I was at Clear Lake for the 40th anniversary concert of the last appearance of Buddy, Ritchie and the Bopper. What bittersweet memories! I loved Buddy more than any other rock icon. John Mueller did such a great job that night in Iowa. I saw the musical "Buddy" in London in 1992. The Brits were dancing in the aisles!!!
I saw this show at the Mt Gretna playhouse in Mt Gretna PA on Friday June 5 and all I can say is WOW.Buddy,Ritchie and the Bopper were great.The band was on all night and everyone had a great time. I wasn't born until 1962 but I have always loved this music and these guys did not disapoint. I felt I was there at the winter dance party and I can see why they call this the day the music died..Keep up the great work guys and I hope to see the winter dance party again.
Hi All- If you ever get the opportunity to check this group out in person....don't miss it.....(Caught them last night at Mohegan Sun Casino and the hour and 1/2 drive was more than worth it...."them boys is fabolus".....I could imagine myself 50 years ago at that concert and "got lost in the 50's" for one evening....AWESOME entertainers/musicians....THE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE ! ! ! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES............
I was there at the original concert 2/2/59 at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, IA, and the "50 Winters Later" reunion concerts earlier this month where I saw these guys. They have it the closest to how it really was I've ever seen!
Nice music, but why don't they use a bass player who looks like Waylon Jennings, and a guitarist who looks like Tommy Alsup? Why the standup bass when they didn't use that on the tour? And why not have Buddy wearing the ascot and suit that he wore during the real WDP tour? I'm surprised that these obvious costume and instrument choices were overlooked.

A fantastic tribute to Buddy, Ritchie, and the Big Bopper by some very, very talented performers. John Mueller's Winter Dance Party is a "must see."
