Low End Bee Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) I never knew this existed. Some nice chap put a link up on the Mojo forum. It's an amazing time capsule and very said to see how poor old Gene was pretty much washed up by 34. I'm guessing purveyers of epheremal tosh today don't get treated as shabbily as a rock n roll legend did 44 years ago. Not being able to find Be Bop A Lula so the band could learn it on the cassette player at the rehearsal studio in Croydon is among the many great bits. What's that prehistoric looking thing the Wild Angels bass player is playing? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuYfqJMIiyk[/media] Edited March 25, 2013 by Low End Bee Quote
Lynottfan Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Cheers for that, Gene never was the same after surviving the car crash he was in that killed Eddie Cochran, but still sweet Gene vincent he will always be! Quote
keeponehandloose Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 well past his prime on this , but how could he ever top those first 2 albums..! Quote
thisnameistaken Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I only know him as Ian Dury's rock and roll hero, but he gets plenty of respect for that. Quote
keeponehandloose Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 look for his 1956 / 57 recordings, Cliff Gallup on guitar, Jeff Becks hero. Vincent would nt have been heard of if not for the band on that early stuff... Quote
Monckyman Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Cliff Gallup still keeps me interested , since I was 15 That was quite depressing though wasn't it? Less than ten years after his best hits. Quote
BetaFunk Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Fascinating film. I loved the Teds at the beginning. Like poor Gene they were on their last legs and their hell raising days were well behind them. Quote
