Oooooh Man....YOU CAN'T do Jerry Lee Lewis without watching a live version.......when people talk about Elvis, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash touring the country under the Sun Record Label....the 4th was Jerry Lee Lewis....He actually ended one performance by pulling a can of lighter fluid out and squirted it into the opened piano and lit it on fire without missing a chord.......when the song was over he turned bowed and walked off the stage with the piano burning......AGAIN....WATCH THE LIVE VERSIONS of ALL JLL's songs!
Yes indeed, Tom! For most songs/performers I am a purist. I don't like live versions 'cause they're so often not as well done, recorded, or the live adlibs are lame. Jerry Lee Lewis though is so gifted with high performance energy that there's no comparison to the studio version or, as in this case, a more recent sanitized instrumental accompaniment.
Im with Tom!!!! His version he did on the Steve Allen show is BUTT LOAD better!! Where end up kicking out the his seat he playing on!! He was YEARS before the Beach Boys!!!! He Was the KING after Elvis so he WASs 50'ssssss!!!! Killer Song!!!!!
.I love his little speech in Walk the Line when they are all talking, while on the road, well it'll just be easier to post the clip from the movie rather than describe it so head's up! He starts by saying they are all going to hell, But then says June is exempt. LOL th-cam.com/video/ykNFfR5gW40/w-d-xo.html
That's a legendary true story... Jerry Lee and Chuck Berry were on the same show and had argued over who was the headliner. Jerry ended up having to open the show. Then he set the piano on fire at the end of his set and the audience was losing their minds. When he walked off he said to Chuck Berry 'Follow that Killer'.
@@thewiseoldherper7047 Yeah, when Elvis got drafted into the war, Jerry Lee was on the top. Too bad the London thing happened. Took Jerry Lee a long way to recover from that.
He recorded this in '57. I had to laugh when you said he was "sitting there, killin it". I don't know if he ever "sat still" on a piano bench. He usually ended up kicking it out of the way !😂 He was a wild man on stage. This was about 10 years before the Beach Boys started.
I don't know when this was recorded but it's not the original. Reading below it says it was recorded for the movie which was 30 years later. I much prefer the original
My name is Izzy, I am 73 yrs. old. Jerry Lee was and still is one my most favorites. Back in 1967 I lived in Dallas, Texas. He came to perform at the Longhorn Ballroom in Fort Worth, twice. Both times I went to see his performance and both times it got so crowded that I was literally pushed up on the stage and I ended up standing right next to the piano. Both times!! I am Native American [LAKOTA-SOUTH DAKOTA]. So each time he finished a song he would look up at me and say, "HOW WAS THAT CHIEF?" I just wanted to share that story with you. THANK YOU!!
Well, that WAS Jerry Lee Lewis singing. However, the picture is Dennis Quaid from the 1989 biopic about Lewis, which was also entitled "Great Balls of Fire". It's also not the original recording, it was redone (by Lewis) for the movie soundtrack in 1989, instead of using the original recording from 32 years earlier. Go back and watch a video of Lewis from the 50s. You won't forget it.
Yep. Hate to say so, but ya'll done f'd up picking this particular recording. Honestly though, Dennis Quaid did a good job in that movie and looked a lot like Jerry Lee. Still a fun reaction too but yeah, you needed to see him playing.
Thank you for your knowledge of music movie history. The 80's sounding drums give it away. But The Killer was still singing and playing with the Killer rock attitude that only he had. Thanks Zooks.
Thank-you Zooks. The ignorance of POP-MUSIC history revealed by the hosts on these "FIRST TIME REACTION" clips is staggering & painful to see and hear.
