Format:DVD
This is one of the best music specials ever made. I remember watching on TV when it was first shown and recorded and watched it over and over and over. Below are the tracks and featured artists:
Boppin' the Blues (Carl Perkins)
Put Your Cat Clothes On (Perkins)
Honey Don't (Ringo Starr)
Matchbox (Eric Clapton)
Mean Woman Blues (Eric Clapton)
Turn Around (Carl Perkins)
Going to Jackson (Rosanne Cash)
What Kind of Girl (Cash)
Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby (George Harrison)
Your True Love (Perkins/Harrison/Edmunds)
The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise (Perkins)
Medley: (All)
Thats Alright Mama
Blue Moon of Kentucky
Night Train to Memphis
Glad all Over (All)
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On (All)
Gone All Down The Line (All)
Blue Suede Shoes (All) & Encore
To pick highlights is very difficult because its all great. But for me the rare appearance of George Harrison is an absolute treat. Eric Clapton plays some truly blistering guitar solos, that put all the other guitar players into the shade, and Carl Perkins admits as much himself.
However it is Carl Perkins who is the star of the show and its great to see him in prime form. My only reservation is the picture quality which is OK but could be a lot better.
If you like 50's Rock 'n' Roll and a hint of country than this is an absolutely essential purchase.

Format:DVD
Outstanding show featuring a stellar cast supporting the great Carl Perkins. Filmed in 1985 before a studio audience of Teds & rockers (plus Beatle wives present and past), Welsh Wizard Dave Edmunds orchestrates a worthy tribute to the king of rockabilly. Everyone looks to be having a fine old time, the stars stretching out over a bedrock groove supplied by Geraint Watkins, John David and Mickey Gee. Buy this DVD and give yourself a treat.

Format:DVD
Quite simply one of the best live recordings ever made. Wonderful "rockabilly" and "rock 'n roll" songs, brilliantly played in a low key show that's packed full of the enthusiasm that only live music can generate. Eric Clapton, George Harrison & Ringo Starr do much more than just turn out to add megastar interest as they're quickly swept up by the electric atmosphere of the evening and, along with Dave Edmunds, Rosanne Cash and a host of others, become part of a hugely talented backing group who are clearly having the time of their lives playing along with a rock legend on top form. Carl Perkins signs off after the final, spine-tingling rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes" with tears of sheer joy streaming down his face - music doesn't get more "real" or exciting than this.

As you'd expect from such a stellar line-up this performance originally broadcast on TV in the 1980s is brilliant. Read more

Essential for a Beatles fan

Outstanding topline 60's stars that continue to shine.
