From Billboard.com:
Chuck Berry Film Bolstered With Extras
April 11, 2006, 11:00 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
As tipped here in January, Image Entertainment is prepping a June 27 DVD release for "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll," the Chuck Berry movie masterminded by the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards. Originally released in 1987, the film chronicles Berry's 60th birthday concert the previous year in St. Louis.
"Hail! Hail!" will be issued as a two-disc "Special Edition" and a four-disc "Ultimate Edition." Both include 54 minutes of previously unreleased Berry rehearsals, encompassing performances with Richards, Eric Clapton, Johnnie Johnson and Etta James. The one-hour documentary "The Reluctant Movie Star" is also included on both versions, detailing the film's genesis.
The four-disc set is bolstered with "Witness to History," an hour-plus roundtable with Berry, Little Richard and Bo Diddley discussing their shared experiences for the first time. Other featurettes include "The Burnt Scrapbook," with Berry and the Band's Robbie Robertson sifting through Berry's personal memorabilia, and "Chuckisms," a roundup of classic Berry sayings.
The final disc of the "Ultimate Edition" is "Witness to History 2," featuring director Taylor Hackford's three-and-a-half hour collection of interviews rock icons such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Sam Phillips, Ahmet Ertegun and Willie Dixon.

Thanks for the info, this has always been a cinematic treasure to me. Can't wait to see all the extras and the different jams that weren't in the movie. I like what Chuck is playing during the closing credits of the movie. |

One of my favorite scenes is when Chuck really lays into Keith until he gets that intro riff to "Carol" to Chuck's liking. I wonder if Chuck did that just to mess with Keith for playing his songs all thse years and was actually quite happy with Keith's playing the whole time?? But ya, great movie, glad your son likes it as well. |

I wonder if its controversies like this that caused the Stones to stop doing Berry songs live. I think its been 7-8 years or so since they've done any of his material live.
