say what you will about his kitschyness, he was an amazing pianist, and the half measure of random overdrive at 1:42 was a rocking as it was revolutionary!
THANK YOU ...showmanlee. I don't know how you do it. Where do you come up with these GREAT TV guest spots from the 50's & 60's? I'm a professional entertainer today because of "Mr. Showmanship" ... and I so appreciate these wonderful performances by my inspiration ... LIBERACE !
I wanted to take rifle shooting lessons as a kid so my parents made me take piano. My sisters could play a bit but I never got much past Mary had a little lamb. I love this song and was listening to different versions. I saw this and wondered how anyone could play this on a piano. Now my favorite is still the John Wilson Orchestra version but DAMN! This is nothing but pure genius. Now I have to dig through more Liberace videos.
Amazing......He makes it look so easy,yet this must've taken years to be able to play like this...Not so sure though about his later caricature tinsel town ventures.....even though it brought him great wealth...

Consummate showman and musician. God bless his memory.
Rare performance without the candleabra. I have his piano arrangement and have performed it a couple of times. :-) G!
D. Gonz. Couldn't have candelabra in. this performance as when the curtain is pulled it would be blocking view of some of the choir.
WOW !
We had the piano roll of Liberace performing "Slaughter on 10th Avenue," and it is the quintessential rendition.
Beautifully played! One of my favorites from “ Words and Music.” Thank you Rodgers & Hart! 👏👍♥️
It originated in the Broadway musical 'On Your Toes'.
Amazing !
Liberace and Ronson would have brought the house down together!
Wow what a track
Bravo!
That guy can play!
Has there ever been a better boogi Woogie player?
Never be another pianist like him ever!.
Genius, simply Genius!
WOW !!!!!
He didn’t need the chorus behind him! His playing is phenomenal! Bravo! 👏👍👌♥️

You have to hear him play "Flight of the Bumble Bee!
That's some improvement! The staccato at 1:42 !
He even makes a Weird sound sound GREAT! How did he do it?? What talent!
I think he had a taco for lunch . . .
Not a patch on Mick Ronson. 😊😊🤗
Heyyyy where’s his candelabra in this one?
You DON'T want to know (ouch!!!)
Jeez Louise!
