One of the most notable bands to soundtrack the '60s was Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR).
The California band rose to heavy prominence with their bluesy sound, and lyrics that often resonated with the events of the time. These qualities, along with lead singer John Fogerty's iconic vocals, lead the band to superstardom, with two chart-topping albums in "Green River," and "Cosmo's Factory." Many of their iconic songs became synonymous with the decade, such as "Fortunate Son," or "Proud Mary."
One of the biggest events in the '60s music scene was the Woodstock music festival. Many artists had career-defining performances there. CCR is not one of the bands known for having a performance at the legendary venue, but as it turns out, they did in fact play Woodstock.
In a recent TikTok post, the band revealed some new, little known facts about their forgotten performance at the festival.
@theofficialccr? Did Creedence Clearwater Revival play Woodstock? Yes… but you probably didn’t see it. ? @John Fogerty, has said they played late at night (around 3 a.m.) after the Grateful Dead, and the crowd was mostly asleep or unresponsive by then. A recording of their Woodstock set was eventually released in 2019, on the 50th anniversary of the festival. #ccr #clasicrock

Despite the fact that nobody paid much attention to their set, CCR is still one of the most celebrated bands of the '60s, and people will appreciate their music for years to come.
