The documentary Travelin’ Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall was recently released on Netflix. It centers around the band’s late 60’s rise from a struggling California rock n’ roll band to global superstardom by 1969. The centerpiece is a 1970 concert played at London’s Royal Albert Hall, at the height of the band’s popularity, and in the wake of the shocking breakup of The Beatles. Since its release, Travelin’ Band has received rave reviews and viewers are recommending it to fellow music fans.
