Sha Na Na ~with guest Chuck Berry

I originally had this in two pieces but I figured I would just put them together since it is the same performance LOL

[@funeralbillii9172]

Used to watch Sha-Na-Na with my Mom every Saturday night. When they were done singing "Goodnight, Sweetheart" it was time for bed. Miss you, Ma.

[@spiderpark64]

I was about 15 y/o and my dad and I would (also) watch this weekly show. it was father and son time.he turned me on to the fifties. miss those times.

[@DXPunx74]

Same here. We watched Sha Na Na religiously. Family time, then it was time to go to bed after Goodnight Sweetheart. Then Dallas came on after for my Mom to watch. They did bring families together, something that you don't see much of now sadly.

[@scottkraft1062]

Same with me

[@skunk12]

I remember my grandpa telling me stories about his Saturday nights. He would watch Sha-Na-Na from his house because thats when the next door neighbor brat would finally fall asleep. For a long time, i didnt know what he meant when grandpa said, he would "sneak through her window and the neighbor lady would let him come inside her back door." Now i know EXACTLY what he meant.

[@ktpinnacle]

@@stephenedgecock Not a lot of live Chuck Berry that I've seen, and too much of it is pretty clunky back up. This is straight-forward good stuff.

[@woodystemms3799]

If you were playing a pickup gig with Chuck, or were lucky enough to have him sit-in at a club, it was *always* a good idea to watch him closely, especially his hands. He had a habit of changing positions without notice, thus changing the key. If the band didn't catch it, and played a clunker, who caught the blame? A tough lesson, but from a master performer and player.

[@paolot8515]

[@elsbethsteele6397]

They also played Woodstock! They are so great

[@joegongora2200]

Those playing on stage with Chuck Berry no doubt considered it an honor to play with him on the show. Sha Na Na went against the grain when the played at Woodstock. At first when they appeared on stage the Hippies just looked at them because here’s guys with their hair slicked back. When they started singing 🎵 the Hippies got into it because no doubt they started to remember their American Graffiti Days. If anyone could pull off anything like that it’s…Bowser!!!
