Boogie Live
It’s Friday and I feel the need…the need to boogie!!!
This session was filmed live at Storyville Hall in New Orleans, June 5, 1986, and features Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis. That’s Late Night’s musical director, Paul Shaffer (with hair!) running things and Ron Wood on guitar. And if you look closely, I think you’ll spot Carl Perkins on guitar, drummer Steve Jordan and Buck Dunn on bass. If this doesn’t get your feet tapping, there’s just no hope for you! Sit back, turn up your speakers and enjoy a jam session with some legendary performers.

OMG that was awesome! I'm still playing it! That's entertainment with a capital E! I LOVE Ray Charles (God rest his soul) and the rest make it a real toe-tapper! What a jam session! I would have loved to be in the audience that night!
WOW! Long live rock & roll!!
The greats of rock and roll on one stage! I would have given anything to us e been there! 5-Star!
Quite a jam-session all right. Anyone know why Jerry Lee was wearing what looks like a golf glove?
That is some fine boogie down music! Yes, my feet were tapping, you can't help it!
pfff je ne sais pas si les gens sur le moment s'avaient la chance qu'ils avaient d'etre dans cette salles avec 3 grands. vive la soul music
OK somebody please decipher what soul-power just wrote! Instead, I think it is the responsibility of the site owner. Better get started Dad, this one is going to take some homework. ;)
Okay Shannon. My French stinks (my Spanish isn't much better) but, VERY loosely translated, he's saying that he wonders if the people in the audience realize how lucky they were to witness three music greats on the same stage, and he ends with (I think) "long live soul music."
Anyone speak French? How'd I do?
