  • Hi Samantha. Someone has already beaten you too it re pointing out to me that the person shown is not Gary Busey. Look over earlier responses to find them. However, that is not the point that I am making. See my reply to Ninevah. Actually, I don't care who it is. It has been put with pictures of Buddy, which is misleading.

  • Hi Ninevah. OK, I stand corrected. However, the point I was making is that this image/photo should not be included on a lot of real shots of Buddy Holly. The implication/hope is that it will be accepted as a real shot by those unable to tell the difference, and there are many people now who would not realize that the shot is not Buddy. Remove it from the collection of real Buddy Holly shots! It is misleading and a bit dishonest. And why was it put in with genuine shots?

  • lol

    

  • People criticizing this performance should take into consideration this is a real stage play with music. They couldn't just cast a jobbing impersonator. They had to have an actor/musician who could go from teen hopeful to successful musician and husband, able to do romance, comic timing (there's loads of comedy in the show) and showmanship. Six shows a week. LIVE. Texan accent all the way. Gus was the best for the job. I think he's superb, anyway.

  • i would do anything to have beeen there!

  • Sigh....God it was good then.

  • 64 people are justin bieber fans. greetings from Poland :)

  • That's not even Buddy Holly there was no color cameras back than.Good song but its not even Buddy Holly. Buddy also didn't move like that he was very calm only moved his leg look for the videos in black and white that's Buddy Holly

  • I love the bass player XD. I didn't realize stand up bass could be so fun. I'm gonna make my bass player buy one XD

  • What a pile of shit and an insult to Buddy Holly!

  • 62 personas oh boy!!!!!!!!!

  • I suppose you know that this is not Buddy Holly? It's Gary Busey who played him in the film.

  • @albertanglo No, actually it's the brilliant Gus McGregor who played him in the stage show for years, London and tours. I was once one of the Apollo players. Gus was my fave Buddy (and I played with 7 of them!)

  • @albertanglo this is not busey, search for him as holly at the apollo, lol

  • @albertanglo No. You're wrong. It's not the real Buddy Holly but it's not Gary Busey either.

  • 62 personas se pueden ir bien a la re concha de su madre.. o tomarse una avioneta con roger paterson como piloto jeje..

  • this is stupid

  • wow 

  • This is absolute RUBBISH. Did this idiot ever listen to Buddy. Just about the worst effort of all time. Can some one tell me what's wrong with his right  leg. There will only ever be one BUDDY HOLLY.

  • nice song, watch my account for this number sung by the Dutch group Higway...grtz

  • With all respect... this sucks!

    Buddy Holly is Buddy Holly

  • @agamass You realise the lead in this musical could not just be a soundalike impersonator? The actor has to be able to play guitar, act - from teen hopeful to successful musician, husband and businessman; there's a proper script, you know, not just songs! - do comedy and give at least a reasonable Texan accent, six shows a week, live, perfectly. All things considered, Gus is clearly the best man for the (very difficult) job at time of performance.

  • amazing id love to hear all of the 'oh boy'' covers/ performances!

  • 1:22

  • RIP BUDDY HOLLY from an inspired youngster from Lubbock Texas we miss him dearly

  • that man is playing a double bass upside down, your argument is invalid

    

  • best song

    

  • Dear uploader... just thought I'd put that video response (Gus MacGregor - Lifeline) of me playing one of my own tunes. It seems like a long time ago that I did Buddy. Way before Youtube..lol. I don't get anything close to doing him justice.... but I'm still proud of the small part I played in keeping his legend alive. I've enjoyed reading the comments here.. good and bad. Gus

  • @gusmacgregormusic Good for you, Gus. I personally always had you down as my fave Buddy. Alex Bourne a close second.  It's far from the easiest role in the world, and perhaps people disparaging you here don't realise the work it took, singing, playing (live and real), acting a whole range of emotions, including doing comedy, doing a Texan accent, night after night. They couldn't just put a soundalike who sounded like Buddy but couldn't act or play guitar up there.

  • Is he really Buddy??

  • is this really him?

  • @adriangstern I'm 11 and even I know who this guy is ffs

  • take Justin biever and give us Buddy Holly back god :(

  • Nobody does it like Buddy. This guy tries......no dice.

  • who the hell is this?

  • Love Buddy, but the Crickets were raw rock n roll - This is total f-r-o-m-a-g-e

  • hes better than buddy holly

  • @tubeinyou23 blaspheme

  • Suppppppppper

    

  • this is at the strand theatre

  • is that angus macgregor

  • I wonder how Buddy holly and Michael Jackson might have intertwined there music had he been around as Michael come into his own I know that a stretch of the imagination but everything Michael did was a stretch at those times

  • IT sucks we lost both him and Richie at such a young age at the same time

  • Brian Setzer was good!!

