- CCR was supposed to perform in primetime, but that was before the Grateful Dead hit the stage hopped up on LSD.

John Fogerty’s Woodstock Memories | CONAN on TBS
/ teamcoco - Komedie
Man, it's a shame CCR didn't last longer. It's amazing what they managed to do in just 5 years' time, and they're still considered one of the best rock bands of all time even today. I really hope they manage to work out their legal issues and have another reunion, that would be amazing.
+Aleksandar Talevski To be fair, his solo shows are fucking amazing. 70 years old and rocks out for three hours straight.
+Aleksandar Talevski...one is dead for sure and I think another is too.
+bodleladle Tom is the only one that passed away, John's still kicking, as are Stu and Doug. The only thing that stands between a reunion are their legal problems.
+Aleksandar Talevski I think you can forget about that, they still hate each other, and to be fair, John Fogerty was the big talent of the band anyway.
Leo B Yeah, Wrote every single song. Like Noel Gallagher from Oasis.
he is surprisingly youthful for someone who's pushing 70.
+The Fumbo Muffin He actually is 70!
miss october and he honestly doesn't look much older than 55.
MetrazolElectricity don't start.
+The Fumbo Muffin You should see him live. 3+ hours non stop.
You come off as much younger if you have a youthful personality.
John Fogerty doesn't seem like the type of person who would start going "yo I'm totally old and stuff" as soon as he was pushing 30 or anything like that, he probably insisted that he still felt very young at that age.
Conan, please interview more music legends...while they're still with us!
The grateful Dead are also quoted as saying they were being shocked from all the mics because it was raining and none of the equipment was grounded properly. I think that's what the silence John heard was, the grounds crew fixing the electrical set up so the bands wouldn't be electrocuted.
Yeah you are right
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) - you'd think fogerty would have heard that in the last 46 years, he's probably told the story an thousand times.
***** watch?v=qj6ardnopJQ funny thing is, conan knew about it beforehand, too. lol guess you just gotta let the guest tell the story from their perspective
+Jordan O (Ponydigger9) Lol someone wanted to do justice to Grateful Dead name.
Cosmo's Factory: All thanks to the innovation of The Grateful Dead's benefactor and soundman, Owsley Stanley III. He was the one who set the wheels in motion for the proper concert PA's we saw the explosion of in the late '60's right on through to today. He had a vision of what a proper sound system should be, and he spent years and considerable amounts of money to achieve it. It culminated in GD's "Wall of Sound" in 1973 and (especially) 1974. As Phil Lesh put it, that PA "was like hearing the voice of God." Owsley was a pretty interesting and amazing guy. Love your username, btw. That's far and away my favorite CCR album. 3rd Generation!!!
I love how nice and down to earth he seems.....
Flannery Monaghan-Morrs
He's probably told that story 2000 times. John may be a nice guy but this is a performance.
Wouldn't it be awesome to find "that guy" and introduce them
I was thinking the same thing. HAHA
He is probably dead by now
@@ankushmamgain8227 The couple on the front of the Woodstock album are still alive and still married.
@@ankushmamgain8227 I bet you're fun at a party
@@ankushmamgain8227 Died right after. Legends man. Legends.
He's the best at letting the songs come through and not letting any ego get in the way. Just perfect natural simplicity. It comes on the radio, you turn it up, and always feel better than you did a few minutes ago.
Well, he has a massive ego by stating that HE was playing the whole gig for that guy. And that he sues his former bandmates.
John did most of the work, so he's entitled to it. Tom, Doug and Stu bitched about band management, even though they didn't know jackshit about the business. Then John finally gave in to their "creativity", and when Doug and Stu finally got their way, it flopped. *cough* Mardi Gras. @@aimfuldrifter
I would like to see John Fogerty and his children in concert playing all of John's ( CCR's) hits. What a legend.
I saw him at bethel woods last summer and he told the same story, haha. Awesome concert, so cool that he came back to where Woodstock happened after 45 years.
Good story- I interviewed Marty Balin (Airplane) for my radio show. He said that backstage was all drugs. He said the bands played cards all night...they would be stoned...drunk...sobered up...and stoned again. They played cards all night and day. Whichever band lost the card game would have to go out. He said he played cards with Janis and Jimi.
