No band is more American than Creedence

*HooDoo* is like a ghost, evil spirit.

Lol we were not bored back before cell phones & computers. Quite the contrary actually. We enjoyed friends, reading, outdoor activities & the most rocking live music ever at concerts where there was very little violence. Just everybody having a good time without the distractions of social media

Born in 1960 spent my entire teenage years in the 70s and looking back I feel blessed to have experienced all that great music of all genres as it was released and without internet as a kid and young man life was great

The full version of this song is 5 minutes long. Unfortunately there's this shortened version out there. One should never deprive oneself of the full CCR experience. What did we do back in the pre-internet days? We read books, watched TV, listened to music, played board games or cards, played sports, spent time outside, etc.

John Fogerty is the lead singer he is still alive today and he still sounds like that today. He still tours. GOD BLESS EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️

"I Put A Spell On You" is another fantastic CCR rockin' tune. "Up Around the Bend" will get your feet tappin', too! Welcome to '70s Southern Rock.

A HOODOO is a ghost or a spirit or just a noise in the woods. The dog senses it and chases after it but it's never found. John Fogerty loved the sound and style of Southern Rock so he wrote songs with that Southern feeling and if people thought he was from Louisiana that was ok You guys are great . I love your reactions! PJ (your 72 year old fan from Oregon) 😄

👉Run through the jungle👈 it's about Vietnam war.. my dad use to play when he come home from Vietnam

This band was a great band to Dance to , there music had a great beat to dance to in my teen years . The late 60 and 70 to were the best years of my life Unfortunately that the Americans were in war with Vietnam . All wars I’n my opinion are based on corruption and only the simple hard working people suffer

Heard ItThrough the Grapevine (long version) is amazing...you'll Lovr it! Love your reactions! Thank you

Always play the longest versions of classic rock songs!

1960's.... The MAN = GOVERNMENT ( Don't let the man get you)

I saw this group in 1972 in Detroit and they were as good live as they were on their records. They made a tremendous impact on music, especially between 1969 and 1971 where they had 14 consecutive Top 10 hits including Born on the Bayou. Many of their songs have been background music in movies especially "Fortunate Son" Although most of their music sounded like southern or cajun type music, they were actually from a small town called "El Cerrito" which is close to San Francisco and Oakland, California.

Love you guys and love this song. Elie you're a lucky man having such a lovely woman in your life.

I saw them live many times. They sounded like you would imagine-a great, loud, rocking version of the record's arrangement and sound. No frills. Two guitars, bass, and drums...and John Fogarty belting out song after song.

Guys, there's a longer version of that with more of the instrumental section and another verse.

CCR, this band has a catalog of great music, I have Been listening to them for 50 years! Please keep going with them you will never be disappointed. CCR

Funny thing is, these guys were from San Francisco and had never been over here in bayou country.

Saw them live in 68 or 69, best concert I ever went to. They sounded as good in person as the studio version.

I love that you think about us older folk and what we did. To listen to this album (or any album), we would go to a friends house, have a drink and put the album on. We would listen to it one song at a time, talk about it and then go to the next song. By the time the album is over, we’ve had enough drinks and are enjoying being together and discovering something together. Y’all should try that with friends one evening; pick an album no one has heard and just listen and discover together. Cheers!

Life looking through the eyes of a True American boldly portraying life as a American through his Songs

First and I love the reaction! Bayou is the swamp areas of the USA, they live different but simple lives. They are very tough people and need NO technology if it was that way!

Run through the jungle!! What a lovely song!!

The way she pronounces bayou is so cute 🥺.

I grew up in the 60’s , 70’s when the best music was made. Al types of music that turn out to be the best ever

CCR are timeless classics they are always good 👍🏽

Their music can be classified as "swamp rock". Great reaction!

👍 Awesome choices! ... Does my old senior citizen (well, in two months) heart good! 🤗

My childhood music💪🏻😎

Ah, we were never bored, with great music like THIS to listen to! "BY-u's" are swamps & murky bays along the Mississippi River delta. A "hoodoo" is usually a small game animal, like an opossum or raccoon. This genre of music is called "swamp rock", & CCR had an affinity for it. Thanks for your reaction.

