I just heard too. 90 years is a pretty good stretch. Reflecting on the man, his music was nothing virtuous but it's impact is reverberating to this day. He was part of a musical movement that seduced many an impressionable ear and I count myself as one of the initiated. For better or worse, I will always appreciate the joie de vivre he in part lent to what has come to be known as rock and roll.

Even if you weren't influenced by him, you were influenced by him.

Roll over Beethoven.

Thanks for everything, Chuck.
I sure wish he had lived long enough to see the release of his forthcoming album.

Sometimes our legends do die, and Chuck, sadly, was no exception. The man toured many years of his later career playing only with pick up bands. That's balls.

RIP Mr Berry... your influence will be with us, always...

Good stuff! I like it. 8)

It's impressive that a ninety year old rocks out.
But the sound is horrible. That guitar sounds like an egg cutter.
Wish they'd re-amp the guitar parts to make them sound better. So it would be a better salute to the legend called Chuck Berry.
-
I'm guessing that the guitar sounds exactly like Chuck wanted.

Nice video!

you can tell its chuck three notes in. the other guitar player with the 'bad' tone might be his son who played on several tracks.

reassuring to know that everyone goes through stops and starts like that. ;D

Heresy, Rob! That is the way Chuck sounds and the way he should sound. I wouldn't want to hear him with a more porcessed sound but exactly like this: twangy and scratchy, with not much sustain and right out of an amp that sounds like no one bothered to set it up.
Thanks Chuck for all the great music and witty lyrics. And for teaching these limeys to play a song in a major key for once.

That's what I mean. I don't hear a real amp. I hear an egg cutter through some poor modelling amp.

It just sounds like Chuck Berry to me.

I've never heard a well-produced Chuck Berry track in my life. I always thought that there was a gulf between how his records sounded and those of, say, Little Richard. But Chuck's work was so strong and idiosyncratic, it really didn't matter. Not that Little Richard wasn't great too - his vocal histrionics (Berry was a lot more laid back) influenced an army of hard rock singers. And Prince.

Berry was always basic and raw sounding to me. I liked that.
