Creedence Clearwater Revival

In September 1971, Creedence Clearwater Revival was riding high on their undeniable wave of success, having just released their album "Pendulum" earlier that year. This live footage captures the trio performing "Born On The Bayou" at the Sportpaleis in Belgium, showcasing their raw energy and swamp rock sound. It’s fascinating to note that this performance came just after the release of "Pendulum," which marked a transitional phase for the band. They were experimenting with their sound and facing internal tensions, leading to a more stripped-down arrangement here as a trio. This concert represents a unique moment in CCR's journey, combining the fervor of their earlier hits with the innovative spirit of their upcoming work, creating a blend of nostalgia and fresh exploration that their fans absolutely adored.
