Creedence Clearwater Revisited was an American rock band formed in 1995 by bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, former members of Creedence Clearwater Revival, to play live versions of that band's music. The duo began jamming regularly after Cook bought a house near Clifford's home in Lake Tahoe, leading to the formation of the band despite Clifford considering himself retired at the time. Initially, they had no intention of performing publicly but were persuaded by a friend to play a few concerts. In 1998, the band released their debut album Recollection, featuring live versions of Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. This album was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 2007. Throughout their career, Creedence Clearwater Revisited toured extensively across North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Asia. In April 2019, Clifford and Cook announced they would retire from touring following a farewell tour. The band’s last performance was on February 29, 2020, in Aguascalientes, Mexico, with further touring suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
