1972: The End Of An Era

October 16th, 2009

On this day in 1972, John C. Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival went their separate ways. One of the best bands ever. I could listen to CCR anytime. Driving, walking, working in the yard, writing a diet pill review, you name it.

Despite the relatively poor reception of Mardi Gras and deteriorated inter-group relationships, the band immediately embarked upon a two-month, 20-date U.S. tour. Hecklers reportedly pelted the band with coins at the final stop of the tour on May 22 in Denver.[citation needed] Finally, on October 16, 1972 – less than six months later – Fantasy Records and the band officially announced the disbanding of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
