On 21st October 1985 at Londons Limehouse Studios a superstar cast of friends and fans joined Carl Perkins to record a TV special celebrating his career, 30 years after he recorded "Blue Suede Shoes". Perkins was joined by George Harrison and Eric Clapton and other stars including Dave Edmunds, Slim Jim Phantom and Lee (Stray Cats) Rocker plus Earl Slick and singer Rosanne Cash. George Harrison struck up a lasting friendship with Perkins and much of the continued interest in the programme lies in the prominent role played by Harrison. The former Beatle takes lead vocal on several tracks as well as playing guitar. He is joined by former colleague Ringo Starr: their first gig together since the mid-1970s. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this unique show, the concert is released as DVD/CD set in a mediabook with liner notes from Sam Szczepanski, who was one of the fans who managed to get a ticket for the show. This set captures the whole concert. The DVD also includes short interviews. (bron: Madfish)
