When CCR took the stage for two nights in April of 1970, the band members had reached the height of their international stardom and arrived ready to prove themselves as equals to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and the Beatles, who had announced their breakup just days before. Their performance—which included hits like “Born On The Bayou,” “Proud Mary,” "Fortunate Son," and “Bad Moon Rising”—was met with a 15-minute standing ovation and rave next-day reviews in the UK’s top publications.

More than 50 years after that legendary show, the original multitrack tapes have been meticulously restored and mixed by GRAMMY®-winning producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell. The 180g LP was mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios using half-speed technology for the highest-quality listening experience.

The film is directed by two-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Bob Smeaton (The Beatles Anthology and Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies) and narrated by Academy Award®-winning actor Jeff Bridges, the film takes viewers from the band’s earliest years together in El Cerrito, CA through their meteoric rise to fame. Featuring a wealth of unseen footage, Travelin’ Band culminates with the band’s show at the Royal Albert Hall—marking the only concert footage of the original CCR lineup to be released in its entirety.

Exclusive to CraftRecordings.com, a Super Deluxe Edition of the album includes the complete live set on two 180-gram LPs, mastered at 45-RPM, as well as on CD. A second CD features music from the film, including formative recordings from the band’s earliest incarnations (Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets and the Golliwogs), while the Blu-ray offers the complete 'Travelin’ Band' film, plus the digital album in hi-res and Dolby ATMOS® immersive audio. Limited to 5,000 copies worldwide, each individually numbered set is housed in a 12” x 12” box, with embossed gold foil detail, and includes a reproduction of the original 1970 tour program, a 17” x 24” poster, and a 16-page booklet, featuring an excerpt from Bridges’ voice-over script, which offers background on the band’s incredible path to the London show.

Thanks for the links, Rocker, looking foward to seeing the film if and when it comes out on DVD.

This is very cool! Probably repeating myself, but the footage of CCR at Woodstock has been one of my go-to YouTube videos for well over a year now, I can't get over how good they were and how and why Fogerty didn't want that to be released because he thought the performance was off. Fogerty himself had one of the absolute guitar highlights of the entire festival with his solo on "I Put A Spell On You"...an absolute jaw-dropper of a solo on his Rickenbacker. And the band was so tight. I'm excited to hear a full show live like this!

Just for CCR fans, I heard this over the summer and the first thing I thought of was how they nailed the CCR groove on this track, especially that Cosmo drum beat and sound. Marcus King, "Blood On The Tracks":

It was great to hear a current artist paying tribute to CCR like this.

Makes you wonder how they sounded when Fogerty was satisfied.
Have you heard the "Live at Woodstock"-CD from a couple of years back? I don't have the DVD but the sound on the CD is incredible. I won't even try to describe it because it would make me sound like an idiot.

CCR’s John Fogerty Talks New ‘Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall’ Album and Documentary
Time changes things. There were years there when John Fogerty, legendary frontman for the rock and roll band Creedence Clearwater Revival, harbored frustration toward some of the musical entities he was connected to closely, whether that was former band members, family, or record executives. But now that’s largely, if not entirely, all gone. Fogerty’s changed feelings can be summed up in a neat package when considering CCR’s newest release, a two-pronged album and documentary film featuring the music from the band’s now infamous performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
