There was no shortage of historic rock music festivals in 1969, from highs of Woodstock to the crashing lows of Altamont. Meanwhile, a full-fledged 1950s rock and roll revival was brewing and the idiom’s pioneers were experiencing a renaissance. No longer viewed as over-the-hill relics, they stood as vital sources of real rock and roll. Combining the two contrasting demographics at one event was a rare sight to behold, but the Toronto Rock’n’Roll Revival represented that unlikely hybrid. And that afternoon, Chuck Berry, the Father Of Rock & Roll, returned to lead the apostles of rock into the next decade.
