John Lennon and Chuck Berry -Memphis Tennessee

[edylcxin]

some people just have to say things that are really out there This is a history of two of the great that really respected each other ! I am glad to hear and see this!

[trinketbox1]

Honestly, there's not a thimble-full of talent here.

[DonRMB]

Yoko Ono?... More like YUCK-O Ono!

[JacksInn]

AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anoziraflaminghot]

dude wtf yoko?!?!?

[clambetae]

1:10 this is because you dont wash your dishes

[MrWillyLennon]

shut up!!!!

[guitardudebanjoman]

@1:10 -- The reason the Beatles broke up.

[PorroFirst]

Yoko has an amazing voice. 1:10 - wow!

[Eileene89]

Notice CB's face when Yoko chimes in with her yodel. A pain in the butt - when he performed with Yoko people booed so loudly he put a paper bag on her head(at another concert) somewhere in USA.

[ebbcourt]

How did those talented artists ever put up with Yoko Ono................they must have really loved John.

[flakbac]

john just smoochin wit dat ass aint he a wonderful politically correct white boy?theres more after the commercial he comes back with a feminist rant

[labrujafavarav8]

yoko motherfucker!!!!shut up your fuckin muth!!!!

[TheFreeMentality]

Chuck Berry and Little Richard are the true Kings of Rock & Roll(yeah I said it).

[basszyxs]

no creo que solo yoco se oía mal,

[livininomaha]

Lennon lost something after Sgt Pepper that he never really quite got back. I don't know if it was drugs, Yoko, depression, or some combination thereof, but he was never the same. Yeah he did some great stuff in the 70s ('God,' '#9 Dream'), but he seemed to be fundamentally crippled, and I don't think he ever would have escaped. The ultimate prisoner is the prisoner who thinks they're free.

[TheFreeMentality]

@livininomaha Well you have to understand he was under extreme pressure. How would you feel if the FBI and CIA were up your ass following you around, bugging your apartment and tapping your phone? I think John started to slip musically after '71. Songs like "Come Together, "Yer Blues", "God", "Imagine","Happiness Is a Warm Gun", etc were all classics from 1968-71.

[1964GuitarCovers]

wtf is with yoko, she legit sounds like a dieing cat that has to be put down.

[kingshearer2]

Yer chuck didn't like her attention seeking screech.

John was decidely dodgy too - it was like a Karoki performance from him I think he must have been in awe of Chuck.

[blackspace007]

I was feeling it, and when Yoko started screechin, I felt my breakfast attempt to come back up

[Vosveld85]

Whaaaaa 0.o Seriously, what the hell indeed...Yoko doesnt only look like a monster, she sounds like one aswell >.< cant even discribe that horrible sounds produced there. I wonder what kinda drugs she used that gave her the impuls to do that...

[jriverband]

puta china de mierrda!!! CALLATE LA BOCA SO GUARRA!

[alvin01]

Is this guy serious? He tells Chuck he sounds the "same as on his studio recordings" the performances on this show were dreadfull(even apart from Yoko) and the band were shite. Johnnie Johnson & Chucks early band were behind what make Chuck's recordings sound great.

[genericgeorge]

@alvin01 yeah it's kind of amateurish the song is in the wrong key for lennon and i dont think there was a whole lot of rehearsal if any at all.

[samusic160]

It's so funny everytime i watch this video, i get great music of course but the bit that gets me is Chuck's eyes at 1:11, you can just imagine (no pun intended) what he was saying in his head. 'what the f*ck was that noise' lol. I always do find it funny when Chuck does that funny eyed look but especially then, that was priceless :D.

[jody808]

Yoko's yoddles freaked Chuck out, lol

[Marvinbruce76]

LMFAO,Yoko WTF stay the fuck away from a mic!YiYiYioooWWW Really,really?

[Ktelrecord]

She sure knows how to ruin a song

[ChueyiCha]

The first second of hearing it, I thought it was a harmonica at first. Lmao

[DefendedHomestand]

1:10 Well, I used to like that song. Thanks yoko, want to ruin anything else I like?

[coatsy1523]

Rock legends John and Chuck, but what one earth was Yoko within 50 miles of them, big insult to the music with her being on-stage never mind butchering the song.

