Jerry Lee is shown in concert at the Labatt's Apollo theater in London. He is joined in this short 1989 concert by guests Van Morrison, Dave Edmunds, Dave Davies (The Kinks), John Lodge (Moody Blues) and Brian May (Queen).
I'm partial to this kind of music - old-fashioned rock 'n roll called "Rockabilly" - so this would be pretty hard for me to dislike. (Check out Carl Perkins' Blue Suede Shoes DVD/ concert for the best in rockabilly).
Lewis, around 60 years of age at this concert, still sounded great and was fun to watch. He looks older, of course, with a paunch around his belly, but he's still "The Killer."
He has become a cantankerous old man, from what I've heard, and he shows some of that in this DVD. He just wasn't into it the first few numbers and you could see he wasn't in the best of moods. However, something got his juices flowing and once they did, he was his old rockin' self....and the rest of the way was just outstanding.
This is just great rock 'n roll!!
