8 track ,,,

I remember album rock, including this version of this song. CHUM FM in Toronto switched from classical music to album rock, not long before this came out, around the time I started high school. One of the first songs I remember being played was Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant. I was sitting in a friends kitchen, reading comic books, and heard this song going and going. It was my intro to album rock! There was a lot of excellent music back then and it wasn't interrupted by commercials.

@@James_Knott I remember those days as well. I was living in a college town for a while around that time. The college stations would play the whole side of an album a lot. Then around midnight you could tune in to the big watt pirate radio stations, & hear the good shit that AM radio wouldn’t play. I heard a lot of good “Underground” music then. Thanks for your comment.

The scene in "Apocalypse Now" that uses this song is fantastic though brief.

Glad you enjoyed it!

The guys in the band were about 22 years old when they recorded this.

Thanks, "Grapevine" remix to follow soon so keep checking...

Inte jag heller ....😎😎😎😎😎

We are, most of us, used to only having heard the “radio cut” versions of songs and not what ended up on the albums. In a Gadda da Vida for instance……

I guess you weren't around back in the late 60s & early 70s. Back then we'd often put on the headphones and turn the lights down to listen to music. Some people smoked something they weren't supposed to. 🙂 Back then, songs were often released in two versions, a short version, on a 45 RPM record for AM and a longer version on 33 1/3 album for FM. I remember when a Toronto radio station, CHUM FM, switched from classical music to album rock, just in time for this sort of music. I recall one day, when I was reading comic books in a friends kitchen, when we heard this one song keep going and going. It was Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant", which ran over 18 minutes and took the entire side of an album. Another long one is Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" at 44 minutes and took both sides of an album. Both of those are on KZfaq. Then we get into stuff like Moody Blues, Emerson Lake and Palmer and so many others. Those were fantastic times for music. BTW, another reason for headphones was typical stereos weren't the greatest for audio quality. They were furniture pieces built more for look than sound quality. Headphones helped with that issue. I agree with that other post about In a Gadda da Vida. Fantastic music, though the vocals suck.

@@James_Knott I possess all of the above in Vinyl, have multiple turntables that work and even some 8tracks. I remember when the Beatles were still together…

@@bobconnor1210 While I still have a turntable and some albums, I haven't played it in many years. In fact, I only played something once in over 30 years. I started listening to music around the time the Beatles became popular with Beatlemania and the British invasion. I've had many cassettes, but never an 8 track.

Yea,I couldn't have it better.😊😊😊😊

Aun Reniego, y me Pregunto Por que por que se Separaron !! De haber continuado estarian un escalon por arriba de los Beatles?

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah brother that was a great scene..✌🏻

It was Playboy

And certainly not in real STEREO

Remix did you miss that part. That's not John Forgery, and sounds black. Otherwise the tune is good. Now let hear CCR.

@@louiscolborn6715 John who ?🤔 😂

@@louiscolborn6715 What are you talking about? That IS John Fogerty!

It must've been a really different sound for radio when it was new on the scene back then. No echo, hypnotic drums, sleazy guitar riff!

I'll be 83 in less than a month. This version of "Suzie Q" blew me away when it was released by CCR in 1968. I was in high School in 1957 when I first heard on the radio the original as played by Dale Hawkins.

Thanks for listening

I graduated h/s during CCR's heyday ('72). Kids today don't have anything worthwhile to listen to. Sad.

I'm 42, from Australia. I enjoy listening to CCR. My eldest niece now 26, plays music such as this to her daughter now 3.

RIP Susan H !

Idem per me.

This is a remix, not the LP version

Y del UNIVERSO

Everybody can have it's own opinion, I respect yours too! I have a few different mixes from this song, maybe I'll ad them later on.

@@itcameoutofthesky good morning, its not my opinion. Im just pointing out that its difficult to hear all of the mid ranged instruments & voicings in this mix. i have a very good system but (even with my klipsch equalizer) could not bring up the volumes of all the instruments in the recording. Thankyou for replying & have a great day. 5:46 am 2/24/24

It's REALLY difficult to copy Fogerty. He plays stuff in very unusual patterns.

Tom Fogerty passed away on September 6th, 1990.

Nope! This long version is not new. The long version was on CCR's first album release in 1968.

@@lessismore6062 Yes, I know the 8 minute version is on the debut album. I am referring to the MIX itself. The original one had lead guitar and bass hard-panned to the left with rhythm guitar, drums, cabasa, tambourine and vocals to the right (there's a section where vocals are panned to the left). But on this remix lead guitar is on the left, rhythm on the right with drums, bass, tambourine, cabasa and vocals in the center, no hard-panning. But after further listening, I assume that this person took the MOGG files that contain the isolated tracks from Rock Band 3 DLC (which is 4 minutes long like the single version) and combined it with the old mix

@@Apo458 There is an 11 minute version that was recorded live in April or May, 1969. I've read about it but never heard it.

Tom passed away in 1990

Suzie Q was the daughter of Stan and Paula Lewis. Dale Hawkins, writer of the song, worked in Stan Lewis' record store at the time and he named the song after their daughter.

Commercials ??? Where?

No commercials in the middle of my videos, maybe you need to download an Adblocker or so?

@@itcameoutofthesky Right before the big guitar solo. KZfaq AI at work.

@@RideAcrossTheRiver : Not in my video, sorry. Can't explain why you get to see it and I don't.

@@itcameoutofthesky Yup, that's KZfaq now: targeted ads at very specific places.