[spacemeddle]

1:10, A good song, completely ruined by Yoko's weird ass screeching, does she really think that sounds pleasant whatsoever, fuckin' chinks. LOL jkjk, its just Yoko

[Skwigaartube]

maestro enseñenos como se toca XD

[susie96mjfan]

Ok One question.. why did Yoko just pick up the mic and YiYiYioooWWW into it?

[turbojet100]

John is starstruck

[133Lumumba133]

Fy faan för Yoko - kärringen som pajade The Beatles!!!!

[samakhtarrrr]

When yoko starded singing at 1:10 i actually got scared

[marcia19941]

I follow her on Twitter just to see what kind of stuff she will post. But I've never liked her and I think I have good reason to feel that way.

[marcia19941]

What was John's problem about telling Yoko "NO" you don't need to be on stage.

[DonRMB]

@marcia19941 Sadly, John was ¨Pussy whipped¨. He couldnt just tell her NO, she ordered HIM around. I love John but damn its just the truth.

[genericgeorge]

@DonRMB she was "mother" after all

[marcia19941]

Yoko is just one huge musical joke.

[jroxx11211]

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE JAMMED A GUITAR UP YOKO'S ASS!!!!!

[barnaby713]

another reason to dislike yoko

[calvinbonjovi]

what year was this?

[Chimbo65]

@calvinbonjovi

1972

[Abdulmarcos]

Just because she's banging John Lennon doesn't mean she's got the right to pull something like that.

[Albert18264]

Chuck thought he was getting serious feedback on the guitar then realised it was Yoko , lol .

[mdfbr08]

WTF Yoko was doing?

[Danny980223]

I have nothing against yoko ono but i laugued my ass off when she did that

[joelloveshistory]

A lesson to all men out there exactly what can happen if you don't choose wisely. Yoko owning the place un f'n real. On another note, today there would be some little pushy studio exec off camera running out to stop everything the minute yoko starts wailing. It would probably make the evening news today and there would be a press conference the next day to put a spin on yoko's meltdown.

[MAGICO240]

Yoko screw this version.

[ELIMINATORRRR]

I just can't stop laughing at Chuck's eyes at 1:10, they almost popped out of his head! lol. He was thinking 'What the F*ck was that?' or 'Was that the fire alarm going off?' haha :D.

[jeffdonizetti]

BOSTA DE YOKO... SOM HORRIPILANTE!

[APRIL141958model]

At 1:10 rock 'n' roll almost died! :-&

[sakutasu]

they need to remaster this video and edit out that hyena yoko.

[jorgeoscar1000]

it's john's fault that f..... yoko is there

[Elyonia679]

A rabid Yoko appears! It's evolving! Now it's a dragon Yoko!

[ZelbeQahi]

The day the music died is when Chuck Berry has to share a stage with Yoko Ono!

[Chauncy666]

Yoko speaking at 4:48 does not amuse Chuck at all.

[lwc081765]

that dam jap fucked up a good video

[sallyg270]

-.- why . why ruin such a good song!!! John has his moment with one of his Childhood hero's and yoko ruins it ( ive nothing against Yoko as a person.. just when she does that!)!!!!!!!!!!!

[ballabogan]

watch at 3:33 as chuck berry completely denies Yoko on the hand shake. Love it

[Vosveld85]

@ballabogan LOOL, whahaha!!! 3:33 nicely spotted....hahahaha!! Chuck so did that on purpose ; p but than again...after that shit she pulled there, yoko should be glad chuck didnt beat the crap of her instead of just not shaking her hand

[userboy6]

who the hell gave her a microphone?

[100irissa]

Pucha qué es ridícula la Yoko Ono, na que ver que empiece con sus gritos desafinados más encima en canciones así. Sí, a veces sus gritos le daban "algo" de onda a las canciones, pero acá la embarra. Qué desubicada.

[esraretin]

re u kidding that was incredible lol

[rollingstopp]

i love these two so much

[rollingstopp]

its ironic that a 60,s idol of unpresedented-meets a first time around rock pioneer--chuck respects johnnny

[leandroalgenton]

What a fuck was that?!? Is Yoko Chewbacca's sister?!

[rollingstopp]

these two together--is a dream==omg

[pehrml]

Dear Lord! That jpnse woman is awful and doesn't have any idea of that music that Johnny really loved...

[TheRedStallion75]

hey yoko,PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP U CANT SING FOR SHIT BITCH!!!!!!!!! U RUINED THIS VID!!!!!

