Steve Smith: Johnny Rivers delivers hit-filled set at Whisky a Go Go





Live at the Whisky




50 Year Anniversary of the Whiskey a Go Go

On Wednesday, January 15, 2014, an historic concert was held at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, CA commemorating Johnny Rivers' opening night at the Whiskey a Go Go exactly 50 years before. Johnny looked and sounded great. Here is the final encore - Bob Marley's "One Love" and the traditional folk song "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" Here is the song list that I recall "Midnight Special," "Seventh Son," "Chicago Bound," "Down at the House of Blues," "The Snake," "Poor Side of Town," "Summer Rain," "Memphis," "Maybellene," "Mountain of Love," "Secret Agent Man," "Baby I Need Your Lovin," "Swayin' to the Music," "Tracks of My Tears," "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu," "Another Lullaby" (duet with Jimmy Webb), "Route 66," "Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On."
