Finally Found It!, Jan 20 2011
By Johnny G - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Concerto in B G (Audio CD)
I have been searching for this record for 33 years! I heard it on a local radio station a LONG time ago. Concerto in B Good fuses Chuck's cool guitar with the spirit, funk and fun of Jimi Hendrix. I have looked in record stores, book stores, junkyards ... even on the internet! Finally, December 2010, there it was on Amazon. No hesitation. I bought it, got it and it was as good as I remembered!Update March 2011: Strange days indeed! So after my quest was solved (see above), I found myself digging through the bins of used vinyl in my local Used Book and Record store ... under "Berry, Chuck" ... 33 1/3 LP record, "Concerto in B. Goode" ... at a low low price of $5.00! Double goode!

Traditional and Modern blues by Chuck, '68, May 15 2008
By Phil S. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Concerto in B G (Audio CD)
Many of us have seen the Toronto Concert on VHS and DVD in which the Father Of Rock And Roll played a long, fairly standard set of familiar CB chants and licks. Probably, the newest album available in the record shops (there used to be such places) was "Concerto In B Goode".....which contained mostly blues and one extended (and exciting) jam."Good Looking Woman" commemorates Elmore James, with "bottle-neck" effects and typically engagaing Berry lyrics over a soft shuffle. "My Woman", more traditional, a subdued statement. "It's Too Dark In There", which came up in an interview with Rolling Stone at the time, is a blues/funk, again in low gear, but not bad...wouldn't use it on a "Best Of" collection...a curiosity...something different which Berry controls beautifully. "Put Her Down", a slow, melancholy song, again nothing to compare with the classics - another original blues worth hearing.
The big showcase is 18:44 of the title tune, one of his best efforts in the studio, interestingly enough, not in the blues boogie framework of the tune's partial namesake. It's another one of those Berry Mercurys dismissed by the critics. Why? Maybe people believed that the engineers got too much into that atmospheric-stereo-really-cool-on-headphones deal (we go from dry to wet echo in fast swoops) but the composition itself and the musical execution is fabulous. Still, the electronics are tasteful and actually create a multi-dimensional sound image. I don't know if Chuck plays all the g-boxes on this finale, but it's got beat and melody cookin' all the way through. How many 18+ minute jams can really keep you involved?
Overall, a Berry fan/historian collectible. Some parts a little "quiet", others...rockin'!
[Important note: this is not a live in concert recording).
