This Week In Concert on Volt Radio

Creedence Clearwater Revival & Smokie Take Centre Stage

Get ready for another unforgettable edition of In Concert on Volt Radio, where two legendary bands from different eras of classic rock deliver live performances that have stood the test of time.

First up is Creedence Clearwater Revival – The Concert, the remastered recording of their electrifying performance at the Oakland Coliseum on 31 January 1970. Captured at the height of the band's phenomenal success, this live album showcases John Fogerty and the band in outstanding form, delivering powerhouse performances of classics including "Born on the Bayou," "Green River," "Fortunate Son," "Travelin' Band," "Proud Mary," and many more. With their unmistakable swamp rock sound, driving rhythms, and unforgettable guitar work, this concert remains one of the finest live recordings in rock history.

Following CCR, travel across the Atlantic for Smokie – Live The Concert, recorded in Essen, Germany, on 10 March 1978. Known for their melodic rock sound and worldwide hits, Smokie captivate the audience with timeless favourites such as "Living Next Door to Alice," "If You Think You Know How to Love Me," "Lay Back in the Arms of Someone," "Needles and Pins," and "Oh Carol." Their polished musicianship, rich harmonies, and energetic stage presence make this concert a wonderful snapshot of one of the UK's most successful rock bands during their peak years.

From the gritty Southern rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival to the melodic anthems of Smokie, this week's In Concert promises an evening packed with classic songs, memorable performances, and the excitement that only live music can deliver.

Don't miss In Concert this week on Volt Radio—where legendary live performances continue to keep the spirit of classic rock alive.
