@JNagarya Thanks so much for your comment ! I do not wish to enter a competition between Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones. Everyone has given evidence of their talent. :-)

@rocknsixties Chuck Berry was solo, with little other instrumentation, and both played guitar and sang. It's a lot easier to play an instrument, such as a guitar, if someone else is doing the singing.
-
@axxellein And weren't getting anywhere much until they shelved their cover of Berry's "Come On," and recorded and released "I Wanna be Your Man," written for them by Lennon and McCartney.
-
@lophatmike Bands with piano players weren't viwed as cool? That didn't apply to The Beatles. And there is piano, on stage, played by Brian Jones, on (as I recall) "Sweet Lady Jane".
Then again, The Beatles opened it up with their experimentations with exotic instruments, making it acceptable for everyone else to try it.

@Dthunderchicken Yes, it was. And "Route 66" was a cover of Nat King Cole.
-
@vlado279 There was no shortage then of arrogant rock stars who thought they were gods.
-
@rocknsixties In the US it was, "The Rolling Stones Now!"
-
@JNagarya Berry's version was a cover too. The original was the Bradley Trio from about 1940.
-
@vlado279 Originally by Chuck Berry, without whom Richards would have to have found some other riff to play to death.

you can tell Keef is having a blast, and Brian too...
Thank you ROCKNSIXTIES !!! Wouaaah...This is rock...energy and perfectly played...great guitar sessions and riffs by Richards...so far from today electronic, unhuman and arrogant musicians considering themselves as gods...A good lesson of simplicity to learn from the masters of all times : The Rolling Stones !
