Carl Perkins looks like a rockabilly Superman here, and what a fun, kind man, everyone seemed to love him, didn't they. The way he pumps up the band and guest stars is so selfless.
The first time I saw Carl, he opened for Elvis, at the fair grounds, in Tupelo, Ms. That was the first time back, to Tupelo for Elvis, after he had become famous. My sister and I stood in line for 7 hours, and got a front row seat. One of the biggest thrills of my long life.
Man, here i sit at age 55, i woulda been 18 when this was filmed, and til today, id never heard of it! Oh, Lord, how wonderful! My heart is fluttering, and im smiling with tears in my eyes. God bless all who made this possible! Amen!
The ultimate salute from the Beatles' generation to the Sun Studio generation, without whom the former would never have existed. Interestingly, the first time Harrison met Noel Gallagher, he asked him if he liked Carl Perkins. So, it's clear that Perkins was one of George's greatest musical influences, and therefore one of the Beatles' and of all of popular music. I feel like this was Carl at his absolute peak singing wise, One of the greats and no one ever stepped on his blue suede shoes!
No one is cooler than Carl Perkins. No one. What a fabulous guitarist, songwriter, singer and performer. Thanks for the memories Carl. Love them Blue Suede Shoes. So did Elvis' mom. RIP Carl.
Pure, unadulterated talent! The world will never, ever hear again such pure, raw music. The best has come and gone, all we have left is an appreciative audience. Pray that future generations will seek the 50-early 70's music.
Carl Perkins was one of a kind. Never got quite the recognition that he deserved. No other rockabilly artist can touch him. He had energy, rhythm, the voice and the guitar playing ability. I have listened to a lot of rockabilly over the years and it seems so natural to him where others have struggled to keep the beat and rhythm going. I miss him and would have loved to have been at one of his concerts. What an entertainer, just gets you tapping and moving. This is 37 years after this concert....Wow!
I agree, my father grew up listening to him in the 50's and I have since the 60's, his voice was fucking incredible, he was always smiling and moving around and having a fun time, he was fun to watch. His voice got better it seems as he got older especially in this concert, Carl Perkins is a legend in Rockabilly and will never be forgotten
Underrated is a term I see way too much on youtube describing people that aren't underrated. However, underrated is a term that applies to Carl Perkins. What an extremely talented, humble and kind man. They don't make him like this anymore.
De mult de camd urmăresc acest concert si nu ma mai satur Karl avea o privire si o dragoste deosebita pt George, Rossane Cash si pt prea talentatul Dave Edmunds,, oprivire de frate mai mare ocrotitor. MARE ERA CARL PERKINS. si avea doar cinzeci si ceva de ani. !!! RIP. Înger de om. !!!
What was really great about this concert is that each musician actually looked humbled to play and really enjoyed themselves, even Carl at the end with that huge smile knew this came off really well.
RIP Carl Perkins (April 9, 1932 - January 19, 1998), aged 65 RIP George Harrison (February 25, 1943 - November 29, 2001), aged 58 RIP Mickey Gee (July 3, 1944 - January 21, 2009), aged 64 You will be remembered as legends.
When a list of the greatest rock n' roll performances of all time is compiled, this wonderful show must rank somewhere in the top ten. In my humble opinion, this might be the greatest rock n' roll performance from any era ever captured on camera. Perkins, Clapton, Harrison, and Starr somehow manage to sing and play better here than they have in the past 40 years! You can feel the electricity in every song as each performer rocks their hearts out with the great Carl Perkins at the peak of his talent. This fabulous show has rocked my soul since I first discovered it in my uncle's collection in 1996. Clapton's dynamite performance at 12:40 is simply the best rock n' roll he's played in decades!
It is great. This came up on autoplay after I played a 1956 live version of Honey Don't. I didn't expect the integrity. He sounds like Carl Perkins. He feels like him. He doesn't really look like the young guys but he hadn't lost a thing. The Beatles--maybe George and John the most--loved this kind of music, and that's to their credit. You can have the whole British invasion for all I care. Not too keen on any more invasions.
Uh, the drive under all those great front men would be slim Jim phantom on stand up trap and Lee rocker on upright bass (of the stray cats). There's a reason why it sounds so loose and tight both at the same time.
Carl Perkins was my cousin. We are related through my father's side and Carls mother. I never had the chance to meet him personally, but his wonderful life is an open book. ❤ I've always loved his music.
