Jerry Lee Lewis March 15, 1987 Newport Music Hall Columbus, Ohio 10 PM show


This was the second of two shows Jerry Lee played this night at the Newport, and it seems he spent most of the evening hitting the bottle. I can say this because:

*He was very glad to be in Cleveland (this is Columbus)
*After one of his band mates mentioned that he was not in Cleveland, he was damn glad to be in Dayton (again, this is Columbus)
*He fell of his stool
*He played one song more than once
*There were several times where it appeared he forgot lyrics. The female singer in his band (I think his daughter or step-daughter) had to jump in and sing. She sang a lot.


But who am I to judge? It's always great seeing one of the true rock and roll legends, and I simply couldn't pass on the opportunity.

By the way, his most recent release, 2014's Rock & Roll Time, is a star studded journey back through time recorded at the infamous Sun Studio. It's worth a casual listen.