@@paintedjaguar "... but ya'll done f'd up picking this particular recording." Thank-you for pointing out that MAJOR fuck-up on their (AMBER & JAY) part when it comes to picking and playing THE essential, original recordings, some of which, and as certainly in this case, turned the pop-musical world on its head, DESERVEDLY so, at the time of its original release!! The continuing overall ignorance of just basic pop-music history on these "FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION" clips on TH-cam is most discouraging. It would not take away from the genuine "FIRST REACTION" hearing, by "Jay", if he at least knew beforehand that Bob Dylan's "LIKE A ROLLING STONE" was first released in 1965, instead of the cringeworthy embarrassment of himself (along with Amber not being quite sure if Dylan WROTE the lyrics!?!?!!!) needlessly - and wasting everybody's time - wondering if Dylan's song (It only happened to be a DECADE defining pop-music masterpiece) could possibly be from "... the Nineties". Good grief, man. Would it kill you both to do some minimal, basic research - via WIKIPEDIA for starters - on the history of any said song chosen by you both, before the playing of said song on the "ROB SQUAD"? GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!
That picture is from the movie about Jerry Lee Lewis starring Dennis Quaid. You need to watch an actual old black and white video from the Steve Allen show in the 50s of Jerry Lee performing this one, It will blow you away. A literal wild man performance. He's almost possessed.
I KNEW you guys would get to this song. This is Killer's best known song released in 1958. It's a shame you didn't play a video with him performing the song live as it's like watching a man going INSANE! I loved seeing Amber's reaction to the song. Seeing her jamming to it was fun as hell!
His nickname was The Killer. Jerry Lee Lewis was a tough act to follow. He is a tremendous piano player, excellent singing chops and a seemingly tireless showman.
I saw him perform this live. He was old and when his job was done he stood up from the piano, threw his coat over his shoulder and shimmied off stage while the rest of his band finished the song. It was pretty great.
Yes this was 50s. I wish you had played a video. Watching him was half the fun. By the end of the song he would be on top of the piano playing it with his feet. No one played piano like him and I know how much Rob likes piano. He would go crazy watching him play. Jerry Lee was a mad man on stage.
Agree you must see a live version of Jerry from his young days in the 50's.s You see not only his great piano playing, but his jumping around while playing and kicking the stool away and playing standing up, etc. Quite the showman as well as honky tonk piano god...
Back in the 80’s, a buddy and I went to see Jerry Lee. He was an hour late showing up to the show. He came out and played a few songs, stood up and looked at the audience, almost like he was going to leave. My buddy and I yelled out “Trouble in Mind”, he sat down played it and walked off stage. He only played for maybe 45 minutes, but it was a Rock and Roll 45. We loved it!
You need to find a live performance. They didn't call him the "Killer" for nothing. He put his whole body into playing the piano. A truly amazing experience to watch him play.
The Doors were big fans of Jerry and when they got to pick who they wanted for an opening act they wanted him. By that time Jerry needed the money and kids of the late 60s were not into him. He said "Thank you for all those that applauded, the rest of you all can have a heart attack".
You need to watch the video, where he lights his piano on fire, so he's the final act over Chuck Berry, Jerry thought he should of been the headline and turned out he was, after Chuck didn't go on with a piano burning on stage. Jerry was a trip, but hard not to laugh at his antics.
Jerry originally recorded this song in 1957 and he played that piano himself! He was a great ball of fire in himself! I agree with others that you need to see this live! Jerry is a wild, powerhouse!
The video is amazing when he sets the piano on fire and plays "the fire" out of it!!! Only Jerry Lee Lewis and Joanne Castle can tear a piano up like this.
I come here every so often , why ? I loved your reaction, the smiles and joy you get from this song makes my day a little brighter, thank you so very much .
Jerry Lee Lewis is one that watching the live performance is a whole different experience! He brought the energy to each performance. Classic 50’s Rock & Roll.
The album cover from this is from the movie Great Balls Of Fire that was filmed in 1987 starring Dennis Quaid. Jerry Lee rerecorded all of his hits for the soundtrack. You need to see the movie. Jerry Lee Lewis's music was primarily recorded in the fifties.
