John Fogerty has spoken candidly over the years about his complicated feelings toward that night, noting the band played at 3am to a rain-soaked crowd and that he wasn’t satisfied with the performance at the time. That long-held ambivalence kept this set in the vault for five decades, making its official release a genuine surprise and a crucial piece of the Woodstock story that had been missing from the historical record.

This long sought-after release celebrates the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, by giving fans a front-row seat to relive CCRs stirring, hour-long set as it was performed that historic night in August of 1969. Kicking off with Born on the Bayou, the album features the bands biggest singles of the day, plus selections off their first three LPs, including Commotion, Ninety-Nine and a Half (Wont Do) and Bootleg. Full of creative energy, John, Tom, Stu, and Doug delve deep into their music, playing extended improvisations of I Put a Spell on You, Keep on Chooglin and Suzie Q.
