BILL HALEY AND HIS COMETS 1950s-70s
TV, movie and newsreel compilation. A Bill Haley and his Comets fan delight! This is a superb collection of Bill Haley and his Comets performances featuring some amazingly rare material. Awesome color footage from the 1958 German film "Hier Bin Ich, Hier Bleib Ich" (Here I Am, Here I Stay). NBC TV special "Atlantic City Holiday."

Live from the famous Star Club in Hamburg. Famous footage of arrival in England. German newsreels. Color home movie footage of the Jodimars. Amazing color home movie footage on the set of "Rock Around The Clock." Silent footage of German fans. Lots of footage from the famous German concert where the fans go ape and destroy the venue. Prior to the violence, the isles pack with jitterbugging teenagers.

Fans rush down from the higher seats to join the ruckus at floor level. Then, bedlam erupts and the police form lines to hold mob back! Insane JD madness with roughneck teenagers being hauled away by Gestapo-looking police! Chairs are thrown into a pile, glass breaks and the police hose down the crowd. If you're into JDs and rock n roll, this is the Holy Grail!

Songs include: "Rock Around The Clock," "See You Later Alligator," "Rock A Beatin' Boogie," "When The Saints Go Marching In," "Razzle Dazzle," "Birth of the Boogie," "Corinna Corinna," "Forty Cups of Coffee," "Rudy's Rock," "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy," "R-O-C-K," "Rip It Up," "Shake, Rattle and Rock," "Ooh! Look-A There, Ain't She Pretty," "Viva Le Rock and Roll," "Crazy Man, Crazy," "Straight Jacket" and any more.

Plus this bonus selection...

You won't find this stuff anywhere else! Review by Bernard

Some of the video quality is not great...but this is *really* rare stuff for the most part and I'm sure the only source material was not good to begin with. Sound quality is good! This was worth it for me because I have played with Haley's guitarist, Franny Beecher for about 5 years before his death.Lots of great rare footage of Franny as well as Jodimars home movies. If you're really into rare Haley this is worth your while. You won't find this stuff anywhere else! (Posted on 10/6/17)