As much as I enjoyed this, it's just not the same without watching the man go balistic on the piano! He is the most versatile piano player ever, using not only his fingers, but his head, his feet, elbows and anything else on the keys. Watching him perform is like watching a jack russell on speed! The man can't sit still, but is jumping all over the place while playing piano and singing.
Since you guys did this song by Jerry Lee Lewis, you have to do his song “Whole Lott’a Shakin’ Going On”. Same exact vibe as this one! Amber you had me smiling with those dancing moves 😁
You have to do the live version! You just have to see Jerry Lee tearing that piano up!!! And you are right, this is from the 50's. My daughter was born in 1979,but she absolutely loves Jerry Lee Lewis!
Hi guys. This was released in the late 50s, but it was Jerry Lee's signature song and still is. He is 86 now and up until (last I heard) a year or so ago he was still making music on occasion. The picture you saw was not Jerry Lee. It was a picture of actor Dennis Quaid who played Jerry Lee in the movie Great Balls of Fire. You have to see Jerry Lee perform to really appreciate him. Playing with his feet and all kinds of stuff. He was way beyond a character. There is a great country music performer named Mickey Gilley and a televangelist named Jimmy Swaggart, Well these three guys who took very different paths have a couple things in common. They all play piano and they are cousins. Jerry Lee AKA The Killer was one of the parts of what became known as the million dollar quartet, who all did some recording for Sun Records. They all showed up at the studio one day at the same time and the boss steered them to a studio to play a few songs together. Those other 3 were Carl perkins (who was the original Blue Suede Shoes singer, Johnny Cash and Elvis.
My dad got to see The Killer Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley both are amazing piano players they did their set and at the end of the night they push both pianos side by side each other and play like two more great hits from each other music together and at the end they both played great balls of fire and both men set their pianos on fire as they played this song. They just killed it.
Jerry Lee Lewis was another of those on the cutting edge of rock and roll in the 50's. Many who were contemporaries as well as those who followed after him said he was a major influence in their music and careers. You NEED to see him play this song live... he was a maniac when he played
you have to see him live. He is one of the best piano players out there. When they show a close up of his piano playing you will be amazed at the finger work. It's a 50's sound but I can tell by his voice this is a newer version. Love his country music,
yes, the quality of the real song was kind of shitty and the producers asked him to re-record it for the movie. It's impressive that he was older and he played it way better than when he was younger.
Amber, I'm amazed about your childhood experiences you had being introduced to these songs by parents and or teachers. Next best thing to have actually have lived it. I'm so glad you got to experience again now as an adult and help bring it to life for Jordan. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, and Jerry Lee brought the excitement to the next generation of Rock and Roll which they built on.
Guys! You couldn’t listen to this in the CAR without jumping around. Y’all had the perfect reaction to it. When he performed this song live the place would go up for grabs from all the kids going wild! The KILLER was insanely good!
Agreed. Also in a couple days is the Big Boppers Bday, so maybe time to do a tribute day where they do a Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valens song in one day.
Great balls of fire 1958 please do it again to a live version because you must see the guy in action to really get what he’s all about Jumping on the piano, playing with his feet et cetera. One of the great pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll
I love to see Amber's reaction when the wild music starts! You must watch Jerry Lee Lewis perform this live though - your reaction would be multiplied 100%. Definitely late 50s.
Good movie....great song! The cover you're seeing is Dennis Quaid standing on a piano from the movie "Great Balls of Fire". Jerry Lee Lewis is known for his extreme piano playing. Definitely worth going down the J.L.L. rabbit hole.
Late 1950s this song was first released. Jerry lee an absolute legend. Thanks for this guys and great to see y’all pay respect to one of rock n rolls great pioneers. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼🤠
Elvis had about a two year head start on Jerry Lee with respect to recording. But it was no contest. Elvis was way ahead of Jerry Lee in nearly everything as a performer.
