Chuck Berry
Hail! Hail! Rock N' Roll

St. Louis, 1986. For Chuck Berry's 60th, Keith Richards assembles a pickup band of Robert Cray, Joey Spampinato, Eric Clapton, himself, and long-time Berry pianist Johnnie Johnson. Joined on stage by Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, and Julian Lennon, Berry performs his classic rock songs. His abilities as a composer, lyricist, singer, musician, and entertainer are on display and, in behind-the-scenes interviews, are discussed by Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springstein, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, and others. There's even a rarity for Berry, a rehearsal. Archival footage from the early 1950s and a duet with John Lennon round out this portrait of a master.

  • Guys just let the ...

    Guys just let the blues be the blues, let music be music, people can share it. Black or white they can get on stage together and play it together. Chuck Berry asked eric to play with him. B.B. King a black man, the king of the blues said Clapton plays the blues just like any black man. Just let them share it.

  • It's sad this ...

    It's sad this turned into a race debate, it's music not politics. And who cares who stole what and when.
    Some of the greats have stolen tunes and riffs since the dawn of time. The blues itself is a big mix of a bunch of influences.
    Black or white, if you can't set aside race differences and enjoy good music you need to take a chill pill and listen harder to the soul behind good ol' Chuck's music.

  • You seem to accuse ...

    You seem to accuse everyone of being a fascist, I doubt if you even know what a fascist is.You said " The pentatonic is Delta Blues" well the pentatonic scale is use in Chinese, Japanese, Celtic, Polish,Albanian,and Greek music to name but a few. People were playing these scales when there were only frogs in the Delta.If the Stones, Beatles, stole note for note how come the record companies are not suing. Produce the sheet music to prove your point or crawl back under your stone.

  • Sorry tubelogin1 ...

    Sorry tubelogin1 but you don't know what you are talking about. Musicians have been "stealing" notes off each other since the cavemen. There are after all only so many notes. The pentatonic scale is not an African (Delta Blues) invention, the blue notes added to the scale are certainly from African music. Music isn't about race or colour it's about communicating and breaking down barriers.Clapton has always acknowledged his debt to all the great black musicians he has learnt from.

    you're all arse and music idiots, you collection of clapton slurpers.
    Beatles stole I Feel Fine riff note for note from Bobby Parker.
    Stones stole Bitch riff from Temptations note for note.
    Stones stole Hot Stuff from Preston.
    Beatles stole Come Together from Chuck Berry, note for note and even the opening lyric.
    The "pentatonic" is delta blues. No whitey moron could have ever invented and none can play it still. You're a laughable morons.

    clapton S**ks . I must say I hate clapton. it's boring predictable pentatonic finger exercise. Chuck plays with heart. Whitey little wee wee brains stole every single riff and made it flat and stupid like everything the evil UK/US saxonic bush lying child murderers touch.

  • What a show! That ...

    What a show! That solo from Clapton has haunted me from years. Sheer perfection. And Chuck.. his charisma is unequalled. Can you believe it ... at 60 he was practically doing the splits on stage and doing his famous goose step walk too! His music has kept him young. King of rockn'n roll! May he be healthy and happy and keep playing his guitar for many years to come.
