One of the highlights of my 30 career as Takent Buyer/ Promoter was playing Carl Perkins in my 1st job. He put on a great show with the same energy as seen here.
The amount of talent in this clip is staggering. You have 2 Beatles, 2 members of the Stray Cats, Clapton, Roseann Cash and the legendary Carl Perkins the father of rockabilly. WOW!!
I think the guy to the right of George is Dave Edmunds. Another fan of Perkins and a lover of rockabilly.
Dont forget Dave Edmunds
Dave Edmunds as well
Not to forget Dave Edmunds
Lord it must have been a great day to be alive...
George idolized and emulated Perkins, this had to be a dream come true for him to play with Perkins on stage. His smile was beaming.
You know you're a legend when George Harrison and Eric Clapton look at you star struck. Carl Perkins is the entertainment to entertainers
This crowd would play all night for nothin' but the love of the "sport," an' the thrill of "pickin' together."
Pay attention, youngsters.
The Beatles loved Elvis Presley too
I've never seen George Harrison smile so much and look at Carl Perkins like a school kid!! That was a treat!!
Clapton's looking at Carl is also full of respect and admiration. Amazing footage.
I LOVE love love George Harrison's excitement to be on stage with Carl Perkins it is so so so much fun to watch!!!TRULY a concert filled with respect for the great Carl Perkins
@@slightlycrafty Carl's style represents George's "first love" with guitar playing. Carl Perkins was to George's generation as George and Clapton are to me.
it is
I think so too, because he was certainly a fan of carl, because he did not know that he will be a Beatle.
George played those notes to "That's Alright", almost verbatim to the way Scotty played it. This performance proves that George was a serious student of Scotty and Carl both. I never get tired of watching this.
VERBATIM NOTE PER NOTE...LOVED THAT
Muito feras estes musicos
Scotty?
Loved watching George nail that.
@@extanegautham8950Scotty Moore
George looks at Carl like we all looked at George ❤💙
Double Down on That.
Clapton's watching both....
George Harrison was a bad ass guitarist, don't care what anyone says.
@@ericdee6802 good, cause no one fucking cares what you think aswell
@@ericdee6802 you mean badass guitarist or bad guitarist?
Lord, have you ever seen George Harrison so happy about anything?
Reminds me of Dhani Harrison, when Prince comes on stage during George's memorial.
Great music, by even greater musicians! Rock and Roll will stand man, if I'm a lying I'm a dying!
George Harrison was such an underrated guitar player! May his soul be blessed for eternity!
Who underrated him?
Not me!
Why do people think they're being ' hip and cool' when they say..... 'so and so (insert name of extremely famous and talented musician) is underrated?
George was a fucking Beatle for God's sake, wasn't underrated by anyone, he was reveared, loved and worshipped by millions the world over
@@davidmellish3295 Spot on!
And Dave Edmonds
The mutual affection between Carl and George hits me every time I watch this clip.....May they both RIP
They are now playing for the Lord.
@@Ronald-xv9lw Amen, Brother!
No computers.No voice machines.No smoke machines and lazers.Just world class pure rock n roll music by people who know how to play it!!
George's face is a picture. After all he'd been through, the most famous of the famous. This was still a dream come true. He still had that kid in a candy shop feeling
Younger generations don't understand what a great guitarist and song writer Carl Perkins was. If you are a learning guitarist, you must learn about Carl Perkins.
King of Rockabilly...Native Tennessean.
Carl was a stud
Baptizing some Brits
But he never got the recognition he deserved. He was great, great great.
К.Перкинс неподражаем - КАКАЯ МОЩЬ ТАЛАНТА, ДРАЙВА, МУЖСКОЙ СИЛЫ-- ПРЯМО ВЫПЛЕСКИВАЕТСЯ на ВСЕХ!❤😊😅Помню его с детства...
I love it when Eric Clapton is playing and Carl Perkins shouts out “This is rock-n-roll school children!”
MUSIC!!!!!!!!!
Eric was the smoothest guitarist in this performance lets be honest.