I've seen this show now for about 50 times and I still like it very very much. What a great artists they are and what an amazing concert. Cannot get enough of it. Carl Perkins, you are amazing.
I am 19 years old. when I was 2 or 3 years old, my dad would put this show for me to watch and he says I used to stay on the couch in my diaper singing and dancing to all the songs. I liked Carl Perkins so much that I learned to put the DVD on just to watch this show... 17 years later I'm watching this and I get emotional, because my dream is to live from music and Carl Perkins is literally the first guy who I listened and loved listening in my life. thanks
You are very right!! There are many times in my life that, if I didn't have music, I prolly wouldn't be here. And there is nothing I know of that makes a person happy other than god old rock-a-billy and fantastic people playing it!!!
The best part about this concert is that the guest artists - super duper stars in their own right - all appear to have not only wanted to have been there, but thankful to have been. And all seem to have had great admiration for Carl Perkins. Quite a statement for the gentleman.
Really like Ringo's "Honey Don't", playing and singing. This is great. Haven't come across this concert before somehow. Like the guitar background, grinding but still harmonic. Grateful to those that filmed, recorded, and mixed this for us.
I agree. Been listening to him since his Cream days and seen some amazing guitar licks from him ( Derek & the Dominos ) but this concert is one of my all time favorites. He was definitely cookin there.
Carl Perkins was the BEST ever!!! His soft, smooth delivery of rockabilly music glides right under your skin and makes you feet move whether you want them to or not,
Truly a magical night of blissful rock n' roll that captures a vibe and spirit of pure joy like no other concert video I've seen. A masterpiece for the ages!
What a most beautiful, perfect, magical night of the greatest REAL American Rock N'Roll music. Carl sounded as cool and smooth as he did 30 years earlier. And the other legendary Rock performers that joined him on stage. From his old friends to the new disciples like Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom. But to me it was George Harrison that made me cry. He was already starting to get ill. But if you look at his face, his performance and more importantly his smile. You know he was so happy to be there. Playing the music he grew up as a teenager listening to and learning to play. The same music he played for Lennon and McCartney. The same music he played with them in Hamburg, at the Cavern Club and on their early records. He was in his element this night. God how I wish I could have been there. This is what Rock N'Roll is all about cats and kittens. ❤
The absolute truth is, George usually loved playing with Paul and John . . . and ALWAYS loved playing with Eric and Carl. You can tell he loved every second of it.
Hi all. I’ve watched this hundreds of times and appreciate every artist on the stage and the reverence they show mr Perkins but quite frankly mr Clapton bossed it as he always does when he has people he looks up to, it’s almost like he has a super sense that takes it to another level, no one matches him in this mood. I’ve seen him loads of times and sometimes he’s just on another planet. Thank you.
I remember when this came out as a TV special. I still love it with all the great musicians playing with Carl who are having a blast & playing with one of their musical heroes. Great!!!!!!!!
Carl perkins put the rock in the roll!! What a concert! What a collection of talent! And i will bet you the farm that each & everyone of them idolized mr. Carl perkins!!
I've read most of the previous comments and agree with them all, what a turnout of muso's, rest in peace Mr Perkins your music lives on, you set the standard, brilliant.
This music is so life affirming and rich in tune! A great reason to get up and move too! We need to grab on this goodness and remember we all danced! Wonderful to see this and long live Rock & Roll & Rockabilly
good god how did i ever miss this!! Carl Perkins I know was an inspiration to all people on that stage. They look like a bunch of little kids up there all smiling at him. It's GREAT!!
Jeez, I've seen everything - well almost - and I taped this way back then. I return here every now and again on a kind of a pilgrimage, you know. But tonight I am by myself in a very faraway country and Carl, Eric, George and them all are bringing me back home - wherever home is, this is it. Thank you, you wonderful people
Carl Perkins. har i denna konsert aldrig varit så bra som nu, helt otroligt hur han har fått ihop detta, såklart det underlättar om man har duktiga Musiker med i bandet.
Eric Clapton "Mean women blues" that solo .. i remember being blown away by that solo when i watched this with my dad when i was a little boy .. so so good
