Chuck Berry/Canada 1969

The “Toronto Peace Festival” was held in Toronto, Canada on September 13, 1969, known for the John Lennon Plastic Ono Band’s “Live Peace in Toronto 1969”. In addition to the main Plastic Ono Band, many other big-name R&R musicians will appear, including Bo Diddley, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Among them, a complete recording of the live performance of Chuck Berry, the god of rock’n’roll, from the soundboard master leaked by the people involved. The live performance included a parade of R&R classics such as “Johnny B. Goode” from the first song “Rock And Roll Music”, and while playing on a bright red Gibson ES-335, he also performed the obligatory duck walk. The exciting stage pattern is reproduced here. 01.
