Pundits are agreed that this is not a live recording but instead has had the 'audience' reaction dubbed in the recording studio. Thus, it can only be recommended for Berry completists. Surfin' USA, advertised on the cover, is omitted, but Sweet Little Sixteen, on which it is based, is included. (UK:6)
"Then something strange happened. A new generation of musicians became very successful: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, et cetera. And they played Chuck Berry music. And they told everyone that it was Chuck Berry music they played."
"Supposedly recorded live at the Tivoli Theatre in Chicago, this album sounds suspiciously like studio recordings with lots of applause and screaming added, the whole suffering from inferior sound due to the overdubbing."
