I agree TV today stinks pardon my remark

[rowmaun92]

Anyone know if this episode is available on DVD or VHS?

[iburiedpaul86]

FUCK, Gary Busey is so awesome.

[VirgoGal74]

@iburiedpaul86 He's a hoot. This was filmed before he went completely bonkers :)

[northbeachson]

1 person didn't like the music.

[CapeVerdeanPrincexx]

@northbeachson No, they have NO life lol.

1:57 - 2:04 There's 'no goodbye,' Donna.

[jasBEEEmine]

VH1 should bring shows like this back

[7mandoblu]

@jasBEEEmine  They did. BTM has been back for the past year or 2.

[SomeoneElse39]

@jasBEEEmine Totally agree. Miss these shows. 

[pink7lady84]

thanks for putting this up it's soo sad how young they were at the height of there careers.

[VirgoGal74]

Thanks for posting this! One of the best BTM episodes. Can't believe it's been 12 years since it originally aired on VH1. I once had it on VHS tape recorded from the original airing. Thanks again!

Interesting note - the girl at 3:19 is actually footage of shrieking hysterical Beatles fans (note the guy in the background has sideburns) and the other footage between 1:30 and 1:40 is people mourning when JFK was assassinated

[HearingLossProvider]

@VirgoGal74 I watched this the night it first aired. I remember because I'd just quit my job :P

[TheRMSAndre1]

2:08 NEW FOOTAGE OF RITCHIE VALENS!!! Where did they get that and where can i see it?

[soccergoalkeeper1]

this is soooo fucking awesome!!!!! thanks for posting this!!!!! i've been looking for this!!!!!

[DerekBayRoberts1]

It's kind of ironic for this to happen while Elvis was away in the army.

[DerekBayRoberts1]

I wonder was this the first Rock & Roll fatality? Since rock started in 1955? (even though technicly we always the parts of it for eseveral years befor, i mean since the term "Rock & Roll" was first used)

[027220]

@billyballs68 Look at the wreath on the left.

[027220]

@billyballs68 Allright.

[027220]

@billyballs68 Sorry I doubted you, you were right. I should have my head examined for that.

[D4RkxGAMING]

but it had to be my 3 most favorite people in the world a once

[bvmjoe]

I would like to know if there is a way to get the DVD on this?

[spideygurl79]

ok finally now i can watch the whole thing with sound ty :)

[027220]

Is this emailable?

[spideygurl79]

this part needs to be re uploaded with sound this is the only place i found the entire original show...please re upload this part i can't understand why all the other parts have sound and this one does not

[atikker]

@lmos26 You are fucking awesome, thank you very much. And yes, a huge FUCK YOU to the "unauthorized" track usage. Such bullshit. Who the fuck do they think is profiting from a goddamn You Tube video?!?!?! They don't care that no one is, just that they aren't. Assholes.

[lmos26]

@atikker

Your welcome :) I couldn't agree more with ya more. All these big media/music corporations always have to coat everything in a thick slime of greed! My dream in life is to one day torch a Super Walmart and watch it burn! ;)

[razorath92]

@lmos26 That sounds badass. I'd help.