@@MitchClement-il6iqEric is looking at Carl Perkins like he is his hero and I don’t blame him. Eric is the best guitar player but he ain’t no Carl Perkins.
I think George is having the time of his life. Perkins was his idol.
Clapton looks a bit awe struck too.
BigBadBosco George was definitely having the time of his life! I didn't know Carl Perkins was his idol, but you could sure tell he was looking up to him here!!
@@lovetheobscurities I agree, Clapton was certainly loving it!!
got to see Carl in 81 with his boys on a soundstage WhooP!
Just Fantastic!!!!!!😎
Super classy of George when Carl said he couldn't remember the lyrics, he started the song and jogged Carl's memory. You can tell he was a true fan, knowing all the words and licks.
My favorite of the whole clip!! I bought the live at the bbc album when it came out and wore out several copies since 😅 but Glad All Over was such a favorite so to see that moment here..soooo sweet 💛 happy George had that moment with his idol
Brilliant
Carl Perkins had an incredible stage presence. What a talent.
I'm still listening in 2024
George Harrison was looking at Carl Perkins like " wow , I am on stage playing with Carl Perkins . hot dam. George's smile could light up the universe
Paul McCartney said of Carl Perkins “ If there were no Carl Perkins , there would have been no Beatles “
George Harrison radiates beauty. What a lovely man.
I spent time at Reelfoot Lake in Lake County.Carl 's hometown.
'A lovely man' is exactly how McCartney described him & he certainly was. A true gentleman in every sense of the word, I doubt he spoke ill of anyone throughout his whole life. RIP, Gentleman George Harrison.
Looks better clean shaven. How Ringo can sit near him shows what a forgiving guy Ringo has been. I can not stand the thought of what he did to Ringo. Neither could crude John, appalled when he heard about it.
@@thomaspick4123 ???
George sleeping with Ringo’s wife is what he’s referring too
See kids, this is what happens when Real Musicians come together.
No auto tune, no overdubbing, no nuthin but TALENT 😎🕺👏👏
@@shirleymuhleisen683 Exactly!
Yessssir!
Well said!
Fuck yeah!!! Awesome!
Nice to see 14 year old George having a good time.
Anytime George takes a high harmony it’s a treat.
You can feel by george"s eyes that he's totally in so much joy playing on stage with his teacher. Carl is George's biggest influence even his playing style is so "Carl"
As incredible as the Beatles were, they were just extending the great music of their youth like Carl's in new directions. Can never be bettered.
Carl Perkins one of the greats, what he could do with that guitar. Loved his music.
No wonder Tom Petty loved Carl Perkins!
But he never taught him to read music.😂
Imagine what it must have been when George and the Beatles first met their hero (in 1964 ?)...they were on a rollercoaster ride but must have been in awe of this guy who had in effect "gone nowhere" after the initial success. 5 years back they were poor kids in Liverpool scrambling to get their hands on his records !
Those cats can ROLL! Look at how all those big name Stars gaze at Carl, like a god! My dad turned me onto Carl Perkins in 1986 at the age of 10, and it’s been nonstop ever since!
Perkins, Harrison, Clapton...Legends. How can anyone dislike this????
People with different music taste and opinion?
people with different music taste should at least recognize how incredible this is and don't press the dislike button.
@@yangerjamir0906 they believe in Justine bieber
@@tatwamasi1000 I give thumbs down to any music video that does not celebrate the great Justin Bieber.
If it's not their genre why listen. They are not musicians if they dislike this. Any musician worth his salt would see the merit in what was done here.
Nobody is having more fun than George Harrison! Love it.
More than Clapton. That scowl'd curdle milk.
Carl was George's idle. I would feel the same way if I got a chance to play with Jimmy Page.
George is enjoying the hell out of himself
Amazing, especially considering that the show was his first performance in about ten years and he was terrified.
during the Beatles first tour of Scotland, in 1960, Harrison used the pseudonym "Carl Harrison", in reference to Carl Perkins
This is great! George is so in his element here and his playing is spot on!! 👌
Carl was underestimated. A real legend.
