Jerry Lee Lewis - 1957 - 02 Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On

[TheElwood76]

I can't stop watching this video! The sound is terrific!!!!!

[kindagoofy1]

I like his hair!

[1951Skylark]

Cracks me right up!!! KILLER! way before his time.....it just builds and builds and

OMG! it all just goes crazy.....the chairs just added to it all...awesome!

A one off......

[rawrxdevon]

LLLOOOOVVVEEE. Like nuff said.

[ConnieAnna1]

He was CRAZY..The Energy blows my mind..Hard work

[FJTiernan]

this was on the Steve Allen Show and to add to the effect they almost ruined the end of the performance by throwing chairs past him. Totally uncalled for.

[ridingthewaves09]

jus hold it in one spot baby - that's when you got somthin :-)

[RetroVirgo74]

There only is one and there will never be another..... I'm going to carry it on as long as I'm living. This man is the reason I touched the piano.

[ownerfate]

now that... is how you play a piano. 

[Wonka275]

at 1:11 you can see the spare piano in the background! LOL with Jerry Lee, you're gonna need one!

[Kailjiin]

@Wonka275 only if he sets it on fire xD

[simio1337]

Looks like Conan o' Brien playing the piano

[gabo672]

was you wrong he is alive he is the real king

[Baxrc]

He was great. Now that's what I can an artist. Everything live and full of energy.

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

Hope my neighbors like this song!

[edwfriend]

I saw him in person about 1957 and he spent a lot of time on top of the piano singing and shaking. When he threw his nylon or rayon shirt to the screaming girls only one got the shirt because it was much to hard to tear for any one to just get a piece of it. He never failed to give a great show in those days. KEEP ROCKING KILLER--respectfully-OL ED

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@edwfriend Why aren't you dead?

[MrBeautifulba1]

This is what happens when a deep south southern baptist experiences true freedom.

[Freizeitgangsta]

shak ya ass baby :P sorry

[blackXmagic1205]

I wish i could play the piano like that!!!!!

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@blackXmagic1205 I have to learn how to play like that before I die

[marc80sman]

Incredible there is more rock in this then the the last 15 years of main stream rock. may be more, this must have been earth shattering when he perfomed this back then. some old folk must have fainted. lol I still cant believe he had the balls back then to do these performances.

[bellgardens53]

@marc80sman It's more rock in this than the last 45 years of MOR or bad hard rock, rap, hip hop or other crap. I think JLL had an ego bigger than balls. That is why he dared be this wild, that and the devil inside him. I hope you have heard the discussions he had back then with Sam C Philips about the 'Devils Music'. Devil won, and that was good for us mere mortals, very good. ;O)

[charger19691]

Thank god for the founding fathers of Rock and Roll!

[krsauls]

One person likes it stirred...

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

[serpico56]

Long hair, head banging, beatles - It all started with these guys.and he is still the last man standing.

[willpn100]

Royal Gem!. FANTABULOUS!

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

0:46 look at the drummer xD

[beatleforce1]

C'mon over baby, we got shakin' in the barn who's barn what barn MY BARN!!! My favorite line of the song

[burkitt06075]

the first recorded form of head banging

[dstncowles]

im a metal head and throwing chairs and headbanging jerry lee lewis was so ahead of his time he was punk before the term existed lol

[Pumarisi124]

Whose barn? What barn? MY barn!!

[MrElvisgratton]

Jerry Lee Lewis est 100 fois mieux que Elvis

[jerylee90]

Questa versione è a dir poco epica pensate 50 anni la gente come reagiva a vedere un ragazzo scatenato che suonava il piano e si dimenenava al piano XD

[elbarjodu45]

Crazy

[wookyhollow]

The wildest and best version on You Tube!

[napoandthehippies]

Este si que es el puto amo del piano!

[bagimin]

Stevereno and Jerry Lee. Two thumbs way up.

