Chuck Berry – Live From Blueberry Hill (2021) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Even in his prime, Chuck Berry in concert was something of a buyer-beware proposition. Pickup bands, inconsistent performances, a sometimes surly disposition did not always guarantee the “Rock and Roll Music” would be as great as it could, and should, be.

Blueberry Hill was different, though. The St. Louis club was terra firma for Berry, a hometown oasis just like Stone Pony became for Bruce Springsteen. It was a comfort zone where Berry had a good and trusted friend in Joe Edwards. It was Edwards who came up with the idea in 1996, the year Berry turned 70, of turning the basement of the bar and restaurant into the Duck Room, named after the rock ‘n’ roll pioneer’s famed duck walk and decked out with Berry photos.

Berry would go on to play more than 200 shows in the Duck Room – including his last show ever on Oct. 15, 2014, two and half years before his death at the age of 90. By all accounts (including Daniel Durchholz’s insightful liner notes) it was the best place to see Berry perform – most importantly with a regular band of local players, a quintet that included his son Charles Berry Jr. on guitar and his daughter Ingrid Berry on vocals and harmonica.
