I think Chuck Berry - Tokyo Session - 1981 (Eastworld / EMI / Toshiba) is the best live album. Great sound to be in the early 80's. It was Chuck Berry's very first tour in Japan:

Check also the shows at Wolfgang's Vault, from 1967:

The awesome Reelin' and Rockin' track you're talking about is originally off of the half live/half studio album 'The London Chuck Berry Sessions'.

Johan, reading your post reminded me to finalize a half-finished entry on the 1967 San Francisco concert in my Chuck Berry Collectors Blog http://www.crlf.de/ChuckBerry/blog/. It contains a few additions to your article. Feel free to link or comment.

Thank's a lot, Dietmar. Very well done. Good information about the '67 shows and Wolfgang's Vault.

I will add Bill Graham was important for the rock music in the late 60's. I appreciate his work very much.

Let It Rock!
