  • The song is great:)

  • the "  KING "

  • Happy 76th Birthday Mr. Jerry Lee! XOXO

  • great song

    the piano sounds fantastic with this song

    jerry lee is amazing

  • Son, wot we got here is Killa, Steinway & Sons, Killa-combo - son.

  • everytime i listen to his music I feel in need to play piano myself.

    And everytime I play the piano myself after listening to his music I have so much fun but after a little while I find myself beeing not even good enough to impress my parents anymore.

    Than I return to listen to him and the circle begins another time.

    => => his music is so motivating :)

  • Boy... could that man tickle the ivories!!!!

  • Fuck Elvis. I will always consider Jerry Lee the king. Know why? Because Jerry paid proper respects to the other kings (Ray Charles, Chuck Berry). Elvis just gave them pennies from his millions.

  • @bloodandwhiskey5; BULLSHIT! Elvis Respected and Admired alot of other Musicians, White & Black and whenever they were in the audience at his Concerts, He would always acknowledge them to the audience, have them stand up to be seen and take a bow. He was a good friend to alot of them! Do you friggin research before opening thy mouth and inserting thy foot!

  • That's right, because if you watch the movie Walk The Line, he acknowledges Johnny Cash as he said "How about that. That's Johnny Cash everybody."

  • Comment removed

  • Great video. Jerry Lee is in fine form. Playing, singing & LOOKING amazing. Don't blink tho or you'll miss his shoulder shimmy and Killer grin @ 2:24, & you don't wanna do that. Thanks for uploading.

  • Fantastic number, fantastic performer, the GREAT Jerry Lee.

  • Jerry Lee iIS great, and he truly is The Killer. Acccording to several investigations, he killed not one, but two of his wives, but couldn't be proven due to the fact that he practically owns the whole county he lives in, including the law.

  • ELVIS IS THE KING Jerry Lee is the musician

  • anything Berry could do,Jerry Lee did better.Jerry Lee always loved proving this.I'm with you ddayson.

  • I completely agree. I just downloaded this mp3 at gooverter..net

  • JLL is the king of R&R.

  • What to say ? The killer is back

  • A slower version of a famous song by the Wild Man from Ferriday, LA, this song was recorded by dozens of artists. But Jerry Lee always gave a song his own brand regardless of who first recorded it! Go Jerry Lee!!

  • me pelqen

  • Love the way Jerry puts his personal stamp on every piece of music he touches. The guy is an incredible talent!

  • Yeah!!!!!!!!!

  • Jerry Rules 5*****

  • How NICE this rendition of a CLASSIC

    The Rhythm section is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i'm sick of hearing about the bad in people all we talk about is child rape by berry @ jackson fuck ya'll ... if they didnt make the music you people would have no rythem

    bitches every body sucks ass now thats why the worlds ending everyones a duchebag including me thats why its over way to go everyone we couldnt of had the greatest thing that ever existed in the whole outer space here on earth

  • jeah nice shirt,i got one!

  • great

  • Killer #1 Chuckie somewhere down the line....

  • The Killer !!!

  • nice shirt

  • does anyone have this complete concert on DVD?

  • I have the complete concert :)

  • number one by far

  • I can get the notes just by ear

  • i can play this song on electric guitar

  • WRONG Chuck Berry is the king of poor old little Rock' N' Roll.

    Jerry Lee Lewis is the King of all Music. HIS WORDS NOT MINE

  • Uh... No, I don't think so...

  • @ddayson Greatest song ever.

  • @ddayson Maybe because Chuck IS the king of R&R?

  • @ddayson he he, i concur!

  • @ddayson more likely he does Chuck Berry songs to show how they should have been sung in the 1st place

  • you are so wrong you dont know what your talkin about. Jerry knows hes the king of rock n roll, he started it and pretty much ended it.

  • I love Jerry Lee.

    But he did not start Rock and Roll.

    Bill Haley did.

    The Killer is still here though.

    I saw him Live many times and loved it.

  • that is fact watch chuck berry's dvd...hail hail rock n roll...interview w/ jerry lee lewis. he said chuck kicked jerry's ass and told jerry that chuck himself is the king of rock...

  • @buscapleitosNo1 - Killer considers the Killer to be the King of Rock n' Roll. And he is.

  • @buscapleitosNo1 what's also really interesting is that Angus Young of AC/DC talks about Chuck Berry as being a major influence...not what you'd expect...but it attests to the importance other musicians place on Chuck.

  • @buscapleitosNo1

    Where did you get that crazy idea???

  • @buscapleitosNo1 JLL is the king of rock and roll.

