An in depth documentary into the life and career of Chuck Berry, combined with a once-in-a-lifetime concert featuring some of rock and roll's brightest stars. Concert footage recorded live at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri. Includes a second disc of extra features.

From the packaging:

"The unforgettable life and music of pioneering legend Chuck Berry are celebrated in this landmark feature film, capturing a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of rock and roll's finest! In 1986, Keith Richards invited a roster of great musicians to honor Chuck Berry for an evening of music to commemorate Berry's 60th birthday, including performances by Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Linda Ronstadt, Etta James and Julian Lennon, along with archival footage of an unforgettable duet by Chuck and John Lennon! Also featuring insightful interviews with many of the original creators of rock and roll: Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Roy Orbison, Bo Diddley, The Everly Brothers and Willie Dixon. This dynamite crowd pleaser from director Taylor Hackford (Ray, Against All Odds) "is one of the saltiest, most stirring rock documents ever: a terrific show and a real labor of love" (Los aNgeles Times)!
