I did this last year at the same time and so I thought I'd do it again.
49 years ago tonight, The Winter Dance Party tour kicked off at George Devine's Million Dollar Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI. Luckily we now have pictures that we can associate with that very special night. Waylon was nervous as hell, looking at Tommy to catch some cues and Carl Bunch took a while to get used to playing in an honest to God, professional rock and roll show. A native Californian, Ritchie Valens, began to understand just what real cold, is.
The whole troupe was excited, I'm sure, and little did they know just how special this time in all their lives would end up being.
In the next eleven days, there would be bad times and some good, but most of all, it was a tour that all rock and roll fans of all ages should know about, and should always remember.
Just a little commemoration to mark this special day.
