Oooooh Man....YOU CAN'T do Jerry Lee Lewis without watching a live version.......when people talk about Elvis, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash touring the country under the Sun Record Label....the 4th was Jerry Lee Lewis....He actually ended one performance by pulling a can of lighter fluid out and squirted it into the opened piano and lit it on fire without missing a chord.......when the song was over he turned bowed and walked off the stage with the piano burning......AGAIN....WATCH THE LIVE VERSIONS of ALL JLL's songs!

[@stevesilsby5288]

Yes indeed, Tom! For most songs/performers I am a purist. I don't like live versions 'cause they're so often not as well done, recorded, or the live adlibs are lame. Jerry Lee Lewis though is so gifted with high performance energy that there's no comparison to the studio version or, as in this case, a more recent sanitized instrumental accompaniment.

[@ffieditor]

Im with Tom!!!! His version he did on the Steve Allen show is BUTT LOAD better!! Where end up kicking out the his seat he playing on!! He was YEARS before the Beach Boys!!!! He Was the KING after Elvis so he WASs 50'ssssss!!!! Killer Song!!!!!

[@babylonsister118]

.I love his little speech in Walk the Line when they are all talking, while on the road, well it'll just be easier to post the clip from the movie rather than describe it so head's up! He starts by saying they are all going to hell, But then says June is exempt. LOL kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5yxd5mIasyKapI

[@marleneclausen30]

You have GOT to see him perform, it’s part of what makes this song. OMG, Jerry Lee Lewis does not sit and kill the piano!! ROFLOL

[@supasoulproductions]

That's a legendary true story... Jerry Lee and Chuck Berry were on the same show and had argued over who was the headliner. Jerry ended up having to open the show. Then he set the piano on fire at the end of his set and the audience was losing their minds. When he walked off he said to Chuck Berry 'Follow that Killer'.

[@kimcutts6153]

This tune was released in 1958. But Jordan/Amber, please please find a live version of him performing this. You will not be disappointed. Xxxxxx

Yeah Jerry Lee was a contemporary with Elvis. Literally the beginning of rock ‘n’ roll.

[@izzyzephier6424]

My name is Izzy, I am 73 yrs. old. Jerry Lee was and still is one my most favorites. Back in 1967 I lived in Dallas, Texas. He came to perform at the Longhorn Ballroom in Fort Worth, twice. Both times I went to see his performance and both times it got so crowded that I was literally pushed up on the stage and I ended up standing right next to the piano. Both times!! I am Native American [LAKOTA-SOUTH DAKOTA]. So each time he finished a song he would look up at me and say, "HOW WAS THAT CHIEF?" I just wanted to share that story with you. THANK YOU!!

That picture is from the movie about Jerry Lee Lewis starring Dennis Quaid. You need to watch an actual old black and white video from the Steve Allen show in the 50s of Jerry Lee performing this one, It will blow you away. A literal wild man performance. He's almost possessed.

[@eljefe4830]

Treats the piano like the instrument it is: percussion. Jerry Lee is a beast.

[@zooks527]

Well, that WAS Jerry Lee Lewis singing. However, the picture is Dennis Quaid from the 1989 biopic about Lewis, which was also entitled "Great Balls of Fire". It's also not the original recording, it was redone (by Lewis) for the movie soundtrack in 1989, instead of using the original recording from 32 years earlier. Go back and watch a video of Lewis from the 50s. You won't forget it.

[@paintedjaguar]

Yep. Hate to say so, but ya'll done f'd up picking this particular recording. Honestly though, Dennis Quaid did a good job in that movie and looked a lot like Jerry Lee. Still a fun reaction too but yeah, you needed to see him playing.

[@10lassie]

Thank you for your knowledge of music movie history. The 80's sounding drums give it away. But The Killer was still singing and playing with the Killer rock attitude that only he had. Thanks Zooks.

[@meyerhave]

Thank-you Zooks. The ignorance of POP-MUSIC history revealed by the hosts on these "FIRST TIME REACTION" clips is staggering & painful to see and hear.

