I was in seventh grade in a Catholic school in Chicago when our teacher, a nun, announced the death of Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper in a plane crash. I was aware of the music of all three and it appeared our teacher was too. She was very solemn and asked that the class bow our heads and recite a prayer for the souls of the three departed. I still remember that scene as if it happened yesterday.

[@igotnoname4557]

I'd call it more of an early attempt at rock. It's definitely not perfected. The bass isn't electrified yet which is clearly a limiting factor in their sound. The way it's mic'ed up is just not really working. A bass in a tin can isn't really a bass. Also, the drum kit sounds like it has one mic for all of the drums. It would never be done that way, today. The drums typically have a mic for nearly everything. I don't really hear the rhythm, at all. Today, the rhythm guitar would be loud compared to everything else to, sort of, cover for the lead. The only guitar I'm hearing is the lead...and it's being played like a rhythm, TBH. There really isn't any lead, so no solo either. I wouldn't call this rock by todays standards but it's a stepping stone.

[@TomElvisSmith]

To address the concerns of those commenting about the audio and picture quality; Ed Sullivan used kinoscopes until July 1959, when he switched over to video tape. As a result, at that time, there is a marked increase in sound and video quality. Most TV shows of the '50's were recorded on kinoscopes as that was all that was available. We are fortunate that the Ed Sullivan shows were preserved as many kinoscopes of other shows are lost. As for uploading in HD, video footage can only look as good as the source material. Whether or not someone uploads in HD, it won't truly be HD if it wasn't shot in HD, and HD didn't exist then. Some people have uploaded this Buddy Holly footage with fake HD, and by over-laying the studio recording over the original audio track, which is why their posts sound technically better. Here you are getting the footage in its original form, with live audio (not an over-laid studio recording matched up to the original live performance) and looking the way it was originally broadcasted in 1957. You have to make allowances for the technology that was available at the time. Of course, the shows from the fall of 1959 onward exist in better condition since they were recorded on videotape and the technology progressively got better. Let's not discourage them from uploading these vintage kinoscopes, because the 1950's (as well as the early 1960's) episodes of Ed Sullivan featured some of the greatest performers, and much of the footage is quite rare. I'd love to see all the musical performances from the black and white episodes.

AI is getting remarkably good at upconversion lately ... it's still wonky, but who knows how well we'll be able to revive footage in the future? But for now, you're correct. I'm curious where we'll be in a decade though.

[@ronniebishop2496]

Desi Arnez was the first to film his show, what foresight.

[@Dreyno]

@Joe Cosgrove Those newscasts were most likely not blurry when they were first broadcast. Tape deteriorates over time and depending on storage. Then it’s often played back on old machines with worn or dirty heads. And then captured with sub optimal hardware and software. I sometimes see stuff on KZbin I remember watching live and the difference in quality is huge.

[@kekwayblaze3176]

That was the technology back then for sure and it can't be changed even with modern technology.. Maybe someday a technology can be invented to restore footage like this to modern day technology.

Damn, I've went my whole life without listening to Buddy Holly. Listened to this yesterday and it's been stuck in my head all day. It's punk AF. Most of the bands I listen to wouldn't be here today w/o him.

The music , the colossal hits he created in the amount of time he walked the Earth . Staggering ..

Never gets old. The inflection of his voice brings it all together.
