- Courtesy of the Clark Santee archives, outstanding footage of Bill Haley and his Comets delivering an unsurpassable version of Big Joe Turner's Shake Rattle And Roll. Not even Elvis could top this mighty version, and plenty of evidence here as to why Haley became the first superstar of rock'n'roll. Excellent solos and back beat from what amounts to one great rock'n'roll band with the one and only Bill Haley firing on all cylinders.

It sounds awesome! Rhythm section! Bass and drums are like a space rocket engine and machine gun! Lov it!!!
Bill always gave it 100 percent brilliant 😊😊😊
Super performance.. I love it!
The great groove is being supplied by the terrific playing of the bassist and drummer. No stand up bass here, either!
They must have been TOLD not to get up and dance or react to
this until it was over - but it sure looked strange & out of place to THIS long-time
rock 'n' roller. No doubt - Bill Haley's SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL is a classic!
Nick Nastos on lead guitar.
Superior musicians. Do we know the names in the rest of the lineup?

@@larsb6276 Rey Cawley on bass (correct spelling btw, it wasn't Ray); Bill Nolte on drums, Ray Parsons on second rhythm guitar (who had to have joined the group no more than a few weeks before this show!), Nick Nastos (a.k.a. Nick Masters) on guitar, and the great Rudy Pompilli - a member of the Comets since 1955 - on sax. Nolte, Cawley and Cawley were actually another group called the Country Showmen who merged with the Comets in 1969. When they toured without Haley, Rudy was added to the Country Showmen lineup. Parsons also recorded as Dorsey Ray Parsons.

I was a bit surprised by the 'wooden audience' aspect myself - 1969 is more recent than I associate with stilted definitions / ideas about something like 'decorum'. So, I looked this up.
This is from a show called "The Show"* that was aimed, particularly, at something like 'bringing young adults and famous performers together to discuss issues of the day and enjoy music / music-making together'. So, there's a rather 'serious theme' / idea underlying the show that I'm sure factored into the presentation. It could certainly be more incongruous to, say, discuss something like "nuclear proliferation" and then "enjoy a 'nice friendly mosh pit'"**... 😄

* The kind of name that makes it _so_ easy to find / identify, heh
_Edit: ** Well, incongruous if you're not in a Peter Sellers-headlined satire ... making a point ..._

Very lively audience couldn't believe my eyes 😂
Staged / imposed, undoubtedly, haha. From a time when people (in certain countries) had strange ideas about 'respect' and 'decorum'.
Yeah, in my mind, sitting on the ground like a piece of petrified wood while gawking at musicians playing lively music is kinda the opposite of 'respect' and ... enjoying that sort of experience. But what the hell do I know?
😄
The audience reaction is understandable. Bill Haley & the Comets seen here in 1969 were of an older generation and could have been parents to these newbie hippie generation teenagers.
Therefore as a consensus, spurred on through subliminal groupthink, they choose not to show any enthusiasm even though the music was awesome. It would have been so uncool if they did.
Super performance shame about stuffed dummy audience !
Agree.
What was wrong with the audience 😮😮…awesome performance though!!