@David Thomas Yep! Just like George!
He was real.
you are correct.
@@nancybrady9781 l'a dit
Agreed --Carl missed out on the fame that elvis had ...
At 3.51 George looks back at Ringo, both with the biggest smiles. How touching!
I literally cried my eyes out watching this because there were no more worlds to conquer. This is perfect. Lot’s going on. First, George Harrison’s eyes are connected with those of Carl Perkins as if to ask “Father, did I do well?” as he plays lead guitar. Eric Clapton, perhaps the greatest at his craft of all time, simply admiring Perkins. Rosanne Cash, daughter of Johnny, singing background. Rings Star on the tambourine. Love this!
@Greg Bromberg Clapton as usual has nothing much to say, tinny Strat sound and he doesn't look like he's having any fun. Totally over-rated.
@Frank Lopez We all have our opinions.🤷
Saw Eric Clapton having a shit between two parked cars in Eccles once. Off his nut on booze and drugs, there was a marijuana needle on the ground beside him
Agree that clapton is overated, and defintely not the best of all time, hendrix, beck , gilmore just 3 who were better for a start, clapton puts to much thought into his playing sometimes overplaying
Watch "Mean Woman Blues" with Clapton and Carl Perkins, Eric looked and played enthusiastic with Carl Perkins and Carl was amazed with Eric's performance. I understand the flaws of 70's and 80's Eric Clapton but also realize he was probably drunk here and he didn't get totally clean and sober until November of 1987. Like Stevie Ray Vaughan after he got sober, he and Clapton were at their peak after they got clean and sober!! In short, Clapton is god!!!
Harrison just killed it here, both on guitar and vocally. RIP George and Carl
man what a fucking P R O
jeffgoblue-Harri sure did!:)
I think those on stage who knew George were probably as shocked as the rest of us with his enthusiasm!
the sound of that guitar!
Geroge Harisson is allways on our hearts. Great player and singer!!
George is FANTASTIC. And I love how he’s aware to move his guitar out of the shot when Eric begins his solo.
George always seemed to be aware of which camera was showing him, idk how lol

@@da_great_mogul Yes to that!

I hope both Carl and George are up there showing them all in heaven how to play rock music. Such a great segment.
You can see the teenager who loved rock n roll come back to George Harrison in this clip.
Cindy Klenk his stage name was Carl Harrison!
I was about to say exactly that! At that point he IS a teenager !
Your words bring a smile to my face
Exactly. George comes full circle here. He loved playing with great musicians, and you see the absolute joy on his face playing with his peers...and his heroes.
Nothing makes me happier than to see my idols be in the presence of their idols. That kind of joy was so authentic and I’m so glad this is up for us to enjoy. Music truly is the greatest gift.
George Harrison was one the greatest rockabilly guitarplayers of all time. What a swing he had!
George's smile makes me smile😅
When your 72yrs old like me you'll look back on this with a smile. Fantastic ☺️
Hello Diane. Sorry for intruding your privacy, I just want to know if you’re a fan?
😁😂🤣😂😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Мне 73г. ❤😅
73 year old from New Zealand. A long time Beatles fan. Carl was such an inspiration to George.
What George did with The Beatles was only the beginning. He was forever in the shadows of the Lennon/McCartney juggernought of Lennon/McCartney . . .
BUT OH BOY . . . just look what he did post The Beatles.
I remember Elvis referring to the song "Something" as "the greatest love song ever written, without actually saying "I love you"
I did not realize how much I loved George Harrisons work; that guy was the best.
So cool to see the pure joy on George's face
George looked soooo happy. This music was his sweet spot.
Jeez....Carl Perking is a fountain of energy. I've never seen anything like it! His musical joy spills over to the other musicians on the stage. I mean, look at them. They are having a ball!
Jeez Carl perking is a fountain of energy. I've never seen anything like it's his musical Joy spills over to te other musicians on Theo stage. I mean, look até tem. Theo are having a ball!
