I remember seeing Gene perform many times in the Colston Hall Bristol in he early sixties. He was ELECTRIFYING! Dressed head to toe in black leather...silver medallion....black curls falling around his face, hunched over the mic and as raw and ferocious as a genuine rock 'n roller should be. He sure was a hard act to follow in those days. But even then he was already enslaved by his material (doing all his Classics from 56 -60 )and the Beatles were waiting in the wings. As for Cliff Gallup...he wrote the book of rockin' guitar.(along with Paul Burlison ) Just ask Jeff Beck!! We wont see their likes again... pjc
