the true kings of rock n roll

My two favorite guitarists. Still listen to ‘em in 2023.

I was the lead vocalist in Grease Lightning. We did 3 shows with Chuck and 1 with Bo. We opened the concerts and played behind them both . I could tell a few stories that most wouldn't believe...instead I'll end with "We're not worthy, we're not worthy. (One show was mc'd by Wolfman jack and Dick Clark)

The real Kings of rock!! We wouldn't have what we have today,if it weren't for them!!

That’s my father Richard Nader in the white suit bringing back these two guitar greats. My brothers and I used to hang out back stage and play stick ball. One time Bo came up to us and we started playing catch with a tennis ball then he rushed up on stage. I’ll never forget the power these guys delivered. Seeing my father Mc these shows and hang out back stage I’ll never forget. Each venue had a specific end time and my dad always went over and let these guys keep jamming cause he loved seeing everyone having a good time. He had to pay extra for that but it was worth it. I have so many unreleased master recordings of these shows up in my attic I just don’t have the time and money to transfer it to digital. He passed away in 09 of Parkinson’s disease during his final year he couldn’t speak anymore. Here was a man who could speak in front of thousands of people only to struggle towards the end. I’m so glad these videos still exist. Everytime I hear his voice on these clips I choke up cause it takes me back. This music was a huge part of my life even though I was born in 78 I listen to this era almost everyday. Long live Rock n Roll. I love you dad. You were the coolest and the best!

I met Bo Diddley in a bar in Cleveland back in the mid '80s about an hour before his show, he was a laid back dude.

The architects of Rock.

Two of the greatest ever - no contest!!!

How sweet would it have been watching a legend (Berry) on stage and then see him be joined by Bo-fucking-Diddley? Plus the look on Chuck's face at 1:04 when Bo copies the duck walk is priceless!

Impossible to get more coolness on one stage!

I think I just witnessed the most amazing jam ever

Those are 2 of the coolest f**kin guys. Puts most of the current popular "artists" to shame.

In 1972, Chuck was supposed to perform at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Ft. Lauderdale. He couldn’t make it because he was still in England recording his London Sessions, so he asked Bo Diddly to do the concert. What a night!!!!!!!

Folks this is Rock n Roll right here 👏👏🤟🤟✌️✌️☝️☝️🎸🎸

This needs to be about two hours longer then it is. Fantastic!

Lived in Chicago, saw Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, shake his hand.

Two men who changed music for the better, made it more fun, made it crazier, and made people move their feets and asses.

Unfortunately I never got to see Bo Diddley live 😞 ......... But I did get to see Chuck Berry live 🙂

Oh, man, it was not ENOUGH! But a taste is better than nothing. SO GOOD!

wow!! tremendous R.I.P chuck berry u were and will be the father of rock "N" Roll

All I can say is, I love it. If you're feeling down this will turn you around.

the 2 greatest rock n roll guitarists together

Bo Didley & Chuck Berry los padres del rock and roll.

This is too cool! Two incredible legends of R&R jamming out together and having so much fun... just wonderful to watch... thanks for posting!

That was more coolness than I can process.

The double genius. God of rock n roll and god of blues. Rip chuck, Rip bo. The greatest moment of music. Thanks for the post

Two of the greatest rock n roll legends chuck berry and bo diddley

(from Bolivia) they will live forever gracias to KZfaq

It may seem abstruse to say this, but much of today's metal music has its roots right here. Awesome performers.

Rocking here...heaven must be rocking with Berry and Bo each day..love these blue genius😍 souls❤️🎵🎶🎤🎶🎵🎶🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🙏🙏🙏

That's Rock-and-Roll in it's purest form!

I grew up on Beautiful Black Blues and Soulful Music like this.. all my black friends called me Vanilla Chocolate.. I'm 65 now and us kids from the 1960,s still get together and do what we were created to do..DANCE..all night long...

Heaven has a very special place for those Rock Angels.

great to see both of them together

You know Im 21 years old and I wish that I was my age now back then so I can see these amazing musicians live, But I guess Im stuck watching it forever on youtube and only hearing it on the radio. Theres not to many men my age who say that to often.

Chuck the true king of rock and roll

My cousin Carol and I met Chuck Berry. Sweet and gentle man.

I had the pleasure of playing with both of them later in the years google Mike Morrison blues revue@young and happier days with the idols of rock and roll

Two legends on stage. Their music will live for ever. Long live Rock n roll

Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley thank you

I love how Chuck eventually bows out and lets Bo go sick.

They are crazy.haaa legends of the rock

LEGENDS!!!! We has all the true talent gone?

So glad I got to see both great men performing live !!!! 💯👏👏

I saw a triple header in Portland Maine around that time with John Lee Hooker (opening), Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. Chuck had fans up on the stage dancing. Incredible show.

I love you, Chuck and Bo! How many generation enjoyed themselves dancing with your music. Golden years,maybe because we were young

Good god, they were having a great time together!

