5.0 out of 5 starsCarl Perkins' Finest Hour...One of the Greatest Rock n' Roll shows ever filmed!!
By Cory B. on March 3, 2007
Format: DVD
When all is said and done, this masterpiece should be hailed as one of the greatest live performances in rock n' roll history! If you are looking for the ultimate, no-nonsense, feel-good rock n' roll experience delivered by a group of legends, this DVD is your ticket to paradise! I was a high school kid in 1996 when I borrowed this video from my uncle, a long-time Carl Perkins and 50's rock fan. What I thought would be an average show by an old rocker past his prime turned out to be the most enjoyable, uplifting live performance I had ever seen. I was blown away by the joy and spirit of the music that literally jumps off the screen until you find yourself watching it over and over. This concert is more than just great music...it delivers everything that is real and right about rock n' roll in the most simple, straight forward manner. Anybody who grew up with 50's rock, the Beatles, Eric Clapton, or hot guitar playing will cherish this unforgettable rockabilly jam session.

The legendary Carl Perkins is one of the often overlooked singer-songwriter-guitar players of 50's rock n' roll who wrote and recorded the immortal rock standard "Blue Suede Shoes" in 1956 before a car crash stopped the momentum of his career right as it was taking off. Recorded in London in October 1985, this performance clearly shows Perkins was in the same talent league as his better-known contemporaries such as Chuck Berry and Elvis. Carl's country-rock vocal delivery and trademark rockabilly guitar licks are more potent here at age 53 than they were in his younger days.

The real beauty of this concert is the almost magical effect that Carl's presence had on all his famous guests.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant
By S J Buck on August 17, 2007
Format: DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsRock Your Blue Suede Shoes Or Your Beatle Boots Off
By BeatleBangs1964 VINE VOICE on February 4, 2007
Format: DVD
As an inveterate, avid, intense Beatle fan, I was thoroughly delighted with this dvd! Hats off to Carl Perkins not only for being a driving force during the inception of Rock & Roll, but for influencing George Harrison! George Harrison ROCKED! He tore the place up with his guitar playing! If you think he sounded phenomenal on this dvd, be sure to listen to "Beatles Live at the BBC" and George's guitar playing sets the place on fire! Check him out on "Youngblood!"

Although the transfer ain't great, the music and the artists are. Ringo keeps a steady beat and his former bandmate, the nonpareil George Harrison will have you rockin' your blue suede shoes or your Beatle boots off! His revival of his 1965 cover of "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" brought many smiles to many faces. Gear up that 1963 Ford Falcon and take a trip to 1965 with George!

If you love Rock & Roll, the Blues and some EXCEPTIONAL guitar playing, this is the dvd for you. It is just plain fun and you will find yourself singing along with it and don't be surprised if you find you've started dancing!

2.0 out of 5 starsBlue Suede Shoes: A Rockabilly Session
By wrak53 on October 7, 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The music performances here are first-rate, as is the cool factor of having all these incredible artists paying tribute to one of the greats who helped form their musical identities. The sound is mostly first-rate as well, marred only by some muddy-sounding drums and some vocals that could be louder.

But what caused me to give this two stars is the video quality, which was obviously copied from somebody's VHS tape. And not even a first generation copy. Simply put, the video quality is awful. This artist (Carl Perkins) and his guests deserve a whole lot more respect than they were given here by the greedy bastard who couldn't or wouldn't secure the rights to the original tapes. I can't believe no one commented on this in their reviews. Had I known, I wouldn't have spent my money on this travesty.
