Love it. Phew! Brings back memories as I was junior in high school when Buddy, Richie Vallens, and The Big Bopper died in that Iowa cornfield. As an old man, I still love Buddy's music.
Ya, but who on earth would even give a rat's ass about any "greatest" list that that idiotic poser magazine compiled about anything? Their list of "100 best Rock Albums" is so idiotic as to be laughingstock material. The last people who have any right, let alone authority, to concoct these 'lists' are the dumbass "critics" who have made a living off of their 'personal' tastes. I could give a shit what some pretentious twit sitting behind a typewriter who schmoozes up to "Rock Stars" thinks. There. I said it.
I know and understand that nobody is gonna believe me but I met Bonnie in Country Club area in the Bronx. Was with Sean Talens aka Brian Goldfarb now departed. Oh what a night. The three of us. Believe it or not. Ready to take Lie Detector on this one. You can all use your finest imagination!
I love the pics of Bonnie all chill and sitting back in the pocket driving the rythm waiting for her turn to show the boys how it's really done! She is real and spectacular!

Amen Amen...Angels are Singing ! What a Show being born in and raised in Austin hearing the Finale BUDDY HOLLY WILL NOT FADE AWAY !!!!!!!! BLOW YOUR SWEET MOMMAS SOCKS DOWN ! ol man way down in TX jd
Remembering the time I went to see these guys in Santa Cruz, CA at Moe's Alley. It was a stormy, rainy night. Just when everything was getting steamed up the power went out. Mobile band members jumped down on the dance floor and played there without amplifiers. It was fun, intimate and we kept dancing and they got us singing! It was no less than a fabulous show! Having worked on a radio crew for years at High Sierra Music, the Subdudes was an absolute favorite headliner! I grew to respect these guys and their musicianship. They're tight! They know how to put on a great show! I love these gentlemen. Crazy about this band, The Subdudes are on my favorite bands list!
Throughout the years, I have seen every person on that stage, some of them actually together, but to see ALL of them together doing a Buddy Holly cover, blows my mind. This is awesome, I love seeing Joe Ely Live, so this is extra sweet with all the other legends!!
So great to see Lloyd Maines killing it on the pedal steel, doing this song again with Joe Ely and David Grissom nearly 40 years after I first saw them do it.
All they needed was Ponty Bone up there adding some accordion. Or Jesse 'Guitar' showing them how a solo is really done. Once saw them almost tear the roof off Fitzgerald's when they did a show with The Blasters.
Verses and solos in order: Joe Ely, Jeff Bridges, Sheryl Crow (harmonica then vocals), David Grissom (blue denim shirt, great guitar solo), Bonnie Raitt (steel guitar, also great), Jimmie Vaughan (white guitar, brother of Stevie Ray), Doyle Bramhall II (worn guitar, white guy with afro), Gary Clark Jr (bearded Black guy), Lloyd Maines on pedal steel (also father of Natalie Maines of The Chicks), Joe Ely again, Robert Earl Keene (white hat), then there’s a moment with backup singers Sheryl Crow & Brittney Howard (of Alabama Shakes), also the plaid shirt guitarist on the far right is Rich Brotherton (used to play guitar for Robert Earl Keen’s band). My further research provides likely possibilities below as all were in attendance at that anniversary show. Guy in far back with glasses (on the right side) playing a white guitar is Glenn Fukunaga. The drummer is Tom Van Schaik who played for the Dixie Chicks and more recently with Robert Earl Keen. There’s also a pianist on the right side I can only catch a couple of glimpses of. That’s Riley Osbourn . Most of the brass quartet are likely from Grupo Fantasma. The marimba player is John Speice IV from Grupo Fantasma. Possibly sax is Doug James. But most likely Joshua Levy of Grupo Fantasma. Possibly the trombonist is Mike Rinta. Or Leo Gauna of the Hubtones and Grupo Fantasma. But most likely Mark ‘Speedy’ Gonzalez of Grupo Fantasma. The heavy trumpet player is Gilbert Elorreaga of Grupo Fantasma. The Black trumpet player on the far left might be Ephraim Owens. That's the only one on stage that's hard to get a clear view of his face.
Glenn Fukunaga played bass on A LOT of cool records (especially Antone's label) in the mid 1980s... incl. many of Angela Strehli's and Lou Ann Barton's
Wow. Buddy would have LOVED that. Esp. the steel guitar bit. He loved innovation and I've never heard a steel guitar used quite that perfectly on a rock n roll song. Hail! hail!
That's Lloyd Maines on the steel guitar and he's on Joe Ely's early albums and they are great. Worth checking out. The album "Live Shots" has some blistering rock pedal steel on it.
This is everyone from A to Z collectively whose done it all in American music for the past 30 years. These are the people blessed my life by making every minute of it worth living.
Ms. Raitt is the consummate performer. She just sits there and enjoys others in the band then steps up and delivers a guitar virtuoso fades back and lets these lessers do their thing. Listen to her and only her do this song.
Saw him at the NEC in UK supporting robert Cray. I had already got Musta notta gotta lotta album but was the only one who had heard of him. Still brilliant.
@johnkimbley I've never been to Lubbock, but love Don Henley's lyrics "I was flying back from Lubbock, I saw Elvis on the plane, or maybe it was Jesus, they both kind of look the same".
Absolutely these 2 young men have been taught by 1 of the best Artist that these generations have been blessed to see and hear thank you Nelson family yaaaay Willie
Old school MASTER CLASS . Great musicians never retire. They just get together like this & Happy times roll on. Together they have a show that sells their younger rivals into lesser Pie. Well paid for reunions to have a great time. Gotta love that now.
Buddy's version is simply the best - His voice, style and everything else is just brilliant - Timeless by Buddy and the Crickets from 65 years ago!!!! - Please listen to it - John Hawkins, UK