  • If i am correct, Buddy Holly was considered black by the black community until they played at the Apollo XD.  They thought the band was black. Still awesome song!

  • @BrickAppleStudios That guy is a BOSS.

  • :07 keep watching that over and over without laughing, i only made it up to 2 lmfao

  • I´m sorry to say but Buddy was better than this :P

  • @1939PlymouthRatRod2 Bull-F-ing-shit

  • For all u people who think buddy isn't this good fucken shit hes the best there's everben

  • wow!

  • yep, he's better live

  • you're joking, right? you want us to belive that was buddy? : -)

  • @1939PlymouthRatRod2 You're kidding me right? Nobody can do "exactly" or better than what Buddy did.

  • Love this video and Buddy skipping around the stage.

  • MORE OF A COMEDY SHOW SEEN THESE SHOWS ALL ROUND THE COUNTRY AN THEY WAY TO OVER THE TOP SPOILS IT

  • good-vocalist-and-guitar-bit-o­ver-the-top-ruined-it-for-me

  • the bassist is a genious

  • I think the BEST Bassist I have ever seen is a guy called Jarrod Coombes,from somewhere down south(Kent?) in England UK, He is in a band called 'Hullabaloo',also has been in a band called 'The Keytones' for over 20 years,he can play that Bass like no other! AND he is the lead vocalist too!

  • @memphistube Don't quote me,but I THINK these are his websites: thekeytones-dot-co-dot-uk & hullabaloo-uk-dot-com Enjoy! ; )

  • @memphistube now that s rare!!

  • That bassist rocks!!!!

  • 54 people are stupid and are born in the 21st century buddy for the win lmfao

  • i love buddy holly, so sad he died in a plane. everytime someone plays rock you live on. rip buddy 9(:

  • nice rock and roll

  • Oh my God!!! The whole band is pure COOLNESS!!!!!!!

  • There was a point were the bassist was fucking the bass lmfao...

  • @dialaname Fucking the bass is actually right. i wish i was that bassist lol jk jk xD

  • the trumper twirl was aces

  • Shit that was cool, I didn't know they did all that badass stuff on stage in the '50s.

  • Disgrace to buddy holly

  • that bassist needs to calm down, good video though

  • ritchie valens did better i'm sorry it's true

  • I'm watching the movie "The Buddy Holly Story", great movie..

  • i dont even wana know what the base player did with that after the show. seing what he did to his bass on stage = /

  • Lou Diamond Philips FTW

  • goood job

    

  • Nice song

  • look at the double bass player trying to get attention

  • why did this fella died so young ??????? 2011 still a classic thanks

  • How should I take this as a Buddy-fan…?

  • @joriszsz take it as rock and roll.

  • Not even close to Buddy Holly

  • Am learning about him in music!!!! :P

  • @Louselfyx well i doubt i need to say this next bit but.........enjoy ;)

  • Probably even better than the original, well done and Rock n Roll live on forever.

  • is this realy him?

  • lol yeah this guy in no way , shape, or form reminds me of Buddy Holly. I like the gesture, but this was horrible.

  • <3 

  • This isn't the real Buddy Holly it was some Tribute Concert

  • What's that coming out of my screen? Oh yes, Cheez whiz.

  • This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, not to mention a horrible disgrace to the legacy of Buddy Holly. Shameful.

  • Why has this guy tried to make Buddy sound like a proper redneck?

  • You may also like to check out our Hey Buddy book trailer video on Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=Ppf6URswTP­E 

  • is it the real buddy holly?

  • @joeycitybaby No, this is not the real Buddy Holly. The real Buddy Holly was killed in a plane crash on Feb 03, 1959. This is just a Buddy Holly tribute show, by someone imitating the real Buddy Holly. From his accent, the guy playing Buddy sounds English trying to have a Texas accent.

  • @EbonyBunny1 aha,I see.Yeah,I know the story,but I couldn't figure out if this was the real one.thanks for your interest

  • @joeycitybaby Your Welcome

  • Looks more like Jerry Lewis. Buddy was more original, more natural and improved rapidly with help from studio directors. He wasn't a jumping around idiot.

  • this is appaling.

    the god on earth that is buddy holly is turning in his grave

  • @BrothersRifle Utter nonsense. The Buddy Holly Musical was brilliant.

  • I'm sorry, but this if awful.

    The "Buddy Holly" just sounds nerdy and annoying if anything.

  • that guying playing the upright is my fuckin hero....

  • GREAT!

  • I just watched this again, and is the band even really playing the song? The guy singing is doing a fine job actually, but the Bass player is horseplaying way too damn much, Slap the damn strings and stop rolling around on the floor with the bass, the guy did that once in the Movie, not for half of the song.

