[@suzannerobbins6293]

Hi Fil! Wow! Back to when I was a preteen! I knew this was the music I was going to be in love with forever! I was so lucky to be a teen in the sixties, and also in the fifties at the birth of rock n roll! You had to have been there to really understand what I am talking about! Can you imagine what our parents thought? Now I am going on 75, and we didn’t turn out to be so bad...lol ✌️

[@maggienorris7833]

Me, too. And I am here to say: Elvis was never the "king of rock n roll."

[@lynndow3185]

It was so cool how Gene seemed relieved right before the solo guitar break, gave a cheeky grin and then you could even hear him laugh before he had to get back to singing! Explaining that he was a bit shy, made it all the more endearing. They call alcohol "liquid courage" for a reason. Well done, Fil, thanks.

[@debravirden7130]

I hear Elvis ,Carl Perkins and the piano influences of Jerry Lee Lewis. Great analysis as always. Rare to see humility in a rock star and Ritchie Valens was modest as well. These bands paved the way for what was yet to arrive and music would never be the same for us.

[@maggienorris7833]

The only Elvis worth listening to for rock n roll fans is the Sun Sessions. Long live Sam Phillips.

[@user-qm7nw7vd5s]

I had always assumed Gene Vincent was British, since I only knew the name from interviews with Beatles, Lennon and McCartney, who often mentioned his influence. Wouldn’t you know, it takes a British guitarist to call my attention to what’s in my own back yard. Love this channel! 👍👍

[@retrothingz]

Over the years I've noticed that some of, if not the best documentaries about American pop culture history have been made by English production companies The Bible of international gold discs was was written by Englisman Joseph Murrell. It was my "Go to" reference when I was a radio music programmer Sill read it today ! The English tend to meticulous researchers

[@genevincentrocks]

Gene Vincent and his second line up of the Blue Caps were the first band with a full Fender line up. Leo Fender supplied them with Strats, bass and amps. Johnny Meeks, the lead guitarist, played a Gretsch and a triple necked guitar (Mosrite maybe?) when he first joined the band.

[@mmccartney6579]

When this song came out in 1956, I was 12 years old that year. I remember the very beginnings of what is now referred to as rock n' roll like it was yesterday Great review, yet again, Fil !! Cheers, mate !! :)

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

Loved your analysis of the guitar. Enjoyed your guitar playing. Sounded very cool. I think I was one to request this reaction. I also, liked that you researched Gene and gave a nice introduction. He was a pioneer and people compared his sound to Elvis. It was different than what I expected from the audios. I remember listening to this record as a teen and thought it was Elvis. You are so right he lacks confidence but had a great sound. His band complimented his performance. Thank you for your reaction. I would like to suggest two artist that are still with us. Both classic guitarist. They are very diversified in their music. I first saw them on PBS and have seen them in concert. First Pablo concert from Greece. Second Benice concerts Fuego and Fiesta.

[@drewpall2598]

I know this concert of Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran date back to the late 1950's I wish there is a clean sounding copy that exist. Keep Boppin' through the history of music Fil.

[@ScareVision]

What’s amazing is this sound still exists and still the coolest rock n roll on the planet

[@sparky6086]

One thing to keep in mind about Gene Vincent is; since one of his legs was mangled in the motorcycle accident, so it severely limited his movement on stage. At least, they recognized that limitation & had the bit of choreography which took into account his physical limitations. Btw: People should attempt to sing "Be Bop a Lula", and they will appreciate how difficult it is to sing!

[@ivannovotny4552]

It was quite a performance for 1957 - in the era of Bill Haley and His Comets. Thank you Fil for sharing.

[@Yardbirds777]

So I watched this after watching your Gene Vincent, Over the Rainbow. Sorry, a year late! I've seen that clip on KZbin before. He looks soo young and healthy there. Thanks for giving a summary of his career. Jack Good put him in leather which became his trademark. He was a troubled boy though exacerbated by pain killers for his leg and alcohol. Joe Brown recounts how he pulled a knife out on the tour they were on with Eddy Cochrane that ended in such tragedy. There's another great video of Gene in Don't Knock the Rock UK. It's also available on KZbin.

[@glenkepic3208]

Nice, Fil. Loved the back story at the end, though tragic. This, same year as me. Grew up with this. Knew 'cliff' but needed help. Cliff Gallup was the man. Great player. Story was Howard Reed was hired later. Might be him here on a white Strat. Side bit, there was a Guitar World magazine center fold in the mid '80s with a black Strat with HAR silver metal initials, Howard Reed's guitar. Apparently the first Strat ordered in black. I had the pic thumb tacked in my garage. Joe Bonamassa saw it as a kid, too. He now owns the guitar !

