I think Berry played the club sometime back in the 90s and Seth got to sit in on drums.

in the past Chuck Berry didn't tour with a set band, just got on stageand played with the local musicians his promoters lined up at each gig.

Chuch Berry's COOL. He will entertain!
 Beats Bob Dylan as far as I'm concerned.

yeah I saw Chuck at the Warner back in the late 80s, with a pick-up band backing him up.  It was sloppy as hell, but still it was Chuck Berry playing his classic tunes live, and no "Ding a Ling" thank goodness. It was enjoyable.  However it's now 20 years later ... might be kinda dodgy.  Maybe Wilco will back him up.

We didn't know this? It said it in the most recent issue of Spin. It said "Check Berry and NIN at the same festival!?!" and had an arrow pointed to the Vfest logo.

seth said he could put a couple of cameras in the porta-johns.

They will do the interviews in the porta johns, cameras and all.

i think he's playing a different festival.
 
   no one cares about chuck berry and he would sell exactly Zero tickets.  
 
  Limp Bizkit would sell more tickets.

I saw him open for the Dead in Portland '95. Verdict among every breathing person in the vicinity: Chuck sucked.
 
 Badly. Totally out of tune and rhythm, it was almost surreal how out of it he was. I'm not gonna shit on anyone organizing a festival but damn, that would be an odd choice.

maybe that's how he'll control under-age drinking at the venue?  i'm NJ, they're limiting it to parking lots:
 
 "State Police Capt. Kevin Burke said with the installation of two surveillance cameras, troopers will be using nine cameras to monitor traffic and activity in the Arts Center's sprawling parking lots."
 
 no more tailgating for John Mayer, OAR, 311, Beatstock and Projekt Revolution!  what will the kids do?!?

Seth hasn't refuted this one the way he did for Mr. Durst and company.

last year Baltimore had some Jazz festival the second weekend in August, with BB King, Al Green and Little Richard
 
  i suppose if Berry just came out for a quick 20 minute set....certainly not for a whole hour!
