In The Rock 5/3/1958: A Rock n’ Roll ‘riot’ occurs at the Boston Arena when DJ Alan Freed tells the audience, “The police don’t want you to have fun.” And the crowd goes wild. #alanfreed #RockHonorRoll
I love "Calling All Comets" and "Goofin' Around" by the Comets and I always dug #TheBlueCats' version also. The sound of double bass and drums on these two is incredible!
Not a bad one by #AlanFreed & His Band and #McGuireSisters also.
