The documentary captures a pair of epic concerts staged in 1986 at the Fox Theatre, with Berry performing with an all-star roster of admiring musicians. Among the featured performers are Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Etta James, Linda Ronstadt, and Joe Walsh. The film - which critic Robert Christgau calls a “wickedly funny and moving rock-doc classic” - also features behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Berry and such musical contemporaries as Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis. One of the singers featured in the film is Berry’s daughter Ingrid. (St. Louis International Film Festival)
