Search - John Mueller and the Winter Dance Party Band :: 40th Anniversary of the Winter Dance Party Tour

25 classic songs of the legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper recorded live in 1999 from the 40th anniversary of the Winter Dance Party tour featuring critically acclaimed John Mueller as Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson, jr(the Big Bopper's son!)and Ernie Valens(Ritchie's cousin!). This CD is filled with raw, exciting and energetic rock and roll, exactly as it must have been performed 40 years ago. There is no other live CD of this music with as much authenticity to details. The recordings were taken from an exact and painstakingly re-creation of the original Winter Dance Party Tour of 1959 and are undubbed or changed. After listening you'll know first hand why February 3rd, 1959 is known as "The Day the Music Died." Bonus track of "Hey, Buddy" (Tribute to Buddy Holly)is also included! Over 68 minutes of music make this two CD's in one.
