      Yes, I was 16 then living in London where I did in fact until 2016. I saw Eddie at the Finsbury Park Empire also on the bill was Gene Vincent. Eddie started the performance with his back to the audience. I also saw within a couple of years the Beetles and Cilla Black at the same venue. Many years later I attended twice concerts in London featuring Little Richard, Chuck Berry and the recently dearly missed Jerry Lee Lewis. Truly Great Memories.

    I’ve heard about the legendary Eddie Cochran and heard his stellar music since I was a kid. But this my first time seeing the man play and sing, and it’s a stunning eye opener, he was an undoubted talent, not just on stage, but in production too, to get the records to sound the way they did. What a terrible loss of a young life at 21, just 1 year and 2 months after Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper also perished as young Rock n Rollers. RIP

      Besides Summertime Blues which is a classic Rocker covered by the Who even, he influenced Punk!
      The Sex Pistols copied his guitar riffs and you can hear it clearly in several Pistols songs. At least I do. The guitar riff right before Rotten starts singing in the beginning of God Save the Queen. For example is Cochran’s. De do dada, de do dada, de do dada I am an Anti you know the rest. As a guitar player, I noticed this. The repeating Riff is Cochran’s. Go Figure!
      And Sid Viscous even covered Cmon Everybody and Something Else! And Led Zep did too, live.
      Cochran was more popular in Britain than America as he toured there last.
      He sadly died in a car crash with Gene Vincent and his girlfriend in the car with him. Vincent was injured and survived but Cochran hit his head fatally. It’s a genuine shame because he was so talented and like Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens was headed for bigger things! They all were!
      But now we will never know what might have been.

    In his all too brief career Eddie only had 3 songs in the Top 40. "Sittin' In The Balcony" written by John D. Loudermilk, "Summertime
    Blues" and "C'mon Everybody" but he recorded some great tunes including "Twenty Flight Rock", "Jeannie,Jeannie, Jeannie", "Three
    Steps To Heaven", "Nervous Breakdown" "Cherished Memories", "Teenage Heaven" and "Guybo"( an instrumental). Him and Hank
    Cochran performed as The Cochran Brothers although they weren't related. Hank went on to be an award winning song writer.
    He wrote "She's Got You" for Patsy Cline and co-wrote "I Fall To Pieces" with Harlan Howard.

    • @brunoblivious

      I wouldn't say rock and roll would be totally different. Gene Vincent lived a decade after the crash that killed Cochran, but his influence never extended beyond his late 50s/early 60s heyday.
      Even Chuck Berry didn't have much of an impact on popular music after the early 60s and he died just 3 years ago.
      In fact, I can't think of any early pioneers of rock who went on to be highly influential for many years after. Elvis came closest having lots of hits, but did Burning Love and Suspicion Minds really change the course of music in any significant way?
      I'd say no.
      Don't get me wrong. Maybe Cochran's career would have been different. We'll never know. But judging by his contemporaries, I'd consider it unlikely.
