More info

A date on Lee Gordon's Big Show, the package that brought Bill Haley and His Comets to Australia in January 1957, at the Tivoli Theatre in Adelaide from Friday 11 January 1957 to Saturday 12 January 1957 - two shows on the Friday and three on the Saturday. Haley headlined a bill with the Platters, LaVern Baker, Big Joe Turner, and Freddie Bell and the Bell Boys. It was the first time most Australians had seen an American rock and roll act in the flesh, and Gordon would repeat the formula that October with Little Richard, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran.
