Jerry Lee Lewis -Whole Lotta Shakin Going On (Live 1964)

[@girthbrooks4730]

The reactions of these fans shows you the power that Jerry Lee had. Incredible.

[@SpeegBJ]

Lewis went across the Atlantic to thank the Brits for bringing the British Invasion to the U.S. by shaking the living daylights of the kids with him. Jerry asks me to 'shake it one time for yourself'....thanks! The greatest rock and roll footage ever.

[@paulabaggett]

I went to see this Man in London last year.Jesus,can he control that Piano.The whole of the London Palladium was Rocking.AND it was His 80th Birthday! Jerry if You are reading this You are Ageless.You will Live FOREVER.all my Love Paula Baggett.

[@TrexsterInNC]

This man knows how to rock a house. What a legend.

[@laughorgomad]

I never saw such a connection to an audience before.Truly a legend

[@johncfl]

At his best when his hair was wavin' back, throwin' his chair back, pounding the keys with his foot and adding impromptu lyrics! The king of spontaneity. Shake it one more time for me, Jerry!

[@j.hudson9652]

Today's performers need 20 dancers, 10 backup singers, 4000 lasers, 30 background musicians, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in high tech audio to match what Jerry did in this video. You just can't fake cool....

[@not2tees]

This was the hit in 1957 - when the drug and the only drug for 90% of the fans, was straight and pure rockabilly rock and roll.

[@jamesc3127]

This was from a tv show in England. It was filmed just before his famous live show at the Starclub in Germany. The reason he played the song for so long, was his agent and the show's producer asked him to fill an extra few minutes. One of the best all time live rock and roll acts!

[@j.m.harrincourt2208]

Jerry is a great gift for the piano-tuners.

[@Tyler380]

You cannot imagine how huge this was in MY day..

[@contentangel2131]

IF this doesn't make you smile, there's something wrong with you. i just cried, this is amazing artistry.....musical talent, genius and the mysticism of how rock-n-roll seizes you!

[@seanod7157]

The power of rock n roll is amazing. This was dangerous stuff at the time, revolutionary in fact.

[@geraldking4080]

Thank you for posting Jerry Lee from 1964. I sat at the end of his keyboard in 1974 a watched him play piano with lizard skin boots. He is the greatest living voice of rock and roll.

[@DOSundMehr]

Ein Star zum Anfassen ... wo gibt's das heute noch?? Einfach nur genial ...

[@bytorbusch]

This is just pure great rock-n-roll

[@jta1973]

Jerry Lee is fucking awesome. Period.

[@Cajunman1977-k3f]

Actual music..pure..no computer corrections. Elvis eat your heart out..Its the Killer!

[@scorcherfan]

pretty damn incredible. Those kids were never the same after that, i can promise you. Pure Rock and Roll. Love it!

[@glittermama]

Unless you lived through the beginning of r and r, you will never know the life changing event this was. We gave up Doris Day, Perry Como, et al with joy. This was JOY. Still is.

[@matthiaseich1156]

"Come on over, we got chickens in the barn! What barn? What barn? MY BARN!" best line there ever was written.

[@letsif]

Perfect time capsule of absolute classic Rock and Jerry Role!

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

I love this so much! It reminds me of the time my mother and I saw Jerry Lee Lewis on American Bandsand in 1958. I thought she'd have a heart attack! I was crazy about his music then and still am fifty-eight years later.

[@FRANKIESIXTOES]

Jerry Lee rocks good like a country boy should.

[@HSECMAN]

you'd never see a modern performer let his fans get that close to him. I can understand why, but wow! jerry didn't seem the least bit threatened. but then fans had more sense back then.

[@jefferyschroeder5245]

WOW!!! Has anybody ever torn it up like The Killer? EVER??!!?? That was awesome.

[@TheCorteztube]

Good golly, this is so great. I can watch this over and over again.

[@scretching08]

I was just born but their music Rock n Roll & Motown gave us is disco and hip hop!

[@VirtualcieloSosa]

no puedo creer que exista este video, wowww...increible...amazing...

[@attiliomalambri]

Who can resist to this music?? This is fucking perfect!!!If this is the devil's music I want to go to hell.Between the flames there would be the real devil of rock and roll sitting on the piano, Mr jerry lee lewis. I think even the devil would be afraid of such a great talent ... jerry lee could crush all the singers of his time singing and playing a single note. Elvis was good, but he was not even a hand of Jerry. Already in those days, the media brought to success those they wanted, those that did not disturb the music, but they were reminiscing enough. Jerry Lee is the greatest becauese he never compromised. People had seen such things as scandals Jerry had done in good faith, and this was because the media did not want him in their own children's life or on their radio. But his audience never ceased to love him and after years of depression he managed to return. For me he was a great man, an example to follow. I know he is considered crazy and maybe sometimes he is, but I prefer to call him "pure" and without brakes. A true genius of music without which many singers would never change the way to play. Thank you Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis

[@Blessedtouch]

one hell of a show man. It ain't lights and back up dancers, he's it.

