May 3, 1958 - The popular disc jockey Alan Freed hosted the "Big Beat Show" at the Boston Arena (a hockey rink) featuring Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. Accounts vary, but the crowd rushes the stage at various times, and Freed keeps imploring them to sit down - not easy to do when Lewis is playing "Great Balls of Fire." @buddyholly @BuddyHollyCtr #ROCkabillyHop #buddyholly #TheCrickets @ChuckBerry @jerryleelewis #AlanFreed
