OT: Chuck Berry Covers

[wire chief]

To keep the momentum as Chuck begins his 10th decade, let's feature tunes where others
paid homage to the great man.

bob seger teenage wedding - Bing video

 

[meyers7]

Pretty fun cover. Takes 'em a little bit to wind it up.

Never Can Tell - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

 

[meyers7]

Bunches and bunches of covers of this. Here's one at warp speed.

Johnny Be Goode - Delta Saints

 

[meyers7]

An orchestra for Beethoven??? What???

Roll Over Beethoven - ELO

 

[meyers7]

Even Bon Scott couldn't resist Chuck.

School Days - AC/DC

 

[meyers7]

If only for the guy in overalls dancing.

No Particular Place To Go - George Thorogood and the Destroyers

 

[Dillon77]

Cheating a Little Bit. I've always loved Linda Ronstadt's version of this song, but here she gets to perform it with the master and another Chuck admirer, Keith Richards.

Little Queenie - REO Speedwagon

 

[Kibitzer]

Cheating a Little Bit. I've always loved Linda Ronstadt's version of this song, but here she gets to perform it with the master and another Chuck admirer, Keith Richards.

Far cry for Linda from her role as sweet Mabel in "Pirates of Penzance." Or the bluesy "Blue Bayou."

G. E. Smith has Chuck Berry guitar licks down...

 

[Intpseeker]

Pretty fun cover. Takes 'em a little bit to wind it up.

Never Can Tell - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

This is why I love live music. Great musicians making it up on the spot and then tearing it up.

This is a cheat, but couldn't resist:

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Kinda shocked no one done this one yet.

 

[Kibitzer]

Kinda shocked no one done this one yet.

Perfect example of how a group of young white folks "columbus" rock & roll.

 

[Aluminny69]

How did we miss this one?

 

[JordyG]

The master. I saw him 4x and just missed him at Woodstock. Somebody call me when he wakes up.

 

[Adesmar123]

This is why I love live music. Great musicians making it up on the spot and then tearing it up.

I wish I could believe that was made up on the spot. Those horns rehearsed that song for a long time.

How about this forgotten gem:
