I ran into James Burton a few times in Shreveport, La. Used to go to his nightclub in Shreveport. I would walk in the front door, look to my right, and Burton's standing right there on the stage ! Unforgettable !
IMO, the greatest rock & roll guy who ever played a song. There's no other musician who can touch Jerry lee when he was going full throttle. James and Kenny really did some damage as well. mos60
I was there. And i also met Jerry Lee i think the day after in Copenhagen. He entered the hotel lobby with somekind of karate-moves, seconds later he stood just next to me looking into my eyes. He was in a fantastic mood.
Ich bin ein absoluter Killer Fan. Jerry Lee und James Burton, eine absolute super Mischung. Beide perfekt auf ihre Instrumente, einfach der Wahnsinn, klasse!!!
I saw this band and james burton and Kenneth lovelace placed some fantastic licks in unison. allman brothers got nothing on them. mind boggling. especially when you consider how well mr. lovelace places the fiddle.
Howdy This is from Baltic Hall in Sweden april 1997 my girlfriend and I was there . After the concert we tryed to get an autograf from Jerry Lee . We did meet and get autograf from James Burton and Ken Lovelace very nice to talk to. And the concert was very very good , so many good song . We just love it , and what a memory . Thank you for posting this video . Take Care Mike & Maj-Britt
On this day in 1962 {August 23rd} Jerry Lee Lewis performed "Sweet Little 16" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... One month later on September 9th the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #97, the following week it peaked at #95, and on it's third and final week on the Top 100 it remained at #95... It reached #38 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... Between 1957 and 1973 the Killer had eighteen records on the Top 100 chart, three made the Top 10, "Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On" {#3 in 1957}, "Great Balls of Fire" {#2* for 4 weeks in 1957}, and "Breathless {#7 in 1958}... He had sixty records make Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart, and during a two year period {1968 to 1970} he had eleven straight records make the Country Top 10... Jerry Lee will celebrate his 82nd birthday next month on September 29th {2017}... * The four weeks that "Great Balls of Fire" was at #2, the #1 record for those 4 weeks was "At the Hop" by Danny and the Juniors...
Good Grief! Never thought I'd ever see this. When I could finally buy my own records the very first one was by Jerry Lee Lewis. The *second* one was by Chuck Berry. Yes. You guessed it. ...It was this one!
I love to hear him, but have you noticed that today, his left hand dosen't play the boogie as in the concert and the ones before. I have often wondered if he may have had a stroke.
I was there that night. The Killer was in godd shape but the sound was very poor. It actually sounds better on video. Got a nice talk with both Burton and Lovelace afterwards. Nice guys and very professional with fans.
When John Lennon met Jerry Lee Lewis, John dropped to his knees and kissed his feet. Jerry's son asked his father, "Dad, dad, is that John Lennon?" His father said, "Yes it is John Lennon."
THANKS TO THE GOD FATHER OF ROCK N ROLL MR CHUCK BERRY RIP WITHOUT CHUCK YOU WOULD NOT HAVE HAVE ROCK N ROLL . ONLY PAT BOURNE SINGING OH BERNARDINE AND ACKER BILK .
That tends to happen when you learn to play by ear and not with a metronome for the beat. I think it's great , keeps the song building up leading to more
2nd guitar is Kenny Lovelace. He's been with Jerry Lee since 1966 (according to Wikipedia).
Fantastic
Jerry lee kenny and james burton...

Those two "killers" - Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis and the great James Burton live on stage together.
The result - Rock and Roll at his best!!!
and they sure didn't lose the feel of the music even if they got older
Three of the greatest words in creation: "Play it, James!!"
IMO, the greatest rock & roll guy who ever played a song. There's no other musician who can touch Jerry lee when he was going full throttle. James and Kenny really did some damage as well. mos60
I can name a few Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Carl Perkins and Bill Haley, but other than that no.
Uh, Little Richard Anyone?
Bill Haley? What about Fats Domino?
Yes, nice to hear Burton and Lovelace together.
Little Richard's version of Roll Over Beethoven is much better, even the piano is much better and wilder
I was there. And i also met Jerry Lee i think the day after in Copenhagen. He entered the hotel lobby with somekind of karate-moves, seconds later he stood just next to me looking into my eyes. He was in a fantastic mood.
Great singer! Burton is my favourite r 'n' r guitarist!
Che talentiiiiiiii.......meravigliosi....questa è musica...GRAZIE
Jerry's morality has been questioned his whole life but I know no one who played the 88's like him...not even the GREAT Ray Charles played like Jerry
Fantastique, la vrais musique!!!!
Jerry Lee and James Burton...what a combination...the best..
james and jerry jahhh
James burton a real guitarist..
He doesn t have guitar as decoration and doesn t play only by chords as did elvis.
Chuck Berry,Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly are the best! RIP CHUCK AND BUDDY😢💟💪

Ich bin ein absoluter Killer Fan.
Jerry Lee und James Burton, eine absolute super Mischung.
Beide perfekt auf ihre Instrumente, einfach der Wahnsinn, klasse!!!

Santiago Lopez

Fantastic! Great to see,and thanks Kenneth Olsson for posting this gem.

Say what you will about JLL's personal life, but he was a founder of R&R and put rock-a-billy on the map. JB is my idol.

Johnny Cash is the greatest.
Dude, really?! Why are you on every JLL video stating Cash is the best...why aren't you putting that on Cash's videos???? Troll much???
Jerry Lee Lewis was and is great, but Chuck Berry is the Greatest Rocker of All Time.
3:32 "Play it James" !!!

The heart of rock lies in his fingers

Jerry Lee once said, "Jimmy (Swaggart, Jerry Lee's cousin) can really preach but I got all the talent." Got that Killer!
Jerry Lee ... a cool gentleman rock´n roller.
I love to hear him, but have you noticed that today, his left hand dosen't play the boogie as in the concert and the ones before. I have often wondered if he may have had a stroke.
HE ROCKS!! Makes me think to ELVIS 🕺🎸🏆

When John Lennon met Jerry Lee Lewis, John dropped to his knees and kissed his feet. Jerry's son asked his father, "Dad, dad, is that John Lennon?" His father said, "Yes it is John Lennon."
Jerry Lee's trademark-gets faster as he goes along.

I was drunk in Boston and Philadelphia PA but it dont matter because this here Piano I can really Play go, go Jerry go Jerry B. Goode.
The Beach Boys were sued by Chuck Berry for plagiarism. Surfing USA is the exact same melody as Barry's 'Sweet Sixteen.'
