Elvis Costello played No Particular Place to Go as a slower blues at the Pen Award ceremony (you can find the whole ceremony on this blog, or go to Youtube for Costello's version. But, sad for him, that stint in prison made Chuck better. He must have practiced. The first show out, in Michigan, was crazily good, and anything I've been able to see from those early European tours has been amazing.

There was a concert hall called the Westchester Premier, And Disk Clark had an oldie show, 6 acts. 5 of them came on and did one or two songs each, 25 minute break, then Dick intro's Berry. There were two shows. I bought the same seat for both shows. He played Oh Carol, then right in the middle of the song, he stopped and called Dick out on to the stage, and said; "I got out of Federal prison last Monday, and Clark was the first one to call. Back to Carol....he played about 80 minutes, and Clark came out and begged him to quit for the 2nd show. second show, after the break Chuck comes out and starts to play "No Particular" like its a blues song. and stops and says "It don't Have to be fast." then fast...... he played for two hours.........................Bill DonovanBillDonovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412473711485019838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676806289104794676.post-31179327366567972012012-04-13T10:23:08.253-07:002012-04-13T10:23:08.253-07:00Bernard-- thanks for sharing YOUR Chuck Berry stor...Bernard-- thanks for sharing YOUR Chuck Berry story. <br /><br />Daryl's story has an even better ending. Daryl wound up being one of Chuck's close friends and frequent collaborators, backing Berry on countless Atlantic coast dates. <br /><br />And, of course, Bruce Springsteen tells this story, too, in the film "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll." It's one of my favorite parts of the movie, because as Bruce tells it, you see it play out yet again at a fair in Columbus, Ohio. <br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028212499171228040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676806289104794676.post-11893325158861665932012-04-13T09:01:12.963-07:002012-04-13T09:01:12.963-07:00now THATS a great rock and roll story!

My sister called me on the phone one afternoon around 1PM and said "bernard, Chuck Berry's playing at the ritz tonight, you gotta go! I turned on the radio, to a local college station, WSIA, and they said "were giving away 2 tickets to see Chuck berry tonight at the Ritz." I called up and won the tickets...I went with a dear friend of mine, another guitar player named Cindy. We were like 2 little kids! We couldnt believe it was THE REAL CHUCK BERRY! As his last song He played "Johnny B. Goode"..the whole audience, including me rushed the stage and got up there and danced..It was the greatest rock and roll I had ever heard, naturally..Thanks for letting me share this with you, Peter. Keep Rockin' It will keep you young forever. God bless, Bernard James Mc DermottBernard James Mc Dermotthttp://www.myspace.com/spankareelnoreply@blogger.com
