Sobre el álbum
El álbum Concerto in B Goode, de 1969, es una de las obras más ambiciosas y conceptuales de la carrera de Chuck Berry. El disco está dominado por la pieza que le da título, un "concierto" de rock de casi veinte minutos que ocupa toda una cara del vinilo. Chuck Berry se adentra en el terreno del rock progresivo y la jam session, un formato muy popular a finales de los 60.
En esta larga suite, el artista utiliza su clásico "Johnny B. Goode" como punto de partida para una extensa improvisación de guitarra y blues. La pieza es un escaparate de su virtuosismo como guitarrista, aunque a veces puede resultar algo repetitiva. Por otro lado, la segunda cara del álbum contiene canciones más cortas y convencionales.
'Concerto in B Goode' es un álbum desigual pero fascinante. Demuestra el deseo de Chuck Berry de ser visto como un artista serio y no solo como un creador de éxitos de tres minutos. Es un experimento audaz que lo conecta con las corrientes más expansivas del rock de su época.

Letra
Last night as I lay me down in bed Over and over I heard the last words my woman said Take me with you, I'm so lonesome But I choose to leave instead Yesterday, she came to me and held my hand Said she was blue and oh so lonesome And would I try to understand I didn't know till this morning How much my woman means to me This morning when I got home, she was not there I noticed her clothes were gone And a little note lay on my shelf Said as you read this, I love you still But I'll be gone, I don't know where Today I got the blues and I got 'em bad Last night as I lay sleeping My conscious will not go to rest Yesterday I lost the best woman I ever had One of these days, can't say where and I don't know when It may be in time, it may be soon It may be in a place I've never been But I'm gonna find that fine woman And together with her again - It's Too Dark in There3:50
