A blonde with big hair that he made keep her hands on her thighs while he did his thing.

[James Ford]

One website said she later shit on him. So he apparently gets as well as he gives.

I'm also hoping THATGUY is not personal friends with Chuck Berry.

Same night as Chuck Berry at The Howard, so I'm out.  Sorry but I'll have to bow to a rock and roll legend over some halfway decent contemporary acts.

Commence hater-isms

Chuck Berry is a must see; the most important person in the history of rock and roll. I love Cub Koda's essay at the All Music Guide so I'll repost the first paragraph here...

Of all the early breakthrough rock & roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers. Quite simply, without him there would be no Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, nor a myriad others. There would be no standard "Chuck Berry guitar intro," the instrument's clarion call to get the joint rockin' in any setting. The clippety-clop rhythms of rockabilly would not have been mainstreamed into the now standard 4/4 rock & roll beat. There would be no obsessive wordplay by modern-day tunesmiths; in fact, the whole history (and artistic level) of rock & roll songwriting would have been much poorer without him. Like Brian Wilson said, he wrote "all of the great songs and came up with all the rock & roll beats." Those who do not claim him as a seminal influence or profess a liking for his music and showmanship show their ignorance of rock's development as well as his place as the music's first great creator. Elvis may have fueled rock & roll's imagery, but Chuck Berry was its heartbeat and original mindset.

He played virgin fest a few years back or so people say.  I watched 20 minutes of his set and it was some japanesse beatles cover band.  His set time was only an hour.  So how long did chuck play 15 minutes?

Not for $98! 

He is too old to be performing BUT if I hadn't see him I'd gladly pony up $98..


it IS Chuck Berry after all.


the fact he is around and performing is amazing....

He is only 85.  I saw Pete Seeger last year at newport folk fesival and he was 92 at the time.  Highlight of the festival
