Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven - Live from 1956 - Alan Freed Show

Recorded live at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater, Alan Freed's early Rock & Roll shows were legendary.

Here is a great example of the young raw energy, where Rock & Roll was only about 2 years old and still a very new type of music that just captivated the youth - who had had enough of their parent's music - "How Much Was That Doggie in the Window" was a hit a few years prior, and the kids were sick of that stuff!

WINS radio was the big pop radio station in New York at the time, and Alan Freed's show was one of the biggest on the station!
