Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran - Legends In Concert

Gene Vincent, was an American musician who pioneered the styles of rock and roll and rockabilly. His 1956 top ten hit with his Blue Caps, "Be-Bop-A-Lula", featured here, is considered a significant early example of rockabilly. He is a member of the Rock and Roll and Rockabilly Halls of Fame.
Eddie Cochran was an American rock and roll pioneer who, in his brief career, had a small but lasting influence on rock music. Cochran's rockabilly songs, such as "C'mon Everybody", "Somethin' Else", and "Summertime Blues", captured teenage frustration and desire in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He experimented with multitrack recording and overdubbing even on his earliest singles, and was also able to play piano, bass and drums.

I saw Gene Vincent in about 1964 or 5 at The Wallington Public Hall (UK), I was backstage. He was waiting to go on-stage, was wanting a pint of beer but couldn't go into the auditorium to get it, so I went to get it for him .... that's something I will never forget, the night I bought Gene Vincent a pint !!!!

Tragically, Eddie received his fatal injuries just at the end of the road where I lived and Gene received a broken leg from which he consequently had a permanent limp. I saw the wreck on my way to work in the morning. What a loss of this great talent! 😞 I still visualise the scene with a lump in my throat. 😞

[@Beatle849]

Interesting. You must at least be well into your 80's now. This is the first time I've ever heard from someone who was actually at the scene when it took place.

[@lesdancey7281]

@@Beatle849 Yes, I am 84 in a few weeks. I did not witness the accident as it was early hours of the morning. I believe the driver fell asleep. I saw the car and the felled lamp post on my way into work. I was conscripted into the army a couple of months later to serve my two year's National service. Incidentally, the guy who took over my job was Roger Greenway who, at that time sang with The Kestrels, later to form Cookaway Music with Roger Cook. You will be aware that they wrote many number ones, "I'd like to teach the world to sing" etc., etc., etc. One of my mates is Lofty Mansfield from The Trogs. A great loss. No-one could replicate the sudden change that took place in mid fifties UK and the advert of Rock and Roll. I was studying Belle cantó until Elvis msde Heartbreak hotel, at which time I threw it all up and formed a R&R band, which didn't come to much. People like Gerry Lee Lewis were being thrown in clink for playing "The Devil's music ". 😂 Good luck ☑️

[@stewartfenton7660]

Yes, Gene was a really nice guy, who lived with pain every day of his adult life. He drank heavily to try and dull the pain, and gained a reputation that he really didn't deserve. But I guess if you see a moody drunk guy brandishing a gun, you don't necessarily understand the reason behind it.

[@hectorsamko9339]

@@stewartfenton7660 entiendo lo qué quieres decir , mi padre que en paz descanse siempre decía qué detrás de un alcohólico siempre había un drama , pero que no se confunda , el gran Gene Vincent nunca blandio un arma , bebía si , pero era por los dolores insoportables en la pierna , qué en paz descanse , se nos fué en el 71 con 36 años .

[@stewartfenton7660]

​@@hectorsamko9339I hitchhiked 200 miles to see Gene at the Marquee Club in Soho,London. I found the place early, to make sure I wouldn't be lost or something. There was a little notice on the door saying that Gene was sick and wouldn't be appearing. So I hitchhiked home. Memory does play tricks, but I believe I'm correct that Gene never played another gig, and that he died within a very few days of that. Yes it was 1971. You may be right about the gun, I read it somewhere and took it to be true.

I worked with a guy called Alan Johnson in Birmingham 1964, He claimed to have been a session guitarist and knew Gene. When he asked if I wanted to meet him I thought maybe I'll call his bluff, at 16 years of age I was easily led. The show was due at the Hall Green Technical College about 1/2 a mile from my home. We met at The Three Horse Shoes Pub, made our way to the College opposite and to the door at the side of the stage, "Tell Gene that big Al's here", very quickly Gene appeared on his sticks and clearly he knew Alan. Great show from the wings then a drink at the 'Shoes" after. Gene was drinking Brandy with Export chaser, all paid for by I think his manager Don Arden.

If any of you 56 Rock n Roll guys ever see a Gene Vincent CD in you music shop buy it there are many around most come out of England there not hard to get .I am 67 years old and RnR is the only music i listen to so ROCK IT .

[@frankchilds9848]

Town Hall Party must have been an incredible experience. Anything from Skeets McDonald to Gene Vincent, what a diverse group of talent!

[@jamesmcleesh2688]

those guys bring back a whole lot of memories when I was a Rocking teenager back then , listening to the jukebox and buying their records Thank you from an old rock n roller the and still rocking in my late 70 s .R.I.P to the Greatest

[@johndean4765]

Good for you James mcleesh you experienced the most exciting music of all time when it first came out.

[@aristotle358]

Great to see this sort of footage. I'm only 52 but I loved Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps as well as Eddie Cochran when I was 12 or 13. What a gift youtube is that people can share rarites. Thanks for uploading.

[@BillyJango]

+aristotle358 I agree mate, youtube really is a gift. I like the way you said 'I am only 52' I am 42 and I say 'only 42' regular and I'm sure I will say 'only 52' in ten years time. You are so right though, I was introduced to youtube about ten years ago when I first bought a laptop. I have been addicted to youtube ever since. If you love old music it is all here at your finger tips. My son is 15 so he doesn't appreciate it as much as I do because he has grown up with it. When I was his age I had records and the odd VHS video. Happy days my friend.

[@qrit91]

haha ''im only 52'; and here am i with 24 years. Good to see good music doesnt mind generations

[@hellobonappetit1657]

Gene and company were highly popular in the UK and became influential on many of the young up-and-coming musicians that later became the British Invasion.
