Trivia
Bill Haley & His Comets' appearance coincided with the reissue of their original 1954 recording of "Rock Around the Clock" entering the Top 40 in both the UK and US, thanks to its use on 'Happy Days' and 'American Graffiti'. Around this time, the band recorded a live album at Hammersmith Palais.
