Plot summary

St. Louis, 1986. For Chuck Berry's 60th, Keith Richards assembles a pickup band of Robert Cray, Joey Spampinato, Eric Clapton, himself and long-time Berry pianist, Johnnie Johnson. Joined on stage by Etta James, Linda Ronstadt and Julian Lennon, Berry performs his classic rock songs. His abilities as a composer, lyricist, singer, musician and entertainer are on display and, in behind-the-scenes interviews, are discussed by Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springstein, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and others. There's even a rarity for Berry—a rehearsal. Archival footage from the early 1950s and a duet with John Lennon round out this portrait of a master.

What a great movie even if it doesn't

What a great movie even if it doesn't go full documentary and instead focuses on the concert series for his B-Day. You still get a sense of him and all his contradictions and it's fascinating watching. Holy crap was Little Richard going nuts in his interview. The man was high or something.

It was worth the price of admission just

It was worth the price of admission just to see Keith Richards sulking after being yelled at by Chuck Berry.

Chuck Berry is awesome, gutless business man thinking

Chuck Berry is awesome, gutless business man thinking with charm and fire with a flare for theatrics. Great doc.
