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.
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.

Great performance! Chuck Berry was the real deal, and the way the guys on guitar and bass played it up - what a great moment in music television history. Thanks for uploading this.
Look up the home videos that they found if him pissing on and farting on hookers in his living room. I bet it might change your view a bit. I love the man's music bit he was a sick freak.
@@Nichole-440HP Im sure all u haters have never made a mistake or gotten into trouble ever in your life. Last i heard we are all sinners and make stupid mistakes sometimes. Yes some worse than others but before we start damning people left and right we need to remember the stupid things we ourselves have done before throwing stones at people. Learning how to forgive would be nice also. If we refuse to forgive God will refuse to forgive us. I dont know about you but i want to be forgiven for my sins and mistakes.
@@Nichole-440HP he couldn’t be any worse than that child molesting so called king of rock and roll, you know the guy from Memphis who stole a lot of his songs from black artists and was messing around with an underage girl, I believe her name was Priscilla, I’m not sure what his name was, maybe you can help me out 😂😂
i know im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any help you can give me!
I remember watching Sha Na Na Na with my parents, and I Remember making a point of watching the night Chuck Berry was on and understood why pretty much the whole world went absolutely CRAZY with this guy. I also remember how my father always perked up every Saturday evening because of the memories of being a teenager in the 1950's in NYC.
Same here. Dad was a production of Bensonhurst and stories of Alan Freid made feel like I was part of his youth in 1955. That and his memories of Dodgers when they were still the REAL Dodgers
One of the grandfathers of rock and roll , his guitar style was imitated by so many after. A icon that won’t come again. This show was great I remember it so well
I love how the bass player is just beaming in seventh heaven that he's playing with Chuck Berry and doesn't take his eyes off him the whole performance! I reckon anyone lucky enough to work on that show must've had an awesome time making it too!
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.
The most influential rock and roll figure in the world. Rest in peace king of rock and roll the only Chuck Berry. John Lennon said once if a rock and roll didn't have a name it will be called Chuck Berry
I will die happier knowing Chuck Berry's music will be around a billion years from now. It's on the gold record on Voyager 1. Somewhere out there, an alien is going to hit the musical jackpot....
@@bikebudha01 Nice setup. Did you know they received a message from outer space as a result of that recording on the Voyager 1 mission. The message read: MORE CHUCK BERRY - I'll never get tired of that joke.
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!!!
This show made me feel good watching it. I'll look up if I can buy the DVD collection. I wish watching TV made me entertained, but I don't watch any TV anymore for a reason.
Back in the late 70's got to see Sha Na Na at the Arie Crown Theater at McCormick Place in Chicago along with Andy Kaufman. They put on an three and a half hour non-stop show.
Some people don't know that CB was also a good blues instrumentalist. Look up "blue Feeling by CB. Listen to him play..it's great. also the piano player is fantastic Long time Chess studio player Johnny Johnson.
Check him out, get his autobiography, watch a movie called hail hail rock n roll!, he was/is the king. I prefer his stuff or at least the way he played it from late 60's to late 90's. The early fifties stuff was too stifled.
I saw Chuck Berry in 1976 at the San Diego sports arena it was incredible!! It was after a basketball game and we weren’t suppose to be on the court, well the minute he started playing everyone hit the floor, they tried to stop him but he just kept on going it was awesome!
Back when I was a kid, this was one of the shows on the Saturday lineup. Feel me like n this list: afternoon starts with Ba Ba Blacksheep, Rat Patrol, Wild Wild West, Star Trek, MASH, Hee Haw, Dukes of Hazard and Lawrence Welk, then ending with the Saturday Night Live. The Golden Age of eating off a TV tray and you were the remote control. Dad said “change it to channel 8 and by God you hopped up in your socks and slid up to the TV and clunk clunk clunk…
Chuck Berry he had charisma in his dance when he performed. Avery Schreiber he had so much talent as a human 💻 computer. It was clean, charismatic, talented, no pornography, no bad words, hilarious,funny, kids can watch it. What they have now, absolutely nothing but stupidity, hate, pornography, bad words, and ignorance.
How could that black guy be in Sha Na Na and not grease his hair even Chuck Berry's hair grease in this clip... Hes got an afro natural of the 70s... I never understood that people can just do things the right way
Sha na na..I remember the tv show. Ffs...Sha na na played Woodstock. This is great. Playing live in the studio here with the Godfather of Guitar rock..fantastic.
@@cooldaddy2877 what major rock and roll guitar player came before Chuck Berry? Maybe Bo Diddley?....what are you on about since you seem to know so much? Please enlighten me...and no, Les Paul wasn't a rock and roller.
Bill Haley (1954), Elvis Presley (1954), Little Richard (1955), Bo Diddley (1955). I was a DJ back then and knew Haley, Bo Diddley and Chuck. Hope you are enlightened now. Yes, Les Paul was not a Rock'n'Roller.@@chrispraz877
Chuck was great in Sha Na Na he was great in any show. He influenced the Beatles, Stones, and others. Other performers looked up to him because Chuck Berry wrote his own material. He was great in this show and Sha Na Na backed him up as well. It’s sad that Chuck Berry isn’t around anymore because this is someone they need to bring back.
That was so freaking awesome,,,, makes ya homesick for the past ,,,, God bless Y'ALL who got to see this when it aired on tv first ,,,, cuz like me y'all old lol lol lol YEAH
Chuck Berry looked fantastic,he was,is a wonderful singer from back then . I know that he died some time ago I send my condolences to his family members,friends,fans . Rest in peace Chuck .
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.
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.
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.

