Classic reblasted! | Chuck Berry - Memphis Tennessee (live in Belgium!)

 Chuck Berry performs 'Memphis Tennessee' in February 1965 for a small audience. Filmed for Belgian TV, remastered visuals and audio for your delight. "Long-distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee..."

The full half-hour show is here:    • Chuck Berry live in concert 1965  

Heaven knows who was in this pick up band (nor how they knew what on earth they were doing? Anybody know? maybe the TV studios own musicians? They hardly seem to know what to expect but Chuck probably gave them the minimum of instruction "a vamp in G"?) but this is great live and back in the day in Europe straight from your tellybox!
