Here we have the dress rehearsals for Chuck Berry`s 60th birthday shows held in Saint Louis at the Fox Theatre; this recording is quite good and shows the many jams and tracks subsequently played live. Many are the musicians that stand out, starting from Johnnie Johnson on piano, followed by Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, Chuck Berry himself seems to have been in good mood and Robert Cray’s jams are certainly interesting . The recording was taken from the audience but is in good quality, except for some rumble especially heard during breaks.
