Review: This is simply one of, if not the best music videos ever. On one stage you have Carl, George Harrison, Clapton, Dave Edmunds, Ringo, all obviously having a great time. It's a very personal tribute to Perkins from his greatest admirers. This is one video that delivers on its promises. Carl was a huge influence on George and Ringo. A gem.To see all these guys so spontaineous and enthusiastic...

Review: This special is one night of entertainment, three big music stars, and many hit songs. If you love rockabilly you'll love this video. Carl Perkins, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Eric Clapton are sensational. It's great to see George having such a good time, as just 15 years later he would die of cancer. This is one of the truly great moments in rock and roll.

Summary: A reminder that music is supposed to be fun!
Review: This was a made-for-TV concert performed in England in 1985. I dare anybody to keep their feet still while watching this.Carl Perkins was celebrating the 30th anniversary of his song "Blue Suede Shoes", and was a master showman here. He sang and played with an infectious enthusiasm that visibly inspired his famous guests. Highlights include Perkins, Ringo Starr, and Eric Clapton sharing verses of "Matchbox", a blazing guitar solo by Clapton on "Mean Woman Blues", a humorous and impressive demontration by Perkins on how to create a fake reverb effect with a picking technique, and a wild and wooly group singalong with all the guest stars. But maybe best of all was Perkins luring George Harrison out of retirement. The show ends with a moving thank-you from Perkins to his friends and the fans. What a concept, acknowledging and thanking the fans! This video is tremendous fun with some rock legends. I recommend it as highly as any music video I've ever seen.

Summary: Carl Perkins and Friends -
Review: Truly a masterpiece. Carl Perkins truly is one of the greatest early original rock-n-roll/rock-a-billy masters. The supporting cast is truly a tribute to Carl Perkins and his influence on their music. It is one of the best dvd's I have purchased. Ranks highly with The Bands "Last Waltz", and Roy Orbison "Black and White Night". A must have for any rock fan.

Summary: Rollicking Good Time!
Review: Want to have some fun? Belly up to this rockabilly show and let the 50's ooze all over those imaginary (or not) '55 blue suedes. Spirited performances from Perkins, Ringo, George Harrison, Eric Clapton (just a tad less spirit from Eric but major league pickin' nontheless), Rosanne Cash and the cast make this video an uplifting experience. Would really like to see this with dts surround. As it is, you want to keep playing it over........and over........and over....... The audience gets into it in the end; after watching the throngs gyrate in The Bee Gees One Night Only and Tina from Amsterdam, one can't help but think this crowd has lost it's sense of particiaption. During the last three songs, however, some true rock and rollers circa 1955 take to the floor for some serious juice. Awfully good stuff! And, you're going to really love Carl and his supporting crew giving tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis and 'Whole Lota Shakin' Goin' On'. This video dates to a performance fifteen years ago. The spiked hair (Roseanne) and dated fabrics only add to the interest. Go for this one.

Review: With George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and Dave Edmunds joining Carl Perkins for some rollicking fun you know this has to be a great DVD! George is great on "Everybodys Trying to Be My Baby" and looks to be having more fun than he did with The Beatles. Ringo is great on "Honey Dont". And Eric Clapton throws in some scorching licks throughout! Carl Perkins is a terrific rockabilly pioneer and a major influence on rock and roll. Buy this DVD, put it on, turn up the volume and be prepared to have some fun!

Summary: What are you gonn'a do, it's Carl Perkins!!
Review: Yes, it's true, the picture is not DVD quality. It looks like
a transfer from VHS. But the audio is very clear. There isn't
alot of Carl Perkins video around to give us a chance to see
this true rock and roll pioneer. My only regret is the fact
that I can't get over the idea that this show was filmed in
London, England! London, England!!?? What the hell happend to
Nashville? Or Memphis? Now that, is really sorry.

Review: Yet ANOTHER GREAT DVD, that Ringo is in. The case is a little misleading, as not everybody pictured actually perform. However this is STILL a must have. George Harrison does several, including one of Carl's that Carl forgot all the words to. Carl still looks good, plays good, sings good, and still has that "good-old-boy" persona. The end of this disk made me get a little weepy-eyed. This is a piece of history, along with Roy Orbison's Black and White Night, and Ringo's All Star Band.
