Saw Chuck in '83/'84 and I can safely say that it was the worst live show I have ever paid money for. Lousy backing band and Chuck sat on a bar stool the whole show not giving 2 fucks. But you can't deny Chuck's grandeur as RnR Patient #1

Hey, I was at that great Chuck Berry/Little Richard concert at Westbury Music Fair that Dave mentioned! The best part for me was when Chuck asked for requests from the audience. Amongst much campaign shouting from the assembled crowd (I mean, people were requesting Johnny B. Goode) I asked for Nadine, and Chuck turned around and played Nadine! Just like that. What a night.

Chuck , Jerry Lee and Little Richard were instrumental ( NPI ) in my starting to play piano. When I head them , I thought ,hey I can do something like that .You just had to learn a left hand pattern and then beat the hell of top register w triplets . Of course it gets more complicated but you could sound like you knew what your were doing , to people that didn't know any better, fairly soon

When I heard Chuck Berry died, I was sad but also thought the description of him dying around lunchtime was cool. If I die, I think checking out on a weekend around lunchtime is basically not that bad a time/place to go.

Just a very slight tangent, a poor homeless man was killed this past Monday but some a-hole. But the victim had a pretty cool Twitter account and when I saw this one post he made two days before his own death about John Lennon and Chuck Berry, I really froze. Sad and beautiful world. twitter.com...

I saw Chuck Berry twice. The first time was surprisingly good and the second time wasn't bad. The first time was 1985 in Wichita at the local arena. Chuck nearly filled the place on Saturday night whereas the rest of this Friday-Sunday event was otherwise poorly attended. The local band that backed him up was the Wichita Linemen, a country band that was very popular in the area for about twenty years. Chuck was so happy with the band that he shook hands with all the guys in the band after EVERY song and repeatedly praised them. Roy Orbison played at this festival all three days, too. The other time I saw Chuck was at the Pageant in St. Louis on his 75th birthday in 2001. Little Richard was also on the bill. Since it was a special event in Chuck's hometown they both made a good effort which paid off musically. Chuck even signed autographs for a whole ten minutes. Way back in 1980 my wife and I found Berry Park in Wentzville, MO. There was a lot of driving South of I-70 in the Western suburbs of St. Louis. Lots of very expensive homes in heavily wooded areas. Finally, there was the front gate with a sign on it. We dared not enter even though the gate was open but by golly we found it. This was some years after it was open to the public.

Grew up in St. Louis. Now living in SF. This song speaks to me. I'll never forgive myself for not seeing Chuck at Blueberry Hill. He was such a fixture in that part of town, you figure you'll see him sometime...but then you move away.

I prefer the Elvis version of Promis Land... The King had a really solid band ... more bottom to the sound....but he couldn't have done it if Chuck hadn't wrote it
