Live albums are hit and miss, right? There's the overplayed dogs and the pedestrian disappointments, and then there's that tiny percentage that keeps us from dismissing all live LPs, the ones that capture an intensity that never made it to the studio. Jerry Lee Lewis' Live at the Star Club LP is one of those. Recorded with the Nashville Teens as a backing band, it's the Killer's determined "fuck you" and intimate "thank you" all wrapped into one ferocious 37 minute set. Really, critics and real people gush and slobber all over this stuff. A book has been written about it. It's regarded by every single person on this planet as one of the best live rock 'n' roll live LPs ever. Not really, it just seems like it. But it is intense, nothing pretty or half assed about it. You can imagine the wheels turning, "I don't care about that. I'm Jerry Lee and this is what I do."
