Jerry Lee Lewis Live at the Star-Club, Hamburg Poll Take 2

Ha, exactly

I, um, “wasted” my vote on the winner

This is part and parcel with Johnny Cash's prison albums - no nonsense production, no trendy strings, backup singers, etc that appear on their studio work. Just straight to the heart of great, great songs. I wish there were more live albums like this from 50s icons.

Tiger Man by Elvis is fantastic and worth seeking out. It's the comeback special, the part when they sat in a circle and he was wearing the black leather outfit

Right, thanks for the reminder, that's definitely my favorite part of the 68 Special, which otherwise had a "Laugh-In with Elvis" feeling at times.

Want! In 2004, Elvis: '68 Comeback Special Deluxe Edition DVD was released. The three disc set contained all the known available footage of the special, outtakes included. A single-disc edition was released in 2006 with the program expanded to 94 minutes, by adding material from the outtakes to the original broadcast.[48]

Also lists the sit-down as stand-alone.

About half-way through streaming the first hour of this--despite description, it's not too much talk, there's a whole lotta music goin' on:
THE KILLER, THE THRILLER & THE CHILLER: JERRY LEE LEWIS WITH SISTERS LINDA GAIL AND FRANKIE JEAN
May 2nd, 2018
From small town Louisiana to Memphis, from hellfire to honky tonk, we trace the meteoric rise, fall and rebound of rocknroll’s most wayward son—Jerry Lee Lewis. We talk to the Killer about his hits, his misses and being the last man standing of the “Million Dollar Quartet,” which also included Elvis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. Jerry Lee’s sister Frankie Jean Lewis, a.k.a. the Chiller, gives us a tour of the family’s homestead in Ferriday, LA. Natchez, MS bluesman Hezekiah Early shares memories of Haney’s Big House, the Chitlin’ Circuit nightclub where underage Jerry Lee sneaked in to hear boogie woogie. Drummer J.M. Van Eaton describes what it was like to record with the Killer during his early Memphis days. Sun Records publicist Barbara Sims recalls the scandal that derailed the pianoman’s career. And Linda Gail Lewis, nicknamed the Thriller, tells of her brother’s second act as a country star and the string of duets they recorded together, as well as her own career as a pianist and dueting with Van Morrison. Plus, we hear Jerry Lee Lewis’s collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton and Gillian Welch, among others. All killer, no filler, this week on American Routes.

Btw, while I have the attention of the, um #9 rockabilly fans of ilx, I highly recommend the out-of-print bio of another artist, Go, Cat, Go: The Life and Times of Carl Perkins, the King of Rockabilly, by David McGee. Really brings back the era, captures Carl's way of speaking, and the cameos by other artists are good as well, iirc.

Etta James Rocks the House (1964) has a similar kind of intensity; she also does "Money" and "What'd I Say" in that set
