Between/after the band sets, I heard more than one version of Shake, Rattle and Roll and while musically I love that thing, good god it's hideously sexist.
Are there any versions that aren't so painful? Bill Haley's version is a little less awful than Big Joe Turner's. But still pretty grim.
Oh and while we're here - ditch Elvis' Hound Dog for Big Mama Thornton's.
And go listen to a bunch of recordings by Sister Rosetta Tharpe πΈ