I used to watch it too, Sheriff Lobo, other great TV shows around that time. Oh, BJ & The Bear 😉
I'm so glad Marty Mcfly introduced rock and roll to Mr. Berry's cousins.
😂 Hell yeah bro I don’t know if anybody got that reference but I did

@@beankobe8205 Chuck Berry appeared on the Sha-Na-Na TV show in 1977.
kind of feel sorry for they younger generation who don't know this music
l think if they heard this they would be sorry for you.To their ears this would sound rough,basic and naive.However superb we think his music is
David Glowacki your observation is misguided.not all music is like that.begging you listen to some old country.
I am 15 years old boy from Bulgaria and I am one of the biggest fans of Chuck Berry
fans you have good taste in music.
@@reggieholder576 are you talking to me
Having Chuck Berry as a guest performer was one of the highlights of the entire run of the series.

@@oldjarhead386 He’s the rock and roll FATHER !!
You can see that "Sha Na Na" were in heaven playing with the great Chuck Berry.
That feeling you get as soon as Chuck hits that guitar!
Nothing better !!
I love how the bass player is just beaming in seventh heaven that he's playing with Chuck Berry and doesn't take his eyes off him the whole performance!

R.I.P. Chico Ryan (the bass player)
I watched this show regularly. I don’t remember them ever playing instruments. Cool to see they could and did.
the band kicked ass
@@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.

Sex pistols said the same
Elvis the king.John say before Elvis i was nothing.without Elvis no Beatles.
Absolutely great performance, Chuck was a legend and not to forget Sha Na Na was at Woodstock,
Pure awesomeness! I really get goose bumps watching this. Wish i had a time mashine to go back to the good old days.
This is like Superman showing up in the middle of the Avengers movie.
and kicked everyone's ass
What a piece of historical film, amazing.
Rest in peace chuck berry. You a true legend.
Chuck looked like he was having a great time, it was just better years ago, it really was.
Happy Days, Sha Na Na then GEASE. People in the mid to late 1970's loved them some 1950's nostalgia.
GEASE ????? - You can edit your spelling , if , perhaps you meant "GREASE " - If you meant "GEESE " , well , you spelt that wrong as well
Now Chuck Berry really was the 1950's rock and roller !.
Playing on stage with Chuck Berry for a live audience had to be a major thrill for the guitar players.
They also played Woodstock! They are so great

Wouldn’t it great if they put these shows back on TV instead of the mind rotting garbage that is on today?!
Funny skit and great performance from the legend himself. R.I.P Chuck Berry.
The real king of rock n roll
No, that was Elvis. Chuck is even on record saying so.
My Mom loved this show. And this was one of her favorite episodes. Us kids liked watching Sha-Na-Na too. So corny, but lots of music.
Chuck Berry RIP. The greatest ever.
No, that was elvis.
Chuck was in fine form and the band was kicking ass behind him!
Chuck hitting bum notes as usual.
RIP GREAT ONE
Back in the late 70's got to see Sha Na Na at the Arie Crown Theater at McCormick Place in Chicago along with Andy Kaufman. They put on an three and a half hour non-stop show.

Wow! You lucky dog!

Some people don't know that CB was also a good blues instrumentalist. Look up "blue Feeling by CB. Listen to him play..it's great. also the piano player is fantastic Long time Chess studio player Johnny Johnson.
Really appreciate this mans talent! Your a legend I can really see your influence on my bands a such as AC/DC. Rockabilly rules !
Greatest artist of the 50s is the King!
Chuck was good though.
Also a pervert
That was Elvis.
I use to Love these guys!!!🤣😂 Great memories!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Use to watch this over my grandma's house, she never missed an episode. This looks like it was shot on the same set as Sesame St.
I have 3 words for this video Wow! Wow! Wow! David here a fan of Rock and Roll for over 50 years! Thanks for posting!
Very good Chuck Berry
I remember watching this after school everyday 😍 with a Bowl of cereal 🥣
There were four kings of Rock and Roll, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis. They set the stage.
And the up and coming King who would've been Ritchie Valens

Loved this show growing up wish they would bring something like this back
Same
There is no talent today like we saw growing up. And they didn't need half naked females prancing around.
That show was so entertaining, I'm sorry but the glory days are over and Chuck Berry was awesome R.I.P.

Outstanding performance by all!...The only thing missing was Pamela Myers dancing in her poodle skirt...
My family member Chuck Berry. Rest in peace, cuz.
That crazy rock and roll music has me going all night long!!
I still have chuck Berry's 'after school session ' record..one of my favorite...awesome...love Sha na na...👍👍

Loved this show because it was so shamelessly hokey
Simply legendary performer
The real roots of American rock and roll!
No, he was later than Bill Haley and Elvis.
Chuck was so handsome here, and at the top of his game. He made it look easy. Thanks to ShaNaNa, we got to see this.
2:38, the KING OF ROCK'N'ROLL HIMSELF 😎
I used to wach this show during the mid to late 1980's when Rock "N" Roll was still a big seller in my country :-)
True to form, Chuck didn't bring a backing band. He just got the boys from Sha Na Na to play behind him.
That’s what makes it so good. Watching the legendary Chuck Berry perform with guys who appreciated him so much was electric!
They made Chuck Berry sit in the cab so they could do that bit.
Chuck Berry the real king of Rock and Roll
E L V I S was the king and Chuck said it himself...hey but you know better.
