How often do you get to see Jerry Lee, Fats, and Ray Charles in the same show? It's one of those items you just have to keep in your library of great shows.

An incredible show. All three stars in their prime. Ronnie Wood rocks out and Paul Shaffer works his but off. A real pleasure played it twice in one evening.

I was in the house the night this show was taped, and man this is it. Three legends on one stage on one night gave this once in a lifetime show that is captured beautifully in this production. Awesome.

This reunion of three lions of the rock and roll era is a true delight. The individual talents of the three are amply showcased, and the synergy of their collaboration is fantastic. Made me want to jump up and dance right there in front of the television.

The gathering of Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles at the famed Storyville Club in New Orleans is a show not to be missed. Paul Schaffer of the Letterman show holds the music together and makes sure the best of all involved is brought forth. Each artist takes a turn at doing a solo set, backed up by their own bands, and then the three come together for some fabulous group music, backed up by Schaffer and band. This took place during the mid 1980's, and each artist was is top form at the time. Surely, a must have music DVD.

It don't get any better then this. I'm glad I bought this DVD, I watch it over & over, I'll never get tired watchin these 3 together in action. If ya liked the Highwaymen, you'll love this. Buy this DVD you won't regret it, I promise ya. It will chill ya to the bones.

Everyone should have this in there collection.A rare chance to own a unique performance of three greats.The performance itself is worth having but you also get some bonus material of the three artists pre gig jamming and planning.Jerry lee is worth watching in that section as he plays some great piano.

Rarely has so much talent performed together at one time in one place as did Fats, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ron Woods, Paul Shaffer, and Harold Cowart. The result was one of the most exciting can't-sit-still performances ever captured on tape.

One word Fats Domino makes this worthwhile alone. Fat's is a classic and on this DVD shows why. There are a few other DVD's with the Fat man and you need to buy them also, in fact, they are much longer.

Will not be another like him again. He is simply the best at what he does. On top of that, he a great guy also, never toots his own horn; he lets the music do the talking.

I had the pleasure of seeing him 4 times in my life, the first time I purchased a ticket just do something that evening with my wife and friends, I was 26 in 1977 and expected little, what a night it was, my jaw hit the floor and he played for over two hours. I wish I could enjoy him one more time in person, if not, well I got my DVD's of him in concert to remember him by.

What a magnificent D.V.D.I have been trying to aquire a copy of this particular D.V.D for years. I have been a Jerry Lee Lewis fan for 5o years. Once I aquired the D.V.D called "Last Man Standing" I had to get Fats & Friends as well. I truely reccommend this D.V.D.It's magnificent in all its splendour.
