Jerry Lee Lewis - Riot Fest 2018 - Chicago - Douglas Park "The Killer"

[@Mistrudels]

This was one of Jerry's last performances before he died. While this video does an excellent job capturing the performance itself. It does not capture just how electric the crowd was. Mind you, alot of us were under the age of 40. There were circle pits, crowd surfers, dance offs, and good vibes everywhere. What a send off for an absolute legend. RIP to the Killer!

[@miltonchaneton3311]

Jerry's music gave me the encouragement I lost several times

[@clayed11]

He always said he was the real King of rock n roll he outlived Elvis and is still doing what he loves ! Much respect to the Killer !

[@JoeMoss83]

He also outlived the true king Chuck Berry

Laughed when Jerry Lee hauled out his shirt before sitting. No hesitation, if Jerry Lee wants to do it, he's going to to do it... Don't care who approves.

おお、なんとジェリー・リー・ルイスは生きている。彼は満身創痍で８０才を過ぎ、生きているだけで奇跡なのに、ビンビンロックしている！なんと素晴らしいこと。ロックのイデア！ロックピアノの神さま！女の子が狂い失神してしまうので、「もっとも危険な男」とされたルイス！ ２０代でプレスリーをも凌いでいたのに、ビートルズが憧れていたのに、あまりに過激（自己に正直）なゆえに、日本ではほとんど知られていないが、わたしは、もう最高に好き！

This was a good crowd. I'm glad to see them give The Killer the respect he deserves

[@luciovids9208]

Love it! Thank you for the videos

[@cowtippingrocks]

legend !!

[@scottblanchette5675]

The killer came out sparkling like the dashboard of a 1978 Trans-am

[@franmike152]

Migod what a wonderful man! Now that Chuck has passed on, Jerry is the one and only king of r&r left. I agree with others here - Elvis was nothing compared to JLL. May he live and rock forever.

[@oscardelatorre]

TURN UP jERRY LEE. That band aint playing no rock n roll

[@tdunph4250]

@ Andrew Wilson It's ok, we'll pretend...you're buddy was obnoxious. sorry, not sorry

[@musicfanhawk4523]

He may be a great drummer but he was too loud and the sound ppl should of tuned him down. It did look like he was having a great time but too dang loud.

[@markusr7421]

@@musicfanhawk4523 He may be great technically, but he can't play the swing, that JLL Music needs. He is a modern rock drummer and we need an old time swinging mutha that comes from the boogie and blues.

[@rockthesix1679]

Chuck and Jerry are equal to the start of real rock n roll!!!! Elvis was a puppet for any deal that came his way. I know, truth sucks!!!

[@StevenCryar]

We can all sit here and argue about Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and a few others but I think it's safe to say there are SEVERAL That earned the name of the king of rock and roll ahead of Elvis. I'm not hating on Elvis he was great for what he was but he was not the king of rock and roll sorry he just isn't.

[@vinnikodiak4779]

No auto tune

[@maigrejeanfrancois1612]

Un des derniers dinosaure !!!

[@oooeee5419]

Note that Jerry Lee does not sound like he has been since 2008. Young people in the audience were born in the 90s-2000s who have never had the chance to hear Jerry Lee as he usually sings. So what are people happy about?

[@s.r.r.]

Because we still have him and his version of less is better than the best most can do today.

[@WickedDreamz765]

id like to use a clip of this in a video im making when we went to the lewis ranch and interviewed his son...hes talking about this show and id like to use a segment you have filmed in it...ill keep your tag in the video for reference

[@shirleyc7175]

Arnoff is the drummer?, I have had enough of arnoff. He doesn’t even have a rock and roll beat. Just drowns everyone out.

[@paulwitveendaal3381]

his voice is in a better shape then Paul McCartney!

trop bon un peu domage pour le son ,enfin pas grave sa swing bien

[@paulpaige8130]

so do I respect jll

[@davesuiter]

He outlived his liver.

[@markusr7421]

Great camera work - perfect angle! Piano, voice and guitar are way too low in the mix. All you gotta hear is (bad) drumming... That boy on the drums ain't no having a glimpse of swinging and I don't give a sh**t who it is - certainly the wrong person for swinging Rock and Roll!!!

[@anthonyridio5234]

ELVIS WAS THE KING, THERE WERE EXCEPTIONAL GREATS, JERRY LEE LEWIS, CHUCK BERRY, ROY OBERSON, Country, Hank Williams, Buddy Holley, faron Young, Ray Price ect.

[@musicfanhawk4523]

@@floydreiske7799 well he is a bit loud for JLL, every performance I've seen, the drums dround out the singing.

[@cornucopia8591]

No no no drummer brings great great feeling to the band

[@polmccartknee3792]

The only thing that changed was his voice it got weaker but that's expected but The killer is still the same old Wild one

[@glencoe6305]

What was that at 25:11 ? Looks like a Jester. A protester ?

[@DellaStreet123]

The contraption this person is wearing is a Mexican wrestler mask. I don't think she (or is it a man with really long hair?) has an agenda, just someone who acted out enough to be carried away by security. The poster has something written on it, but the only word I can make out is "Killer" -- it's on the side with the photo of young Jerry Lee playing piano. The other side has a photo of a middle-aged Jerry Lee showing both fingers.

[@kevinf5354]

IMO he appears better in recent years than he did in 2008. His 2008 Grammy performance (with Little Richard) wasn't as good as this.

[@StevenCryar]

Is that Aronoff on drums?

[@markusr7421]

He is - but he should learn to swing more; he is using that heavy modern rock beat which doesn't suit to JLL.

[@thylacinethetigerwolf1372]

Lol..he plays at normal speed now..

[@troycleek3985]

I got ticket to see The Killer in Nashville Tn. It's been postponed till July 1 2019 for health issues. Pray for Jerry Lee. We love you brother even though you may have killed some women. LOL

[@s.r.r.]

Not necessary for you to say. You just like attention obviously.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Look, I’ve liked and admired his talent since the 50s but in the last few years he really wasn’t singing anymore. He was kind of saying /singing. The musicians here as in other venues do not put in any of the stops and fills. The drummers just keep the beat going.

[@lenick2012]

@@tomatkinson2871 Don't put it out there if the recording is lousy.

I personally don’t like it when people put live recordings ‘out there’ featuring me when the quality is ropey. But you haven’t paid anything to hear this, nobody is forcing you to watch it, get over it.
