En effet, j'ai vu cette formation live au théâtre de Wolfsburg/ Basse Saxe/ Allemagne- et je dois dire que the Bill Haley show was a very great succes! Tout le monde était enthousiasmé par cet hommage à Bill Haley.
Awesome: Did anyone hear the incredible lead guitar solo? That bass player balancing on his instrument was pretty cool. He also played in tune consistently.
Sounds more like the 1940's "be bop" than 1950's Rock music....I saw Bill Haley & the Comets in 1956....he was traveling with a multitude of other acts...so loud you couldn't hear for all the audience screaming....
he and the Comets were a western swing band from Chester P.A., in some of their recordings you can here the western swing (cowboy) swing elements that were prominent in their rep. earlier on
Bill Haley's Version is good and but Big Joe Turner's Version is more clean. After all Big Joe recorded it first (Feb/1954) , Bill did not record it till (June/1954). Which was the same month Joe's version went to #1 on R&B.
Hi, Veritaseek....I graduated from high school in 1959.......Those days were so exciting. I can remember where I was when Elvis' Don't Be Cruel came out....People don't realize how it was to go from Perry Como to Elvis almost over night......And they taught us how to spell and puncutate correctly in those days, too.
"bill haley was born in michigan and alan freed was born in pennsylvania." Digression: And Wynonie Harris was born in Nebraska and Jimmy Preston in Pennsylvania: The influence of Southerners on the rise of rock and roll is overrated.
I agree....Rock n roll came together in the north.Chuck berry would of never made it in the south....he had to go to chess recoreds.Just like jimi hendrix had to go to the UK to become known.Chess recoreds and Alen freed helped Rock n roll to become known all over America.
This, as read on the Darabont´s script for Indy 4, was the opening sequence theme, instead of Elvis Presley´s HOUND DOG... Great Scott!!!!!!!! By the beards of Zeus!!!!!! Arroz!!!!!!!
Alan Freed, the guy whose life was completely destroyed for what goes on today a million times worse. "Madonna and Justin Timberlake are #1" Yeah, Ok, yet nobody knows anyone who bought them. Payola is so out of control today the music industry doesn`t even exist anymore. It`s a whore for money industry.
"A Louis Jordan wannabe." There's not nearly as much connection between Jordan and Haley as some people suggest. Haley was more influenced by the 1949-1952 R&B recordings of artists who sounded more like Jimmy Preston ("Rock The Joint"), Jackie Brenston ("Rocket 88"), and the Treniers ("Rockin' Is Our Business").
Fantastic video! Just a correction to Digirockben: Catarina Valente has every right be included here, considering she performed with Haley and the Comets on "Vive la Rock and Roll" in the German movie, which was also the only 1950s Haley film shot in color. And to have someone who was as big in her day as Steisand was in her's perform with a rock and roll group have the band a level of legitimacy never seen before. OTOH Haley never actually performed with Little Richard.
Congratulations! What a wonderful tribute to the great man. I wish you much success and hope that one day the Bill Haley Orchestra performs in the UK.
A greate tribute to the king of rock ,Bill Haley , Catarine Valente has nothing to do with bill haleys carrie he act in astupid german movie ,he play hot dog buddy buddy,vive la rock and roll,2 great songs.

It is so nice there is a video media such as
YouTube to showcase old, classics such as
"Shake, Rattle, and Roll" which my granddad
(Jesse Stone, aka Charles Calhoun) wrote. He was a quiet man who helped start Atlantic
Records as their "music man". Please don't
point fingers at each other now. Just enjoy the genius of All the contributors who have
gone on and helped make that era one of the
greatest we have heard. Keep rockin' !

Almost all the 50's rockers recorded shake rattle and roll which is a classic -- the worst was Fats Domino

The original recording of "Shake, Rattle and Roll" was by Big Joe Turner. And how come Fats Domino was the worst? Fats Domino was great
