- Summary:
- Matrix of rock and roll on an equal footing with the delirious Little Richard, Chuck Berry had an obvious influence on groups like the Rolling Stones or the Beatles, who in their beginnings revisited the repertoire of the American guitarist via the phenomenal "Come On" and "Roll Over Beethoven". These different and significant covers say a lot about the ancestry of Chuck Berry and his imprint on the International music scene. The result of an explosive mix of rhythm and blues, jazz and country, the St. Louis native is filmed here in 1969 in Toronto during the famous Rock & Roll Revival festival by Chris Hegedus and the great DA Pennebaker. Faced with an overheated audience, the inventor of the duck walk delivers a breathtaking set where the hits of the last fifteen years collide. Monuments from the popular repertoire such as "Maybellene," "Carol," or "Johnny B. Goode" are reviewed. Of course, the blues heir to the Chess years has not been forgotten, as this powerful version of Willie Dixon's "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" proves. And R&B occupies a prominent place with an imperious reading of "In The Wee Wee Hours (Of The Nite)" by James Brown from his Famous Flames period: lets' rock! Vincent Caffiaux.
