  • What a pity he didn't sing all the verses, so we could learn the lyrics that Lennon mumbled!

  • le roi du rock, un maitre en la matière, excellent, la magie dans les doigts, Bravo Chuck , mr Rock and roll. Aline

  • Manic's do a great cover of this track.

  • the true king of rock `n`roll!!!

  • Sorry Chuck, but The Beatles outdid your song. By a long shot.

  • @ChocolateHoneycomb nahh this just has its natural feeling which cannot be covered. Especially this live version.

  • Someone already pointed out, so I'll be so courteous to repeat the good gentleman's/lady's words>>>:

    Elvis may be the king of Rock but if it weren't for Mr.Berry there would be no kingdom!

    :)))

  • We're all gods. But some of us are just a little more godly - god darn it

  • nobody answered in French.......;o) moi je veux Rock & Roll Music....merci

  • C'est pas Offspring ou U2 qui pourrait envoyer gros comme ça!!!

  • Amazing!!!!  those people used to be sit watching a Rock concert...

  • Oft kopiert doch nie erreicht.Ein echter klassiker von Chuck.

    Grüße vom Peter df Berlin Germany

  • To the arguements to Elvis Presley vs Chuck berry I personally prefer Elvis though this video isnt about argueing with two damn brilliant rock n roll artists however Chuck berry beat the beatles a mile off with this song and every song he made and credit to him for his contrubtion to the great music of Rock n roll!

    Chuck berry <3

  • Love this song. Best version is The Beatles simply on the account of Lennon's superb vocal performance. Credit to Chuck though - guitar godfather.

  • Sweet!

  • Siempre Vivira uN Grupo C omo estos!!!

  • How is chuck berry better than elvis when elvis has over 1 billion fans. Second Elvis music evolve and became a more international star then any entertainer before him and after.

  • @vgus13 Because Elvis walked on a road, while Chuck MADE the road!!

    You measure a musician for his fans?? Britney Spears has, has had and will have millions of them, and I don't think that she's better than anybody...

    And if it is about evolving and being international, The Beatles were better and much more famous than Elvis. They were a Revolution!!!

  • @walaguala the Beatles were a bunch of heroin junkies and they can't even sing.

  • @vgus13 hahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha you're retarded

  • @scottelement Yeah and your annoying.

  • @vgus13 yea & you'RE a horrible speller.

  • @scottelement oh really check again yea isn't spelled like that your missing the h at the end.

  • @vgus13 wtf are you stupid or what? I really love Chuck Berry, but the Beatles are just GODS!!!! and I think John's cover of this song was brilliant.

  • @Dratini999 How am I stupid your the one that is stupid the Beatles aren't God's if they were that good why did they break up then.

  • fuck chuck berry yeah ok he could write his own songs but he can't sing better than elvis.

  • @vgus13 Now lets play nice

  • DEATH METAL! (y)

  • Music these days just dont sound like it used to thats for sure. They all sound terrible now. The cool music all came out before I was born.

  • Comment removed

  • @SmelOdies Chuck was even ever a bit a buffoon, or not?

  • Comment removed

  • The real KING!

  • fucking goddddd

  • How can you fuckin say "fuck Elvis" !? Are you lost your mind !? He was the greatest entertainer that ever live. And guess what ? I love Chuck Berry too ! And LIttle Richard, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Bill Halley - they were all great. So stop arguing about whose better and shut the fuck up and enjoy the fuckin music !

  • @KwiatkowskiArtur fuck elvis he not the real king he just white can even make his own songs

  • Si elvis es el rey del rock, CHUCK BERRY fué el que lo invento, por lo tanto no hay más rey que, CHUCK BERRY.

  • He really has that sense of cool, relaxed confidence that one only gets from knowing they have cameras installed in their toilets.

  • the coolest cat there ever was, on stage!!!

  • Love how he connects with the audience....not full of himself.

  • Totally agree with win151

  • Elvis sings Chuck songs Chuck never sung Elvis songs so who had the more talent ? yes Chuck Beery.

