Doug

Doug-- this is the BEST set of pictures I've ever seen from BBH! I remain profoundly jealous. And whaat's the BANJO doing in that box of pretty guitars???!!!??? I want to hear banjo at my next Chuck Berry concert!! Dang!

Peter

Doug,
I agree with Peter - The best set of pictures ever!
Thank You so much and thank You for the complete review.
This makes me feel like I was almost was there with You
It has been 3 years now since August 8, 2007 and I hope to make a comeback.
It's abolutely the best place on earth to see Chuck & The Band.
I wish I could explain in english how much I appreciate Your set.
Thanks again for taking Your time and doing this !
I miss You on Facebook my friend
I wish we could be there at the same time in the first row together with
Karen, Judy, Jan, Johan, Thomas, Jean (Red Chuck), Peter,
Stefano, Carmelo, Mela, Ida May......................................
Wow, It would be Fantastic !



Peter

You did a great job on your review & pictures of the show!! I think this might qualify you to work for the Associated Press! The pictures turned out really well too.

Karen

It occurs to me looking at these photographs that the Berrys have very good genes.

The red pants are pretty good, too!

Doug, the review and photo's are top notch!

Fantastic ! I have to accompany with my friends - a whole bunch of impressive first-class pictures ! Thank you Doug for sharing these moments with us !

Jan

Great pics man ! You must be a fortunate fellow.

Thank you all, my pleasure to share with you. Peter maybe someday we can all get together and see a show at BB Hill, that would be something!! Tulane you have a keen eye - the Banjo was played by the opening Band during their last song!! The name of their Band is Shooting With Anne and they are superb. All the other opening bands for Chuck at BB Hill I have seen have been great. But these guys are a cut above, even CBII commented after the show that he hopes Joe gets them back to open for them again.


















This guy was my favorite!! With his trombone
and toilet plunger - he also had a little horn
like a coronet or bugle and also a harmonica.

Doug

Doug Shooting with Anne truly are an excellent band. It's really cool you posted photo's of them. They deserve big props.

Hi Doug ,

Back from my hols in Italy had a great time , Doug they really are some excellent photos thank you so much for sharing....just hope and wish one day I get the chance to join you all ,
Ciao , Stefano

great pics, i gotta get to a show at blueberry hill sometime next year when i get more vacation time. I had to settle for the pageant in march which was excellent.

hello im new to forum no johnny b good?

Hello Logan , No Johnny but I wouldn't trade the renditions of Around and Around & Let It Rock that night for anything. I beleive you mentioned you might see him at BB Kings - If you are planning on going New Years Eve, I'd get tickets to both shows - there's only one thing better than a Chuck Berry Concert and that is Two Chuck Berry Concerts!!!!

Here's some treasures from the August Trip.....




Poster Size!!

The Have Mercy Box set is great music to Motorvate to - the 4 CD set took us from St. Lou back to within 40 miles of Bussey - I really enjoy the instrumentals!!
