Vodka Collins, Alan Merrill, I love rock n roll

Rock veteran Alan Merrill does a spontaneous short teaser version of his composition "I love rock n roll" in Yokohama Japan at the jazz & blues festival 1997 with his band Vodka Collins.
Caught on film with my camera cell phone.
FYI- Merrill wrote sang and recorded the original Arrows version in 1975, later made mega hits by Joan Jett and Briteny Spears.
I love when in the introduction he says "uh, maybe you know this" like he was singing some obscure unknown song. Fantastic.

So he played the complete song then? How was it, did the band kick in fully?

@baskethilt I stopped filming and started watching, sorry! It was great!! Everybody started jumping up and down so i couldn't have filmed anyway.

[fabnekko]

It is like an unplugged version.

[KeithTheKing]

Yeah, kind of, but plugged in to an amp:)
