John Fogerty : Fortunate Son

From a concert in 2004

[@fromouterspace21]

Got goosebumps as soon as he stroke those first chords. Damn!

[@JoachimderZweite]

I can hear the guns and feel the fear - I want to remember and I want to forget. I see those young faces and hear their hopes and dreams - the women we talked about and never met - the things we never did - we left behind more than blood. We left behind the hopes and dreams of a generation. I will never be the same and what I was died there. I like to walk at night in the rain so I can talk to them and see them again. I want to find my way through the shadows. So many ghosts. I want to live again.

[@superstarreviews9937]

That was one of the most saddest,but at the same time one of the most beautiful,most poetic things I've ever read in my life!! God bless you and.our military!!

FUCK YOU AND YOUR MERCENARY THUGS:
YOU BASTARDS NEVER LEARN!
VIETNAM SLAUGHTER:
*nearly four million Vietnamese killed.
*more bombs dropped on Vietnam than by all sides in all previous wars throughout history, and three times more dropped than by all sides in the Second World War.
*19,000,000 gallons of herbicide poisoned the land.
*9,000 of 15,000 hamlets destroyed in the South of Vietnam.
*In the North, all six industrial cities devastated; 28 of 30 provincial towns and 96 of 116 district towns leveled by bombing.
*The United States threatened to use nuclear weapons thirteen times. Nixon chided Kissinger for being too squeamish about this. Nixon said he, himself, just didn’t give a damn.
*After the war, unexploded bombs and mines permeated the landscape and took an additional 42,000 lives. Millions of acres of land have still not been cleared of live ordnance.
*Agent Orange and other defoliants have caused severe health problems for millions of Vietnamese.
*Nearly all of Vietnam’s triple canopy forests were destroyed.
*3,000,000 tons of ordnance struck 100,000 sites during the “secret” war in Cambodia, causing widespread social dislocation, destruction of crops, and starvation. The U.S. bombing campaign in Cambodia was directly responsible for the rise of the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot and the genocide that took place afterward (The United States actually sided with Pol Pot when Vietnamese troops finally ended his reign of terror).
Now you are in Iraq, Afghanistan and sticking your noses in Syria!

[@profesorplazas]

Have you done a thing about that ?

[@profesorplazas]

I ain't American, but thanks for your service and sacrifice, sir.

[@jessesmit2907]

Someone give that bass player some kind of award for his moves around 0:20

[@trinitydiaz4804]

HAHAHAHAH YES YES YES!

[@lideelo]

John Fogerty is a Livin' LEGEND !:)))
TWO THUMBS UP !!!

[@kentishtowncowboy]

Absolutely Great. Powerful performance by a Great Songwriter of his own Classic. Thanks to John and his Band. Hope Dubya, Quayle, Cheney were all watching and reflecting.

[@91joelt]

0:24 Bass player got some sick foot work LOL

[@jorgeandrescoppiano.5715]

Joel Joel bad bad, bad ass

[@edko79]

Volcanic fire .. 1 millions thumbs up to this great great musician ....

[@davemoore7996]

Loved this song since I was young😊

[@BaDNws]

the old ways are still the best way would be great to see the originals together

[@twiztidjuggalows6]

growing up with grand parents and uncles who were in vietnam iv learned all about this song when i get into the military this will be my song you know you dont see many 19 year olds who listen to ccr i love them

[@huntinglife5202]

This is a great version love it

[@JamesBond-wh3fy]

The message in the song conveys the message that if you were a politicians kid you were not going to Viet Nam. Classic

[@lobelia1997]

not only that but rich kids. you missed the msg.

[@GoodyBob]

Now, that's still classic, timeless, grrrrreat rock n' roll!

[@stevewilkos123]

For those that keep comparing the playing to the CCR days fail to understand that It will never sound like CCR anymore as John and the band will never ever reunite so he's doing his own thing with HIS songs, which in most songs he's sped up and added more rock n' roll flare to it. As a CCR / John Fogerty mega fan, i'm happy to have both versions. I love listening to the old albums as well as listening to his now much softer (but still powerful) voice with the energy he puts in to it! Hands down the best ever grace a stage!

[@ironfist323]

Love this guy .

[@maximusisadog8977]

He's a true professional. The song really sums it up for many of us.

[@80rae]

The drummer...christ. I'd dare to say this is even better than the original CCR recording.

[@dark_shadows4151]

Holy fuck!!!! John fogerty you da man!! A wish my voice was half as good as yours. Totally amazing. Out of this world. 😎

[@tarjaseikkula5888]

[@7410n0]

Not sure if this is sped up, but the the tempo at which it's played really removes the solemness that the CCR version had.

[@listairgin]

Well said. I agree 👍 7410n0.
