Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll
The year was 1986, and the location was St. Louis. Keith Richards assembles a pickup band for Chuck Berry's 60th birthday, consisting of Robert Cray, Joey Spampinato, Eric Clapton, himself, and long-time Berry pianist, Johnnie Johnson. Berry performs classic rock songs on stage with Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, and Julian Lennon. His abilities as a composer, lyricist, singer, musician, and entertainer are on display, and he is discussed in behind-the-scenes interviews by Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springstein, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, and others. Berry even has a rehearsal, which is unusual for him. This master's portrait is rounded out by archival footage from the early 1950s and a duet with John Lennon.