I don't really know why, but I've got a thing for Sheryl Crow. She sings beautifully, plays the guitar with passion, and can play the squeeze box. She's beautiful too. The reason doesn't really matter. She's great.
@@countrypeaboy You're a brave man. I told my wife that if Emmylou Harris came calling, she might have to share. That was 38 years ago and we're still married. 😅
@@BackyardRambo It's not wrong, just different ... seems to me it's basically the Grateful Dead arrangement they used coming back from "Drums-Space" whenever "Not Fade Away" was in the set list.
Having a complete Buddy Holly collection on vinyl (45s, EPs, LPs) I am still amazed how many stars are covering his songs - and making them even greater.
That is one of the most powerful pedal steel breaks I have heard at 4:04. They are all looking around grinning. Sheryl is pretty damn good on harp too.
A lot of great talent, but it brought tears to my eyes. Song came out in '57, loved it then, and a year later I got married for 62 years, and it never faded away and now 3 years later it still hasn't faded way.
I was blown away when Jeff Bridges was on stage. I never knew he could pick and sing. Him and his brother have made some great movies and their dad gave them all the genes they needed because Lloyd was a hell of an actor also. What a family~!!! Thanks for this video.
That's a standard New Orleans beat and not an invention of Bo Diddley. As for the general public popularity of the pattern you have to go back to Johnny Otis's Hand Jive in the mid-fifties.
I finally went to the Buddy Holly crash site in Clear Lake, Iowa while traveling cross country a couple of weeks ago, if you are a fan you owe it to yourself to go there, it's a beautiful solemn memorial made by fans that has been maintained by the farmer that owns the land.
Brings to mind one afternoon in November 1964 Joe Ely rode a Triumph motorcycle (without a muffler) through the halls of Monterey High School In Lubbock. I was sitting in class on the second floor of the annex building and the noise was still deafening. Good times long gone.
That rings a bell with me. My brother did the same on his BSA Lightening in my high school ( with mufflers but epic sound ) .... in North Miami High ... circa 1966 during classes. He had three index cards of offenses with he dean .. front and back .... a most unconventional lad.
I remember back then, our (rock) band was playing in the HS auditorium, I was walking down the hallway - in another world - smoking .... and didn't get busted !
Everybody’s got a story, here’s mine. I was a second generation NFA fan, as The Rolling Stones version was the first 45 I ever bought. And thanks to reading the credits I discovered Buddy Holley.
Bonnie's solos get better, tastier as she gets sexier the older she gets. In all my 66 years, she is the hottest, badass chic EVER. I can't take my eyes off her. She looks calmly, confidently at the camera as if to say " eat your heart out, you stupid SOB". Amazing. I just love her. Who said women don't have stage presence. She rules.
Love it. Phew! Brings back memories as I was junior in high school when Buddy, Richie Vallens, and The Big Bopper died in that Iowa cornfield. As an old man, I still love Buddy's music.
The Big Bopper was sick. So some guy named Waylon Jennings gave him his seat.
@@davenorcross4307 just was going to ask that Thanks was a shame then we ended up with Willie Waylon and the the boys 😊
I've watched this 50 times. Don't get no better.
Still watching.
Bonnie Rait should absolutely be higher on Rolling Stone's list of great guitar players. She rocks!!!
And has vocal talent!

