  In January 1986, George Harrison made a rare live appearance at a charity concert, performing "Johnny B. Goode" as part of a star-studded finale that included artists like ELO and The Moody Blues. This performance came after a significant hiatus from live performing; Harrison had not toured since his 1974 tour with the George Harrison Band. By this time, he had been focusing primarily on his solo career, having released albums such as *Dark Horse* (1974) and *Extra Texture (Read All About It)* (1975). Notably, before this concert, he had also released the critically acclaimed album *Cloud Nine* in 1987, which marked a comeback in his career and featured the hit single "Got My Mind Set on You." This makes the 1986 concert a pivotal moment, signifying his gradual return to public performances and his renewed energy in the music industry.
