I played bass for Chuck for awhile in 1966 when I was 17. A great memory that I'll forever will cherish. l'm still out on the blues circuit, and I always do this song. Long live Chuck Berry.
I grew up in a time when a lot of this took place and you know that called Elvis Presley the king of rock and roll I suppose he is with his beautiful voice but when it comes to lock and roll I believe Chuck Berry with the first man that made love to his guitar rock and rollers know what I'm talking about the guitar with his first love rest in peace Chuck Berry
How cool to know! Thanks for sharing! These were the days of REAL MUSIC... and especially from the black community. This rap shit today can’t hold a candle to this old rock n roll.
Saw him in 1960, after the concert he pulled out of the parking lot in a big black limo. He had the driver stop when he saw us autograph hounds, and rolled his tinted window down about 2 inches. I asked, cause I couldn't see him."Are you Chuck Berry?" He quickly replied....." Mornin, noon, and night!" Then he gave me and others his autograph. Whenever I hear him make that guitar of his ring like a bell I think of that night. Rock n Roll will never die!
I don't think most guitar players of today realize how great of a player Chuck Berry is..The grandfather of The Rock Sound..Gibson Es355 and a fender all tube amp..
Isn't he awesome! My very first album ever at just 12 years old was Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol 2, 2 album set, still got it, still play it, and just love old Chuck. Don't care about the "stories" what he did or didn't do, just love his music and how he comes across as a musician, his style is like no other. He inspired so many and brought Rock n Roll to the world, there is only one Chuck Berry, cheers to that! Play No Money Down Chuck, play No Money Down, Lol!
Chuck was one of my rock idols since the '60s, my biggest regret was not seeing him live Man look how young he is here,,,He looks like he'd never get old ...WTF ...life truly is short ...
old age has its benefits, i grew up listening to greats like this, he was the ultimate showman, i can't imagine anyone going away from one of his performances not feeling they had witnessed greatness.
Basically every electric guitar player alive steals licks from Chuck Berry. He was one of those rare musicians who was such a huge influence you really can't even describe his impact on music. One of the greatest of the greats.
As a kid learning the guitar Chuck was a big influence. I love the tunes but it's his stage persona that grabbed my attention the most. Random jazzy guitar twang mixed with a natural ability to entertain through dance, plus he liked talking to his audience's & he delivered continuos un planned ad lib style vocals that ranged from raucous to gentle & soft. He made the guitar look like a fun thing to play. His softer mellow jazz jingles were lesser heard than his big hits. Some of these rare gems can be seen on documentaries & that concert footage in the 90's when he played with Kieth Richards. We love Chuck r.i.p.
Stephen Mcbride me too, a few minutes ago actually not online much but in honor, enjoying the music.... It's fitting.... Be blessed sir, have a good day or night....
The word genius is overused in music-but not here. Chuck IS most definately a genius and one truly deserving of the accolade. A master of the universe. You can't say an entire musical genre was invented by just one man but if you had to say that about rock and roll, that man would be chuck berry.
its personal ho isthe greatest they are all just great in their own way, mine personal favorite is for example albert king, but hey chuck equal good in his style
He's just as much a legend as Muddy Waters. Chuck probably had the most influence on young guitar players. A lot of great rock and roll bands from 60's to the 90's and he lived to see it all . Chuck had his Gibson buried in there with him when passed. Played like he was born with it maybe he was
+adisbadis Because kids are listening to so much crap nowadays and he is proud to say he likes the real music. I support that, keep on listening to the best blues, kid
it's a very great step forward that the new POPE gives a state for the gay men in the rows of christians... super novum !. i love this...... and stay with THIS man of music !!
Chuck Berry is the true innovator of Rock & Roll "and says his John Lennon Beatle" If you want to give Lander Rock 'n' roll another name you can call it Chuck Berry. "

Wow as an 18 year old I can only imagine how great that would be
Tom Hankins , great music, great story that you play bass for Chuck. Great moments

