That is the day the music died. I'm 73 now and I listened to all of these musicians in my youth. They inspired me to be the best musician I could be. But, I never took advantage of my talents. To the youth I want to say, go for all of it. Never let anything or anyone get in front of your dreams.

This is the best performance of Buddy Holly’s music, EVER!! I was 14 when Buddy died and most rock ‘n’ roll radio stations were playing his music wall-to-wall for, at least, a couple of days. May he continue to RIP.

Fantastic film I was born 57 so grew up listening to buddy's music and to this day still sends goose bumps . and sends a tear down my cheek brilliant artist we lost to soon .

This guy should be proud that he sounds and looks like Buddy.

This singer would make Buddy Holly so proud! He sounds just like him. RIP Buddy Holly! Great performance!!!

I am 28 and this is my favorite era of life and music

This is the only music that allows this 75 year old bike/row for 50 min. non-stop!Thanks Buddy eternally!!!!

And to think poor richie died on the toss of a coin , how tragic , they were sooo young , buddy was so talented to think he wrote those timeless R n R songs before the age of twenty three

His music will live on in all of us. He was a genius. Just a tremendous gifted and talented man.

My absolute favourite play! I first saw it when I was 15 (1988) at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto and I've seen it every time it plays in the Toronto area ever since, at least 30 times! The first time I saw it there were security guards in the balcony telling us we couldn't dance because we'd shake the building off its foundation. Buddy played for many months and when it closed the theatre had to be closed for repairs! Another time I saw it the applause was so wild at the end Buddy came out to do 5 encores! At the last one he said "You guys are amazing! This is going to be my last one! I'm supposed to be dead!" LOL! What an awesome play!

Great Buddy Holly Tribute! I've been performing an Ultimate Tribute Extravaganza show for 25 years....glad to see others doing it and bringing back the REAL music to the people!

Now that was a show!!!

i also was born in1957 and grew up listening to buddy and all the others and still do better than what we have today. think them lads hit it off fantastic well done like to see the full film.

Excellent rendition of an Era that will last threw eternity. Great wonderful musicians. Thank you

I understand the words An I Can Dance to all his music with no nasty words I sm 73years old

I was born in 58 and I still listen to Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens. It's still so hard to believe when this concert was over it all ended. It was such a tragedy.

This is obviously The Buddy Holly Story musical. Fabulous in person - do not miss it.

These entertainers are fabulous. This is a great showl

I remember hearing the radio report of the plane crash . I really liked his music .

A very good concert show they put on .

Remembering the mythical performance in the Apollo Theatre!!!

Buddy holly and Ritchie valens and the big bopper are good rock and roll singers

Is 2022 and his music keep him alive all these years and keep me alive to thank you buddy holly

Buddy - a true legend . I hate the way That was NOT Valenzuela…. Valens is portrayed poorly - he wasn’t crotch barring, back side wriggle performer . He played lead guitar He played the guitar - and performed like Buddy . Buddy wax his mentor

I was born in 61... never listened to him until 1998.... he was...still is phenomenal ... I feel cheated yet fulfilled to find his GENIUS... HE LIVES FOREVER....SO BE IT!

Raining in my heart was awesome , nice job by all ! Great horn players too!

I was born3/58. I had 2 older sisters. I was told whenever Buddy Holly or the Everly Brothers came on I giggled and laughed. I still love listening to them I was lucky enough to meet Phil in 1988. I was also lucky to see the Everly warming up in 1968 and and the reunion conconcert in Cincinnati in 84. And in Cleveland in 85. May they all be at peace in heaven. They all left us with so much to remember them by.

I wish I could’ve seen the genius buddy holly in concert.

The day the music died.1959 Iowa cornfield,, we lost some wonderful musicians in that plane crash. I wonder if buddy knew they would still be playing his music 63 yrs later!. I was ten yrs old then and it still makes me cry.thank you so much for the beautiful memories of a bygone era. I will listen to buddy Holly til the day I die.

We, as fans will keep their legacies alive, KEEP ON ROCKIN'!!!

This does a great Buddy Holly.

Spectacular...... Just spectacular. Wish more music was like this.

It is beautiful i grew up with Buddy and Ritchie. They were so talented. Their music will live on.

The buddy Holly Guy does a pretty damn good job of acting as Buddy.

He sure was an awesome talented musician and singer Gone way too soon!

Buddy holly sadly taken wayyyy to early 😢 never forgotten

Terrific--loved it. Would love to see it live. The guy playing Buddy Holly was very good. I liked the selection of songs too.

These guys did a awesome job

He was great to listen to when I was young then he was gone a real shame

Just great music

I met the Boppers son at a show in Ridgefield Conn , he spent a good 25 min s with me ,my greatest Rock n Roll memory . Love that man !

Hahahahaha I’ve never seen any footage of Ritchie Valens singing or dancing anything like that, but it is entertaining… LOL

am 87 ,grew up with all these people, thanks for reminding what the big bopper looked like

Fue el que generó las bases de todos los grupos de rock,adorado entre otros por The Rolling Stones

I saw the Buddy Holly story at Victoria Palace London, some time ago. Great evening!

I am so looking forward to owning the DVD of this show so that I can see the entire thing.

This video needs credits. I am pretty sure this brilliant performance is Gus MacGregor: @

Thank you Mom for turning us on to such great music it may be 2023, but I will always listen to this. Thank you Mom and Aunt Jane and Grandma and Grandpa. For everything you did for me I guess you guys knew I had rhythm and beat since I was eighteen months old. I'll never forget Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens or the Big Bopper and then Winter Wonderland Concert

Absolutely brilliant.

