WOW Buddy Holly & The Crickets LIVE at The Apollo Theater in Harlem New York!!!!!! The very first white group ta perform at The Apollo Buddy & The Crickets were a historical sensation black folks were 💃 dancin & singin in the Isles ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
I love clips like this . It shows no matter how different we as a human race can be that we can always always come together over the language of music.
I remember Frankie valens too. This was wild. Times mamas raised them to be fine men. Then they died would we have had Woodstock if had lived. Buddy hollie was king not elvis
I can just imagine how much more of an impact Buddy Holly would of had if he lived thru the 60-90s he was just different my favorite 50s musician this is amazing
I've followed Buddy's music since 1981, and it seems to have the magic that so many are missing in today's music. I listen to other performers, but I always come back to Buddy Holly. I wonder how far he would have gone, had he not died, 18 months is just too short of time we had to see and hear his wonderful music.
This was a good thing that this happened the song set them off to the edge the audience loved it and a 69 dislikes don't know music this was just beautiful everybody together you'll never see nothing like this again
I watched the history of the Apollo theater a few days ago on HBO and it's a great shame that there's not much more video footage from this era. In some cases there's more footage of these stars from the time when they travelled to Europe than the US. Otis Redding in uk on Ready steady go. Sonny Boy Williamson at the BBC & the American Folk Blues Festival in German, tapes that were lost for years. SVT Sweden has Eartha Kitt & the list goes on. I love the clip of Jamaican group Culture singing Natty Dread Taking over on French or maybe Italian tv.
Every time I see this clip it shows how talented Buddy Holly was, he was liked by many different people, as well as how he could do anything, rock, country, and beautiful love songs. Many back then weren't able to do but one style, he was all over the board
@@BaByLaStrAnGe I'd like to see the movie this is from. The clip from the Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey is different from this and has different songs...its anyone's guess it seems how it really was. Does Anyone really know? Can you tell Words of Love is a Beatle song? Can't mistake that Beatle harmony. Lol
In this part of the video I have watched this several times yet I never made a comment but now that I think about it I remember years ago when I lived at 126th and 1st Avenue that I walked to a big building to the DEPT OF LABOR doing my job search and I very close to the Apollo and across the street was a music shop but in this video buddy introduced America to ROCK AND ROLL when the BEATLES came out and it's known as the BRITISH INVASION as I was very young maybe 9 or 10 and watching TV but my brothers were 10 years older than me and my twin brother and we would play LPS in the living room and I never forgot it
Loved Buddy Holly since I can remember but I did not know he played in the Apollo for the first time ever as a white person and I am very proud for that I'm very proud he stood up for equality in our races that mean absolutely nothing to some of us white people we have no animosity toward any color and I know there are black people that have no animosity toward any color and that's what I love about America we are all people and we have got to break the barriers and I think Buddy Holly started it out amen God bless you may you rest in peace Buddy Holly
I still remember in 59’ I was in the second grade living just south of Lubbock and my mom said those boys playing with that Holley boy got killed lat night….😥
@@Eyes-of-Horus what killed him was the fact that touring was so lucrative. that's why he was on that winter tour in iowa. he loved to produce and write because that's where his talent lay but the money at that time was in touring. the rolling stones still tour because that's where the money is
Just listening makes the hair on my arms and legs stand on end. It is like I was there back then...much better than the Gary Busey rendition of the performance.
He influenced the Beatles and a lot of other Brit bands. When the guys wanted to come up with a name for the band they wanted something like The Crickets. So they settled on The Beatles combining the idea of the insect and music. Hence the BEATles.
That was a clip from the Apollo Theater and it is Buddy and the Crickets for real.from just a short time before him and the Big Bopper,and Richie Valens died in a plane crash in Clear Lake ,Iowa. Feb,3,1959
I adore the host! he is doing such an amazing job helping the band win over the audience. I bet he did that for so many others... anyone know his story?
This is a play you dopey knucklehead. Not the actual 1957 event. The comedian in question wasn't real. That is to say, the real host was not a comedian
He was originally blinded storming Omaha beach on D day then he learned how to play the piano and wrote and sang famous songs like Hit the road jack,and The Mess Around. He became addicted to Heroin and died in the plane that hit the North Tower while battling terrorists that took over the plane in,the name of Islam
Love you brother Dixon abd sister Rose. I’m all alone but I want to make attempt to drive to one of your meetings I was hoping you would have one in your town God bless you sister Penny new Smyrna Beach Florida
@@stevepaul6955 Nope hes is not Gary Busey tho Busy has played Holly but this man is Gus McGreger or some like that. I goggled it 2 months ago, Thanks for the reply
See, the thing is, this never happened This is Hollywood doing what Hollywood does For the first two nights, they were literally booed off the stage That's how it actually went down, not some feel-good fairytale
They need to remake that show that Gary busey made. Buddy Holly is way more of a showman than I thought he was, just from that movie. He had some hella moves not awkward like Buseys was.
A lot of people don’t realize what a monumental performance that this was during its time and place.
Buddy ahead of his time !
I was 17 I saw the headline in a old newspaper, I still recall the deep shock and sadness, thankyou for some great music guys!
WOW Buddy Holly & The Crickets LIVE at The Apollo Theater in Harlem New York!!!!!! The very first white group ta perform at The Apollo Buddy & The Crickets were a historical sensation black folks were 💃 dancin & singin in the Isles ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
I like it too but that ain't Buddy OR Gary.
I love clips like this . It shows no matter how different we as a human race can be that we can always always come together over the language of music.
Early days I remember the plane crash and news casters talk tragic over Texas I am 67
I remember Frankie valens too. This was wild. Times mamas raised them to be fine men. Then they died would we have had Woodstock if had lived. Buddy hollie was king not elvis
Jerry lee Lewis would have Ben second e voice from god
Wow. The man was SO ahead of his time. Forget color. The people in this room were connected through music.
Ec, lightyears ahead of his time!
I’ve visited the Apollo Theatre, and it says a lot for Buddy to be welcomed in Harlem. This was before The Sandman, y’all.
Who’s the sandman?
We owe him a very large thank you.
Looks like he was shocked to to get such an applause, he was ready to leave after one song
I can just imagine how much more of an impact Buddy Holly would of had if he lived thru the 60-90s he was just different my favorite 50s musician this is amazing
God Bless. Buddy Holly
Ralph Gean. Always A Fan😂
He brought the people Together ❤🎹
Love and Mercy !!
They woulda assassinated him too... Just like king, then blamed somebody else.

