Woody’s on the Beach may have been one of the coolest music clubs ever. Owned by Ron Wood (guitarist for the Rolling Stones and the Faces), it was a place where you could see amazing artists in an intimate setting, and you never knew who might show up.
Ronnie would frequently perform there with special guests, and Bo Diddley was somewhat of a regular. I tried to catch them together whenever they played. This particular instance, they were performing two nights, so I bought tickets to both shows.
Because Woody’s was a nightclub and the performances generally started late in the evening, many of the shows became a little fuzzy. But I have a clear memory of Ron and Bo on stage together, trading licks and basically having a great time.
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, I was able to locate the setlist from this show. Check it out, and be sure to check back for my somewhat less fuzzy memories of the second night!
Cheers!
Setlist:
- Mona
- Ooh La La
- Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
- Seven Days
- Too Late
- Black Limousine
- Diddley Daddy
- Money to Ronnie
- You Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover
- Lord Have Mercy

Just to see Ron Wood do Ooh La La would be enough for me. Too bad he doesn’t still own the bar. Sounds like a great place to see a show…now remembering it would be difficult lol.
Bo Diddley would have been so cool to see and seeing him with Ron Wood would be great. The stuff I’ve heard from him live has been raw as hell…I’m sure Wood would have been the same. To see them in that setting made it all the better.

Oh, totally. It was a great venue, and the shows were cheap. Actually caught Ron Wood with Willie Dixon there for like ten bucks.

I commented.. I did a quick search and found it. I’m glad you got to see Dixon even for just those few songs…and Keys would have been great.