[@norml6874]

Blessedtouch I love the piano playing with his shoes

[@Illuminatus1978]

He might have been the original punk. A true wild man!! LOVE IT!!!! Seeing the feeling in his face when he sings you believe him when he says "... I Ain't fackin' " to this day this song gets people up on their feet and gives them goosebumps.

[@bloodaxe5028]

B. T. Nah, Teddy Boys invented what today is known as punk. KZbin search "teddy boy rebellion".

[@norml6874]

B. T. I grew up watching great balls of fire 😂 I love the killer

[@pennicoen6573]

The killer still rocks!! I love you Jerry Lee!!

[@adamdrennan887]

I love the way Jerry just beats the sh*t out of the piano. he was brilliant back then and still brilliant now and that's coming from a twelve year old.

[@hmackie6823]

he plays piano Like I play guitar...like a percussion instrument

[@hmackie6823]

we hit it hard

[@maiden1520]

I need this in my life. 💕No words

[@bruiser]

Happy Birthday to the Killer! I never thought you'd make it this far, but glad you did. You are the last man standing!

[@maen6878]

Wow. I am reading Jerry Lee's biography and am watching these. self taught piano player. Love this guy. Head of this time.

[@GeauxWyatt]

This is performance master at his most amazing. He has full mastery of how to work a crowd!

[@lc.c6835]

Simply incredible! I heard his music over the years, this is my first time seeing the Killer live like this. No wonder people thought he was possessed. Look at those kids!

[@doowopftw]

Unbelieveable... even today a badass!

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

In 1961 I was in the Navy stationed at Norfolk, VA. There was a rock and roll show at one of the auditoriums It was a big show. The main attraction was Jerry Lee Lewis. He tore that place apart. He was the only one I could remember from that show. He promised the 2nd show was going to be even better. Sadly, I had to get back to the ship. DRAT!!!!

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

OMG, this is the greatest video ever.

[@OnePost909]

True dat and it's because he has the audience right there with him. Brilliant move. (Good name by the way, abbeyroadkill1 indeed.)

[@SpeegBJ]

This is true. It's why this man was one of the first 16 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@thirtythirty9054]

its like a boom fire freedom bomb ya TRU

[@screeningmimi]

Some of them look like they've been spliced in from the piano scene in "Reefer Madness." : ) Jerry Lee is a one of a kind American treasure!

[@msdgarcia]

Look at that crowd... Thats a live concert!

[@himalayanasia]

This a classic live performance!

[@oldman9843]

Would have loved to be at that concert , man what a show !

[@hans2157]

Damn! Jerry Lee was a hellraiser!

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a 72yo Aussie fan.

[@sherriowens2746]

I saw him back when he was in his prime,he put a great show on,I love the guy still do

[@dinosaurgigolo]

Just how good is this? Those kids out there are shitting themselves from joy. He's truly one of the greatest.

[@pattwilson6990]

Greatest song in history of rock and roll- Love it when he drops it down--We ain't faking , whole lotta shakin goin on

[@riovance]

Maybe if you rock that hard, you get to live forever.

[@fransdielis2532]

This is raw and real, this is performing, body art...

[@hubertwelborn4226]

Had the great pleasure of seeing perform at the NCO Club, Columbus AFB, Mississippi in 1963/64. Great performance. Love his music.

[@PennysLifeWithLove]

Lol I love you. Brings back many memories I wanna tell you abount one night several years ago I was in a bar ( I don’t drink now or go to bars) and someone played you and that song shakeing on the jukebox well I just couldn’t sit still before I knew it I had a crowd around me in a circle cheering me on it was fun I won’t ever forget that night thank you Jerry Lee Lewis for 🎤 for me that night xoxo 😘 💕

[@charlesmcbarron7295]

If someone asks you, "What is rock & roll?," show them this.

[@trainliker100]

I always considered Jerry Lee Lewis to be the real king of rock and roll.

[@carter4871]

He was a wild child...............had middle american parents shakin for sure...can remember my mama reminding us he married his cousin....long hair before the Beatles.................

[@FrydayNC1]

In the early to mid 1960's an interesting phenomenon was occurring in the music business. While the US was being introduced to the British Inviason, Europe was up on their feet jumping and shouting for the older US musians like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Bill Halley and the Comets.

