To me it looked like the drummer was driving John nuts at the first - seems like John is feeling it faster and giving him the "C'mon man" vibe.The ol' tube amp tremolo strikes again. Those are funny, I have one on an Alamo amp and it's fun to mess with.Mixolydian tunes always sound funny. Ode to Billy Joe, Lime in the Coconut, the subtonic gives it a sick vibe.I didn't know that was Fogerty's favorite CCR tune. I remember being happy when I heard Paul McCartney say that "Maybe I'm Amazed" was, he thought, his best tune, 'cause I always did. And how bizarre that after the Paul and John write what is possibly their best work (John with "Imagine") after the Fab Four break up.

I read an interview with Doug Clifford and regarding the 18" hi hats, he said "the smaller sizes just didn't cut through the amplification back then..."I moved from 14" to 15" after that...18" seemed a bit much, though.And, from the same interview... "Be musical. Don't be a drum machine or a metronome. Find the beat; there are times when you should be right before, times when you're on the beat, and there are times when you should be ahead." (He says he learned that from Al Jackson Jr.)Sweet video!
