Summary: Jerry Lee Lewis "Live from Austin, Texas" 2008-10-18
Comment: JERRY LEE ROCKS!!! HIS BAND ROCKS!!! THIS CONCERT DVD ROCKS!!! Jerry Lee and his band perform at their very best on this concert dvd that was filmed October 17, 1983 on the Austin City Limits TV show. Jerry Lee plays his classic Rock & Roll songs, along with some of his classic country songs and also performs a gospel song. The running time is approximately 55 minutes, but every minute rocks. This concert showcases his aggressive, dintintive piano playing style.
The line up consists of Jerry Lee on piano and lead vocals, Kenny Lovelace on guitar and fiddle, Joel Shumaker on guitar, Bob Moore on bass, Bill Strom on organ, and Buddy Harmon on drums.
The entire concert is outstanding. Some highlights I liked inlclude: "You Win Again" (a Hank Williams classic that Jerry Lee turned into a gold record in the 50"s), "39 and Holding" (a Jerry Lee courtry classic about growing older), "Rock and Roll Over", "Boogie Woogie Country Man" (this is a good one that showcases his distinct piano playing style and singing style), "CC Rider", "Chantilly Lace", "I'll find it where I can", "In the Garden" (this is the traditional gospel song), "No headstone on my grave" (I want a monument!), "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' goin' on".
At times during the concert Jerry Lee plays the piano with his right foot while also playing with his hands. This concert dvd showcases his unique piano playing and unique singing style. This was Jerry Lee's only appearance on the Austin City Limits TV show, and it was an outstanding performance. He was asked to come back and perform again, but turned them down because he didn't think he could do any better than this performance.
It is outstanding, and therefore I highly recommend it.

Summary: The real Mc.Coy of Rock and Roll ! 2008-10-14
Comment: This albums are a real tribute to the talent of one of the most original interpreters of this genre of music. His interpretation of Rock and Roll on the piano is unique to him. Well worth adding to any collection. -JM-

Summary: Jerry Lee's the Man 2008-10-02
Comment: I bought this DVD for my Dad for Father's Day. Isn't it funny how music from the 50's & 60's still sound so fresh, while a lot of today's music is stale after two weeks? Jerry Lee is a legend in any circle, his music is timeless and full of energy, he's a real rocker from back in the day. This DVD was recorded in 1986 and is a must have.

Summary: Jerry Lee Excels In 1983 PBS-TV Classic 2008-05-20
Comment: This 15-song set originally recorded in October of 1983 for PBS' "Austin City Limits" features the Killer at his best- mature, confident, and relaxed- mixing country, rock'n'roll, and gospel with an equal blend of grace and fire. Very little editing has taken place from the original broadcast with all the songs present and in their original sequence. The material, the band, the production, and Jerry Lee himself are all top-notch. Yes, "Last Man Standing" is great- but go back 20-plus years and watch the power of "Chantilly Lace" and "Boogie Woogie Country Man", the vivid "39 and Holding", and the wild "What'd I Say" and you'll get an excellent glimpse into what Jerry Lee, and his legacy, are all about.
