[rockitMiC]

Didn't even know this version existed! Thanks to you and the net!

[TITICAT91]

GEANT !

[nwleeuw]

one person never got the bop!

[frankiehiyo]

Wow, that is as rare as a ten cent note. Great stuff, and true Rock "n" Roll. They were always great to watch.

[MIKEY12324]

I'm a big Elvis fan...but, these guys are the greatest when it comes to rock-a-billy. Listen and watch close to this video...it's "live", and they knocked it outa' tha' ballpark !

super video really like Gene

[Rotis59]

The drummer (Dickie Harrell?) was the last of the original Blue Caps to leave Gene.

[Rotis59]

Check out the drummer during the instru break!

[trtomthedrummer2]

@Rotis59 He's wailin', flailin' and having a ball! That high-pitched scream came from him, too! That's rockin'!!!!

.GWincent Classic!

[StevePastor50]

Based on the staging and arm that comes out as the curtain closes, this must be the Ed Sullivan Show 17th November 1957.

Yes? No? Maybe?

[kingvidiot66]

Nice!

[pfordsq]

Dickie Harrell is still alive , too . When the surviving Blue Caps were still performing , not long ago , they got snubbed , or merely "Overlooked", by the major Rockabilly/R'n'R fests in the States. Great , great footage , but , I think Gene gave Tommy and Paul so much time in the spotlight , despite his legendary egotism (And , yes , he had something to be egotistical about.) , because he seemed self - conscious about his looks and his mobility. Maybe not.

[penn4644]

@pfordsq Agreed. Love the way Dickie whales away at his drums during the solo!

The States seem to know nothing of their greatest music. I guess that's why Gene had to go to Europe in the early ' 60's the further his career. The "Clapper Boys" gave excellent back-up vocals.

The Blue Caps rule. End of story!

[calvertsch]

How did I miss this? Great history!

[jean29s]

Extraordinaire !! wonderfull

[willpn100]

This tv show was broadcast in the U.S.A.?

[jeryd2003]

dem boys got dose legs going 2

[Hrorvendel]

More energetic than the studio version and with strangely mixed-up lyrics. Great!

[penn4644]

Gene is absolutely my favorite Rocker of the 50s. And he had by far the best band; first with Cliff Gallup and then Johnny Meeks as shown here. What a great video !

Thank you for posting this. Cheers !

[bellgardens53]

Never seen this REAL live with Gene and the Caps. Thanks. Super great! I wonder if the ultra rare color live footage with Gene/Caps from '57 (I think it's from) is still on youtube? I saved it when I found it....but I have so much saved....guess I have a look so it haven't been purged.

[willpn100]
