thanks for the information, I’ll go check those out if I can find them. Thank you for pointing out which photos are yours. Really excited to hear from you!
I was the Road Manager for The Bobby Fuller Four 1966. I took alot of the photos shown on this video over a 5 year period. Randy, Bobby and I attended Burges High School. My Mother wrote 13 songs with Bobby and “A New Shade of Blue” was in “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Deadbeats” movies. Look at how exhausted Bobby looks in the pics @ 3:07 & 3:07 that I took at a football stadium on a Sunday afternoon in Cambridge,Mass. May 1966. We worked every night and sometimes days of the week. What a loss…….
Nick, there are 8 new videos that have surfaced on FACEBOOK’s “BOBBY FULLER 4″ Adm: by Alison Martino. These are must see videos. I took some of the pictures on your video: 1:59–2:04–2:26–2:40–2:46–2:47–2:53–2:57–3:04–3:07–4:01–4:06–4:45–5:52. My favorite was taken at 4AM Bobby in front of the 2 New * Track tape recorders that were mounted in the store room of his parents garage. He had cut a window thru the wall so he could see into the den to view the musicians.
Great documentary about a true Rock n Roll music artist….Bobby Fuller.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and reflect, good to hear from you. I’ve seen a photo of his drum kit in the museum online before.
Their drummer, Dalton Powell, still lives here and his original drum kit was featured last year in a museum tribute to The Bobby Fuller Four and Rock and Roll in the ’50′s and ’60′s. One day the truth will come out about who murdered him and why.
Thanks for the great tribute to Bobby. You have really done some outstanding work hedre. I live in El Paso and have been by his house and where the Rendezvous was in Hondo Pass many times. Unfortunately I’m not from here originally and never got to see him when he was alive. The photos of him and the band with a corrugated roof over their heads was when they were playing at the grand opening of the then new Bassset Center Mall. They performed on an elevated stage there.
Very nicely done, very enjoyable. A great rock n roller.
Thank you.
Thank you for the video. Excellent!!
Hey This GREAT!
I’ve been a B.F fan for long time, but there’s lot’s of new stuff here… Thanks for posting & makin’ this!
BRILLIANT!
Cheers!
Nice man!! great work
Beautiful! Bobby was the best, and it was so great to see your beautiful documentary with such rare pics, etc. Thanks!
Nice job. This was cool to watch.
Hey Nick, loved this short doc. I’m a huge BF4 fan (hosted a tribute night to them on the LES years ago as well). How did you get interested in the subject? Are you working on a full length? You’re probably already aware but the new Wes Anderson movie (Fantastic Mr. Fox) ends with a big scene that features BF4′s Let Her Dance.
Nice work!
three of my favorites, thank you
thank you!
Thanks so much Nick. Who could ever know how the music we love would have further evolved had the likes of Bobby Fuller and Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran lived
Excellent documentary! I’ve been re-listening to my “Best of Bobby Fuller Four” CD lately, and your short film was a very welcome sight indeed.
thanks very much!
Thanks for a wonderful documentary. I’ve always loved his music as a kid growing up in the 60′s and his music still sounds as fresh and kick ass as it did back then. I hope he gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he influenced so many musicians yesterday and today. Imagine how much he would have done if he were still alive today. Another great one taken way too soon.
Great job, Nick. Thanks!
thanks very much, those were some of my intentions when I made it.
Excellent work, Nick. I believe it will certainly spawn new interest from younger generations. Thanks for helping to keep his memory alive…
Great work. My old band the Real Impossibles covered that song in 1984-5. There is a live video posted here on Youtube. I got turned on to this amazing artist around 1983 when I worked at the Rhino Records label and we did some re-issues. I met Bob Keane several times. He would walk into the label with boxes of BFF and Ritche V records.
