This Day in Rock History - Oct. 16th

1986: Two days before his actual birthday, Chuck Berry headlines a special 60th Birthday Concert arranged by Keith Richards.

Along with Richards, Berry is joined on stage by Eric Clapton, Etta James, Julian Lennon, Robert Cray, and Linda Ronstadt at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. The preparations and the show itself are filmed by veteran filmmaker Taylor Hackford and released as the rock documentary Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll!
