CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVISITED
|
|
|
1996 we got to see them at the "Tanzbrunnen" in Cologne. 1998 we went to two concerts in Bonn and Offenbach! When we arrived Friday at the "Museumsplatz" in Bonn, we were suprised: We just crossed the square and stepped to the stage and there we were. At the soundcheck!!! Easy as that! |
|
SOUNDCHECK: |
|
| John Tristao, vocals,
rythmguitar:
John Tristao plays a "Fender Thinline Telecaster".
|
Steve Gunner,
keyboard, acoustic guitar, percussion:
Steve, here with his "Taylor" guitar, plays a "Korg- keyboard". |
| Elliot Easton,
lead guitar:
Elliot plays two "Fender Custom Shop Stratocasters", a standard tuned white one, and a D-tuned green one on songs like "Grapevine", "Midnight Special", "Bad Moon Rising" and "Proud Mary". |
Stu Cook,
bass guitar:
Stu plays a white, five-string "Modulus Graphite" guitar.
|
| Doug "Cosmo" Clifford,
drums:
Doug uses a unidentified red drum set. In any case it was not the black YAMAHA- set, he used two years ago at the "Tanzbrunnen" in Cologne. |
|
| We'd like to thank Wolfgang Vornhof, who, with knowledge an the eyes of an eagle, analyzed all the band's equipment! | |
| As early as the soundcheck the band members already are in a chooglin' mood, joking around and laughing. The whole time, no security is interested in us, so we are able to look, listen and take a lot of pictures! But the highlight of the day is still forthcoming: | |
THE CONCERT |
|
|
Wholly in the style of CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL concerts in the past, today the opener is "BORN ON THE BAYOU"!
Actually, "Wholly in the style of CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL" is the motto
of "CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVISITED". In response to this demand the band does an exellent job! The enthusiastic audience is celebrating a pure "Rock 'n' Roll" concert! |
|
| Elliot and John: Never ending guitar sound |
|
|
"The
Show must go on!" |
|

| Watching Steve from far: Blond curly head just like Tom Fogerty. |

Elliot and Stu during their great " showdown" on "Heard It Through the Grapevine". Introduced by Elliot's guitar solo, they jammed together and Stu hung on an inspired bass solo that blew the audience away!

What a superb concert! CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVISITED is an exellent live band! They played all songs clean and exactly, and didn't miss a note. After about 30 years of making music together Doug Clifford and Stu Cook are a fine team; something you don't find too often. They integrate Elliot, Steve and John into it and so create a really homogeneous band. REVISITED was even very good back in 1996. But they have not only celebrated partys since then - they kept working on their sound. The result speaks for itself! |

AFTER SHOW |

| Doug and Lutz | |
| The relaxed atmosphere
of the day continues after the show. Though some of us had a problem with
wrong backstage tickets, with a little help from
Manfred Petri and Stu Cook himself all fanclub members get to the backstage party
eventually!
Doug and Stu welcome us with a box filled with
ice cold beer! What a cool "upbeat" ! |
