January 31, 1970. The Oakland Arena. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Booker T and the MGs. A preshow jam session. You have to see these YouTube videos!
After a hilarious intro, John Fogerty trades licks with Steve Cropper before the show:

But the highlight is Creedence totally wailing on "Fortunate Son" and then a segue straight into "Commotion." One of the greatest American rock bands of all time. No question about it.
