Looks like the release date is TBD.

Which I just discussed in my previous post about fifteen minutes before you did. I'd like to think you had me blocked and couldn't see what I was typing, but that would be wishful thinking. But twice in one night?

This shouldn't be a sad day but a day of great reflection on a legend and the wealth of classic rock 'n' roll he left behind.
He lived a long and fulfilling life... he and his music will not be forgotten.

Cheers! ... to an innovator, a pioneer and a kick-ass guitar player!!!

Thanks.

Here's Elvis' SEARING live version of one of Chuck Berry's very greatest songs:


..

Elvis Presley "Johnny B. Goode" From Memphis To Vegas/From Vegas To Memphis (RCA 6020, November 22, 1969)
Taped at the Sunday, August 24, 1969 MS, International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV


Elvis never taped a better version than the one this night. Wow!
I agree it being one of Chucks greatest songs. Don't agree that Elvis "never taped a better version".

This one is somewhat "hysterical".
I'm with Scarre in this one. Why is this performance considered so fantastic yet he is often criticized on here for speeding up live versions of Suspicious Minds and others. Regardless I like this version of Johnny B but it does seem driven a bit too fast and out of control

Oh well, now he doesn't have to peed off any longer that Elvis sang a few of his songs.

Elvis thought very highly of CB but the respect wasn't mutual.

GREAT PHOTO -
That's the Chuck Berry I remember - I was lucky enough to see him around 5 times.
Seeing him in the UK was a fantastic treat but he was usually with a crappy pick-up band and it was a flip of a coin whether he was in a great mood or a take-the-money-and-run mood.
Two concerts were brilliant - probably post My Ding A Ling and he was rich & playing to new audiences...
One concert I remember as being terrible with his guitar out of tune.

At the 1973 STAX sessions Marty Lacker told EIN that, "Elvis sometimes sung Chuck Berry songs at Graceland, but for whatever reason decided not to record any more of them at the Stax session apart from 'Promised Land'.
At the August 27, 1965 meeting between Elvis and The Beatles - "Elvis handed out a couple of guitars and they started singing songs including Chuck Berry compositions, as well as Elvis singing a couple of Beatles songs. Elvis and Paul alternated at the piano and Lennon was playing a guitar."
Oh, to have a tape of Elvis and The Beatles singing Chuck Berry songs!

Cheers
Piers

R.I.P. Chuck Berry,
He was a truly great singer, songwriter, entertainer and guitarist and a true icon too.
He'll never be forgotten and his music won't ever be forgotten either.

If if wasn't for Elvis Presley's existence, Chuck Berry would certainly be referred to worldwide as "The King of Rock 'n' Roll".
Thankfully, Elvis and Chuck both existed and that each of them left us with such a huge amount of great music and everlasting memories.
Elvis and Chuck are both true icons and they'll both have everlasting legacies.

That's gotta be just about the best rock concert/bio film ever made. Wow, who's left now from the beginnings of rock? Fats, Little Richard, Jerry Lee, Don Everly, that's about all. I really should have been born in the 40's or 50's. I just wasn't made for these times.
I have to admit that I have no interest in the music of today. There is very little talent that I see in Spears, Bieber, and the like. However, I must say that I like Adele and, surprisingly, Lady Gaga. Her costumes detract from a rather nice voice that she has. LOL

Elvisly,

Linda

R.I.P Chuck Berry.

I always loved the story when Elvis went to see Chuck Berry in LAS VEGAS at a 3.am show around '73 ,Elvis & Jerry Schilling I think. Elvis was in the front booth shouting out songs for Chuck to play , asking him to play 'Promised Land' etc ...great, great story.

I've been looking for a Chuck Berry VEGAS Marquee from around 1973 to post here when he played Las Vegas but can't find one ...

He was one of the all-time greats ...

God Bless You, Chuck Berry ! Elvis, the music community, the whole world.. loved you very, very much and still does. Your music will never grow old. It is incalcuable what you meant for rock 'n' roll songwriting and music composition, stage presentation and sheer attitude. A GIANT. R.I.P. !


Joe Krein interview with Sherril Nielsen: "YOU KNOW YOU FORGET HOW GOOD HE REALLY WAS. I SAID MY GOODNESS. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE WITH HIM YOU ARE SO WRAPPED UP DOING THE SHOW, BUT HERE NOW 20 YEARS LATER, I HEAR HIM AND REALIZE WHAT A GREAT TALENT HE WAS. HE WAS THE REAL DEAL.

Just looking at YouTube and found this wonderful clip of Chuck on The Tonight Show with the incomparable Mr. Johnny Carson. There will never be another Chuck or Johnny. I love Chuck's shirt. He was a snappy dresser! :)

Elvisly,
