I just watched Rock Around The Clock for the first time.
There are points when I'm watching the Comets play, the bass is doing one thing, the drummer is doing another thing, the guitarist is doing another thing, the saxophonist is doing another thing. And all the playing is very loose. Some of the songs seem to fall apart and come back together all the sudden.
There is also a pretty cool instrumental number where the saxophonist plays out of his mind.
Tony Martinez was a pretty crazy guy too.
