For the January crowd, however, it's just fine. |

Indeed! Try that with the live version! Even better.

This version has no 'slick' and no 'smooth'. Its harsh with too many crashy parts. Just not necessary...really. Annoying is what I'm hearing. Besides...raisins have forever tarnished this song no matter who performs it. Btw, is it necessary to have this song be so incredibly long? C'mon Fogerty...we get the point.

WBBQ—perfect name for a smoke-out.
I could never have gotten away with anything like this (envy). It's been decades since I've been stoned and I do miss it from time to time.

Geez, looking at some of these comments you'd think none of the listeners have ever been to a concert where the musicians just jammed.
Not the greatest tune of all time, far from it, but do like it and especially like the jam

Great job RP finding an extended (excellent) version of this song that makes an old classic seem fresh again! Thanks!

Marvin Gay did a smashup job of this song. I'd love to hear it.

Not too many songs where Fogerty shared the mike. I can't recall any besides this one.

That's just silly. Have you heard every song ever recorded? I think this is MUCH better than Rebecca Black's "Friday." But I suppose if that's your bag, who am I to judge? |

I like it when a group takes a song and completely reinterprets it, Hate to call it a 'cover'.

As a Dutchman with some interest in accents in English, I've always thought that the vocals in this particular CCR song are a VERY strong example of an accent from the NYC area. "I hea'y'd it through the grapevine" In another song: "Big wheels keep on tu'y'ning, Proud Mary keeps on Bu'y'ning" I believe the accent is from "New Je'y'sey", just accross the Hudson river. Can somebody confi'y'm this, or enlighten me? The affection is/was a take on Mississippi delta diphthongs, "choich" for "church", "woik" for "work" and so on. My physics prof back in the days was a black man from southern Mississippi, and he had 'em pegged from the get go, "Those boys wanna be from down there, but they ain't." The "ain't" with a wink. His specialty was quantum mechanics, the last I saw him, he was editing his correspondence with Einstein. "Woik" indeed. Later edit: CCR was from El Cerrito, a little burg just north of Berkeley. |