I know you guys would love this. Jerry Lee was heavily influenced by Little Richard. Both were pure show men!! 🎹 🔥 This song was a late 50s power house. You really do need to watch a live version of this song. Little Richard was more flamboyant but Jerry Lee Lewis was pure energy!
My parents went in a date to see him in concert in the 60’s. He was indeed the “Killer”! After he was done with the piano, I don’t think it ever recovered!
Saw him live once and had the chance to go back stage after the show (I was working as a radio DJ at the time) to do an interview. He was as much a character in person as he was on stage. "Hi son would you like a rum and coke" LOL
For Jerry Lee LEWIS YOU need to watch a live performance. He was amazing in the piano. Watching him on the piano was a show itself. He stood up to play, played it with his foot. Crazy. Must watch a live performance if you can find one
You need to see him doing this live! That is him playing the piano. He is insanely good! Same era as Fats Domino and Elvis the 50's. Another one of his hits is "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On".
I'll second all the millions of people saying you should see the live performance of this, but I think it's always best to hear a studio version first for any song. Some then require the live treatment, but never first. The studio version gives you a clean representation of what the song originally sounds like to then compare to the fun of a great live performance.
Love you two!!!you bring grest music and many smiles to so many.still please check out Toby Mac ...song called The Goodness!! This is considered gospel rap crossover.I think you will really like it. IT IS SO POSITIVE MSG FOR TODAY!!! THSNK YOU...JERRY A real fan of your chanel
You guys REALLY need to see Jerry Lee Lewis perform this in live stock footage to watch his incredible antics. Hearing is only half of the experience. And Amber's ear is indeed correct. This is from the 50s.
It’s fun watching you guys exploring the music of the last 75 years because you are like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without knowing what the overall picture looks like and all the timelines and genre crossovers and family trees of the artists.
Great song!!! Your other viewers are right. You definitely need to see a LIVE version of this. It is from the 50s. Jerry Lee had so much press around his life. Called the Killer, married his cousin, oh his 14 year old cousin. Still people loved him. Definitely find a live version, AMAZING!!
This was a newer recording of Jerry Lee's 50's hit that was made for the movie Great Balls Of Fire with Dennis Quaid playing Jerry Lee. You should do a video of him live.
I was in grade 8 when that song came out and I can remember one of my classmates standing on top of his wooden desk mimicking Jerry Lee and sing Great Balls of Fire . So blessed to have been growing up in the best time in history.
Great reaction, as always! I love how much you two loved that song and those piano bits but, yeah, as everyone else has commented, you def need to see Jerry Lee Lewis performing live and absolutely beating that piano. A great example of that wild energy is his performance of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" from the Steve Allen Show, 1957: th-cam.com/video/xs_bkhqJmRI/w-d-xo.html
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!! Pure talent! Please watch the movie "Great Balls of Fire". It's a good movie about Jerry Lee Lewis. Dennis Quaid played the heck of Jerry Lee. He even set the piano on fire while he plays the piano just like Jerry Lee at his Concerts!! That's a picture of Dennis Quaid playing Jerry Lee in the movie. Like Jerry Lee the movie is a trip! Trust me, you won't forget it.🔥 🔥
Yup. Jerry started in the fifties... and that's him playing the piano. He could put on a really wild show!!! You should check out some videos of his. Cheers, Steve
A live version would've been amazing, check out Billy Joel's official video for scenes from an Italian restaurant, piano, horns...it ticks all your boxes guys .
Jerry Lee Lewis just an explosive artist who played with almost every part of his anatomy and will never be forgotten by anyone who witnessed him perform.

Yeah Jerry Lee was a contemporary with Elvis. Literally the beginning of rock ‘n’ roll.

Absolutely, he looked like he was just banging on the piano and accidentally hit the right keys.
9 times out of 10, I will recommend a studio version. Jerry is one of the rare performers where seeing a live version is where the magic is.
Agreed 100%
You must see him live!
Absolutely... this is one of the RARE instances where you have to see the performer live.
