I'm watchin' it now. Whatcha see is the World´s two premiere experts on Berry songs and -riffs. Plus Johnnie Johnson. When it starts swingin noone plays it better... The better takes from "Hail! Hail!... " is like a Nirvana (in Buddist sense, not the rock band) for r'n'r lurvers... But ya can see Keith is chewin' his toungue Black & Blue...

No one, and I mean no one, plays rock'n roll as good as this, except the Stones when they do Berry songs. To me, this is the best kind of rugged straight forward rock'n roll! I hope i swings like this in heaven.... and that I'm going there.....

Well, you haven´t understood anything about Keith and Chuck. It´s one of the best scenes ever taped, look at the faces. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is learning a song again from his master, named Chuck Berry. Love and Hate. Ying and Yang. Rock and Roll.
It´s an essential viewing a n d listening. Get it.

Its Chuckster f*ckin it up deliberately. And Django: I forgot about ths bullet. Yet; if I was Keith; I would have been chewin' on (off?) both my tongue and the bullet.
bad?? They were just working out nuances in rehersal that you never would have noticed if they had not stopped to work out. That is what rehersal is for. It seems Keith's version differed at that part from Chuck's original. Great to be able to see this behind the scenes stuff. I would like to see some of this from Stones working out songs & rehersing old ones
Chuckster some 1/16 bar behind the musicians all the time; while Keiths sense of pace & rhythm is more like a clockwork, at lest compared with Chuckster. Compare Mick with Keith, it might differ another 1/16?
This is bullshit! Keith is not messing up - Chuck is downright weird and hard to collborate with. I remember when I saw the movie in 1987/88 - I thought the same then too

No, he's not messing up. But he just plays one part slightly different from the way Chuck originally wrote it, and Chuck simply points that out to him.
Keith's not f***ing up--Chuck is just being a freak--that's why he could never keep a band together. Kudos to Keith for finishing the film project and realizing his dream of putting a great band behind Chuck.
Leavell's book says that this scene was Chuck's payback for some supposed (off-camera) slight. Waited until they were on camera and started his cry-baby act.
