Product features:
- Jerry Lee Lewis took black rhythm & blues, white gospel and other funky Mississippi sounds and turned them into rock and roll. He almost never made it to Austin City Limits. He cancelled one appearance, and only weeks before this recording on October 17, 1983, his wife died in a freak swimming pool accident at their home. But he did make it, and what we have here is one of the most amazing perform
Movie Reviews of Jerry Lee Lewis: Live From Austin Texas
Movie Review: Jerry Lee Lewis "Live from Austin, Texas"
Summary: 5 Stars
JERRY LEE ROCKS!!! HIS BAND ROCKS!!! THIS CONCERT DVD ROCKS!!! Jerry Lee and his band perform at their very best on this concert dvd that was filmed October 17, 1983 on the Austin City Limits TV show. Jerry Lee plays his classic Rock & Roll songs, along with some of his classic country songs and also performs a gospel song. The running time is approximately 55 minutes, but every minute rocks. This concert showcases his aggressive, dintintive piano playing style.
The line up consists of Jerry Lee on piano and lead vocals, Kenny Lovelace on guitar and fiddle, Joel Shumaker on guitar, Bob Moore on bass, Bill Strom on organ, and Buddy Harmon on drums.
The entire concert is outstanding. Some highlights I liked inlclude: "You Win Again" (a Hank Williams classic that Jerry Lee turned into a gold record in the 50"s), "39 and Holding" (a Jerry Lee courtry classic about growing older), "Rock and Roll Over", "Boogie Woogie Country Man" (this is a good one that showcases his distinct piano playing style and singing style), "CC Rider", "Chantilly Lace", "I'll find it where I can", "In the Garden" (this is the traditional gospel song), "No headstone on my grave" (I want a monument!), "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' goin' on".
At times during the concert Jerry Lee plays the piano with his right foot while also playing with his hands. This concert dvd showcases his unique piano playing and unique singing style. This was Jerry Lee's only appearance on the Austin City Limits TV show, and it was an outstanding performance. He was asked to come back and perform again, but turned them down because he didn't think he could do any better than this performance.
It is outstanding, and therefore I highly recommend it.
