Various Artists – The London Rock and Roll Show [1972] [2005, DVD]

This is yet another title in the Legacy DVD series, and it constitutes a “classic rock & roll revue” show that must have made the Teddy Boys at the time blow their tops with excitement. You get the big guns: Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley (!!!!), and Little Richard Penniman in a scorcher of a gig at London’s Wembley Arena in 1972. The sound quality is better than fair, and given that this was released on British TV, the overall footage is great.
