I was lucky enough to see Chuck Berry play live, just once, and he killed it. '89 or '90. The energy was unreal and he played a 45 minute version of JBG or Nadine (I honestly can't remember - I want it to be Nadine, but it was probably JBG).
I have a real appreciation for the track he laid for future players, but in the same way that I appreciate Lloyd Ruby or Jim Hurtubise, my favorite drivers are still going to be Emmo and Rick Mears, and the same is true for Rock and Roll. My guys and girls are from my era!
