Kuvaus
A howling beast of an album, with Jerry Lee (backed by The Nashville Teens) on world-conquering form playing to a feral crowd of liquored-up Hamburg rockers on April 5, 1964. Live LPs rarely capture a tenth of the excitement in the room, but this superbly recorded slice of mayhem preserves all the guts and glory of a vintage night on the Reeperbahn when The Killer ruled the street. Mersey Beat might have been the new sound in the charts, but as the original rock ’n’ roll bad boy said elsewhere after torching his piano, ”I’d like to see any goddam son of a bitch follow that.” –MOJO Magazine, October 2011
