"The one & only true king of rock 'n roll". (Disgo Magazine) "Maybe the best rock & roll concert ever, Bill Haley did it in 1979 at his last tour in the UK!" (Disgo Magazine).
In 1979 I was 17, Bill Haley was my hero then, so when I heard he and the Comets were playing at the Royalty, I had to go!
I'm so happy it was recorded, what a great night! Already I've spotted a couple of friends in the audience and will continue to scrub through these videos until I find myself in the crowd.
I was there, at the Royalty in Southgate. This was Bills first gig on his 79 UK tour. I'll never forget the exitement he generated. This guy was a true rock star. Most critics who knock Haley don't have a clue what they are talking about. As you can hear, Bill was in terrific voice, and he also looked great! There will NEVER be his kind again.
Absolutely excellent, I went to see Bill Haley live in Harrogate, Yorkshire with a group of Leeds Teddy Boys in 1979 on one of Bill's last appearances in England. Thank goodness I did see the legend before he passed on.

A great clip, but a bit of a correction, as this was filmed for the movie Blue Suede Shoes at a club in London, not Yarmouth.
