Bruce covered the song 25 times ( soundcheck included )
1973-04-28 - COLE FIELD HOUSE, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK, MD
One show, triple bill, with Chuck Berry headlining, Jerry Lee Lewis second billed and Bruce and the band opening. A show now steeped in legend. Berry's contract stipulated that it was the promoter's responsibility to supply him with a backing band for this concert. Apparently Bruce learned about a week before the show that the promoter was seeking a group to support Berry and immediately volunteered his band's services for free which the promoter gladly accepted. There was no rehearsal or soundcheck with Berry, so Bruce and the boys improvised as best they could. Sadly there is no known audio of this show.

1988-05-06 - TACOMA DOME, TACOMA
During the " tunnel of love tour" . The soundcheck includes Slim Harpo's "
Rainin' In My Heart" (not the Buddy Holly song with the same title), "
Big Boss Man", "
Let It Be Me", "Cathy's Clown" and "
Crying In The Rain" (both also The Everly Brothers) and both "
Rock And Roll Music" and "
Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry. The second song of the soundcheck has historically been titled "The Way You Walk", however a little investigation has revealed it to be John Lee Hooker's "
Dimples". Perhaps Bruce had considered including the song in the Express Tour set, but instead settled on "
Boom Boom" which will be premiered four days after this show in Bloomington, MN.
