Eddie was like 50 years ahead from his time , he was a really good guitar player and also a great singer , watching Eddie in this video is electrifying.

[@thomasnigrelli6111]

Eddie Cochran was the best rock and roll musician of all time. Pure and simple. Died way too young. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

[@robharding4028]

I often keep coming back to this clip, for the simple reason, its the birth of rock n Roll, Eddie was right up there with Little Richard and The king.

[@jobracci4583]

Amazing 🙏🙏🥲🙂🥲😊

[@snab11]

It's time to make a movie about eddie, not a low budgeted movie but a quality film like bohemian, title choice, cherished memories, 3 steps to heaven or summertime blues. It will gonna be a hit like la Bamba, and eddie's music will be re introduce to the new generations

[@robotnik77]

They gotta play the songs right. I've heard a lot of imitators, and they just can't "get it". Most of the bands are quite sloppy. I'd like to add "Nervous Breakdown" to the program of the proposed movie, as the visual was great, and Eddie performed it with shimmy's and shakes accompanying the lyrics, and you could imagine a fellow in various stages of, well, a nervous breakdown! Too bad we don't have a video of him performing that! Well, if a director asked me how Eddie performed it, I could tell him, if I'm still around.

[@robharding4028]

I agree, its way overdue !

[@TheThaggs]

I don't there has ever been a good music biopic. Cash, Lewis, Holly or Valens, they didn't do justice to the artists.

Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly are forever frozen in time in the Fifties. I wish they had lived into the Sixties at least to see them change and grow musically. It would have been Something Else! Now we will never know what could have been. 😢

[@ronmanfredo9550]

Eddie was the coolest! He influenced so many musicians. Best music of all time!

[@robotnik77]

This backing group, except for the Drummer, Gene Riggio, is not the backing group he took on his Midwest tour later in '59. It was Riggio on drums, Dave Shriver on bass, and two others. They were known alternately as The Kelly Four, or The Hollywood Swingers. Guitarist Mike Deasy went on to become a studio guitarist in The Wrecking Crew.

[@hhnry7929]

That’s what makes people even more sad thinking about their passing. The music and everything they could have accomplished. RIP EDDIECOCHRAN

[@johnbaringer5933]

Eddie was actually a studio musician till someone asked if he would try singing. So he could play guitar with the best of them. He modified his Gretsch , if u look closely, he changed the neck pickup, and a few more modifications, a few years ago Gretsch came out with an Eddie Cochran signature model built the same way Eddie built his. What a great tribute to a great entertainer.

[@GonzGunner]

He changed the neck pickup to a dog ear P-90. It gave him the "big sound" he wanted from the 6120, it definitely can be heard on the intros to "Come On Everybody" and "Summertime Blues", he got the best of the P-90 and the DeArmond he left in the bridge position. A local guitarist who I have known for many years uses an Eddie configured 6120 reissue as his main guitar, through a vintage blackface Fender Deluxe Reverb.

[@boblstclair4023]

Yeah, looks like a P90 at the neck

[@Elvis-guy1973]

And it costs a fortune!😂😂

[@chrisst8922]

Joe Brown tells the story that when Eddie toured the UK he showed how he replaced the wound third with a plain second that could be bent more easily.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Watch the tall "Sax-man" diggin Eddies riffs and Eddie looks at him and almost laughs....raises his spirits. Fantastic stuff.

This performance took place four days after Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens tragically died in a plane crash. Eddie and Buddy were very good friends and Buddy's death hit Eddie very hard. The great performance Eddie does here shows what a consummate professional he was even though he was grieving for his friend.

The sad thing is that most young Americans have never heard of this American Legend called Eddie Cochran!

[@michaelcraig9449]

Why just mention USA? Why not mention the whole world? The whole world needs to know about him.

[@JAGreen-lj9zi]

You're both wrong Eddie Cochran was well known and is still well known yo people from the era he was popular in. He was a big rock and roll singer in that time he was heard of and known all over the world. It's u that don't know much about him n your age group b cuz y'all were born many years after he had died. And he was n the beginning, of his making hits he was heard of and well known just like Elvis and b cuz he looked a little like Elvis. It is you very young people they haven't heard of him. Because that style of music is not played on the charts and the people that you look upon as sex symbols are people that are in your age as singers and rock and roll just like in every era of music

Why not, you can use it to damp the strings for a double bass sound. Or you can use it when you want to play bariton Guitar licks on the Bass. Listen to carol kaye she play the bass offen with this damp (?) sound, listen the Beach Boy song "good vibration" and other songs of the Pet Sound Album she play the bass there.

I have seen a few live recordings of Eddie but this is the best. I had The Eddie Cochran Memorial album given to me on my 21st Birthday in 1968 ... I still have it x it's still one of my favourite albums.

[@pjriverdale8461]

Gear Alert- Leo Fender supplied the THP amp backline and was often in the audience. Here you can see numerous shots of a " big box" high powered Fender Twin Amp equipped with a single 15" Altec speaker. "Single 15" equipped Twins were not available to the retail public. During the 1958 Johnny Cash THP footage, his guitar player, Luther Perkins is playing through a prototype brown Tolex Fender Concert Amp with no faceplate. The amp would be publicly released at the end of 1959. On at least one THP show, mention is made from the stage referencing the Fender equipment that Leo supplied. THP was broadcast from 400 S. Long Beach Blvd, Compton CA, not far from the Fender factory then at 500 S. Raymond Ave, Fullerton, CA.

I would NOT want to die by sacrificing my life for a STUPID girl who had allegedly promised him marriage. If there is any truth in the claim of this strange girl (she's a woman of more than 80 years now - IF SHE STILL LIVES AT ALL) OR NOT A FALSE FEMALE YELLOW PRESS GOSSIP,....no one can prove that. I watched her in an English documentary on Eddie Cochran televised in the early 80s + it looked to me that she was nothing but a very unimpotant person who had happened to intrude into Eddie's precious private life by obsessively bothering him. What an "irony" that Eddie died in the SAME car where she had intruded again + so Eddie could NOT testify anything. You believe EVERY NONSENSE WOMEN TELL YOU, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE DEMENTED IN A NURSING HOME + CHATTER EVEN MORE ABSURD CRAP: YOUR PRIVATE NAIVE LIFE MUST BE REALLY AWFUL.....BUT NAIVE MEN INCURABLY OBSESSED BY ABSURD FAIRY TALES OF DEMENTED OR PRE-DEMENTED WOMEN; CAN MOSTLY NOT BE CURED.

Let the guitar player play it.The guitar player regretted teaching dick how to play it.Dick looks to the guitarist & smiles at the guitarist. Like look at me.I don't know how great a guitarist Dick was.when he played that guitar piece it needed alot of work to add feeling.The guitarist almost refused taking the guitar back.If see him he is frustrated.when every one is interviewed the guitarist was nowhere to be found.He was so peeved he had to go smoke a cigarette.Love is the key...