  • @83shovel

    I think there is only one king of Rockn'Roll but a lot of pioneers: Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley,Little Richard,Jerry Lee Lewis,Bo Diddley,Fats Domino ...

  • @Bwah66 Sorry, not only one *

  • Liked this!

  • Sweet Memphis sound...

  • This guy is great!!!! The bible tells us to "love the sinner...hate the sin!" So why are you so preoccupied with what YOU think? Love his music!!!

  • what's that got to do with the point of the song? which is a father who misses his daughter! as i do. geesh.

  • my great grandpa married a teenage bride, he was 15 years older than her

  • WHAT THE HELL DOES HIS PRIVATE LIFE GOT TO DUE WITH HIS TALENT??

    pEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE THAT ARE ALL JERKS AND PHONIES.

  • Hi Jerry Lee, you're always a the killer!!

  • There has been much talk about Jerry and Elvis and their young b brides. I married a 16 year old girl in 1963. I was 20. She died in 2006. We were married for over 43 years! I did not know that Jerry's 13 year old wife had divorced him.. I DID know that his sons had died tragically. I thougt I knew almost everything about Jerry and Elvis. I guess I need to do more research; but, I still believe that these two performers are the greatest that the world will ever know.

  • yeah, they divorced around 1970

  • sorry to hear about you wife. age is a number. My parents use to tell me girls use to marry at age 12 a long time ago ,but also they was much more mature for there age back than.

  • I doubt that they were much more mature back then, at least physically they probably were less mature. They just werent spoiled brats like today.

  • "he wasn't gay, but happy for the most part....

  • the guys a genius. and got some of the most LOYAL fans ive ever come across.

  • By 1981 when this was filmed, the wife he had married when she was 13 had divorced him, his two sons had died in tragic accidents, the IRS had confiscated everything he owned for back taxes, he had been jailed several times for drug and alcohol related crimes, and sued many other times. He's a survivor and one of the greatest stylists ever.

  • When I hear the Killer kick ass on the piano, I forget everything about him marrying his 13 yaer old cousine. Some comments below reminded me :-(

    To me, it's the music that matters.

  • dont get me wrong; ive got MASSIVE RESPECT for his music;and elvis too. but why girls so young?

  • I agree. No doubt about it. But too me great music overrules most things. What artists does in their sparetime is not so important to me.

    I read somewhere that the name "the Killer" is not coincidental. Jerry Lee actually killed a person. I have never checked if it's true. Does anyone know?

  • No, it is not true. It's just more propaganda against Jerry and nothing more. He used to call people killer, as in he'd say to them "hey there killer". Eventually the name stuck to him imstead. Pretty harmless.

  • @ddayson I understand that he was called 'Killer' because he would 'kill' the show. His performance would get the croud so hot and fired up that nobody would want to go on after him because they could not get them as excited. So he 'killed' it for the other performers.

  • as I mentioned before times were different and social attitudes of the time more importantly were different. To say pedophilia is wrong in any decade is going a bit extreme. Pedophilia and any sexual exploiting of children is abhorrent. What Jerry and Elvis did was very different. They loved these girls, they didn't exploit them or chase after any other 13 year old girls. So maybe you can stop knocking the personal lives of 2 of the greatest musicians this world has and will ever know!

  • I totally agree with you

  • Couldn't have said it better...

  • @ddayson

    His voice is great, Jerry Lee seems to be 17 singing here!!! VIVA THE KILLER!!!!

  • hello ! this is the killer speaking

    do i like what ?

  • haha, I live right near him in MS

  • Jerry, you rock them good!

  • rock rock rock and roll

  • great! thanx!

  • go killer go your the best

  • Back when music was music, men were men, and fender guitar picks never wore out.

  • Was this at Mid-South Coliseum?

  • too bad Jerry won't take some Wu Tang and rip it up I can hear it now, "AW Baby I like it raw..." He would own that too.

  • rockin jerry lee

  • great example of the effortless way Jerry Lee could take a song and make it his own...i LOVE Elvis but the dude down below who would take his version over Jerry's must have a tin ear but, more importantly, a complete lack of understanding of Jerry's unquestioned prowess as a MUSICIAN and song interpreter for which he is far underrated!!!...Early Elvis was unparalleled but he lapsed into singing a lot of songs later that were just wrong for him. Jerry Lee could make ANYTHING his own.....

  • no one can sings this songs the way Elvis sings it, after all his daughter's name is Lisa Marie.this songs fits Elvis only.Sorry don't get me wrong , Jerry is good too

  • Elvis' version was ok but I like the oringal best, Elvis smoothed it out a lot (too much I think, made it too ballady,, but that was where he was heading at that time i guess). Jerry Lee has sort of countrified it but the fact is that thdy are all good in their own ways, so maybe we should just enjoy them for what they are.