Thank you for posting such an awesome concert for all of us to see. Every time I see or hear Mr. Perkins I think of my precious grandmother. She adored him and raised me up on his music. Such bittersweet memories. Oh how I miss her......😪
IMHO George's finest moment. All the footage I've seen from him in the Beatles never looked quite like this. One thing you cant fake is heart. This is the music he truly loved and the Master whose licks he copped.
@@vayabroder729 To deny that elvis's critically acclaimed recordings were light years better, speaks volumes about your low IQ level. I love Carl, Johnny, jerry lee, etc...... But elvis's critically acclaimed recordings are at another level entirely.
@@bradhuskers I believe we have a communication problem and you are putting words in my mouth. Go back and re read and try to understand. And second; why do you feel the need to attack immediately? Do you feel inadequate in your life perhaps? I suggest you go in for psychological counseling. Good day.
To see this man live was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life - seeing the musical SOURCE of so many immitators... and damn; he could play guitar, sing, work the crowd like a Rock-a -billy God. He was just the absolute real deal - as much as I love '60s icons like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, George Harrison etc, to see the guy that inspired them was mind blowing. Just listen to how deep and rich his voice was....his guitar playing just pops. Truly one of the best musicians in American history. I am blessed to have seen him live.
What an AMAZING concert! I would have loved going, but we we’d just moved to Maplewood NJ a few months before with our toddler daughter. This concert was just off our radar. We did make it to Passiac NJ the next summer or so, to view the beautiful waterfalls there. Thanks to TH-cam, I feel just about as close to being there as is possible ~ In Covid time 2021. Thank you for posting this incredible concert! I pray that 2022 will be very, very good one for musicians and their audiences.
George is right in there with the rockabilly [pre Rock'n Roll] beat of this music. Very cute. Really lovely to read the comments of fans, who knew how encouraging this concert was, for George. Very special.
This concert was really a great gig and a great event for Carl and everything due to George Harrison who gathered and inbolved a bunch of famous people , his friends, to honour his hero, Carl Perkins. George also sang True Love at his funeral.
Can't believe this is now almost 30 years ago. I saw it when it was first televised in the UK early in 86, and still this is the best gig I have EVER seen. Have you ever seen George look so happy?
matelot95 33 yrs., I believe mate ! Among the BEST GIGS of the ERA !! When "White Boys" first started to be bold & dare to play the "Black Man's" SOUND !!! This is the result , DELUXE, of that 50's/60's BOND of MANY, but NO were NEAR ALL, of the GREAT talents of the ERA who were contributors to this SOUND !!!
@@geralddutcher1191 There was also a *LOT* of Country & Western in that seminal mix, Western Swing as it was better known. Chuck Berry's first hit Maybelline is a direct rip of it, a case of the black man borrowing from "white country hicks."
And damn - Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby. It doesn't get any better than this. Music truly heals. I grew up with my dad singing, "It's one for the money..." and I had no idea Carl Perkins wrote Blue Suede Shoes. My dad was from the silent generation and didn't share alot. What I wouldn't give to watch this concert with my dad and talk to him one more time. Treasure your parents.
Oh indeed, Perkins wrote Blue Suede Shoes....that's a cool dad memory of yours. Ringo Starr recorded several Perkins tunes (Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby)..and I'm a huge Starr fan as well as Perkins. Loved the Beatles since 1964, I was 16.
Not long after this Ringo started his ALL STAR BANDS and GEORGE started to record again and the WILBURYS got together so I'm sure this concert had a lot to do with it! A big thanks to CARL for that! They really ROCKED the NIGHT OUT HERE!
@Tessmage Tessera You need to brush up on your musical history. Ringo formed his All-Starr band in 1989 after he sobered up. He hadn't toured since 1966 - with The Beatles! "It Don't Come Easy" was his first hit single recorded in 1970 as a solo artist ... nothing more and nothing less.
One of the all-time greats. Kudos to the sound guys on this show, too.
god damn...what a collection of super stars musicians…just utter classics all around. I love Rockabilly music.
Carl Perkins looks like a rockabilly Superman here, and what a fun, kind man, everyone seemed to love him, didn't they. The way he pumps up the band and guest stars is so selfless.

