Keith Richards invited a roster of great musicians to honor Chuck Berry for an evening of music to commemorate Berry's 60th birthday. Taken from the Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll movie.
Chuck Berry and Etta James are gone now, but can you imagine Keith Richards or Eric Clapton or Robert Cray just being able to set back and remember this night and to think that they were part of it!!
RIP Jamesetta Hawkins (Etta James) 25 January 1938 - 20 January 2012 RIP Charles Edward Anderson Berry 18 October 1926 - 18 March 2017 Both are legends
This concert was from a 60th birthday celebration concert put together by Keith Richards and Taylor Hackford for Chuck Berry. A bunch of big stars were invited to play and/or sing the music of Chuck Berry including Clapton, Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, etc. The whole concert and preparation leading up to it were codified in Taylor Hackford's documentary film, Hail! Hail! Rock n' Roll. I highly recommend it; it's very insightful and interesting - not to mention entertaining!
Even at this age, just give Chuck Berry a guitar and a beat, and he could burn the stage up. And with Eta James, wow! They burned down the whole place! Wish I had been there! If time travel is ever created in my lifetime, this is the first place I’d go back to.
Etta was Keith’s inclusion, much to everybody else’s distance, yet chuck owned her on stage. Keith has such a great understanding of rock and roll, many don’t give him the credit for. Another outstanding performance
Well guys and gals, the doctor says take in this video 10 times each morning and you will have a smile on your face and your feet will have done their first 1,000 steps of the day.
Incredible!!! Wonderful people making songs that go from generation to generation!! Thank God for giving me the opportunity to see these legends singing!!
What can we say about this explosive hurricane-shaped woman and this absolutely unique voice that ignites our ears with that authentic rock? (And the Blues, Jazz, R&B, Soul, too ..) What can we say about this wonderful star that left us orphans of his magnificent voice? What can we say about Etta James? The words, however long that may be, never tell all about her. For now, only a terrible and immense longing in our hearts. R.I.P. Etta, we loved you my sweetheart. Forever, ever & ever
This is historic footage. Possibly THE seminal song of early rock n roll music, a song about itself (not knowing what would come of it all), performed by its progenitor on rock guitar Chuck Berry, sung by Etta James, a woman who was possibly THE top talent of black soul singing overall turning a song supposedly out of her genre into a monster performance, assisted by Keith Richards, a man whose epic career was made overseas by his love for this American song. Pretty amazing. So glad the production was up to modern standards. This will live forever.
This is genuine rock and roll and its raw roots which are blues and jazz, a Berry/James duo just outstanding , long Live rock and roll on its world day !
This is how we make music; it vibrates into every part of our existence. Sad, both had to leave us. RIP Etta and Chuck. This will keep on reminding us how great you were.
there will never, never be another etta james. those of us fortunate enough to see her perform live saw a legend in the flesh. r.i.p, ms. james, and thank you.
I too am so pleased Keith Richards done this, as he was in the position to pay tribute to the man who, "delivered us all from the days of old... "Hail, Hail Rock & Roll... R.I.P Chuck Berry....
Etta was my girl to. She could make all kinds of sounds with her voice. For instance, the way she makes her voice cry when she sings "I'd rather be blind" I love that song. Etta will be sorely missed.
she singing "If you will dance with me...." I think there is a problem - damned - she is powerful and alle the boys around (and I too) love her.......thank you, Etta
Tempey cooper Obama dissed Etta, who OWNED "At Last," and had younger, more "palatable" Beyonce sing her song at the Inaugural. Can you imagine what that would have meant to Etta, after all she lived through?
When I first saw this I was a lot younger and dumber. So,didn't appreciate Etta's performance enough. Now I know -- she's blues, soul, R&B and every damn thang you want, rolled into one!
Tres grandes leyendas Chuck Berry, Jamesetta Hawkins (Etta James) & Keith Richards interpretando "Rock'n Roll Music". Una joya de la historia de la música.
Without Chuck Berry there is no rock and roll. The father and founder of rock music
I kinda wish that these amazing people lived forever.
1 blues icon and 1 rock and roll icon playing together and it's a Masterpiece and musical work of art. This is a priceless experience.
Wow Berry, showed love and respect in his jam with Eta James.