Carol, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, praise God for creating such a beauty 🥰🌹

So much soul

Check out this song live, from ,*Woodstock Festival*

A bayou is a shallow wetland kind of like a swamp but not as deep found around New Orleans and southern Louisiana.

Great job guys, and nice to see how much you enjoy these classics. I usually learn more about songs like this when getting other's perspective...also I see you haven't reacted to Eagles "Hotel California". Live version 1977 is great (144 million views), check it out , its like a "required viewing" for classic rock reaction channels...hope to see you reacting to this soon! I'm betting that Eagles Live will Absolutely blow your minds lol...

A bayou is a swampy area prevalent in New Orleans Louisiana, a hoodo there is a noise in the night, like a person sneaking around.

Don’t let the man get you and do what he done to me.

Glad to see folks discovering this group -- and all the other great groups of the 60s and 70s! Have fun!

I highly recommend CCR's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."

Love this og band 🔥🔥🔥

We were outside with people/ friends.. in person. Crusin the town. Playin good music like CCR in our 8 tracs😂😂

Love CCR. Also, do you remember the saying " if you remember the 60's, you weren't really there"?

good job great song

What blows my mind till this day how sure I was that this band was from here in south east Louisiana till the age 12 in 1985... I couldn't believe they wasn't from here, I was shocked..

Epic Song!

Despite what others may say in the comments, anyone who lives in the south knows that a bayou is not swamp. A bayou is a slow-flowing stream either along the coast that flows into a bay or a short tributary of a larger river. They're found in low-lying areas so they're often associated with swampy areas

Thanks!

The man in the song is the government or more specifically law enforcement.

Good old Raw music 😊

"The Man" is an American euphemism meaning a boss or authority figure, but usually more generally referring to the law or government. "Don't let the man get you" means don't run afoul of the law (or don't let a lawman catch you).

CCR great band listened to them since a teenager JOHN Forgery was lead singer also wrote all the songs for CCR I have a 73 RPM from 69

Great song! 😁🇺🇸

Actually their from CA. Still my favorite group ever since i started listening to them in 68. John Fogerty is a great singer and still performing. This was 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE so id I put a Spell on You Traveling Band Fortunate Son, Up around the Bend and more. Best of success on yr channel

I remember all these songs coming out new on the radio.

Hoo-doo's are mythical creatures that people in that region believe in. Kind of like bigfoot or the lock nest monster in other areas.

Only in America…Swamp Music! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You guys seem like a very sweet & happy couple. Music is something that can bring everyone together. Hi from Canada! 🇨🇦

Jonh Fogerty (singer and play de guitar and líder of CREADENS) and Juan Gabriel were very good friends. I love this song🎸❤

"Who's the man?" 6:06 You're so funny 🤣

More CCR Please do DOWN ON THE CORNER and SWEET HITCH HIKER and UP AROUND THE BEND !

You actually can see them! This year! John Fogerty (singer, guitarist, songwriter and leader of CCR) recently got the rights to his entire musical library back (a long twisting story of the treacherous music biz) and he's now on a CCR "Celebration Tour" with a full band, including his son (also a mighty guitar-slinger in his own right). Totally rejuvenated by getting his catalogue back, the 79 year old Fogerty seems ageless, running back and forth across the stage like a little kid, ripping off guitar leads like Jimmy Page, while vocally hitting every note and signature growl. I saw his show earlier this year and it's amazing; like stepping through a time machine! He rises out of the stage with the opening chords of "Bad Moon Rising", his body silhouetted against a giant full moon. As the crowd yells out their song requests, Fogerty assures them "Don't worry, we're going to play them all!" And he basically does, including favorite solo numbers like "Old Man Down The Road" and "Centerfield". He's on tour right now in Europe, hitting the U.S. again starting in late July. Don't miss it!

Fogerty and the band wrote and sang about serious socio-political and economic issues beyond the puppy love between a boy and a girl---like Bob Dylan, philosophers as well as artists...try "Wrote a Song For Everyone" "Who'll Stop the Rain","Fortunate Son", "Ramble Tamble"...a few more...

