===''Live at the Star Club, Hamburg''=== One major success during these lost years was the concert album ''[[Live at the Star Club, Hamburg]]'', recorded with [[the Nashville Teens]] in 1964, which is considered one of the greatest live albums ever.<ref name="Checksfield">Checksfield, Peter (1995). "Jerry Lee Lewis. The Greatest Live Show on Earth".

The results were sonically astonishing, with Bonomo observing, "Detractors complain of the album's crashing noisiness, the lack of subtlety with which Jerry Lee revisits the songs, the fact that the piano is mixed too loudly, but what is certain is that Siggi Loch on this spring evening captured something brutally honest about the Killer, about the primal and timeless centre of the very best rock & roll..." The album showcases Lewis's skills as a pianist and singer, honed by relentless touring. In a 5-out-of-5-stars review, Milo Miles wrote in ''Rolling Stone'' that "''Live at the Star Club, Hamburg'' is not an album, it's a crime scene: Jerry Lee Lewis slaughters his rivals in a 13-song set that feels like one long convulsion."