He loved that jam and Eta was jamming fine.
Awesome 👏
They have a soulful voice
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Chuck & Etta..?
Chuck Berry and Etta James are gone now, but can you imagine Keith Richards or Eric Clapton or Robert Cray just being able to set back and remember this night and to think that they were part of it!!
I was there! It was great!
RIP Jamesetta Hawkins (Etta James) 25 January 1938 - 20 January 2012
RIP Charles Edward Anderson Berry 18 October 1926 - 18 March 2017
Both are legends
Charles is Chuck
Amen
Chess Records Legends
Confused by the notes above. What was the date of THIS CONCERT??
This concert honors mr.barry on his 60th birthday... so Oct/1986
When this lady´s voice kicks in she is the best at singing the power, soul, and humanity, of the Blues!
Amazing
Qu
Etta stole the show!!! She ROCKED THIS SONG,, CRANK IT UP!!!!
Ms James singing sent chivers down my spine,and up the side of my left face. I kid you not! Thanks Pedro B. !
I was at this concert...12 yrs old griped all the way there....... greatest night ever!
Wow...
My first time coming across this video and certainly won't be the last time I watch this.
RIP Miss James and Mr Chuck Berry
Cannot believe how quickly this lot get into the groove, and what a groove. Priceless!

Chuck Berry was born in 1926. Do the math.
@@donnyyork2149 1986 - 1926 = 60
Maths done.
She tore that song up. What a talent.
Not just a talent. Call it what it is: mastership!
@@MrDanycrane etta had never sung that song until the rehearsal
@@billhaywood3503 That‘s why she turned it into a blues song. She gave the power of Elmore James and Muddy Waters to Cucks chords.
@@billhaywood3503 that's why she reads the lyrics ?
Etta walks in and blows the place up, fantastic
Even at this age, just give Chuck Berry a guitar and a beat, and he could burn the stage up. And with Eta James, wow! They burned down the whole place! Wish I had been there! If time travel is ever created in my lifetime, this is the first place I’d go back to.
she has an incredible voice. that just sounds amazing!
Sorry, but for me she is screaming a little bit to much, prefer Tina Turner or Bonnie Raitt.
That's rock n roll. Shouts a d screems
Man you know you have talent on stage when Keith Richards is in the back playing his guitar.
Hello how's your day going so far?
Keith's in there and Eric Clapton!!!!
Etta was Keith’s inclusion, much to everybody else’s distance, yet chuck owned her on stage. Keith has such a great understanding of rock and roll, many don’t give him the credit for. Another outstanding performance
There will never be another Etta James! I saw Etta and BB King In concert together. Amazing!
Well guys and gals, the doctor says take in this video 10 times each morning and you will have a smile on your face and your feet will have done their first 1,000 steps of the day.
I agree.
I walk everyday a half an hour to work and this is kind of s*** I download and play while I walk and I get down the street quick
Yup,the feet can't help but dance👍
I 💯 agree with your doctor 🤘
Amen.
CHUCK BERRY AND ETTA JAMES WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TWOSOME I LOVE THEM THANK YOU FOR THE V IDEO
Aw wow that was good! Man l got horny for some crazy way after that
Etta's voice is so amazing. The right amount of power and roughness for straight ahead rock 'n roll.
They are legends, Etta James, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Chuck Berry together! Thank you so much, its, awesome😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🙏
“Etta James was a legend and let’s not forget Chuck Berry as well”
Bless her heart and CB as well.
Man I wish I could have been there!! I love chuck berry, etta james and Keith richards!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍
Hello how are you doing?
Absolutely Incredible. Shes aging well. Loved them both.💝 They were gifts to the World
Etta and Chuck in the Rock and Roll Heaven RIP
Etta’s rock voice is sensational
what energy, yet Etta James could sing "at last" as slow and tenderly as possible!!!
Incredible!!! Wonderful people making songs that go from generation to generation!! Thank God for giving me the opportunity to see these legends singing!!
What a lady and what a Voice!!

She takes off and gets into it - big-time, and Chuck and Kieth both see it and know it. classic.

Chuck Berry was the epitome of Rock & Roll!🔥 Performance level 💯. Sometimes, I wish I was born in the 60s. Music was effin best till 90s and still is.
Hello how are you doing today??
