[yacox666]

grande chuck



[mrTomine]

Nah, i don't like this. Too generic! A lot of songs from the fifties have the same "melody". I'm sure that Berry didn't spend ten minutes composing this. I like Johnny B. Goode and You never can tell, but this stuff is awful.

[Vash0Estampida]

So epic Dylan needed to do his own copy.

[heyathere1000]

I hate chuck berry he's such a uncle tom-it's such a shame all the hell blacks went through and been their slaves and blacks like chuck berry try to be white what a disgrace and a shame-a flop and a failure. Boy blacks have it so bad-God have mercy.

[strandwolf]

@heyathere1000 You know nothing about Chuck Berry.

[heyathere1000]

@strandwolf an apple is an apple-one thing I know about chuck berry is he was a uncle tom.

[slugsucker]

@heyathere1000 You are so full of it, piss off! Unless you were his age, black, growing up in the same part of the same city in the same fking era, then you should just shut up! He was and is and will always remain one of the premier pioneers of an incredible purely American art form, a living legend. "Trying to be white"?! WTF? That just shows how little you know about rock and roll, a purely American black art form that revolutionized the entire global music scene.

[vinegaroon1]

Is that Bobby Keyes on sax?

[kernelpanikteam]

AC/DC's "Showbusiness" is sooooo similar to this song! Now I know where they got the idea!

[greg7g7]

1:45 ---> Keith Richards - what the fuck? xD

[clfetter]

keith best song!

[youcdl]

is it keith richards???

chuck berry the best - fuck off the beatles who just ruined this fantastic song

[justmyster1976]

Elvis version 10000 times better

[justmyster1976]

Chuck wrote it. No1 does it like Elvis though.

[SweetZuni]

Go, Keith!! Go, Go, Go!!

[buffalobilly]

was this the first rap song?

[coolyjojo]

Rap? Chuck Berry did it with style and you could hear the words. P.dIddy and the rest take some notes. This is sheer class. A true pop star, who wrote his own songs and performed them in his own unique way. When most of today's pop wannabees have come and gone, Chuck Berry's music will still be around. Will we see a rock and roll revival? It's in the hands of tomorrow's youth, who may never see the likes of the exitement and true talent that the rock and roll generation had seen

[dakarlion1]

Classic Chuck Berry performance

[grungeis12]

インチキだらけのビジネスはごめんだぜ！！！！

[123MasTequila]

The God Father of Rock and Roll PERIOD. Thanks mpontvww.

[0Rom10]

"GO Keith, GO GO GO!"

[yellingelk]

I must say... Keef did really well on this one!

[TheInvisiblebob]

Chuck Berry is the progenitor, without him (and Jonnie Johnson on piano) we would not have modern music as we know it. It all goes back to him. Look at Keith's face when he's playing the solo, he gets to play in front of his absolute idol...we could all be so lucky. Long live Chuck!

[searcherboy]

Now that's the real sh*t. 

[lavalleej1]

one for george bush

[avarandado]

Pity the backing band was so pedestrian

[mtavares92]

@Plan9Franko Elvis sucks !

[mihaitube]

oh man, why did i have to be born in the 90s? i feel deprived.

[wjv4me]

Great phrase (& song!) Thanks for posting it!

[moveifan101]

if you look a keith richards at 0.59 he looks like a constipated man sitting on a toilet

[moveifan101]

is it just me but does that pencil neck fucker get on your nerves

[XtrmMcjohnson]

Lennon did this song great justice with his vocals on The Beatles BBC sessions, Ringo does a great job too giving the song a great groove.

[stoprejectingmynames]

Wow Chuck Berry and Keith Richards sharing a stage that's an amazing collaboration.

[EloiWeena]

real and best music

[wjv4me]

A+++

[ralphcraddock]

listern to chucks original recording of this classic

if you want the real gas.

no offence keith but?

[skates12000]

Rocco , I grew up with this guy ,,,,saw Him in a/c steel pier ( i was 8 ) and still see chuck in b b kings on 42nd street , in nyc old now but young people dont appricate him as much

enjoy

Billy

[shaneh1983]

great song

[robtjonz]

The key is knowing when to pronounce the word as "biznis" and when to pronounce it as "bidnis". That's my opinion.

[ASTELECT]

chuck berry for president!

[76Bernal]

El Rock'n'Roll es Chuck Berry y Keith Richards, y ningún patillero racista y analfabeto con zapatones me lo discuta.

[mistercarlton]

7 Verses to get right and Chucks the only one to nail them .Try and find another one on Utube thats in the right order,.I know as I sing it on occations and have to have it key word written out....Like or hate rap you have to admire the memory stick thats called the brain...

[hogartz]

Keith Richards here such strange))

[aghmpa]

I wish there were more black rockers

[designermite]

Keith Richards & Check Berry all dresssed up with somewhere to go...

[MilkyLicker3587]

Too Much-a Monkey Bid-ness.

[chinaboyd]

first song i saw from chuck berry, and i can without a doubt say i like it, found it from the yardbirds cover. damn, are there any more modern day covers of this song. love it!! just needs to stop slurring his words and getting drunk XD but damn!! :P im going to bet that nobody younger than me has seen this!!! (16)

[daviddpb75]

Is that the first lady Michelle obama at :10

[MilkyLicker3587]

@daviddpb75 - No, that woman was too good looking to be Michelle Obama. I could see how you made that mistake though since the song title fits.

[SuperElvispresley]

yeahhh viva chuck berry y keit richards

[snookerjam]

ha ha my god he is drunk good here...he he he still a true rock n roll star...

[MilkyLicker3587]

@snookerjam - Nah, he's not drunk. He's just clowning around.  Watch the whole performance sometime.

