Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes (Live at Farm Aid 1990)

Carl Perkins performs "Blue Suede Shoes" live at the Farm Aid concert in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 7th, 1990. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
For more information about Farm Aid, visit: farmaid.org/you...
Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

Diana, thanks so much for the video...

I covered this event for television and was talking with Carl a few minutes before he went to the stage to do this set. When he left the press area, every star who was there - Willie, Mellencamp, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Jackson Brown, John Denver, and the rest - followed him up and stood in the wings watching him rock the house. He tore it up! Happy 83rd Birthday Carl!

[@jerryperkins6089]

+Jonjo Powers Carl is a hero.

[@jonjopowers3866]

He was the first celebrity I ever interviewed - he was kind enough to do a phone interview for a radio special I put together on Rick Nelson. Carl was the kindest, most generous guy you could ever want to talk to. He was one of the architects of rock and roll, but was just as humble as anyone could ever be. I hold his memory very dear.

[@chiptmcc8656]

Jonjo Powers.... as it should be!!

[@davidmccallum8172]

My wife asked me where I got my talent, since I played drums for 12 years before ten years in the military. My sister discovered, Carl was our cousin. If anyone wants, they can have the covid 19 solution from nutrimedical dot com. It's called the "First line of defence kit". Carl put people before his music.

[@marijooneill8015]

One of the best Rockers in my growing up years, and many who were overshadowed by Elvis, they just didn't have the right promoters. I'm not saying Elvis wasn't good, but these guys started it all.

[@patcarrion3652]

Go Carl Perkins. Good old song. 👍👍

[@beatlesdreams46]

Carl perkins I went on tour with Carl in 1987 a Beautiful Human being. Great times x

John Headley, Carl was my cousin. In his name, I would like to give you the solution to covid 19. Go to nutrimedical dot com It's called the First line of defence kit.

[@marijooneill8015]

Carl Perkins, I grew up with his music, along with Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, some taken way to early. This was real Rock N Roll.

[@patcarrion3652]

You bet it was good rock and roll.

[@metafis2490]

Trivia He reverted to his original beginning here(slightly different rhythm to Elvis version). For a while up to about 1985 he played the Elvis version live

Carl.

[@flashjackson2570]

When this was on TV as the concert occurred, I was with friends playing a table top RPG .me and a friend waited with anticipation for Carl . One guy at the game said, " I don't see the big deal. It's just an old guy with a guitar ". Some people just don't get it.

I would have really liked to be seeing he and John Mellancamp collaborate somehow. Mellancamp organized the farm aid event after all.