  • love this song thanks

  • killers king

  • GREAT

  • un grandee

  • THE KILLA!!! The Hendrix of piano as Hendrix is the Jerry Lee of guitar!

  • THAT'S MY MAN JERRY

  • Chuck wrote dis, n btw Jerry n Chuck wer good friends!

  • re Johnny Rivers - all chuck's songs were solo compositions but many were credited to certain jewish music in-crowd people. They owned music shops or studios, whatever. Berry gets hopping mad about it.

  • Yeah, like 'Maybelline', which was supposedly co-written by Alan Freed (!) and Russ Fratto (or something like that).

  • I always enjoy seeing Jerry Lee Lewis perform, including this video - but if you really want to hear this great artist doing this Chuck Berry classic at it's best, you should listen to his studio version which is on an album from the 80's. It's a long version which features Jerry and his musicians really getting down on this great tune - trust me...

  • London Session, 1973.

    Greatest Live Show On Earth, 1964.

  • The greatest stars ever all came from the same studio in Memphis. The Billion Dollar Quartet all paid their dues, none more than Jerry Lee, the last man standing. All hail The Killer.

  • you are a moron if you think johnny rivers wrote this. This is Chuck Berry genius. He's a great lyric writer,....please.............­.

  • Johnny Rivers' tune

  • If you look at the credits for the song, it lists *BOTH* Johnny Rivers and Chuck Berry as having written it. It's a shame we don't hear Chuck Berry's rendition of it more often but I actually have it on cassette tape.

  • Jerry is the real Honky Cat!

  • my god nobody does it better

  • Who ever marked this as spam is fucking stupid,your comment was really good man.

    Jerry is awesome just starting to egt into him =]

  • Chucks song,and he do it good...But here comes the KILLER.then whatever others do,it want help...NOBODY THOSE A SONG LIKE JERRY.

  • Jerry has had a very successful career as both a rock n roll musician and country musician. That's what makes him one of the greats is that he can do it all.

  • that is London

    not memphis

  • The song is called Memphis, Tennessee.

  • Yes the song is named Memphis, Tennessee. The Killer is great.

  • Anyone know where to get a version of this song that the killer did on cd? Back in the day my dad had a cassette of this and it got thrown away.

  • Elvis said once; "If I cold play piano like Jerry Lee I would quit singing".

    JERRY LEE LEWIS IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST WHEN IT COMES TO ROCK'N ROLL!

  • *could

  • I totally agree with you, jerryleeeeeeeeee! Jerry Lee comes from the true Rock and Roll era and it is so nice he is continuing to pass on his talent and songs to the younger generation for them to hear TRUE Rock and Roll! He is the greatest!

  • I do AGREE !

  • jerry-I thank God that Elvis couldnt play it as well as Jerry then! The world would be a sad place without the jewels Elvis left with his voice!Elvis did however play the piano quite well though no one noticed it.

  • Go, Jerry!!! One of his very best performances.

  • es el mejor, sin duda.

  • I love to watch Jerry play the piano and could for hours. This was terrific and it's great seeing him in such a fantastic mood. He was really having fun!!!!

  • Chuck Berry just set the standard for Chuck Berry but Jerry Lee and Carl ,Elvis set there own standard ..they all added there own style and influiences to Rock & Roll .

  • Haven't seen this before, haven't seen the outfit either.

    Thanks.

  • no one ever beats THE KILLER!!!

    elvis is nothing compared to JERRY LEE!

    LAST MAN STANDING....

  • What's not to love? It's Jerry Lee Lewis!

  • GREAT! Just have a look on the Elvis's version:) Its great!

    Thank you

  • I have before. And yes it is good. I just prefer Jerry.

  • the volume level needs to be up more...

  • Well it isn't my video originally, so crank the speakers for the time being.

  • This just prooves that Chuck Berry set the standard for everybody!

  • How do you figure? No offence to Chuck Berry or anything.

  • wish they had the video of jerry lighting his piano on fire,the story is true about him having to open for chuck berry ,it happened just as the movie portrayed berry wouldnt let him close so lewis said okay an blew the house away,berry didnt want to follow,i wouldnt have either,two different instuments but this guy KILLS!

  • Listen to the version from Elvis Presley....even better !!!

  • Thanks, but no :)

  • Flawless playing and singing...and, Lord, the Killer is gorgeous! Love the sweat wiping gesture at the end!

  • this video i think was on amazon called "American Music" its actually 1984, vhs only...
