No wonder I could NEVER find this particular video on youtube after spending significant time looking for it. It is mislabelled. This is Ramblin boogie, not Rocket 88. Either way. Found it again! Awesome -- the best version of this song on youtube. Thanks!
There is no way to settle the argument over what the first rock and roll record was but "Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats (actually Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm) is certainly in the running. It bears no resemblance to the song played by Mike Sanchez.
Just FYI, great song and you should listen to the original by Brenston & the Delta Cats, with Ike Turner, from I think it was 1951. Just type "Rocket 88" in the search bar and you should see it.
I like Sanchez. That's All Right (Mama)" is the 1st Rock & Roll song. ("Rocket '88" rocks out, but is a fast shuffle blues. Rock is 2/4 time) Based on that (and much more) Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (Crew'-duhp) who first began doing his music that way is (if any one-only can be named such) the actual "Father of Rock. What sucks is: Arthur NEVER was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, under 'Influences', even though so MANY he influenced in one way or another have been! And he never got a royalty
After all that listening, the drummer comes in PUSHING IT. Sorry, but it's trying to roll like square wheels. Piano man's good. I'm an old drummer AND piano player who knows what he's talkin' about..
What a player and what a great stage performer. Can't fail to be moving your hands and feet whilst he plays.
A master! And what a funny man! And what a band!!

He looks like he's having a blast!
GREAT! Very interesting performance.
Great musicianship and a great beat - however they aren't performing "Rocket 88" in this clip, certainly not any version of it I've heard before.

You should be ashamed
