The clean strike of the keys without hitting the others at 16th to the bar, is freaking outstanding. He was a great piano player. Give him his props...he deserves it.

How many people think this man was truly the happiest when he was on stage performing?

His Mom was at every concert, that's love

I met Liberace back in 1967 at a reception. He was as friendly to me as he is to this audience. He truly was one of the great entertainers of the 20th century.

I saw him once and what a show he put on. I was close to the stage when this lady showed him her ring a HUGE diamond Liberace turned to the lady and smiled and said "It's a start dear" he was class

Talented man. Back when entertainers did just that. Entertained.

Say what you want about this man, but his piano skills are about the best the world has ever seen.

One of The greatest performers of all time. Who cares what he did in his private life

That kind of showmanship is a thing of the past, he was amazing on stage.

Incredible, and he played like that with a huge ring on his finger AND while talking.

Lord, this performance! This personality! Where else can you find a three-minute cure for a bad mood???

wow, how a man can entertain everybody with a piano. I enjoyed it today!

One of the few mega-celebrities who realized that fame and fortune came not only from their talent but from the consent of the audience and the love of worldwide fans. Liberace never forgot that and was consistently and tirelessly gracious to his fan base, both en masse and individually. In another time and another age of show business that was called class.

Boogie Woogie is a "craze" that has never gone out of style. Energetic, infectious, fun!

This was great entertainment and showmanship. Yes, Liberace was lavish and colorful, but that was his unique style! Enjoy the Master's music and revel in his brilliant showmanship. Liberace was great because he loved his music and he loved entertaining. RIP Liberace.

I had an opportunity to meet him one on one after one of his performances. He was exhausted and a total gentleman -" Did you like the show, how was the food, please come again" No push out the door I didn't stay as I thought I was imposing on his good nature. A true gent.

Not only was he a GREAT piano player and entertainer, but you could just see how much fun he, the band, and the audience were having!

I used to see Liberace on tv when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s but its only now i realize how spectacular he was. He always seemed like a genuinely kind person.

It doesn't happen very often but every now and then the world is graced with a wonderful talent. Liberace had the power to make us all smile and when he played the piano he made the world a better place. The world is sadder with his passing but I am sure he is rocking in heaven.

Listen to how clean and consistent his playing. Genius

Liberace was the happiest performer. His smile and laughter were so genuine and he truly seemed like he was the happiest person. How can anyone not smile if he was smiling? It was like he could never not smile. Liberace was truly one of those performers (whether Las Vegas, or anywhere) who really wanted his audiences to have a good time and put alot of his energy in making sure they did. Elvis was another one. Two of Las Vegas' best. Now, those days are gone. Have been for decades+

You never see perfomences like this today. I grow up in the 90s and 2000s but love music like this, like Liberace and Elvis!

The greatest piano player that ever lived. Period. Ask any concert pianist who's the greatest. Liberace..

Liberace set the bar high with this incredible performance. A great showman and a legend.

He had his beginnings in classical piano. His timing was steadier tha a metronome. Did you know his full name was Wladziu Valentino Liberace? He was a real showman, the best pianist I have ever seen and had a handsome and soothing singing voice. He thrilled me as a little girl and he still does today. He was also a very courteous and thoughtful person.

It’s unreal how well he could play piano. I can’t even move my hands that fast period, let alone do it and hit ALL of the correct keys at that speed.

Handsome.... talented.....classy...... funny.......nothing like him around now. Glad we have him on KZfaq!!!!

this man was an ENTERTAINER with a capital E. they don't exist anymore. brought joy to millions!

He had such a genuinely kind and happy smile you rarely get from nowaday's performance artists. Will always appreciate this man for being a true entertainer, one of the musical legends ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

I Loved Liberace, watched him with my Mother, and Grand Ma as well. He was a true connoisseur of the keyboard...

