25.02.1977. Jerry played a great show in Manchester at the Belle Vue theatre.
Here you see Jerry giving a short interview at the airport at the start of his European appearance in London and taking place in a limousine accompanied by motorcycles to drive him to his hotel or, maybe, the show.
He looks good and healthy but reserved and a bit shy to tell something wrong. He states that he always did country and that the flip side sides of his great hits were all country.
25.11.1977 - WHOLE LOTTA SHAKING WITH BETTE MIDDLER
25.11.1977. Whole lotta shaking going, duet with Bette (The rose) Middler.
Jerry was a guest on The Rolling Stone Special, broadcasted on 25.11.1977 but, probably, taped earlier in october 1977.
The channel was HBO TV.
The band behind Jerry Lee and Bette is seemingly a Studio- or a theatre band with a conductor shaking a stick and even trumpets in it . I don't even recognize Kenny Lovelace, I don't think he is playing with the band.
Musicians : Jerry Lee Lewis : piano +vocals, Bette Middler : vocal-duet, backing : studio band.

JERRY LEE LEWIS WAS HOSPITALIZED ON 30 JUNE 1981 WITH A BLEEDING ULCER AND A PERFORATED STOMACH. HE WENT ONLY BACK ON THE ROAD ON 3 OCTOBER 1981. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS HIS FIRST APPEARANCE IN PUBLIC AFTER HIS HOSPITALISATION.

21.09.1982. Jerry was travellin' from New Orleans to Natchez on the Mississippi Queen Riverboat, taping an autumn television Special with Conway Twitty.
First there is an interview by Dick Clark with both Jerry and Conway.
I think in this video Jerry and his piano are live but the backing music is there , but I don't see any other musicians.
Could be a tape but I doubt it, knowing Jerry.

8.04.1985. Jerry in a supermood but maybe also mad about something.
He ends the song abrupt like he sometimes does when something or somebody works on his nerves, or when he is simply tired of the song.
