I have always enjoyed Chuck Berry but the two BBC Session concerts from 1972 blow me away.
Part One of Three

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOutF8Ao ... lpage#t=2sEverything about this so cool. Berry's interaction with both the camera and his band, Rocking Horse, makes me smile even after watching it umpteen times. On a similar note how cool are Chuck Berry and the pianist (who I think is Michael Snow) dressed?
From a few months later (I believe June 1972) another masterpiece. Even as a tall, lanky, baldy and ugly white dude (who contrasts the first four descriptions with a strange mix of being vain) I would happily shell out a good few bucks for an outfit like this. Anyhooz the always amazing C'est la vie. Once again the interaction with the band is skin tinglingly good.
I will go on record to state the I would happily give up my one functioning nut to be as cool as Chuck Berry and Michael Snow looked one year before I was even born. No wonder my letters were never read out on Jim'll Fix It!
Chuck Berry -C'est la vie. The rest of this concert is scattered across various YouTube channels.

Cleggy you snickering floppy eared hound when courage is needed, you're ne'er around.
Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest should be there for bungling at which you are best.
