Yall really need to see some old vids from the 50's. Back then he was a WILD MAN, that long blond hair and sweat flying, that piano taking a beating and that mad mad energy connecting to the kids going crazy on the dance floor!! He was a wild thing back in the day!!

[@Bluewizard7131]

One of Jerry Lee's more restrained performances. 🙂

[@RLKmedic0315]

No kidding. His piano wasn't even on fire!

[@mikecavaretta2621]

I recommend finding a video of him from the 1950s, when he was new on the scene and even more frenetic than he is here.

[@cazgerald9471]

There's video of an early 60s British TV performance, they let the kids crowd around his piano - the video / sound quality isn't great but gives an idea of his frenetic energy. Of course his 1964 "Live at the Star Club, Hamburg" album is off the charts.

[@RJ1999x]

Actually the Austin City Limits was one of the best to watch

[@johnpearce3714]

​@@RJ1999x,Yes ,Also Paris 1981 , Barcelona '85 , '89 Melbourne , Australia ,'90 Wembley ' 83 '87 , Frankfurt '82 --- Just a few !!

[@brianmiller6055]

The guitarist playing with Jerry Lee here is the legendary Dave Edmunds. An artist well worth checking out in his own right.

[@happyfreeliferc]

Jerry Lee Lewis & Little Richard were beasts on the piano !!!

[@Amaberean]

Maybe now you guys can understand why us “old fogies” CAN’T STAND what passes for music today. How CAN we- when we grew up and cut our teeth on THIS?

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

One of the true originals - and keeping it a lot more staid than he normally did! A true showman, one of the real bad boys of rock, and still shakin' it into his 80s. He only died a few months ago - RIP.

[@jillosler9353]

Back in the day when we danced all night to music like this - and always went to sleep tired but with a big smile on our face!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Jerry Lee was something else for sure, wild, but always amazing. RIP Jerry Lee.

[@Music_Lover26]

This a pretty good live performance but I highly recommend one of his early live b&w performances from the 50s. Nice reaction, you are clearly enjoying!

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Glad to hear you mention the fact that rock 'n" roll was meant to be danced to. Disco gets a bad rap but one of its positive characteristics is its danceability which to me in some ways is far more redeeming than more 'serious' music. You should check out Fats Domino and Little Richard as two other great performers who put the piano in the rock 'n' roll spotlight.

[@tomaroni6670]

..."Class of 76"...This was one of Jerry's more reserved performances...he once poured gasoline into the piano and lit it on fire while finishing his set...when he finished he stepped back, bowed and walked off stage, you can see it re-enacted in the movie of Jerry's life...a must see! Always watch a live. performance of Jery Lee.

[@joelanderos23]

Because of chuck Berry wanting to be the last performer. Jll was the last performer. Lol

[@RobertH-ol6mw]

Movie is "Great Balls Of Fire".

[@ronaldstokes4841]

I'd say reserved... there are B&W performances where he almost stands on his head while he plays the piano.

[@debrabeck9630]

He’s older here, which I’m not knocking. I saw him when he was in his 70s, and he was still great. Y’all need to give a listen (and look) to some young Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@BeatPatrol2024]

That story is not true. Jerry Lee did not set fire to a piano at that show, or any other show. The 'Great Balls of Fire' movie is not a very accurate portrayal of his life.

[@suzettebuchanan5349]

He is cousin to Mickey Gilley, who you did a reaction to already.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

I love Mickey gillie. Was just listening to him the other day.

[@757optim]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT Another cousin who was also a pianist was evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who famously "fell from grace".

[@debbiel.1655]

@@757optim he did indeed, but he is still singing and playing the piano today. I live in Baton Rouge and see him at his church and he is amazing even at his age...

[@757optim]

[@conniekat3424]

Jerry was definitely an entertainer!

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

We were entertained!

[@aclosson8193]

I've never heard this before. I agree with your opinions. It's very obvious that the music back in the day was all about having fun. It seems that that era simply had so much joy. People just having a great time. It's something that somehow we have seemed to have lost. We need to get it back.

[@robindew9072]

Jerry was so wild and cool. The man could play the hell of the piano. He rocked the stage.

[@farmerbill6855]

"The Killer". Jerry Lee was fabulous. I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice. The crowd was just as animated both times.

[@MsTeaRex]

RIP Jerry Lewis you were a a helluva performer. Thank you for all the fun that you gave.

