This unforgettable concert was shot at Toronto’s legendary Massey Hall. Stan Perkins proclaimed: “That was a special night, everyone was in top form … I know I never saw daddy put on a better show!” An enthusiastic Jerry Lee Lewis states, “I never saw a better drummer, a better band, saxophones, piano players … Man I tell you I have not had an inspiration like this since the first time I got married”.
Let It Rock was the inspiration for the companion documentary “Let It Rock at the Crossroads of Rock’N’Roll”. Both the Concert and the companion Documentary are must have productions for anyone's music and video library.