[@meyerhave]

@@paintedjaguar "... but ya'll done f'd up picking this particular recording." Thank-you for pointing out that MAJOR fuck-up on their (AMBER & JAY) part when it comes to picking and playing THE essential, original recordings, some of which, and as certainly in this case, turned the pop-musical world on its head, DESERVEDLY so, at the time of its original release!! The continuing overall ignorance of just basic pop-music history on these "FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION" clips on KZbin is most discouraging. It would not take away from the genuine "FIRST REACTION" hearing, by "Jay", if he at least knew beforehand that Bob Dylan's "LIKE A ROLLING STONE" was first released in 1965, instead of the cringeworthy embarrassment of himself (along with Amber not being quite sure if Dylan WROTE the lyrics!?!?!!!) needlessly - and wasting everybody's time - wondering if Dylan's song (It only happened to be a DECADE defining pop-music masterpiece) could possibly be from "... the Nineties". Good grief, man. Would it kill you both to do some minimal, basic research - via WIKIPEDIA for starters - on the history of any said song chosen by you both, before the playing of said song on the "ROB SQUAD"? GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

[@mmiller1296]

You need to watch the video, where he lights his piano on fire, so he's the final act over Chuck Berry, Jerry thought he should of been the headline and turned out he was, after Chuck didn't go on with a piano burning on stage. Jerry was a trip, but hard not to laugh at his antics.

He was obviously much older when this remake was done. They really need to see him do it live in his prime. That will blow them away.

I KNEW you guys would get to this song. This is Killer's best known song released in 1958. It's a shame you didn't play a video with him performing the song live as it's like watching a man going INSANE! I loved seeing Amber's reaction to the song. Seeing her jamming to it was fun as hell!

Jerry "The Killer" Lewis. Was rising in the mid to later 50's, with Elvis and Holly. They were the start if the rock n' roll era. About the same time as the Motown era. I say before check out the movie, Great Balls of Fire. It's all about Jerry Lee Lewis aka The Killer. It's a comedy about him. Stars Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee. See just how crazy he was.

The Doors were big fans of Jerry and when they got to pick who they wanted for an opening act they wanted him. By that time Jerry needed the money and kids of the late 60s were not into him. He said "Thank you for all those that applauded, the rest of you all can have a heart attack".

[@MrGaryGG48]

Amber's comment about having to listen to Jerry Lee without a video is right... to a point. To be able to really pay attention without distraction, listen once just to the music, then run a video of one of his live performances. His on-stage performance is every bit as much of his show as the music alone. Jerry Lee Lewis laid down his first recording in New Orleans in 1952. If the parents of Elvis's time (He only came along a short time after Jerry Lee, in 1956.) got all indignant about his performances can you imagine in the Bible Belt South, how the parents reacted after they saw Jerry Lee on stage... and the girls LOVED him!! 🤣

[@pattygault3848]

Jerry originally recorded this song in 1957 and he played that piano himself! He was a great ball of fire in himself! I agree with others that you need to see this live! Jerry is a wild, powerhouse!

Hi guys. This was released in the late 50s, but it was Jerry Lee's signature song and still is. He is 86 now and up until (last I heard) a year or so ago he was still making music on occasion. The picture you saw was not Jerry Lee. It was a picture of actor Dennis Quaid who played Jerry Lee in the movie Great Balls of Fire. You have to see Jerry Lee perform to really appreciate him. Playing with his feet and all kinds of stuff. He was way beyond a character. There is a great country music performer named Mickey Gilley and a televangelist named Jimmy Swaggart, Well these three guys who took very different paths have a couple things in common. They all play piano and they are cousins. Jerry Lee AKA The Killer was one of the parts of what became known as the million dollar quartet, who all did some recording for Sun Records. They all showed up at the studio one day at the same time and the boss steered them to a studio to play a few songs together. Those other 3 were Carl perkins (who was the original Blue Suede Shoes singer, Johnny Cash and Elvis.

I know you guys would love this. Jerry Lee was heavily influenced by Little Richard. Both were pure show men!! 🎹 🔥 This song was a late 50s power house. You really do need to watch a live version of this song. Little Richard was more flamboyant but Jerry Lee Lewis was pure energy!

[@vowilde8250]

I remember seeing Jerry Lee opening for Little Richard many years ago. So memorable!!!