I've watched this many times. I wish I could give it a new thumbs up every time I do.

The music did die in that plane crash--but some years later the music did a phoenix and here came the Beatles and I saw then in concert

Did you people notice? When Buddy is singing Maybe Baby and kicking it across the stage...the bottom of the stage says "death of singers."

That one dude did a bad ritchie, but the other dude did an amazing buddy

If these 3 music legends were alive today they would still be dominating the charts

Love rock and roll born around country music but was different from everyone Love 💘💔😔rock and roll 1952 and still do rock on

Those 3 raised the roof off that Ballroom.

they dont make them like that anymore one of a kind brilliant,

If buddy would have lived he would have rivaled Elvis. I truly believe that.

Buddy was the real beginning of rock and roll as i remember. I'm 74 now.

A lot of you younger fans may not know much about Buddy Holly other than the 'Buddy Holly Story' but he was amazing. Back in the early 70's Don Mclean had a hit record called "The Day The Music Died" which was about the day that Buddy Holly, Richie Valens ( movie "La Bamba")and the "BIG Bopper" were killed in a plane crash. I thought I remembered all of his songs but I hadn't heard this one since the 60's.

HAD BUDDY LIVED NO DOUBT HE'D BEEN BIGGER THAN ELVIS

seems everyone missed the birth of rock and roll but me .

Great performance of the big bopper!!😍😍

Love These 3

The actor that plays Ritchie is just no. His performance is a major 'WTF?!' The 17 year old Ritchie was described by Dion and other musicians who toured with Valens as shy, innocent and very sweet. No such footage or contemporary descriptions of Ritchie exist of him performing on stage in an almost Elvis-esque, sexualized manner, with just a microphone in hand! IMO, the emcee resembles the Big Bopper more than the actor who plays him. Angus McGregor, on the other hand, is terrific as Buddy. I do understand that this is a show, not a documentary, with added flourishes, and choreography that did not exist in the original show. Likely, someone in charge thought that the additional orchestral musicians, choreography, and back up singers make it a bit more entertaining for a 21st century audience.

I was only like Six or seven amazing how I can remember these songs

Had Buddy lived he'd would've proudly written the biggest songs for the Beatles. Memphis Dan LeLoLai

thanks for to make it possibel to see and listen to the songs I grew up with in my ears. I used to scribe the titels on my schoolbox to never forget, Buddy Holly and Richy Valens. So sorry what hat happended to them.

R.I.P Peggy Sue

Wow great preference.he looks and singes like buddy holly it’s like he came back to finish his tour 🎸🎙please give Ritchie valance a fender Stratocaster also 👍🤓

i love this musical sm

This is great music.

Back when musicians dressed like they respected their audience.

Holly performed at Clearlake with a 3 piece back up band... there were no back up singers, male or female, no horn section, no orchestra....

I think he just bopped!

Love Buddy, rest in pease

Kirjoitan Suomeksi.Buddy Holly.mun Idololi👍Olen monesti ajattellut,että lähtivät tuon nuoren mittarilentoon kokemattaman nuoren lentäjän,mukaan.Mun poikaTeemu Heinonen.Hän muistuttaa paljon häntä

SO. SAD. ALL. THREE. GREATS. PASS. TOGETHER. ON THEIR WAY. TO. R. & R. HEAVEN. !!

Gary Busey played it best. In my opinion this was Gary Busey’s best acting gig.

What an ending, very nice touch.

Does buddy’s E chord break off during Peggy sue got married ???

My all time favorite

buddy holly is graet

Reminds me of the sock hops of my youth good times life was simple then

Hotter than a firecracker.bestLa bamba ever.

It's been 64 years since buddy Holly J.P Richardson the big bopper Ritchie Valens died

i am very sorry mr valens,,but this is 2014 we still have not found anyone half as good as you,,can't even find someone to play fking guitar even

Little Richard did that Kick Skip first on American Bandstand back in the late 50's !

Make your way to the Minnesota History Theatre for a "Buddy" production---all of Oct. 2022----as GOOD as we can get the repeat vibes handled with deepest respect, authenticity, and celebration---Rave On!

Is there anyone who actually saw buddy s in the late 50s went him toured England they were very lucky people to see him in real life . They are not many who did

It's 64 years since buddy Holly big booper Richie valens

I would rate that comment as,relateable and well said.I love to hear peoples comments.very informative.

Its just a play. Like the movie it is factually inaccurate at times. There was no orchestra at Surf Club. According to Dion there was a horn player or two for some of their songs. No singers in dresses. No jitterbuggin Buddy. But Joe B. Mauldin did lay down with that big stand up bass and Buddy stood on it! Hey its just a story. And it's only RockNRoll but I like it....!

I graduated 8th grade in 1957

THAT'S BETTER . A THIN BUDDY HOLLY JUST LIKE HE REALLY WAS.

Greatest Music Era

My Mom was a teenager then and she said this guy acts JUST LIKE JP

Bussey can hit lower deeper notes as Buddy did

Just for fun - Buddy Holly's first Crickets is this guy -- and yes he is recognized with a Platinum record for his playing on That'll be the day I die -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idGGh7mf1bbQonk.html his name is Larry Wilborn.

who ever played Ritchie Valens should never be allowed to ever call himself an entertainer he has turned Ritchie Valens's music to a Latino sex show and the vocals are Horrible. it's a shame these so called Actors Disgraced the Names of rock n roll's legends. How Disgusting!!!!
