and MD 20/20 and the indispensable joint.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Not disagreeing with your comment as a whole. However, there were violence, political assassenations (JFK, MLK and RFK) the war in Vietnam and civil rights protest. I do think for the most part the suburbs, countryside, and even some cities were fairly safe. I lived in NYC from 1969 to mid 71, I was single and female. I lived on 3rd Ave and 36th street. For single people most of the action was up around the mid sixties (streets) to about 80 street. I would take the bus home at 2 a.m. or later and fetl pretty safe, one reason New York is truly a city that never sleeps, the bus was full of people, and when I had to work a few block to my apartment, they were deli's and coffeshops open all night.

[@artbagley1406]

"I Put A Spell On You" is another fantastic CCR rockin' tune. "Up Around the Bend" will get your feet tappin', too! Welcome to '70s Southern Rock.

[@joelopez843]

I saw this group in 1972 in Detroit and they were as good live as they were on their records. They made a tremendous impact on music, especially between 1969 and 1971 where they had 14 consecutive Top 10 hits including Born on the Bayou. Many of their songs have been background music in movies especially "Fortunate Son" Although most of their music sounded like southern or cajun type music, they were actually from a small town called "El Cerrito" which is close to San Francisco and Oakland, California.

I saw them live many times. They sounded like you would imagine-a great, loud, rocking version of the record's arrangement and sound. No frills. Two guitars, bass, and drums...and John Fogarty belting out song after song.

[@nauseantrock532]

My childhood music💪🏻😎

[@NigelIncubatorJones]

The full version of this song is 5 minutes long. Unfortunately there's this shortened version out there. One should never deprive oneself of the full CCR experience. What did we do back in the pre-internet days? We read books, watched TV, listened to music, played board games or cards, played sports, spent time outside, etc.

[@shawnyoung8752]

8 minutes at least on album. Saw h I m do this song 2013 14? St Augustine Florida. It wasn't on pla list and it was a great beat. He pulled out his wawa bar guitar. Had seen him 3 times in 80s and this song made me aware of his a underrated guitar player.

[@pauljohnstone180]

A HOODOO is a ghost or a spirit or just a noise in the woods. The dog senses it and chases after it but it's never found. John Fogerty loved the sound and style of Southern Rock so he wrote songs with that Southern feeling and if people thought he was from Louisiana that was ok You guys are great . I love your reactions! PJ (your 72 year old fan from Oregon) 😄

Hoodoo is also a voodoo-like religion of the deep south and Caribbean. "A Hoodoo" could be interpreted as a practitioner of this religion. Gives a bit of different meaning....

First and I love the reaction! Bayou is the swamp areas of the USA, they live different but simple lives. They are very tough people and need NO technology if it was that way!

[@Tr1hawaii]

I love that you think about us older folk and what we did. To listen to this album (or any album), we would go to a friends house, have a drink and put the album on. We would listen to it one song at a time, talk about it and then go to the next song. By the time the album is over, we’ve had enough drinks and are enjoying being together and discovering something together. Y’all should try that with friends one evening; pick an album no one has heard and just listen and discover together. Cheers!

[@buddy3886]

and people would smoke weed listening to the longer version

[@cdfdesantis699]

Ah, we were never bored, with great music like THIS to listen to! "BY-u's" are swamps & murky bays along the Mississippi River delta. A "hoodoo" is usually a small game animal, like an opossum or raccoon. This genre of music is called "swamp rock", & CCR had an affinity for it. Thanks for your reaction.

Great job guys, and nice to see how much you enjoy these classics.

I'm betting that Eagles Live will Absolutely blow your minds lol...

Despite what others may say in the comments, anyone who lives in the south knows that a bayou is not swamp. A bayou is a slow-flowing stream either along the coast that flows into a bay or a short tributary of a larger river. They're found in low-lying areas so they're often associated with swampy areas

[@alanhembra2565]

The man in the song is the government or more specifically law enforcement.

"The Man" is an American euphemism meaning a boss or authority figure, but usually more generally referring to the law or government. "Don't let the man get you" means don't run afoul of the law (or don't let a lawman catch you).

[@RT-mn2pb]

That's it, I want your time machine. Oh, what se did back then when I was young was also wish we had a time machine. but you touched on one part of why the music back then was so good, it was controlled by the artists not the businessmen who just want a machine that cranks out profitable music. The artist cares about touching your heart. Chasing down a hoodoo there means chasing down the magic. Bayou is an area mostly southern Louisiana.

Fogerty and the band wrote and sang about serious socio-political and economic issues beyond the puppy love between a boy and a girl---like Bob Dylan, philosophers as well as artists...try "Wrote a Song For Everyone" "Who'll Stop the Rain","Fortunate Son", "Ramble Tamble"...a few more...

[@mariocuellar9060]

More people need to listen to CCR!!!

[@alan73795]

You actually can see them! This year! John Fogerty (singer, guitarist, songwriter and leader of CCR) recently got the rights to his entire musical library back (a long twisting story of the treacherous music biz) and he's now on a CCR "Celebration Tour" with a full band, including his son (also a mighty guitar-slinger in his own right). Totally rejuvenated by getting his catalogue back, the 79 year old Fogerty seems ageless, running back and forth across the stage like a little kid, ripping off guitar leads like Jimmy Page, while vocally hitting every note and signature growl. I saw his show earlier this year and it's amazing; like stepping through a time machine! He rises out of the stage with the opening chords of "Bad Moon Rising", his body silhouetted against a giant full moon. As the crowd yells out their song requests, Fogerty assures them "Don't worry, we're going to play them all!" And he basically does, including favorite solo numbers like "Old Man Down The Road" and "Centerfield". He's on tour right now in Europe, hitting the U.S. again starting in late July. Don't miss it!

You should check out the Woodstock version of this. John didn't like the sound quality, but I think the raw energy made it really special! There is another video of CCR on a river boat party, at night, performing 'Bootleg', a real groove of a song of theirs. An original video.

[@artsilva]

"The Man" refers the boss, the government and society norms. That piece of information you pulled up is slightly wrong. John was not born in Southern California, or the bayou in the south eastern states, he was born in Berkeley, in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band rehearsed and recorded in that same city.
