I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised at how much Jerry Lee is working and is planing to work lately. The Killer Rocks On

[Rocky]

Yes, he's averaging a show a month...about 12 a year.

Yes, he's averaging a show a month...about 12 a year.

Considering that he did NO full shows 6 years ago in 2012 and everyone thought his career had ended, that is still surprising.

"everyone" = not me

[Piet]

Okay let me add this, if he's singing like on the last show he better stop doing shows

His voice in his last concert was very much better than in earlier shows this year.

He has been having good and bad days vocally for about 45 years now. His piano playing though, even on a bad day, is far better than Chuck Berry's guitar playing was 20 years ago.

[Piet]

I agree his pianoplaying is good enough but singing a slow song he doesn't have that beautiful voice anymore that I like in his country songs.
Of course, that's my opinion

[wolfgangguhl]

Florida seems to be the place to be in January for good old rockin' Jerry Lee and Wolfie G.!

The 1,741 seat hall will likely sell out.

[wolfgangguhl]

1464 out of the 1741 available tickets have been sold so far. I expect the show to sell out on showday.

[Rocky]

January 27, 2019 Sarasota, Florida. 40 minutes, 9 songs. He began with a snippet of "Money Honey" then came the usual set of the past 20 years... "Down the Line/You Win Again/Before the Night is Over/Rockin' My Life Away/She Even Woke Me Up/Sweet Little Sixteen/C. C. Rider/Great Balls of Fire/Whole Lotta Shaking". He kicked over the stool and walked off stage with support of his cane. Jerry wore his cranberry color sport jacket, dark rousers, white buckskin shoes.
