Live At Star Club

Description

Product Description In poll after poll, this LP is hailed as one of the greatest records of all time and quite possibly the greatest live recording ever. Jerry Lee was never on better form, and his backing group, the Nashville Teens, are still trying to catch up with him. Songs include 'Mean Woman Blues', 'High School Confidential', 'Money', 'Matchbox', 'Good Golly Miss Molly', 'Lewis Boogie', 'Hound Dog', 'Long Tall Sally', and 'Whole Lotta Shakin'. Now the set is complete with the missing title, 'Down the Line'. This simply must be in every Rock 'n' Roll fan's collection. No excuses! Review A howling beast of an album, with Jerry Lee (backed by The Nashville Teens) on world-conquering form playing to a feral crowd of liquored-up Hamburg rockers on April 5, 1964. Live LPs rarely capture a tenth of the excitement in the room, but this superbly recorded slice of mayhem preserves all the guts and glory of a vintage night on the Reeperbahn when The Killer ruled the street. Mersey Beat might have been the new sound in the charts, but as the original rock 'n' roll bad boy said elsewhere after torching his piano, ''I'd like to see any goddam son of a bitch follow that.'' --MOJO Magazine, October 2011