Debbie Reynolds use to speak of her friend Liberace with such great affection. I hope their souls are singing, playing, and dancing throughout our Universe right now! God bless them special - always 💜💜🎆

I have watched it more than 10 times and I still like EVERY SECOND OF IT! ❤❤❤ This is the peak of showmanship indeed

Liberace was definitely a showman--you can see he loved what he was doing, (smiling) and better yet including the audience! Fantastic artist. Thank you for posting.

His showmanship overshadowed his great talent on the piano.

When I was a kid my parents could not have paid me to watch Liberace. Now as an adult I can't seem to get enough of his music!

Oh liberace what talent you have.. you're a genius in that piano and that wonderful personality to go along with it... what a wonderful entertainer you were..you are the best piano player I've ever seen wow!!! I will say it again genius!! May you rip🥰

I have enjoyed reading the comments, so I too must comment. I have followed Liberace all my life from the fifties until his death. In all that time, besides being the ultimate performer, he has been a total gentleman and great human being at all times. And he took excellent care of his mother!

True genius. You never see Lee read sheet music, it's all from memory no matter what he's playing. Never see talent like him again.

Loved him, he was always my favorite.

I'm old, now, and hopefully just a smidge wiser, and I have to say that Liberace, in spite of his fame, was probably seriously under-appreciated...

They dont make em like this guy any more......Real talent.

I learned piano watching him, god he was truly greatness perfect performance thanks Liberace

Rest in peace Liberace you always be remembered as the greatest piano player in the world and you always be remembered as the piano Elvis to me you are but you always be remembered as the best piano player in the 50 60 70s and 80syou'll never be forgotten as your name is Liberace and is God's hope will hold y your kind soul and say you are not just a good piano player you are never forgotten as the as Liberace and there's only one perfect Liberace in this world that will live forever and his soul will live at his music balloon that is the Liberace that was buried in Hollywood forever

Definitely the dance swing of Liberace. Wunderbar!!!! Viva!!! Magnifique!!!

16 to the bar. That's gotta be like Mach speed on a piano. Truly insane talent!

Never get tired of Liberace! Amazing Pianist!

100% a showman and how he could play a piano. God Bless

Wow- so talented. And he's having such a great time .

The only showman I can think of with this command of the audience was Freddie Mercury. Two of the best showmen who ever lived. Liberace was very warm hearted with his audience.

This video proves that too much of a good thing is wonderful!

I think he was the happiest when performing. I saw him in person and really enjoyed his show. I used to run home from school to watch his show and Bandstand. I took piano lessons back then. Miss him.

He was a great pianist along with being a flamboyant entertainer. I used to find it amusing that his brother George was so reserved as he accompanied him on the violin. Opposite personalities but both outstanding musicians.

Liberace was quite brilliant musically but also by creating a persona, love it or hate it, that made him known to everyone.

could THAT MAN ever play an instrument...he is missed, what a performer...RIP LIBERACE!!

FANTASTIC, THIS MAN IS A CLASS ACT & AWESOME PIANIST & PERFORMER! THANK YOU

A double kick drum in 69' is kinda ahead of its time

I love love Liberace. He was an amazing musician.

Saw him at the London Palladium many years ago. As well as being a talented musician he was really funny. He was on stage for over an hour and the entertainment didn't flag for a second! It was obvious he was having a whale of a time on stage, and so were we, being ebtertained by him. The greatest showman of our time.

Man, Liberace was just fabulous! What an incredible person and entertainer.

Plus de 50 ans après,ont ne se lasse pas de l'exhibition de ce phénoménal ARTISTE

Loved Liberace then, love him now, he was/is the best EVER!!! Sadly missed...

A true showman. I always found liking in his playing. And,his attitude seemed so splendid.

He was a super, if not the best pianist and entertainer, but his best ability was like most of old Hollywood, he worshipped his audience. His talent and memory will last for many years

Again, showing why Liberace was the king of showmenship!

Liberace can really play a piano and he is such a GREAT showman........I love to listen to him. I went to Nursing School at St. Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA where he was a patient at one time and he told the story of how nice the Nuns were to him that he gave money to the hospital and they built a big lobby that was beautiful and you had to go through his lobby to get to Nursing classes.................what an honor it was for me to know that I walked everyday through his lobby.