[@venderstrat]

George Harrison's guitar (Rocky) his 63 Strat has BeBopaLuLa on it. Just checked - it'a a '61, same as me.

[@retroactive1autrey668]

Mr. Phil, how did he do the amazing things he did before and after every phrase with the dramatic and tonally accurate intakes of breath? Keep on keeping on with your strong breakdowns of everything music throws at you.

[@drewpall2598]

Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps had that raw sound that it was hard to just sit still. some of my favorite "Gene & the Blue Caps" songs are (Be-Bop-A-Lula, Bluejean Bop, Race With the Devil, Dance to the Bop) among others. Great demonstration tonight. I'm sure You could do a killer version of Be-Bop-A-Lula Fil.

[@MigdaliaTomalinas-os2nz]

I agree he had a great sound for dancing. I was a teenager at the time and for some unknown reason I didn’t follow Gene’s career but I love this song.

[@STVG71]

[@Cimmerian415]

Man oh man this is such a great song!!! When I was a kid I remember my dad playing this on a 78rpm Capitol Records label. And it sounded so scratchy and dirty on our old hi-fi stereo I loved it. I had read somewhere later on that Gene Vincent was Capitol Record's answer to Elvis...makes sense to me.

[@davidlee6720]

this was before his crippling motor-cycle accident - he carried on and became even more interesting as a rock-and-roller and consequently an heroic figure to all bikers as well. Always wondered why he looked upwards but realize now it was possibly because of the nervousness he felt before a crowd of people. One of the greats just for this song alone. Timeless. Beginning of an new era.

[@markeddeckmusic7202]

no it wasnt, accident was in 1953

[@bomahker]

And then his leg was f**ked up even more from the car wreck he was in that killed Eddie Cochran.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

He might be the stone that got British rock rolling.

[@davidcantwell2489]

That, arguably, would have been Eddie Cochran. To this day they, mostly Rockers and 59'ers, hold vigil on the anniversary of his death, at the site where he died along with a bronze plaque honoring him.

[@konstantia1607]

The stone that got British rock rolling---cool way to put it! Gene and Eddie Cochran both played a big part, I think. I've had a little research project going, and I happened to find that so much British rock history intersects at (someone who played with both Eddie and Gene) Tony Sheridan. Very kind person, also very volatile. He was an artistic powerhouse. I've come to doubt there would have been any Beatles, as we know them, without Tony. They called him Teacher. George remained a close friend and said everything he ever knew about rock and roll came from Tony. I think he kept them literally alive during their dangerous time in Hamburg. Tony was a sensation there, and a major reason for rock music becoming popular. It's why American rock stars travelled to appear there and the UK: Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Brenda Lee, and others. Tony toured with them all as a guitarist. And it was his single "My Bonnie" that wound up getting the Beatles' career to take off .... He made plenty of waves, and he also was mad about privacy and not celebrity---probably why there's so much baloney on Wikipedia and Beatles sites on Tony. But I'm just amazed at the story I'm finding, with a little bit of digging, of his huge influence on music history.

[@lynndow3185]

@@konstantia1607 That's more than a 'little' research project! It's lots of details to me, all interconnected and wow! Thanks for writing this out.

[@konstantia1607]

@@lynndow3185 Oh Lynn, thank you. Do you know the expression "a perfect storm"? It describes Tony's entire life. And it also perfectly describes when he and I met. Intense and hopeless. If I had any connections to a screenwriter, I'd give him the story. I've never heard of another experience at all like it. Only just recently did pieces fall into place and I began to understand, from back when I was a teenager. Most of the video online of Tony performing isn't great---well, Fil should be the judge of that! There's one clip on KZbin where he sings "Nobody's Child", "his" song. And there's one much later where he's in better shape giving a history tour of the Hamburg scene in the sixties. He does a short demonstration of My Bonnie in that, and tells about early rock history---you'd like it. Tony was really very sweet.

[@lynndow3185]

Omigosh, Konstantia! Yes, the perfect storm is the perfect expression to describe Tony Sheridan's life. I just finished reading his Wikipedia page. Your relationship had to have been truly memorable! Trying to tell his story would involve one of those detective story boards with all the people and events connected by string! Complicated. ...I got a kicker right at the end of the page as I used to run into those Guru Rajneesh followers a lot when my husband and I lived in Southern Oregon. Strange days, indeed.

[@judiroth7855]

Wow, I used to dance to this - thanks, Fil👏🌈👍⭐️❤️

[@floaty10]

Johnny Meeks was a good guitarist, but he wasn’t Cliff Gallup. Very sad that there is no film of Cliff playing with the blue caps. He came up with the riffs for the most well known blue caps tunes. Thankfully still got the first two albums to listen too. Great vid as usual.

[@dalem8332]

Good performance Great Sound! Sad to be taken so young! Love the early rockabilly! Burton Cummings formerly of The Guess Who did a GREAT cover of Gene's song 'Woman Love' (which was the B side of Gene's Be Bop A Lula single) on Burton's 4th solo album.

Nice seeing Gene Vincent getting some recognition for his contribution to the early days of rock. I'd love for you to give the late great dutch band Shocking Blue an in depth analysis. Specifically "Never marry a railroad man". The guitar player & chief songwriter Robbie van Leeuwen was extremely underrated and overlooked. I think you would dig them especially from 1968 through 1971 which was their best & most productive years. Cheers!

Thanks Fil, for doing a video on one of my all-time favorites, Gene Vincent. From this era I am also a big fan of Johnny Horton. There are more and more videos of him being discovered over time. There are two songs "Sal's Got A Sugarlip" and "I'm Ready If You're Willing" that are totally live and well filmed with a classic combo of electric guitar, acoustic guitar and stand up bass and the second song has added electric bass and backup singers. I'd like to request you take a look at them and do an analysis video if you feel they warrant a closer look. Thanks.

I feel so sad about Gene such a talent a top performer I think we over look the fact of the pain medications on his career and life and passing. The money behind all of these deaths has not ever been properly dealt with this is the sadist thing not just Gene suffered this fate love his music Genius

[@chipurBillWhite]

Who knows what was going on in Gene’s brain. But what an awful feeling knowing you’re great at what you do, you really want to do it, but you can’t make it happen…

[@2011littlejohn1]

He had a unique style - sort of hesitant as though he was going to miss the beat but he never did. I met a band - the Wild Angels (or some similar name) who backed him on a UK tour in the 70's - featured in a documentary. I was green with envy as I watched the guitar player in the film struggle with a lick Gene Vincent was showing him and I could play it instantly. :) I was talking to the piano player - great musician - think he got more recognition later on.

[@genevincentrocks]

Bill Kingston was the piano player in the Wild Angels. The documentary was from 1969, called The Rock n Roll Singer. It is here on KZbin but a sad thing to watch. Gene was only to live until 1971 and had physically changed a lot but his voice remained great.

[@2011littlejohn1]

@@genevincentrocks Gene was the real thing. Bill was a great guy and very helpful. I met him at a night club in Sunderland and at the time was just a beginner and wanted to figure out George Harrison's solo on Lang Tall Sally. He described it in great detail. For a rock and roll guy he was unusual for those days as most of us were self taught and knew no technical details about music. :) I hasten to add nowadays I'm well aware of the difference between Ab and C. :)

Probably this is why I have such a liking for Rockabilly. I've watched the video you did of Carl Perkins and George Harrison several times, what a great concert. George almost injured Dave Edmonds with his smile. BTW I wonder if you've done a video with Dave Edmonds, either with Love Sculpture or Rockpile.

I requested this from you about a year ago but I'll mention it again, you really ought to react to Lori Collins (of the Collins Kids) doing her slow bluesy cover of "Rock Boppin' Baby" on this same venue, The Town Hall Party. She quite literally 'drips' with sensuality on that performance!

[@wingsofpegasus]

Yes the Collins Kids video was a while ago now!

[@39thala]

@@wingsofpegasus Yes, but that was a different song than the one I'm suggesting. However, I did watch the one you did before.

Great work as always Phil , would love you to do your analysis on Steve Howe out of the YES, stay safe

[@Rob-on-the-Road]

The backing band here was not Gene's original band The Blue Caps with Cliff Gallup on guitar , who was one of the best technical guitarists back in those days. Don't forget if nobody started playing or inventing 'the riffs' then the sound wouldn't evolve. I've watched players like Buddy Holly playing the B7 on the first and second fret so they could pick and open a string or drop the pinky around the chord and then mute and slide. Also they'd drop a B9 in around the fifth fret A (E shape). The video you're watching was the Town Hall Party.

[@warrenmilford1329]

That's a really great live sound, and the way it was recorded, for the technology of the time. All they seem to have is their little amps. Sometimes live recordings from this era are pretty bad. Edit- Marc Bolan always claimed, that when he was a young fella, he met Eddie Cochran, and carried his guitar into one of the gigs on that joint UK tour. Bolan was influenced by them, and covered "Summertime Blues".

[@jeffmcrae795]

Phil, please also keep in mind that Cliff Gallup, the guitarist on those quintessential rockabilly recordings of Genes ( Blue Jean Bop, Race with the Devil, Be Bop A Lula, Woman Love and others) had left the band and Johnny Meeks replace d him.
