A massive ensemble of musicians delivered an electrifying rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s classic tune “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”

The 1960s and 70s were a great time for music fans. Those decades provided some great, timeless tunes that are still widely played and heavily covered today. The chances are that any great, classic rock band or musician you would name was probably active in those decades.

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley and The Eagles were all in their heydays in those years. That’s just a tiny sampling of the groups turning out unforgettable tunes. Other groups such as Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac and The Beach Boys were also doing their thing in that timeframe.

Another group around during the 60s and 70s that has an endless collection of hits is Creedence Clearwater Revival. Their rock and country-infused songs, beautiful and incredibly catchy lyrics and John Fogerty’s distinctive voice create that unmistakable CCR sound. 

A clip posted on YouTube shows thousands of musicians combining their musical talents for an awe-inspiring performance of CCR’s beloved hit “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” 

“Someone told me long ago

There’s a calm before the storm

I know, it’s been comin’ for some time

When it’s over, so they say”

In the mind-blowing video, the guitarists accompany thousands of seats as they all strum on their instruments, playing the song. While the sound is fantastic, the sight of all those people playing in near-perfect coordination is magnificent. 

And it’s not just people who were alive when the song was first released who have joined in on the performance. The musicians are young, old, teenagers, children and everything in between. 

Not only did the musicians play their guitars, but they also lent their vocals, singing the lyrics first made famous by John Fogerty and CCR. 

This clip is a perfect example of how music can literally bring people together. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
