    The Royal Albert Hall show captures the band at the absolute peak of its powers. ... 52 years after the fact you can see, more than ever, what all the fuss was about.

    Restored and mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell – who worked wonders with The Beatles’ Get Back footage – it’s a pristine listening experience, with little between-song chat. It showcases Creedence Clearwater Revival’s many strengths.

    The band's confluence of rough-edged workingman's rock and unique melodic character was arguably never stronger than in 1970, and At the Royal Albert Hall offers a snapshot of just how strong that combination could be on-stage.

    Over 50 years on, it remains a remarkable achievement, not just for its ambition but its execution. [Nov 2022, p.96]
  5. 60
    A sturdy but far from a revelatory example of Creedence rolling through a dozen hits and album tracks without much fuss and virtually no connection with the audience for a meager 42 minutes.
