Creedence Clearwater Revival Live At Woodstock

Image
This is the live CD of Legendary American rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival and this was recorded at the Woodstock Festival August 17th 1969 which they didn't get on stage until after midnight but their performance was never on album or in the movie but in 1994 a few songs were on the box set as well as in 2009 footage of some of their performances were on the home video and also it's the first time that their whole performance is released on CD. On this live CD they performed the songs they did at the time including some of the hits like Suzie Q, Proud Mary, Green River and I Put A Spell On you and some album tracks from the albums they had at the time. It's ROCKIN,BRILLIANT AND SUPERB with great songs and the sound is FANTASTIC which it is well worth listening too. This live CD has charted in mainly European countries and hard to believe that it's 50 years since this legendary music festival happened which it's still remembered after all these years. Th...
