“Based on two rock'n'roll revival shows plus some Las Vegas footage of Fats Domino, Let the Good Times Roll is a jolting reminder of rock's nascent power. Serving as both a reunion for fifties veterans and an introduction for those who have only heard their names breathed in awe, The Shirelles, The Five Sations, Chubby Checker, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry perform with all the passionate frenzy of a revival meeting. They've all still got what it takes, but the show is stopped and stolen by the brilliance of Little Richard, primping and preening off-stage and performing sold-to-the-Devil soulful renditions of ‘Lucille, ‘Rip It Up', and ‘Good Golly, Miss Molly'. Directors Sid Levin and Robert Abel add perspective with fascinating fifties footage of parental, clerical, and political efforts to nip rock'n'roll in the bud and to keep the lid on teenage rebellion. The widescreen format and imaginative, multi-image effects highlight the still exuberant energy of these performers blazing in full, incendiary glory. Let the Good Times Roll burns down the house and proves the myth that rock'n'rollers never die.” Sally Syberg
