Carl Perkins, George Harrison, Ringo, Eric Clapton in HD!

[Ebonyivorymusic]

This was very cool. 

[MrJimyjaymes]

KILLER PERM CARL!!!!!!

[BarryDennen12]

There were some really awful mass celebrity jams in the 80's ... and then there were cool ones. This is awesome.

[TheUnfortunate9]

The glory of Perkins blew back Roseanne Cash's hair

[roym310]

to say I liked that is an understatement of epic proportions. Almost any body who was into rock 'n roll music then, was a student of Carl, Les & Chuck. The birth of modern music. Put this to the top of my Favourites, man.. thanks. :))

[TKP46]

Georges smiles is pure joy...I love seeing that man happy. I miss him as well Carl, waylon, john and even Mother Maybel could rock this if she were there.

[TKP46]

Just great talent all having fun while always showing some underatted genius!

[josepalaciospolo]

Alguien me puede decir, que cancion canta george harrison, minuto 6:05,...Gracias

[superfasulo]

@josepalaciospolo  La canción se llama Glad All Over.

[garyguitar]

I saw him not long after Blue Suede was a hit, playing a gold top Les Paul with a Bigsby. I was a little kid and thought he looked like an older man not like Elvis. George does a great job, you can tell he really studied this style.

[chowder2105]

George does a kick ass job on the guitar

[scumber56]

Wow!

[DeLarger]

When George still had a little bit of a voice left.

[vitorbastos123]

@DeLarger George always had voice man

[1bruddah]

Carl was great and under-appreciated. I had the good fortune to see Carl play at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Hollywood, which was a very small club, back in the late 70's. He was awesome and the crowd went wild. In fact security had to remove several young ladies that climbed on the stage trying to get to him!

[sandyabernathy]

George Harrison had said in an interview he grew up with this kind of music, and this program was "Carl Aide" to help Carl Perkins out financially. That's why they all did this program George said.

[Putzilein1000]

Das ist noch Musik, ich liebe diese Oldies soo sehr........und finde es ganz Klasse, sie hier zu treffen, von mirgibte es *****Sterne*****+1

Liebe Grüße

Marie

[njriley55]

Has anyone mentioned that one time The Beatles (this was before Ringo) all decided to change their names for some gig (Paul was Paul Ramon which is where The Ramones got their name) and George became Carl Harrison in honor of Carl Perkins?

[earl0520]

One KICK ass group here. If you don't this you don't like music

[mashishaconma]

verry verry good. Wow, wow, wow. Diamants.

[gr8ful4EPdedhed]

a few words for Carl. I grew up down the street. He was a mans man to every degree. stood for what was right and he'd seen and done the bad. pillar to a community let alone the foundation of rock and roll. he walked into music shop and sit down start pickin with whoever happened to be sitting in theshowroom tinkering. smile and say"go cat, pick one". He was never a dick to anyone. id run up to him as a kid so hed pat my head cuz he was mysterious, not knowing beatles and claptons studied him.

[rds1958]

@gr8ful4EPdedhed Couldnt agree more..I met him in 1990 at the Ventura Concert Theater in Ventura CA and talked with him after the show..a genuine, down to earth nice man!

[namrathah]

I love George's face at 0:22, and then at at 0:42, when Dave Edmunds starts playing before Carl Perkins has finished speaking...& George gives Edmunds a grin as if to say "You're so excited, you can't wait to start! I know, man. I feel the same way." And Ringo is such a hoot at 4:48, pretending to Roseanne Cash that his arm reeally hurts from playing the tambourine so much.

[artman572000]

I read some of these post and i get felling they know better,than the musicans that are playing , dudes carl perkins was the first real rocker back in the days . perkins was an inspration for most of these guys. how can you call him a dick ,and douchbag , hey djthalie your a fucking loser, and a nobody so who the hell are you to say day shit like that , you should take a douchebag and clean you mouth out , because its foul.

[TheMarcus124]

can someone tell eric that this is a rockabilly song ... he can't use the fucking stratocaster !!

[matchbox555]

what year

[carnyumic68]

@matchbox555  1985 this was the 30th anniversary of "Blue Suede Shoes" show

[shutdafup]

Perkins' wig makes Shatners wig look good :>) LOL

[RDHDTM]

Beatles played this in the '60's. Carl took them to school. George was his star pupil. Feel sorry for the rest of y'all.

[SirRodney1964]

and obviously they all hat fun

[nowarman55]

To dlhalie,

Who do you think you are, you smug moron. Carel was/is one of the pioneers. You ever hear of Sun Records? Million dollar quartet? Sarcasm? The man has inspired/influenced so many, who are you to criticize him?

[carlopstar]

Poor Eric... can't play the rockabilly here...

[june4783]

How great it would have been to be present at this gig. If this does not make you feel uplifted you might have passed on.