[dyad2r1]

Much of his music is poetry, and he delivers it in a crisp, staccato manner in words that are easily understandable and tremendously appealing combined with the beat of guitars and drums. R&R at it's best!

[dyad2r1]

Chuck Berry is the the true "King of Rock and Roll." Unlike Elvis, Chuck personally wrote almost every one of his hits. It's hard to believe he's 83 now, still writing and still performing.

[ivagandu]

@dyad2r1 Ohhh...I get it...the real true king of rock is actually the writers....what about Leiber & Stoller....who wrote Hound Dog, Jailhouse rock etc. Songs far more successful than Berrys...are they the true kings...I guess they sang demos...yeah that makes them the kings...hurray!!

Who wrote the song doesn't mean shit.....it's the performance that counts...and Elvis's performances changed the music business...Berrys, as great as they were, didn't!!!

[Leroyfis]

@ivagandu you couldn't be more right!!! Elvis will be The King forever. That Chuck plays better guitar and can write 3-chord songs (not that it is that easy... but still) doesn't make him the King. I love this songs version of Elvis!

[mtavares92]

@Leroyfis Elvis sucks

[elvispresley11]

well too bad, fact is Elvis the King and you can't do nothin about it:D

[keifrich]

2 Masters at work

[wtfhah]

@keifrich i hope you don't mean the 2 folks that are monkeyin' around thumbing this video down..

[ivansitooooo]

waoooooooooooooooooooo

[elvispresley11]

Chuck berry is great..but Elvis suffered for Rock n' Roll...in the 1950's all the critics and parents were so mad at how he performed, which is Rock n Roll...that's what I call a rock n roll pioneer...those other guys like Jerry Lee Lewis or Chuck Berry weren't ON THE NEWS every single day! Elvis is the King!

[monsterific]

Chuck would have been if he would have been white!

He's the real king of rock. Lousy racist bastards stole his crown!

[klinkumb]

@monsterific

Totaly agree...Cuck is the king of rock..! Elvis is nothing compared!

[RockNostalgic]

@klinkumb : THANK YOU !!! finally someone who's on my mind ;) !

Elvis Presley is sooo overrated in my view !

[ivagandu]

@RockNostalgic Your view doesn't change history!!! Berry was great, but he didn't have the appeal or diversity needed to become a superstar,,,,so Berry is what he is...still great. But Elvis became the legend due to his unmatched combination of rythm, voice, diversity, looks and creativity. Overrated..no way....There are no 50's concert recorded on video bt Elvis...but watch the 68¨special and you'll see the difference between superstar and a great rocker

[SwampDaddy7]

@ elvispresley11

Some of the Rockers were too busy ROCKIN' to be doing movies, appearing on the news and being the poster boy. I mean don't get me wrong, but Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee were the real Kings . . . mostly Chuck 'cause he was there first.

[Cam6769]

Chuck berry is the king numbnuts! he was on the news just as much even more than Elvis. A negroe playing rubish music that made the young white audience want to shake their hips and get down was way more news worthy.

[elvis4ever1935]

at least Elvis had scarvs when he was sweatin' he needs a towel BADLY!

[Orishos]

ok, ok....for one he's sixty here, i have a lottttt of berry albums, and fuck he sings it better than elvis or the beatles, its almost like me saying johnny romone sings a better version of good rockin tonite because elvis hasn't sung a good version in years. oh well elvis just plain sucks, chuck berry and muddy waters made rock n' roll, thats my opinion.

[elvis4ever1935]

dude he sounds like he dont give a crap how he sings this....Elvis has the best version!!!

[steveconn]

The song that inspired Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues (listen to the meter and rhythm; the same).

[pepys1633]

So many people have tried this song, but no one has delivered it the way his author meant it. Great Chuck Berry!

[mojdragiluka]

yess I agree, Chuck is the only one.

[mojdragiluka]

@pepys1633 Yes Great Chuck. I agree with you. So nice, didni it.

[Dio9O9]

@pepys1633 I think Lennon sings better

[ACDCFan15Swe]

Great track

[Apjooz]

Gotta love Chuck and AC/DC eh...:)

[ACDCFan15Swe]

Of course! They're very good and there wouldnt be any AC/DC as we know 'em today without Chuck Berry =P

[marwray1]

To much monkey business for me to be involved in. Love you CHUCK. M S WEST WALES UK. GOD BLESS.

[ginecologist]

Pure talent and a great backup!

rock & roll at its very best. CHUCK BERRY the one and only!

[wwef6lrsm]

I got this at home and i love it!

[gangs2grace]

I like this Chuck Berry Tune a long with Keith R, They really did a good job I like this Song and the Beat is easy to get down to, Hey to much M B.

[modernlover0rosalyn]

This is amazing, what the hell is this from? I need it...kieth, chuck? didn't even know this happened, very nice*

[stratman323]

It's from Hail Hail Rock n' Roll. Keith put a top band together to put on a show in St. Louis to celebrate Chuck's 60th birthday. Essential viewing for anyone who like Chuck or Keith. Watching Chuck wind up Keef is wonderful....

[jballard459]

those guys are simply the best...too bad John Lennon and George couldn't join in

[dkstryker]

keef richards is the man! my true hero and so is chuck

[FRIJJMONSTA]

A love the facial expressions

[CaughtEsset]

This is great

[donneric]

what is the official setlist of the gig

[keifrich]

The great Bobby Keys blowin a killer sax

[BluesmanDizzy]

Not one of Chuck's best versions of this great song, almost singing out of key here and there.

Keith Richards does a fine job with the guitar solo part though.

[xeroxhands]

Absolutely agreed.

Hey...an icon playing with his icon...wonderful :o)

And yeah, Bobby Keys is like Zoot, the sax is his axe.