I love the pics of Bonnie all chill and sitting back in the pocket driving the rythm waiting for her turn to show the boys how it's really done! She is real and spectacular!
Noticed that, too....and how she didn't get a vocal bit seems strange
Exactly, Miss Bonny can grind the twine !

The Dude abides.
His body may have died in 1959 but Buddy's spirit and music will Not Fade Away.
Bonnie hit the slide, smiling faces all around!
Remembering the time I went to see these guys in Santa Cruz, CA at Moe's Alley. It was a stormy, rainy night. Just when everything was getting steamed up the power went out. Mobile band members jumped down on the dance floor and played there without amplifiers. It was fun, intimate and we kept dancing and they got us singing! It was no less than a fabulous show!
Having worked on a radio crew for years at High Sierra Music, the Subdudes was an absolute favorite headliner! I grew to respect these guys and their musicianship. They're tight!

Maines killed it didn't he? So rhythmically solid, every note placed right where he aimed it.
@@ClarenceHW Lloyd is a great player and was also the music director. And he's a super nice guy
exactly what i was thinking,, killin it
Never heard somebody play pedal steel and it sounds like a straight slide guitarist.
I could listen to Bonnie play that slide all day and night. one of the bst ever.
Reminds me of Lowell George
Sod me, where has this lot been hiding in my 75 years!!!! Greatest version been of Not Fade Away I have ever heard. By a long way. Amazing.

Been listening to this for a long time, never read ur post, till now..
Thank you ! for performer list..

all this is possible because of the GREAT BUDDY HOLLY...one of a kind genius....

Never Fading Buddy Holly
Yea but the whole 3 cord song IS Bo Didle !!!

Thanks for this posting John Barnett ❤California Love Notes to All ❤ revisited November 2023
Joe Ely.......always loved this guy, great singer song writer and performer. Extremely overlooked and under rated.
Saw him at the NEC in UK supporting robert Cray. I had already got Musta notta gotta lotta album but was the only one who had heard of him. Still brilliant.
It's not just what Bonnie plays but the bad-assness with how she delivers it. It's like
"Move over fellas, coming through, I;m taking the first one".
Seeing Joe Ely and Lloyd Maines on the stage together takes me back to the 70's at FAT DAWGS in LUBBOCK. What a time!!
@johnkimbley I've never been to Lubbock, but love Don Henley's lyrics "I was flying back from Lubbock, I saw Elvis on the plane, or maybe it was Jesus, they both kind of look the same".
I've been watching this thing everyday, can't get enough of it!
thank you all for keeping this song alive it was a great when buddy song it and it is still a great song now
Absolutely these 2 young men have been taught by 1 of the best Artist that these generations have been blessed to see and hear thank you Nelson family yaaaay Willie
Love Bonnie saw her in kettering a few years back. Great guitarist great band great vocalist and great looks thanks Bonnie
I love how Robert Earl Keene seems to be having the time of his life!!! Loving every second.
Andy A., Agreed! REK playing rhythm for all it was worth, while watching hot guitar leads in every direction he turned.
When it's Bonnie's turn, she's like, "Hold my beer. This is how you do it." A true American music icon.
Old school MASTER CLASS . Great musicians never retire. They just get together like this & Happy times roll on. Together they have a show that sells their younger rivals into lesser Pie. Well paid for reunions to have a great time. Gotta love that now.
wow, every second is sublime, Buddy Holly's genius lives on~!
Every second - really? Did you skip when Jimmy Vaughan started his solo at 3:05?
I also, an austrian from Europe, miss you Buddy Holly!
What a classic. Some songs just get stronger and stronger. Perfect.
A lot of my faves up there including my man Joe Ely plus pedal steel player extraordinaire Lloyd Maines plus Bonnie, Gary, Jimmie, Doyle etc...

@@ShaneKennedy1969 Exactly. Bonnie Raitt live (saw her many times) was amazing (with John Prine) and solo.

thirdbase6870. It used to be said that "if you want a hit, write a song to s Bo Diddley beat".
They're playing it wrong. The song does NOT have the Bo Diddley beat. It has an off beat.
@@BackyardRambo True.
@@BackyardRambo It's not wrong, just different ... seems to me it's basically the Grateful Dead arrangement they used coming back from "Drums-Space" whenever "Not Fade Away" was in the set list.

