CREEDENCE
Not worth the wait

By ROBB HOLMLS
The first time Creedence
Clearwater Revival came to
Georgia was in July, 1969. On
that ocassion, the first Atlanta
pop festival, I was probably as
excited about hearing
Creedence as anyone in the
audience.
Creedence appeared, but
the hour was late and I was
weary, so 1 missed their set
that time. Monday night I
finally heard Creedence
Clearwater Revival in concert.
guitar work was not affected.
His set included “Tore Down,”
“See See Baby,” and his classic
instrumental “Hideaway.” It
was especially evident on the
last number that King has
changed his playing style to
keep up with the times. Once
an easy-going shuffle,
“Hideaway” is now done as a
frantic jam, a la Cream. All in
all. King's music was good, if
somewhat overly
commercialized.
Tony Joe White was next,
and he managed to play some
pleasant music. Excuse me for
my top fortyism, but the
outstanding song was “Polk
Salad Annie,” which sounded
much better without the horns
that marred the record.
Then it was Creedenee's
turn to regale the audience
with all of their greatest hits,
which is exactly what they did,
except that the audience was
not regaled. At least, not
entirely. At the first of
Creedence’s set most of the
audience seemed to be
enjoying the music, but before
the last song was over more
than half of the audience had
k-tt
TWO YEARS AGO
Creedence was the hottest
group in the country. Today
they’ve just put out their first
record in well over a year. In
their inactivity they lost much
of their audience, and what
audience is left wants to hear
only their older songs.
Of the nineteen songs
Creedence performed, thirteen
were big hits from their past.
Although some of their new
material was well-done, it was
overshadowed by the older
songs. I was reminded of many
once-great groups who outlive
their popularity and spend the
rest of their lives playing
medleys of their hits.
Creedence needs many
things. They need a new
guitarist to replace brother Tom
Fogerty. They have good new
material, but they need a more
understanding audience.
Mainly, they need a miracle.
