[1] From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, many rock and roll performers from the 1950s experienced major career revivals due to a temporary upswing of interest in their form of music.
The concert ended with an extended performance by Chuck Berry,[2][3] who at the time was enjoying major chart success in Britain and the US with his "My Ding-a-Ling".
Originally billed rock and roll era acts The Platters, The Drifters and The Coasters were unable to perform due to work permit issues.
The show was opened instead with sets from British rock and rollers The Houseshakers, Joe Brown, Emile Ford & the Checkmates, Screaming Lord Sutch, Heinz (backed by Wilko Johnson and John Sparks from Dr. Feelgood) and Billy Fury; as well as songs from Jerry Lee Lewis's sister Linda Gail Lewis.
