Chuck Berry Falls Ill During Show in Chicago

Sunday, January 02, 2011

84-year-old Chuck Berry became ill during a performance on Saturday night at the Congress Theater in Chicago, IL, slumping over the keyboard he was playing about an hour into the show.  Those in attendance had side that his performance to that point had been erratic, having trouble keeping his guitar in tune and playing with a disjointed rhythm.

After keeping his head on the keyboard for a couple of minutes, three men led him off stage to an awaiting ambulance. The crew checked the singer out but, twenty minutes later, he signed a waiver and went back into the auditorium after he heard the crowd still clapping.  Reports say that he was standing fine and was alert but, after trying to play the guitar, said he was too weak to go on, did a couple of steps of his duck walk and left the stage.

Berry had played at B.B. King's club in New York City on New Year's Eve before flying to Chicago.

Emmylou Harris - "You Never Can Tell" Live (1978)
"The most beautiful lady in country-rock history (do you dare to disagree?), live in 1978 or something. Notice Albert "Mr. Telecaster" Lee on lead guitar.."

It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment
With a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed
With T.V. dimmers and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work
The little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono
Boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records
All rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down
The rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

(Instrumental)

They bought a souped-up jitney
T'was a cherry-red fifty nine
They drove it down to New Orleans
To celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre
Was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell

"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell
