March 18th, 2017 we lost the pioneer of Rock N' Roll, Chuck Berry. As a huge Stones fan, I've read my share on The Rolling Stones, and the impact Chuck had on Keith Richards was huge! It's kind of scary thinking where Rock N' Roll would be now had Mr. Berry not created some of these iconic songs like "Johnny B. Goode," "Reelin" & Rockin."
So Thank you Chuck Berry & Rock In Peace!
Several bands have honored Chuck at recent concerts by covering "Johhny B. Goode." Check out performances from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Bon Jovi, and Drop Kick Murphy's below.
I stumbled across this gem at arecord store, and swiped up this bad boy on cassette for under a buck! Frickin' score man! One of my favorite live albums ever recorded, check out Chuck Berry - Live at The Fillmore '67....
