Richard Berry "LOUIE LOUIE" 1989 in Mt. View, CA



Uploaded by: eplouie
Video Description:
The time was November 17, 1989. The place was JJ's Blues Cafe in Mountain View, California. Singer-songwriter Richard Berry was in town for a special performance. Richard's son Marcel Berry played bass, and sax player Michael Rivinius brought his band The Simplistics to back up this musical legend.
This footage was shot by Eric Predoehl for the upcoming documentary THE MEANING OF LOUIE under less-than-ideal situations. The lighting was terrible, and the camera wasn't very forgiving.
Nonetheless, we've got a very rare performance of LOUIE LOUIE by the man who actually wrote this song. What makes this particular clip so special is the audience interaction. Richard walked around the club with a microphone, inviting audience members to sing LOUIE LOUIE with him. One gentlemen did some really great yodeling.
If you are the "mystery yodeler" or know who this person is, please send me a private message to LOUIE at LouieLouie.net.

Great performance! I saw Richard Berry perform Louie Louie live in a Topanga Canyon bar in the hills above Los Angeles in the mid-1970's. This was special since I grew up in Seattle watching the Wailers, Kingsmen, and Paul Revere and the Raiders perform versions of his song. My lead guitar player, Gus Molvik, from my 1960's and 70's band, The Brave New World, was playing with him at the time.

The Kingsmen did that, and me come to think of it. Well it's artist's privlidge. Also it's kinda unprofessional when your the author of a Great song, you don't copy someone elses well know lead solo.

Maybe, but he's playing the Kingsmen's version of the song, and I thought everybody played that solo! I know I sure did, we even played the false start after the solo. It's tradition!

If you want to hear who the Kingsmen actually copied, check out the guitar solo of Rich Dangel on the 1961 recording of Rockin' Robin Roberts with the Wailers. That was the version of LOUIE LOUIE that inspired a lot of people, including the Kingsmen.
Richard Berry had fun performing. This was not his regular band, and he didn't even play guitar, so don't blame him for the guitar solo, OK?
I memorized that ... ( 7 months ago by coldshot55551)
I memorized that lead solo note for note. then I learned it playing two strings at a time for each note, for a fuller sound. But I was coping the Kingsman version. Richard Berry wrote the orig. no need for him to copy anything.