I believe Carl Perkins was the first true Rock and roller musician😊
Chuck berry maybe
Professional jam session where no one's trying to show anyone up. Just a good time between friends.
Ringo has never changed, he always looks to have fun and not to be to serious
He is absolutely drunk as hell here.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Of all the coolness that is going on here, George Harrison singing Glad All Over some 32 years after the Beatles performance of the song for BBC radio is completely awesome! And yes he remembered the words. Of course the reunion of Carl and Eric after they appeared on the Johnny Cash show in 1970 is fantastic. So much greatness!
That dude was slappin that bass like he was goin to Memphis!
I love Carl Perkins, not only a gifted player, singer, performer, and song writer, but a sweet, sweet , spirit, I look forward to meeting you in heaven Carl.
Lee Rocker from the Stray Cats
Oder alle in der Hölle...😮Har,har
Carl Perkins was one hell of a talent, and never got the acclaim that he should have, but he was highly respected by other musicians. Superb.
Carl was on his way to stardom when he had a aweful wreck that killed his brother and changed his life forever.Elvis recorded/stole blue suede shoes while he was laid up in the hospital recovering from that wreck.His career never recovered the momentum it had prior to it.The rest they say is history.
@@jimmyhenley8100 You are correct sir. Sam Phillips knew he could not keep The King. He got I think $35K from RCA. Better than nothing. He was the biggest act in the world. But he thought with Carl he had sumthin which he did. Carl could sing, play and write his own songs. Elvis to be honest sang and was the most charismatic act on the planet. Still Sam thought he could get behind Carl. Nuthin was gonna replace the King but Carl was going to be a huge star too. Then the wreck. Carl became an alky. John R. who suggested the title Blue Suede Shoes saw the fix Carl was in, invited him to join his band and brought Carl back. John always called Carl "Rock King!!"
Glad all over, they sure were
＂
1000%
Yeah! George is over the moon. I don’t know why it’s so hard to find tv shows willing to broadcast true live performances. This one’s so fantastic!
Everything is about Rap now and they can't do live.
Alleluia alleee
They do in England, a place where originality is paramount. US audiences are in the dark because profit is more important than artistry.
Don’t hold your breath. It’s not ever going to get better.
Real musicians 👌🎼🎸
A Wilbury of sorts. Yes. Carl Wilbury.
Carl Perkins was the most under-appreciated musician in our lifetime.
Close, Bobby Whitlock is
Anyone who knows Rock and Roll knows Carl Perkins. He’s there at the top of the family tree.
I do agree with you sir.
agreed
No he wasn't! For god sakes why do people always say that s***?? it should be illegal to say the word" underappreciated "anymore on UA-cam!! Carl Perkins was always well respected!
warms my heart to see george and ringo living together this iconic moment... they must had been incredibly happy :')
Carl Perkins voice is just amazing
He was rock n roll even before Elvis
The crowd yelled for Carl Perkins when Elvis pranced onto the stage.
This is joy undiluted. The power of music. Even the sometimes glum Clapton is energized. And George Harrison (as others have already said) looks like a teenager, the years stripped away with his delight in the music and his love for the great Carl Perkins (himself a modest man of staggering talent).
Music is supposed to be fun.
Music is supposed to be like this.
The greatness of rock n roll, white melody combined with black rhythm, the perfect yin and yang. Full fruition of music.
YES!!!!
That's right!
Music is supposed to express feeling. It doesn't have to be "fun". Honestly, I think the best music I've ever heard makes me cry rather than smile.
yes
My family and I had the privilege and honor of not only visiting Graceland in Memphis, but also being able to visit Sun studios where it all started. Plus my parents used to listen to Johnny Cash when I was young. What a wonderful meeting of such legends as these people were.
Anyone else notice George move his guitar so the camera could see Clapton play I fkn love this video
Also helps us guitarists to watch and learn Clapton's solo.
They had so much love !
The over rated prick was drugged up, no respect for Perkins or Harrison, selfish fraud, I used to be a fan... Not anymore
@@justinrippon2218 what?
