    In a couple of weeks, I'll be 80. This stuff still resonates with me. And they tried to tell me rock and roll was only a passing fad in the fifties. Great rendition of a great hit.

      Me too 84 and still rocking. Check out “ Classic 70’s TV Show Dance Party” How about them Flares, 24 inch bottoms on your pants. I know this is disco The50’s was when it all started to change. Who’d you reckon started it Elvis, Bo Diddly or maybe Fats Domino. Levon used to be with Ronnie Hawkins on Yonge street Toronto.Used to go there then,

    No wonder Levon left Dylan's tour when they were getting booed. This is what Levon wanted--a bouncing, dancing, good-time crowd who appreciated the music. He looks sooooooo happy here. And this is a great lineup--that kid on the other drum kit is terrific. (This makes Clapton's version sound like he recorded it in his sleep.)

      “Hand Jive” was originally released in 1958. I was in junior high in Louisville and everybody loved it. His only competition on the radio back then, imho, was Bo Diddley. Was this concert in the late 50s or during the 60s when his son Shuggie started performing with his dad at age 11. Shuggie was a musical prodigy who jammed with Frank Zappa, playing several instruments, and he passed his splendid genes on to his 2 sons, who also became professional musicians with their own bands.
