As John Lennon once said, “if rock & roll had a name, it would be Chuck Berry”. Chuck Berry was
indeed rock music’s greatest composer, guitar player and performer. Without Chuck Berry there
would be no Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan or a myriad of others. The standard
“Chuck Berry guitar intro” would not exist, nor would the “clippety clop” rhythm of rockabilly ever have
evolved into the standard 4/4 of rock & roll... This historic live recording made in Toronto in 1969,
shows a Chuck Berry in full form, performing from his beyond classic repertoire, tracks like
“Maybellene”, “Nadine”, “Johnny B. Goode”, “Reelin’ And Rockin” and “Hootchie Cootchie Man”.
