Havin' a nationwide festival for fourteen days and nights
Ah, there's fifty four bands on a river boat spot in the lights
Hundred of bands and tents all on the banks of the Ohio
Bandstands floatin' from Paducah to Cairo
Be over a million freaks there diggin' the sights
There's so many beautiful people there to love and cheer
Some of the greatest guitar playin' in the western hemisphere
Got the Who, the Band from across the north border Canned Heat
The Fifth Dimension, Creedence Clearwater
Oh, brother Hendrix, sister Joplin, we wish you were here
Early in the mornin' Johnny Cash and old Elvis got loose
The Who, Vanilla Fudge and the Woolies start paying their dues
All evening Ike Turner and Aretha right on the Drifters
And the Coasters and the Loading Zone
All night Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters in a battlin' mood
Oh, what a beautiful show, was sitting right up under the microphone
Diggin' the Grateful Dead, Little Richard and the Rolling Stones
Ray Charles, Led Zeppelin and the Everly Brothers
Bad Bo Diddley and the Beatles and some others
Everybody's laying back and freaking out all week long

Chuck Berry (Charles Edward Anderson Berry) è considerato uno dei pionieri del rock and roll. Nato a St. Louis, Missouri, nel 1926, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, influenzando profondamente generazioni di musicisti con il suo stile chitarristico energico e le sue canzoni che celebravano l'adolescenza, l'amore e la libertà. Berry è noto per brani iconici come "Johnny B. Goode", "Roll Over Beethoven" e "Maybellene". Il suo album "Chuck Berry Is on Top" (1959) è considerato un classico del rock and roll. La sua influenza si estende oltre la musica, con il suo stile di performance dinamico che ha ispirato molti artisti successivi. Berry è stato anche un importante figura nella storia della musica afroamericana, contribuendo a portare il blues e il rock and roll al mainstream.
