It's a 70's polyester revival; John Denver and group playing Chuck Berry's Johnnie B. Goode on you tube [ posted by petermfh59].

John Denver is a talented musician and here we see him playing in Japan. Can he and his back up pals pull off Johnny B. Goode in 1981 dressed in 1970's Disney costume style country western polyester?

Just for insurance how about adding super guitar playing legend James Burton the ultimate guitar backup to handle the guitar solos on Johnnie B Goode. Burton played back up for Elvis and Ricky Nelson and is billed as one of the finest to ever touch a fretboard. Here Burton backs up John Denver in Japan.

John Denver is good but James Burton on backup solo for Johnnie B. Goode is sensational. A good backup man needs consummate timing to stay in the backlights but make the lead look and sound good.

Good backup is always real good.
