Yes tou are right.
Bill had lost his old friend and sax player
Rudy Pompilli earlier that year 1976.
George Baker was a bad replacement.
Luckily,he never toured with Bill.
he just did a few TV shows.

Hi Chimbo,
George Baker actually was a very good sax player-that one video of him in Austria just happened to be early on the tour, and the band was still jet-lagged. He did do one tour with Haley for 5 weeks in Europe back in November/December 1976.
He learned that entire show in just 2 weeks--so I know he's a great player. I'm the guy who trained him. But of course, NOBODY could ever replace Rudy.

Hi Pickinbuddy.
Ok and thanks for the info.
Of course George Baker was better
later on.And I do respect that you trained him.
It was just "See You Later Alligator"
that you could see on Bills face that he was`nt happy.
I am sure he missed Rudy.
Take care.

Wow! What a find!!!! This is great footage, because there's very little of Bill Haley after the 1950's black and white footage. I always think about what guys like him and Elvis would be doing today. Music just don't sound that good today. I mean, REAL rock and roll.