@@justinrippon2218 So you slander the man and never respond... I don’t have much respect for you tbh
George Harrison is a proper force of nature here! What a sound they all get!
Just found this gem. Wow! WOw! WOW!
George Harrison talked of the great influence Carl Perkins had on him. The look on George's face tells it all.
Carl Perkins and Carl Harrison played on this one....
seeing george so visibly happy to be playing with one of his biggest influences puts the biggest smile on my face. he was probably so stoked
Ok. This clip is historic. Carl Perkins, George Harrison (who snagged/developed Carl’s licks to make his own sound), Eric who played with Carl during a Derek & the Dominos set on the Johnny Cash Show (UA-cam it), Dave Edmunds, Ringo, cats from the Stray Cats, & Rosanne Cash. The joy on their faces says it all! And George in awe, having the time off his life, looking at Carl for Daddy’s approval. And he got it! Thx for the upload!

@@dougdeath2333 I agree! I love it!
Carl Perkins, un chingon nunca reconocido......
Yeah! To see George that happy before he checked out made it that much more special !One of Carl's last hara! Their is a GOD !
Carl Perkins is George’s musical hero. You could see how much he’s enjoying jamming with Perkins.
True Rock n' Roll!
Bunch of Brits and Americans jamming to great American music.
Born in the Blues, peppered with country, amazing baby.....rock and roll.
Bless, one of the best Carl Perkins and crew.

There's nothing like seeing your idols geek out in their idols! This is precious!
George is acting like the same way I do when I watch him...😁
Carl perkins was flat out amazing . One thing very noticeable watching this old rock is just how much fun it was . Fantastic thank you .
Harrison looks like a kid in a candy store. It's so cool to see someone who was, unarguably, one of the most influential musicians EVER, look up to their idol. Just goes to show how important Carl Perkins was. I've read all of the Beatles say, "if it weren't for Carl Perkins, there would have never been the Beatles." Thank God for Perkins and thank the Good Lord for the Beatles...
"Harrison looks like a kid in a candy store."
Beautifully said!!!
George Harrison probably remembered and cherished this moment for the rest of his life
George Harrison is having a blast!
I have yet to see him express that much joy in any of his guitar solos with the Beatles.
Its obvious he's playing here, what made him wanna be a Rock Star!
Carl and George, jammin' just like this, on the other side.
Ain't nobody in that room is having as much fun as George! He is in Seventh Heaven!
Look how much fun George is having! This was a tough era for him he was basically in hiding (I don’t blame him), and this seemed to life his spirits.
George is re-living those early Beatles days singing Glad All Over. What a band!! Harrison- Ringo- Clapton-Slim Jim- Lee Rocker-Edmunds
You can see the joy in George Harrison's face playing with one of his heroes.... More than anyone else....
Cute.😀 God Bless.
I thought Eric C was almost too cool. Dave Edmonds was pure adrenalin. Great memory there, even with an overload of regular progression Rock songs. Everybody could play every one after one verse. Love it.
Boys still in their prime having pure fun
Carl Perkins was a very humble person because of the way he was raised. I heard him say in an interview that he worked on the fields as a laborer. When the day was almost over in the evening, a black lady would start singing and that was the best part of the day. RIP I which there was more people like you.
Carl Perkins is a very talented man.
MR CARL PERKINS WAS ONE COOL CAT. 👍 T....🏴 Regards from ENGLAND.
The "quiet one" is having the time of his life.
Amen!😀 God Bless.
You could really see George light up in this collaboration. He was always over-shadowed with the Beatles.
@@elisabethrio6498 I know. He Always Admired Carl Perkins. Yes, He's Very
Talented. One Of The Best Guitar Players. I Sure Miss This Gentle Soul.
Rest In Peace, Spiritual Angel. 🕯🕊. God Bless. ☮
This was so freaking cool! I can't believe I hadn't seen it before. George is having the time of his life. Awesome x 1000! Perkins was jamming!😎👍👏👏👏
George got the label 'the quiet one' during one if not the Beatles first US tours. He had or was bordering on laryngitis and was unusually taciturn. Anyone that knows him know he is not like that at all. But why ruin a good American misconception?!
