I come here knowing the songs. I'm really here just to see your reactions, because I ALREADY KNOW how you are going to groove, freak, smile, laugh, be stunned, by what you are going to hear. Because I know the songs and still react the same way you do when I hear them. I'm 66 years old and my whole body starts moving, involuntarily, when I hear this music, lol.
This guy was a deity. Some quotes: John Lennon: “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry.'” Stevie Wonder: “There’s only one true king of rock ‘n’ roll. His name is Chuck Berry.” Jerry Lee Lewis: “[My mama] said, ‘You and Elvis are pretty good, but you’re no Chuck Berry.'” Bruce Springsteen: "Chuck Berry was rock's greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock & roll writer who ever lived." Keith Richards: "I've stolen every lick he ever played." If you've ever listened to a bunch of Chuck Berry tunes while dropping acid, you've come in contact with the divine.
I saw him live at the Black Music Festival in my city, Girona, like 15 years ago.he was 78 y/o, but still amazing, goosebumps all the time because we knew we were watching a living legend!

Story time about the benefits of having low friends in high places. Friend (name withheld for decency LOL) was somehow able to procure four tickets for the 60th Birthday Concert for Chuck Berry. Not finding anyone else who could make the long trip on such short notice, I was asked. Of course I said yes in a heartbeat and it was one of my better "Yes" replies. Of course Mr. Berry was the star but with a backing band that included Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Johnnie Johnson-Mr. Johnny B. Goode himself on piano. Etta James, Linda Rondstadt and one of Chuck's daughters having back-up singing duties, they could do no wrong. The audience was a bit of the who's who of the music world and then there was little old me. it was the concert of the decade. St. Louis was quite the lovely city and had amazing Italian food
Many people will say that Elvis was the king of Rock n roll. I strongly disagree because Chuck Berry is the REAL KING OF ROCK N ROLL! Chuck Berry WAS rock n roll and done it up until the day he died. Rest in peace Chuck Berry your music will live forever!
@@herbyragan7801 Chuck Berry when asked to describe Elvis,he said- Elvis is the best there ever was, is or will be. They loved each other, though I think Chuck resented in a way all the attention Elvis got, but they were good friends. Chuck certainly has his place on the mountain top right along side Elvis in my opinion.
I saw him perform this song and others LIVE in Seattle, WA in the late 60s or early 70s. It was part of a concert organized by a local rock and roll radio station - KJR 95 on the AM dial. The concert included Bill Haley and the Comets and the Shirelles.
I only saw Chuck Berry live once. It was about 10 years ago at The Pageant in St Louis. When he played Johnny B Goode, and everybody was singing 'go, go Johnny go...' it gave me goosebumps to see a legend in his hometown.
I was lucky enough to see him live back in the 90's. Probably one of the best shows I ever saw. The cool thing is that he encouraged the piano player to do some solos. For those that don't know, Chuck Berry didn't really have a band, he just had local musicians play backup for him, since everybody knows how to play Chuck Berry. Anyways,. halfway through the show, Berry was like "This guy is good," and just starts jamming with the piano player. No ego, no BS about how he's the star, they just kind of started jamming on stage, and Chuck Berry was happy to give the limelight to some local guy.
Everybody knows how to play Chuck Berry. True. When Springsteen was taking requests, he and the E Street Band got one for a song they hadn't played since their teens. Didn't take them long to remember. th-cam.com/video/L-Ds-FXGGQg/w-d-xo.html
All the great bands that you react to, Led Zeppelin The Beatles and everybody else that came after Chuck Berry took something from Chuck Berry, he is a true inspiration and innovator, rock and roll starts here.
You're right. Chuck Berry is where guitar rock started. I saw a documentary about him. In it, he was on his way to a gig. The reporter asked about his band. He didn't have one, but there'd be one there when he got there. "But will they know your songs? " "Everyone knows my songs." And he was right. If you play a guitar, you learn almost everything you need to know by learning Chuck Berry songs.
I worked a Chuck Berry show in Alabama......It was a private party and he played with a local pick up band...Chuck was drunk at showtime and couldn't get his guitar in tune, but man it was amazing!!...Legend right there for sure....
Favourite reaction channel on the web. Feel like we’re friends. I’ve ‘rediscovered ‘ so much great music through your selections. I’ve played guitar for over 50 years and can confidently state that Chuck Berry is the most natural stage performer…ever. The guy is chock full of natural expression. The absolute self made real thing
Chuck Berry,a black man in the 50's,one of the pioneers of true rock n roll. He was a major influence for so many rock artists that came later.His contributions can not be over stated

It's generational. My grandparents thought Benny Goodman and Big Band Music was the end of civilization.( Also Frank Sinatra). 😁I love Disco and Funk, but Rap is Crap as they say.