That’s amazing and honestly sounds like a great time, just with fellow musicians and getting high as the sky for hours. Great times
Love the ending. Shows how one person can make a difference
🎶💟
Great story!
Keep on Chooglin', Mr Fogerty. Keep on Chooglin'
Love that song.
ohthepeppers Now it's "Keep On Googling".
His skin looks stunning.
well duh...that's why he was famous.
New fetish unlocked
He’s my fetish
Love John Fogerty. Thanks Conan.
Lives healthy and has a purpose.
They put one Hell of a show at woodstock. John was on fire at that night.
Love John Fogerty...been a fan of him and CCR since the 60's. Too bad the other members of the band refused to accept the genius and talent of John, who was the essence of CCR. This should have become evident to them after the Mardi Gras album debacle. CCR had a good thing going,,,too bad it was cut short by jealousy.
All i know is that on WLS AM radio in CHICago, for 2 years straight, im gonna say 1969 to maybe 1971 i heard A LOT!!!! of CCR. I was 6 pushing 8 then. John is and those plaid looking shirts kept we warm from many CHICAGO winter in elementary school with a thermal undershirt wor underneath with a pair of longjohns.Thanks John Fogerty!!!!
Larrry Lujack was the disc jockey by the way on WLS radio in CHICAGO then!!!
Uncle Lar and Little Tommy....Lujack would play golf in the middle of winter at ...Cog Hill, I think, golf course...lol
Somebody recently mentioned Larry's wintertime golfing....it might have been Garry Meier.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK i was 12, but my 70's soundtrack was c.c.r. and skynyrd, and my dad's 73 mercury bobcat wagon with a 3 speed stick, fast as hell off the line, i wanna get one, and drop a 301 in there, and have a CASSETTE player playing fortunate son full blast, and pullup ...to some of the kids in their dropped honda's, and do a John Milner trip on thier little asses......all in good fun....wearing a john Fogerty plaid special.
This is so funny. I love CCR and I could imagine jamming out to them at Woodstock.
We need to find this mysterious man aka "that guy"
The Dude I agree , and also mail him a lifetime supply of Bic Lighters !!!! 😂😂😂
Dirty water 9 zippo not bic
No doubt 20,000 guys and 10,000 women would claim to be “That Guy”!
after watching the dead I still would've been super pumped to watch credence clearwater.
Heard the new "CCR - Live At Woodstock" CD on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show. How many bands playing at Woodstock have gotten THEIR own album like this? Amazing!
He kinda looks like Harrison Ford.
+Stevo935 It's like a mix of Harrison Ford and Willem Dafoe
Stevo935 he looks like manlier Tig Nataro
He does. He also has a great voice.
Stevo935 nah look at his shows in the 90s and he does look like Harrison Ford.
Stevo935 or Steve Zahn
Fogerty looks so young for his age
I'm STILL an old hippie [b1950] and trust me thinking young KEEPS you young. I still act luje HW, Jr. or waylon Jennings when l party. Some of my 'old' friends ask me to act my age to which l reply; l hope l never get so old the kid in me dies: i couldn't count my friends if l had a month. They'er always asking me to help them figure out the latest weird news of the day, cause they have no clue. I've 'rescued' a few from that 'inside the box' thinking and they thank me all the time. It's called living brother!
I can always count on Conan to bring in the guests that matter.
He's my favorite musician, love Creedence Clearwater Revival!
I was hoping this clip was going to be when John graced viewers with a song, it was such an amazing display of skill
And right after Sly and the family stone kept them dancing all night
No, Janis was on after CCR, THEN Sly.
I ain't into country music BUT being a '69er, I grew up on CCR and JF. Till this day both play in my car much to the annoyance of my kids (12 & 6) who keep telling me "turn off the old music, dad!" BAHHHHHHHH......Live long John.. Hope you come down under one day again.....
+Kokoda Wookie Don't ever let your kids decide what music you play in your car; they listen to shit anyway and they need a good musical education. Everyone born after 1990 needs that because they haven't had any genuine greats while growing up.