[djthalie]

Carl Perkins was such a smug douchebag in this. LOL. What a dick.

[gr8ful4EPdedhed]

@djthalie what he said is simply true. notice how he doesn't showboat letting eric and george shine cuz he likes hearing it.He could stand up and smoke em out any minute and they all know. they are his class cuz they spent their entire life attempting to pick like him , who didn't have someone to copy in 56. He invented it. those guys probably dont feel comfortable playing with him.the slightly askew rhythm.also is hard to play with that he does. eric was proud carl said he did good.

[shutdafup]

At first I thought Rosanne Cash was Prince :>) LOL

[psychkoala]

Man, Carl is just unbelievable...

The way he just throws down those great vocals like it's nothing... the timing, the rhythm, the soul... the original 50's Rockers just cannot be beat.

[ranunley]

If you can watch this and sit still,you need to see a doctor.

[ranunley]

who ever diliked this must be a rap fan.ugh

[enbanquet]

OUF fresh air on You tube

[icon999]

George topped the class, passed with honours.

[kneapoe51]

Love this one! Great memories.....had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Perkins a time or two in his later yrs. in Jackson, Tn. where he lived with his lovely wife, Valda. George was indeed a huge fan of Carl's.....as were all of these Greats, I would venture to guess. George used "Carl" Harrison as a stage name on very early Beatle tours I've read. I agree....he sure looks happy to be jammin' with him!! : ) Thanks 4 posting this.....much appreciated.

[marycreeves]

You can tell how excited George is to be playing with one of his idols!

[drumricky93]

Its amazing to see guys like that sit and admire someone. People sit and admire Clapton and all these fantastic musicians, but there was a source to it all. Whether it be Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, or The Everly Brothers. The musicians of the musicians.

[LorriMPhoto]

This is one of the most epic group of musicians to gather. Wow! Fantastic!!  What priceless footage this is. Thank you SO much for posting this ... THIS is what music is all about.

[tuskedbeast]

George was loving this!

[liamrocksmysockstm]

"some" of his friends?

[JohnnybBaseball]

Awesome!

[muhrvis]

Wow, this is great fun!!!!!!!!!!! What a collection of great musicians, all of them indebted to Carl Perkins in some manner!

[largheto]

Wow! Rock & Roll!

[planetjanet2]

Even the great George looks nervous This is Great!!!

[whooziss]

It's easy to tell how close this kind of music was to George's heart. He was having a ball playing this stuff with a master like Carl Perkins, and the other "students".

[drutgat2]

I am a huge Beatles fan, was living about 2 miles from where this was recorded in East London, and didn't know it was going on! Couldn't believe it, because the Steam Baths (converted for audio recording) were where friends of mine used to play regularly. I still feel that I missed the chance of a lifetime - I heard about it two days after the recording/taping finished.

[JayAdlerComment]

Check this video. this is the way it is supposed to be done!

[JerichoDitch2]

back when you had to be an actual musician to be in the music business... before auto-tune, lip-sync and digital effects rendered actual talent unnecessary. sigh .....

[sr71ablackbird]

@JerichoDitch2 all of that and a bass player with an actual bass also, haven't seen that since the stray cats.

[kneapoe51]

@sr71ablackbird After watching this about 5 times (lol) I think that is the guy that played bass 4 Stray Cats.....Slim Jim Phantom. Just dawned on me. Cool.

[ranunley]

@kneapoe51 it is slim jim

[carnyumic68]

@kneapoe51 Yes it is I have the whole show I taped this in1985

[italiansrock101]

@sr71ablackbird That is the bassist for the Stray Cats. Lee Rocker.

[carnyumic68]

@sr71ablackbird That guy IS in the stray cats Lee rocker. I believe

[CountessClassicRock]

I LOVE THIS!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I really dig Dave Edmunds looking over to George when Carl starts 'That's All Right, Mama' and saying "WOW!" No shit! WOW!!!

[ffairlane57]

George is on Cloud 14. :)

[guruluthier]

love it, man!

[dewy200884]

[levialone1]

[oytun123]

[ctohyc]

@oytun123 its whole lotta shakin' going on by jerry lee lewis.

[balsam22]

Carl leads like a boss.  So much respect for everyone on stage. Brings a tear to my eye in respect.

[Weiszcracker]

Tony Montana made lots of money

[MrTheACDCFan]

Would have loved to have been there!!!! Woulda freaked!!!!! Best day ever! RIP George and Carl



[jgrimsley2000]

George Harrison looks like he is having the time of his life. Carl Perkins was his biggest influence. Clapton looks a little bored. This video kicks some ass.

[TwinksToes]

Loved this! Thanks so much!

[ralfkinzel]

0 Dislikes, which is as it s/b.....but only 240 likes? Where are all the listeners when we need them?! GREAT video - thank you so very much.....