[@davidbentley145]

A true legend...always exciting to see this man perform....Ty for this guys

[@Lakeshore14]

He was definitely entertaining. His nickname was Killer. He was pretty wild and I remember when he set his piano on fire. He always got the crowds worked up. Thanks for this. 👏👏🇨🇦

[@BeatPatrol2024]

Jerry Lee never set a piano on fire. It is a myth.

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE 🔥

[@Mark-iv7np]

Never seen a better pianist than Jerry. Great voice, presence all good for me. A true pioneer in Rock n Roll history

[@greypossum1]

I saw these greats of Rock and Roll when they came to Melbourne, Australia, in the late 1980s. It was one of the most amazing nights of music and nostalgia. Each artist played for about 20 to 30 minutes.

[@BeatPatrol2024]

There are video clips of that show in Melbourne 1989, on youtube. Jerry Lee's performance was stunning, that night.

[@edriley2703]

Have you done some Little Richard?? Talk about rocking out!!

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Yup

[@TheSmokey999]

If you want to see him in his prime ! Whatch Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta SHAKIN live in England in 1964 . You will not believe how close the crowd is and how much energy it was ! You’ll love it ❤❤

[@touriewright5428]

Great reaction guys FYI: Jerry Lee Lewis (muscian), Mickey Gilly (muscian and owner of Gills which was in the John Travolta movie Urban Cowboy), and Jimmyu Swagertt ( evangelical preacher) all are cousins. Jerry Lew started ( as far as I remeber) started in the 50s

[@chrisstory563]

Swagertt had a huge hatred for rock music and he even went so far as to made some very hurtful remarks about the Christmas rock band Stryper. sadly, he found himself is a mess of his own. his confessionary meltdown was legendary.

[@alanconrad8490]

He KILLED it !!

[@pageribe2399]

I saw him play once, in the sixties. He was even more energetic then, if you can believe that. Check out Great Balls of Fire! He passed away just recently.

[@itchyandred4131]

Ah.........The Killer ✌️

[@stevenhayes859]

There's a reason he was called , The Killer. Jerry was one of a kind. A legend

[@peggyshouse-gill8395]

[@louieflash7190]

I was waiting for him to set the piano on fire.😄🔥

[@BeatPatrol2024]

He would never do that.

[@TheAntigone43]

Yeah, I'm 80 now and was a young teen when he first came onto the scene. This was a really tamed down version of his original shows. Brings back a certain new vitality to my old bones. I gotta tell ya! LOL Quite the showman in spite of what a lot of parents thought. LOL

I hope you check out the movie about Jerry Lee Lewis. "Great balls of fire"

[@jennifernovak2702]

He is a legend!

[@anjoleeeickhoff6800]

He’s The Killer, and he kills it on the piano and entertaining the crowd!❤

[@1981cvalentine]

Fun fact: whole Lotta Shakin goin on was actually written by a man named Dave "Curlee" Williams. Jerry Lee Lewis used to get a lot of his inspiration from african American night clubs and dive bars back in the 1950s. He was so inspired by their Style of music and performing, it’s what helped mold him into the performer he eventually became, a lot of the credit he gave to the black community for inspiring him. He’s my pawpaws cousin ❤ I’ve heard some stories through the years

[@philipjohnson2652]

Thank you, thank you! for not interrupting his performance every 10 seconds. I grew up listening to Jerry Lee's music and it never gets old.

[@ronstoner1823]

THE KILLER! Jerry Lee Lewis is an absolute ROCK&ROLL icon!

[@hansteeuwen3967]

I love this clip. The intensity of this performance moves me to tears. Great to see you guys enjoying this so much. Greetings from Amsterdam.

[@roberthudson1959]

He wasn't nicknamed the Killer because he played by the rules. Someone said that he played the piano with every pointed appendage on his body except one, and using that one would have gotten him arrested. Believe it or not, he was evangelist Jimmy Swaggart's cousin, and Jerry Lee's sacred music was as powerful as the secular stuff.

[@michellereed7303]

I can't remember who he opened up for back when they all toured together in the 50's...Elvis or Chuck. But he lit his piano on fire and said "follow that!!"

[@BeatPatrol2024]

That never happened. It's a myth.

[@markcosenza3274]

I love seeing y'all smiling and moving to the music, that's what it's all about!

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Jerry Lee is a Rock OG! 😎

[@scottcarter8155]

I switched to independent groups in the 90's. Lot of dancing, jumping, friendly mosh pits. It was all about having a good time. Reel Big Fish, Catch 22, Bad Fish, Social Distortion, Less Than Jake. Punchline etc.