[victorpagebach]

what the hell is that fucking asiatic whore doing with a mic ?? who gave it to her?? That's what chuck was thinking !!!!

[zoyelque2009]

This is rock n roll baby,it doesnt have to sound pretty always it can sound raw too,i love the two singing together it sounds raw and real.

[MikefromAlabama]

This is an example of the junk Yoko brought to the Beatles and John Lennon. She should have been banned from the stage. I was enjoying this video until she did that monkey noise. How disgusting!

[worldinacup]

@MikefromAlabama Tell me about it... One of my favorite Chuck Berry songs and she had to make that disgusting "sound"...

[neverindoubt]

Chuck only sang with this awful band because of his high regard for John Lennon -- who maybe smoked too much dope to see what a tramp YoYo NoNo was (and is).

[neverindoubt]

No! No! No Yoko!!

[alicecooper19isback]

JAJA NO CANTES YOKO!

[ddaanntthheemmaann]

to yoko, just because you can make noise come out of your mouth. doesnt mean you should.

[MrDDC12]

eww lol at first i thought yoko at 1:10 was a harmonica :P

[lunando9]

john was such a music nerd i love it, i love how hes so excited, i've never seen him so happy, hes paying more attention to chuck than yoko

[ratchetxrc]

@lunando9 Yeh thats because Chuck is his hero and its great that hes not paying much attention to her

[kreeepyy]

@lunando9 Yeah he's just like a kid meeting his superhero..

[jeryd2003]

i enjoyed the duck walk but john lennon was singing like a quack haha

[mrbillhicks]

What the fuck were those two doing anywhere near a stage with a legend like Chuck Berry ??? The cunt can't even sing in tune !!!

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

HERE"S THE FACTS-YOKO-OH-NO IS ONE TOASTED CRISPY CHICK. THERE' S NO IFS AND OR BUTS ABOUT IT.

[MJJFan01]

Music legends!!

[benalchemist74]

thats the point where yoko should have been shot...

[alvin01]

If that bass player is still alive I wonder does he ever watch this & feel ashamed he sounds like the most out of tune useless bass playing clingon to ever play the instrument. Sid Vicious would have done a better job. Wait a minuite, maybe its all the rest of them that are out of tune & he's fine..? This(& Johnny B Goode from the same show) put me off Lennon for the next while. Chucks always out of tune. I forgive Yoko cause She's not actually a musician. Not hating anyone ,just surprised,

[papstbenni]

lol at 1:10 chuck's like what-the-fuck!?

[gladeasy]

@papstbenni hahahaha yep - his eyes

[tariqsiddiqi10]

goose bumps when I saw Lennon!!!!

[nomibe2911]

Wow Chuck expression was priceless. When Yoko made that screeching noise Chuck was like WTF is that. John made an error in my judgment mixing his personal life with business.

[nomibe2911]

Classic video. I never knew Lennon jammed with Chuck. Classic video.

[shareschannel]

1:12 im a bit baked.. freaked me out what was that? holy shit

[kincaide67]

I am a Yoko fan & enjoy most of her albums, but... There are things that are right. There are things that are wrong. In between are the bits of reality called the gray spaces. Experimentation is fine. It's also quite necessary to keep life moving forward. BUT ... Yoko's part here is beyond unnecessary. It's intrusive. But it's also comical. Maybe that was the point. Don't get upset or hate. Have a laugh.?

[5thfemalebeatle]

john has such a sexyy ass... :D

[aimeemannfan2010]

Calling Yoko an artist is really stretching it. I am not a Yoko hater. I think John loved her and was happy with her. But, what did she accomplished before she met John and after his death? This video says alot about Chuck Berry. He had the class and patience to put up with her screeching. Stay cool Chuck!!

[pinchold]

Lennon suddenly an apprentice

[AshStrat1]

hmm , ive seen women locked up for making that kind of noise , what she was doing there in the first place ive no idea

[edn172]

o_O

[septicmedia]

fuck the haters. Yoko rules.

[adri1472beatles]

1:12 Wtf Yoko??

[faunoram]

puede que yoko era muy avant garde y todo eso, pero en el rock n roll del viejo chuck no tenia puta cosa que hacer más que callarse ... !

[TheSWAFF]

Yoko's scream has a certain Roger Waters vocal freakout vibe to it. Don't you think?

[MrNoWhereMan1965]

bloody brilliant!