Man. One cool dude he was. I watched Liberache back in the 1950's as a child.

Truly, MR. SHOWMAN!

Such a ham! My mom used to talk about him, but this is the first time i see him; he is amazing!

Today, 2019, Liberace is long dead, but finding this video reminded me of what a really great entertainer he was, supposedly the greatest piano player whoever lived, definitely a very handsome man with a likeable personality. and Liberace was the most flamboyant entertainer whoever took stage...anywhere. Today, I enjoy watching Liberace perform, the same way I did back in the day, but even more so now...thanks to KZfaq, I get to replay this video until my hand cramps and I'm totally exhausted.

Absolutely effortless and the way Liberace's fingers glide over the keys is a sight to behold.

Fingers fast as lightning.The man was Mr. Vegas,and one of the worlds fastest pianist in history.

I am a musician and just think this man is the best performer in history, never forget him, he is the greatest.

Very talented man. Both comedic and musically. Watch those hands at 16 to the bar. Unbelievable!

What a WONDERFUL Showman he was,always enjoyed his great Shows!

First time ever seeing Liberace, this guy was a master piano player for the past 100 years.

About the best boogie ever...

Growing up in the 60s, I had seen Liberace on many talk shows. It wasn’t until I saw him in a movie about 30 years ago called “Sincerely Yours” about a concert pianist, that I became aware of his talent. He was for sure a tortured soul that had more talent in his baby finger, than most people in their whole bodies. Thanks to youtube the performers of the past are memorialized in our hearts and minds. RIP Mr. Liberace.

In 1956 Las Vegas he showed Elvis the ropes on how to dress when performing. In just a few months Elvis was wearing that gold suit and you know the rest Liberace knew showmanship

I am totally amazed at how awesome of an entertainer Liberace was. In the same category as Michael Jackson, Elvis and the Beatles in my book. I wish I had the chance to see one of his shows, but I was only 12yo when he passed. Never will we see such amazing music giants like this ever again. So sad that he is gone along with his museum. A true legend of entertainment.

He has to be in the top 10 of all time 🌠

Holy god, that was intense! This is probably the first I've seen of Liberace, and I'm bloody impressed!

You never saw Liberace without that amazing dimpled smile and loving what he did best! I saw him on, “What’s my line” a looooong time ago and the panel figure out who he was very quickly. Not too many back then could play like he did and receive wild receptions wherever he appeared.

He was my early inspiration to pick up on the B-3. He amazed people for half a century and long after his death. I am pleased we still have parts of him performing in his best years.

Fantastic performer.

What an entertainer he was...

ONE OF THE VERY BEST EVER!!! WE LOVED LIBERACE!!!!!

Just amazing !

Amazing musician he was. God. bless him.

What continues to delight ME [besides his marvelous music] is how utterly delighted HE seems to be while playing.

Weather you liked him or not...the man could play...WOW..What a showman

you know who the king is when Liberace copies Jerry Lee Lewis. The arm motions the piano beating......pure killer

WWOW! Nothing. Like this these days…..loved Lees wing man…on the side..to enhance Lees gift.

wow i forgot how good he was, sensationally brilliant pianist and all round performer, unsurpassed

Man, The dude could play Piano.

Who would have ever guessed that this cat could play like this.......GREAT. Thanks for posting

Liberace remains among the few pianist still today who still remembered how to play the original boogie sound in boogie woogie music. I myself just released an 1880s saloon style version of the boogie woogie sound. Have a listen if you will. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

Very talented man with fierce charisma!

I said it to another video of him and I'm gonna say it to this video. He is the absolute ultimate pianist!!! No one was ever or will ever be better than him. Wish he was still alive!!!

I actually grew up watching Liberace on TV and he inspired me to teach myself how to play piano!😍

As a kid in the 60s and 70s I used to think he was some kind of weird dorkish guy. But, seeing this, he was one talented S.O.B. Just the way he plays with his left hand without looking. I'm not a musician, but that is something!
