Two distinct portraits of Chuck Berry emerge in this lavish four-disc set built around Hail! Hail! Rock n' Roll, director Taylor Hackford's 1986 documentary/concert film. On one side there's the Berry who wrote a catalogue's worth of genre-defining songs ("Maybellene," "Johnny B. Goode," "Roll Over Beethoven," and so many others), all of them filled with wit, delightful stories, and poetry. He's also the guitarist who virtually patented many of rock's seminal licks, and the showman who attracted some top musicians to celebrate his 60th birthday with a concert in St. Louis, his hometown. On the other hand, there's the Berry who, in the course of the film as well as the accompanying bonus material, emerges as a prickly cheapskate who drove the filmmakers and musicians nuts with his absurd demands and unpredictable behavior. Together they make a fascinating look at the guy who justifiably calls himself "the father of rock 'n' roll."
Hackford's original film, now issued with a crisp, anamorphic transfer and digital sound, occupies Disc One. A parade of classics are heard during the climactic concert, performed by Berry and a superb band (led by Keith Richards and featuring guitarist Robert Cray and Johnny Johnson, Berry's original pianist, among others), with guest shots by Eric Clapton (smoking on the slow blues "Wee Wee Hours"), Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, and Julian Lennon (whose dad was an unabashed Berry fan). There are revealing offstage glimpses, too, like Berry confessing that he only took up music full-time because there was more money in it than in housepainting, or a weary, wasted Richards admitting that "I was mad to take the gig" but gamely standing up to his idol at every turn (watch for a memorable moment during the very first song of the concert, when Chuck attempts to change key in mid-tune and Keith sternly shakes him off).
The three discs of bonus features add a lot more to the portrait. Much of it is terrific: A nostalgic Berry poring over his scrapbook with Robbie Robertson of the Band; some lengthy rehearsal jams with Clapton, Richards, and James; hours (literally) of convivial conversation with Little Richard, Bo Diddley, and other rock pioneers. But if you're the type who can't turn away from car wrecks, don't miss "The Reluctant Movie Star," an hour-long "making of" documentary, for it's here that Hackford and the others who worked on the film tell their war stories. The Chuck Berry they know demanded to be paid every day, in cash, or he'd refuse to be filmed. He showed up for a dinner meeting at L.A.'s posh Le Dome with a bag of McDonald's takeout. And two days before the St. Louis concert, he announced that he was leaving town for a gig in Ohio, where he proceeded to blow out his voice--so his vocals all had to be overdubbed after the fact (an extra payday, natch). Hail! Hail! Rock n' Roll was already an entertaining two hours. But the various extra material, none of it seen before and all of it introduced by Hackford, makes this "ultimate collector's addition" a must-have. --Sam Graham

ロックンロールの元祖、チャック・ベリー60歳の誕生日を記念して、キース・リチャーズの呼びかけによるスペシャル・コンサートの模様。でも本人ちっともありがたがってないのが笑える。
有名なシーンはリハの時、キースがCarolのイントロを弾くとチャックがそうじゃない、とイチャモン付ける。こうやって弾くんだとチャックが見本を示すが、それはホントに譜面で表せないほど微妙なニュアンスの差、でも確かに違うことは違う。険悪なムード漂う中、数回のやり直しの後、キースもOKもらうが、本番でそのフレーズはチャックがかぶせてしまう。天下のキースも形無しである。こうしたプロ・ミュージシャンの厳しさが見れる舞台裏のシーンは貴重だ。
もちろん本番は円満に進み、チャックの代表曲が目白押し、ゲ!ストにクラプトンやジュリアンレノンらも参加して盛り上がる。
その他にも、チャックの特徴的な詞についてのBスプリングスティーンによるコメントや、チャックを支えてきたピアニスト・Jジョンスンにスポットを当てたり、チャックがこんな偏屈になるきっかけとなった昔の著作権がらみのトラブルなど、音楽アーティストのドキュメンタリーとして申し分なく充実した内容である。DVD化して欲しいな．．．

自身のテーマパークに勘違いで自分の墓碑を置いてしまい、後ろから挨拶で肩に手を掛けたキースを殴り、また強引なマウンテングをキースやスタッフに強いてみたり、ライブ演奏中に、いきなり曲のキーを変えようとしたり。等々…
一本映画を作る中で、これだけ沢山の逸話を残すあたりは、まさにKing of R&Rですね。キースの困惑顔も逆に面白かった。
ただ、祖父が教会の階段で売られていた話やエンドロール部分を見ていると、チャックベリー個人だけではなく、アメリカとアメリカが生んだ音楽の歴史についてもいろいろと考えてしまいました。
ロックの殿堂入りを果たしたチャックベリーのこの映画、ぜひDVDにして後世に残して欲しいと思います。
