This specific stop was part of a larger tour that featured an exceptional collection of rising stars in the nascent rock and roll genre.

The show was a significant cultural event, with some accounts describing large crowds and even a fistfight among audience members due to the show's magnitude and the teenagers' dancing.

Whilst popular with the teenage audience , on some dates, artists were unable to play because of segregation laws.