[@VideoMusicManiacPlace]

Great performance. lol at the kid touching his idol. Love this. Thanks for sharing.!!

[@TheIrishrogue68]

This is the greatest live performance in the history of rock and roll....

[@threeinitiates8260]

great performance. very cool

[@n2091m]

This video is a treasure! Its hard to believe but he is STILL out there doing it from time to time.

[@eloisemyers4469]

Great music by Jerry Lee Lewis. I grew up near Ferriday,Louisiana

[@jeaniefoust6502]

Very charismatic man, I met him backstage at Holyoke Nightclub in Indianapolis, just something bout him ,they way he looked into your eyes when he shook your hand. One hell of a performer!!!

[@aleksandarzhivkov7191]

He is been ,is and would be GREAT and UNFORGETABLE ...forever ..this Jerry Lee Lewis

[@Sissi40588]

It's Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lynng9618]

This has been shown in several documentaries. It never fails to amaze me. I found out it was recorded from his 1964 performance at the Star Club in Hamburg, the entire performance being on record as "Jerry Lee Lewis at the Star Club 1964". What a shame the entire show wasn't filmed--it would have made one heluva documentary!

[@nikkif.409]

The original punk rockers. Did you see those shoes?! Cool as hell! Funny, how later generations think they are the first ones. Luckily, there are some that learn from Jerry Lee and others in each era that inspire them to create their own music.

[@sherriecrouch4043]

come on over baby whole lotta shaking going on!

[@lauraflameprincess3036]

such passion, talent & a bit ....you know!? love him , a true master of music :)

[@bunnybitch7516]

I Love this Song! Whole Lotta Shakin Going On!

It's all about the goosebumps! I feel sorry for anyone that never experiences that feeling...

[@22250able]

I am a person who has no talent for dancing but when I hear this guys music I just want to dance.

[@tomault3063]

[@laureanofigueroa8812]

Muy buena música de antaño..gracias desde Argentina

[@astoerbrauck]

[@kingofallmen1]

[@MrZenigata73]

At 3:39 you can see all the raw energy of early ROCK'n ROLL erupting from the hands of THe KILLER!!!

[@haithemcherif8153]

[@ageingted]

I'm 72 and it was hard hanging onto that platform. A great night.

HAPPY (80th) BIRTHDAY, DEAR JERRY!!! (born 29 September 1935)

[@2e1dxy]

Jerry Lee Lewis = Legend!

[@Davross]

Punk rock. Love the look on the kids faces, they know that even their grand-kids won't top that.

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1957 {August 19th} Jerry Lee Lewis performed "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at #8 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, two weeks later it would peak at #3* {for 1 week} and it spent over a half-year on the Top 100 {29 weeks}... It reached #1 on both Billboard's R&B Singles chart and the Hot Country Singles chart... Personally, for me, I was 12 years-old at the time, it was a great rock 'n roll week, all five of my 1950s idols were on the Top 100, besides Jerry Lee & Buddy, Elvis' "Teddy Bear" {#5} and the "All Shook Up E.P." {#46}, Little Richard's "Jenny, Jenny" {#32}, and Fats Domino had two records on the chart, "When I See You" {#41} and "What Will I Tell My Heart" {#100}... * According to Billboard, "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" was tied at #3 with "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly & the Crickets...

[@4UPrettyLady]

Love the guy , love his music, love his style! Greatest musician

[@rodentcafeteria]

I know this is from a show he did in England and those kids were going absolutely fucking nuts!!

[@lafooween]

fabuleux

[@PetrSilie]

been looking for this clip forever, saw a part of that on a documentary called "Punk Attitude" (a Doc. about the history of Punk) and was WTF!! Dude, that's awsum! :D

[@dixiecameron6846]

They told Jerry when he first started that he would never make it. It was the Elvis era and women wanted men who could move,, not just set and play a piano. Well I guess he showed them huh?

[@JoeyLevenson]

Best goddamn rock n roll hair ever.

[@brianpetersh5278]

this is the real stuff. it all came from Jerry Lee and a few others. ALL OF IT. ROCK AND ROLL

[@TheGreatToucan]

British fans have always been the best ever. 1964 must have been the epicenter of British fandom though....this audience is awesome!

[@mcmark82]

Brilliant one of the best. Don't make em like this anymore.

[@potdog1000]

I think I am in this video bopping by the piano, I was 13 & hitched from Bradford to Manchester, (told my mam I was staying at my mates, Thought i'd got away with it until they put it on tv a few months later lol
