Perhaps my favorite Chuck show...i used to get to see him regularly when i lived next to BBH. This was early on in what has turned into quite the tradition at BBH (I think this was the fourth show in the initial run held in the Elvis Room> first being Oct '96).

Longest show I've ever seen him do (2 Sets???!) with Johnnie to boot. He always seemed to play better when he had Johnnie Johnson by his side...
Remarkable setlist (Havana Moon, South of the Border, At Last, even an attempt at Cottage for Sale)....and as always an appreciative hometown crowd...though at times you have to wonder why they just don't shut the f@#k up and listen to Chuck and Johnnie do their thing....

enjoy
