Jerry Lee Lewis
Posted by: Rasher on 08 July 2004
Last night went down the road to see Jerry Lee Lewis followed by Chuck Berry.
JLL, once he had been led on by a stage-hand (God - I can't believe I'm going to these things!!) and had warmed up a bit, was awesome. He's still got some fire in there. He looked like he is in his 80's, but he's not even 70 yet! Obviously had too much fun. I just stood there and thought how important this guy is to the shaping of music as we know it (Jim). Really pleased I went.
Chuck Berry was right up for it - full-on and raunchy like he was 30. His guitar playing and sound was awful though.
JLL won the day.
The stuff of legends.
