BACKGROUND:
Chuck Berry 1955 Big Rock & Roll Show Concert Poster with Maybellene. This is a remarkably early concert poster advertising the new teenage phenomenon of rock 'n' roll, headlined by founding father, Chuck Berry, and calling out Berry's first hit single Maybellene. Eight other fine R&B musicians round out this jumbo advertising window card, but Berry more than steals the spotlight; it's generally considered a Chuck Berry poster. The other musicians had a lot of hits, but Mr. Berry shook the world on its axis as he co-invented rock 'n' roll at this very moment.
This is the only concert poster ever seen that used the term "Chuck Berry Trio", referring to piano player Johnnie Johnson and drummer Ebby Hardy. "Trio" was soon dropped and Chuck became a major star in his own right, although Johnson helped Chuck endlessly in the 1950's, resulting in Johnson's own induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rather than using a head shot or standard publicity photos like all the other musicians, fortunately we have Chuck playing his world-beating electric guitar and looking down at his fingers in the process. It's a prized action shot
