Sweet Little Sixteen (Live)

[biggerthanacadillac]

Do ALL USA Presidents play Saxamaphorn?? SEE Ronald Reagan behind EC in the first pikky!!! LOL! Seriously, Eddie could do NO wrong way back in the old R&R days......poor lad was WAY ahead of his time. I & millions simply worshipped him & I feel SO privileged to have been a witness that which was a worldwide 'movement' which we all thought would last for ever but sadly didn't.......listen to today's unoriginal drivel for proof. But then, it has ALL been done before has it not?

[sharkunalin]

i didn't think there could be a better version of this song than chuck's...i was wrong

[TheSunbau]

That´s really good old rock ´n roll. Where have you been all my life?

Whooah! Vibrations from a bygone period of great rock music!

Also check up some pearls from the 60s: For instance, THE ZETTLERS!

Listen to their versions of SKINNIE MINNIE and BEAUTIFUL DELILAH.

What amazing expression and feeling.

[drandec]

The story I got was that he was conceived when his family lived in Oklahoma and born after his family moved to MN. I like to think his family always claimed to be from Oklahoma and he just went along with it without thinking too much about it. That is all!

[docthebluesman]

Excuse me, but Eddie always claimed Oklahoma City as his hometown.

[sloroll01]

I think of Eddie every time I truck through Albert Lea, MN., his home town.

This is classic Eddie guitar work!

Eddie Rocks!

[GOLDBAND45]

There is an LP of this TV show on the United Artists label UAS 29380 titled 'On The Air'

Marty Wilde did a great job of interviewing

Eddy.

[morpher44]

I'm surprized I hadn't heard this version before. Thanks. Good guitar work -- drums are a bit weird. Vocals excellent!!!

[roscoe008]

Eddie was Hi-Octane rock and roll.

[mendes1970]

The actual music needs Genius like Eddie, but I'm sure that he continue to sing in the heaven.]

God bless you Eddie,

Mendes/Brasil

[6Heureka]

Eddie was one of the biggest. Thanks for posting

[ECsweden]

i would do anything to get to go back in time and be there!!

[tempemoore]

This gets better with each listen. I put this right up there with the Beatle's "Rock and Roll Music" as a Chuck Berry cover that's better than the original.

[aronstonebridge]

the best version ever

[Urankar3]

EDDIE 4EVER!!!!!10*

[eugenecraddock]

recorded in february 1960 for the Boy Meets Girl TV show.

[Bopalena]

I don't know if they even had seat belts then. Too bad.

[squeers63]

Eddie THE AUTHENTIC ROCKER

[thomasmantellwilliam]

[nestorgs]

[Pedrooch]

I never heard this version before, but this is by far my favorite version of this song, sorry Chuck.

[eugenecraddock]

[greaser1993]

[BigJiggety]

Few could rock like Eddie! Wasn't familiar with his version.

[kuznezra]

Great !!!!

[PAULLONDEN]

A good case for seat belts, sadly.Eddie could have been here still.

Oh whell......♥

[stephan2467]

R.I.P Eddie. You are still appreciated on Earth where ever U are now. We love U man.

[Bopalena]

He was the best 50s rocker EVER!!! If he lived he woulda showed that Clapton feller a thing or two on the guitar. I went to his grave last year tp pay my respects. Hard to believe I was only 4 when he died.

[ullathorne]

Its just great hearing Eddie playing live. A genius sorely missed. That Gretsch sounded superb.

R.I.P Eddie

[386due]

Classic guitar work! EDDIE rocks!!!!

Jim.

[APcobra03]

[allaboard70]

Very good performance and some great pictures.

[ocduff]

Where was this recorded, and are there more songs from the same set? Sounds SICK!

[dkfelix]

Just look at "About this video" on the webpage

[coupe662]

Yes You´ll find it on his cd "Guitar picker 1954-60", has a lot of other top class music.

[jt123egypte]

Still one of the best versions ever of this Berry classic

[leoseries]

Disappointing. I thought I was going to SEE a live performance. I already have the recording.

[gangerollo]

leoseries, "Disapointing", what planet are you living on? It might bee some forgotten and dusted tapes in the vaults of BBC but no, nada, nilch guarantees given. You know that they made several footages of ED but they overdubbed it I( rnroll still considered a 'fad' ). So if you find any from the 1960 UK tour you call/write/type/scream or send a whithe pidgeon to me. I give you bundle of $ w hatever you get. 'Slippery' Dick may also have something live w/Ed...who knows?

[Goodmolly3000]

Cool!

[frauRastafari]

ui i can play the song, too!!!! its a crazy song when i play it ^^ not so good... when i play it, i play it in a punk version ;o) i think its better than this pop ... but its my imbenian...

byebye alex \,,,/(-.-)\,,,/

[T34M43]

[roscoe008]

Thanks for posting this. I never knew the recording existed and likely would've never heard it otherwise. Eddie was the Real Thing, but all that has been said before.  Thanks again, fine tribute to EC.

[CarlosReus]

One of the true members of Rock and Roll royalty !
