Hail,Hail Rock n Roll - Chuck Berry movie


JONEZY

Recommended Posts

This was filmed at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis in 1986-87. Keith Richards was the band leader, Robert Cray was also in the band. Special guests were Eric Clapton, Julian Lennon, Linda Rondstadt and others. Its a pretty good documentary/concert film. Especially the interviews with Keith Richards,Bruce Springsteen etc..

Look for the argument between Chuck and Keith at Chuck's house in Wentzville, its classic. Also, while rehearsing some songs, Chuck teaches Keith how to play his songs "Chuck Berry style". Keith wasn't exactly happy, but he didn't get pissed at the legend.