A beautiful tribute from George to Carl, his major influence. George had a great voice, too. He was the complete package. Still is.
THiS is what TRUE talent looks like. NOt the crap that comes out of modern music today. THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL.
Carl Perkins; one of the Founding Fathers of Rock n' Roll..
Paul once said, "Without Perkins, there would be no Beatles", such was his influence on them.
The Fab Four covered more Carl Perkins songs than any other artist . . . I think 7.

George looks like a wee boy in a sweetie shop, singing with his idol, lots of love to george
One of my absolute favorite items on UA-cam
Music today needs this... Talent, coming together with no egos, no script, just pure enjoyment of creating music together.... Fun... It needs to be fun again
Carl Perkins first heard Elvis singing Blue Moon of Kentucky on the radio, if only Elvis could have joined in with these greats back in 1985!
Actually, I'm glad the focus was on Carl. He deserved the recognition and would have only been a cast member with Elvis in the picture. All eyes would have been on him.
George was so proud to be singing and playing with Carl Perkins. He attended Carl's funeral in Jackson TN
George adored and admired Carl Perkins. You can see the joy in his eyes. This must have been a real dream come true for him. RIP George and Carl.
Carl was there at the birth of rock n roll and rockabilly and his contribution to the emerging genre was priceless. RIP
Harrisons guitar tone is brilliant.
Video proving that George Harrison was the best guitarist in the Beatles. RIP, George, and thank you for sharing your awesome talent with the world.
It was clear to most that George was a very good guitarist long before this gig. Like 20 years before.
Was it ever a question whether George was the best guitarist in the Beatles?
@@larryheller6963, never a question in my mind.
@@larryheller6963 I think you're correct but don't overlook Lennon when it comes to guitar. Mccartney was a great bassist. Ringo was a very accomplished percussionist. The stars aligned....
Of course he was.....Lennon was brilliant but he was a guitar hack.....Point in case...when he screams out in the Get Back sessions...." I got blisters on my fingers"....know who gets blisters..? beginners and people that shoot thier mouth of more than they play guitar......any guitar player or bassist will tell ya.....they have callouses that are like rocks on your finger tips
That is 7 plus minutes of my life I will never get back and will have to do again
Carl Perkins is a one of rock&rolls creators. He sounds well even after many years... Thank you, Carl.
Gennadiy Plyushko I liked his music from the start but liked him more as time passed. He had a great voice and could sure rock that guitar of his.
Wow! Did Carl just say"this is rock n roll school? " The best!!!! Hallelujah!!!
So proud George stayed super close friends with Eric despite turmoils.
ive never seen George so totally happy as he is here. THRILLING 👍🏽
💎💚💜🎶💜💚💎
They referred to one another as "husbands-in-law".
Carl was such a talented guitarist and never got enough recognition
He left us way too soon
I'm so sad that George is not alive anymore. That still moves me today.
Very much the same for me here. It is the same with Lennon.
@@CHlEFFIN Yes John's death moved me a lot back then. Couldn't believe it when I heard the news on the radio. ´´John Lennon killed in NewYork´´
This is pure happiness
George is so underrated
Evelio Herrera best beatle bye far
No. He's not. Anyone who knows a little about him KNOWS that he's awesome. He's NOT underrated at all.
For real the truth has been spoken. At 15 yrs old the Beatles themselves knew George Harrison was the real deal. When asked for an audition he promply mounted a tour bus and schooled Lennon and McCartney on how to play lead guitar on a summer night in 1958. Made them believers so fast they hired a fifteen year old ON THE SPOT. 15 YEARS OLD!!! Lennon only knew banjo chords and Macca couldnt play lead guitar.......Yet. George could, with authority. Your hired!!!
By who? lol
@@danhill9952 Paul didn't get schooled on the bus. Paul knew George was a better lead guitarist and brought him to John to be auditioned. Paul already knew how great George was.
Mutual respect society between George and Carl. George is having the time of his life. Fabulous upbeat music.
