Creedence Clearwater Revival’s timeless rock anthems have left an indelible mark on music history, and one of their hits took on a new dimension when 700 guitarists gathered to jam on it at a Romanian festival. The musicians, representing over 30 cities, came together to perform “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” at the Sibiu Guitar Meeting, creating an unforgettable and uplifting musical experience.
During the event, a band took the stage to provide vocals and maintain the rhythm, while a sea of audience members strummed their acoustic guitars in unison. Many of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s songs possess a universal quality that makes them perfect for mass singalongs and jam sessions like this one. The video of the performance, which has amassed 4.1 million views on YouTube, captures the energy and camaraderie of the moment.
The Sibiu Guitar Meeting took place at the picturesque Astra Museum from September 15 to 17, 2023. Organizers aimed to foster an appreciation for folk-rock culture among younger generations, with the guitar serving as a symbol of this musical tradition. Looking at the diverse crowd of enthusiastic attendees, it’s evident that they succeeded in their mission.
Fans of the performance showered it with praise, expressing sentiments such as, “I absolutely LOVE these gatherings of musicians in a single place making music to reach the Heavens! What a feeling of togetherness and happiness it gives.” The event not only showcased the power of music to unite people but also provided a platform for musicians to connect and share their passion for playing guitar.
