Creedence Clearwater Revival

In April 1972, Creedence Clearwater Revival delivered an electrifying performance of "Hey Tonight" at Budokan, which is featured on the album "Earthquake - Live At Budokan 1972." This live recording comes at a pivotal moment in their career, just after the release of their ambitious studio album "Pendulum" in late 1970, showcasing the band's ability to blend rock and folk while maintaining their signature Southern rock sound. By this point, the group was riding high on a wave of popularity, with numerous hits fueling their reputation. Interestingly, the Budokan concert took place during their last tour, as they would disband shortly after. Their spirited performance here not only exemplifies their raw talent but also evokes a sense of nostalgia, capturing the essence of a band that profoundly influenced the music scene of the late 60s and early 70s.
