John Fogerty

John Fogerty recalls the song started to develop during a quick soundcheck at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco about spring 1968: "I plugged in to my amp and I started hearing an E7th chord with that swampy vibrato that I was making on my little Kustom amp. It just turned me on to be standing there – I was so excited that I was playing in front of a real audience in San Francisco; I was just charged; and suddenly, I was inspired. I turned to the band and said “just start playing E”, and I started screaming at the top of my range, just a melody and vowel sounds and consonants. --- Then suddenly, right in the middle of having this burst of inspiration, it went silent. The stage manager had pulled the plug out of my amplifier. I looked at him and said, “Why’d you do that?”, and he said, “Don’t worry about that, you’re not going anywhere anyhow.” --- I looked at him and said, “Not going anywhere? You give me a year, pal, and I’ll show ya who’s not goin’ somewhere!”" (John Fogerty on his official site in 1997).

Also, while they used Kustoms on several of the songs, they made equal use of Fender Vibrolux Reverb amps. The Vibroluxes had been tweaked a little bit by the band’s guitar tech. With the 2 10 inch speakers being replaced with a single 12 Inch JBL D120 Speakers in each amplifier. It also had the pre-amp modded for more gain. Fogerty often comically referred to his Modded Vibrolux as “Fat Albert” due to the new JBLs weight which made the amps very heavy. But the two amps are the guitar tone of the album for the most part.
