The Bobby Fuller Four Live 1965 I fought The law

[fenderaxe]

the show was called Hullabaloo

[torgo714]

What a great rockin song. Haven't heard a bad version of it yet

[MegaBalambalam]

whats the name of this show?

[WALTERBROADDUS]

I doubt these guys would last a day in a the LA county jail...... Not exactly outlaws.

[chiakishrine]

@WALTERBROADDUS There is a lot of "bad karma" with some rock stars. Brian Jones was also killed by the mob but the police did nothing about it. Even English cops are paid off.

[bsstrr1]

I don't what else they had that came close to this song, but it is one of the all time best rock songs ever written

[professordumbledorf]

"I guess my race is run" prophetic words.

[CONNER3497]

poor guy r.i.p found outside his apartment in hollywood by lapd beaten with a rag of gasoline stuffed in his mouth such a shame makes me sad :(

[spacepatrolman]

@CONNER3497 thats not exactly right he was in the back seat of his car with a hose around his neck [ he didnt have a rag in his mouth unless you have seen a picture taken before the one i have seen ] he did have gasoline on his shirt and bruises on his face and scuff marks on the backs of his heels like he had been dragged

[CONNER3497]

@spacepatrolman not sure then just a review i read online

[jqchi]

The drummer is Dewayne Quirico, this was not played live this is the recording

[spacepatrolman]

@jqchi It doesnt sound the same as the record unless they rerecorded it at the tv soundstage but the guitars are plugged in and you can here the audiance

[RockNEHouseNHipHop]

@spacepatrolman I think this was live and that circumstances happened and it just happened to be a different drummer

[mkp823]

As Marshall Crenshaw said "my favorite rock star ever to have been killed by gangsters".

[milkypirate99]

The intro reminded me a lot of Hairspray.

[linabby2011]

this a memory video it is just sad that noone could find his killer ,but carma always comes back to bite you and that person will

[confusedconfucious]

See

Thats Me!

[OmegaWolf666]

After just watching The Clash, this is surreal, especially with that intro.

[guido1365]

what a talent right up there with buddy holly... to bad he was murdered

[johnny10301968]

Who's on drums?

[MisFire45]

@johnny10301968 Dalton Powell

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Really sad loss -- he had a great future. RIP, Bobby.

[grubbybean]

ha ha - this isn't live it's lip synch - there isn't even a chord plugged into the bass

[WALTERBROADDUS]

@grubbybean Typical 1960's tv practice was to Lip sync.

[chiakishrine]

He didn't get shot. Gasoline was poured down his throat and his stomach was filled with it. It wasn't proven that a gangster did it but the evidence is that this was so. "Someone" drove his car back to his mothers house and they found him laid out in the front seat. The geniuses at the LAPD said it was suicide.

[WALTERBROADDUS]

@chiakishrine True E! Hollywood story stuff. Sam Cooke's Death was Flaky to. The Dragnet boys must have been busy on other cases......

[HIGGERHAGGERHOFF]

GoGo dancers rule!

[jeffrefrig]

Lotta Buddy Holly



[MisFire45]

@jeffrefrig IKR!

[steinkopf100]

@jeffrefrig not a surprise, considering the crickets (without buddy holly) wrote the original

[deserthawk1]

Great video

[EngyJake]

How to hell i born in this century?

If there is anyway to get 60s i could almost kill my self.

[GrayGhost8]

@torngorilla Try looking on Amazon.

[Baltimora1957]

Great singer with extraordinary talent. Could have been the next Buddy Holly. Rest In Peace Bobby.

[SlashManEXE]

Cool, never seen the full intro.

[ntn9956]

Bobby Fuller looked so young because he had not reached his 24th birthday before he passed - (under mysterious circumstances)

[Aquaris1955]

@ntn9956 nothing mysterious about it, he was having a fling with a mobsters girlfriend and got shot for it, in his car no less. Great talent, gone to soon, love this song, downloaded from Itunes

[tommat00]

@riv4life618 Wasnt given to england really we produced some great bands in the 60s and 70s but so did America, im into a quite broad array of music from stuff like Jefferson Airplane and creedence clearwater revival to Black sabbath and led zeppelin, older rock music like this to stuff by country joe McDonald. It wasnt given to england great music belonged to everyone.

[MelJelloFreak]

Bobby Fuller looks like one of those clay-mation men. ^-^ most men back then looked like that. so handsome :D

[breffnipark]

Absolutely LOVE this !

[riv4life618]

I so love this song, nice to see it live!!! So sad what happened to him. They had major promise, they were kinda a throw back to true rock of the 50s but with a fresh kick. Certainly a ray of light from the direction the music world of the late 60s was headed. Between them & The Beach Boys America should've held it's place as the rock music mecca of the world, it should've never been given to England by the media

[flashfast2000]

sounds like a true live performance, at least on vocals.

[Klumpmeister]

Thats me!

[youmazoo]

wow i remember seeing this on tv , thanks

[jarlitruky]

muy bueno

[ReesesMonkeyXP]

in the simpson's hit & run video game bart says at some point "i fought the law and I won!"

i wonder if that was a referance to this

[elcash53]

The last guy in the lineup losing his footing and falls down behind Bobby. Great song great singer....gone way too soon.

[LousFool]

Oh yea--Bobby was sooo good. I still think of him often. I was so sad when he died.

[takoma5]

Excellent version of an old Buddy Holley song, Fuller was a great singer and performer, Thx wksufreshair

[LTF6161]

@takoma5

Actually not a Buddy Holly song, although it was first recorded by the Crickets with the tune's writer, Sonny Curtis after Holly's death.