Just adore Bonnie such a gift just like Buddy
Good tribute for Buddy!! From France.
Buddy Holly, rip.. died so young, he had so many more songs in him, so sad!
yes one of a kind :)
What an awesome ensemble, amazing tune , listen to it4 days in a row......
Having a complete Buddy Holly collection on vinyl (45s, EPs, LPs) I am still amazed how many stars are covering his songs - and making them even greater.
The song really rocks and a great tribute from great musicians to the genius that was Buddy Holly.
They can't make them any greater than Buddy Holly made them
I love it how Bonnie sits in the background and then blows them all away with her slide. GO GIRL !
I love the way they all look so pleased that they all finished together....that's no mean feat when you have a stageful.
PHENOMENAL VARIETY OF GREAT MUSIC TALENT - all in one place AMAZING
That is one of the most powerful pedal steel breaks I have heard at 4:04. They are all looking around grinning. Sheryl is pretty damn good on harp too.
i believe that's a harmonica
That's the great Lloyd Maines on pedal steel. The best that I've ever heard. He also happens to be the father of Natalie Maines from The Chicks.
Also good record producer@@dconsiglio
A lot of great talent, but it brought tears to my eyes. Song came out in '57, loved it then, and a year later I got married for 62 years, and it never faded away and now 3 years later it still hasn't faded way.

stick to acting
Always loves this song, with it's Bo Diddley's Beat
That's a standard New Orleans beat and not an invention of Bo Diddley. As for the general public popularity of the pattern you have to go back to Johnny Otis's Hand Jive in the mid-fifties.
Everyone on stage was great, such outstanding musicians, but good golly I loved hearing Lloyd Maines tearing it up on the pedal steel.
What an amazing gathering of talent on one stage for one song!
I wish our Congress was as great as these harmonious musicians. These musicians made ever instrument great! Praise God! for everything good.....
I finally went to the Buddy Holly crash site in Clear Lake, Iowa while traveling cross country a couple of weeks ago, if you are a fan you owe it to yourself to go there, it's a beautiful solemn memorial made by fans that has been maintained by the farmer that owns the land.

February, 1959. I was having b’fast w/my boss when we heard the news.
When u have a group like this, together in one place,it's always best to take full advantage&listen the best you can!!!
Brings to mind one afternoon in November 1964 Joe Ely rode a Triumph motorcycle (without a muffler) through the halls
of Monterey High School In Lubbock. I was sitting in class on the second floor of the annex building and the noise was still
deafening. Good times long gone.
jerry d'augistino did it down the hall at kenmore jr. high school,kenmore,ny around the same time!
That rings a bell with me. My brother did the same on his BSA Lightening in my high school ( with mufflers but epic sound ) .... in North Miami High ... circa 1966 during classes. He had three index cards of offenses with he dean .. front and back .... a most unconventional lad.
As the Sgt. Pepper's album reminded us " And a good time was had by all ".
I remember back then, our (rock) band was playing in the HS auditorium, I was walking down the hallway - in another world - smoking .... and didn't get busted !

Everybody on that stage owes so much to Buddy Holly-what a groundbreaker he was. He influenced so many rockers.
What a WONDERFUL tribute to Buddy Holly...God bless ALL...
FANTASTIC memories ❤️ BRAVO@
What a lineup! Seeing Jeff Bridges playing the hollow-body Gretsch makes one green with envy.
Everybody’s got a story, here’s mine. I was a second generation NFA fan, as The Rolling Stones version was the first 45 I ever bought. And thanks to reading the credits I discovered Buddy Holley.
Unbelievable. Great talent all on one stage ! Wish I could sit in and teach 'em how to jam.
So much talent in one small space , just unbelievable
WOW. Just WOW. RIP, Buddy Holly.
Lotta talent on that stage that night...Wish I had been in the audience....
Love Buddy Holly stuff, with the Bo Diddley beat....Stones style....
So much talent on this stage it is mind numbing!
Legend has it that Buddy heard Bo Diddley play and wrote this song. The "Bo Diddley Beat" here is apparent, great song well performed!
Nope. Wrote it with Norman Petty
@@kingisgonesoareyou It was inspired by Bo, not written by him.
What an incredible night, I'm so happy to have attended.
Lucky man!
You lucky SOB.
Just great musicians . Playing together.
Bonnie's solos get better, tastier as she gets sexier the older she gets. In all my 66 years, she is the hottest, badass chic EVER. I can't take my eyes off her. She looks calmly, confidently at the camera as if to say " eat your heart out, you stupid SOB". Amazing. I just love her. Who said women don't have stage presence. She rules.
I agree but she's is not hot my man like at all.
She has a massive ego, but I can’t blame her! I adore her. 👍🏻💕👍🏻
i would marry her.....:)
You said it. Could not agree more.
Someone said women don't have stage presence??? LOL - she's wayyyyy hot on every level.
The music of Buddy and the Crickets will never fade away.
I would have loved to have seen Jerry Allison on the drums in this performance.
