I grew up with early rock and the British Invasion. However, there is a group of all Japanese women named Band Maid that has allowed rock n' roll to never die.
Not only is he recognized as one of the innovators of Rock and Roll, he was also inducted in the R&R Hall of Fame in 1987, before the building was even built. And Blue Cheer's cover of Eddie's Summertime Blues is widely considered by many to be the birth of heavy metal. And the WHO did a killer version on their live at Leeds album.
@@DoctorInsomnia-qw7usThe Who did also an amazing cover of Summertime Blues in Woodstock, also Led Zeppelin used to cover C'mon Everybody and Somethin Else in their concerts.
@@DoctorInsomnia-qw7us The Beatles would cover a lot of his tunes while playing Hamburg in the very early sixties; they would take C'mon Everybody and turn it into a 15 minute jam session.
Unfortunately it's show business, when I was in Highschool I had a choir teacher that used to perform on Broadway. He said that you weren't allowed to have any emotions other than a smile because if you can't be positive they will replace you with someone better. The sad world of performance, that's why most of them feel lonely and turn to drugs as a coping mechanism.
Yes and in a totally avoidable car crash. At least with a plane it hits a mountain in fog or malfunctions. Not too many people crash a plane because they were driving it too fast.
I get furious when people say he’s an Elvis copycat. Eddie was a first-class musician. Played guitar, bass and drums. Besides, Elvis imitated the black man who wrote “Don’t Be Cruel” and “Return to Sender.” His name was Otis Blackwell. He also wrote all of Jerry Lee Lewis’ hits. You can hear him here on YT. By the way, I knew Otis.
Ive always thought out of all of the 50s artists that Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly were the two most likely to have dont some really interesting things in the 60s, but of course they were both killed VERY young before ever getting that chance. such a loss for all of us.
They didn't have the technology to capture live recordings very well back then. I always wonder how it must've sounded live, these guys are playing LOUD.
Eddie was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I'd get up early and play him and the Everly Brothers. My older sister was the source for all these great rock and roll records. I've still got all the original vinyl.
@@sandrinerousseau6579 It's rock and roll but not rock let's say things as they are because what does this have to do with influences of r&b/country and to dance with rock subgenres such as progressive
Eddie was a star ahead of his time. He was lightning, flashed brilliantly, and that was it, alas. Dick D'Agostin did a fine job, and then some, backing him up. The group is first rate also.
Along with the late great Buddy Holly, Rock N Roll lost two of its finest young talents in its infancy, but Eddie and Buddy have influenced so many acts that followed, their music lives on forever, thanks for posting.
Buddy Holly is an amazing song writer and a fantastic guitar player, filled that 3 piece group out with the most delicious playing,just a strat and a fender combo amp....same thing with Eddie Cochran.... The songs stand up today and forever
Eddie Cochran. Had everything . I saw him live in Manchester with Jean Vincent. Just marvelous. What a sad way for his life to end so early Absolutely magic. Looks charisma. Yep Presley had competition. 😭
1min50 , at the end of the song, Eddie looks straight up to the heavens for a moment. The date of this show, is his good friend Buddy Holly's funeral, which he could not attend due to this contracted performance. That's gotta be a prayer for his pal ❤
I thought I was the only one who noticed that nobody ever mentioned that but you but I noticed that years ago when I first saw this that was him saying prayer for his buddies no doubt about it Cochran was a class act
EDDIE, WAS A GENIOUS, VERY, VERY TALENTED, HE PERFECTED HIS MUSIC AND COULD PLAY MANY INSTRUMENTS, BUT DIED A YOUNG MAN IN A TAXI THAT WAS BEING DRIVEN TO FAST, R.I.P. EDDIE.
That was the day of Buddy Holly's funeral, when he was laid to rest. You could see Eddie look up to the sky, I think this was very much on his mind. They were very good friends.
Brought memories of my older sisters would dance with the records playing, I guess they were my inspiration for loving to dance when I got older. Sure miss my sisters and brothers ♥️🙏
The guitar work on this song is absolute marvelous. The song is more popular now than it was back then as it only mustered a #35 peak. Eddie would be gone in 14 months, how tragic. I envy those people who saw him performing live as I was just 5 at the time.
@@miguelangelolmo5335 Over the years a number of American artists did far better in the long run in Europe than they ever did in the USA. In the USA once the hits stop then they seem to be written off by the media as a has-been which isn't right.
First class act brilliant Rock n Roller way head of his time just like Buddy Holly if those Two legends had lived who knows what they would of achieved. Eddie Cochran good also play the drums with ease. Talented musician . To Me Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly would of wrote songs for other Music 🎶🎸🎶 artists . Rock n Roll 🎼🎵🎶🎸🎶 will never Die . From a Teddy boy 🎶🎸🎵🎼 RIP Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly. Two Legends who came to the UK before there untimely Deaths 🎼🎵🎸🎶🇺🇸
Agreed!! But also something that strikes me only because Buddy and Eddie became good friends after doing shows together: What was going through Eddies head when taping this show, seeing it was only four days after Buddy was killed in the plane crash?? He really held his own and this performance is stellar IMO
Another excellent track from Eddie Cochran who tragically died so young me dad was a great fan of this man's great music i like to carry on the tradition 🎹🎶🎼🎼
One of the first tunes I learned on my orange Gretsch 5120. Eddie and Malcom Young are the reasons I started playing guitar at 46! Fourteen years later and still rockin!
I take note of the simple fact that MANY of the most sucessful rock & roll tunes/bands had a saxophone OR a prominent organ, harmonica, or accordian. One reason for Cochran's sucess was his moves, gestures and style similar to ground-breaker Elvis Prestly. Great song. Cochran's loss was ours too.
I think "Town Hall Party" was a local Los Angeles TV music show that began as a country/hillbilly show, but had become a rock-and-roll program by the end of the 1950's. To my knowledge, it was never aired on a network or in national syndication.
Good evening my friend I was born in 1955 I was very young when he died to but Eddie was great in their era to RIP Eddie Today's music 🎵🎶 is like garbage 🗑️ to Am still listening to this music in September of 2024 to
THIS MAGNIFICENT ROCKER WAS DEEPLY RESPECTED BY THE BEATLES. IN FACT THE ORIGINAL REASON THAT JOHN ASKED PAUL TO JOIN THE QUARRYMEN WAS THAT PAUL KNEW ALL THE WORDS TO EDDIES " TWENTY FLIGHT ROCK"