I wonder how far he would have gone, had he not died, 18 months is just too short of time we had to see and hear his wonderful music.
We still do it and it goes on. A special kind of career. Endless, thats a good story somehow.
I'm just glad that he can inspire us. Thankfully there are some of you out there.
This was a good thing that this happened the song set them off to the edge the audience loved it and a 69 dislikes don't know music this was just beautiful everybody together you'll never see nothing like this again
Unless the PLAY goes off broadway
Thank you very much for this vote please keep the song and the words as. Is. .
Music brings all races together and he proved that.

I know. It was amazing how they had all the latest technology film equipment set up in the Apollo not even knowing it was a historical event
The King , Buddy Holly, long live the King!

I love Buddy Holly.
There is a lot of people talking about how good of a artist's buddy holly is, and I agree but I'm just here because of my guitar teacher.
I love Buddy Holly's music I was 11 years old when died I was living in Des Moines Iowa and I know where Clear lake Iowa is
Now that's Buddy Holly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT'S FOR SURE THE REAL BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS!!!!!
Ummmmm
I Love the hype man! What an intro!
I still remember in 59’ I was in the second grade living just south of Lubbock and my mom said those boys playing with that Holley boy got killed lat night….😥
we only had a little while with buddy holly, i wonder how big he would have been with a full career.
He was moving away from performing and into production.
@@Eyes-of-Horus what killed him was the fact that touring was so lucrative. that's why he was on that winter tour in iowa. he loved to produce and write because that's where his talent lay but the money at that time was in touring. the rolling stones still tour because that's where the money is
Buddy Holly was a head of his time I will lesson to his music as long as I can hear he was the best
Jp, lightyears ahead!
His music still stands the test of time long after his death one of the best RIP Buddy Holly
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍🎤🎸🥁🎷🎺🎼🎶🎵🍸🍺🍸🍺🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵
Good singer with great melody in the background, works across all music
He leftt us too early, so sad! Anita Jackson, SA
This was just amazing history made
🎉🎉🎉❤just phenomenal. My toes are taking unknown contours on the floor. 67 and am sure am 20.
Good stuff RIP to everyone in the plane crash.
L'un des rois du rock, trop tôt disparu
Gary busey played buddy Holly so well 😎😎
Theses movies are in perfect state 👍💙
Buddy was such a great performer and little did he know how influential his music would become.
He wasn’t different. He was perfect…
Gimme a break.
He did a good job
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Very fine performance and the singer sounds almost exactly like Buddy, but I prefer the scene from the movie with Gary Busey. Rave On was a killer.
Who is this singer and where did this clip come from?
Buddy holly had the best music
hankus253 his name is Gus Mcgregor
I love how this is the real footage from his original Apollo performance. This was no play. It wasn't a boating accident either
Huh?
Their music was enough.
Angus was the best performer as Buddy Holly. I love tha t Guy but now he play other music an I miss the power and joy
Just listening makes the hair on my arms and legs stand on end. It is like I was there back then...much better than the Gary Busey rendition of the performance.
If only. My life ve of music is beyond ... WOW
Awesome
He made music popular way before the Beatles.
He influenced the Beatles and a lot of other Brit bands. When the guys wanted to come up with a name for the band they wanted something like The Crickets. So they settled on The Beatles combining the idea of the insect and music. Hence the BEATles.
Love it o😊
Everyone was so well dressed unlike today. Guess everything was made in the USA, unlike today.
The Real Pioneer of Early Rock and Roll
Definitely Rock-a- billy.
It been said that we all don't see eye 2 eye...but it's a different story, when it comes 2 the ear. 🇺🇸🕵
Dayum!!
Buddy Holly and the Crikets 😮🙋
Always was curious how the original performance went down
Can you please tell me who played Buddy Holly in this clip. He is fantastic.
That was a clip from the Apollo Theater and it is Buddy and the Crickets for real.from just a short time before him and the Big Bopper,and Richie Valens died in a plane crash in Clear Lake ,Iowa. Feb,3,1959
@@donaldk.macbaird5248Its not Buddy and the Crickets.
Gus MacGregor is playing the part of Buddy Holly here.
What is this??? It's great! Is it original? Recreation? Wishful idea? I have no idea???
Dam he was good.
Would have liked to see "Rave On!"
My favorite of Buddy's.

