Buddy Holly - That'll Be The Day - Live on Sunday Night at the London Palladium (2nd March, 1958)

Part of Buddy's UK Tour Buddy sings That'll Be The Day live on UK Television, unfortunately someone at the BBC wiped the original footage, meaning all that's left is telesnaps. This was famously watched by a young John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

i think that if he lived longer he would have been the true king of rock n roll

What a shame that there is millions of hours of footage of acts with no talent, and Holly fans have to settle for scraps. Thanx for the post. Been a Holly fan for 30 years, never heard it before!

@jsmyers24151 When someone says the "KING', we both know who they mean. He was in the right place at the right time, no doubt.

@jsmyers24151 Not many acts were bigger than Elvis...probably The Beatles were the only ones to really top him in terms of popularity. Maybe there are a few artists here or there that may top them in a certain sales category, but no artists impacted the culture like Elvis or The Beatles. Elvis did have a lot of crap, but his Sun Sessions compilation and his first self-titled record on RCA are indeed worth getting and are awesome listens. And Elvis had a huge impact on Buddy as well.

@jsmyers24151 You're entitled to your opinion sir!

[jsmyers24151]

@flight105 Being bigger than Elvis was not hard to achieve; the Beatles knocked Elvis off his perch by 1963 in the UK, and in 1964 here in the US. You can count all of Elvis' good songs on one hand, and still have a couple of fingers left. Not a big Elvis fan.

@MrPJ1954 Very true. Also, IMHO, If Buddy had lived, he'd have been bigger than Elvis!

[MrPJ1954]

As much credit as Buddy Holly along with the other early music heroes get, they are still underrated. We tend to forget that they were the trailblazers and innovators.

Check out some of the music instruction books that are available. How many were available in the 1950's? I rest my case.

Compared to the 1950's, it is so much easier to become a musical genius.

@MrPJ1954 You have it right! Original Crickets line-up was Buddy, Nikki Sullivan, Joe Mauldin, Jerry Allison. But by the time of the 1958 UK tour, Sullivan had left the group. He is on the cover photo of the original Crickets LP, though, which I bought in 1958, and still have. Buddy was indeed the first major artist to use the Fender Stratocaster, and he was a very good guitarist.

@NostalgicTimeMan

It Doesn't Matter Anymore probably wasn't the last thing that Buddy Holly recorded.

I'm not sure what his last recording was.

[NostalgicTimeMan]

@MrPJ1954 No I know the difference but are you saying that It Doesn't Matter Anymore was the very last thing he recorded?
