Why I hate Chuck Berry. In 1972, we hired Chuck for a concert and as (normal) terms of the contract we were to provide Chuck with a backup band, fender amp and provide him a Gibson 335 guitar for the show. I was thrilled to loan the legendary Chuck Berry my Gibson 335 and when the show ended, Chuck placed the 335 on the guitar stand and left the stage. A fan jumped on the stage and grab the guitar and ran out the fire door of the auditorium thinking that he absconded Chuck Berry's guitar.
@surfstomp I think your hate should be directed towards the thief, or whomever was in charge of security.
I was friends with a band named, the Woolies, who backed Chuck near Lansing, Michigan in the summer of 1974. He showed up with his own guitar, as described in this story, & as shown in the movie, "Hail, Hail, Rock & Roll."
That s a bummer. I just took a glance on eBay and what is described as an "original," 1960 veserion of that guitar has a "Buy it Now," price of $39,995.

This guy is acting all like he's someone special just cuz he met Chuck Berry...dude your nothin more than a backup player who never made it. You cant hold a candle to Mr. Berry!
Bruce is so precious. He sounds like a kid here! He is a true American poet. Been listening to him all my life. Would love to see him live one day. BRUUUUUCE!
Germany systematically uses torture and murder to silence any opposition. Some of the murders known to the public: Uwe Barschel, Jürgen Möllemann, Heiner Gehring, Martina Pflock, Tron, Karl Koch, Bernd Seiffert, Kirsten Heisig, Fritz Bauer.
My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during 5.5 years by the German BND. He was assassinated on 11.7.09 because of our homepage.

Is this man absolutely GORGEOUS or what?! OMG! Look how beautiful he is! This is the Bruce Springsteen I fell in love with when I was 11 years old. I think Hugh Jackman looks just like Bruce at this age, doesn't he? Bruce is still looking good though and the man is 60 years old, God love him!
aww <3 hes just too cute! he didnt even know that he would become an even greater legend!!!! he's 60 now. . .i have a feeling he's got too many other good stories to tell his kids! :)
Hail, Hail Rock & Roll is a great documentary & concert. This is one of the better anecdotes. Springsteen's a great story teller. It's too bad he didn't play in the film's concert. It would have great to have seen him on stage with Chuck.
Great little story, I especially like how humble and star-struck he is. He seems like a genuinely decent bloke you could have a beer with.

Bruce and the E-Street Band back up Chuck at the concert at the opening of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It's on youtube somewhere.
