Hey Mr. Johnson was recorded by Styx about Johnnie Johnson.

The Video isn't very good but the audio is fine.

Hey, where's this from? Johnnie Johnson was a piano god.
Is this new or a few years old?

The 2120 sessions was about 5 years ago.

Hello Friends,

Oh what a night it was. The show tonight at the Vic Theater in Chicago was one for the STYX History Book.

For one thing, it was the first time we have performed in the actual city limits since 1983 (remember, like most other major cities, the big Chicago amphitheater is out in the suburbs). Then add Johnnie Johnson (who joined us for the first ever live performance of "Hey Mr. Johnson") and Koko Taylor (who, along with Johnnie and the band belted out her classic "Wang Dang Doodle" and "Sweet Home Chicago") as well as a few of our favorite covers thrown in for excitement, and you had over 2 hours of sheer delight.

I don't know who had more fun, you or us, but if you all were anywhere near our experience it won't soon be forgotten.

Chuck Panozzo flew up from South Beach to join in the fun and before it was over we had ourselves a Wang Dang Doodle, all night long.

Thank you Chicago for making it so.