*****
LOL.. ain't that the fact...=)
Nirvana 1992
1:08 he looks like a little kid listening to his dads stories and thinking to himself “I’m trying that” even though he was told not to.
CCR, Rolling Stones, the animals...
+Jaime Uh The Stones and the Animals didn't perform in that concert
+danhayabusa I know, but those bands are one of the greatest out there.
+Jaime Uh I have to strongly disagree on the animals, they're only famous for one song, which is a cover, not even a very original cover because so many other artists covered it as well
Hahahahah. The animals. We gotta get out of this place, Bring it on home to me, don't let me be misunderstood, boom boom. I don't see where you're getting at, Interstellar Bam.
You're forgetting The Who!
The greatest songwriter of all time! And such a great person
It was me! Feels good to finally get some love and recognition for that! ❤️❤️❤️
damn such a legend!!!!
CCR was spitting fire at Woodstock, too.
Legend!
I've played a show for once before where only one guy was the only audience we had moving around and going crazy. I guess that's all you really need:)
Epic story, gotta enjoy this while we have it
Props for that guy
He looks GREAT! and still sings amazing. IDK why they didn't put up him singing, "have you ever seen the rain" here... it's online but not on the Coco CZcams channel :/
Look here: czcams.com/video/qJUxdhbxqfg/video.html
When I was 9 years old, my parents were getting a divorce and my dad has always been a huge ccr fan and he wanted to go see John Fogerty and my parents getting a divorce was hard on me. Well my dad brought me to Choctaw where John fogerty was playing and he wanted me to see him. During the concert he had just finished I think it was either “have you ever seen the rain” or “someday never comes” during the song I got on my dads shoulders and was cheering and I was the only person there under 40 years old and John fogerty saw me and when he was grabbing a different guitar he gave the guitar pic he used during the song and handed it to his wife. she came down to were me and my dad were and said “John wanted me to give you this” I honesty still can’t believe that happened
Lawmanrulz I saw John Fogerty about 20 years ago in Boston and brought my 6 year old son who had a bright white Red Sox Shirt on , Luckily we had seats in the 6th row center and when the first song ended ( Born on the Bayou) John looked Strait at my Son and pointed at him , waved at him ,saluted to him and then Bowed to my son. All this time my son is jumping up and down yelling, Dad Dad he waved at me he said hi to me , Dad Dad and he started balling his eyes out. Was one of the best moments of both our lives. To this day me and my son still talk about that moment. I always wanted to tell John Fogerty how that 10 seconds changed our life’s.
Dirty water 9 that’s CRAZY me and my dad were both wearing Red Sox shirts (originally from Massachusetts) in about the 6th row center!
Lawmanrulz best thing was , here’s John Fogerty who’s a Yankees Fan Saluting a 6 Year old Red Sox Fan. Just Awesome. I have total respect for John Fogerty. I even went so far as to send him a CD of Blue Moon Swamp hoping he would Autograph it for my son and low and behold it came back autographed to My son Stephen it said best wishes John Fogerty. Couldn’t believe it. I think because he has kids about my sons age , is why he likes to see kids being kids and seeing them happy. We all know what his childhood was like. So he knows. Just listen to the song “ Some day never comes “. It says it all. I educated my kid all about John Fogerty , so my son gets it. You won’t find a better guy to learn about life than John Fogerty. He’s seen it all.
Jim Beam I read it. It’s him. Genius. Period. Thanks Julie.
Man, I love this.
John....probably about the least pretentious man around.
Looks amazing, sounds amazing… Love him! Such a treasure…❤
That was awesome. Would've loved to have been there.
John. What an original. Wow.
The only interesting thing about his new autobio is that he played the sax on Travelin' Band; the rest reads like it was written by a high school kid.
+steve conn He also played sax on "As Long as I See the Light" and "Molina."
John Fogerty is awesome
Legend.
I love John, what a gemini king
This is awesome...
I was there..i had no idea it was 230 I thought it was about 10 pm..so..but what I do remember well.. is the whole field dancing..may john couldn't see us..but my God..ive never seen so many people boggying in my life..it was the whole field..they put on a fantastic show...
