    Bo was one of the first early rock stars I saw live back when I was a freshman in high school. It was at the University of Dayton Fieldhouse in May 1956. In addition to Bo, there was Big Joe Turner, LaVern Baker, The Drifters, The Platters, Clyde McPhatter, and Bill Haley and the Comets. It was really my first live rock concert. All the acts were incredible to this "green" white boy and Bo was awesome with his music and dancing moves. Bo really made an impression on me with that "sound" of his; the Bo Diddley beat. I was hooked then and as I said before, I bought everything he put out on 45's and later on LPs. Extraordinary musician!

      That's also the power of Gretsch guitars at play here. The Gretsch company made drums for decades before they made guitars and when they did make guitars it was like they were meant to be played/bashed like drums, ha ha.
      If you like this look up some isolated tracks of Malcolm Young of AC/DC who's another famous Gretsch player. But again really simple parts just played with a lot of guttural force which you can learn if you practice that specifically. Anyway check out Malcolm's stuff and you'll see what I mean when you get there. But yeah, Bo Diddley's great for this stuff don't get me wrong.
      I could really ramble on about what kind of wild beatings these guitars can take but I'd reveal just how much of a nerd I really am, ha ha. Anyway hope this helps. Cheers!

    Meanwhile you have Bo godamn Diddley up here in his 40s or 50s taking his 50s sound and giving that hard grit. 50s music with 70s grit is almost its own incredible genre of music. Truly he is the original king of rock and roll.

    One of the BEST concerts I've ever seen was Bo Diddley in Albury N.S.W. He told the audience that his next tune was the last of the show, looked at my watch and thought I would be out in about ten minutes. 45 mins later he finished, just him and his guitar no backing group. SENSATIONAL. Better than Hendrix. Bo is the right hand of the devil & Jimi the left hand. Imagine if they could have shared a stage

    I saw Bo several times, but the one that really stood out was a Murry the K show in Brooklyn circa 1965. Bo was really on, and had two encores. When he finally he finally went off after about 40 minutes the crowd kept cheering so loud for about 10 minutes , you couldn't hear anything. The next performer up was Jerry Lee Lewis, and he refused to come out for at least an additional
    10 minutes. What a show, Bo had no equal, not Chuck Berry, not anyone. He used to fry chicken in his dressing room in an electric fry pan that he took on the road with him. He was royally screwed by his record label because he did not read the fine print in his contract. (very common in the 50's and 60's).

    Although he shouts "Hey!" a lot in this song, this is actually a song called "Bo Diddley-Itis" that ended the great 1972 LP "Where It All Began." His guitar tone is so epic on this live version.

    This is pure Diddley dynamite from the movie "Let The Good Times Roll". Wish I had a UK region friendly DVD of this amazing rock & roll revival event. Bo's label mate Chuck Berry was contractually not allowed to appear on the soundtrack double-album, which is also a gas. But Chuck & Bo's closing jam is here on The Tube. Saw Bo Diddley "Live" in Bournemouth, South Coast England, in 1978 with "Matchbox" as his backing band. Absolutely brilliant performance & the audience didn't want Bo to leave the stage. I felt sorry for Carl Perkins having to come on after Bo Diddley but being a top pro he coped well and his own outfit CP Express pleased the Jivers. It was though the Blues & gritty rock & Rnb fans who were there for Bo - clamouring at front of stage for high-fives, plectrums and autographs. Tremendous night. I am a 24 carat lifelong Bo Diddley fanatic & just love his work. Chris Newman UK
