Twenty Flight Rock - BUDDY HOLLY LIVES!

THE LIGHTER SIDE of BUDDY HOLLY LIVES! The boys joking and having fun with the audience on February 3, 2009 (the 50th anniversary of Buddy's last performance) at the Market Hall in Peterborough in front of a sold out house. Joe B. tells the story about how the Crickets got their name and about Eddie Cochran whose Gretsch guitar Buddy is playing as he does one of Eddie's songs. You can see the stage banter and one of "Buddy's (Dave) rare extended guitar solos.

I have always l♥ved this song too. Nice lead and I thought I heard a little Bill Haley in the Comets in there if I'm not wrong during one of the lead sections.