Carl Perkins really loved to play, a real nice guy!
I didn't expect to see the Stray Cats' bass player and drummer. Fantastic.
That's absolutely incredible!
Dave Edmunds is severely underrated and unappreciated. This concert rocks!
I agree.
He's one of the best.
Its all about hits mate, but I agree, he is a legend
Check out Carl Perkins and Dave Edmunds' updated version of Honey Don't on soundtrack for Porky's Revenge.
Pure, unadulterated talent! The world will never, ever hear again such pure, raw music. The best has come and gone, all we have left is an appreciative audience. Pray that future generations will seek the 50-early 70's music.

He was THE REAL DEAL; I would’ve loved to meet him in person; just like his son Stan.

Definitely , one of the best gigs ever ! I remember it well from 1985 (on TV) and just came across it tonight--still class !
Great concert-wow. RIP George and Carl
The one and only Car Perkins backed by the very world class rockers he inspired decades before. --- Long live Rock and Roll ----
So cool to see George looking up at Carl like a star struck schoolboy. There's just something about music that fills your heart with joy

Genial was Carl Perkins în thod concert. !!! Gaby
The Eric's solo in Mean Woman Blues makes me shivers in my back. Just insane.
WOW no words to capture the history of those legends honoring the pioneer of rock, Carl Perkins!

Best rock n roll concert ever. Everyone looked to be having a great time.
You can really tell these players and singers had immense respect for Carl. Everyone brought their A+ game. 🔥
I've seen this in the 80s on TV and recorded it on VHS, and today on TH-cam.
Best Rock'n Roll concert I've ever seen!
Claptons second solo on mean woman blues has to be one the greatest I've ever heard him play. Blazing hot!
Clapton is not real. He is from outer space. Unbelievable
Mr Claptons tone and slap back are superb as well. Great observation!!
@@user-et2fj8xm5l I believe he was playing through a Vox AC30; very distinctive tone.
I agree. Been listening to him since his Cream days and seen some amazing guitar licks from him ( Derek & the Dominos ) but this concert is one of my all time favorites. He was definitely cookin there.
Watch the smile on his face as plays the turnaround at the end of the solo. He knows he hit that one out of the park!
Man, he was great!!
This really is a fantastic concert of the great guitarplayer Carl Perkins surrounded by great musicians. Timeless recordings....
Carl Perkins was the BEST ever!!! His soft, smooth delivery of rockabilly music glides right under your skin and makes you feet move whether you want them to or not,
Watching this video cleanses your body of all the negative thoughts and feelings you may have. It blows me away every time I watch it.

George Harrison was the greatest harmony singer in the history of rock. Just flawless.
Bollocks!!!
Even just on his own. He has the most beautiful voice, and was the best Beatle all around, best looking, best voice, best guitar.
My fav beatle
He was good harmony singer but horrible lead singer.
@@RafaelAlivtres What?? George was a great singer. Could sing great harmonies as well as lead. You need to listen to more of George's music.

Carl Perkins. har i denna konsert aldrig varit så bra som nu, helt otroligt hur han har fått ihop detta, såklart det underlättar om man har duktiga Musiker med i bandet.
He seemed to get better with age indeed, and he was a bad dog when he was younger (I mean that in a good way).
Carl Perkins was a great/real/true person 100%.
Eric Clapton "Mean women blues" that solo .. i remember being blown away by that solo when i watched this with my dad when i was a little boy .. so so good
Seeing George with The great Carl Perkins
was a dream, dream come true , dream come true
so come on honey ,Eric and Ringo too.
One of the best live show i've ever watched...🤘🍻🤘
This really swings and Carl sounds better here than 30 years prior. Thanks for the upload!
BBC production always a wonderful quality. Great for the archives
I watched this when it first came out...loved it then and it still makes me wanna dance in my nearly 80 year old bones.
LOVE IT! George is now my favorite Beatle after seeing his joy and admiration for Carl.
I Know. He Really Admires Carl. God Bless.
George grew up listening to Carl on the jukebox. This was a dream come true for him, 30 years later.
@@richd9683 Man, so good to watch/listen to this again! Still so impressive, George did note for note Scotty Moore solos too!

Yes this great
This is damn good show
Yes most of the backing band have been Edmund associates for years (Brits and Yanks alike), and he knows the big cats too.
Thank you for posting such an awesome concert for all of us to see.

IMHO George's finest moment. All the footage I've seen from him in the Beatles never looked quite like this. One thing you cant fake is heart. This is the music he truly loved and the Master whose licks he copped.
this and the concert in 1992 in London are his best live moments. Oh and Bangladesh
Not seen this since the original broadcast in 85. Still amazing and yes it made me cry
Carl Perkins was amazing. No one did rockabilly like he did, just a force of nature!
He invented it.
But elvis presley's sun sessions destroy him.
@@bradhuskers I don’t think it’s a competition; I ADORE them both and they were label mates.

To deny that elvis's critically acclaimed recordings were light years better, speaks volumes about your low IQ level.
I love Carl, Johnny, jerry lee, etc......
But elvis's critically acclaimed recordings are at another level entirely.
@@bradhuskers I believe we have a communication problem and you are putting words in my mouth. Go back and re read and try to understand. And second; why do you feel the need to attack immediately? Do you feel inadequate in your life perhaps? I suggest you go in for psychological counseling. Good day.
Those songs and performances have not aged at all. Rip Carl. Big man with a big talent.
To see this man live was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life - seeing the musical SOURCE of so many immitators... and damn; he could play guitar, sing, work the crowd like a Rock-a -billy God. He was just the absolute real deal - as much as I love '60s icons like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, George Harrison etc, to see the guy that inspired them was mind blowing. Just listen to how deep and rich his voice was....his guitar playing just pops. Truly one of the best musicians in American history. I am blessed to have seen him live.