[rich58monk]

guess you're alive

[hammer44head]

Freakin awesome! Suprised Mark Knofler wasnt there for this one.You think of all the hours George and Dave must have spent as kids listening and trying to play to Carls singles and albums it must have been like christmas morning to play with Carl at this performance.Thanks for posting!

[LJH70122]

Them English boys knows they Rockabilly.

[PodMaster2009]

I used to be the guy who disliked everything until today. Great video

[SollAr56]

[rushwb]

Wow, I don't think I need to say any more....love that there isn't even 1 dislike awesome....

[MetaphysicalMojo]

Erics permanent cig stuck on his guitar just burning away.



[sandykopi]

Brian Setzer missing.

[douglasamarshall]

Go to Beatles at the BBC and you'll hear George play the same licks on It's All Right.

[mwilhelmindetroit]

One of those transcendent gatherings

[pls99271]

THIS IS THE ROCKABILITY MASTER AND HIS DICIPLES....YOU CAN'T TELL ME HARRISON ISN'T LOVING THIS.

[bauersnarky]

you can't get too much better than this.

[maryriker]

the best of the best! cx1designs is right---best 11 minutes ever.

[jpcfit]

George Harrison is almost giddy as he sings "Glad All Over." That segment of the video is the most fun to watch.

[playinguitarful]

Is there anything Clapton can't play

[dwoac6595]

@playinguitarful umm...ye...theres that one thing.....wait... nevermind he can play anything

[biperson23]

no words. what a great clip!

[kennova01]

[prikljucak]

@tomthefunky thanks a lot man ;)

[wmlfan9]

All rock legends in their own right and yet they sit at the feet of Carl Perkins.

[poreca]

Que timaço, hein!? (What a great team, isn't it!?)

[LaDonnaization]

I 'd be dancing in the isles.

[BordiniBlues85]

rockabilly rulexxxx

[kappa791]

This video is awesome!!!!

[andwayne1]

If I'm not mistaken Dave Edmunds was the musical producer of that program. Another reason why Dave Edmunds should be in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.

[davey4557]

@10;59 Clapton looks like he could give a shit. Cause he suks and doesnt no what to play. Carl should have kiked his cigerette smoking ass outta there. The smokes wafting in Roseann cash's face FFS

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@davey4557 ....I'm seeing a guitar God that is geared in on a legend, and who is trying to soak it all in. I guess he could have taken over the whole get together by playing over everyone, but it appears that he's trying to absorb the moment. The smile and stare alone right at Carl tells the whole story. You must be a Slash fan, no doubt. Can you imagine if Ron Wood or Keith Richards was there? Talk about cigarette smoke! There probably was enough cocaine in everyone's pocket to matter anyway.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

HOLY ROCKIN' BILLY CLUB BATMAN!........This is the way all musicians should have to start.....The Carl Perkins/Elvis Presley University....After you get your degree you can play whatever the hell you want. Good luck with those finals, my friend...

[Millygraham]

George is incredibly sexy on this!! xD

[desperadoxl]

Carl Perkins is one of my favs, look at the respect he has got from some of the Greats, amazing, George was a bit of a dark horse, just shows, his fingers did a lot of homework brilliant.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@desperadoxl ...Early Beatles had George creating this sound....He didn't have to do homework, he's a graduate already...

[rael1122]

fukin a

[queenslandcandy]

Isn't it great to see the 'greats' enjoying a jam together.

[MultiStevieH]

if only there was a love button...

[jcboysoviet]

Now that's a fuckin jam

[Letec45]

Song? (06:03) :-)

[johnnybgoode2605]

@Letec45 Glad All Over

[MarcoZucchi81]

Is there any dvd???

[matelot95]

@MarcoZucchi81 there is indeed...Amazon

[Slivings911]

I cannot stop watching this.  It just makes my day. :-)

[maryriker]

this is amazing

[drutgat2]

I was living about 2 miles away at the time, am a huge Beatles fan (and liked Carl Perkins, too), and didn't know that this had happened until the day afterwards. I still feel frustrated about that, but am very grateful for the 'Carl Perkins and Friends - A Rockabilly Special' from which this comes. (If you look closely, at some point during the special, you can see Olivia, Pattie and Barbara all sitting together).

[112341513534134]

Is that Blackie???????????

[cx1designs]

THE BEST 11 MINUTES, I EVER SPENT!!! Thanks so much for posting!! :o)

[drekobrbec]

Thanks for uploading !

[Helmut83]

Cómo le gustaban estas zapadas multitudinarias (y llenas de estrellas) a George!

[carlenecarter52]

[reg5381]

[tsuei05]

RIP Carl and George!

[JhoOnNeRs2]

[PubliusDiamond]

Amazing video! I just love this.

[loveyouinstead]

Thank you so much for posting this! I don't think the smile left my face for one second through this whole thing. I love seeing George so happy, and you can see SO much of young George in his face in this clip! I love it - thank you.
