“Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” is one of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s most iconic songs, and it shines beautifully in the Cosmo’s Factory/Fogerty’s Factory performance. Filmed in an intimate, homey setting during the lockdown, John Fogerty is joined by his kids – Shane, Tyler, and Kelsy – turning this classic into a warm family jam. John, sitting with his guitar, kicks off the song with that familiar, gentle strum, his voice sounding as soulful and timeless as ever.
His kids back him up on guitar, bass, and drums, smiling and clearly having fun, giving the performance a joyful, relaxed energy. The room is filled with instruments, amps, and music gear, making it feel like you’re watching a family practice session rather than a formal show.
As they sing the famous chorus together, their harmonies create a rich, heartfelt sound that makes the song feel fresh and alive. This version not only honors the spirit of CCR’s original recording but also shows how music can bring family together, even in challenging times.
As the song builds, you can see how much fun the Fogerty family is having — John grins proudly as his kids lock in perfectly on their instruments, and there’s an easy, natural chemistry that makes the performance special. The camera occasionally cuts to close-ups of John’s guitar playing, highlighting his signature style that made CCR a rock legend. When they hit the final chorus, everyone joins in with big smiles, turning it into a sing-along that feels warm and personal.
The sound is crisp but not overproduced, giving it that classic, rootsy CCR vibe. When the last note rings out, John gives a little nod, almost like saying, “That’s how it’s done,” and his kids laugh, clearly thrilled to share the moment with him. It’s a simple performance, but it captures the heart of the song — hope, togetherness, and a love for music that never fades.CategoriesMusic
