    I was fortunate enough to see Chuck Berry play at Blueberry Hill and meet him afterwards. I still have my signed ticket stub.

    Growing up in St Louis, I loved running around the loop when I was in my teens and twenties. Saw many shows in the Duck Room and bought many albums, cassettes, and CDs from Vintage Vinyl. Great video

    This place and history is beautiful and beautifully shot and edited! It's like a film for someone I 've been a fan of since I was a kid.. even got in trouble singing My Ding A Ling in elementary school lol! At least not at home because they knew it and that I listened to my grandma's Chuck and Elvis records. 😀 Great collection brings back so many memories.. wow.😊 Thank you all!

    This guy is a legend himself and what a collection he has WOW. It would be too cool to have a few drinks with him and listen to his stories. I'd like to thank him for all he has done to preserve history and share it. They'll never be another Chuck Berry not now, not ever. Thanks for doing all that you two do I'll be donating soon. God Bless

    Great video! Joe Edwards, having worked with him on a couple past projects is a super nice guy who happens to own just about all the Delmar Loop! It's awesome you included him in this video, as he'll tell you just about anything you want to know. His celebrity gallery is something else. I saw Chuck 3 times in the Duck Room, and twice at The Pageant down the road. Was very lucky to shake his hand and say a few words to him. In his later years, Mr. Berry was spotted at local casinos just chilling and playing slots. He was like an everyday guy who just happened to have songs covered by the Beatles, Beach Boys, the Dead and others. Next time you're in STL, I'll be watching for you. Glad you enjoyed your stay in the city.

    Chuck berry was a flawed person with a lot of demons but man, he sure did leave a mark eh?
    The duck room is one of my favorite places for music as a patron and a musician. The green room is just setup for people who've been on the road a while with showers and everything! Now, I might be a bit camera shy in there but if I were a stinky drummer after weeks in a van, i'd be on it like jam on toast.
    Great sound, great staff, HEAVY POURS, and the burgers are some of the best in the city as long as they aren't swamped. Wish delmar still had the local places it used to when i was growing up, all the money from WashU def. changed the area for better and worse. Also a great street for boba tea, there's boba within spitting distance no matter where you are on the strip! What a long way they've come from nothing but biker bars and tattoo shops haha
