AEROSMITH Guitarist Performs At CHUCK BERRY's 80th Birthday Celebration

October 21, 2006

According to MontereyHerald.com, AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry joined Chuck Berry on stage in a surprise appearance at Chuck Berry's 80th birthday celebration at Blueberry Hill nightclub Wednesday night in St. Louis.

Berry, the duck-walking, guitar-playing rock legend who defined the music's joy and rebellion in such classics as "Johnny B. Goode", "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Roll Over Beethoven", performed tirelessly for over an hour at the venue where he has given concerts one night a month for the last 10 years.

Berry moved the crowd to its feet with his classic "duck walk," a stage move he patented in a 1956 performance in New York that's been imitated by rockers ever since.

Berry's band included his daughter Ingrid on harmonica, and his son Charles Edwards Berry Jr. on guitar. Back-up musicians who have performed with him over the decades took their turns playing with him on stage.
