About
CCR Classic Creedence Revisited is a tribute band for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
Swamp rock, done faithfully. Classic Creedence Revisited is a Newcastle tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty, played by experienced professional musicians who treat the catalogue with care rather than as a covers-night afterthought. Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son and Have You Ever Seen the Rain all land the way the records did, and the sets are rebuilt for each venue instead of recycled. Shows run as two 60 minute sets, a 90 minute concert set with an optional support slot from The Elwoods playing 60s and 70s classic rock, or a single festival set. The full concert production includes video playback behind the band.
Watch
The show
Two hours or so of Creedence and John Fogerty, played by people who clearly love the catalogue. Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, Have You Ever Seen the Rain: the big ones are all in, and they're played faithfully rather than reinterpreted. The band pitch it as a proper concert, not a pub covers slot, with the emphasis on getting the musicianship right. Works for a crowd that was there the first time and for their kids, which is more than most tribute shows manage.
On the day
Minimum stage is seven metres by four, with power and a dressing room. A screen behind the band is needed for the video playback. Catering for five: a bistro meal or platter is fine, with bottled water, soft drink and beer. If the venue is more than a couple of hours drive from Newcastle, accommodation gets included in the booking. A full technical spec sheet can be sent through.
Performance options
For a club or pub night, two 60 minute show sets of Creedence and Fogerty material. For a bigger room, one 90 minute concert set with a 40 minute support slot from The Elwoods playing 60s and 70s classic rock ahead of it. Festivals get a single 60 minute set.
