[codeking32]

Saw this in high school, it was awesome!!

[jgf1019]

Love it! I remember seeing this special on Cinemax back in the mid 80s. We recorded it to Betamax and I watched it over and over. It's been years since I have seen this. Today, I was visiting my dad and he started playing it. I said where did you get this from? He has it on DVD. I never knew this special was on DVD. Now I am going to get one for me :-)

[Weiszcracker]

Ringo is actually a really solid drummer!

[fitz3511]

These are the MASTERS .... Thanks for sharing it ... anyone watching it would have to be blind not to see the difference in talent and onstage attitude and presence to todays stars.

Three legends together, delivering the greatest rockabilly song ever.....unbelievably great.

[09blaine]

[BloozeDaddy76]

Carl, Eric, and Ringo rock their butts off in this classic performance! I love how Carl jumps back at 1:21 while watching Clapton rip into his first solo.

[cbc51]

Carl Perkins slyly never revealed if the lyric was, "Matchbox HOLE in my clothes" or "Matchbox HOLDING my clothes". 

[castorobagnato]

eric clapton ah! fantastic bluesman

[pro3tlb]

Thank You Leo Fender!!!!!

[ployter94]

Now this is music!

[Darkpietje]

damn I knew Eric and Carl coul sing, but I didn't know Ringo could do it too

[Xmenfan246]

@Darkpietje Just listen to Ringo's vocals on The Beatles' Boys, Matchbox, Act Naturally, Honey Don't. Listen to Ringo's Beaucoups of Blues album. He was a great country/rockabilly singer.

[portinaribe]

Super-mega awesome !!!

[stevecherm]

pure class.

[johnnyhuis]

This impressed me! Mr. Eric Clapton's guitar was in tune with the band! Very professional! He does no how to handle it!!!

[goldenmorningfarminc]

Fantastic! I love Carl, always have. Ringo got better looking with age. Eric is always a pleasure.

[VoxMax1200]

All compliments for Ringo,Carl, "Master of Routine"...and all the people from the band on stage . Performance and upload is great,amazing for all of us!!!

[mmcattle]

[eugenecraddock]

@mmcattle because they played with carl perkins one of the must underated rock 'n' roll pionner

[strat8383]

Hey Mr... I agree but the Beatles made the Beatles...great band

George was the rockabilly guy, this whole series shows him at his best

RIP George and thanks for the tunes...and John and Paul and Ringo...

I'm glad I'm alive to hear it

[mrcountry215]

ringo and george made the beetles what they were,and they both love carls music he wrote a lot of songs for them

[Dementhaa]

Formidable concert ...this is life!!! .... woahhhh

[rustednails]

the drummer is ringo starr and he drummed for the beatles. maybe you heard of them? the first guitar solo is by eric clapton. the second solo is carl perkins.

[inquiry7]

I don't recognize the guitar players but they both do a very nice job. The drummer looks familiar...can't place him???

[KauaiGolfer1]

Nice cover band, right?

[inquiry7]

Yes. I would like to see them at a local watering hole on a Friday night.

[lilcaesarlv]

Uncle Carl!!!  Great Vid

[intheblues]

does anyone know what year this was shot? Cheers :)

[rbound827]

I think this was in 85, to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of Carl's Blue Suede Shoes

[QueenBeatlesWings]

@intheblues 1971

[sacostales]

wo0o0! what a super band, Carl Perkins music...Clapton on lead and Ringo on drums! i would be happy just to be a tambourine player in this band

[BloozeDaddy76]

Hot solos by Clapton and the best drumming Ringo has ever done by far. Long live the memory of the late great Carl Perkins!

[benitojauregi]

If you state that is because you don't really know Ringo Starr as a drummer...

[loouuni]

great
