Creedence Clearwater Revisited will be performing at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Friday, May 2 at 8 p.m.
Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford may not have intended it, but their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited has taken on a startling life of its own. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section from the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits.
Though the pair initially only planned to play private parties, Creedence Clearwater Revisited now performs up to 100 shows a year.
The band has also released a live double CD Recollection, which features passionate versions of 22 classic hits as the result of public demand.
Some of the featured hits include “Susie Q,” “Lodi,” “Proud Mary,” “Down On The Corner,” and “Who’ll Stop The Rain.” “It was generated by requests of the people who came to the shows,” Stu acknowledges. “Over and over they would ask, ‘do you guys have a CD?’” Creedence Clearwater Revisited’s Recollection has proven so popular that in 2008 the RIAA certified it Platinum.
Having toured North America, South America, Central America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Asia, knocking out audiences with astounding concerts jam packed with songs that are still a staple of radio, television and movie soundtracks, Creedence Clearwater Revisited has come a long way.
