Never saw Chuck or Elvis live but I saw Jerry Lee at The Imperial Room of the Royal York in  1985/86 not long after doctors fixed the hole in his gut that almost killed him.

The Killer was an hour late for this last performance of a 2 week run, the room was packed and hot and the crowd was getting restless.

Finally, Lewis slowly walked out and then started to play while yelling at his band mates and  seemingly under the influence of adult beverages.

He got off to a shaky start for the first 3 numbers and then an attractive woman came up to the upright piano and placed a drink on it.  Jerry kept playing with one hand while drinking with the other and seemed to get his second wind.

Moments later, a second pretty woman came up with a second drink, placed it on the piano, and Jerry downed it, too.

After that, he was flying with incredible energy and gave us about 90 minutes of "mother humpin rock and roll" I never saw before or since..

His pal Ronnie Hawkins joined him for the final.