[hemet92544]

this is NOT 1957, that one is loaded, hair all in face

[plwblj]

Also see medley(mighty bo young) under you tube:

shake your moneymaker-elmore james cover

[wildcatfalling]

I've been a long time fan never seen nothing like this ...

[RazorinR]

Amazing!! Jerry Lee!! The one!! Bravoooooooo!! :D

[dgmlxcbl]

this is where head banging originated from

[AbyssCrown]

@dgmlxcbl

If you headbang to this you're a fucking idiot, and you should a see doctor.

[dgmlxcbl]

@AbyssCrown jerry is headbanging you fucking cunt lil faggot you fat piece of shit

[AbyssCrown]

@dgmlxcbl

No, you're just a fucking idiot, who's also john madden. You don't headbang to this, unless you're a mentally retarded kid who wants attention.

Get a god damn life, you malignant cunt.

[consityis1]

@AbyssCrown if i had a name like abysscrown i think i would be a homo sexual i think i would go to my local walmart bathroom and do the double tap under the bathroom stalls with my fuzzy pink bunny slippers and do the krab walk naked while listening to marylyn manson handbanging to the beegees eating a bowl of dragonfly soup now if u got a problem against head banging to this jsut cause u said that im masterbaiting and ehadingbang to this so fuck u

[AbyssCrown]

@consityis1

Agreed.

[aaa0780]

try not to dance

[RamisAbud1]

Killer is the man!

[MrCrampy]

He really was a badass rocker!

[oldrockandrollero]

@MrCrampy he IS a badass rocker

[johnrudpunkrock]

well ?

[haroof]

The Killer was balls to the wall.

The greatest.

[moparterry]

whole lotta drinkin' goin' on

[metivo]

My feeling looking at the audience is that Jerry was a bit ahead of them. I think he's fantastic and the beat is irrisistible, but these little kids only faintly understand what he's doing here. They're beginning to 'get it' but not quite yet. It was very different with Elvis and then the Beatles where they were both in total sync with the audience.

[dezzi1109]

this man is legend !!

[MGVaughan1986]

WTF at 1:53! Who's throwing chairs across the stage?

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@MGVaughan1986 Steve Allen

[MGVaughan1986]

Zero dislikes! That's because this is some sweet shit!

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@MGVaughan1986 1 dislike :(

[7isunlucky]

lmao wtf people are throwing chairs at him

[haneysbighouse]

@7isunlucky steve allen did that, at the end of every jll appearance. Why? Ask Allen...

[ZombieGarageJosh]

so fucking badass

[penn4644]

These puffball pop stars of today are like farts in a hurricane. And Jerry Lee IS the fucking hurricane!

[haneysbighouse]

@penn4644 amen

[jllorigins]

@penn4644 amen

[moparterry]

@penn4644 You're like a fart too

[jewelryladymom]

I dare say he was the first headbanger? pretty wicked!

[MGVaughan1986]

Love his hair at 0:49!!

[tantemanfred]

A M A Z I N G ! Thank you

[Beatlecrazy1]

did anyone notice the chair being thrown around after he kicked it?

[theHardyMonster]

haha Come on baby we got chicken in the barn...use that for a pickup line some time! Jerry Lee thanks for shakin America.

[danhabsfan9]

this video is a great example of how amazing jerry lee is! you can see the same carizma that Elvis had.

[chaseh6]

dude can tickle the ivory

[rvictor64]

Jerry Lee Lewis was one of the bad boys of that era but his music with its heavy beat and boogie woogie piano was something that got you up and dancing. Ron

[Wormtongue13]

Jerry's a head-banger!

[coy0te9]

beware low flyin stools.

[penn4644]

Now THAT is some seriously severe Rock and Roll, folks!

[ekausrud]

That's why they call him the Killer. He's GREAT!!!

[danhabsfan9]

who says you need a guitar to make rock n roll? i always felt that jerry lee was more exciting then most guitar players anyways.

