Not my favorite way for Jerry to play it, but it still rocks.

Jerry is all over the map with the lyrics.

It would be better if they played it a little faster.

Nassau Coliseum

Probably the most hated song they played - even moreso than Day Job.

Johnny B. Goode
April 5, 1995
Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum

It's almost as if they knew this would be the last time they played it and they went all out, given it was 1995. Bob's vocals are strong and Vince shines. It's worth a listen.

Civic Center

Jerry and Brent are sounding good and lead the way through the instrumental breaks.

Madison Square Garden

Jerry's guitar solo is laid back and mellow. When it's Brent's turn, he eventually ups the tempo with a nice solo.

The Spectrum

Bob's voice is shot and that takes a lot away from this. Also, it's rather sluggish. The instrumental break, Vince steps on Bruce's work and Jerry needs to be bailed out. His diminishing skills show on this one.
Johnny B. Goode

Shoreline Amphitheatre

There's some really good action on the keys during the final instrumental break, with Jerry taking over to close that part out. For a while there, you'll think it's Brent playing.
