Love the jam with Chuck Berry and company (Mean Old World, 1986)- the footage appears to be from the, “Hail, Hail, Rock and Roll” film from 1986, but I do not recall seeing this performance in the movie? Chuck was this from those sessions for the film? Or is it a jam session that just happened to take place around the same time? Either way, seeing you jam next to the great Johnnie Johnson is a rock and roll treat and it must have been a thrill for you as well! Thanks for sharing this great clip and others!

Yes- that was from the Hail, Hail sessions. It was a great opportunity to more or less say “thank you” to Chuck Berry for the great music he gave us in the ‘50s and the ‘60s.

You know what is really mind blowing is of all those great rock and roll classics that Chuck Berry recorded for Chess Records he never had a #1 hit until 1972 with, “My Ding-A-Ling.” Very strange fact for the man who probably did more to bring black and white kids together than any other person in American history – a living icon who deserves the title of, “undisputed King of Rock and Roll!”

Where are Mick and Keith!!! Chuck Leavell hosted a “White House Correspondents’ Jam” at the 2015 White House Press Correspondents’ Dinner. The lineup of moonlighting media types included Pulitzer Prize-winning CNBC reporter Steve Liesman, David Remnick of The New Yorker, Vanity Fair’s Mark Rozzo, Brian Dumaine of Fortune, and Esquire’s Tom Junod.

Wow, what a great showcase of musicianship, the improvisation and quality of players is off the chart. I really enjoy the spectrum of music covered as well; jazz, funk, blues, soul, rock, and all with a Southern flavor. This gig is between The Allman Brothers Band demise and Chuck’s ascent into the Rolling Stones, it shows Chuck as bandleader and really shows off his chops as well as the rest of the band Thanks again Chuck for sharing this awesome gig with us and for your continuing influence and devotion to what we like to call, rock and roll music!

Here’s George Harrison playing “Give Me Love” backed by Eric Clapton’s band at the time on the heals of the Clapton “Unplugged” sessions. Chuck is playing on keys. Peace!

Beautiful song, timeless and as important today as when it was written – Thanks George and Chuck for all the memories and songs of hope.

Here’s a video of Chuck playing in a dressing room with the Stones. The song is Tumbling Dice. The Stones standing around Chuck as he plays the piano, and everyone is singing along.