[@csf7773]

By the way Jerry Lewis is cousins with the very talented Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart, and country legend Mickey Gilley. You should hear them all playing together. They had their own brand / style.

[@no2all]

They all played with the same heavy-handed method that I know ticked off many.

[@debibailey2968]

Definitely need to see him live.....amazing!!!!❤️❤️

[@cesarenotardonato9937]

I'm so happy that you guys love to hear Jerry Lee music, he's been a true wild one since forever

[@cheryljackson5659]

You guys REALLY need to see Jerry Lee Lewis perform this in live stock footage to watch his incredible antics. Hearing is only half of the experience. And Amber's ear is indeed correct. This is from the 50s.

[@daggarcia]

Amber, I'm amazed about your childhood experiences you had being introduced to these songs by parents and or teachers. Next best thing to have actually have lived it. I'm so glad you got to experience again now as an adult and help bring it to life for Jordan. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, and Jerry Lee brought the excitement to the next generation of Rock and Roll which they built on.

[@moakarlsson3123]

100% right! This is 50’s rock ’n’ roll! He recorded it 1957 and he had it on nr. 1 on the hot 100 billboard!!!!

[@angelh1743]

The movie is called Great Balls Of Fire 1989 and Dennis Quaid portrays Jerry Lee Lewis aka "The Killer". Jerry Lee Lewis re-recorded his old songs for the movie. So what you're hearing is the 1989 version of an old 50's song. The original version does not have a guitar solo in the middle because guitars back then could not make those sounds. They used a modern 80's electric guitar in this version.

[@deonneparrish9850]

You need to see him doing this live! That is him playing the piano. He is insanely good! Same era as Fats Domino and Elvis the 50's. Another one of his hits is "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On".

[@CelticSpiritsCoven]

Oh yeah.... back in the day.... Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin'.... Dance to that song and you were bound to go home with a date!

[@matthewdrake4385]

On same level as Little Richard too

[@lancemontgomery5497]

Are you guys ever going to do Dusty Springfield son of a preacher man

[@blackprix]

I love my favorite female vocalist absolutely hope they do her soon

[@johnj2763]

One of the best ever. Dusty was a Queen.

[@Ellen.G]

Love love love the suggestion! Maybe on female Friday?

[@darkdante2595]

I get the impression that they don't take requests from you tube comment section maybe on twitch or live streams

[@shirleycollins6241]

@@darkdante2595 I agree but I have heard them mention they get request through their e-mail.

[@ednoponen2943]

"Check that piano!", indeed. Jerry Lee is known for lots of things. Rockin' tunes, wild performances, sex, his great One of a kind.vocals and more. But his piano! Oh my. Liberace (yes, THAT Liberace) heard him back in the 50's and immediately declared him the greatest piano player ever. Yes, his runs up and down the keyboard are crazy good, but I need you to try and tune in on what his left hand is doing. It is thumping! No one has ever had a stronger left hand. That's where his incredible take on the rock n' roll beat comes from. The timing, the force, the strength . . . oh my! One of a kind. The true king of rock n' roll.

[@jessithanks8082]

MUST MUST MUST watch him live! Insane!!!

[@allensnyder6233]

He absolutely destroys a piano literally at times even has lit them on fire 🔥

[@maureencurran5625]

Great song!!! Your other viewers are right. You definitely need to see a LIVE version of this. It is from the 50s. Jerry Lee had so much press around his life. Called the Killer, married his cousin, oh his 14 year old cousin. Still people loved him. Definitely find a live version, AMAZING!!

[@wordword6039]

I saw Jerry Lee back in college he came to a local club probably around 1980. He brought the house down and he was pretty old at the time. It was crazy!!

[@sueingram8476]

Jerry Lee Lewis has a sister who plays the piano as wild as he plays it,her name is Linda Gail Lewis,,y'all have got to listen to and watch her play that piano. Jerry Lee taught her everything he knows about playing the piano. He never had any piano lessons ever in his life, but when he was 8or9 yrs old, he just walked over to the old family piano and started playing it like no bodys business, shocked the hell out of the whole family!

[@renewilliams7600]

He even plays with his feet, he is a iconic piano player

[@brentcox7772]

Jerry was awesome on stage!! Such a showman!!🤘🔥
