"Live at Woodstock" is a live album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). The album was released on August 2, 2019, 50 years after the band's seminal performance at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969. CCR was one of the few bands to perform at Woodstock that did not appear in the subsequent documentary film or the original soundtrack due its frontman, John Fogerty's disappointment at the band's performance time, which was after midnight following a lengthy set by the Grateful Dead.
The two-CD album comprises 11 tracks and features big hits such as "Bad Moon Rising", "Proud Mary" and "Susie Q". While most of the albums at that time were heavily edited to fit the length of a single LP, "Live at Woodstock" stands out as it shows the full uncensored concert of CCR, without any cuts in the performances. "Live at Woodstock" showcases the raw, inimitable energy of the band at its prime that redefined American rock music.
This album is a significant piece of rock history as it presents the unique chance to hear CCR's Woodstock performance in its entirety, experiencing the magic and energy of that fabled weekend. It is a testament to the enduring appeal and timeless magic of CCR's music. Critics and fans alike have praised the intensity and musicianship displayed on the record, marking it as a valuable addition to any rock music collection. Despite having been recorded half a century ago, the album continues to resonate with listeners even today.
