Norman Petty was a thief and manipulate some young kids into putting his name on everything so HE could collect the thousands of dollars, by todays standards millions ! Maria Ellana is on record as saying they confronted him but still was not able to get Buddy's money and had to start leagle action. HE NORMAN PETTY drove Buddy to take the horrible tour in the fridged north during winter and caused his death..
2:23 "I just emptied a box last night", then he gets a Jim Beam box.....great stuff, and even greater playing. Is it just me or was drum playing better back then?
Something like 'Well Alright' is stunningly simple, particularly the ride symbol which really gives the song it's distinctive momentum.....musicians generally speaking are just to full of it to try things that basic....but they're often the things which make recordings special and distinctive....RIP Buddy.
@clean3 'Peggy Sue'....all down-strokes....simplicity itself, and yet just so exciting; anything else just wouldn't have been right. I've seen so called brilliant guitar players over complicating it because their egos couldn't deal with the simplicity of it.....needless to say they sounded like s**t.
@allexx123 Because that movie was far far beyond inaccurate in many ways. I reccomend searching out a book called "Remembering Buddy". It's out of print now but I found it at my library.
You say 1 through 10, but all I found was 1 2 and 5.? Great video but it would be good to see the rest

That's the reason why Macca made this film, because the biopic was so far off the mark.

Dammit, if Jerry isn't ridiculously underrated for his contributions to rock and roll drumming. He still had "it" at this point, too.

The fourth guy in the video clip was Niki Sullivan who left the Crickets at the end of 1957

Jerry is the greatest - how could a band with him in not go places?

Why is it that the 4th guy ( guitar player) in the Holly band was not included in the 1978 Buddy Holly Story movie ?

I like how Jerry is using the end of the stick, not the tip, during the Peggy Sue live performance.

Man, the crickets are some super talented musicians. This doc is worth watching just for their demonstrations!
