I like to think of it as character development. In the beginning Marty is afraid of rejection and that he'll never have a chance to play his music. Over the course of the film, he has to help George with his own fear of it. By helping George, he, in turn, is learning to deal with his own. Getting on stage gives him this opportunity, and by playing this song, Marty finally opens up and is able to express himself without worrying what people will think of him.

Something interesting is that George and Marty both got over their fears of rejection in this scene. George overcame being rejected by Lorraine by kissing/dancing with her,and Marty overcame his fear of not being a good enough guitar player and get rejected by the crowd. So Marty not only fixed his dad's fate,but also his,as he got more confident since he played on that stage. A cool parallel between father and son.

Fun music fact:

For the people who keep asking how a band could possibly know the back-up instrumentals to a song no one has ever heard before, Marty says to them right before he starts "its a blues riff in B and watch me for the changes". The "blues riff" is a common progression of chords used in blues and jazz songs throughout that particular era that any band would know especially in the 50's, and to basically follow his lead. Johnny B Goode is actually a pretty simple song to play along to if you know the key and the blues riff.

@spice_krispies

FALSE.
First of all it's obviously just a bandage scribbled with red marker to look like blood.

Second, it's not even placed where it would hinder an experienced guitarist from playing basic cords. Should have been across the finger tips, where the pain would be excruciating to play.

My parents ditched the TV antenna for this new thing available to us, 36 cable channels of pure bliss plus a VCR! Let me tell you something, for a kid in the early 80's that kind of rapid explosive change available to me was mind blowing and I embraced it loving every minute of it knowing that I was living in a great times that past generations could not have experienced.

I know. I mean, Back to the Future is the perfect movie series, as someone said in the comments. I suppose Rocky and Bloodsport are tied for being perfect movies also. And you have Flight of the Navigator, and Terminator 1 and 2. These movies didn't have the best computer graphics, but they were masterpiece movies that had a type of timeless creativity that has never been matched in the new movies. New movies have the amazing computer graphics, but the gritty realism of the 1980's really hits you in a different way. It feels like Hollywood has tried to avoid giving people realistic alien and time travel movies now days, and instead they give people morbid sci-fi movies that are based around fear and death. The 1980's Sci-FI movies gave people inspiration and the movies were not horror films.
