the songs of chuck berry are immortal.

Berry went to jail for income tax invasion. He had a trial, was well represented and convicted by a jury. He had a choice to pay the back taxes, plus penalties, and a fine, or go to jail. He choose jail, which is his right, as an American.
I have no doubt he felt unfairly convicted, or that he has experience enormous racism in his life, or that he gets too little credit for his contributions.
When the Beatles or Springsteen play him they at least help rectify the latter.

Bruce really out does himself with the guitar riffs on this Chuck Berry classic. This is totally consistent with Bruce's dedication to and honor of rock and roll. Man, I wish there was video of this appearance.

@johnny576375 that picture is actually from the main point show

What a rocking version by Bruce and the Band. What energy!! I've got to believe that Chuck would be proud--perhaps envious.

I gave you a thumbs up, even though I disagree, because I don't want your comment to disappear.
It's a great complement when sonwriter, especially a great one, covers another songwriter's songs. I'm sure Chuck appreciated the complement and the royalties.
Springsteen rarely played Chuck Berry, although Berry asked Sprinsten and the E-Street Band to back him up at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame concert. It's on youtube.

He used to climb on the professor's piano a lot:)
