Watch "Mean Woman Blues" with Clapton and Carl Perkins, Eric looked and played enthusiastic with Carl Perkins and Carl was amazed with Eric's performance. I understand the flaws of 70's and 80's Eric Clapton but also realize he was probably drunk here and he didn't get totally clean and sober until November of 1987.

Still Sam thought he could get behind Carl. Nuthin was gonna replace the King but Carl was going to be a huge star too. Then the wreck. Carl became an alky.

Carl was unlucky, a car crash after he wrote and recorded Blue Suede Shoes side tracked his career for a while. He is a very important man in the development of Rock a Billy and Rock and Roll. I am glad he got considerable recognition later in his life.

George adored and admired Carl Perkins. You can see the joy in his eyes. This must have been a real dream come true for him. RIP George and Carl.

For all you school kids out there, this is called Rock and Roll music. Not focus group vetted, no computers or auto tune. Just guys and gals having a good time jamming with their instruments of which they are masters, playing with one of the founders of the genre. It's called art.

George Harrison talked of the great influence Carl Perkins had on him. The look on George's face tells it all.

[@reijosalminen7502]

Carl Perkins and Carl Harrison played on this one....

[@tincat2173]

One of the best jams I've ever watched!

This is so good! I wish I was born in 1940. Great to see George and Eric with big grins on their faces 😁 ( great guitar solo Eric 💥)

Carl Perkins is a one of rock&rolls creators. He sounds well even after many years... Thank you, Carl.

Gennadiy Plyushko I liked his music from the start but liked him more as time passed. He had a great voice and could sure rock that guitar of his.

[@tommckinnon1005]

Carl was there at the birth of rock n roll and rockabilly and his contribution to the emerging genre was priceless. RIP

Look how much fun George is having! This was a tough era for him he was basically in hiding (I don’t blame him), and this seemed to life his spirits.

Mutual respect society between George and Carl. George is having the time of his life. Fabulous upbeat music.

[@robertgillespie7946]

I love how Carl is sitting higher than the rest. I swear I got a little choked up watching this. Thanks

[@emilianoazevedo]

Same thing here, brother!

Carl Perkins first heard Elvis singing Blue Moon of Kentucky on the radio, if only Elvis could have joined in with these greats back in 1985!

[@terrylodercreative]

Actually, I'm glad the focus was on Carl. He deserved the recognition and would have only been a cast member with Elvis in the picture. All eyes would have been on him.

[@benjohnson6666]

George is re-living those early Beatles days singing Glad All Over. What a band!! Harrison- Ringo- Clapton-Slim Jim- Lee Rocker-Edmunds

[@rockyboy751]

A beautiful tribute from George to Carl, his major influence. George had a great voice, too. He was the complete package. Still is.
