| You guys, even heard of it ? | |
| Mikemcf31 -- 11/04/2004, 09:15:01 -- #8616 | |
| Yes! I've heard of it. It's a classic written by John Fogerty (CCR). I've seen it covered many times by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band in concert. I dont have the transcription though... | |

| Thanks, The original is actually by a band called Status Quo. I think Frank Rossie wrote it. | |

| This is what I googled: Rockin' All Over The World Status Quo Music & Lyrics : John Fogerty Notes : Written by John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) in 1975 | |

| Good heavens - I'm the same as zands - I would have sworn that the Quo wrote that tune - especially after a pint or two - just checked www.allmusic.com though, and Mikemcf31 is dead right. PS Point of Trivia, if aging memory cells serve - this is the song that opened the UK Live Aid | |
| Mikemcf31 -- 11/09/2004, 06:50:20 -- #8781 | |
| Gordon, I believe you are right.. that song opened Live Aid. I recall the Boomtown Rats followed Status Quo and did, among other things, I Don't Like Mondays- another great song. I remember I bought Live at Knebworth just for Rockin All Over the World. | |

| OH MY GOSH ! You are completly right, i had absoulutly no idea it was jon fogerty !!!!! Gordan : are you english ? | |

| Re the piano intro - if I recall right, it's a variation on the boogie woogie opening - I played it in C - the piano part started on a straight Eb, then goes down to the D, then to the Db before landing on C. I think those are straight triads with an octave on top. It then goes to a standard turnaround G7 before beginning the song. It's pretty much straight boogie from there on. - | |
