CCR continued to tour incessantly with performances in July 1969 at the Atlanta Pop Festival and in August 1969 at the Woodstock Festival . Their set was not included in the Woodstock film or soundtrack because John Fogerty felt the band 's performance was subpar . Four tracks from the event ( out of a total of eleven ) were eventually included in the 1994 commemorative box set '' Woodstock : Three Days of Peace and Music '' . Stu Cook , however , held an opposing view , saying " The performances are classic CCR and I 'm still amazed by the number of people who do n't even know we were one of the headliners at Woodstock ' 69 . " John Fogerty later complained the previous band , the Grateful Dead , put the audience to sleep ; as John scanned the audience he saw a " Dante scene , just bodies from hell , all intertwined and asleep , covered with mud . " After Woodstock , CCR was busy honing material for a fourth album , '' Willy and the Poor Boys '' , released in November 1969 . " Down on the Corner " and " Fortunate Son " climbed to No . 3 and No . 14 , respectively , by year 's end . The album was CCR in its standard form , featuring Fogerty originals and two reworked Lead Belly covers , " Cotton Fields " and " Midnight Special " . Both of those songs had also been performed by actor Harry Dean Stanton in the movie '' Cool Hand Luke ''
