What happens

Travelin' Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall is a 2022 documentary film directed by Bob Smeaton. The film documents the origins of the American swamp rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival and their 1970 European tour, culminating in an April 14, 1970, performance at London's Royal Albert Hall. The movie takes its name from the band's song "Travelin' Band". A 40-minute history narrated by actor Jeff Bridges documents the band's formation in El Cerrito, California, their early efforts under as Tommy Fogerty & the Blue Velvets and The Golliwogs, and their signing by Fantasy Records. At the time they toured Europe, the Beatles broke up, leaving Creedence as, as Bridges puts it, "the biggest group in the world." After the history section, the entire 42-minute Royal Albert Hall concert is presented. The footage had not been seen prior to the release of the film on Netflix. It is the only concert footage of the original Creedence lineup to be released in its entirety. The film's release was accompanied by an album of the concert called At the Royal Albert Hall.
