I love Back To The Future. If we're being completely honest, I secretly hope that I am one day able to attend an event anywhere near as cool as the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance featuring music from Marvin Berry And The Starlighters. Last night during the New Jersey stop of the Head Full Of Dreams tour, Coldplay fans got pretty close to my dream high school dance when Marty McFly himself joined the band for a rendition of the Penguins' "Earth Angel" and Marvin Berry's cousin Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."

After a video projected on the screen showed Chris Martin's son Moses requesting a song from Back To The Future, Martin told the audience, "Well, if your son asks you to do something, then let's try it," before inviting Michael J. Fox to the stage to help with a bluesy guitar solo, then launching right into "Johnny B. Goode." Check out video of the full performance below.