Jerry lee is one of the hand full of artists that are better live than studio recodings, in some cases, not all the time
You NEED to see him live on TV to see how crazy he is. He's out there like Little Richard.
Agree you must see a live version of Jerry from his young days in the 50's.s You see not only his great piano playing, but his jumping around while playing and kicking the stool away and playing standing up, etc. Quite the showman as well as honky tonk piano god...

The video is amazing when he sets the piano on fire and plays "the fire" out of it!!! Only Jerry Lee Lewis and Joanne Castle can tear a piano up like this.
Jerry Lee's cousin Micky Gilly can tear up a piano too.
I agree, but would also like to add Ben Folds to that list. I’ve seen him live a bunch back when and he was pretty electric.

Dennis Quaid does him great...you have got to see him live.
Dennis did a great job in the movie
I Love that film, and Dennis ! :0)
A friend's wife threw a birthday party for him and got Dennis Quaid's band to play. Lot of fun.

They all showed up at the studio one day at the same time and the boss steered them to a studio to play a few songs together. Those other 3 were Carl perkins (who was the original Blue Suede Shoes singer, Johnny Cash and Elvis.
My dad got to see The Killer Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley both are amazing piano players they did their set and at the end of the night they push both pianos side by side each other and play like two more great hits from each other music together and at the end they both played great balls of fire and both men set their pianos on fire as they played this song. They just killed it.
Jerry Lee Lewis was another of those on the cutting edge of rock and roll in the 50's. Many who were contemporaries as well as those who followed after him said he was a major influence in their music and careers. You NEED to see him play this song live... he was a maniac when he played
If you love this Era of music,you should really give buddy holly a shot!! True innovator of rock and roll !!
took the words right out of my fingers (on the keyboard). Totally agree!
Yes. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry , Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard are the foundation that rock was built on
@@jamestate5059, you left out Bill Haley and the Comets.
Another vote for listening to one of the absolute first rock and roll artists BUDDY HOLLY
Ditto for Buddy Holly, my favorite 50s rocker, a song writing genius.
you have to see him live. He is one of the best piano players out there. When they show a close up of his piano playing you will be amazed at the finger work. It's a 50's sound but I can tell by his voice this is a newer version. Love his country music,
I think Jerry re recorded his songs for the biopic movie about him, such a great movie
Exactly! Live Jerry Lee!
JERRY LEE LEWIS LIVE. IS A MUST
yes, the quality of the real song was kind of shitty and the producers asked him to re-record it for the movie. It's impressive that he was older and he played it way better than when he was younger.
@@NikkieTwix Dennis Quaid captured his cocky-funny essence. One of my fav biopics by far.
Amber, I'm amazed about your childhood experiences you had being introduced to these songs by parents and or teachers. Next best thing to have actually have lived it. I'm so glad you got to experience again now as an adult and help bring it to life for Jordan. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, and Jerry Lee brought the excitement to the next generation of Rock and Roll which they built on.
My mom loved him. She used to jitterbug to this. She was a late teen/twenty-something in the 50’s so this was her era.
Guys! You couldn’t listen to this in the CAR without jumping around. Y’all had the perfect reaction to it. When he performed this song live the place would go up for grabs from all the kids going wild! The KILLER was insanely good!
You guys MUST watch a live version of him playing this song! He puts on a WILD performance playing the piano (with his FOOT at one time)!
Tomorrow October 20th is the 44th year Anniversary of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash. Happened October 20, 1977. Maybe a tribute is called for.
Agreed. Also in a couple days is the Big Boppers Bday, so maybe time to do a tribute day where they do a Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Richie Valens song in one day.
Please school me.
I thought that plain crash had The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and Richie Lawrence in it. Please set me straight. I'd appreciate it.
I'm sorry.
I understand now what U're sayin.