  • Elvis wasn't the Father of Rock 'n Roll, but i'll tell ya one thing he is the King of Rock 'n Roll. Highest selling artist of all time according to RCA.

  • @TheGreatMando64 Nah it's Beatles

  • CHUCK BERRY THE GODFATHER OF ROCK

  • Not so very strange Beatles became the best ban in history... They listen to him, Eddie Cochran and all the other great rock n' rollers.

    And does anyone what the chord he's opening with? about at 0:21 or something

    E+ ?

    e- x

    B- 5

    G- 5

    D- 6

    A- 7

    E- x

  • @joriszsz Dude grab your guitar and just play it and listen like everybody else man. Hendrix, Page, Knopfler and stevie ray vaughn never used tabs.

    You have ears and fingers use them dude :)

  • @3star2nr Yeah, I know... I'm working things out myself, now... :)

  • @joriszsz Sounds like Eb7 to me. The song was written in E, so I think his guitar is tuned down and he played it a half step lower.

  • Some people call Chuck Berry the Grandfather of Rock

  • Chuck Berry killed Bo Diddly music.

  • The real king!

  • i wish i was born in the '60 so that i could enjoy the pleasure of this kind of music!!!

  • @SanaBoom  but, `60 is also to late... ;-}) much greetings from old germany

  • @evilbono1992  ahaha you are so right!!! I'm gonna build a kind of Time Machine;D

  • I like the beatles version better

  • @TJS2400

    Me too.

    John's voice is just amazing and the Beatles sound is marvelous.

  • When I was in high school, Chuck Berry came and played at our school, even the teachers couldn't sit still. He really knows how to wake up a room. He's one of the best. Thanks for posting!

  • It's funny when i heard this song 4 the first time in a long tim I thought he was white guy singing not the great C Beery great song whish they had on here on record not just live greatest R&R writer him & L Richie the true best R&R act thanks.

  • How many classics did this man write? Too much to mention. Classic rehearsal stuff for the next 3 generations of rockgroups. And how is it possible that those people in the video were just sitting there instead of dancing to that rock & roll music?

  • watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

  • Chuck's expressions in the last minutes are priceless!

  • They played this everyday for 3 months on American Bandstand for their dance contest.

  • HEY WATCH IT ..... U CAN say he's one of the best rock 'n' roll singers .... but u can't say fuck elvis cous he is( KING OF ROCK AND ROLL ) .. SO FUCK U

  • HEY WATCH IT ..... U CAN say he's one of the best rock 'n' roll singers .... but u can't say fuck elvis cous he is( KING OF ROCK AND ROLL ) .. SO FUCK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • listening to this it hurts to see what white people made outta rock n roll....rock n roll had soul back then ....now its just a dead body

  • Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeep !

    What a sound.

    Timeless songs !!!!

  • Perv

  • Mos Def could play as Chuck Berry if there was ever a biography film.

  • toute ma jeunesse !!!!

  • ,,johnny b. goode!"

    Gash those people don't appreciate all of his music just this one song. It's a great shame couse he really was a great musician.

  • @FatCowOfChaos IS a great musician 

  • "Quaska laouvula" = qu'est ce que vous voulez ? = what do you want to hear ?

  • Guys, any idea if I could get that whole concert somewhere? What is it called?

  • Whats a quaska laouvula?

  • hahah chuck fukin killed it haha dam

  • @daddyseek67 he wrote it

  • @crazyturtlevideos hahah ummm yes.... i know this ...

  • I think have that song on a vinyl disk wich is preformed by Bill Haley...

  • He wrote this !! And he must have some credit for inspiring those that followed - Including the Beatles etc. However he was not the only pioneer of what became Rock as we know it today. Everyone in the successive decades added their own bit to the mayhem !! I can even remember Mick Jagger trying to tell us that he was an anarchist !! . Nowadays he has a Knighthood by the way ? - Is That cool ?