:
Dear John happy birthday! You are still in your 70ties❤❤ 1 to go
A legend
Whenever I see this guy or listen to his music I think .. “ How the hell did this guy make so many great songs ?” 🤯
Class act
John Fogerty one of the greats.
OMG, why did we have to watch those pics while John sung to the luckiest audience ever!!! I would have loved to see the whole song and the audiences response.
he knows exactly what conan is about to say by the way he is shaking his head
That guys name? Albert Einstein...
@Richard Collier he figured out how to unify General Reletivity with Quantum Mechanics and figured out how to time travel, got stuck in 1969 and went to woodstock and was indeed That Guy. Fogerty played for Einstein.
I've seen this Woodstock incident in other CZcams videos on interviews with John Fogerty in which he relates what happened to their appearances CCR then. He indicates that this was the inspiration and background to one of my favorite of his compositions and songs here recorded as lead singer and lead man for CCR. This song was part of the cosmos Factory which was recorded in late 69 and became a big hit in the spring of 1970 around March 1970 titled "Who'll Stop The Rain?"
As saw your comment hers have mentioned this Conan O'Brien segment was recorded about the time that he was nearing 70 on 5 / 28 / 1970, as his do be his 5 / 28 slash 1945. He is still active in recording to some extent and he is remaining vibrant is due to God's grace in his life, would he might not been aware of that the time, as well as the other members that departed from him in CCR, as a never be came in the slave or took part in escapades of drugs, alcohol, and other escapades which pop rockers unfortunate became involved in. They were all led to maintain there focus up on the artistry contain and most of their conversations inspired by God's genius to John Fogerty to exercise his God given talents. Unfortunately kama they became jealous of Johns artistry and ability, and mistakenly prevail the pond him to have a album recorded after 6 stop albums which swapped by there contributions in writing and singing. There is an old adage at when something works don't mess with it. Unfortunately in our human fallen state of pride( which God list as his most hated of 7 deadly sins in the book a proverbs. His hate for it is because it made Lucifer what he became and was Satan and the destruction on God's human creation which in sued. It is forgivable by HIS Salvation in his only begotten Son Jesus Christ included to us. There is only one unforgivable sandwich Jesus outlined in Matthew chapter 12 verse 32 which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. That can't be forgiven).
If the other members of CCR had taken lessons from such group artist or duets as Simon and Garfunkel, and which Paul Simon did all of the competition with Garfunkel willing to contribute his wonderful voice and artistry; and even the Rolling Stones who kept together even up to our time when most people in England dislike them in comparison the Beatles in the midst 60's thinking the would only last for one - 2 years at most. While stones members suffered from narcissism that time and other bad habits they didn't mess with what made it a success and how we all inner mixed with Mick Jagger in maintaining their successful recordings over many decades.
John é um genio sabe fazer bem feito.Pelo que acompanho foram prejudicados pelas chuvas no festival e que tanbem é uma das poucas bandas desfeitas que nao foi por causa de drogas inclusive ele nao suporta isso.Acho ele muito pé no chão.Adoro ele e como ele cuida bem de sua aparencia ajudado pela esposa que o ajudou muito e continua ajudandoamo familia fogerty fpolis br.
I Love it I played for That Guy!😍❤️🤠🤟🤟
John rocks.
Love CCR, Love GD.
Best band of all time!
Beach Boys/Brian Wilson are by far the best band. It's not even close.
I was that guy.yeah I remeber those days,sweetest time of my life.
I was told by mamy accounts it was because of heavy rain duting the Deads' set that cause the show to tale extremely long and thry didnt even finish it because theyre equipment wouldve been screwed.
0:45 he had to wait til the 90s to find that out? Lol
Fogerty, Schmogerty ❤
Moral of the story: be THAT guy!
Good story john. We just saw you in concert at Chinook winds.
They would be everyone's favourite band if the Beatles were born in the 80s.
My grandfather loved ccr
Early in the morning, out here in the street!
i seen the footage they were really good
Classic Woodstock story
Tan lindo John Fogerty 🥰🥰🤗🤗😅🤣
CCR did one song and you could hear John yelling away from the mic (presumably to the other band members) "I can't hear a thing". No stage monitors, and such a large vast area you just have to try to sing on cue and cross your fingers.
