best show opener ever.

It's a fine rocker, but hardly the greatest show opener.
I suspect that among the more elitist fans, it's greatest appeal is that it peaks the smug-o-meter.

It was used on the 78 tour. They could have used a better song to open the shows with on that tour
Yeah it was a good opener for the eraQuote

I gotta disagree. I loved it. Delivered with much energy as seen in Some Girls Live in Texas.

-actually i belive chuck berry had released it as well as bob seger and about half a dozen other rock and roll bands around that time.
if you think that "98% " of the people at a rolling stones concert in the united states in 1978 didnt know let it rock you are either from another country,another planet or suffering from some sort of brain damge.

I'll admit that I pulled that number out of the sky, (and I forgot about Seger and the Grateful Dead as well) but I maintain that most people at stadium gigs in 1978 had never heard the Rolling Stones version of that song prior to the show.
As far as people's awareness of Chuck's original recording, "Let It Rock" wasn't even included in the two-disc first volume of Chuck Berry's Golden Decade, (which had the biggest hits ). And I have never heard that version ever played on the radio.
Who told you about the brain damage?