[JusRam1]

When i say rock'n'roll i mean something like this. He's the KILLER!

[FuckStaub]

OMG

That's great, !!!!!!!!!!!

[malcjow]

JERRY DON`T MESS - HE GIVES IT HIS ALL.

[danhabsfan9]

man you gotta love that hair!

[gauchatche]

0:48 HEHEHEHEHEHEHE...HEHEHEHHEHE..

Very Good!!

[docean777]

This is badass!!! whole lotta shakin goin on

[peregrinusnoctis]

Watch the (first) video clip of JLL on Steve Allen.  You'll note that after JLL rises and pushes his chair back out of his way, it reappears, sliding (from left to right) across the stage. So, I'm guessing that more than a little of the furniture tossing was purely staged for the folks at home, rather than a natural product of hormone-fueled teeny-bopper exhuberance. Classic clip.

[peregrinusnoctis]

exhuberance = exuberance

[knowMusicMan]

@peregrinusnoctis When JLL first signed with Sun, before these appearances, JLL went with Carl Perkins and others to Canada. The guitarists had moves etc to excite the crowd. Jerry Lee felt left out just sitting at the piano bench. One night, quite by accident, Jerry Lee stood up to play and knocked over the bench. The crowd went wild. After that (including the tv performances) he did it on purpose, and eventually set the pianos on fire.

[Innocuous1]

@knowMusicMan I recently read that Hendrix grew really tired of lighting guitars on fire and wished he could just stand there and play

[ZUXAZZ]

As Victor Borge would probably say: "Who's paying for the piano stool?"

[ZUXAZZ]

F#¤k Elvis - here is the real king of rock'n'roll!

[ZUXAZZ]

It sound like .... but - MY GOD! How can you live without it!!!

The Killer Rules!!!

[redfoley]

Jerry Lee at the top of his game and drummer Russ Smith sure knew how to lay down that big beat!!

[kmpelkey0010]

You ca'nt help but to watch it again when it goes off at least one more time. Great artist.

[bubbabigballs24]

@kmpelkey0010 iv done watched it like 3 times in a row he can play the shit out of that piano weed is great

[DonViMix09]

What a fuck are they throwing into him at the end? Why?

[Brutus2]

furniture, flower pots, everything

steve thought it would look great on camera

[dkfelix]

The crowd is ecstatic and to show their apreceation of the music they throw everything around. Happened often back then. A concert With Bill Haley in Germany ended up with smashed furniture for several thousand dollars!

[Ropid]

@dkfelix, Yeh, but havent you seen The Bealtes at Shea Stadium, the crowd was out of fúcking control

[dkfelix]

Oh! yeah - remember that now that you mention it.

[flakbac]

FANTASTIC

[ldljll]

JLL was in the room when the Rock Baby was born...and on this night he spanked the life into it!!!

[iloveclassics50]

[EliteKingBoo74]

On 0:49 Jerry looks like a mad scientist! I would never want to be with a guy like that!!!!! Did you know Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin? OMG!!!!!

[gangerollo]

acid...Fats is also alive

[acidqueen75]

Yes, I like Fats Domino too, he had a style all his own. He is his own institution of Jazzy Rock.

[gangerollo]

Damn what I like these live performances by JLL from the '50s

[ThatBreathlessCat]

the mutha humpa of 'em all!!!

[discovery2245]

This has to be the best performance from Jerry Lee lewis I've ever seen him do of the song Whole Lotta Shaking Going On.

[Beccum]

lui è il VERO RE!

[acidqueen75]

Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry are the last men standing. If Chuck is the "Father" and Richard the "Architect" and Elvis the "King", then Jerry Lee has got to be the Commander In Chief of Rock and Roll.

[jerryleepop]

yeah!!!

[varishnakov]

I think little richard likes to be known as the queen of rock and roll.

[jerryleepop]

THE KING!!!
