 If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'. On 2007-11-22 09:45 Went to see Chuck's concert yesterday. Honestly I was a bit worried by the result before going since the guy is now 81 years old and people on the internet say he should stop after going to his concert. At first I was a bit disapointed since he was obviously trying to do too much. Let's be clear, he is old now and can't play all the notes and sometimes it sounded wrong but most of the time he adapted his playing to his age and it sounded really ok. On top of that, Chuck had so much energy for someone his age that you are really willing to forgive him. He looked very happy on stage and when a legend like him gives you everything he has, and even though it is not so much, you are so glad to forgive the few wrong notes here and there. I really enjoyed it. It was amazing to see him go around the crowd with the security people following him cause they were scared he'd fall or something. The people in the 'Salle 3000' were all very excited and they were literally helping him. Very cool. And so good to hear "Sweet little sixteen", "My ding-a-ling", or "Johnny be good", 50 years after he sang them for the first time. Oh and he did the duck-walk !!!. Fantastic. |