At age 21. 😥
😢😢😢😢 tadinho
awwwwh!
Grande perdita
Per fortuna ci ha pensato Sid vicious a suonare la cover 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The devil went to collect his soul 😕.
This guy had everything - the voice, the songs, the looks, the licks, the riffs, the quiffs. Absolutely one of the greats.
Well where the f*** were you
🤡
He is the real King of Rock 'n' Roll!!!
Only the good die young 😢😢😢
@@mich298 ???. Lots of people die young. Good bad and indifferent.
Was listening to Eddie in the seventies & still listening to his music in 2023
One trillion times better than any current music. Eddie was incredible!

Real Rock n Roll...
@@charlesanderson32 It's real, if you give them a chance.
@Norberto Fontanez Arroyo🤔 I was thinking exactly the same.
And your parents said the same thing about their music versus yours and their parents the same thing
Eddie was very talented. Just like Elvis. Fun to watch and listen to. What a shame to die so young like that.
And Elvis wrote what songs...?
@@tylsimys67Elvis wrote a beautifully haunting song in the 60s called that's someone you never forget... cheers
Better even than Elvis ❤
The great Eddie ! He wasn't playing rock'n'roll ! HE WAS the rock'n'roll ! A fan from France 🇲🇫
Should try telling that to Alan Freed‼️
Eddie Cochran simply defines cool!!!
Yet he didn’t aspire to be so much. He just sang and played the guitar. Probably was a very down to earth guy
@@loyaldude10🧠 n't?
😊🥰😎-HE WAS AMAZING🥰❤️💕❤️
As soon as you *try* to be cool you fail.

Yes
So intense, like Jerry Lee Lewis, and more handsome too!!
@@darlahaines6928 Carl Perkins too, although Eddie was a lightning rod on stage. Perkin's made it look too easy and boring.
The music world was robbed the day this guy left us !
Наркота никого не щадит
you could fuel a power station with his performances. The King.
This is so much better than the crap that passes for music today. Great music never dates.
Shoulda, coulda, been right up there with Elvis. This short clip proves it.
Rip
Especially how he sings summertime blues
Think he would have been better
@@michaelsuncle5085 Elvis could sing everything (in a lot of keys) Eddie could hardly sing his own songs. But I like them both.
To think he can still smile just days after Buddy, Ritchie, and The Big Bopper died... All of them are legends. May they live on!
Unfortunately it's show business, when I was in Highschool I had a choir teacher that used to perform on Broadway. He said that you weren't allowed to have any emotions other than a smile because if you can't be positive they will replace you with someone better.

He joined em not too long after this
They unfortunately don’t make singers like this any more. He wa a true legend
They do. They just can't get a break with all the garbage shows of untalented people.
Just Wait🤨😊😎
Looks, talent, and stage presence. You watch a performance like this and you just have to wonder what could have been if he hadn't died.
Rip legend

two legends of Rock&Roll !
Absolutely. (PS. it's Gretsch.)
@@DaveMcKay0960
Sorry...yes, its Gretch.
Of course it's Gretsch, is there any other kind?
He's so good. Tragically he left us at such a young age.
The Big Bopper tossed him for the seat on that flight.
@@keithpeters6954 wut? Check you facts thats not what happened.

He was amazing...fun music back then...not so much today sadly...
If only he had lived longer.Eddie was a brilliant singer and guitarist
In 1974 or 1975 I worked alongside an English man in london who had attended Eddie Cochran's gig the night that Eddie died.
Such a talent. Died far too young in a motoring accident here in England. I think his lady friend was driving. January, 2025.
1:41 when he says "Who Cares" was just awesome.
Very sad. That there are not any people that can write songs like this anymore. Thank you for the beautiful memories.
He was so young when he passed away I love this song
Man, that dude really put his heart into the music.

Eddie Cochran is a very bright star. The founder of the style, which was later developed by other musicians. 🌟
One word - exciting
2024 and the song still kicks as*! Better than Elvis - the energy, the driving tune, the guitar playing.
Extremely underrated as a rock pioneer. Yep, looks, swagger chops. Great
Eddie Cochran.
Had everything .
I saw him live in Manchester with Jean Vincent.
Just marvelous.
What a sad way for his life to end so early
Absolutely magic.
Looks charisma.
Yep Presley had competition.

I watch this and just can’t stop smiling and tapping my feet.Totally infectious and quite frankly BRILLIANT!
I love the way he plays the guitar. He shakes his arm, I think he's really cool.
That, and the way he bops his head. Very entertaining for my ears and eyes. Have a good one!!!
This song is essence of 50's for me. Rock&Roll.
Brought memories of my older sisters would dance with the records playing, I guess they were my inspiration for loving to dance when I got older. Sure miss my sisters and brothers ♥️🙏
Still stands up today....friggin iconic
Eddie, we miss you everyday!!
This is Rock and roll.,, come on everybody
Plus a great guitar man!
Greatly underrated!
Eddie was amazing and that piano player was wicked.
yeah the piano part, I noticed was almost classical with the natural seventh featuring a small trill on the five four one...