PERFECT! Doesn't get any better than this!
Two of the greatest musicians of all time.
Robert Cray and Keith Richards aren't too bad themselves
Two? Five greatest musicians
I hate it LIKE HELL that EVERYBODY ALWAYS forgets Johnnie Johnson. Such a BADASS PIANIST!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
My idols... Chuck and Keith
This is genuine rock and roll and its raw roots which are blues and jazz, a Berry/James duo just outstanding , long Live rock and roll on its world day !
She's flat out incredible. Chuck ain't too bad either.. Lennon said it best, if rock and roll had another name it would be Chuck Berry.
Saw him,with son&daughter too on stage,in Trani,7/2005.
It’s great how they created and are the best at rock and roll
Or Sister Rosetta Tharp.
Little Richard and Sister Rosetta Tharpe
This is why I will argue, that Chuck Berry is the one and only true King of Rock.
This one of the best conserts in Rock n Roll history! Etta, is so cool!
O
Jag
Hey, let us not forget to thank the "Ancient One!" Thanks for the gathering Mr. Richards!
This is how we make music; it vibrates into every part of our existence. Sad, both had to leave us. RIP Etta and Chuck. This will keep on reminding us how great you were.
Wish they had this kind of music today.
When Etta moves, the whole room done rockin.
I pleasantly surprised by her unassuming entry and get down to business the next minute! what a musical talent and power house was she!
This is what rock n roll is al about.
there will never, never be another etta james. those of us fortunate enough to see her perform live saw a legend in the flesh. r.i.p, ms. james, and thank you.
So sad R.I.P
Beautifully stated... this Queen was top of her class!!!!!!
Yes dear that is true word
Or Chuck Berry...
Love the way Chuck Berry play always like talentuous happy child on stage, the others seem a little stuck up if you compare.
I'm so glad Keith Richards made this moment happen...one of the best of the film! You go Etta...we won't forget you.
He looked like the outsider trying to join in at the end…
@@SimonPeters he is an outsider!
Music icons both ! So sad they're no longer with us, but they've left us with rock-and-roll gold.
AMEN!! 👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎
I think Chuck was trying to upstage Etta by making remarks and doing his thing. Chuck didn't want her in the show.
the real story is THE BEAT! WHAT A BEAT! authentic 50s swinging groove make me dizzy
When you hear these amazing voices how can you not love our culture, color, and soul from within our hearts.
I too am so pleased Keith Richards done this, as he was in the position to pay tribute to the man who, "delivered us all from the days of old... "Hail, Hail Rock & Roll... R.I.P Chuck Berry....
Jamesetta Hawkins (Etta James), Keith Richards & Chuck Berry performing "Rock'n Roll Music"
Doesn't get any better. I feel the loss. Well, we still have our Keef. For now.
Awesome 👏
They have a soulful voice
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Chuck & Etta..?
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
....
Hello how are you doing?
Excellent performance and super talented musicians.❤
I wish I had seen this performance live. I listen to that song over and over.
Hello how are you doing today??
I was there! It was great to see all of the talent in one night!
Wow, what a line up. You'd never get such a great group of musicians on one stage at the same time these days.
thats 'cos most of them are dead
@@johnmccallum8512 Or, because the same calibre of musicians are not alive today.
Боже, как же это круто! Всю жизнь слушаю и каждый раз испытываю восторг! Великие!
this song and these singers are what rock and roll is all about.
A full room of lucky bastard$ watching perform Etta James, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton…chuck berry….it doesn’t get any better…
This mamma is awesome. Bravo, Etta !
Omg Etta James every time I hear her voice I have goosebumps ❤️🌹
❤️ this is such a great performance, they pulled it right off and out of that place music masters do
Immortals .... and if we consider that Keith Richards was also on stage, then we are in Heaven.
Etta was my girl to. She could make all kinds of sounds with her voice. For instance, the way she makes her voice cry when she sings "I'd rather be blind" I love that song. Etta will be sorely missed.
Chuck Berry was an accomplished composer as well as a talented musician and vocalist.
Better when he sings his own songs.
That’s why he was truly the king of Rock & Roll
@@Methilde I think we can agree he enjoyed Etta tearing this up, as much as the rest of us.
