I knew if I had my chance, I could make these people dance
In honour of the fiftieth anniversary of “The day the Music Died,” have a look at this version of La Bamba that I… stumbled upon. It’s amazing! And it’s hilarious. (Shout-outs to Johnnie, ’cause I know you love The Gipsy Kings.)
You can tell that the audience is overwhelmed and feeling out of place, desperate to match the wild energy on stage. Everyone is CLAPPING, like OVER CLAPPING but you can see on their faces that it’s NOT ENOUGH!! These people need to break into dance, maniac styles, cause they’re doomed to remember this event as this totally awesome thing they could see and hear but could not TOUCH! I’m glad I wasn’t there because I get the feeling I’d be so energized by the performance I’d probably get the urge to shoot into the crowd or bite somebody that I didn’t know.
