At the Royal Albert Hall
2022 live album by Creedence Clearwater Revival
At the Royal Albert Hall is a 2022 live album recorded in 1970 with American swamp rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. The performance was released as an album to coincide with the documentary film Travelin’ Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall, directed by Bob Smeaton. The recordings document the band's first European tour and feature footage that has never been released; the album includes the entire set recorded on April 14, 1970. An earlier live album, The Concert, released in 1980, was initially erroneously titled The Royal Albert Hall Concert, but actually documented a completely different CCR show in Oakland, California, three months before their UK tour.
Reception
Writing for Variety, Jem Aswad praises both the album and documentary for capturing the band at their peak. John Aizlewood of Classic Rock rates the album four out of five, highlighting all of the individual member's contributions to the band, as well as the "pristine listening experience" due to the technical personnel preparing the recordings for listening. AllMusic's Fred Thomas gave a positive review pointing out the upbeat performances that are "flawlessly executed and crackling with energy".
