A date on 'America's Greatest Teenage Recording Stars', the package tour that ran through the eastern United States and Ontario in January 1958, in Erie on Wednesday 22 January 1958. The venue is not documented. The surviving tour listings, including the dedicated Buddy Holly concert chronology, give the city and record the hall as unknown, so this event is filed at city level rather than guessed at. If you have a ticket, a newspaper advertisement or a poster for this night, we would like to see it. Eddie Cochran travelled with a bill headed by the Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly and the Crickets, alongside Paul Anka, the Rays, Danny and the Juniors, the Mello-Kings, the Tuneweavers, the Hollywood Flames, the Royal Teens and Jimmy Edwards, with Jimmie Rodgers, Margie Rayburn, the Shepherd Sisters, Al Jones and Billy Brown also on the tour and Sam Donahue and his orchestra backing the show.
