Jerry Lee Lewis - Down The Line (from 'Live At The Star Club, Hamburg', 1964)

Live At The Star-Club, Hamburg (1964)

Mean Woman Blues / High School Confidential / Money / Matchbox / What´d I Say (Parts 1 & 2) / Great Balls Of Fire / Good Golly Miss Molly / Lewis´ Boogie / Your Cheatin´ Heart / Hound Dog / Long Tall Sally / Whole Lotta Shakin´ Goin´ On

Not released in the USA until many years later, this European album (the French issue is shown above) is rightly often cited as the wildest rock 'n' roll album of all time! Ably backed by The Nashville Teens (with Ramsgate's own Barry Jenkins on drums), here is Jerry's wildest performance ever captured on tape. There's even an excellent forthcoming book (I know this because I proof-read it!) largely based around this land-mark album. I won't even attempt to pick highlights this time as everything on here is beyond amazing! 5 out of 5

Outtakes: Down The Line

Not released on the original album due to the vocals being too quite during the opening seconds, this unbelievably wild version was first issued on the rare German-only various artists Star-Club Show 6 LP. This track is included on the Bear Family CD reissue of the 'Live At The Star Club, Hamburg' album.