@@Cindrbell it was Richie Valens on board (songs La Bamba, Oh Donna)
"Sweet Home Alabama" "Call Me the Breeze" "What's Your Name"
He absolutely destroys a piano literally at times even has lit them on fire 🔥
Great balls of fire 1958 please do it again to a live version because you must see the guy in action to really get what he’s all about Jumping on the piano, playing with his feet et cetera. One of the great pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll
Jerry Lee Lewis is one playing piano & singing. You should watch live video to see what performer her was.
You really need to see him playing live, playing piano with his feet , elbows etcetera. I love the 50's and 60's music, so many great flavours
He even plays with his feet, he is a iconic piano player
Jerry was awesome on stage!! Such a showman!!🤘🔥
Saw Jerry Lee live in concert once when he was 67 years old - and he sounded just like this when singing and playing!
Amber was just awesome with the dancing. Jerry Lee is one of the greats on the piano.
Great reaction. You need to see him do this live...Talk about wild!
I love to see Amber's reaction when the wild music starts! You must watch Jerry Lee Lewis perform this live though - your reaction would be multiplied 100%. Definitely late 50s.
You've got to pull up a performance and watch him play that piano live!
Good movie....great song! The cover you're seeing is Dennis Quaid standing on a piano from the movie "Great Balls of Fire". Jerry Lee Lewis is known for his extreme piano playing. Definitely worth going down the J.L.L. rabbit hole.
Late 1950s this song was first released. Jerry lee an absolute legend. Thanks for this guys and great to see y’all pay respect to one of rock n rolls great pioneers. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼🤠
50's, 60's, Jerry and Elvis were up and comers at the same time. Big competetion to Jerry.
Yeah - I reckon they’d *really* enjoy the Million Dollar Quartet…
@@awmperry except the mics were not properly set up since they just turned them on without the knowledge of the performers.
Elvis had about a two year head start on Jerry Lee with respect to recording.
But it was no contest. Elvis was way ahead of Jerry Lee in nearly everything as a performer.
@@JonBurrows3577 That’s hardly going to stop them enjoying it, though.
I know you guys would love this. Jerry Lee was heavily influenced by Little Richard. Both were pure show men!! 🎹 🔥 This song was a late 50s power house. You really do need to watch a live version of this song. Little Richard was more flamboyant but Jerry Lee Lewis was pure energy!
I remember seeing Jerry Lee opening for Little Richard many years ago. So memorable!!!
My parents went in a date to see him in concert in the 60’s. He was indeed the “Killer”! After he was done with the piano, I don’t think it ever recovered!
Saw him live once and had the chance to go back stage after the show (I was working as a radio DJ at the time) to do an interview. He was as much a character in person as he was on stage. "Hi son would you like a rum and coke" LOL
For Jerry Lee LEWIS YOU need to watch a live performance. He was amazing in the piano. Watching him on the piano was a show itself. He stood up to play, played it with his foot. Crazy. Must watch a live performance if you can find one
This dude didn't just sit at the piano. Played standing and almost dancing. Incredible
Yes Dusty Springfield , son of a preacher man for female Friday!!! Yes yes yes! Oldie but goodie!
or "I Only Wanna Be With You" or "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me"
What about The look of love. Sexiest vocal ever.
You need to see him doing this live! That is him playing the piano. He is insanely good! Same era as Fats Domino and Elvis the 50's. Another one of his hits is "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On".
Oh yeah.... back in the day.... Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin'.... Dance to that song and you were bound to go home with a date!
On same level as Little Richard too
Can you imagine dancing to this Wonderful!,
The Killer!! Jerry Lee Lewis. A must see in Live performance! He could bring the house down plus set his piano on fire!!
The Killer. His early performances were wild. He once set his piano on fire.
I'll second all the millions of people saying you should see the live performance of this, but I think it's always best to hear a studio version first for any song. Some then require the live treatment, but never first. The studio version gives you a clean representation of what the song originally sounds like to then compare to the fun of a great live performance.
