Music
The Last Tour
The Capitol Theatre
Saturday, January 24, 8 p.m.
Immortalized in Don McLean's
"American Pie," the date of February 3, 1959, will forever be
remembered by rock 'n' roll historians and fans as "the day the
music died," when the plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens,
and the Big Bopper crashed north of Clear Lake, Iowa. Five days
beforehand, though, the music was still very much alive in the Quad
Cities, as this trio of legends brought their Winter Dance Party tour
to Davenport's Capitol Theatre for two shows, rocking audiences
with such classics as "Peggy Sue," "La Bamba," and "Chantilly
Lace."