Note Grace Slick holding a hand to her ear when she started singing on Sunday morning.
As i remember the released Woodstock double album,...did not have CCR & Johnny Winter in it... that's very sad.... why?
lolololoololol love it
Always envied his guitar playing singing and songwriting. Now I envy his hair....
It is true that he is a great writer & he is in the songwriters Hall of Fame but he did some great covers.
XD for all we know, that guy was the only one awake.
I would have been that guy with the lighter had I been around. Who the hell wants to listen to the dead for more than 10 minutes, much less hours?
Firstname: Sometimes I listen to the Dead all day at work. Because I understand music, and as someone who does, I can hear what an incredible band the Grateful Dead were. Who else sounded like them back then? Nowadays, lots of bands try to sound like them, but back in the '60's and '70's, the Dead were their own distinctively unique beast. In some ways, the lyrics of Robert Hunter and John Perry Barlow (who both wrote the lion's share of Dead lyrics) share quite a few similarities with those of John Fogerty. All are rooted in deep Americana, invoking the spirit of bygone days and places with stunning clarity. I absolutely love both GD and CCR. The Dead, however, could create pure magic out of thin air. Jerry Garcia - in his prime - never played a solo the same way twice, constantly re-inventing himself in the process. There was NO ONE like him, and there never, ever will be again. His dedication to exploring new musical territory was unparalleled. Phil Lesh was (is) a bass player like no other - the point being, GD was a band of musicians whose style was unlike any other. People who dismiss the Dead to me are in the same category as those whine about not liking Bob Dylan because "his voice sucks, he mumbles"....y'know, the same ol' tired bullshit. I find people who dismiss the Dead as a sucky, boring jam band - having never seen them or only having heard Casey Jones, Truckin' or Touch of Grey on the radio - as incredibly narrow-minded.
Firstname Lastname you have to understand The Grateful Dead, their Music and the DeadHeads. It’s basically a lifestyle. I’ve been to Plenty of Shows and it’s an experience someone should have tried once in there life time. I’ve met more people from around the world at Dead Shows that are generally all good people. From Paperboys to presidents of Company’s , it’s the Music that we all love and it’s basically a common bond. You should listen to
“ Eyes of the World “ sometime or watch the Grateful Dead Movie. It’s an experience to say the least.
Bender Bending Rodriguez
Well said. They should listen to Scarlet Begonia’s or I knowYou rider or Deal or even better , watch the Grateful Dead Movie. Now we’re talking. There Unbelievable. I’ve been to Plenty of Shows. 70 thousand heads all in the same place and every one if em are Friendly and willing to help and all are and were just Friendly. Zero hate and Zero Violence.
@Victor Makris yea
The shirt that John is wearing looks like a pearl- snap shirt from the '70s, the reason how I can tell is of how big the collar is.
look up norm macdonald talking about bob uecker and john fogerty, it's really funny
Thanks for the tip, that was a hilarious clip!
John how is it goin? Keep on man! Robert Sebree
Man I wish WoodStock times would come back.
In our nut ass world of today it would probably be a venue for the biggest mass shooting ever.
I love fogerty
The hobbit has maybe the creepiest laughter ever.
And then they say, more than 100 000 people missed Hendrix!
John played only for one guy, and 200 000 sleepy souls, you Donut holes!
By the time Hendrix hit the stage on Monday morning, the crowd was about 25,000 people. So about 475,000 people missed out, man.
Press F to pay respect for Hendrix!
Wow, O'Brien STILL has a late night chat show? I had no idea.
Why hasn't John been on Conan's podcast yet? Hope they're gonna have him sometime!
If there´s going to be a movie about John, Steve Zahn has to get the part.
ccr was at woodstock? don't think i've ever seen any footage or heard any recording of that performance.
us there footage of that concert.
hippies were so high they felt asleep.
*felf*
+luvyou baby Fell? lol
*Phelps*
+salas7146 you fell asleeeep?!
This is honestly one of conan's best interviews, RIP John Fogerty
He was probably thinking of his brother Tom who died from a bad blood transfusion .
John fogerty alive nigha
Didn’t expect little Frodo to show up 1:06
