Day 0048 - Live at the Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis "Live at the Star Club, Hamburg" (1965)



This feels like a similar vibe to the Sam Cooke live album earlier in this list, as it pings from song to song with the audience yelling and hooting.  Jerry's performance is electrifying, with his band barely able to keep up.

 After the scandal of marrying his 13 year old cousin (we've all done it, come on) Jerry went underground.  This was his first release in quite a few years and he just comes out swinging.  You can just about hear the sweat hitting the microphone.
