I am 54 years old, and this is still my favorite song of all time. Never get sick of listening to it.
You're old now, you should be playing jazz.
Total agreement
@@homomorphic I think Jerry was 54 when first sang this
Same here and I'm 32
Im 59 now and this has ALWAYS been in my top ten of all time. We’re all old now but we’re still rockin!!!
Growing up as a proud Canadian in the 70's I was BLESSED to have been exposed to (2) of the most (IMHO) Iconic Rock songs of all time. This is one of them. A good old song about just letting the player just rock out. A tribute to rock itself. And Fly at Night by Chilliwack. Why both of these songs aren't more famous than they are will always be a mystery to me...
This song is still so awesome.i love the guitar solo i could hit repeat and let it play all day.fuckin brilliant!!! This is real rock n roll
Brenda Witherspoon-Bedard So True Brenda....too bad we get no more real true and genuine Happy Rock these days eh?
Still awesome today too! Time for another listen Brenda xD
Great sound live! Bravo to the sound engineers as well as the great musicians! 👍
Sad day for rock and blues, RIP Jerry, much respect...!
RIP Jerry. This song is on my permanent playlist.
I wish I had a vid like this to watch in 1980 when I was a 12yr old kid sitting in my bedroom listening to that guitar riff over and over and over and over and over and over and over… (well, u get the point) trying to learn it. Well, here we are 42 yrs later, and I can do a “passible” rendition, but I’ll never get it so buttery smooth as Jerry does. Damn, he makes it look so easy! Rest well Jerry, and thanks for rockin’ our socks off! RIP :(
Love, love love Jerry Doucette~!!! Reminds me of the town hall dances I started attending when I was twelve... I am now 48 and still listen!!!
My first concert 16 yrs. old stone cold sober the entire time.1130 1200 midnight .he closed.paradise bowl
I dated his step daughter Shirley in High school at the pinnacle of his stardom and was in awe of him when I went to her house. A true Canadian rock Icon who used one of his Juno awards to prop open the dog/kiddy gate that led to the basement. Good memories.
lol
When I heard this song, I put down the trumpet, picked up a bass and joined a rock band. This jam still raises goosebumps 40 years later... This tune is simply badass and Jerry’s Ode to the Art. Way cool you got to see him then. I bet his daughter was unimpressed as only a high school girl can be! LOL!
Shirley you jest!👍
Any Bar, Club, Roadhouse, Pub, Tavern, plays this song at least once every night in Canada!!
It's 2022, I'm 66 and I still love this song! Used to pray that JC would play this in the early am hours just pulling into St. Louis after a long drive from IA on KSHE 95. Rock and Roll in heaven to Jerry and my brother Rob!!! They are my Doucette Duo!!
Jerry has a spot in my heart and record collection under badass guitar players!! He still smokes!!
Doucette was my man in the 70's. I met him as he and the band travelled through Portland. Rock on, Jerry. Love you, brother.
A true classic rock track!
RIP Jerry and thanks for the music, Bought the album new in 1977.
Yesss!
This video should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. It's what its all about.
A all-time classic.... Jerry sounds great
its sad to see the greatest party song ever played in such small venues. this man should be a multie millionare for this. thank you for the geatest party sng ever
Excellent after all these years, true east end player, and Is that Frank Soda to your left. hehe another great musician
Small towns keep great music alive !!!!
I found Jerry in a record bin one day and saw that doubleneck guitar and bought that album without hearing one song on it. Wore the grooves off of it and learned to play every tune on it. Such a shame he never broke big in the States. A great player and inspiration. R.I.P., Jerry.
What a great song by a great musician, and 1977 was a great year
RIP, Jerry Doucette. His song “Mama Let Him Play” is one for the ages.
Whooohooo Jerry's still got his shit going on!!! Lawdy One of the best mo fo's out there!!!
love the drummer!!
Thats the one and only Jerry Doucett! Big as a Bull! And still playing his song 30 years later!
best song.
Tight band, killer drummer.
Still a musicians musician in every sense. Fabulous performance. Small crowd? Totally engaged. It doesn’t get any better!
Great song
I W o n a a dance contacts from the Saturday night fever album and I had my choice of what Album I wanted and I picked mama, let him play. I just discovered it And it made my Christmas. I Thank my friend Jason for that Merry Christmas Present Merry christmas everybody It's a good day.
RIP Jerry gone but never forgotten
Ahhh brings back memories of that night at the Ex, before 25,000 opening for Triumph, the Deuce gets his Platinum Record, then rips off a 12 minute version of "Mama", and tears the heart out of Triumph's fans, with a 5 minute standing ovation, waiting for an encore Triumph wouldn't give him. First time that I know of that Triumph's own fans boo'ed the hell out of Triumph for their huge mistake. But hey when the opening band is better then the headliners, they panic like that.
