Talk about being humbled! I have never seen anyone play a piano like Jerry Lee Lewis that balls of fire song nobody could repeat that that is a Jerry Lee Lewis original makes you want to get up and dance dance!! Rest in peace my man you truly are in a league of your own. 🤣💖
He was really good great piano player saw him years ago at the Cains ballroom in Tulsa Oklahoma he has to be helped on stage but once he sat down in front of the piano it's was like the 50s again but to me and millions of others the greatest entertainer showman will always be Elvis the king of Rock and Roll
Guitarist Joel Shoemaker is on Bass @ 2:28 - he passed away 13 years ago today, on April 1, 2006. He was a virtuoso guitarist and a good guy, he taught me how to play. RIP Joel.
Ha,ha even his hair freaking moves and once he throws that stool forget about it the crowd can't help but go nuts just too impossible!!!!😵🤣😂😜👍👍👍....................
Fucking legend. Preachers all across America in the 50s warned their followers that this man was satan. Let me tell you this, Satan could never play those keys as well as Jerry did.
Backstage at a gig, Lennon fell to the floor and kissed the rock’n’roller’s feet. The feeling wasn’t mutual: “I never did care for the Beatles all that much, to tell the truth,” Lewis later remarked.
I was at this show but can't believe it was around 34 years ago. Aussie singer Col Joye was the compere and saw Jerry Lee off the stage, and to my surprise Col performed well. It was a mixed bill. I can only remember an appearance by Mary Wilson, Ex-Supremes and I think Lesley Gore. Maybe Chuck Berry too! I guess more of the performers appear on these youtube clips. Will probably check. Trev.
yeah! It's my favourite song by my favourite artist! I was at his concert in Prague, September 2009 (in third row, only few meters from Jerry Lee - unforgettable experience) and he is still the Killer! 8)
The tapestry of Jerry's life is founded on his musical genius, which is supreme.Happy 77th birthday to you great man, to you first true rock'n'roller. We love you ! Regards from Romania ! Chris Posted on September 29, 2012
2 kings in rock n roll piano jerry lee lewis and little Richard 1 king in rock n roll guitare Chuck berry Elvis is only a good singer he is not musician he Never did intro or solo whith a guitar and when he tries to play piano it is funy. Elvis is very good For slow like the platters . But rock n roll is rythm. People Who like playing and singing or dancing rock n roll know that it is more difficult to play and sing or to dance on a jerry lee s song or little richard than an elvis song. 2 others people iunclassable fats domino and gay charles.
@@jean-christophedibatista1893 bullshit! L.Richard is not a good pianist. Mediocre! Elvis is as a singer much better as Lewis. He can rock also but Elvis is not a pianist but a damn good singer, far much better than Lewis.
Backstage at a gig, Lennon fell to the floor and kissed the rock’n’roller’s feet. The feeling wasn’t mutual: “I never did care for the Beatles all that much, to tell the truth,” Lewis later remarked.
Perhaps never a better illustration of the difference between Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Had Presley have performed here in Melbourne Australia, do you think he would have required a huge support act? I mean how much higher do you think Elvis' name would have appeared above people like Jerry Lee, The Everly Brothers and Chuck Berry? As good as they were, they were not in Elvis' league.
Having a support act would be the choice of the promoter, not the act. As for Chuck Berry, he had more talent than Elvis ever had. He wrote most of his own songs... and Elvis wrote nothing decent..... he had a short career and disappeared when the Beatles hit America.
John Hylton I used the word required, who chooses the support act has bugger all to do with it however, you really think when a performer like Presley is involved, the promotor tells him who his support act will be? My point was regarding drawing power, who do you reckon would draw more people? Presley or Chuck Berry? Presley hardly disappeared after the Beatles arrived, he still holds records for attendances to his shows in the '70s. Try to stick to facts and try to stay on subject.
hirdy6 Just sticking to the facts like you suggested. Fact 1. Elvis was dead. Fact 2. Elvis never performed outside the USA. Fact 3. Elvis watched all the contemporary black performers and copied them. Fact 4. in 1989 all these performers were well past their prime anyway...and probably couldn't have performed for 2 hrs. Elvis is dead dude.. Get over it!
Col Joye, Lesley Gore, Chuck Berry, The Everley Brothers, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis. Big show, I went to the one in Brisbane in 1989, kicked off about 7.30pm out about 12.15am.
vous étiez l'idole de mes frères qui avaient tous vos disques et même recharchaient ceux qu'ils n'avaitent peu acheter merci à vous dommage qui'ls n'est pu vous voir en france
NOBODY - TOUCHES or comes close - to this LEGENDARY performance! GO JERRY LEE!
Absolutely
In my humble opinion, the best rock n roll pianist that's ever lived.
Humble mais juste
Oh yeah , the greatest !
so little richard
That's fact not opinion brother.
@Frank Filthyfinger doubt it you imbecile

One word...... the killer is the best.... the best pianist, the best rocker, the best showman....

