Linda Ronstadt & Chuck Berry - From American Standard Song to Rock 'n' Roll
Two consecutive nights. Oct 16th, 1986 - Chuck Berry 60th Birthday Concert (he was born Oct 18th, 1926) in St Louis. Oct 17th, 1986, Linda on The Tonight Show. She says in the interview in the video, "I was St. Louis last night with Chuck Berry who is 60 years old and we were singing rock 'n' roll.....". The film of the Chuck Berry concert came out in 1987.
From Wikipedia -Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll is a 1987 documentary film directed by Taylor Hackford that chronicles two 1986 concerts celebrating rock and roll musician Chuck Berry's 60th birthday. A soundtrack album was released in October 1987 on the MCA label. The name comes from a line in the song School Days.
The two concerts were held on October 16, 1986, at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis; among the artists performing with Berry were Linda Ronstadt, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Etta James, Johnnie Johnson, Steve Jordan, Bobby Keys, Julian Lennon, and Joey Spampinato from NRBQ. Along with concert footage, the film also features scenes from the rehearsals for the shows, interviews with Berry and members of his family, and "talking-head"-type appearances from a number of musicians, including Bo Diddley, The Everly Brothers, John Lennon (archival footage), Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Little Richard and Bruce Springsteen.