Wish I coulda been there for that 🤘
The seventies and ages are coming back baby
He regularly performs in Vancouver, BC and other cities in the vicinity 40 years after this song was released.
Our band covers this song , always a fun song to play..
Also "down the road" its still in regular rotaion on Kshe St. Lewis, Mo.
Saw Jerry do this and many more at the Surry, BC Canada Day celebration. Awsome day.
And BTW, I am an American.
Love it! Sounds great!
RIP APR 19 2022!!
This guy is my second cousin I believe I know my grandfather was his cousin I've never seen the live performance it's weird for me to hear my dad's accent again as my dad moved over seas
RIP 😥
I have always loved this song but this is just fukin awesome
If this song doesn't get your blood flowing......you're dead
Grizzfest, Tumbler Ridge BC long weekend of aug. be there!!!
my anthem!
yeah douce!
No offense to my favorite bands like KISS and the Crue...but I would rather go to a small venue ANYDAY like this and see a band like this that STILL HAS IT and can sound this good live without all the help of effects. Just amazing. I have goosebumps!
As someone who’s seen kiss, Alice cooper, Styx singer , and more , I couldn’t agree with you more.
these old dues can rock!
Even though I'm from the States, I've heard of Jerry Doucette during my many trips to The Great White North! Jerry has at least a couple great songs I've heard of, "Nobody" & "Mama Let Him Play". CanCon music is just awesome! Better than the stuff I'm accustomed to hearing in the States! Another CanCon favorite is "Put The Bone In" by Terry Jacks.
Bravo, Jerry!
Very 80's... I like!
Nice job on a great song.
awesome
Travel well, Jerry.
Holy smokes thats a big boy!!!!!
Yeah, I'd say about 6'5"-6'6" Eh? Does anyone who knows him how tall he is?
And also the late great drummer Richie Haywood of Little Feat!
Man he still sounds good
I wish there was a karaoke version to this song! I want to sing it too!
It's such a shame that Canadian bands don't get their due.
I can name 25 or more and even great many stars in the U.S. come from Canada and even from my small home town of Cornwall, ON.
The drummer for April Wine lives a few blocks from me as an example.
Kim Mitchell is an another fine example of someone not afraid of just showing up and playing in dive bars.
We have a rich community of talent but the radio stations are rich in the purse getting drawn by the nose and directed.
"Let him play some ... oh yahhh"

when its time to steal the crowd and play a solo jery knows just what to do
The elusive guitar solo. Seen ten guitarists try it on TH-cam, not even close. He doesn't even play original solo top to bottom in this video
i live in kamloops jerry does to he performs often he is in charge of his own shw he riles up a crowd pretty good hes loud and knows how to play
💯💙
good talent to bad back then being canadian..should have ben bigger star
What the h e double toothpicks do u mean??? Doucette is BIG ...Jiminy Crickets... He is known Worldwide...what more Do ya want???
Was very very hard to be an international star back in the day. I know :( Doucette was not that big. April Wine - not so big. Goddo? Nope. Even Tragically Hip are a niche band. Huge fan bases, but not on the levels of Bieber, Adams, or Dion.
@mrmcdrinkystein2001 Jerry was big here in Canada. Odd that you heard of him, since your from the states
The Douce is Loose again!
Courtney/ well River gets a Turn Coz U R n R JERRY STILL & NOW COZ u ON !
Is Doucette really big or are the band guys short
i grew up in courtenay woooo
would have been nice to have cameraman move around a bit getting better views of band as well as crowd shots and interaction
The early days of artificial illumination.
Love these live versions when it is the women up front dancing. They're so much better at it.
I grew up on this stuff! No wait... that's not entirely true.. I still haven't grown up! Gotta love this stuff! Reminds me of when i was a kid and all we had to do was party. Gotta love these timeless tunes!
Courtney? Clip ? Vancouver Island.BC Canada JERRY ROCKs STILL 2DAY Yeh That's COURT !!!101% Close 2 Home...BOYAH !!! Uploader Remember PACHENA ? Pacficdisturbance?
A timeless classic tune made better with hawaii shirts, ballcaps and fenders.
You can tell the light person is from the 80's.
He sold the rights to this song,
hmmmmm...place is loaded with white folk....but they still dance like northern natives!!! hahahha cool....love this song btw
Great comment, I know exactly what you are saying! What province are you from?
@mrcoffeekiller haha this dude always plays wasted bro
He's too young for the blues.
fuckin eh!
The light man has to go............. I don't think I've ever seen such a hack light show at any local bar/club. They should have just left the house lights on!
Agreed the lightman does suck
R.I.P. Gerald Thomas Leet “Laser.”
Quite impressive -- Killer licks & smokin' vocals! When does he get time to breathe? Gigantic lungs and magic fingers!!
Mama let him play!!
KSHE late 70's anyone?
There is. Soundchoice karaoke has one that's really close to the actual song.
Knew him for many years wonderful kind man love u jerry
good advice for me. Thanks
