This and "Run Rudolph Run" comprise my entire CB collection. This anthology is good though. 50 songs, and all the hits, I imagine. Hey, wait a minute, Chuck doesn't sing "Around And Around" right. He's not ending every verse with "y'all." (Just a little joke there, Bob.)
Bob played the same Gibson model Berry's playing in that picture during many years. Before his "y'all" phase, of course.
Chuck Berry all day. Carl Sagan made sure that Chuck's music belongs to the cosmos. Not The Beatles nor Elvis, but Chuck Berry. Bon Voyage

Last night at MSG. A Jerry-like performance: 1 - solo before hitting main riff 2 - completely forgetting lyrics to first verse
That was awesome. Thanks. Those tickets for L.A. are muy expensivo unless it's the nosebleeds, and even those are 92 dollars last time I looked. Light shows these days are better than ever, I think.
I always liked this version on its own before I heard the original. I still have a hard time getting past that, the Wailers take is almost a flawless jewel in my book. That said, I really liked this take, the solo before was good and gave a bit more of a reggae feel. The body of the song was sooo fast, a lot of those mid 70s BMW live versions are really deliberate. The solo at the end was great, glad to see Clapton this way, the last time I was paying attention he was veering to top 40 R&B. He certainly brings it here.
This is absolutely great. Unfortunately, this line-up lasted only for a couple of months (until Bianca Odin -one of the main reasons why this is so great- left). Funky, bluesy, goofy but musically compelling and tight as hell. The rhythm section (Bozzio/O'Hearn) is amazing, as well as the vocal department with Bianca and Ray White, two of the most talented vocalist Frank ever had. Add the talents of Eddie Jobson and Frank and you get an outstanding combo. In contrast to what I feel about the following band Frank put together (the one portrayed in Sheik Yerbouti), this one worked on paper as well as it worked on tape.
Ace, by Bob Weir or "how to listen to Grateful Dead in disguise so you can post in the un-grateful thread". Believe it or not, I didn't have this on physical format until I received it as a birthday present this year. I don't need to tell you how good this one is, of course. Oh, and Donna singing on "Playing" is really great, you Donna detractors out there! (There's always one wandering around).
