Around and Around

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This quite possibly could be the worst version ever. It walks a fine line between being brilliant or horrible - depending on your preference. I think it's horrible. It's the Around that a cheezy lounge act at the Holiday Inn would play. If Chuck Berry were dead, he would be rolling over in his grave. That being said, everybody should listen to this.

This is a really great version. Rock & roll, man. If you hear something that sounds like someone's beating a wet cat, there's no need to call PETA - that's just Donna.

This is just sick. Jerry starts bending notes, jumping from one boogie to the next, peak after peak. The phrase "Tore the house down!" or "Showstopper!" would apply. I would rank this as the best.

A nice version, yes, but a runaway leader for the best version ever? No. 9-21-72 hits some insane peaks and features some serious boogie.

Keith is playing lead piano and Jerry is playing backup guitar.