  • He wrote this !! And he must have some credit for inspiring those that followed - Including the Beatles etc

  • Why don't my speakers get louder!?!?!

  • Fuck the Beatles version. Listen to this great music.

  • nossa lenda vival!l!

  • wow--rock--Chuck--rock--he's now 83 and still writing and performing--his mama didn't raise no fool--Chuck gets paid cash in full for the gig BEFORE he will step on stage--good for you--Chuck!

  • Its a great song- and I like this version- but The Bealtes' version fits the song more because of Lennon's hard serious loud rock voice

  • I'm so glad the rock n roll era existed- so much great music came out of that era- from Berry to Beatles to Stones

  • klasika? ale dobre fakt

  • ВСПОМИНАЮ СТУДЕНЧЕСКУЮ МОЛОДОСТЬ!!!! Как отплясывали рок-нролл !!!!

  • to everyone!! atention, atention. need tabs to the best rock n roll songs!!!

    anyone who have some, pls send me a message.

    thank you

  • He is theeee mannnnnnnn .

  • nice masterpiece sir.

  • no doubts chuck is the best. he "gave birth" to the rock 'n roll. 

  • i dont care about led zeppelin the who the beatles the stones or any of the british invasion bands

    THE AMERICANS MADE ROCK N ROLL

  • Chuck Berry made rock and roll

  • bueno muy bueno ...

  • Any body know if Chuck is still going.???

  • @malcjow

    Yes , he still has a busy schedule for a man of almost 84 years!

  • @2009framat I love him \

  • @malcjow

    yep, saw him in 07. He was great

  • fuck beatles! I thought that it was there music. and elvis was not a king of rock n roll. he was not a rock n roll musician at all. his music is just shitty POP!

  • @insanewarlock666

    Don't blame Beatles or Elvis for not knowing about the history of rock & pop.

    Just enjoy the music and if you want to blame somebody then blame yourself for being ignorant but not other great musicians .-)

    BTW Elvis recorded almost two years before Chuck Berry. The Label was SUN RECORDS - a BLUES LABEL!!!!!!!!!!!!! He recorded songs by ARTHUR CRUDUP a BLUESMAN and ROY BROWN a R&B SINGER! Check them out & stop talking nonsense!

  • @2009framat chuck berry is still god of rock n roll!

  • @insanewarlock666

    You did not understand the message I guess!

  • @2009framat I understand it. please watch Cadillac records and you will understand... everything :D

  • @insanewarlock666

    I watched Cadillac Records (I quit after 50 minutes) which is a fairy tale.

    Many things are made up to please the movie going crowd. Hollywood did such things in the past (a good example is THE GLENN MILLER STORY from the 50's with Hollywood legend JAMES STEWART). These Kind of films are star

    vehicles for today's pop stars & another way to make money.If you want to

    know about CHUCK BERRY better watch HAIL HAIL ROCK &ROLL from 1986.

  • @2009framat please watch ending! it's truth. :)

  • father of BLUES!

  • The back up musicians are crap! theyre always missing the time, like the drums on the beggining.

  • I completely agree, its artists like this who indeed did start the musical revolution of Rock And Roll, the world of music owe these guys a lot

  • Una calidad.

  • @Kiffffik_ it's really sad that some of these Legends now Perform at Walmart &Bestbuy stores..it's truly a shame , even in their own country they don't get their due..I wish they would all move to Australia..here they would be treated like the True Kings they truly are...

  • @kidistfan1 aussies rule!

  • @Kiffffik_Just listen to the old interviews & documentaries made..well i'm sure your Media doesn't want u to know about them..but here in Australia u can pick up any of these Doc at any Lib and bookstore mate..While all those Pioneers of Rock n Roll were starving & could barely book any Gig, People like Clapton, Gary, & the Rolling stones were meanwhile, making shit loads of money out of their talent...

