I just got a ticket for a performance of Jerry Lee Lewis in Amsterdam.
Does anyone knows if he has a steel player with him?
(it's not the reason why I want to see him, but I was just wondering)[This message was edited by Marco Schouten on 24 January 2004 at 11:49 AM.] |

Jerry lee was in Vienna quite a few times, but he never had a Steel Player here, even at times when he did a lot of country material. He used guitar and a great fiddle player (Kenny Lovelace). I don't know about his current band, though.

Please pardon my ignorance,but if your refering to the "Great Balls Of Fire" Jerry Lee Lewis(piano playing),I thought he passed away a while ago.
If I'm wrong,I most humbly apologize to him and you.

I have opened shows for JLL, and he usually shows up with a bass player, guitar player and drummer.
They turn it all up, and rock for 2 hours nonstop. One long medley!!
Amazing.
No steel players that I know of.

| Last time the Killer was through here he had James Burton playing guitar. If that is still the case its definitely a show not to miss. |

| He had a steel player for many years but for now I can't remember his name. The player worked for several years with Eddie Rabbit up until Eddie's death. Maybe someone out there can remember his name. |
