Without chuck berry and little Richard there is no such thing as rock and roll music to build on

[@Dave_Langer]

Dont forget Marty McFly. Without him there is no Chuck Berry

[@davidadams2478]

I played piano for Chuck one night in Raleigh NC back in the late 80s..he hit on my wife..and she told him she was married to his piano player..he smiled and told her "He's Good!

Doesn't the audience realize they are in the presence of a founder of rock and roll? A legend.

One of the founding fathers of Rock and Roll. Nobody like him before or since.

Angus Young admitted Chuck Berry was his primary influence. Angus' duck walk is the same as Chuck Berry in the 1970s.

Most guitar players look at their instrument but Chuck looks at the audience even while playing one of the most epic intros in history!

[@paolovaleriobellotti3439]

Maybe he should have... Just to have it in tune here and there. I mean nobody wants it perfect, but neither we want a Sonic Youth's version

[@MarkWoodChannel]

He was just scoping out the women, creepy Chuck had his backstage and bathroom fun...

[@geoff64709]

I'm so glad you pointed that out my friend 👍 that just makes him even more special , want this playing at my Funeral get it bouncing

[@terjehansen0101]

But the bass player was lackluster. You would think that the 70's brought some bass game. But i don't know the Chuck Berry story.

[@mikehardgraves7887]

If you love Rock n Roll you are one of Chucks children.

[@msaintpc]

I'm almost 80 and remember when he was young. He changed the sound, the beat, the timbre and the subject matter of rock n roll. He also created the first youth groupie song ('Sweet Little Sixteen'), and the very first youth protest song ('School Daze'). After him, every rock and blues guitar player had to play his chops in one way or another. He was a genius and the Jimi Hendrix of his day. RIP my Brother.

This would have been a great era to see him live.

[@volvo945]

Up until about 20 years ago you could see him every Monday night at Blueberry Hill in University City (St Louis).

[@davidglow3]

Nope..saw him in 74 at the rainbow theatre in London..He was poor, didn't really care and in spite of encouragement he insisted on playing very quietly..After 35 mins he was gone with no encore.. Apparently it was the same across the whole tour.

[@walkertongdee]

I was there and damn right it was.

[@Dstrbrdgrnd]

@@davidglow3you just got him on a bad night. I was at a couple of his concerts at that time, one he opened for The James Gang, we wouldn’t let him leave the stage. James Gang had to play a tune with him before he could exit.

[@TheBorrito]

Met him at Six Flags in 1976. This was behind the fence as I was an employee. He was nice to me. I remember his smile and his fingers. Very cool dude he was.

Chuck is almost the best Rock'n Roller ever....!!! And he will in my heart forever......!!!! Absolute great music.....!!!

[@kbrewski1]

Almost? He IS THE REAL KING OF RnR. Like John Lennon said, look up the definition of RnR, you will see a picture of Chuck Berry.

[@Noel-ji8nm]

​@@kbrewski1So why is he wasting his time on a two bit show like the Midnight Special. I tell you why because his act is too small to fill out arenas.

[@kbrewski1]

I saw Chuck Berry perform live in person 5 times in a small basement bar in St Louis, named the Duck Room at Blueberry Hill. Amazing. I was at his 80th birthday concert celebration. I was also one of the few who got to attend his Memorial Service at the Pageant down the street from his home base venue, Blueberry Hill. What a legend and performer!

[@steveleonhart5186]

I bet that was awesome and unforgettable. What a great man!

[@randytrashcan]

Lived in STL nearly my entire life and I do regret never seeing him at Blueberry Hill.

[@kbrewski1]

@@randytrashcan Damn, that's unfortunate. He played there once a month for years. Toward his later years, people were flying in from Europe just to see him live, and he was selling out his monthly shows very quickly.

Chuck Berry 👍👉💓💓💓 Lyrics: Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell Go, go Go Johnny, go, go Go Johnny, go, go Go Johnny, go, go Go Johnny, go, go Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by they would stop and say "Oh my what that little country boy could play" Go, go Go Johnny, go, go Go Johnny, go, go Go Johnny, go, go Go Johnny, go, go Johnny B. Goode His mother told him "someday you will be a man And you will be the leader of a big old band Many people coming from miles around To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight" Go, go Go Johnny, go Go, go, go Johnny, go Go, go, go Johnny, go Go, go, go Johnny, go Go Johnny B. Goode
