Hi to all!!! I finally manage to go to a Chuck Berry show, though I had to travel 3500 kilometres from Buenos Aires (Argentina) to Sao Paulo (Brasil). Of course it was worth.
I've been waiting 14 years for this moment, and when I knew Chuck was "near" (¿?) I didn't hesitate and went to Brasil, alone. And I didn't talk portuguese, but didn't care.

I arrived to the theatre too early, and was almost empty. Then some people started coming, and I met some fantastic and friendly brazilian people, and we make friends. And ordered some beers!

I was lucky that a brazilian girl in the group spoke Spanish, and the other people spoke English, so we could communicate.

Then the lights turned off, and we heard the classil Chuck Berry sound, and Roll Over Beethoven had the show started.

(This is the moment when Chuck first appears on stage)

I could join a group o f journalists right next to the stage, who were taking pictures, and I could get very near of Chuck.

I can't belive I'm in the same photograph with a R'n'R Legend!

We rally enjoyed the show like if Chuck Berry was at our home, at dinner...

This is how we saw the show: The stage, and the band...

The song list:
1st: "Roll Over Beethoven"
then: All Chuck Berry songs!
Later: "Jonnh B. Goode"

After an hour and 15 minutes, we saw Chuck looking his watch, and we knew the end was near. Then he started the Johnny B. Goode solo (the reason for me to be at that show!) and then it all was madness!
Then he calls girls to go on stage. I followed my brazilian friend And stayed right next to the stage, where I took this photo of Chuck and girls:

Johnny B. Goode! (Almost 8min viedo, but you must watch it, cause it's all madness, and every second is worth of watching! People goes to stage, and Chuck was particulary inspired that night)

"Maybe someday your name will be in lights. Saying: Chuck Berry tonight"

I hope you like my review. You may be used to have Chuck Berry near you, but it is very unusual for an argentine guy to assist to a show like this! This is my whole life dream made true!

Reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen story.......

Bruce asks Chuck - "What songs are we going to play"????

Chuck says - "We're goin' to play some Chuck Berry Songs"!!! :wink:
