Brian Setzer - Buddy Holly Medley (1988 PBS) "Rock Around With Ollie Vee" & "Oh Boy"

[@joegongora2200]

Brian Setzer did a splendid job with his tribute to Buddy Holly. After all Buddy Holly was one of his main influences in becoming a Rockstar.

[@hmackie6823]

Brian was born for this as was I...we love this music.

[@bobcarter6869]

What an excellent tribute to the great Buddy Holly

[@hmackie6823]

I've seen the best heard thebest yet turns out a kid one year older than me from Long Iland New York is my Musical Hero!

[@AnitaVickers-ey2nw]

Always been a stray cats fan since 1980. Brian Setzer is a legend. Buddy Holly would be smiling down at him. Go go Brian. ❤

[@hmackie6823]

[@hmackie6823]

[@pennywise8182]

This was during Brian's "Live Nude Guitars" era......That album is a classic.👏👏👏

[@hmackie6823]

Friday March 11, 1983 CU Events Center, Boulder, Colorado. C.U. Homecoming Dance. I still have my ticket. They played Oh Boy on the second encore. No seating on, "The Big Dance Floor". We danced through the whole show. Thanks for posting this video.

[@rodwolfeoldiesradiodj6545]

You're welcome and thanks for sharing such great memories!

[@hmackie6823]

Read something recently about the tour Buddy and the Rest of the acts were on.Later to be named the tour from Hell,had them traveling in Wisconsin Michiigan Iowa,in dead of Winter.Was noted that their bus drove past the venue they played more than once,forcing them to travel 100's of miles out of their way.

[@hmackie6823]

Imagine what he could have done,in a Full life?1

[@wademarchand4441]

First time seeing this was a lot of fun. Well done!!

[@rodwolfeoldiesradiodj6545]

Thanks so much!

[@clairegmusician]

Really moanin that voice 🤘👍

[@hmackie6823]

Buddy died at the young age of 22 February 3rd,1959...he had recorded OVER 50 songs.

[@davidmoellenberndt6887]

Awesome!!

[@stefanruppert1842]

Brian setzer spielt in seiner eigenen klasse -> weltklasse!!!😊😊

[@AthelstanEngland]

[cough] Mr Kristofferson... The Stray Cats started a rockabilly revival in the UK took years for their own USA to recognise them.

[@tonyrubush288]

We had Robert Gordon way before them.

[@wecu2751]

Wow!!!😃 Thanx!!!💜👍

[@geraldking4080]

Thanks!!! Totally bitchin' rockabilly.

[@Kahuna54]

Brian is a very talented player and singer! Just try covering some of his music!

[@jimlutz8092]

There are no two people I would rather hear doing Buddy Holly songs than Brian Setzer and John Fogerty. They both captured his songs and his voice perfectly. Fogerty was like listening to Buddy himself, but with an even more powerful voice, and Setzer was too vocally, but with even better guitar playing than most people in electric guitar history can match. Both great tributes to the Man, with flawless performances.

[@Mncrr]

With one exception. Marshall Crenshaw. Possibly the finest interpreter of buddy Holly.

[@davidrice3337]

neither one can hold a candle to Joe Ely - check out his live version of "Oh Boy" John and Brian aren't even close

[@arvantis]

I LOVE BH too, but I have to throw in a vote for Marshall Crenshaw. His cover of "Crying, Waiting, Hoping", is A+.

[@NMagChiTown]

True but I hate 80s versions of early rock tunes lol Setzer at least played it old-school, which is why the Stray Cats were successful. They sound old school. Didn't really like Fogerty's versions on this particular show.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Love the Stray Cats, love Buddy Holly. Shows how much influence Buddy had/has on music artists.

[@Jimmy-toothless]

Well done MR

[@redline296]

Probably should’ve done a biography/movie with Setzer in it back then

[@hmackie6823]

Chris wrote many songs including Me and Bobby MaGee

[@josephlemko3027]

Setzer is outstanding! 😎🎵🎶✌️

[@Moe-lq6kf]

I like hearing Gary Busey do Buddy Holly music he actually done all the singing in the movie. None of that was lip-synching he actually played the guitar.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Tulsas Gary Busey “made” the Buddy Holly Story movie, phenomenal movie/actor.

[@SteveK77536]

This is great. Like Hendrix doing Chuck Berry.

[@MasterSly10]

rock n roll best music ever

[@martinleicht5911]

😎 👍 🔥🔥🔥

[@GgM-bs1fu]

Hi, would you be able to post the entire PBS special, including the funding credits?

[@rodwolfeoldiesradiodj6545]

Hello, I've tried in the past to upload the whole tape, but always had content blocked. I do plan to try again in the future. If there are any funding credits on my VHS it would be WLEV FM 96 radio in the Lehigh Valley. Anytime I recorded something this special to me, I rarely would just let tape roll, I would rather watch live to make sure I was getting it all with no disruption. I would also hit the "pause" button during breaks, so much of the in between segment chatter was not recorded.

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

If Ollie vee married buddy holly she would have been Ollie Holly

[@marcdelente2456]

Non pas ok Brian peut tout chanté blues country rockabilly et aussi des ballades des mélodies ce mec que je suis depuis 55 ans de ma vie je l ai vu démarrer avec les Stray Cats et après ces autres j'ai fait plusieurs pays du de vegas a Berlin de Austin a Tokyo a Paris Brian est le plus grand guitariste du monde et Eddy qui est au ciel le et est fière de lui. Que dieu protège Brian et ces musiciens. La dernière grande légende et en plus bien vivante.

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

R.I.P Kris Kristofferson

[@carllawler2837]

John Lennon did well with Holly covers ....

[@peteraustin370]

Could never play guitar like Brian Setzer though...!!!!!!!

[@チンカス·インティライミ知恵遅れ]

やっぱりブライアン・セッツァーはカッコいい！
