When I shook his hand I was totally in awe, and told him, "I'm shaking the hand of the man who started rock and roll". He goes, "and I'm shaking the hand of one of the guys that's gonna keep it going". How cool is that :)

Funny thing though all due respect to Chuck Berry, whenever he was jamming like in this session he would always add extra notes to his guitar licks. and add other embellishments to his music. not that anything is wrong with that a lot of musicians do that. it just made him a little unpredictable to work with. Keith Richards even mentioned it in an interview. he said that he was almost as hard to work with as Mick Jagger. but he still liked him a lot. that's part of what made Chuck Berry so incredible was that he was always trying to improve himself.

This brings back memories from a teenager seeing Chuck Berry playing the Orange County Fair. I’m guessing it was around 1972 ? The tickets were a buck if I remember correctly, but the amazing thing was that all these country kids were to busy playing Carnival games. And he was a Legend playing a full two hours, doing all the hits, in front of approximately 100 people. I think it was 1975 when the Rolling Stones played Madison Square Garden for six nights, and it was with the Lotus Stage. I was able to get tickets for all six performances. It was the first time the Stones did Sympathy for the Devil since the whole thing at Altamont Speedway. I forget the order but Eric Clapton played lead for either the first or last night. Carlos Santana also played lead for either the first or last show. Billy Preston had a big hit at the time and performed it at each night. Thanks for a great jam !!!

Great memories that mark your time and place. My teenage years were the 60’s and I lived near Hollywood along with my two Brothers. We saw almost everyone from the Animals to the Zombies. Great memories.

the history and legacy Of Chuck Berry 😎 May he be blessed in the Lord's arms eternally

This was shot in St. Louis as part of the rehearsals for the concert movie "Hail Hail Rock & Roll". There were some tunes shot at the Cosmo Club in East St. Louis ( reopened just for the film ) that didn't make it into the movie. Hope that some day the outtakes will be released. One of them had Chuck doing a pantomime while the band vamped. It was great ... he was a total entertainer. Sure he could be irrassable at times, but he could also be gracious and understanding. It's not widely known, but for many years Chuck would travel to Jefferson City, Missouri, and play for the inmates at the Algoa medium security prison where he had done a stretch as a teenager. Long may Chuck Berry Rock, and long may Johnny Johnson Roll!

CB has pretty hot on the piano as well. Only got to see him once: Brisbane, Queensland, in the early-ish 1970's. Still have the "programme" .
