Creedence Clearwater Revival Royal Albert Hall

For decades, rumors have circulated among Creedence Clearwater Revival’s fans about a long-lost recording of their legendary 1970 show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Today, the long-fabled performance is available in its entirety on multiple formats (available below) as Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall. Coinciding with the album release, the new documentary concert film, Travelin’ Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall, is available now streaming on Netflix.

Having conquered the charts with 3 top twenty hits, including a UK number one the previous year, the band finally embarked on their first European tour. This live date from this tour at The Royal Albert Hall London on 14th April 1970, includes all those hits and more including an incredible climatic 8 minute blues jam version of Keep On Chooglin’. The tracks from this set are included here in audio music form, as well as enhanced video track format.

Initially named "The Blue Velvets" the band was founded by singer/guitarist, John Fogerty in 1959. Renamed "Credence Clearwater Revival" in 1967, C.C.R. went onto achieve massive public attention with their debut, self-titled album in 1968. This DVD features their amazing performance at the Royal Alabert Hall, London in 1970, two years prior to their eventual break up in 1972. A rare complete live performance from one of the pillars of American rock music.

In 1970, Creedence Clearwater Revival were one of the most popular bands in the world. Since releasing their debut album just two years prior, the group had been on a nonstop tear of writing hits and prolifically releasing new material, consistently landing in the upper reaches of the charts as the Woodstock generation came into being. By the time CCR embarked on their first European tour in April 1970, their last two albums had cracked the Top Ten in the U.S., they had multiple singles getting constant radio airplay, and the Beatles had just announced their breakup, making room for this hardworking group from El Cerrito to take their place as the biggest band in all of rock. Released in conjunction with the documentary film Travelin' Band, At the Royal Albert Hall unearths long-shelved audio from one of the group's two concerts on their first European jaunt at the legendary venue, and gives a glimpse of both the band in their prime and the electricity that took them to the top.
