I would guess this would be pretty close to the end of the 69 USA tour? I don't recall ever seeing this before. Its totally worth a look.

They are a monument to him (Berry Chuck that is), and have demonstrated and honored that many a time.

One has to remember though, when one speaks of Chuck Berry's music, it was in large part due to Johnnie Johnson and his combo that Chuck essentially took over. Berry was the lyricist, and of course made the patented guitar riffs, but JJ was in charge of the music as I understand it, and the music is definitely driven by the piano. And the Stones even emulated that, very well, thanks to Ian Stewart.

Yes it was! I was at the last concert of that tour, October 9 in Amsterdam. There is some footage of that concert too. Looking back at these clips, many things come back from memory. I lived in Utrecht and the Stones were actually staying at the Holiday Inn in that city. Not many knew, but somehow I did. I still see myself on my bycicle heading for that hotel and looking up to the top of that building. Should I go, or should I not go up (they were staying at the top floor). All was so peaceful around the hotel, looked like a piece of cake. What did my silly mind say? "No, you're not going to bother these guys. You want them to do a good concert tomorrow".
Can you gelieve that?
Anyway, it was a great concert and as a true Stones fan I decided to put on my dark Blue three piece student suit (which I hated), just to find out how other fans would respond. I ended up in the second buffer, only some 6 meters from the stage, left of the middle. Steven Stills was there, but I can't remember if he played piano on Roll over Beethoven (obviously I was too exited )

Roll Over Beethoven has a groove that could have morphed into Rip This Joint.

Keith's guitar tone is... heavy!
Bill must felt that someone was punching him in the back every time Keef hit a chord.
Btw was it the Ampeg amps he used in 69?

Yes, prototype Ampeg SVTs, although there's a curious line just before Gimme Shelter at the LA show where Mick says "he's got an echo on there, let's do it with echo". I always assumed he meant 'reverb', but the SVT heads never had reverb like the other V series amps (V2, V4, V9). There's clearly no echo/delay sound happening on either guitar so who knows:

Wasnt that line about echo from Oakland? Or did it make it onto Live'r than You'll Ever Be without actually being from Oakland?
My understanding was those Ampegs were not up to the rigors of the road and gave nothing but trouble. They used them because they were given them in a sponsorship deal I think. Don't think it lasted too long though, much like the equipment.
