This Monday Feb 2nd is the 50th aniversary of Buddy Holly's final show with Ritchie Valen,J.P. Richardson at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa.
Photos taken by a woman who attended the show were uncovered by documentary filmmakers one of which appears in the current issue of Rolling Stone Magazine.
The photos were taken only a few hours before the three artists deaths in a plane crash a few miles from Clear Lake later that night.
Until now photos from other appearences of the 'Winter Dance Party' have been found but none from the final performance had ever turned up.
There is a concert by various musical figures at the Surf this week to comemorate the three performers.
Fans from as far away as Japan,Europe and the UK are expected to attend.
