The Greatest Live Show On Earth

Description

After his spectacular debut at Sun Records, Jerry Lee Lewis went through a difficult period in the late 50s. But in 1964, he rediscovered his legendary stage energy. A few months after his mythical Hamburg concert at the Star-Club, considered one of the best live albums of all time, he set the Municipal Auditorium in Birmingham ablaze in front of 15,000 fans. Accompanied by his American touring band, soon to be known as The Memphis Beats, Lewis delivered an incandescent show: pounding piano, raw and wild vocals, raw intensity. Comparable to the Hamburg record, The Greatest Live Show On Earth immortalizes the peak of his rock comeback, just before his successful turn towards country music.
