The Concert (Creedence Clearwater Revival album)

The Concert is the second live album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in October 1980. It was recorded at the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Arena in Oakland, California, on January 31, 1970.

Overview

Originally, the album was mistakenly titled The Royal Albert Hall Concert. When it was discovered that it was not, in fact, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, it was renamed for later reissues. A Cash Box magazine news article dated January 31, 1981, provides a summary of the mistake:

The album reached No. 62 on the Billboard 200 in 1981. It was awarded gold status (500,000 units sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America on February 27, 1986, and platinum status (1,000,000 units sold) on September 30, 1996.