Didnt know joel passed away..
Yes, a great guy. I got to know him on UK tours in the 80s, and stayed at his home in 2005 (sadly he was in poor health by then).
He's the only artist that is still alive that recorded at Sun Studio, 2017 long live The Killer
RIP Jerry you left us all some terrific memories. No one played like Jerry Lee,
Jerry Lee Lewis may have his own personal demons (like WHO doesn't) but I still get the tingles whenever I hear this legend sing.
Ha,ha even his hair freaking moves and once he throws that stool forget about it the crowd can't help but go nuts just too impossible!!!!😵🤣😂😜👍👍👍....................
I love Jerry he’s a living legend and can still play like this at 84
el mejor pianista del mundo Jerry Lee... q.e p d❤❤❤🎵🎶🎵👍😢⚘🇦🇷
His piano playing puts him in a class of his own ! Incredible dexterity on the keys !
Mr. Lewis in his prime. Stunning performance!
Love Jerry Lee! Magnificent as always down under! Rocking Melbourne at the Tennis Centre Melbourne Park...
Great performance by the Killer. The only surviving member of "The Million Dollar Quartet".
Too true, :) Thank you.
@@1989Melbourne yeap. The last man stand
Damn! The keyboards on fire! The real king of rock n roll!!!
Fucking legend. Preachers all across America in the 50s warned their followers that this man was satan. Let me tell you this, Satan could never play those keys as well as Jerry did.
Not dead

wild & bat shit crazy Jerry Lee at age 53.../54....still destroying. pianos ! ( and stools)
Yes but it is a bench not a stool.
Drummers sit on thrones pianists sit on benches.
Wow impresionante

They gave good value for money
How special, you got to see a pedophile perform for you. A man who married his 13 year old cousin. It's OK though, because he's White.
Rest in Peace Killer. We were so lucky to have you visit our country on many occasions here in Australia.
32 years on and the Killer is still rocking at 86. Happy birthday Jerry Lee.
UNIC , TRENCADOR I BRILLANT .....PER SEMPRE ....
They broke the mold with jerry. Never has been anyone that could play the piano like him.
He plays it different single every time! Genius
Would sounded better on a concert grand Steinway
JUST SUPERB, FANTASTIC !! ----- JOHN UK. ------ THAT'S ROCKIN ' JERRY LEE LEWIS -------
Oh my gracious fu***** God, this version is just.... Waw. *_*
RIP Jerry Lee Lewis 1935-2022😢
Just awesome!
RIP Killer always get fired up watching a rendition of Great Balls of Fire ...especially seeing it in my home town. RIP!
king rock and roll
So glad I SAW JERRY Lee IN PERSON HEAR IN jACKSONVILLE Florida I think 1975
Oh for the good times. . .talent, performance the greatest.
yeah! It's my favourite song by my favourite artist! I was at his concert in Prague, September 2009 (in third row, only few meters from Jerry Lee - unforgettable experience) and he is still the Killer! 8)

The best version of this legendary song!
2 kings in rock n roll piano jerry lee lewis and little Richard
1 king in rock n roll guitare Chuck berry
Elvis is only a good singer he is not musician he Never did intro or solo whith a guitar and when he tries to play piano it is funy. Elvis is very good For slow like the platters .
But rock n roll is rythm.
People Who like playing and singing or dancing rock n roll know that it is more difficult to play and sing or to dance on a jerry lee s song or little richard than an elvis song.
2 others people iunclassable fats domino and gay charles.
Gay charles of course
Ray charles of course
@@jean-christophedibatista1893 bullshit! L.Richard is not a good pianist. Mediocre! Elvis is as a singer much better as Lewis. He can rock also but Elvis is not a pianist but a damn good singer, far much better than Lewis.
Rock n Roll in it's purest sense.

@Fordrev Well, umm, as long as you enjoyed it!! Cheers!
Almost religious. An extraordinary entertainer
What people would of noticed after 1989 was that Jerry Lee Lewis would usually use a bridge solo in live performances.
What is a bridge solo?
@hambone9119 He's coming to Perth? Good news if he is.
RIP. . Croatia EU
Lol, yes only one Jerry Lee
Col joy, appearing at a shopping mall near you!😂😂
He is my cousin

Well, hello UA-cam police! OK lets stick with the facts! It was 1989 and Elvis couldn't draw a crowd at all...He was bloody DEAD!

All totally irrelevant to the comment I made, but thanks for stating the obvious. Fucking idiot.
Donald Duck Dunn?
what performers also performed to this concert ?
Col Joye, Lesley Gore, Chuck Berry, The Everley Brothers, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis. Big show, I went to the one in Brisbane in 1989, kicked off about 7.30pm out about 12.15am.
