Johnny B. Goode
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

The band is on fire for this one. Some really good rock & roll. Another one of Keith's bright spots.
Johnny B. Goode
Dec. 15, 1972
Long Beach Arena

There's no letup in this beast. Jerry is on it from the start. Bob's vocals are passionate and intense. Phil ios there at all the right moments. Keith is working magic on those keys. Even Donna sounds good, blending in with everybody else. This is a must listen!
Johnny B. Goode
Dec. 2, 1971
Boston Music Hall

Good vocals from Bob and Jerry's rockin' out. One problem - Keith is really into this and sounds great - he tries to take the lead in the last instrumental break, but Jerry shuts him down. Not cool.
Johnny B. Goode
March 31, 1991
Greensboro Coliseum

More rockin' high energy from 1991. Bruce dominates this one.
Johnny B. Goode
April 8, 1991
Orlando Arena

High energy sustained throughout, all members into it and lifting it higher and higher. What more can be said? This song in 1991 was played at a really high level every time.