  • @KiffffiK_lol i'm from Australia & have been a U.S Citizen for almost 12 yrs..in other words.sorry if it's shocking to you but ..yes i'm Whilte..Lol I'm just so confused that everytime a person doesn't belive Elvis invented Rock N Roll..there either Delusional or yet they may be "Black" and hate his sucess..lol u can believe me when i say, that i'm none of those things mate_u have to open your eyes & see that not everyone believes in the lies you've been told to Believe, by your media...

  • @kidistfan1 I don't believe Elvis Invented Rock N Roll, I believe That Blues-The black contributor- And Country- The white contributor- not including many other styles by bolth Whites and Blacks were combined. That is not Media that is fact.

  • @KiffffiK I believe the person who wrote Rocket 88 made music. However, Chuck Berry drastically improved it.

  • Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters,John Lee hooker, Little Richard, Howlin Wolf & all the other blue's Greats who are so Underated here in America Were the TRUE KINGS OF ROCK N ROLL...no if's or but's about it...Elvis is overrated as Hell..80% of his songs are taken from all of those BLACK artists who never got their Due & were even starving here in their own country...

  • @kidistfan1 Hummm, BLACK? I am enclied to think you don't like Elvis because he is WHITE. If that is true please keep in mind with out the early WHITE music that inspired bolth Blues and Rock there would be no... Well, Blues or Rock. Rock N Roll was made by bolth Blacks AND Whites.

  • i like more P.Ramlee rock and roll in malaysia in 1940s to 70s

  • lol 0:19 wat kind of what? lol i love his facial expressions

  • Chuck Berry's version has the raw sound of early rock n' roll.

    The Beatles' version has a more contemporary feeling to it.

    The Beach Boys have a unique energy in it.

    Three different recordings of a classic, important rock song by three classic, important rock bands. Beautiful.

  • with no doubt he is the King and not Elvis...he is fake

  • no matter who sings it, what color that person is, classic rock n' roll is king!

  • I like the beach boys version more, but Johnny B Goode is better than anything!

  • Wonderful, he is so cool!

    Anybody else think Mos Def looks a little like him?

  • This man was really the father of Rock 'N' Roll. His four consecutive hits from 1955 to 1958 (Maybellene, Roll over Beethoven, Rock and Roll Music, Johnny B. Goode) prove that fact. Now, it's disappointing when some other asshole takes credit for what Chuck Berry did... so I say, fuck Elvis and long live Mr. Berry. You sir rock!

  • @mel577 did you just say fuck Elvis?

  • when black people wear theyr pants low

    white people call it ''saggin''

    spell ''saggin''backwards.

    sneaky white people

  • this guy would kick snoopdogs ass

  • -and had talent

  • para mi chuck es mejor que elvis y el dee ser el padre del rock and roll

  • bullshit the beatkes version was better! this man created rock and roll and all be it the beatles are great but only berry can do this song.....

  • If he sings that it's a real story!

    Other bands just sings that song without knowing what they are singing.

  • @macca63

    He is the real King of Rock'n' Roll.

    the only there is.

  • if you like this and want the real truth behind this music then watch the movie "cadilac records"

  • great guy!!! he invented rock!

  • Love him absolutely!!

  • wo0ow

    es una leyenda wow

    we love chuck

    and

    i ♥ the beatles

    saludos desde mexico

    =)

  • Can Annyone tell me what Guitar that is?

  • Gibson es 335

  • i played a really old one they're pretty cool a bit too clean though

  • @666DILLINGER check out the velvet underground "live at max's" cd, lou reed plays one on there - cool sound.

  • @putdownan8dude ES-355 [two 5s]

  • i rather etta james version!

  • beatles version is waaaay better

  • If not for Chuck Berry's version, there would be no version for the Beatles (or Etta James for that matter) to sing at all. Always funny to read those kinds of comments.

  • Chuck Berry wrote it, but you are right the Beatles version was better. Ironically enough, Beatles version sounds more black than Chuck's version

  • @WhoLueYou what the hell are you smoking? go drink another starbucks