@@liborsionko Yes :)
a Blast from the past ... two music royals together and rocking the house.
+Minahh two of Chess's finest and best (y) (y)
+Minahh yes! chuck berry and etta james...rare footage I'm sure.
she singing "If you will dance with me...." I think there is a problem - damned - she is powerful and alle the boys around (and I too) love her.......thank you, Etta
To magic entertainers doing what they were born to do. Bless to Miss James and Chuck. Long live Rock n Roll this damn good. Loved it..
Lord have mercy when I saw Chuck do his duck walk, I like to die laughing, they was really rocking up there 👏👏👏👏👏
Me too, exact same thing for me. Made me laugh and Etta was rockin it out too.
Rest in Peace Mr. Berry and Ms. James.
You can see that Keith Richards enjoys playing today as much as then.
What a talent. The song was torn .
Splendid & marvelous.
What a combo!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my all time fave music clip on TH-cam! They rock n'roll like they're 17.
In 1968, between Etta James & Aretha Franklin I had "MASSIVE CRUSHes"!!! on the 2. I thought they were cousins. I was 5!!!!
Nunca mais a música do Rock and Roll foi a mesma!!!
Fantástica performance...fabulosa, tremenda, poderosa, inacreditável!!!
Ah what a performance !!! Loved Etta.. and she and her music will live on forever !!! :)
This is Real Rock & Roll music
Yeah, how can I have a disagree?
Chuck Berry...definitly one of the greatest of all time
@@robertday5434 Yes
@@robertday5434 Chuck, the originator of Rock N Roll
Was there anything that girl could not do 🎶 music wise, what a talent she was 🎼🎼😎😎😎
What Keith Richard does on his days off from Rolling stones. Chuck berry is a master of music
Boy Ms Etta tore that song up.
Incomparable Rock ‘n Roll …. Doesn’t get any better than this.
Hello how are you doing today???
You can say that again
They have a soulful voice
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Chuck & Etta..?
Yes this is when music was music what a good sounds I love this song nice. How are you Rhubarb?
So happy to hear Etta James and Chuck Berry playing
Huge smile on my face when I watch and listen to this awesome performance. Thanks God all of them existed😍🎉💪
Hello how's your day going so far?
I love this song so entertaining what a unique voice. How are you Martina ?
I love the way she sings. Etta and Otis, the best
That is not Otis,that is Chuck Berry
Etta could rock it like this, and bring you to tears with her hit "At Last" - modern 'singers' just don't compare.
Hello how are you doing today??
Two of the best. Can’t watch this without a big ole smile on your face. Thank you
EVERYTHING about this is AWESOME!
OMG!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Etta James nailed it!!
Love how Robert Cray just disappears by the end of the song. Perhaps Etta’s incredible vocals sent him into the stratosphere?
God bless all blacks for bringing blues and rock and roll to the world. I bow my knee !!!
I was there front roll , second show, Robert Cray and Etta was bad ass !
When she goes up to those higher notes at 1:14, wow - absolutely killed it Etta!! RIP An amazing talent we all miss.
Keith Richard has phenomenal taste in music🤫
Awesome 👏
They have a soulful voice
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Chuck & Etta..?
Yes. What a good song so entertaining. How are you Rosemarie ?
My preferred version of this Chuck Berry tune. The most "explosive"!
Hello how are you doing?
take a seat beyonce you will never be on her level!! RIP Etta the queen!
Tempey cooper Obama dissed Etta, who OWNED "At Last," and had younger, more "palatable" Beyonce sing her song at the Inaugural. Can you imagine what that would have meant to Etta, after all she lived through?
Not even close.
Awesome keep on rocking Etta we miss you but your music we keep it alive.
all i can say is.. WOW
When I first saw this I was a lot younger and dumber. So,didn't appreciate Etta's performance enough. Now I know -- she's blues, soul, R&B and every damn thang you want, rolled into one!
Tres grandes leyendas Chuck Berry, Jamesetta Hawkins (Etta James) & Keith Richards interpretando "Rock'n Roll Music". Una joya de la historia de la música.
You forgot to mention Clapton!!
Yes, there are three legends onstage, and it was joyous.
Y pensar que rock and roll music fue interpretado muchas veces por los 4 músicos más aclamados del mundo (The Beatles)