❤

Amen, we physically with our voices talked to eachother , looked eachother in the eye, didn't have roflol,ttyl or any other short forms of communication. Concerts didnt cost an arm and a leg. You could take your own booze in at alot of places. ( still had to sneek the weed, oh ummm...so i heard *looks around innocently*) if there was a fight, when the dust cleared ya drank a beer together and shook hands ( most times) . We put our girlfriends on our shoulders so they could see. Different times i guess

CCR a maior banda do mundo abraço do Brasil

We used our imaginations and had as much fun as possible without anybody knowing what we were up to...8).

You really need to review Jimmy Buffet. Changes in Attitudes, changes in Latitudes was one of his greatest hits, as was Cheeseburger in Paradise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

CCR is the best. Heard it through the grapevine, long version. I put a spell on you, best best version. Many of their songs are background for Vietnam War and many other movies and video games… on and on

They are actually from California!

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower (Official Audio)

"The Man" refers the boss, the government and society norms. That piece of information you pulled up is slightly wrong. John was not born in Southern California, or the bayou in the south eastern states, he was born in Berkeley, in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band rehearsed and recorded in that same city.

please, realize the year, the state of the world, was a trippy time

Live or Video 50s threw 80s 😊

That's it, I want your time machine. Oh, what se did back then when I was young was also wish we had a time machine. but you touched on one part of why the music back then was so good, it was controlled by the artists not the businessmen who just want a machine that cranks out profitable music. The artist cares about touching your heart. Chasing down a hoodoo there means chasing down the magic. Bayou is an area mostly southern Louisiana.

CCR isn't Cajun but they embody some of our Cajun culture 🇺🇲🇺🇲✌️✌️

More people need to listen to CCR!!!

'The Man' is the government. You never wanted The Man to be into your stuff! HooDoo is a religion many African slaves believed in the southern US. It's a mixture of many beliefs. In fact, it's much too complicated to explain, so look it up and you'll see what I mean. Many thanks, you two!

You should check out the Woodstock version of this. John didn't like the sound quality, but I think the raw energy made it really special! There is another video of CCR on a river boat party, at night, performing 'Bootleg', a real groove of a song of theirs. An original video.

yaa missed out on a great era young bro...was a blast...but if you were there, youd be old now like a lot of us here 😅

It might be helpful for you to do some research on the culture of the 60's and 70's to get a grasp on the connection with the music created back then. Don't forget to look into Woodstock Music Festival in 69.

Amazing how band from Northern California can sound like they came right out of the swamp. A WHO DO THERE is a Ghost. Now give Suzie Q a listen but not the radio edit go with the full version that came on the album

Can y'all react to some Dr. John songs like Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya , or Right Place Wrong Time?

A Bayou is just another name for a Swamp. The world was a much better place back in 1968 when this song came out. Everyone loved CCR. I remember it well being 69 years old now. Good times.

YOU PROBABLY HEARD ALOT THESE SONGS ON FOREST GUMP IF YOU EVER SEEN IT ALOT SOUTHERN ROCK IS PLAYED IN THAT MOVIE

Pronounced by ooo!😉👍

Where's my Creedence tapes man?

The long version is better

the Guess Who, American Woman - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adiPpMdj3t6to4E.htmlsi=83J_lR7qAbv6Rma9

please check Vanny vabiola. he is so amazing. an extraordinary singer from Indonesia. Many fans and communities will support and support your channel if you react to the songs. Trust me, your subscription will continue to increase

Nooo not from the Bay Area, born in the bayou. The alligator infested swamp region of the southern states. The dialect and people are Cajun of French descent. A "hoodoo" is like a backwoods voodoo boogieman, a swamp creature

Lyrics showed are bad. John's voice and his rock has been part of my life since I was a child. Almost every song of Creedence is very good or good at least. Greetings from Argentina.,

Wow... this is the SHORT version of the song. One should NEVER listen to the short version of this song! That is a crime!

"the man" is The Boss or The Authority🙂
