One-half of this album is a studio recording featuring Ian McLagan and Kenny Jones of the Faces. The other half is a live recording from the Lancaster Arts Festival in Coventry, England, featuring performances of "My Ding-a-Ling" and "Reelin' and Rockin'" that, in edited form, became the first hit singles for Chuck Berry in many years. ("My Ding-a-Ling" went gold and hit #1.) This gold-selling, Top Ten album represents Berry's commercial, if not artistic, peak.
.....everything that is RocknRoll is encompassed in this performance. Chuck Berry engages his audience in a charming, old school style, & plays it like a virtuoso. This is celebratory with a capital F for fun. His sly wit, lyrically & on his guitar is a delightful marvel & wonder.All Hail The King!!