[jimicoop]

I wonder if John got the lyric "Cold Turkey" from listening to Yoko 'sing'. They say love is blind but in this case apparently it's also deaf! hahaha

[mannyschotz]

What the hell was Yoko doing with a mic?

Dear Lord. That was one of the most frightening human sounds I've ever heard.

[maynardBrannan]

@mannyschotz what the hell???? sounds like a dolphin brutally killed.... she just ruined that recording 

[mannyschotz]

What the hell was Yoko doing with a mic?

Dear Lord. That was one of the most frightening human sounds I've ever heard.

[sweendoger]

Yoko had no place being on that stage... My god, what Chuck msut have been thinking as she cackled.

[jonedc]

what a shame two rock and roll legends get their performance screwed up by an no talent gook!!!

[septicmedia]

@jonedc mmmm, racism, must feel good to be you.

[leeloutournear92]

@Tarn1968 and i know this becuz he had to deal with it when they first got together. they didnt want him with a japenese women they wanted him with an english women. and the press really had them down. i have read and seen so many interviews about this. and i really dont know about this but, i know i really loved her vocals in bungalow bill and i love her songs on double fantasy.

[leeloutournear92]

@Tarn1968 never said you needed to like her singing to be a john fan. if you dont like her singing thats your opinion im just saying that we dont need to make fun of her. she was a part of johns life and indeed did this show with him and chuck wether you like it or not. and her singing didnt change the way john felt about her. im just saying from my point of view that john wouldnt have appreciated that from a fan and prob wouldnt want some one as a fan that said that.

[TheMarianitotv]

JOHN HAS THE LAST WORD BUT I THINK YOKO IS NOT GOOD ENOUGHT HIM

[theahah88]

snoop dogg talks a bit like chuck berry

[elefteria44]

Go out Yoko !

[ed3432]

Chuck should of slapped the shit out of Yoko for ruining his classic.

[leeloutournear92]

why are yall coming on here and criticizing yoko? i like her singing && i love her voice. she made john really happy && she gave him the best years of his life. so shut the fuck up! dont you know that bashing on people gets you nowhere. and she didn't ruin his carrer. he had an amazing solo career words can't describe how much i tresure his solo stuff && i firmily believe alot of his solo stuff was inspired by yoko. i love them both and the world would be a better place if john was still alive.

[Iadiesman2I7]

I personally think that John and Chucks voices are too different, so this doesn't sound as good as if it were just either of them by themselves... needless to say Yoko voice... too diverse for singing at all... she scared me... :(

[Iadiesman2I7]

@Iadiesman2I7

Yoko's*

[genericgeorge]

@Iadiesman2I7 It would have worked had they took a verse each instead of trying to match it with harmony. Lennon just doesn't have a convincing low range and him singing these early rock classics in baritone just sounds mediocre.

[motownmaniax]

You can see Lennon's joy at being with and playing alongside one of his idols and seminal influences. He was probably on a high for weeks afterward. And I was really impressed with Chuck. He was gracious and lucid during the interview.

[pevlez]

no pinches culeros es ke asi se dice en japones "probando,probando 1 2 3"

[pevlez]

"Hey!!, you've got to hide yoko awaaaay"

[sublimekg]

come on yoko. really?

[menotyoudude]

She sounds like a demented monkey on coke.

[dal4018]

@menotyoudude Yes she does what in the name singing was that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[esmonkeys]

son gays los weyes que no les gusto la combinacion de los dioses del rock

[pevlez]

@esmonkeys nos encanto la conmbinacion de chuck y john pero ay un mal tercio alla, te doy una pista: canta como mono drogadicto

[411w44]

F.F.C.H.S

[dal4018]

@411w44 What does those initial stand for?

[jcidelgado2007]

wtf YOKO? FUCKIN JUNKIE OR WHAT! SHE SHUD BE IN A ASYLUM, PLAYING THE BONGO DRUM, GIMME A FKIN BREAK, MAKING MONKEY SOUNDS! WTF, PATHETIC

[17jone]

En el minuto 1:10 me asuste cuando escuche a yoko ono

[Canuckastan]

1:12 Chuck is thinking.."John you got to control your biatch, man!"

[pevlez]

@Canuckastan "Hey!!, you've got to hide yoko awaaaay"

[Beatlesmania8]

@Canuckastan

Yoko Ono is not a "biatch" but an experimental artist, and if you like John you like Yoko. So,

Fuck.

