It’s fantastic isn’t it. My parents near enough dragged me when I was 15 years old. I thought I didn’t know any Buddy Holly songs but I realised I did and loved it. I’m now 49 and have seen it 5 times. I actually saw these actors too in Manchester.
I had the privelidge to see this show at the Strand Theatre with this cast. It was, quite frankly the best live show I have ever seen. Actors who were all musicians of quality, playing Buddy's song. It was humbling to be in the audience.
Never commented on YT before, but feel that fans old & new might like to know that I saw Buddy and the Crickets perform in Ipswich, UK on their British tour in March 1958..... Blew my 16 year old mind! I can still remember how devastated I was on arriving at school the following year to be told by classmates of the crash. Was lucky enough to get the autographs of all three at the 58 concert, Buddy, Joe and Jerry, and it is only recently, after some 70 odd years that I have auctioned them off to pay for a great-grandson's education.... would you believe, they finished up in the hands of a fan from Lubbock, Texas!! I remain a 79 year old rocker, with some great memories.
Wow wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate music from the 50’s Though the 80’s. It’s not what it’s used to be. My kids are not allowed to listen to anything with bad words and if it talks about sex. Basically everything today. They have a great love and appreciation for the classics. This era of music will never die.
I had the pleasure of seeing Angus (Gus) MacGregor play Buddy Holly twice at the Strand Theater in London. What an incredible show and Gus really nailed the role as Buddy.
This sounds like someone who has never been in the South ever, attempting to make a cornpone accent that they heard in a movie. It's atrocious. Buddy Holly sounded nothing like this, nor did any other human being that ever lived. Are the Brits really that out of touch?
Wish bring back classic hits songs of 1950s and 1960s and 1970s and 1980s in Roller Skate. Fans enjoy listen to back then: not all junk music can’t understand words. Thank You. Love this video clip. Keep on Rocking N Rolling though years.
"Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day when I die" God bless you! ฉันรักคุณ
He wanted to play Rock and Roll so bad, my first few songs I learned on guitar were Buddy`s Songs, I still play them and now I have amassed over 20 of his songs and people still love him
One of the best contemporary musicals I have ever seen in London: three times with different groups of people and every time with a larger group of people who had seen the show at least once before. Well before the end of the show people were 'hoppin 'n boppin' in the rows, aisles, basically anywhere where there was space to dance - all delirious in happiness irrespective of age....
I grew up with Buddy Holly in Lubbock, TX. Iam in the process of doing a tribute to Buddy Peggy Sue Gerron & his last car a 1958 Impala !!!!! I,m friends with Peggy Sue !!!!!!!!!!!!
@@silastengler6750 Everly brother where better singer technically but buddy holly is in my mind like Bob Dylan not a great technical singing voice but nevertheless musically talented
Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Bill Haley, and Jerry Lee Lewis all deserve to be up there in the very top tier with the 4 you've named - as do the backing musicians who were vital to the sound, although less well known to the general public: Scotty Moore, Bill Black, Cliff Gallup, Rudy Pompilli, Franny Beecher, Jerry Allison, Joe B Mauldin... and many more. You also need to credit the vital roles played by people like Jerry Lieber, Mike Stoller, and Sam Philips.
That'll be The Day - the first 45 I bought and it changed music at Alleyne's!. He taught us how to play in A. Crikey, we owe him so much and he did it in such a short time.
When you sit in that seat in the theatre and they play like this....MAN! You really feel the impact rock n' roll music had on people back in the '50s. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck when I saw this, and the same for the Elvis story when they played That's All Right
I remember the announcement of the plane crash coming over WMGM in New York. I've followed Buddy Holly since before then. His music was just so damn good! I find his following today is in part because we wish, try to wish, that plane crash away. That four young boys might come walking back into the present day, warm, alive, and productive. Something indefinable was lost on February 03, 1959. It was a future of powerfully written rock and roll unparalleled by any other writer performer. So much similar for Ritchie and J.P. We lost the future of music, yet to be experienced.
Descubri a Buddy Holly gracias a The Beatles y ahora entiendo por que era su idolo,nadie compuso tantas canciones tan bonitas en tan corto pedido de tiempo
I once worked as a stagehand in Okc I worked a run (one week) showcall props ( proptart, propsitute) I could go on I wont Anywho one day backstage after the day show I was playing my guitar and the actors /musicians were walking around with their instruments well we had an informal jam sessions WOW! best memory when we finished there was a big crowd. Good times
I cant get over how well his voice is just like buddy holly, best in my eyes, even guitar, sounds just like the way he plays and acts, excellent job ! AA +++++ Ive seen other guys try to pull this of, they dont even come close to this guy, this guy kinda looks like buddy holly, well done!
I’ve noticed Bob Dylan shakin his leg like that when he’s rockin’ out. A Buddy Holly concert he attended as a young man, made a huge impression on him.
I don't deny anything you wrote but your implication is that Dylan got the move from Holly and I doubt that. To shake your leg with the beat of the music, especially a strong beat, is natural and universal for guitarists.
Movies and Stage production's always take liberty's of changing the story. Probably ask someone who was there. For the TRUTH! Gary did a great job and this young man did the best he could. They just portray what the producer want them too. Can't blame the actor's. Just let them act and go along with the program. Buddy would love it! R.I.P. Buddy, Richie and The Big Bobber! Shawn.

I got this on video vhs, and I wish i could watch it again, since the video player doesn't work no more. Would love to see this version on a dvd, then I could watch it over again!
i said it before, this guy is dam good, his voice sounds just like buddy hooly, the best in my eyes, great job. woundering if you still play, and where, love this music.
That's was a great song it feels like the one and only buddy holly was there we sure do miss him he was the king of the 50's and wish that feb-03-1959 didn't happen and where can you get this video on I tunes so keep the 50's music alive rock n roll
I'm of the year 3214 this Buddy Holly is among our very favorites. Music has been outlawed for the most part but there are still quite a few of us that just can't let go of music. It is just too important to us. If we get caught we are fined and then restricted to our domiciles for a period of no less than two months and then we are refered to the dreaded BLVR, "Board of Law Violation Reducation" Many people are physically tortured and many have just disappeared and those that do come back are as if their soul was sucked out of them, they some how lose their personalities is the best that I can explain it. Anyway I've been on here way too long, I pray that people see this in your time and they heed this all, it can all be prevented if people would have just stood Together and fight against anything even remotely resembling socialism, that's how all of this started from what my Grandpa told me. I hope whomevers account I'm using to send this isn't too upset it's the only way I can get it through without severe repercussions. Fight the good fight before it's too late..
His family are deeply religious southerners and that was something that came straight from his Mother (on a TV show, I saw) & the Crickets have said the same about him. In the 50s, the bible belt was serious about those things... Jim Crow and lynchings aside :s
As much as I liked the 1978 movie The Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey, most of us know that it was pretty far from the REAL Buddy Holly story. The West end show should be made into a movie for 2018!
My brother brought this record a 45 RPM - around 1958 - intended for his girl friend who he later married, and I jacked up his stereo record player - which woke up or dad who was napping.... and he got real angry!
