There are two movies with nearly identical titles: "Let the Good Times Roll!" (1973) and "Let the Good Times Roll" (1991). The former, a rock revival film, is not available on home video so far as I know. (Neither is "The Panic in Needle Park" from 1971, which also breaks my heart.)

The 1991 movie for sale on Amazon is about the New Orleans Jazz Festival. I ordered it here in Vancouver, thinking that it was the 1973 movie I had loved for so long. This ain't that movie; it is, however, quite entertaining in its own right. It features interviews with the founders/organizers of the Jazz Fest and many, many acts. I've never been to the Jazz Fest (been to NO exactly once) but feel I would know what to expect were I to go.

If the 1973 picture ever comes out on video, I'll let you know (I would pay $100 for it).

If the 1973 version ever comes out..Somebody please let me know! It was filmed in COBO HALL in Detroit. I was there right by the stage. I once saw it on a special on TV and saw myself. A local radio station gave away tickets..nobody was hardly there. Little Richard called for everyone to come to the stage. There were The Shirelles, Danny & the Jrs.etc. Great Memories!

It will be shown on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) on Friday, July 30, 2010 at 8 PM. It's a rare chance to see it uncut on TV!

We need the DVD of the Rock'n Roll movie - will anyone listen to our request?

Had given seller low feedback because of non-response to my question on returning it. However, it was due to seller's changed e-mail address. Seller has contacted me and is allowing me to return the unwanted item. Would like to change my feedback from poor to EXCELLENT!

When I was 15 yrs old back in 1974 I went to the movies to
see "Let the good times roll" and to this date it's the best rock and roll movie ever !A CLASSIC!

Is this the revival concert movie with Chubby Checker, Little Richard, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry and etc. If it is, it's one of the greatest concert movies ever made (though the one I'm thinking of was made in the 70's-- not 1991). If not, I've never seen it.

Is this the early 1970's concert movies (which came out after the first Woodstock movie)?
That movie-concert was great and I would love to purchase a copy of that
