5/10
Not a documentary

Warning: Spoilers
While Netflix is "selling" this production as a documentary, you get just what they tell you in the title: CCR in the Royal Albert Hall.

So, 10+ for CCR but I'm giving just 5/10 for this production. I expected a DOCUMENTARY

The so called documentary is just some photos and comments about their earliest years and that's ok but not enough.

Some afterwords at the end about CCR will tell you about being by default, after The Beatles were gone, the greatest band by the end of 1971, and that's quiet true. But by 1972 they were gone.

Why they disbanded at the top of their glory? What happened to CCR? Why they disappeared?

What happened to John Fogerty? What happened with Fogerty's creativity? Being the author of most of CCR's biggest hits, he produced only one more or less significant song, The Old Man Down the Road, in 1984, accused by by producer Saul Zaentz being a plagiarism... of his own "Run Through the Jungle"

Probably most of the public doesn't know about his unique case of auto-plagiarism which reached the US Supreme Court.

After he won his case, his main repertory were still his CCR's hits.

Meanwhile the so called documentary covers only their concert. Assigning just 15 minutes to the movie as the epilogue of CCR might have given it the real documentary touch and not just a music video.
