The Yardbirds also did a great version of Too Much Monkey Business with Jeff Beck on BBC radio. It's featured on his Beckology compilation. |

I love the Beatles take on Rock 'n' Roll music. Not Roll Over Beethoven so much though. Sorry George! |

I never cared for Loggins & Messina that much, but the guitar break in "Your Mama Don't Dance" is a notable exception, owing much to the great string-tie bedecked god of the double-stop. |

Page's solo on "Custard Pie" has a nice Berry-esque touch. And don't forget Johnny Winter's "30 Days"! |

Also Johnny Winters "Johnny B. Goode, Hendrix did a killer version of this.
Beach Boys "Surfin' USA" which is actually Sweet Little 16, just changed a bit with harmony.
Animals "Almost Grown"
Johnny Rivers "Maybelline.& "Memphis".
Dave Clark 5 "Reelin' & Rocking" |

| Mahatma Kane Jeeves |
Lonnie Mack's version of Memphis
and ELO's totally whacked version of Roll Over Beethoven |

Johnnie Allan's cover of Promised Land is fantastic. He gives the song a Zydeco touch and it gives the original a real run for it. |

Zep's "Boogie with Stu" has Stu playing the famous Berry riff . Maybe Johnny Johnson DID write the music?

Edmunds also used to do a cracking live version of My Mustang Ford, although I'm not sure if he ever released it on a record.
Another vote for Johnny Allan's cover of 'Promised Land', not forgetting Elvis' great version as well, with James Burton on guitar.
The E-Street Band have done some pretty good live versions of Chuck songs as well, a riotous "little queenie" in Philly in 1999 springs immediately to mind. |

Keith will eventually earn the rights to the remains of Chuck Berry one day.
I wonder what he will do with them. |
|
|
| Nellcote |
You know Boomy, after the fallout from the Johnnie Johnston lawsuit, which was facillitated by Keith, I do not think Mr. Berry will want anything to do with him, and vice versa. Probably the main reason a Chuck Berry song may never be played by the Stones again. |