TheDman216 not only rock but very good blues man
I used to be Chucks guitar many years ago, it was an honor
Chuck Berry is a rock and roll guitar god who inspired practically the whole rock scene.
This is so damn wonderful.. The father of rock and roll playing the blues..
Stimmt!
He came from the Blues. In the Beggining he was a blues player.
While still at Chess Records he did a great recording of St. Louis Blues.
the father and the king ok rock n roll
one of my favorit whreel rockenrollers
30 seconds is all you need to feel the power ,of this song , but it will last for many generations.
ROCK ON CHUCK BERRY
One thing amazing about Chuck is whenever he sings, every word he says is CLEAR and hits you. Superb.
Isn't he awesome! My very first album ever at just 12 years old was Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol 2, 2 album set, still got it, still play it, and just love old Chuck.

When Chuck plays the blues.
I get tears in my eyes.
To the bone.
old age has its benefits, i grew up listening to greats like this, he was the ultimate showman, i can't imagine anyone going away from one of his performances not feeling they had witnessed greatness.
Great-nest at it's greatest.
one of the forgotten guitar gods!
this is a great version of the song, he is a son-of-a-gun with that guitar. . . .wow
Who can doubt that Rock 'n' Roll is derived from the blues when they see Berry return to his blues roots and lay them in the aisles?

Chuck, the Blues Man...
And what he does, lyrically, to this blues classic, at 2:40, is a statement of his dominion.
Love this. chuck combines the lyrics to hoochie coochie man and "i'm ready" both willie dixon classics .and throws in some lyrics of his own
Wow, what a artist. I never saw this one. Now I know why Jimi Hendrix was so inspired by Chuck Berry.
He got that look, incredible
or is he stoned haha :D
RIP Chuck Berry. Thank you for gifting us all with your amazing talent.
I agree 100%
Just have to love the wonderful smiles & passion that Chuck shows on stage & how about that incredible guitar ?
this is one of the best renditions of any song i have ever heard by Berry. The man is a legend!!! St. Louis, MO!
This is too good.
RIP Chuck! Absolute legend!
Chuck is stylish.. Can give artistic feelings and expression

Listening to Chuck, I forget everything else going on at that time.

Feeling the blues total groove
Muddy Waters, Chuck berry, Jimi Hendrix all greats ahead of their time.
TIL, Chuck Berry is one of the greatest
Never forget it. If you're a rock and roll or blues rock fan we owe everything to him.
Yes sir!!

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: Chucky hat mit seiner Musik die Welt erträglich gemacht und tut es für mich auch weiterhin......

Chuck had his own style to play Muddy Waters Song.
It`s just great. One of the best guitarists all time!!!!!!
Chuck is the KING!!!!!!
Maaaaan, do I love his take on this Blues classic -- he out-evils many metal bands with his performance!!!
This is the real King of Rock and Roll.
I believe "breaking racial barriers" would be the proper response as to why the King is the King.
little richard is the architect
elvis is the king
but rock n roll won't born without its 'father'
chuck berry ftw!!!
One of his best..
i'm 12 and i love this :D

Godspeed Chuck Berry ! RISE In POWER !
the real father of rock n roll
Here Chuck demonstrates the direct lineage of Rock and Roll through the Blues. R I P Mr Berry.
Just forgot how good he was and what a great period of great music nostalgia haunts
Chuck Berry is the true innovator of Rock & Roll "and says his John Lennon Beatle" If you want to give Lander Rock 'n' roll another name you can call it Chuck Berry. "
un homme super ,il jouera pour l'éternité !
Fantastic !!!!!
Chuck Berry is The Man!
I like this version cause Chuck gave it his flavor thus making it his own.
Mr, Berry still pullin pistols on wayward drummers and kicking the blues all around the world.
Only BB, Little Ricard and Chuck left.
I can't count how many time I replayed this video... I'm still replaying it everytime it stops!
haha the notes imposeble for the group !! he s always triing to destabilise them!!
this is the blues
elvis is the king of rock n´ roll and chuck berry is the god of rock n´ roll
elvis es el rey del rock n´ roll y chuck berry es el dios del rock n´ roll
I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to see him at a small concert in Portsmouth, VA, back in the early 90s'. The man is a god!
Master!!!
Wow, Chuck Berry at the top his game. So much fun to watch.
