i saw this a few year after it come out . the concert footage be film in berry hometown of st. louis at the fox theater on october 18 and 1986 on his 60th birthday . it be also the same year the berry be induct into the rock and roll hall of fame in it inaugural class . assembeled for the concert be musician chuck levelle and bobby keyes and joey spampinato and steve jordon along with berry longtime collaborator and pianist johnnie johnson under the musical direction of keith richards . guest performer be eric clapton and etta james and linda ronsdat and robert cray and julian lennon and the guest of honor himself chuck berry . interview on his career be provide by his rock and roll contemporary jerry lee lewis and little richard and roy orbison and bo diddley and the everly brother . additional interview on his inspiration come from bruce springsteen and an old clip from john lennon . taylor hackford direct . hackford win an academy award in the short film category with the first project he ever do . in 1980 he begin direct feature film and have since only direct 10 film but they include against all odds and an officer and a gentleman and delores claiborn and ray . a a producer he also do the documentary when we be king . the cinematographer be oliver stapleton who have only photograph some indy film before haill haill rock and roll but would go on to do such film a earth girl be easy and the grifter and the cider house rule and buffalo soldier and pay it forward . we see chuck berry be his control and difficult ornery self here and this likely would have be an amazing film if director hackford be allow free reign with his camera and chuck would have allow a more introspective view into what be chuck berry but berry call the shot and rock and music director richards reel . this be a good documentary and chuck berry and 50 rock and roll fan should check it out . it amaze to think that this be 20 year go already and chuck berry will be turn 80 this fall . i would give it an 8. negative .
