Creedence Clearwater Revival Live Performance of Ninety-Nine And A Half at Woodstock 69

Venue: Camden County Music Fair Location: Cherry Hill, New Jersey, United States Date: August 17, 1969

In August 1969, Creedence Clearwater Revival was riding high on the success of their album "Bayou Country," which had dropped just months earlier in January. This album, featuring hits like "Proud Mary" and "Born on the Bayou," helped solidify their status in rock and roll. The live performance captured in this recording of "Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do)" at Woodstock ’69 showcases their energetic vibe and masterful musicianship during a pivotal moment in their career. Interestingly, they delivered one of the festival's high-energy performances, which would later contribute to their legendary status, even though they were overshadowed by some of the bigger names at Woodstock. It's fascinating how this performance encapsulated a spirit of rebellion and resilience that echoed through the late '60s music scene.