Two legends on one stage ??!! I only wish I could’ve been there!!

What an amazing performance from two of the all times greats, & both were early big influences on my own playing!

Best ever ! Bo and tjuk 🙏🏿

Two Great Guitars was the title of the album. Lost mine too, never lend valuable albums.

I think I just saw a gravitational wave.

Maybe somewhere, sometime, it gets better than this, but not often and not by much! All that's missing is 58 more minutes!!

I saw both of them in Houston, Texas in 1972 AND 1973.🎸

This is one of the coolest damn things I have EVER seen. Wow!

my two favorite guitars these guys are legends as well as all the other rock n roll and blues guitars

Magníficos , dois grandes ícones do ROCK que com seus músicos nos brindaram com muitos sucessos memoráveis e sempre tocava , cantava com alegria e sorriso nos lábios isso que é amar sua arte musical.

Two of the best movers EVER!

I wish I could've been there for a classic duo!

these guys were both great they did some recordings together that were great

WOW ! this just blew my mind ! 2 pluse minuters of rock heaven

Holy shit, can't believe I haven't seen this before. Way too brief, but might be one of the coolest crossovers of rock. Amazing interplay.

Oh my god what is this ? heaven of rock ? The real artists

The 2 masters at work!

I saw bo didily when he was around 80 years old still was working passed away not long after

two great guys playing great music, i love america!!!!!!!

Duck walk-in 😅😂🤣 awesome!!!!! Kings

Gran vídeo, dos genios del Rock and Roll juntos.

Wow two of the greatest together on stage the late and Chuck Berry and the late and great Bo Diddley wow unbelievable

That! is one of the most funnest coolest improvisational jams ever seen right there!

@leathergunn I'm 44 and feel the same way, it amazes me when I hear stories of bands that played my area long ago, who was opening for them, venues that are long gone. We can thank the Gods at KZfaq and sattelite radio for thinking of old fogies like us and letting these guys live on forever. Roy Orbison said it best, when asked how he'd like to be remembered he said "He'd like to just be remembered"

Great video - everyone knows how good Chuck is, this also shows how good Bo is.

just discovered this... feb 2019!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took them until 1973 to get together that blows me away. One would think that they would have shared the same stage way before 1973.

Two ole Chess men in their prime. Saw them many times. Loved the Bo walk.

Just moved into a old house Bo Diddley lived in…feeling so inspired…what a beautiful presence he had and still has on the world today

Sorry Elvis fans but Chuck is and will always be the King of Rock and Roll.

greatness on a stage, that people were lucky. \o/

These guys were the real kings of rock and roll, Elvis would be the first person to admit that.

Elvis being in the audience and not wanting to get on stage to steal any of Chuck's and Bo's thunder speaks volumes. Elvis was on record many times saying Bo, Fats and Chuck were true legends. He gave credit where credit was due.

If your mind isn’t blown by the infinite amount of particle-smashing awesomeness going on here then there is no hope for you.

My God listen to those guitars!!!

Elvis once said that the black artists in the 30's and 40's really were the starters of rock and roll. I agree.

I had the privilege of seeing both of these ROCKERS back in 57-58.They left a HUGE foot print.

Great scene!

Two giants of rock n roll !!!!! 💯👏👍

I can tell you for sure this is one of the times chuck performed without being paid ;)

This is from Let The Good Times Roll. A 70s movie. Chuck's moves are great. Chuck spread his feet so far apart, he was amost on the ground. 2 icons on the same stage. Chuck did great moves in American Hot Wax. Check it out.

DOIS ETERNOS GÊNIOS E VERDADEIROS ARQUITETOS DO ROCK AND ROLL QUE, JUNTAMENTE COM LITTLE RICHARD, INFLUENCIARAM INÚMEROS ARTISTAS DO GÊNERO, COMO ELVIS PRESLEY, BEATLES, ROLLING STONES, ERIC CLAPTON, JIMI HENDRIX, ENTRE TANTOS OUTROS.

At 1.40...you can the inspiration for Keith Richards' style loud and clear.

Amen I'm old enough to be greatful for what really matters for rock and roll thank both of you guys I will play till I drop!!!!!!

There may be Fathers of nations and Mothers of cute children, that’s all fine and dandy. But theeeeseee two bad ass muthas are the Fathers of Rock N Roll. 🔥🙏🏽

This is great stuff. A great pair. I saw Jimi Hendrix at the Montery Pop Fest. You are right!

2 minutes of rock'n roll bliss. Will we ever see their like again?

76 people didn't get what geniuses do when they meet.

It doesn't get better music wise. Beyond Amazing. Grateful for what they gave the world.

Now i know where Johnny thunders got his inspiration from.....Amazing!

Il y a des musiciens danseurs qui ont tout inventé que du bonheur pour les oreilles et les yeux CHUCK et Bo Diddley les musiciens des génies du Rock merci

Wow. Glad I clicked on it.

This is more entertaining than anything else in 2024
