This brings back memories of when I was about 13. My parents took us to Town Hall Party. I believe the piano player was blind. Don't know his name. Bob Luman who at times lived across the street from us, was a friend of Ricky Nelson. They used to ride their motorcycles down our street. We girls just prayed that one of them would hit us, we were so in love with them...
The piano player and the guitar player are amazing ! Because of they I think it's the best rendition of this song ever. Even better than Elvis and Little Richard.
That lead break is from Rock Around the Clock. What a class combination of musicians, great job everyone. In my opinion the best version of this song is Buddy hollys cover version, however i HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!
promagnum: I don't know, but what about Bob's suit and shoes? I'll bet they're rotting away next to an empty jar of Dippity Dew, and the top half of a Barbie doll that now houses a big red millipede!
wow what a great performance from everyone on that stage,they looked to be having such fun.& as for the pianno player,well i was expecting the pianno to go bang,as it looked a bit rickety lol.
Rock Around the Clock was recorded in April 1954, three months before Elvis recorded his first rockabilly. Bob Luman, like many country artists at that time were influenced by seeing Elvis perform. Elvis did nine one-nighters in a row in the Kilgore area, and Bob Luman went to every one of them. He said "That's the last time I tried to sing like Webb Pierce or Lefty Frizzell". Bob Luman first recorded in 1955.
