John Fogerty, of course, played Woodstock as the front man for Creedence Clearwater Revival, though you might never know that if you just listened to the original soundtrack or watched the first releases of the documentary film. Creedenece doesn't appear in either, CCR didn't take the stage until well after midnight, after a long set by the Grateful Dead that was plagued by equipment issues and some "over indulgence" by the band. By that time, the crowd was weary while the sound issues and technical problems continued. Fogerty was unhappy with the situation and CCR'ss performance, so he barred the use of any of their set from either the original movie or soundtrack.
Almost 28 years after Woodstock, on May 20, 1997, Fogerty released the album Blue Moon Swamp, his first studio recording in 11 years. The disc climbed to #37 on the Billboard charts and certified gold. Rolling Stone gave the album a 4 star review and in 1998, it won a Grammy for Best Rock Album. After years out of the spotlight, John Fogerty was back. He went on tour in support of the album the same month it was released. In December 1997, he recorded a live album, Premonition, then continued to tour well into 1998 in support of both discs. This FM broadcast captures Fogerty in New York at the Hard Rock Cafe on August 3, 1997, 23 years ago today, promoting his new disc on national radio, during the early part of his tour.

While I appreciate your shares, I have a problem with your choice of uploader as it keeps trying to give me some type of virus and malwarebytes always blocks it.
Unfortunately, there are very few free uploading services that work everyehere. Solidfiles is one that does and it has never given me a problem and i have extensive malware protection built into my computer since i lao use it for work. Sorry you are having an issue but unfortunately, no upload solution is univerally perfect.
Speedy, you have a great find here. Good recording, J.C. Fogerty starting out with early Creedence numbers, and more CCR mixed in with a few solo selections. Anybody who love's CCR and John Fogerty's music will like this. An American original. Thanks!
Thanks for this speedy!
THANKS