Love you two!!!you bring grest music and many smiles to so many.still please check out Toby Mac ...song called The Goodness!! This is considered gospel rap crossover.I think you will really like it. IT IS SO POSITIVE MSG FOR TODAY!!! THSNK YOU...JERRY A real fan of your chanel
You guys REALLY need to see Jerry Lee Lewis perform this in live stock footage to watch his incredible antics. Hearing is only half of the experience. And Amber's ear is indeed correct. This is from the 50s.
He puts on a fabulous show plays with his feet sits on top the piano!!
It’s fun watching you guys exploring the music of the last 75 years because you are like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without knowing what the overall picture looks like and all the timelines and genre crossovers and family trees of the artists.
Great song!!! Your other viewers are right. You definitely need to see a LIVE version of this. It is from the 50s. Jerry Lee had so much press around his life. Called the Killer, married his cousin, oh his 14 year old cousin. Still people loved him. Definitely find a live version, AMAZING!!
This song was released in 1958.
Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On also by Jerry Lee is also released in 1958.
Jerry Lee Lewis, was doing that music back in the 1950's & 60's he is still living in his 90' s best piano player I have ever seen and I've seen a few
Jerry Lee Lewis just passed away at the age of 87. He was a legend and thanks for the review.
This was a newer recording of Jerry Lee's 50's hit that was made for the movie Great Balls Of Fire with Dennis Quaid playing Jerry Lee. You should do a video of him live.
Amber, love your excitement and moves. You guys do need to see the videos of him live
Rockabilly at his best! Chantilly lace! You have to do the live versions!
These guys need to go back and do Jerry Lee and watch live versions. It's a MUST.
I was in grade 8 when that song came out and I can remember one of my classmates standing on top of his wooden desk mimicking Jerry Lee and sing Great Balls of Fire . So blessed to have been growing up in the best time in history.
Between Sam Cooke, Fats Domino, and Jerry Lee Lewis, their recent reactions are right up my alley!
You MUST watch this with Jerry Lee playing the piano, that is so much of the performance!
You NEED to see the live video!!!! Great pick and reaction! JERRY LEE was scandalous. Please see a live video.
Great reaction, as always! I love how much you two loved that song and those piano bits but, yeah, as everyone else has commented, you def need to see Jerry Lee Lewis performing live and absolutely beating that piano. A great example of that wild energy is his performance of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" from the Steve Allen Show, 1957: th-cam.com/video/xs_bkhqJmRI/w-d-xo.html
I have to agree with everyone else, you MUST watch him do this one live and in his prime. A-MAZING!! 🤘Rock On!🤘
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!! Pure talent! Please watch the movie "Great Balls of Fire". It's a good movie about Jerry Lee Lewis. Dennis Quaid played the heck of Jerry Lee. He even set the piano on fire while he plays the piano just like Jerry Lee at his Concerts!! That's a picture of Dennis Quaid playing Jerry Lee in the movie. Like Jerry Lee the movie is a trip! Trust me, you won't forget it.🔥 🔥
Yup. Jerry started in the fifties... and that's him playing the piano. He could put on a really wild show!!! You should check out some videos of his. Cheers, Steve
A live version would've been amazing, check out Billy Joel's official video for scenes from an Italian restaurant, piano, horns...it ticks all your boxes guys .
His 1977 performance of New York State of Mind also ticks every box!! Also, Jordan would be absolutely shook by Billy playing Angry Young Man!
@@jamessinacore6991 OMG yes, Angry Young Man would leave him catatonic. 😃
Jerry Lee Lewis just an explosive artist who played with almost every part of his anatomy and will never be forgotten by anyone who witnessed him perform.
So much fun!! You kids would fit in fine back then. Thank You for the Joy too. BeBlessed
Jerry Lee, Micky Gillie, and Jimmy Swaggert are cousins and all can tear the piano up.
Used to watch Jimmy on Sundays. (Jerry married his 12 yr old cousin).
