[Bretster2010]

Damn! that voice is incredible. A monster talent!

[sigthor1945]

Who are the 3 that didn't like this video, c'mon own up? Why? Little Richards voice range is awesome. Not many could do it. He's the greatest.

[northcarolinaboy940]

[ChiroQuacker]

@northcarolinaboy940

even johnny cash would say this kicks ass...

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

Amazing performance by Little Richard!!!

[CADWALLATER]

My favorite version of this old classic. Love the opening piano pick-up, and the band really knocked this one out. Little Richard's still got it. 

[smswerd]

Robbie Robertson is the narrator.

[SuperRecordmusic]

(WOW) NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL LITTLE RICHAR SINGIN HARD THANK YOU.

[thefancyray]

My O My - Richard sang this Wonderfully!!!

[supersaiyan2ian]

he's one sexual tyrannosaurus, just like Blaine

[Derby14]

@supersaiyan2ian LOL...That's hilarious. Little Richard wouldn't turn down a handful of chew...that's something i know for sure...

[TaskMaster619]

Is Stephen Wright narrating this? Bloody hell...

[pressreelee]

最高！One and OOOOOONLY HOOOOOOO!

[88warms]

I love this version. And the introduction. But what is it that it does to his big toe? I can't quite catch that.

[michaelcullum53]

@88warms makes it "shoot up in his boot" i believe

[umlaut22]

@88warms When something gets you so worked up LIKE THIS SONG..... You have a tendency to move your body parts and I know what he means because you twitch and move and your feet go every which way including but not limited to YOUR BIG TOE!!! UP!!!

[Allanrockart]

It doesn't get any better than this. Few songs get remade with a transformational new version. I wonder if the guys there could feel what they were involved in. Hard to tell.

[ChiroQuacker]

@Allanrockart

thanks...

when this show originally aired..i taped it on my vcr...back in the day

...i used to watch this portion over and over and over...

...of course the vcr tape was lost along the way along with millions of dollars, the wife, the big house, etc

...i was looking for this clip for years on youtube to no avail...until now

this is the GREATEST VERSION of rock island line...EVER

genius...

[MeteoraXV]

@Allanrockart i'd be jumping if i was in the same room as little richard. WOOH!

[augustoblues89]

whoww!! Awesome!

[obscenecommenter]

Fantastic rendition. In case you were wondering about the shirt, that is indeed Philip "Fish" Fisher on the skins!

[ChiroQuacker]

@obscenecommenter

thanks..i wondered who he was..watching him play in this clip..i've always wondered who the drummer was...cause he plays an amazing groove here...really drives the band...love the keyboard solo too...

best version of rock island line ever....ever...hope mccartney checks out this clip

[bzeliotis]
