The story

What Is The London Rock and Roll Show About?

The premise of The London Rock and Roll Show without spoilers.

Recorded live at Wembley Stadium in August 1972, the London Rock and Roll Show opens with assorted warm‑up acts covering 1950s hits and original songs, including Screaming Lord Sutch’s controversial stunt with a stripper. The main program features Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Bill Haley & His Comets and culminates in an extended set by Chuck Berry, who was then topping the charts with “My Ding‑a‑Ling” (though he does not perform it). Mick Jagger appears in interview interludes about the performers.