[Frugellhound]

WTF? ,,Yoko,, shes a nutter!,,why??........

[aimeemannfan2010]

Whenever I'm sad or had a tough day, all I have to do is watch this video. When Yoko starts her screeching it puts a smile on my face. I don't hate Yoko. It's just that I don't understand what in the world she is doing on stage? Somebody please explain it to me!

[msinno1969]

yoko was and still is nobody all of johns esate cant be bad for a nobody poor birtch lol

[IamAsi94]

i laughed at first cause i coudltn figure out what was making that noise but after rewinding it over and over again it does sound pretty cool-at least its suprising-something you dont hear at all in music these days-and im only 16

[kotam4307]

Of course she is not Beatles members. I meant Paul, Ringo and George were kind to let her on the stage, only because she's John's wife.

[kotam4307]

LOL!!! Indeed the best part of this show is the look on Chuck's face when Yoko started her awful yelp, hehehe, and when they completely ignore her during the interview.

[wcpom]

When Yoko started with the mike off screen I thought that chickens had some how got on the soundtrack. Why???

[sean57]

yokos chikin garrble at 2.25 is so idiotic !

[TommyWindsor1]

john dont sound to good on this i think paul had a sweeter voice yoko what a waste of space

[TheSnapperfish]

the man who invented rock and roll and the man who changed it forever. happy birthday john

[pevlez]

ke p2 con la changa!!!

[misterhumble]

Holy cow! This is crazy, and not in a really good way. First off - they settled on a key that is too high for Chuck and too low for John. The best part is the look on Chuck's face when Yoko comes in with her yelp. The second best part is when Chuck sort of embraces the nuttiness and says "hello, John!"

[spidermanb101]

Look at John, He;s so star struck =)

[MrSlydie]

Fcking Yoko scares Chuck @ 1.11s! OMG

[MrSlydie]

Fcking Yoko scares Chuck @ 1.11s! OMG

[Blucius13]

I like Yoko's expiremental addition to the song. That screeching really works in some of Lennon's solo work.

[hater38100]

see john he must be feeling like a 18 year old kid again you can see that he love to play with chuck men who wouldn.t be

[rareu4532]

Micheal jackson same level to, that his music sounds exatly like the studio when he sings live...

[elektrosoundwave]

wow, Lennon looked scared to be onstage with Chuck. And WTF Yoko. I don't care about what went on between her and John, if they were happy, then so be it. BUT WTF WAS THAT SICK JUNGLE BIRD NOISE?!?!?!?!?

[FRANKZAPPATITO]

Chuck Berry era el idolo de Lennon,el estaria conciente de eso? Y si lo estaba,porque no le dijo que mandara a la chingada al menos por un rato a la pinche yoko y le permitio tocar junto con ellos? No cabe duda que el amor apendeja!!

[aimeemannfan2010]

I know John loved her but, come on! What was that noise she was making!? Chuck should have hit her in the head with his guitar.

[BastiaanBeerman]

kotam4307? what do you mean? SHE is no beatles member! ;)

[Goedhartbros]

Chuck Berry: "I can never shake his hand." And then he starts to shake John's hand.

This I don't understand. He says he don't want to shake John's hand and then he starts to shake his hand.

[Chrisdrumz]

@Goedhartbros He said "I can never shake this mans hand ENOUGH"

[JonnyDiggs]

1:13 look at chuck's face...says all about yoko's contribution here :[

hail hail rock&roll

[stanibol]

Geez. Anyone who says Yoko broke up the Beatles, is giving her far too much credit. She has not a musical bone in her body, and the bird sounds she produces sounds like a kookaburra with a cicada stuck in its throat. It took something away from the overall performance.

[amazinglyawesomeo]

Why the fuck is Yoko Ono on that stage?

[beerborn]

I think Chuck Berry should have taken that Gibson ES-335 of his and smash it on Yoko's head.

[vylonxic]

First when I heard yoyo I mean yoko, I thought it was an audio problem. I think I'd consider it an audio problem anyways...

[RattleheadDIF]

The pain of watching this will never go away. Poor Chuck, my God! What a terrible situation to find yourself in.

[ColdWaterGrave]

I never really wanted to club yoko until I saw this....STFU! She sounded like a jungle bird choking on a harmonica......painful...sorry John :-/

[Fooblestheclown]

Yoko had no business fucking up this moment in rock n roll history. She was just looking for attention.