@james Jameson you must be from buddy's era
HELLO… this isn’t real
Y'all tripping for what get a life

He looks like Steve-o
Love you brother Dixon abd sister Rose. I’m all alone but I want to make attempt to drive to one of your meetings I was hoping you would have one in your town God bless you sister Penny new Smyrna Beach Florida
Since his untimely death how many of his songs have been covered? A ton.
and bands formed too. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan were all big fans of Holly.
He would have given the Beatles and Elvis a run for there money
Dylan too, i put him up there with dylan as a songwriter.
Who dredged this pansey? Gary Busey won the Oscar for this role. Don't make a remake!
And you're the village tough guy?
Pleeeease.
This was BEFORE the Gary Busy one.
Learn what you're talking about.
That was not "The Buddy Holly Story". Gary Busey played Buddy Holly in that film.
Yeah, Busey didn't do a really good Buddy Holly and the movie was off in a lot of ways.
It didnt actually go this well. It was a three day set and they were booed for most of it until they got into some Bo Diddley..
This is why we used to get along with each other, that is until the government got involved!! 😢
Is this from the touring production? Cause that ain't Buddy OR Gary
Wheres this from? This isnt the Gary Busey movie
NOBODY CAN SING LIKE BUDDY HOLLY.ESPECIALLY THIS GUY
Who is the man playing Buddy, I think he is awesome singer himself, hope someone knows please
Gary Busey.
@@stevepaul6955 Nope hes is not Gary Busey tho Busy has played Holly but this man is Gus McGreger or some like that. I goggled it 2 months ago, Thanks for the reply
Scottish dude. McGregor. He's quite good. Highly recommend.
@@St99785 Thank you. I searched him out right after I saw this because he is good at doing Buddy.
Is this original video? Is this really Buddy Holly? Seems strange at the beginning and also in colours
No this is a play
See, the thing is, this never happened
This is Hollywood doing what Hollywood does
For the first two nights, they were literally booed off the stage
That's how it actually went down, not some feel-good fairytale
I don't know what this is but it's not the film "The Buddy Holly Story".
I thought buddy Holly was a 3 person band
Four for a while, then three
Is this from a movie that I might have missed?
It's from a play. I think the title is "Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story". It's available here on CZcams.
what is this? i only know of the gary busey movie?
I don’t know exactly but I think this is another production from 1994
Gus mcgregor
@@kennethkoch4199 - blessed thee who are among the body.
Don't change anything about the words and songs
I never realized realized how much Steve o resembles buddy holly
The gary Busey version of this is much better. JMO
This guy should have played Buddy in the movie. He absolutely nailed it. A lot more believable than Gary Busey.
Totally agree with you.
This is the real Buddy Holley
I respectfully disagree.
Gary was much better.
@@larryriddle258The actor's name is Gus MacGregor and the show was recorded at the Strand Theatre in London in 1996
Believe it or not, I like the movie performance by Gary Bussey better than this one.
This is totally terrible
