Carl Perkins w/ Ringo Starr - Honey Don't - 9/9/1985 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

Ringo is on fire here, the vocal is so free never heard it like this before, as for the drums what can you say, it has been said he is a song drummer, whatever the song needed he was there, he didnt show off in any way. that was a very special night, as a last comment they have been talking about Ringo's drumming for over 60 years and I dare say will be in another 60 years.

[@Hibernicus1968]

What I love about Carl Perkins is, this was his tune, but he was genuinely happy to let Ringo sing it. Some artists would be prima donnas, and insist on having the spotlight. Carl Perkins, in addition to being a great songwriter, and perhaps the greatest rockabilly artists of all time, I think was genuinely flattered to have the great ex-Beatle Ringo perform one of his tunes. I think he loved sharing his music, and the fact that some of the best rock musicians of all time idolized him was as gratifying as if he'd had the same success as Elvis, the Beatles, and other greats who had performed his tunes. He didn't get the recognition he deserved from the larger public, but he sure did from his fellow professionals.

[@georgedavis8412]

I’m sure the Beatles put a lotta greenbacks in the Carl Perkins bank account.

[@michaelgibson4705]

The thing is the Carl Perkins songs which the Beatles recorded were ten years old at the time,They always gave him his due respect and were all fans

[@lenihlenfeldt1035]

Carl Perkins invented rock a billy. Elvis Presley stole it just like he stole all his songs from other artists

[@Hibernicus1968]

@@lenihlenfeldt1035 Elvis didn't "steal" anything. Elvis was simply like the vast majority of other singers at the time: he sang songs other people wrote. In that he was no different than Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and many, many, many more. In fact, that was the usual model before Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, and other rock and roll acts changed expectations -- most singers were not songwriters. You might as well accuse Luciano Pavarotti of "stealing" Nessun Vesti la Giuba, La Donna è Mobile, or any other of the arias he sang.

[@nvs6177]

@@Hibernicus1968 No, you're wrong. Elvis did in fact STEAL. This is well documented at this point. If you don't believe it, go watch Otis Blackwell's interview with David Letterman. Not only did he steal songs, he literally stole his entire presentation from black artists and the black church. He's the biggest fraud in music history.

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

He typically does really well with rockabilly/country tunes. His Beaucoups of Blues album is all country and it’s actually really solid

[@waynemanna1402]

Watching Ringo do this so effortlessly is a reminder that while he may not be a technical genius, his ability to sing, hold a groove and do what the song demands of him means he remains one of the best rock drummers of his generation. His drum fills probably won't make it into drum books, but the way he approaches his drumming is something every drummer can learn from.

[@edwardcaulfield67]

I think you are wrong on one point, I think his fills will be in drum books, if not already, other drummers speak of him how to immitate his style, I don't see any drummer coming close to him, you are right he may not be a techinical genius but does he have to be, cheers.

His fills are like always perfectly placed with perfection. His timing is spot on always. He makes the others around him play well thru his steady perfect playing.

This is actually a clip from a televised concert that was taped live at Limehouse Studios in London, England on 21 October 1985. The show featured rock n' roll pioneer Carl Perkins along with friends as guest stars, including Eric Clapton, former Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr, as well as Dave Edmunds who acted as musical director for the show. Most of the repertoire performed in the concert consisted of Perkins' classic rockabilly songs from the 1950s. It was the first public performance by George Harrison in more than ten years. ~Blue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session
