1955 - Elvis Presley plays at the Odessa Senior High School in Odessa, Texas. A young Roy Orbison is in the audience.
1972 - Doing a week-long stint as guest host of the Mike Douglas Show, John Lennon performs Memphis and Johnny B. Goode with Chuck Berry, whom Lennon refers to as my hero. A little over a minute into Memphis , while Lennon and Berry are singing about the Mississippi Bridge, Ono decides that what the song needs are some dolphin-like vocalizations, so she proceeds to add those to the mix. For Lennon, this is par for the course, but Berry is visibly shaken and gives the camera a startled, wide-eyed look. He recovers, though, and also performs his famous duck walk.