The thing I dig about seeing old performances like this is you see the intensity of the artist. This kicks just as much ass as any Metallica set I’ve ever seen.
Actually Berry stole it from his piano player Johnnie Johnson who composed all of the music on piano which Berry converted to electric guitar. Berry never gave Johnson credit or a single royalty. Johnson was driving a van for a senior center when Keith Richards tracked him down and took him on the road as the Stones piano player for the next 20 years.

I saw Mr. CHUCK BERRY live 2× in the 1st in1986 had floor seats for the filming of his documentary concert in our home town ST . LOUIS, MO, it was a 4hr show with such greats as Etta James , Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Robert Cray, Linda Ronstat, and more. Chuck still had the moves. Then 5ish yrs, later for the Grand opening of the PLANET HOLLYWOOD opening which my wife and I won tickets to the outdoors concert but best all was the private after party that was closed to the public but we partied all night with movie stars and sports greats. BRUCE WILLIS , JOHN GOODMAN, JAMES CANN, MELANIE,GRIFFITH, RAMS, AND ST . LOUIS BLUES PLAYERS. BRUCE WILLIS and John Goodman join Chuck on stage and killed it. Bruce Willis can sing and play a mean harmonica. Check out Chuck Berry HAIL HAIL ROCK N' ROLL ON YOU TUBE AND SEE SEEN OF THE CONCERT AND MORE. PEACE HIPPIE JOE
Must listen to James Taylor. I've been to over 400 concerts. My parents worked at the coliseum on the 60s,70s&80s. I could tell you stories about backstage that would blow your mind
He's looking around because he has an audience on his side. So he's communicating with everyone Rest in Power. I am glad he made it as old man and also Little Richard. Too many of our singers die too young.

LOUIS, MO, it was a 4hr show with such greats as Etta James , Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Robert Cray, Linda Ronstat, and more. Chuck still had the moves. Then 5ish yrs, later for the Grand opening of the PLANET HOLLYWOOD opening which my wife and I won tickets to the outdoors concert but best all was the private after party that was closed to the public but we partied all night with movie stars and sports greats. BRUCE WILLIS , JOHN GOODMAN, JAMES CANN, MELANIE,GRIFFITH, RAMS, AND ST . LOUIS BLUES PLAYERS. BRUCE WILLIS and John Goodman join Chuck on stage and killed it. Bruce Willis can sing and play a mean harmonica. Check out Chuck Berry HAIL HAIL ROCK N' ROLL ON YOU TUBE AND SEE SEEN OF THE CONCERT AND MORE. PEACE HIPPIE JOE
Without Chuck you would be lacking just about every band in the 60s
Chuck Berry was a genius! So many others stood on his shoulders!
Must listen to James Taylor. I've been to over 400 concerts. My parents worked at the coliseum on the 60s,70s&80s. I could tell you stories about backstage that would blow your mind
He's looking around because he has an audience on his side. So he's communicating with everyone Rest in Power. I am glad he made it as old man and also Little Richard. Too many of our singers die too young.
I’d like to say thanks for posting something before I was born, but nope. I was one year old 👶🏽🥰
1966 here lol Beatles, Cream, Zeppelin.
Chuck Berry is the man! It was musicians like that who gave birth to Rock n Roll. Never forget it's roots. /Respect!
Chuck, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee.
You should react to Jerry Lee Lewis too. Similar styles.
Yes! Great Balls Of Fire, or Whole Lot Of Shakin' Goin' On.
And how about some Little Richard...Tutti Fruitti, or Long Tall Sally!
Love Jerry. he looked like a madman at the piano.
Gotta love Chuck Berry. He was an act where you got more than you paid for. Not only does he have great music but he is an entertainer
If TH-cam allows it do Chuck Berry's " My Ding- a- Ling...."
I saw him up close many years ago when he played in the UK, still duckwalking at almost 70! Couldn't believe how big his hands were! Legend!
Please react to a song from his last album CHUCK. The song's called "Big Boys". CB rocked from the cradle to the grave
What an entertainer. He was so great. 💕💕💕
Great music. He knew how to rock the house. Listen to My Dingaling
That footwork while playing guitar, just amazing. Thank you brother
