Outstanding topline 60's stars that continue to shine. July 5, 2010
Mr. D. Bradley
If you grew up in the 60's as I did, then you could not fail to enjoy this DVD. I watched the original TV programme and recorded it onto "video". I superb line up of top talent, musicions that are in a class of thier own. A high quality recording that I will view regularly.

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.

This is a non stop trip of rockin' tunes that will keep you foot tappin' all the way through from start to finish, an absolute joy to listen to. If you are like me, getting near the pension, or younger, you are going to love this DVD, all classic songs played by a group of musicians having a good time. What more could you ask for? Perkins, Clapton, Harrison, Edmunds, Star, all on the same stage! go on, have it you won't be disappointed, honest.

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.
