Was there choogling?
Hah, YES! "Keep On Chooglin'" was where Fogerty was trading phrases with his son for a good bit of the song!
Also should mention a few more things:
1) This is the first time he's touring as the legal owner of his songs - I think that made him extra happy as it was mentioned several times.
2) Also, for a good selection of songs, he played with a guitar he used at Woodstock, including at least one classic that he wrote on it - after CCR broke up, some kid went up to him and asked if he could have one of guitars, and Fogerty in an admitted crazy move gave him that guitar gratis. Then like 45 years later, his wife asked him whatever happened to it, and he was too embarrassed to say. So without him knowing, she tracked it down and wrapped it for him as a surprise Christmas present.
3) He told the audience he had a special guest bassist for their final encore. Turns out, he didn't go far to get them, only one more block at Rockefeller Center - it was NBC news anchor Lester Holt.

This two CD mono ‘Singles Collection’ sounds so awesome. Wish I would have got it before. Just like with the Stones mono box, the original mono singles just thump.
Cosmo’s drumming definitely has the Phil Rudd and Charlie Watts beat the beat into the ground. Drums sound so much better on these old 60s mono mixes compared to the stereo ones.

I just treated myself to this set and absolutely agree.My whole family sat around listening to the difference between the remastered Spotify version of Green River and the mono single. Consensus was that the remastered stereo version sounds “more polished” but the mono version’s “got that dog” in it

After that I treated them to a 2-hour discourse on vinyl mastering which they all listened to in rapt fascination, best night of their lives

I love well made compilations like that. Will be on the lookout.
― brimstead, Friday, 19 January 2024 23:01 (three months ago) link
is there DVD material? i just have the 45s.
the booklet that comes with it is sadly pretty useless. written like a beginner's potted history. surely anyone enough of a lunatic to buy this is Heavily Into Creedence and wants session notes, oral histories etc

ohh ok there is I guess a bonus DVD with the 2xCD set? which is what I got b/c cheap

FWIW, Russ Gary (the engineer) once posted on another forum that the Green River singles are true dedicated mixes. The mono single mix for the song "Green River" alone really is amazing. Everything else might be folds though.
― birdistheword, Saturday, 20 January 2024 03:24 (three months ago) link
what are folds?
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 20 January 2024 09:46 (three months ago) link
Mono mixes that are electronically converted from the original stereo, rather than being mixed specifically to mono, or "dedicated" to mono.
― Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 20 January 2024 13:56 (three months ago) link
There used to be a button on stereo systems that would do this.
― Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 20 January 2024 13:57 (three months ago) link
It was right next to the Loudness button iirc

My Bluetooth headphones sometimes accidentally do those folds sometimes. Really a trip when listening to Olivia Rodrigo or something else clearly not mixed that way.

Bluetooth sometimes seems to have a mind of its own imho.

This compilation is on Tidal, and yeah, it sounds great. Might have to pick up a physical copy for the living room.
