JERRY LEE LEWIS, Northampton 1987 STRANGEST SHOW EVER ON TAPE!!

(c) Intro & Audio overdub by Dr. Lucio - Audio Recording by P.Hayman
JUST TO HONOUR THE LATE JERRY LEE LEWIS HERE IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING SHOWS CAPTURED ON TAPE AVAILABLE AGAIN - ENJOY!!!
One of the strangest und funniest shows ever! Jerry talked a lot, did much of seldom heard tunes and was certainly in a "special mood". A very good recording .
IF THIS VIDEO DOESN'T GET ATTENTION, IT WILL BE REMOVED VERY SOON OF THE NET. I DON'T DO UPLOADS FOR MYSELF, THEY'RE FOR YOU!!
Like Jerry once said:"IF YOU COULDN'T GET IT WITH THAT, YOU BETTER LET YOURSELF CHECKED!!"

Extraordinary performance by one of the 20th century's greatest natural talents. Mona Lisa was never played like that before, surely. Fabulous...

[@attiliomalambri]

This version of Mammy is the best Classic ragtime,Gut Bucket blues and jazzy of Jerry Lee. His voice was perfect and his piano playing suberb!!!

[@peterchecksfield9958]

Ubangi Stomp and Livin' Lovin' Wreck were my requests! I saw him do Livin' Lovin' Wreck in the hotel bar the previous evening, so I knew that there was a good chance he'd do it (he also did Lovin' Cajun Style in the bar, so it was almost a rehearsal for this show!).

[@javahead8]

Out of his tree but still fabulous - not to mention not PC. Saw him at Sydney Stadium about 1959 and he was dynamic. Credit to the band for following him. Incredible tribute to Americana - he knew it all. ( Hank, Jolson etc ). This was some crazy gig. What was he on?

[@andymassingham]

Saw JLL at the Imperial Room Toronto in ‘87 for a midnight show. He was exactly like this. It was a tense room. Ronnie Hawkins came on for a number and Jerry was happy at first, then suddenly not. Ronnie scooted. At one point Jerry rounded on Kenny, who stood straight up to him and Jerry backed down, grinning. May he be at rest now. I had seen him at other times when he was on form, but like us all, he was human.

What an explosive and funny show!!!! Jerry Lee in his best from!!

[@bertrandgarde]

Fantastic! !!

[@martnal]

Truly remarkable. I don't know whether he was drunk or just very mellow. the band did an amazing job of keeping up with what song he was going to sing and when he was going to finish it. For me the high point was Mona Lisa. He played bits in so many different piano styles. I had never seen him do that trick with the piano lid before and I loved it when he started leaning over the piano and plucking the strings inside. What a brilliant performer, and a great showman. Who was in the band?

[@markusr7421]

Danny Harrison, drums, Duke Faglier, gtr. Joel Shoemaker bs, Kenny Lovelace gtr., Moetta Stewart organ., Linda Gail + Phoebe Lewis, choir

[@janeroberts38]

He was Feelin no pain for sure. It still showcases his ability to sing anything, stuff like Rainbow” I would have said “get outa here!” He said in interviews he could sing it all. He proves it here. He interacts with his audience like no other. But his poor band must have whiplash following him on this one. His talent is limitless; he actually croons on some songs.

I saw jerry lee in 1987 at the Holiday star theater in Indiana. Only thing I really remember is Linda Gail singing lead on the first few songs and him taking forever to come on stage. He came dancing onto the stage while they were midway thru a song. This show is unique to say the least haha. I think it's pills going on here.

[@alanknizek3877]

He made it well past 1990 and 1999.

[@darrinlong5007]

@@s.r.r. By tough early life what exactly do you mean? I know quite a lot about Jerry Lee and I'm not aware that he had it all that tough. I mean he was somewhat poor like most people in the south during that time. He's always been determined, stubborn and rebellious.
