Chuck Berry on Stage


Chuck Berry on Stage is the first "live" album by Chuck Berry, released in 1963 by Chess Records.

Overview

Although promoted as a live album, it is a collection of previously released studio recordings with overdubbed audience sounds to simulate a live recording. One track on the album labelled "Surfin' USA", is "Sweet Little Sixteen", originally released in 1958, the melody of which was used in The Beach Boys' 1963 hit "Surfin' USA". Chuck's cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want To Make Love To You" was later re-recorded and released on the very rare Chess LP CH60032 Chuck Berry in 1975.

Chart performance

The album peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Top LPs, during a seventeen-week run on the chart.
