Saw Eddie Gene Vincent and Little Richard on the same show in 1957 at the old Stadium Brisbane Australia. I was 14 and in high school at the time. In 1958 I saw Buddy Holly and the Crickets and Jerry Lee Lewis at Cloudland in Brisbane. Both venues have long gone. Have seen many Rock acts over the years but these two were definately the best ever.

Mel Kemp + Sadly, Little Richard left us recently. Since you've seen him here's a treat from a Granada TV special, this very well may be the best live performance ever recorded, it's such a blast watching those quaint English girls getting slammed from the man...LOL!.

This was filmed only 4 days after the crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. I don't know if Eddie was friends with the Bopper, but he was definitely good friends with Buddy and Ritchie. That had to have been on his mind and weighed on him heavily when he played this gig. The fact that he made it through is testament to his talent and abilities as a musician and performer. This footage is a real treasure, thank you for posting. Eddie Cochran was a phenomenal guitar player, singer and songwriter. He is missed.

He was very close friends with Ritchie Valens being from So Cal, Eddie & his wife Sharon helped Ritchie and Sharon even gave him a few songs she wrote meant for Eddie but Eddie said the songs suited Ritchie best. Ritchie valens even performed Summertime Blues at his concert in pacoima before the WDP tour. I do believe Eddie helped shape a lot of Ritchie Valens last material, Ritchie learned a lot from Chuck berry and Eddie during the filming of Go Johnny Go! (RV’s demo tapes shows lots of that influence of course with his own twists)

Eddie was amazing how he could play his guitar with such ease. That ease allowed him to put so much of his personality into his vocal delivery and his stage presence as a whole. He's completely present as a performer. He interacts with the other musicians, he reacts to the crowd, he looks like he's having a ball. He's thoughtful and considerate of the other musicians. He never looks worried about where his fingers are going or hitting a bum note and the licks he played were clever and like candy to the ears. He was second to none. He was the real deal!

@stratac30 5 жыл бұрын

I’m so pleased I’ve come across this film. As a young teenager in England I had only heard Eddie’s records on the radio and I remember one morning listening to the news on the BBC saying he had died in a car accident, I thought what a tragic end to such a great singer, however his music lives on. Watching this film it’s striking how visually and vocally similar he was to Elvis, but to me Eddies ability to actually play his guitar whilst singing is something Elvis could never do and Eddies guitar playing is right up there with Buddy Holly, both of which were pioneers in their respective brand of Rock ‘n Roll, his chord patterns on C’mon Everybody are brilliant.

Still one of the best videos of the early rock n roll era........Eddie was the complete package of the early rock entertainer. Not only did he write a lot of his own songs, he played some wicked lead guitar and was instrumental in creating the template for future guitarists. Amazing to think he was only 20 years old at the time of this show, and carried all of that talent, as well as stage presence and maturity in handling himself admirably in the interview. 1959 folks.... Surely, he (like Buddy Holly) would of gone on to great fame somehow in the world of music, had he lived. RIP, Eddie and thanks for your musical brilliance. Best CD to have?

Thanks a million for this amazing video. Eddie was the complete musician, so very talented in his playing, his song-writing, his singing, and his knowledge of Studio techniques. He was the only person who Elvis was afraid would steal his crown (had he not died so tragically young) and he was a great influence on the mighty Rory Gallagher - I rest my case!

The late, great Eddie Cochran. He was a great guitar player and wrote a lot of his songs. Can't say that about Elvis.

Eddie was also experimenting with multi-track recording, and played several other instruments. I think he could have been one of the big producers of the 60's had he survived. He was as big a loss as Buddy Holly but rarely gets mentioned in the same sentence.

Eddie was so good with guitar that he backed several other artists in the studio, and often he is not credited. He said at one time, if the hits start failing that he could become a studio musician, or get into the recording business. He has a couple of guitar solos that have been released, one is "Guybo" (the nickname of his bass player), and the other I think is "Strolling Guitar". They may be on YT. Speaking of multi-tracking/overdubbing, in this piece, Eddie plays all the parts: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja9mhdqlt9qnZaM.html

My favourite song of Eddie's is 3 Steps To Heaven. It never made the top 100 in the USA, but reached No.1 on the UK charts just after his death. He wrote it with his brother Bob. The song was recorded by Showaddywaddy in 1975 and reached No. 2 on the UK charts.

Something i would like to share to those fellow guitarists out there who want to emulate Eddie's unique sound. Eddie dropped both the high and low E strings down a full octave. It is how he managed to sound like he was playing a bass and guitar at the same time.

Joe Brown says that he'd also string a 2nd as an unwound 3rd as it was easier to bend.

@ustheserfs Жыл бұрын

this may have aired days after or been recorded days before the passing of Buddy, Richie and Big Bopper. It's said Eddie was deeply effected by their passing. The fact he's holding it together so bravely being a 20 year old is a sight.

Like Buddy Holly this talented young man had barely scratched the surface of his incredible talent. Though "Summertime Blues" is his most recognized and best selling song it probably isn't even in the top 10 for his all time best songs. A true legend and icon.
