Killer Live 1964 to 1970 (3CD set)

Out Of Stock

Nerve-shaking, brain-rattling 60s live work from The Killer – a 3CD set that includes the legendary Live At The Star Club, Hamburg set plus a treasure trove of live tracks and unreleased concert material from those original recordings for Smash/Mercury – this is seriously some of the most incendiary work of his career – in an epic 3CD set from Hip-O Select! Live At The Star Club, Hamburg, from 1964, is simply one of the most fiery live albums of all time – this thing slays! Jerry Lee was suffering in the post-scandal doldrums, sales-wise and respect-wise, and he was essentially in exile at the time – so much so that the album originally came out in Germany and the UK, but not in the US! The Killer is a man possessed here – just listening to the backing combo The Nashville Teens try to keep up with him is a workout! Disc 1 features that original album and '64's The Greatest Live Show On Earth – plus the Hamburg bonus track "Down The Line". Disc 2 features the '66 follow up By Request: More Of The Greatest Live Show On Earth and Live At The International, Las Vegas from 1970. Disc 3 has outtakes from those 66 and '70 – many previously unreleased. 60 tracks on 3CDs – 4 full live albums from the mid-to-late 60s and a full disc of bonus tracks. The usual top notch Hip-O Select liner notes and all around attention to detail is in full effect, as you'd expect– and this material has richly deserved this kind of treatment for too many years!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
