JERRY LEE LEWIS - CONCERT à  NORMAN, OKLAHOMA - 2 février 2007 (reportage envoyé par Linda)
Quel superbe show hier soir à Norman!
 
Les musiciens de Jerry commencèrent avec quatre morceaux Honey Hush, The Fireman, I Love to
Ride et  Wooly Bully. Ken Lovelace déclara qu'il ne pouvait pas chanter en raison d'une laryngite et qu'il laissait aux autres musiciens le soin de chanter.
 
Puis Jerry arriva par la droite de la scène, vêtu de jeans noir et une chemise noire à manche courte. Il était tout sourire et salua le public, puis il attaqua avec ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN, suivi de YOU WIN AGAIN. Ensuite il interpreta HADACOL BOOGIE, puis I DON'T WANT TO BE LONELY TONIGHT.  Quelqu'un demande SHE EVEN WOKE ME UP TO SAY GOODBYE (traduit par "elle me réveilla pour me dire au revoir"), ce à quoi il répondit "non, elle ne l'a pas fait". Tout le monde rigola, puis il dit "elle ne m'a pas réveillé, elle est parti avec deux voitures.... une avec mes diamants et l'autre avec mon pognon! Je lui dis que je l'attendrai mais elle m'a répondu de ne pas retenir mon souffle jusque-là!" Ce qui provoqua un grand éclat de rire dans la salle! Puis il chanta DRINKIN' WIONE SPO DEE O DEE, AS FAR AS I' CONCERNED, et YOU BELONG TO ME. Puis il attaqua GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, une version fantastique! A la fin il dit "c'est ce que je peux faire de mieux comme rock'n'roll". Il termina avec WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN'. Il ne balança pas son siège en arrière comme il le fait souvent. Il se leva simplement pour quitter la scène. Quelqu'un au premier rang lui tendit un bouquet de fleurs et il s'arrêta pour le prendre.
  
J'ai vu Jerry trois fois ces quatorze derniers mois et c'était, de loin, le show il a été le meilleur! Sa voix était puissante, son jeu de piano parfait et il était dans une humeur excellente.

 

       Concert de Jerry Lee Lewis à Norman ( Ohlahoma ) par Linda

       Hi everyone!  What a wonderful show it was last night in Norman! 
The band did the usual four songs:  Honey Hush, The Fireman, I Love to
Ride and Wooly Bully.  Ken Lovelace said he was getting over laryngitis
so he wasn't going to sing.  He left that to the others.
   Jerry Lee walked out from the right side of the stage.  He was
wearing black slacks and a black short-sleeved shirt.  He was smiling
and bowed to the audience before he sat down at the piano.
   He opened with Roll Over, Beethoven, then did You Win Again.  (After
Beethoven, he stopped to take a ring off of his right hand and put it
in his pocket).  He said, "Hank Williams had a hit record with this but
Jerry Lee Lewis had a gold record with it."  He also said he's sure
Hank was on bended knee saying it to Miss Audrey.
   He did Hadacol Boogie next, then I Don't Wanna Be Lonely Tonight. 
Someone in the audience yelled out, "She Even Woke Me Up."  He
replied, "No, she didn't."  Everyone laughed, then he said, "No, she
did wake me up.  She left with two cars...one filled with diamonds and
one filled with money.  I told her, 'You'll be back,' and she
said, 'Don't hold your breath!'"  That drew a big laugh!
   Next was Drinkin' Wine, As Far as I'm Concerned and You Belong To Me.
Sometime during these songs, he stopped to wipe his right eye, saying
he had water in it.  Someone handed a tissue to him and he put it to
his nose and made a loud sound like he was blowing his nose.  Very
funny!
   He did Great Balls of Fire next.  What a great versions it was! 
After that, he said, "That's as close as I can get to rock and roll." 
Last was Whole Lotta Shakin'.  He didn't kick the stool over like he
usually does.  He just got up and started to walk off stage.  Someone
in the front row handed him a small bouquet of flowers, which he paused
to take.
   I've seen Jerry Lee three times in the last 14 months and this was,
by far, the best he's sounded!  His voice was strong, his piano playing
was dead-on and he was very animated and in a joking mood during the
entire show.  I wish I could remember everything he said and did.
   I was in the second row on the right side so I wasn't able to get
good pictures until the last song when I went up to the front of the
stage to get the two pics I'll post.
   This show did my heart good!  He seems so strong and healthy and I'm
so privileged to have the opportunity to see him!
