2023 nostalgically watching people in 1973 being nostalgic about 1959. Great performances all around although Janet Vogel looks upset about not hitting that last note on "Since I Don't Have You."

@@timguzz8844 These individuals and groups ARE classic rock. These songs ARE the inception of rock and roll. There are songs from the latter 50's and from the early to mid 60's here. Some of them are what's known as fast dances (twist, pony, limbo, jitterbug) and others are slow dances (bear hug, 3 step waltz derivative). Music is evolutionary. The 1964 British Invasion (Beatles, Stones) continued the evolution of rock and roll. Motown moved R&B along. Phil Spector moved rock and roll along. Perhaps when you say classic rock you mean music starting around 1967 - Zeppelin, Vanilla Fudge). That's great music! And it evolved from earlier classic rock as written and performed by the people in and associated with this video. You know what is great? You have music that you love and enjoy listening to! And that music doesn't need a genre or a category. It is YOUR music!

People were nostalgic cause the music of the 60s into the 70s started to bore them. They missed the more wholesome music and artists of the pre Beatle invasion era !