  • I DONT MEAN TO DISRESPECT HIM R.I.P BUT LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS DID BETTER IN SINGING OH BOY

  • @TheRatedrko12 When did Lou Diamond Phillips ever sing a Buddy Holly song, or sing at all? He played Ritchie Valens in "La Bamba" but did not do the singing (Los Lobos performed the Ritchie Valens songs in the film).

  • @RobertJeffreyMiller He sang "Oh Boy" at that bar his mother got him a gig at because she knew that bartender, on the movie. his brother plays drums with him in the scene

  • Comment removed

  • @FreddyBone17 Ah yes, you are correct. I had to check the DVD as I had forgotten about that. However, as with all of the Valens songs in the movie, it's not Lou Diamond Phillips' voice singing "Oh, Boy!", it's David Hidalgo of Los Lobos.

    (sorry for the deletion, I had a typo in the original response)

  • @RobertJeffreyMiller yes lou did sing in la bamba

  • @TheRatedrko12 Whereabouts?

  • @TheRatedrko12 ...and people, once again, this is NOT Buddy Holly!

  • WOW buddy holly was such a great performer this video exemplifies that! RIP

    no one like the real buddy holly... but nice try

  • @coolhanddean

    Wooo there, while imitation is a form of flattery -without Buddy Holly doing the original, what would there be to imitate? Buddy Holly -the original!! The REAL DEAL!!

  • @coolhanddean True but they ain't bad--ha

  • awesome

  • HOW AWESOME IS THIS??? 8D

  • just wanted to ask how it can be color tv. ok, i got it before asking :)

  • I like it!

  • Weaker Than Circus lemonade...

  • It's a shame to see such a great artist lampooned in this way.

  • Brilliant evocation of Buddy Holly and the Crickets (from one who grew up hearing the originals). Bravo! Buddy Holly would have been proud of you!

  • Absolute Scheiße. Der Mann ist Tod. Also lasst ihn, macht doch keinen Clown aus ihm. Buddy & Robert R.I.P.

  • Buddy Holly is the best singer ever

  • hate the buddy impersonators voice

  • i think personally that this a perfect representation of buddy holly's live performance and i should know i saw him thirteen times performing live

  • These guys are havin fun. i don't care if its an imitation. and who says you can't rock a double bass!

  • I never new this was an imitation! Do you know who the imitator is?!?!

  • @TheNolanator97 HELLOOOOO JAMIEEE!

  • @iiMoRTaLGaming Lol, It's a TUNEEEE

  • slapp it the bass mann!

  • Awesome!

  • Awesome.He really looks,moves and sounds like mr Buddy Holly.This was one of the greatest imitators of Buddy i have ever seen.

  • @elvisjimpa100 Evidently you have never seen footage of the real Buddy Holly or heard any of his music. This guy does not look or sound like Buddy Holly (too nasal) and moves around like he's imitating Britney Spears or something.

  • @KookyCanuck I have been an Buddy fan sins i was 3 and the same goes with Elvis.You got your opinion.I respect that.

  • Great Job!!!

  • Hey Buddy, rock on!!!

  • lol the bass player was released from the alysum at the open day lol

  • His bass player never hit the floor. Trust me

  • only he can make those glasses look cool

  • Why do they try to take every song over the top, this is like a Buddy Holly Circus..

  • @Khaos696 You're right! I saw this movie when it came out and thought Busey did a pretty good job. But looking at this clip right now - it is ridiculous. Holly didn't perform jumping around like that at all. I guess the director thought the real Buddy Holly wasn't exciting enough for the movie going auduence.

  • R.I.P. Mr. Buddy Holly!

  • iplay the bass and am 12 and love their bass player!

  • That isn't buddy

  • @Cleeb1 Duh.

  • @Cleeb1

    twat

  • @Cleeb1 

  • buddy holly rocks

  • I bought the VHS version a couple of months back. It's a wonder the tape hasn't wrecked because of the amount of times I watch it. It's my favourite VHS I've got. I love the ending and my favourite song from the musical is 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore'. I would love somebody to upload it, thanks for uploading anyway. By the way I'm 15 and I love Rock 'N' Roll, Rockabilly, 50s country music. I've just received a pair of Buddy like glasses which I bought months ago. I'm a massive Holly fan!

  • That ant Buddy.

  • einfach genial

  • im huge buddy holly fan

  • cannot believe the camera quality here. for being from 50s/60s it is utterly amazing how clear it looks and without any speed issues like it was filmed yesterday by modern cameras.

  • @redgrant63 um. you know this isnt form the 50's right? it says in the description its a musical about buddy holly
