That was a great video of the history of the Surf and the night the music died. I will definitely make the trip there to see all the nostalgic items and memories of the Surf Ballroom.
what an experience 60 years removed but im happy to see that they havent demolished that place because it holds a special place in rock n roll history. great video.
It''s a special place,. It's been there since 1947. It's one of the only "original ballrooms" left in the nation. It is now on the list of historic places. It's landmark that's why they preserve it. Many other famous performers other than those 3 have graced that stage.
I was just at the Winter Dance Party celebration last weekend at the Surf and saw Don McClean perform 'American Pie' on February 3, the anniversary of the day the music died...pretty surreal.
Dion Dimucci was the fourth headliner there that night in 1959. Strange how nobody ever mentions him. His story about that night is here on his channel on TH-cam. He has some interesting details to add about the "tour from hell" that he was with them on during that tragic night.
Excellent video of the Surf Ballroom and good things said about it. Nice moments about the three performers with the day the music died, too. 👏🏻👍 Thanks.
Loved your video and your narration style. Fortunately, we will go there this weekend. I really hope you can make it to Lubbock to see the Buddy Holly Center.
I'm from Ireland and like you I was shaking and had goosebumps on my arms when I got to visit sun studios it was incredible, to be in the footsteps of your heroes, the original grand ole opry building has a great feel too. It's funny though when I went to Graceland I felt no buzz felt like I was intruding.
It’s fantastic that Clearlake takes pride and continues to maintain this piece of Rock n Roll history. Thanks I enjoyed this!!!
“Rave on!!”🎸🎸🎸
I appreciate that brother! Yes, it is definitely a great town that knows how to keep a historic place up!

Hey, I appreciate that! Yes, this is a VERY special place!
The Cavern on the other hand...
They have concerts there and it is still used. The Winter Dance Party was canceled in 2021 but I went to the WDP every year from 2014 through 2020.

The real Rock and Roll hall of fame.

Was there over memorial weekend 2021 what an experience
Blessed be their memories.
I was there on May 7 2021 it was wonderful
My dream is to go here one day
63 years ago tonight. Such a loss for everyone.
My Buddy often plays there on the anniversary .( Albert Lee )
My mom was born in June 1959
The day that the WDP played at the Surf, Feb. 2, 1959, was my mother’s 40th birthday.
I was 18 in 1959 in a little rock band doing Buddies songs.
I saw a Flag Guitar that Neal McCoy sells. I bought one. I was a baby when the music died but I know all about it. So sad.
Hey Sherry, thank ya for sharing! It was before my time..... But, I think anyone that loves music can feel the pain of that day still.
@@jimerado2150 I WASN'T old enough So many talked About It, I watched the movie and read all about it/
Field trip music history edition
Saw cheap trick play there. It's quite a historical place.
A video with nice things on these musicians.
I wish they would quit coinnig that phrase. The music did not die that day. R & R lived on and so did WAYLON and gave us many yrs of great music.
@@PK-bh1ww sorry. Changing my response. 🤭
Sonho em conhecer esse lugar histórico