[@naldovaz9157]

thankyou for featuring these classics... let us continue to enjoy them

[@Lfg117]

So hot in its time (late 50s), that now, 60+ yrs later, "Whole lotta shakin' goin' on" is still widely used as a general pop culture catch phrase (in digital media, TV, news reports, movies, etc.). The power of music.

[@wallacefarmer7467]

An original. He and Little Richard were the epitome of Rock/Roll. Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart are his first cousins. See if you can find a performance of he and Little Richard. Don’t know if they ever had a major concert together. Put on your Colombo Trench Coats.

[@ironman0917]

I have a recommendation for yall if I could please... Timothy by the Bouys... A very catchy tune from 1971. But, pay very close attention to the Lyrics. Thats all I can say....... Enjoy!

[@kerrijohnson2303]

Ah, a hometown musician for me..I was born/raised/live in Shreveport, Louisiana..Jerry Lee Lewis, along with his fellow famous musicians, his cousins Mickey Gilley (famous country star) and Jimmy Swaggert (famous preacher/televangelist), grew up in Ferriday Louisiana..all three were born with genius musical talent and all three could play piano beautifully. I believe only Jimmy Swaggert is still alive and he still plays piano beautifully. Their life/back stories from abject poverty to fame is quite the read and a few books and movies with details are interesting if you wanted to dig deeper.

[@scottbaldwin7133]

do great balls of fire

[@tomroit739]

Glad you like the old rock and roll! You should go to Google and put in American Bandstand 60s. Various Artists plus you can see all the different dances. Keep doin' what you're doin'! Great Job! Like your reactions to Country songs. Check out old country, Hank Snow, Hank Williams to name a few.

[@jameslapham4326]

Check out his performance of this song on the Ed Sullivan Show, looks like maybe in the late 60s. Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Chuck Berry turned popular music upside down!

[@jnordello215]

I saw Jerry Lee Lewis in 1988 and 1998 -- The Killer made the piano scream -- puts on a good show

[@marke6569]

Jerry & Little Richard SOUL TO THE PIANO & VOCALS🎹🎙

[@jameslapham4326]

Check out his performance of this song done live on the Gary Moore TV show - when he was much younger.... You can see why parents in the Fifties were saying, "What's wrong with these kids, listening to music like this?"

[@mazeyandbuck]

You all are hard workers. Every time I look at a reaction video you guys are there. Keep it going!

[@hetwade77]

I have this DVD, it's called Legends of Rock, one of my favorites. Too bad Chuck Berry wasn't there.

[@edgarsnake2857]

Jerry Lee was scarier than Elvis. He had a slightly dangerous feel to him that had mothers and fathers all over America locking up their daughters to protect them from the Rock and Roll Menace. Plus. like Elvis, Jerry Lee was funny as hell.

[@lindabrewer3243]

Did you know that Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley are cousins? Very musical family.

[@allhailshaokahn1669]

Hiii!!! A song you should definitely react to is She's all I got by Johnny Paycheck. He is most definitely a very underrated country singer!

[@flautalee3090]

Ah Jerry Lewis! What a wild dude!! When I was a young adult I remember all about the scandal with him marrying his 13 year old old cousin or such (please forgive me if I am wrong about that). Master showman for sure! Wow what he did with a piano!

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

I remember seeing Jerry Lee Lewis as the headliner in a Rock-and-roll show in Norfolk, VA in 1961 when I was in the Navy (big mistake). He took his jacket off and tossed it into the crowd. One lady in the audience said, "Take it all off." He said, "You stick around for the next show and you'll see more." A large segment of the audience applauded. He blew the doors off the auditorium. BTW, in this show was Ruth Brown, The Coasters and others I don't remember. Needless to say "The Killer" was the most memorable.

[@larryl1427]

"The Killer" Jerry Lee Lewis. Don't ever stand behind that piano bench, he's been known to stand up and kick that bench out of the way and jam that thing.

[@GypsyTailwind]

Love my Jerry Lee. ❤️ He was the BEST! This is a restrained "elder statesman" type of performance and he still has amazing energy. He hit the scene in 1957 but, to me, he was at his peak in the late '60s. Miss him!!

[@xScooterAZx]

You should react to him doing this song when he was younger in the 50's. He just ROCKED it out!!

[@christinakinsley4441]

Love the reaction. I hope you find a video of him in his younger, wilder years. I also hope you check out the movie about his life. Dennis Quaid does a great job playing him.