One of my all time favourite concerts. Just so exciting and everyone's enjoying the shit out of it. Excellent!
Absolutely stunning. One of the best video I've ever found in here in over 10 years. Outstanding performance from George too.
Mad how musicians like these will be gone forever soon unreal
What an AMAZING concert! I would have loved going, but we we’d just moved to Maplewood NJ a few months before with our toddler daughter. This concert was just off our radar. We did make it to Passiac NJ the next summer or so, to view the beautiful waterfalls there.
Thanks to TH-cam, I feel just about as close to being there as is possible ~ In Covid time 2021. Thank you for posting this incredible concert!
I pray that 2022 will be very, very good one for musicians and their audiences.
George is right in there with the rockabilly [pre Rock'n Roll] beat of this music. Very cute. Really lovely to read the comments of fans, who knew how encouraging this concert was, for George. Very special.
I wish Carl was here to see how rockabilly has endured and how he is respected for his huge influence on so many people.
But, at least he got to see that influence here, with this great line-up. And musicians like The Stray Cats kept the tradition going. Excellent show!
One of the original Rock 'n' Rollers !
A hero to us all !
True Rocka.
@@waynej2608 to be more exclusive it is no longer allowed to be called rockabilly it is now to be called trailer rock🤪😂
This concert was really a great gig and a great event for Carl and everything due to George Harrison who gathered and inbolved a bunch of famous people , his friends, to honour his hero, Carl Perkins.
George also sang True Love at his funeral.
Can't believe this is now almost 30 years ago. I saw it when it was first televised in the UK early in 86, and still this is the best gig I have EVER seen.
Have you ever seen George look so happy?
Discovery for mr too...really BEST.That beat!
matelot95 33 yrs., I believe mate ! Among the BEST GIGS of the ERA !! When "White Boys" first started to be bold & dare to play the "Black Man's" SOUND !!! This is the result , DELUXE, of that 50's/60's BOND of MANY, but NO were NEAR ALL, of the GREAT talents of the ERA who were contributors to this SOUND !!!
I remember seeing as well in 86. We taped it and watched it over and over
@@geralddutcher1191 There was also a *LOT* of Country & Western in that seminal mix, Western Swing as it was better known. Chuck Berry's first hit Maybelline is a direct rip of it, a case of the black man borrowing from "white country hicks."
Magnific.God Bless You,mister Carl Perkins.Rock and Roll forever.Greetings from Romania.
What a great concert of real and pure RocknRoll; with Dave Edmunds, Eric Clapton, Rosanne Cash a.o.
And damn - Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby. It doesn't get any better than this. Music truly heals. I grew up with my dad singing, "It's one for the money..." and I had no idea Carl Perkins wrote Blue Suede Shoes. My dad was from the silent generation and didn't share alot. What I wouldn't give to watch this concert with my dad and talk to him one more time. Treasure your parents.
Oh indeed, Perkins wrote Blue Suede Shoes....that's a cool dad memory of yours. Ringo Starr recorded several Perkins tunes (Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby)..and I'm a huge Starr fan as well as Perkins. Loved the Beatles since 1964, I was 16.
"Treasure Your Parents " - beautiful !
Carl wrote it.
And elvis presley perfected it
WHAT A CONCERT!!!!! Thank you Carl [RIP], for your music, your songs, and your superb spirit.
REAL MUSIC BY SOME OF THE GREATEST LEGENDS!!!!!!!THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not long after this Ringo started his ALL STAR BANDS and GEORGE started to record again and the WILBURYS got together so I'm sure this concert had a lot to do with it! A big thanks to CARL for that! They really ROCKED the NIGHT OUT HERE!
@tessmagetessera6141 he started his all star band in 1970? I learn something new everyday. Cheers
@tessmagetessera6141 interesting, down that rabbit hole I go. Cheers
@Tessmage Tessera You need to brush up on your musical history. Ringo formed his All-Starr band in 1989 after he sobered up. He hadn't toured since 1966 - with The Beatles! "It Don't Come Easy" was his first hit single recorded in 1970 as a solo artist ... nothing more and nothing less.
@Tessmage_Tesseraare you referring to The Beatles? Ringo's first attempt at an AllStar Band.
